Hoover and Macdonald
Have Common Interest
ON the Charleston Evening Post.

From the Charleston Evening Post.
Up to a certain point President
Hoover and Prime Minister Macdonald
have a common interest in the success
of the naval parley in London outside
OF the broad detectives both are seeking
in the cause of peace and international
amity. and, paradoXically, this common
interest involves certain sense of
antagonism within itself and also to
the high purpose of the conference as
WELL
Success Of the conference per sc
means much to the political prestige of
Hoover and may mean the political life
OF the Macdonald government. Presi-
dent Hoover has not been fortunate
thus far on the political side of his
administration and in Washington 1t is
said that upon a successful outcome
of the London conference will depend
much in the future of Mr.. Hoover's
career, even to the point of a second
term III office. Mr.. Macdonald, it is
needless to say, is i'll constant jeopardy
of being Cverthrown as the head of the
British government.
And when 1t is said that success at
London is political element of i'm
portance to these two statesmen, there
arises speculation as to what might be
regarded as constituting success, and
herein Is to be seen the possibility of a
conflict of interest. Not only is it de-
sirable that the conference shall be a
success in its larger aspects of inter-
national good will and security to
peace, but the individual powers par
ticipating will each strive for some par
ticular advantage of position. The
general result might be highly bene-
fetal, and yet if the American people
felt that this country had made too
great concessions or that the British
had got the better of us. Mr.. Hoover
would meet political lions in his path.
BY the same token, If the British get
the idea that Mr.. Macdonald has sacri-
feed any essential of the traditional
policy Of the empire, he will be cast
out Of office In short order.

One evening by chance I strayed
Into merry masquerade,
And there it puzzled me to find
A very humble state of mind
That prompted efforts by each elf
To look like something not himself.

Senator Fletcher of Florida. one of
the Southern States which were carried
by the Republicans, in the presidential
election III 1928, has put out state
ment urging that no effort be made to
penaliZe Democrats for not supporting
the presidential ticket in that year. The
Florida State committee has been re-
ported as taking much the same stand
as that taken by the Alabama commit
tee. Senator Fletcher believes that the
Democratic party should hold out the
olive branch to all Democrats. rather
than seek to penalize those who voted
against AL Smith. The Florida eXecu-
tive committee is expected to meet Fri
day. Senator Fletcher said, in part, in
his statement:
There were many good men and
women who felt that they could not
for one reason or another--Vote for the
Democratic presidential electors" but
who did vote for all other NOM
inses OF the party. These men
and women were and are Demo-
Gratis at heart, and will continue Demo-
Gratis unless assailed or penalized and,
thereby, compelled to seek strange as
sociateS."

Contracted Prom Cattle

Indulant fever is apparently re lated to contagious abortion in cat tie. The proof of this depends on immunologic studies which are diff ficult to understand by anyone not versed in the technic of studies Of the human blood. More and more frequently cases of undulant fever. as it was called years ago, are being seen among human beings.
 Already attempts are being made to control the condition by insuring more extensive pasteuriZaton Of milk and by the elimination of cattle with contagious abortion from herds throughout the country.
 One of the most significant ob- servations of recent years is the fact that the gap between the diseases that afflict animals and the diseases that afflict man is being more close ly closed. Today man must be con- stantly aware of the fact that dis eases affecting cattle. dogs, sheep. swine. horses and indeed every liv- ing thing in his vicinity may be q potential source of danger 10 man himself.
 The germs are living organisms and change their characteristics cX- actly as do human beings in response to changes in their heredity and in their environment. A significant dis covery of the current year has been the fact that the serums for menin- gifts ordinarily potent have failed in

That morning he was satisfied to stuff himself after he had explored the inside of the corn crib. Then he went out the way he had come in. ran down the side and simply jump ed down to the ground and sCurried back to the Old Orchard, thatterer was full Of joy and corn. His eyes snapped as he thought Of the feaSts he would have all winter. He meant to keep it a secret.
 T won't tell anybody" said Chat terer to himself. No, sir. l won't tell anybody. Whenever I'm hungry I'll just go over and help myself to what I want and no one will be any the wiser. Some folks are not so smart as they think they are. Farm CT Brown and Farmer Browns Boy built that corn crib so that ] couldn't get into it. Then they made bridge for me" Chatterer chuck led as he thought this. Of course. by that bridge he meant the clothes line from the post to the corner of the corn crib.

 l rose from my chair and smiled down at him, wondering if the intui- ton children are supposed to pos sess would betray to him how eX- ceedingly perturbed l really was.
 Then one of you would be-either misunderstanding, wouldn't you?" l countered cooly, and walking rap idly toward the other side of the room. l sat down by Dickys reading lamp and took up a magazine, the pages of which 1 turned meticulous- ly but of which 1 saw nc word.
 Roderick Gives In
 It seemed hours that l sat there. my ears strained to catch a sound from Roderick's chair. l carefully avoided sending even furtive glance toward him. for l guessed that he was watching me with some- thing of the same apprehensive speculation which was in my mind regarding him. And when at last heard him say. "Im ready. Aunt
 
 which told me that he was not vet ready fully to accept my good faith

 "Wherc shall I start?" he asked
 At the beginnings" I returned promptly. You and Junior were playing very nicely together at first. What happened 70 make you an gry?'
 He wouldn't let me show him how 10 make a 'spcriment.' There was the renewal of a grievance in his voice, and l sternly suppressed the desire 10 smile.
 What experiment." I asked quietly.
 "Why. I wanted to make double decked bus out of two of his rail road cars" he returned eagerly. You take a chisel and take the top off one of the cars Then you put the other one on top of it. and fas- ten 'em together, It looks just like a big double bus. ] watched another boy make one, but Aunt Harriet wouldn't let me chisel up my own train"
 why wouldn't she?" I put the question slowly. significantly and Rodericll twisted uneasily in his chair.
 Because" he said at last, his voice flat, she said the cars were too nice to cut up: and they cost too much, and she couldn't afford to get others"
 And yet" l said slowly. "you wanted to break up Juniors cars, when you didn't know whether we could afford to get him new ones. What do you expect me to say about that. Rodcrick ?" Continued TomOrrow) Copyright, 1880, Newspaper Feature Service, Inc.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel was happy Squirrel. He was so. He was so happy that he wanted 10 tell ev- trybody how happy he was. But he Gidn't. No, sir. he didn't. For once he kept his tongue still. And for Chatterer to keep his tongue still is quite remarkable. He kept his tongue still because he didn't want anybody to know where he was. He vas on the roof Of Farmer Browns corn crib.
 Now, Chattcrcr had long wanted 10 get into that crib and had mad no chance. He couldn't climb mp stone posts and that corn crib was set on stone posts. Furthermore on the top Of each post was an inverted big tin pan. So. even had he been able to climb one of the posts, ne would have been stopped by the pan. But now he was on the root and he intended to be inside in a very short time. He had reached the roof by means Of a "lotheslne which had been fastened from corner Of the corn crib to a clothes post.
 Chattercr can move quickly. as you well know. The way he darted around on the roof Of that corn crib would have told you without words that he was very much eX- cited. Presently he leaned over the edge of the roof near one corner. Poering under the edge he dscov- cred that the space between two boards on that side was almost wide enough for him to get through. A little gnaWing would make it wide enough. You know corn cribs are built with spaces between the boards, so that air can circulate through to dry the corn.
 Chatterer hung by his hindfeet and swung himself in until he could get hold with his hands. Then he let go with his hindfeet. His sharp teeth got to work at once. It didn't take him long to gnaw a place just big enough for hlm to slip through. How Chatterer's eyes sparkled once he was inside that corn crib. Here was food enough for all the Squir- rcls in the world. Anyway. that's the way he felt.
 And it's all mine." eXutcd Chat tcrer. "Ies, sir. it's all mine." And he really felt that it was all his. Perhaps you think that funny, but it wasn't. You see. the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows are quite used to feeling that anything they find belongs to them, if they can take possession of il Chattercr felt that in getting into the corn crib he had taken possess sion of it and so the corn belonged o him. He knew. however. that he wouldn't have possession of it very long if Farmer Brown or Farmer Browns Boy should find him there. So he took great care not to show himself.

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES By Alice ,InlsOn PcaIr


 Joe did his own Christmas shop ping.
 He look the S7 cents out of his bank and went to the 10-cent store He came back loaded with parcels and paper bags. Up in his own room he closed in" door.
 only |, as a privileged character, was allowed to see what he had bought and 10 help in the wrapping. There was q doll for his cousin. pencil with q ruby on the end for his friend. Jed, a mouse puzzle for his nurse. q notebook to help his father remember things and Il pair Of engaging purple and yellow gart- CTS for his mother. My own present l was not allowed to see.
 Together We wrapped and tied ribbons, and Joe applied lberally all the bright stickers he had bought to make his gifts look quite as hand some as they should.
 When they were all done We lined th@n on the mantel in his room and agreed that they were q fine sight.
 For the whole week before Christ mas Joe enjoyed those bright mys- teriouS packages, He rearranged them half q dozen times, now put ting them in the closet for safe keep ing. now lining them all up on the mautcl again.
 It is doubtful whether anything that Joe received gave him more pleasure than the presents he gave. GroWnups often forget this part of the child's Christmas. In their eager ness to give their children every thing they wish for they lose sight Of th" fact that for children as well as for themselves at least half the joy of Christmas lies iH making oth- OTIS happy
