Now rapidly bend and straighten each

Little Miss Muffet

A rather fanciful tale was reported
the other day by Miss Muffet of Be-

was scarcely seated when a large spider
came along and sat beside her. At

called to her brother, who was painting

her side and vigorously tried to put the
spider to flight. The insect. however,
held his ground, and despite frantic
efforts to dislodge it, it remained on

Finally, the spider, with contemplate

rushed Historically into the house,
where she remained the rest of the

1t Is reported that a small mouse

the little fellow have proved fruitless.
Most remarkable of all is the fact that

The cumulative effect of all this

to the unacceptable conclusion that
the financial advantage of great

$1,000 rubles (about $12,500, 0o0)
the outstanding fact brought out
figures covering Soviet trade for
first five months of the fiscal

This means that Soviet economy
IS been able to overcome an UNI
vorable trade balance of 37,000,-

exports over imports.
The trade total for the five months
as 610,OO0,00O rubles, of which

This is a double achievement in
ew of the fact that SO much of the
oods used for export is consumed
7 the peasant as a result of his

lie fact that boarding of goods is
ported from various regions and
lat the export includes very little

Most of the boarding is due to
