Bobby was off and back again in a

Bobby carefully went down the step
and placed the pan under the tree
and then came back.

squirrels would be sure to come out. "
They'll be OUT" l predicted. Just

1t was only little while until the
handsome young rluirrel and his
wife came scurrying out of the tree
for they had heard our voices-and
up on the porch. They scampered
around and switched their tails and
nibbled on nuts which we had for
them. And then after a while they
hurried toward their tree.
We waited eagerly until they reach

right in front of the pan of water
and began tapping it like two kittens

"They drink water!" declared Bob,

must say that if they drink very much
of it they do it very quietly in out OF

Fashionable Fads

History repeats itself in many

The Rhyming
Optimist
Reward in Trust.
By Aline Michaelis

How poor little hovel where the
artlesS children played! Across the
threshold, mean and bare, a wander
ing SUNBEAM strayed. 1t lit the
squalid place within an unwonted
glow and showed this childhood,
scarce akin to that glad children
know. For there was naught of child
hoods mirth, no joyous shouts of
glee; but only tragic want and dearth
like living foes to see. Yet for these
waits none dares TO say, ALAS, that
they should live" for none can sec
the futures way the gifts that Time
may give. Life's wheels spin on and
hour by hour all things know con-
slant change; the poor gain wealth,
the week grasp power; familiar ways
grow strange. Though here is but a
hut, a crust while childhood wears
away, the kindly years hold joys in
trust to right this wrong, today.

I'm contrast with former years,

continued at high levels during the

''This Is one Of the several evi.
dences that the unhealthy condi-
ton Of peak buying activity in

Buyers in increasing numbers
are coming to the conclusion that
month as 1t is in another, regard
less of the season.
1.-THE habit Of buying In the
spring is q heritage from the old
days when there were few closed
cars and automobiles were suitable
only for fair.weather driving. The
ability Of manufacturers to pro-
ducA all-season closed cars at
prices close to those Of open models
has changed all this.
THE habit Of buying in early
fall was the result OF the uneco.
Tlon1ic practice 81, some makers of
announcing radical changes and
new models in midsummer. The
more stable manufacturers for sew.
eral years have been pushing the
sound policy OF continuously max
ing gradual improvements and re-
finenne1ts without announcing year
~ models. Buyers of cars built
under such a policy know that they
will not be subjected to artificial
depreciation losses and therefore
do not hesitate to buy in any
month OF the year,
Mr.. Corcoran, who spent several
weeks on the Pacific coast, reported
that Pierce-Arrow sales throughout
the country continues to mount, es.
pecially with the stimulation which
resulted from the introduction Of

Talk OF New Motor

Due to reports of the discovery
of a new motor fuel that would
revolutionize the industry, Al
fred P. Sloane, jr., president Of

characterizing such statements
as ridiculous:
my attention has been called
to recent statements in the pub

These reports are ridiculous
on their face, for General Mo-

should be a sufficient answer.
In addition to this there is alb
solutely nothing to form even
the slightest foundation for such
a statement.
