(READ THE STORY THEN COLOR THE PICTURE)

I guess that Clowny, like as not,
quite absent-mindedly forgot how
scared he was when he was hanging
to the moon on high. Or else he
didn't want to tell the others cause
he feared they'd yell and say he was
coward. So he let the thought
pass by.
While he was telling of his ride,
the Smoke Man came up to his side
and said, 81 think it's going to rain.
The clouds are getting thick" Wee
Clowny looked up over ahead, and
then replied, II always dread a
storm with peals of thunder. Can't
we get out of its track?"
The Smoke Man answered, 1--WE
will see. Just leave the safety task
to me-" And then he started blow
ing smoke, and said, 81 never fail. i"
He blew and blew The TIMES sat
and watched the puffs of smoke
grow flat, and then they soon dis
covered it was forming like a sail.
"Ah, there you are" the Smoke
Man said, Were ready now to sail
ahead" And, sure enough, a sail
had formed and stood in proper place.
The wind picked up and sure, but
slow, their cloud of smoke began to
go, and ere the TIMES knew it, they
were sailing into space.
They passed beneath the clouds
above and Scouty shouted, "My, i
love to travel through the air like
this. I'm not afraid at ALL" And as
they reached the safety place. each
Tiny turned his little face and cav
rain began to fall.

fame, and once regarded as one OF
the greatest moundsmen in baseball,
is another one of the "come-bacls
boys" Robertson has Travelled quite
a route. Released by the White 'Sox,
for whom he pitched the perfect
game in 1928, he went to the st.
Louis Browns on waivers. From st.
Louis he went to Milwaukee in the
American Association. The Braves
pulled him back last fall in deal
which also sent Lance Richbourg,
with Milwaukee last year, to the Bos-
ton club. Richbourg is another who
has been knocking at the major
league doors for several years.
Two others coming back to the
majors are Fred Hoffman, a catcher,
and Paul Wanninger, shortstop,
both of whom were once with the
Yankees. The two of them were at
st. Paul last year.
Hoffman has improved, no doubt,
with steady work, and Wanninger
is said to have become better hit

White HOUSES

U. S. Building Many Smaller
Homes Like Presidents
for Diplomats.
BY LEO r. SACK

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Minia-
ture White Houses are being erected
throughout the world, wherever POS
sible, as the new homes Of Amer
lean ministers and ambassadors.
In most cases large tracts OF
ground have been obtained in order
to show of properly the American
legations, emphasizes and consulates.
Details of comprehensive diplo-
matte building program have been
reported to Congress by Representa-
tive Stephen G. Porter Of Pitts
burgh. chairman of the Foreign
Service Building Commission.
S2,OOO,OOO Made Available
Porter, who is chairman of the
Houc Foreign Affairs Committee,
persuaded Congress last year to au-
thorize $10,000000 to replace in
adequate buildings throughout the
world, $2,000,70 of which was made
available Immediately.
Immediate attention is being Civ
en- to Central and South America
and Asia in countries where Amer
lean prestige is minimized by Gov
eminent buildings which fail to re-
fleet the international prestige and
Importance of the United States. In
many capitals the proposed Amer
lean homes will be impressive show
places.
Il am strongly inclined to follow
the policy. laid down by George
Washington when he insisted upon
the acquisition by the Government
Of goOd-SiZed areas of land for
Sites" Representative Porter told
the Appropriations Committee in
explaining the commissions policy.
Large Tracts Urged
''You see this at the present time
in the satisfactory protection of the
capitol and the White House from
the Entertainments of noise, smoke
and traffic by reason of the area of
the surrounding park. I have seen
a good many capitals of the world,
but in no country except our own
and Canada are the Parliament or
Congressional buildings surrounded
by adequate land"
Another reason for adequate land,
especially In tropical countries,
Porter pointed out, is health and
sanitation. In these places Amer
acan sewers, wells, plumbing and
other accepted conveniences will be
installed.
Many Are Started
Upkeep costs will Ee comparative
ly small because of reduced or no
taxation, small carrying charges and
cheap day labor.
New buildings are in process of
struction in Panama City,
Anagua, Nicaragua; Tirana, AL
Mania; Penang, Bangkok, Calcutta,
ERio de Janeiro, Shanghai, Mukden,
Monrovia, Annoy, Toxic and Yoko-
hama Others will follow next year.
Policy Of the commission, Porter
explained, Is to build American
structures out of American mate
rails and according to American de-
signs. Southern Colonial architec-
ture, as exemplif1ed by the White
House, will be followed wherever
climatic conditions will permit.
