The young Bluebird who was TAX
ing bath in a dish of water near
the clothesline Of Farmer Browns
dooryard gave a final splash and
flew up beside his brother and sis
ter on the clothesline. His brother
and sister, who were all in white,
gave startled Titles cries and flew
off few feet. You see, they were
completely upset. This sounded like
their brother when he spoke, but
he certainly didn't look like their
brother. He was dressed all in
blue. Not only was he blue on back
and wings, as were his father and
mother, but his breast was blue. In
fact, he was blue all over; and his
eyes were pink. Had it not been for
those pink eyes, I fear that even
then the two little folks in white
would have refused to believe that
this was their brother.
What is the matter with you?"
he demanded Grossly.
Nothing is the matter with U.S."
replied his sister. THE matter is
with you. What have you been do
ing to YOURSELF"
Nothing" replied the young
Bluebird promptly. I've taken a
bath: that's ALL"
But you've changed your coat"
cried his sister.
Il haven't done anything of the
lind - rafN No
You have, tool" retorted she.
You are all blue and before YOU
went into that water you were all
white"
Don't talk NONSENSE" said he
sharply. Tin as white as | ever
was" Then Ie bent his head and
looked down at his breast and he
was so surprised that he almost let
go OF the clothes line. Yes, sir. he
almost let go Of the clothesline. He
spread out Il wing and drew IT
around in front of him. Every feath-
er OF 1t was blue. He stared at it
with his mouth wide open, the fun
niest-looking Bluebird you ever saw.
he was still very wet. He shook
himself hard. Some little drops of
water flew from him and one of
them landed on his sister. It made
little blue spot. Its that water,'
he cried. TT must be magic water.
Why don't you take a bath in it and
and become blue, too"
No sooner were the words out of
his mouth than his sister was over
to that dish Of water and in it. Then
his white brother joined her. How
they dipped and ducked and spat-
tered. You never saw such excited
birds. When at last they had to stop
for breath, they were no longer
white Bluebirds. They were blue
Bluebirds. They We're the bluest
kind OF Bluehirds. You should have
seen them sit around and admire
each other
II wonder if it will come off when
we get dry" said one.
The one who had taken the bath
first was already quite dry. The blue
hadn't come off. It was perhaps a
little lighter, but it hadn't come off.
Just to make sure that they were
blue enough, they all took another
dip. Meanwhile the other two young
Bluebirds, who had been the first to
battle. had gone to look for some
thing to eat. They hadn't seen what
was going on. SO when the three
young Bluebirds who had been
white went over to join them, they
were received as strangers In fact,

Fortune In Diamonds
Left Without Guard

LONDON Up. - Diamonds in the
rough offer little attraction to bur-
glars. Uncut diamonds valued at
100000 pounds lie on tables in an
office near Holborn viaduct with no
special guard and little insurance.
These stones represent the output OF
the United Diamond Fields of British
Guiana for six months
Diamonds have to be cut before
they are of great value This cut
ting must be done either in Amster-
dam or Antwerp, where the owner
ship of stones must be thoroughly
established before reputable firms will
touch them. Even after the stones
are cut it is impossible to sell them
to good firms without establishing
their ownership beyond a doubt.

motor car left the assembly line on
November 5 at 10 O'Clock, or nine
| days short of 13 years from the time
the founders started the corporation

car history
William Alberts, Douglas distributor
of the Dodge, calls attention to the
fact that this is a record not equalled
by any automobile builder in the
Dodge class as to price, nor has it
been approached by any of the higher
priced cars. Calculated on retail
values, It produced more than $2,200,-
600, and that for this work they paid
in wages, $345, 100000
According to Mr. Alberts, the Dodge
popularity continues to grow in the
territory he represents and he is
forecasting a greater year of business
for 1928, as he says that Dodge quail
ity has been proved by experience
and the Dodge car stands stronger
with the trade today than ever be-
fore.

"ENGLAND WANTS WAR"

BIZ CHtfe0 Press
MOSCOW, May 26.-England is
pushing toward war by breaking off
diplomatic relations with Russia, M
M. Litvinoff, assistant commissar for
foreign affairs, charged in a state
ment to the press last night.
1.-THE break in Anglo-Soviet rela-
tons is not the result of the ARGOS
raid Litvinoff said. "The raid was
the result of the intention to break
off relations.
Litvinoff said the break was the
result of a British campaign ito
crush the Soviet at any cost" The
campaign started, he said, with the
Zinoviev letter, which contributed
to the overthrow of the Macdonald
labor government in England by the
Baldwin conservative regime.
British Foreign Minister Cham
berlain, "who is a holder of the
Nobel peace prize" hesitated to
break off relations until he could
find allies. but failing in that de-
oided to attack singly, hoping to
draw in other nations, Litvinoff
charged.
"These countries must know the
nature of the criminal adventure
wherein they may become involved"
he said. 1.-THE Soviet will take all
precautions to keep from being
caught mapping"
