 Johnny would have gone to her

 "There's a haul of freight going up to 23d St. Vosnik. Then you can cowboy with those cows that
 are waiting up there."
 "Cows?" Vosnik asked. "What's cows doing around here? Only thing we ever got was dead beef." "Yeah, 1t Is pretty odd. Some Western ranch Ia sending . bunch

 Pacing slowly up toward Twenty third Street, Johnny forgot all about tho steers he was going to

 Jenny. Maybe she meant 1t: may
 be she really had made up her
 mind last night. He couldn't blame
 her for getting sore about those
 glasses. If he'd had any sense he'd
 have given her the damn rope when she asked for 1t, instead of fighting all over the place. He'd make up to her as soon as he saw her; he'd go right up to hor and ask her to forgive him. And then he'd give her the rope, to show that ho meant 1t.

 Washington. (UP)-The navy is cycling the Aleutian Islands and Alaska as probable future Pacific bases.
 A working survey expedi- ton, undertaking the third year of its program, is obtaining data on possible fleet and aircraft anchor- ages and bases. The expedition under command of Rear Admiral Sinclair Cannon sailed recently from Bremerton, Wash.
 The surveys results will be com- municated to Secretary of Navy Claude A. Swanson for action. The work Is expected to be finished by october. Meanwhile, tho cabinet officer Is guarding details of the navy's plans carefully.
 Modification of Treaty
 Bases, however, could not be built on tho Aleutian Islands with- out modification of tho Washing. ton Naval treaty, which said the present status of tho islands must be maintained. Fortihcations, ac. cording to the troaty, could ho built on continental Alaska.

AS SHOOK BACK
sS7cfS7i saa sr THE MAN IN rnE TOWER

I remember, remember, The house where was born, There was no window where the sun Came peeping in each morn; Instead we used electric light And this the reason why All around us stood apartments Reaching far up to the sky. There were no pretty flowers Nor robins in a tree, No swimming pool, my brow to cool Oh no not for me. Instead saw but city streets, Trolleys and busses black with grime- For such was the environment In which I spent my time. But now look at lovely trees Their leafy tops so high, And violets and roses red Turned upwards toward the sky; Twas once in childish ignorance knew not of this joy But now know I'm nearer heaven Than when was boy.
