dears."
So they all sat and looked at the
little black hole,
When the camera man said,
"Look!
If the picture Is good we will send
it away,
For page in q picture book"
And sure enough, here on the page
they stand,
Do you think they were pleased
with the sight?
They cried out in anger, they
trembled with rage,
Such treatment, they said, was
not right.
where are our dresses Of scarlet
and green,
And where are our colors so
gayT'
And Peter Potato looked solemn
and stern,
And said he would write right
away.
No decent potato would wear black
and white!
Such carrots had never been
seen!
And Mrs. Tomato just looked like
fright,
And who ever heard Of a bean
So pale and anemic?-The radishes,
too,
Should be just as red as a rose.
"Oh, Editor Dear, ask the children,
we pray,
To give us our beautiful clothes"
So, children, get busy, your friends
are distressed,
And paint them as bright as you
can,
Perhaps once again, in their bright
colors dressed,
They'll forgive the poor camera
man.

London naval treaty.
Returning to the Capitol the Illinois
Representative said he had obtained
confidential figures which showed that
new construction requirements for the
next 10 years would call for 1880 tons
in 6-inch gun cruisers. 100000 tons in
new destroyers, 52,700 tons in SUBJ
marines and $4,000 tons in aircraft
carriers,
The Britten measure was being

APPEARS CURBED
Big Forest Fires Rage on
Eastern Shore and
Near Annapolis.
Continued From First Page.)

which they fought, attacking the fire
from the sides.
! At times yesterday and last night
the flames, solid mass along q path
sometimes two miles wide, swept
| through the timber as fast as q man
could run. 1t would have been suicide
for fire fighter to get into the path
of the flames.
Front Is Narrowed.
The front along which the fight was
being waged today had narrowed to
about half mile, and the fire was not
eating so fast into the dry underbrush
in front of it. The fire fighters were
| rapidly closing in on the flames from
| the sides and were able to whip out
little fires caused by sparks flying be-
fore the big fire.
From Washington came word this
morning that there is a possibility that
there will be thunder showers this after
noon, and land owners whose property
is in the path of the fire to the north
OF here were anxiously scanning the
skies for indications that the elements
will take hand in the fight.
Firef1ghters in the mountains today
declared that few huckleberries which
will grow on the mountainsides about
here as the result of the fire are to
blame for the blaze. They expressed
the opinion that berry pickers, who earn
pin money in the late summer from the
berries, set fire to the woods to help the
berry crop. Police are making thor
ough investigation of the origin of the
fires.
Large fires were reported burning on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland and in
ANNA Ar,,yIa1 ond Fyolyarf Counties fI,ie
morning, but the territory near Wash
ington, menaced by several big forest
fires over the week end, was free of
flames.
One of the largest fires was in prog
ress between Glenburnie and Annapolis,
which cut through miles of dry growth
between the Severn and Magothy Riv-
ers. The fire burned over a Smile
area quickly, and hundreds of volun-
teers were fighting to save houses and
farm buildings. At noon no property
loss had been reported.
District Forester Walter ]. Quick, jr.,
and a large corps of men have been
battling the fires day and night. Quick
has not been home since Saturday.
$25O,000 Loss Estimated.
On the Eastern Shore one of the worst
fires in history was reported literally
5000 acres. Damage to the woodland
was placed at $250,000.
The Muirkirk tower, just off the Bal
timore Boulevard, reported the serious
fires that ragged in Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties over the week end
were extinguished. Not column of
smoke was visible this morning, the
towerman said. At Brandywine tower
two small brush fires were reported, but
both were quickly brought under con-
troll.
From Cumberland, Md, came reports
that the fires that have been raging
in the Allegany and Garrett Counties
have been put under control. Rain
was falling in the fire area this morn
ing and considerably aiding the fire-
fighters.
The fires which have been burning
on Martin and Tussey Mountains for
several days were reported practically
extinguished. About $50 men have
been fighting these fires.
