"This vast armament con-
tinues not only Q burden upon
the economic recuperatiOn OF
the world, but, Of more cOnse-
Quence, the constant threats
and fears which arise from It
are q serious contribution to
all forms of instability whether
social. political or economic.
Not BuiIded Upon Fear
Mr.. Hoover viewed the situation
frankly and said that try as he
must to support every proposal OF
economic cooperation which Is
1ust "to our respective peoples. yet
we must recognize that reduction
of this gigantic waste Of compett'
ton in military establishments Is
the ultimate Of an importance
transcendent over all other forms
Of such economic effort"
international confidence can
not be builded upon fear-it
must be builded upon good will.
The whole history Of the world
Is filled with chapter after chap
ter Of the failure to secure peace
through either competitive arms
or intimidation.
''Within q short time, the
principal nations Of the world
will meet to discuss the broad
questions Of reduction in land
armament. The very calling Of
this conference Is i'm itself not
only proof Of need, but is an
emphatic evidence Of progress
In the world demand for peace
and for relief.
Indirect Interests
"Of all proposals for the eco
nOmic rehabilitation Of the
world, / know of none which
compares in necessity or impOr.
tance with the successful result
Of that conference.
"The United States has a less
direct interest in land arma-
ment reduction than any Of the
large nations because our forces
have been already demObilized
and reduced more than all
others.
1--WE have, however, q vast in
direct interest in greater asSur-
ance of peace, order, and the in
creased economic prosperity Of
other nations. 1t is within the
power of business men Of the
world to insist that this problem
shall be met with sincerity, cOur-
age and constructive action. 1t
Is within the power Of statesmen
to give to the world a great as
surance for the future and q
great moral victory for human
ity."
More than 1000 business lead
ers from 46 nations heard the
urgent pleas of President Hoover
for stability and peace. The con-
vention chamber at the Pan-Amer"
lean Building was packed.

Juliet Jones, who's going to be just as

The supervisors face fell. In a

this was Tessie Jones and that we hired
her for my picture. Who Is this girl"
Rudely as though she were a wooden

why, this is Juliet Jones. You know,

Juliet was aghast. But you said you
liked it. just now"
You're wrong I don't. I thought
you were Tessie Jones. I want her on

too" He went out, slamming the door.
Juliet turned to the frowning direc-
tor. Whats the idea?" she asked.
The director shrugged. He doesn't
know anything about anything. He
doesn't trust himself Now Tessie Jones
has a reputation out here. He really
liked your stuff. But he didn't dare
keep on liking it after he found you'd

trying to bark their heads off.
Nearer and nearer to Yap Yap crept
Farmer Browns Boy, and more and
more excited became Yap Yap. Farmer
Browns Boy nearly chuckled aloud at
the way zap Yap jerked his funny lit
tie tail. All the others were Jerking
their tails in the same way at thought
Chatterer the Red Squirrel could Jerk
his tail about as fast as any one. but he
could take lessons from these fellows"
thought Farmer Browns Boy.
The nearer he got the greater became
the excitement. zap Yap would drop
down on all fours and then pop up
right again. All the other Dogs that
were near enough to see him were lust
as much excited. They barked and
parked, and they jerked their funny
little tails so fast that Farmer Browns
Boy half expected to see one fly right
of. Now and then one would dive
down into his house, only to pop out
again at once. Stubtail was on his
doorstep, just as much excited as Yap
Yap. Neither OF them could sit still
for more than a few seconds. They
were afraid OF this curious creature
creeping nearer and nearer, but Curl
osity was greater than fear. Never had
they seen anything like 1t. They would
start to dive into their homes and
safety, only to turn for one more look.

What could this thing be? OF course,
it was foolish. very foolish. to remain
out there in the open with this thing
so near. Yap zap knew that. But
every time he would decide to go into
the house curiosity would stop him.
Presently it began to move again.
Mrs. Yap zap promptly dived into the
house. Yap Yap started to, but sat up
for one more look. At last common
sense overcame curiosity and In he
went. Hardly mad he disappeared, how
ever when up popped his head for just
one more look. Farmer Browns Boy
was close to the house by this time,
and Yap Yap hastily withdrew his
head, but Farmer Crowns Boy could
hear him chattering away inside the
house and knew by the sound that he
was still near the doorway As a mat

Summertime
By D. c. PEATTIE.

Wherever the soil is dark and rich,
wherever the naples and beecheS are
spreading out their first full LEAKAGE
and the midges gyrate and the thrush
still sometimes sings in the cool of
the day, the little wild liquorice
dances under the spotted light and
shade, and / stop sometimes to dig a
root and MUNICH 1t, or, pressing its long
pointed pods, that look rather like the
cranesbill's, In my fingers, delight in
the refreshing and sweet aroma that 1t
leaves there.
Most of the flowers are gone, but
flowers in the parsley family are gen.
orally of humble appearance. Indeed,
the family that botanists call umbelli-
fers, on account of the umbrella
shaped branches in the flower clusters,
Is often reckoned as the poor relations
of the towering plants. BY their
fruits ye shall know them; the begin
ner in nature study is soon repelled by
the bristly technicalities, as well as the
actual bristles on many of their fruits,
by which the genera of this family
are known.
All the same, 1t is a fascinating
family, and it is also what botanists
call a natural family, that is, it
has powerful family characteristics, so
that one would almost never make any
mistake about it. 1t gives us such
useful plants as the carrot. parsley,
priced in Europe, sweet cicely, salad
chervil, skirret, anise, dill, lovage,
goutweed and fennel, coriander and
cumin seed.
Gardeners Of Washington, those, at
least, who like something different" ="
raise eryngo, blue lace-flower, and mas
terwort, and sometimes Queen Anne's
lace in the wildfower bed.
Growing wild, right here in the
District, are some twenty common
kinds, not to mention the now prob
ably extinct, enormous and stately COW
parsnip that once grew on High
would be in bloom this month and
the next, If it could be rediscovered.
There is also a fascinating supple
mentary list Of umbellifers that have
not been found in the District for
twenty or thirty years or more. and
need to be dug up again by persons
setting out on the romantic quest of
lost flowers.
First of all. I would mention the
poison hemlock Of Europe, by which
Hannibal and Socrates were put to
death, and plant passing under the
quaint name of mock bishop-weed. It
was long ago found at Custis Spring
The native water 1emlock that repro
duces without flowers by means of
bulblets in the axis of the leaves was
discovered in the last century along
the Alexandria Canal, opposite the
Arlington estate, and is never seen
nowadays. The European Chervil has
been missing since 1902: the hedge
parsley, a waif from Europe, may have
strayed, or stayed, we know not which.
and the E1IrOnean ervn0o or sea -hollv
is almost certainly lost pleiad. So
the umbellifers, queens of the month
Of June, have the charm that their
handsome species is mostly common,
and their little waStrel members have
the allure of rarity.

Farmer Browns Boy.

Early on the morning after his ar

ito visit 1t. He had read about Prairie
Dogs. but, of course, there were none at
home on the Green Meadows, and he
was eager to make the acquaintance
Of these lively little people. He left
Flip behind much to the latter's dis
appointment.
II never could get near them with
you along" he explained. THE sight Of
all those Dogs would drive you crazy,
and guess the sight Of you would drive
them just as crazy. OF course, II they
were really Dogs you might have a
chance to get acquainted, but they are
not Dogs at all, but cousins of Johnny
Chuck. suppose they are called Dogs
because of the way they bark. I'll take
you over there some other time"
When Farmer Browns Boy came in
sight of the town, he went down on his
hands and knees and began to crawl
He crawled slowly and carefully. The
nearer he got the flatter he tried to
make himself. The nearest house was
that of Yap Yap. and zap Yap was sit

An inexpensive fringe for table scarfs
can be made by winding cotton EN-.

times to make sufficient thickness around

side three times. Cut the other side and
tear out the paper. The paper cannot
be removed from the stitching. but 1t
