MISSES,
FOX ESCAPES

A janitor-not being Schooled
in the gentle art of biz game hunt
ing-took his first lesson yester-
day by trying to catch a fox with
a broom. He found out that you
can't do that.
Seen at Circle
The fox, large red one, was
first seen at Grant Circle by
Robert Workman, of 1856 Allison
st. N. w. When the fox saw Mr..
Workman, however, Mr.. Work
mann saw only sort of red blur
disappearing down Webster Street.
Mistaking a window pane for a
hole in the wall, the fox startled
Mrs. Joseph Quinn, of 119 Web
ster ST., by landing in the middle
of her kitchen. From there he
scurried into the basement.
Mrs. Quinn called upon a jani-
tor who was nearby to catch the
animal, which had cut himself to
some extent in crashing through
the glass.
Fox FleeS Broom
The janitor thought a broom
would be a big help. He ap-
preached the fox. He was very
much surprised to see a red blur
shoot through the air, to hear
another window crash and to
find that there was no fox in
the baseme- The animal had
decided against a life of domes-
ticity.

aims of communism, F.. A. Tilson,

FAITH BIC NEED
Of j. s, SAYS
ROCKEFELLER

Retired Oil Magnate Silent
on Unemployment; Refuses
to Discuss Liquor Report
ORMOND BEACH. Fla, Jan.
81 Q.N.SD.-"We must have
faith"
John D. Rockefeller made this
remark today when asked to COM
ment on the present economic
situation. All he would say on the
subject was;
I'VE must have faith"
And, he quickly added:
I'VE must have faith all the
time"
Silent On Slump
Although he was just as genial
and gracious as ever, Mr.. Rocke-
feller would not discuss such sub
jects as the Wickersham report
or the unemployment problem be-
cause, he explained, he had been
importuned so much for inter
views he did not want to do for
one newspaper man what he would
not do for another.
He was asked:
"HOw Is your health?"
He replied:
Fine, and I am very crate
full"
Mr.. Rockefeller, now 81 years
old, certainly seemed to be in ex-
cellent physical and mental con-
dition. His cheeks were tanned a
light brown from the outdoors.
His small, light blue eyes were
bright with health. His step was
surprisingly agile. He was at
tired for golf, having just ar
rived in his limousine at the Or
mond Beach links with a party OF
friends.
His Golf Game Fair
The reporter suggested:
"YOu should live to be well
over 100 years old"
John D. pondered a moment.
Then with smile, he said:
"WelI, I'm not thinking Of
old age yet"
Later when he had finished
eight holes of golf, the writer
asked him how was his game.
His answer sounded strangely
familiar-so like the general run
Of golf addictS. He said:
"Oh, it's pretty fair, but there
always seems room for improve
ment."
