the patient. Il can't quite locate it,

CTIILDREN'S BEDTIME STORY
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

as IL those bright eyes of Striped
Chipmunk saw where every nut rolled
to. OF course they didn't, but those
they didn't see his keen little nose
found, SO it amounted to the same
thing.
Never had the Merry Little Breezes
had such good time. Some times
they would tease Striped Chipmunk
by shaking down only few at time
Then they would shake branch SO
hard that the brown nuts would fly In
all directions. But Striped Chipmunk
didn't mind. All he wanted was to
have the nuts on the ground where
he could get them. Back and forth,
back and forth, back and forth he
scampered between his secret store
house and the place where the brown
nuts were being shaken down and in
his heart was song of Joy. And
there was like Joy in the hearts of
the Merry Little Breezes, for they had
discovered the joy of something to do,
Of work. Never had day passed SO
quickly. They had helped another
and in so doing had won for them
selves a great happiness.
'Well come again, tomorrow" they
cried, as they saw Old Mother West
Wind coming across the Green Mead
ows with her big bag in which to take
them to their home behind the Purple
Hills.
"Thank you'll" cried Striped Chip
munk, as he sat down to rest his
weary legs.

Worry and Trouble
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

I'VE seen a lot whose luck was bad
And heard about the loss they had.
And others in the neighborhood
Who hadn't yet, but thought they
would.
The losers didn't seem so sad
That's what i never understood:
The ones who hadn't lost thing
Did mostly all the worrying.
The losers used to laugh and say,
We'll, that Is over anyway,
Beyond question or a doubt,
And nothing more to fret about"
The ones who worried all the day,
The ones who looked all petered out,
We're those who ran ahead and met
Bad luck that hadn't happened yet.
It seems that way with all our woe
The ones who trouble really know
Don't worry much but those who
fear
That things might maybe happen
here
(AlthOugh they may not happen SOY
The worried seem, the sad appear
Though trouble Is thing you see,
And worry only what may be.

CONFEREES DIFFER
ON ECONOMY PLAN
Farley on Treasury-Post Office
Supply Bill Fails to End
Deadlock.

Senate and House conferees made an
other futile effort today to reconcile
their differences over the Treasury-Post
ONCE supply bill, including the general
economy program. When they sepa-
rated at noon until tomorrow morning,
indications were that very little prog
reSs had been made.
It Is understood that the issues re-
manning unsettled include the Bratton
per cent saving amendment, the pro-
posal to restore automatic promotions
in the military services and for certain
other employees, the S19,000,000 airmail
item and the question of whether the
Bureau of Efficiency should be abolished.
The conferences were resumed this
morning after the Senate several days
ago rejected a partial conference re-
port, which would have restored to the
bill the airma1 fund and several other
Senate reductions in the Treasury De-
partment. The House opposed to the
Bratton amendment, which would re-
quire all Government departments and
establishments to reduce S per cent be-
low authorized appropriations next
year.
If the conferees fail to agree in time
to have the bill passed before Satur-
day. 1t will become one of the major
problems for the special session in
April. The conferees are In accord on
the reorganization powers to be con-
ferred on President-elect Roosevelt.

have been effected whereby local insti-
tutions. should the need arise. may
secure leans on sound assets from the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
and get prompt and almost instanta-

This is occasioned by the fact that
ordinarily 1t is the practice in making
r. F. C. loans that they must first be
approved by the advisory committee
of prominent bankers who have been
selected and appointed by the r. r C
board and who must first give their
approval and transmit their recommen-
dations to the loan agency for the Fed

are located.
In the case of Washington. ordi-

the local loan agency would be trans
