Mrs. Holt up in his arms and
totes her upstairs and lays her
on a bed and runs to a window
on the side nearest his house
and calls to his wife to come
over quick as she can get there,
and then he jumps for the tele-
phone and puts through an
emergency call for the cops
and then, although he knows
it's no earthly good so far as
Holt is concerned, he rings up
a doctor, and the doc is here

The Children's Theater Play
ers of New York will be here
on March 18 at the National
Theater in "Pinocchio," one of
the best-beloved fairy stories in
italian literature.
Realizing that not all our
members are budding novelists
or short story writer's, we are
giving the others chance with
a different type of contest. We
will, as in the past, have SO
tickets to distribute among our
members.
Jig-saw puzzles being the fash
ion of the day, we have ar
ranged a "Pinocchio" jig-saw
contest.
Today we are publishing the
first piece of the puzzle. The
remaining four pieces will ap-
pear in the column March 2.
4, 6 and 8. That makes five in
all.
March 13
The puzzle must be put to-
gether and arranged neatly on
a piece of paper. Fix it up any
way you like, but it must be
NEAT. All puzzles must be on
our desk by Monday, March 13.
That will give you PLENTY of
time to work on them.
Just as a hint to help you a
bit the connected pictures will
show Bobby Heather, of the
Children'S Theater Players, in
his Pinocchio costume.
The story of the play should
be familiar to all of you. The
name of the marionette hero
is known to thousands Of chill
dren throughout the world.
The story, written originally in
Italian, has been translated
into almost every language.
Wood Speaks
The story opens in the work
shop of an old carpenter,
Antonio, who lived in Italy.
Carving a piece of wood one
day he heaEs a squeaking little
wood and discovers it is the
wood talking. He gives the
wood to his assistant, Geppetto,
who carves it into a little
marionette Pinocchio, who
comes to life.
Pinocchio is not content to
stay at home but goes forth
into the world in search of
adventure. He finds it in a
circus, where he meets Harle-
quin and other marionettes.
He meets, also, the Fox, Cat,
Grow and Owl. Other charac-
ters in the story include the
Cricket, the Blue Fairy and a
host of whimsical little crea-
lures you will adore.
His adventures teach Pinoc-
chic, who is a mischievous little
creature, a good lesson. But
The Washington times., 1933-02-28

Holt hears. So in a minute
here comes Holt down and the
boiglar sticks where he is un-
der the table until Holt is
right on top of him, almost.
And then up he comes and
sticks his gun against Holt and
lets him have it right through
the heart. And then he loses
his head altogether and drops
his gat and lams out Of The
door and beats it and is gone

developed weakness in early foreign
exchange dealings. The British pound
recovered SIS cents at S5l2ss and the
French franc moved up 9th OF cent
to 6.16 cents.
While exchange rates still occupied an
important niche in the speculative struc-
ture, much interest was expressed IN
signs Of further business and industrial
Improvement. Such statistical evi-
dence as the freight car loadings report
for the week ended December % was
viewed as highly encouraging. Total
loadings for that week, while under
the figure for the immediate previous
period, still showed a gain of 612 per
cent over the 1882 week and were 1912
per cent ahead of the corresponding
1881 week. The decline from the pre-
ceding week. 1t was pointed out, was
much less than seasonal.
In line with the traffic indicator, an
