Merry Christmas, children.

: Merry Christmas, children.
The editor Of the Adventure
Club column wishes you all
the m erriest and happiest
Christmas of your lives. And
thanks for all the nice little
Christmas messages you sent us.
This being a holiday we think
the incest thing we could do
would be to use one of the
fairy stories sent us in the
cinderella" contest to finish
the column. We picked the
one called ."The Rebellious
Princess" written by Theresa
Hayden Of 1106 Good Hope
Rd. s. E..
:tOnce upon q time there was
. princess who grew tired Of
staying home at her fathers
castle and going to state din
nerS and receptions. So one
day she put on q peasant dress
and ran away to see the world.
She took q purse Of gold with
her but it was stolen the first
thing. No one paid any atten-
ton to her because she was
poor. She had a very hard
time to get along. She begged
her food and slept in haystacks
but she was too stubborn to
70 back to her fathers castle
and say that she was sorry
she ran away.
"She wandered ON and on,
her clothes nothing but rags
and her shoes worn out. Then
IN old woman took her home
70 live with her and she had
TO work hard and wait ON the
old wOman's daughter who
loved nothing but pretty clothes
and to have q good time. No
enc was good to the poor lit
tie princess but the old wo-
mans adopted son, AImas, who
had been left on the doorstep
when . baby.
"At last the princess grew
% tired that she went back to
her father but to punish her
he pretended he didn't know
her. So she had to go away
again.
'cNow the old woman's
adopted SON had followed her
and when he sew her going
away from the castle crying
he told her that he loved her
and wanted her to be his wife.
She said Yes because he was
the only person, she thought,
In the world who cared for her.
Her father, however, had not
meant that she should go away
and he sent a messenger after
her to bring her back.
''When Almas found out that
Ghe was q princess he said he
couldn't marry her but she
said that true love was better
than all the wealth in the world
and that she wouldn't go back
to the palace without him. So
he said he'd 80.
''They were married the next
day and lived happily ever
Afterwards"

Around
The
Ca pital

when Veida s. Morrow,
lawyer for the Department Of
Justice, arrived in Washington
from Seattle to take over her
present job, her offices were
near Sheridan Square and she
decided that the statue Of the
horse would always be the
landmark by which she would
locate the place wherein she
worked.
One day she went out to
lunch, as usual, and failed to
take note of the restaurant in
which she ate.
She emerged, saw q statue,
but could not find her office.
She walked. She saw an
other statue of a horse, but no
office.
At length she found herself
several blocks away from her
office.
Since then she has found
other methods by which to
locate her offices.

44S,4S1 CRATES BY TRUCK

The strawberry season through
out lower Delaware came to a
close last week, a week earlier this
year than last, but probably lit
tie later than usual. During the
1882 season, first shipments were
made about May 10, but this sea-
son the first straight car moved on
May 13 from the Delmarva PENN
sula. The 1882 shipping season
extended until about June 10, but
there were but few shipments af-
ter June z this season. Statistics
recently compiled show the acre
age in Delaware was increased to
g, 300 or about 8 per cent While
weather conditions were fairly
favorable for the setting and de-
Velopment of large crop, rainy
weather during the time that the
Delaware crop was moving to the
markets, interferred with the nor
NAL movement of the crop. Rainy
weather during late May, followed
10y period of hot, sultry weather
during the first week in June caus-
ed the q uality of the fruit to de-
teriorate. Both carlot and truck
shipments were heavier than last
year. During the period from May
% to June s, this season, 448,481
lcrates were moved by truck over
the Delaware highways, according
to data compiled by the Delaware
State Highway Department and
the Delaware Bureau of Markets
Delaware from May % to June s
shipped by truck 107, ,O20 crates or
a third more than the last year.
Up to June 8, the total carlot ship
ments by freight, express and boat
reached TIA cars 70 the entire
area or an increase of over so per
cent above the carlot shipments to
June 9, amounting to 443 cars.
Delaware sent out between May %
and June 9 one hundred and forty
nine cars as compared with II for
the corresponding period last year
The effect of heavy supplies and
poor quality combined to depress
the auction prices to mostly S1OO-
S1.50 per 80 quart crate during the
last week in May, with some fruit
selling from rs to 85 cents There
was a light increase in prices af-
ter Memorial Day. but by that
time the bulk of the Delmarva
Peninsula berries had been ship

We can expect a great increase in

their way to and from school, it
seems, they are quite cautious and
remember to look both ways before
they cross the street; also the
School Boy Patrols are in action

But during vacations they are

REICH ON ARMS

BY International News Service
The United States is definitely
opposed to any such rearmament
by Germany as has been pro-
posed by the Hitler government.
it was stated in high official
quarters today.
Germany's latest demand for
the right to rearm Immediately
with samples" of such weapons
as France and the other powers
intend to maintain, and the right
to absolute equality Of armament
with France at the end OF four
years, created disappointment and
apprehension at the State De-
partment.
Unless Germany withdraws these
demands it is feared the disarma-
ment conference will be wrecked
completely, with Europe drifting
to the brink of another war.
Officials said it was taken for
granted here that Norman H.
Davis, Americas chief disarma-
ment representative at Geneva,
will throw the full weight of his
influence in vigorously opposing
German demands.
