Not now" replied Paddy, "but next
Spring it can, for then you will be

a place as far from the course of the
current as I could get and still have

Paddy nodded understandingly. Il
have had a bank home myself in my

house of my own building, I have

May see where you are building?
I'm always interested in houses and
their building"
We've only just started, but I'll

Jerry. I'VE will have it completed

He led the way to the other side

way out from the bank Mrs. Jerry
was at work. Already there was a
platform of sod. some brush. rushes
and mud just about level with the
surface of the water. Paddy exam

Though it would hardly do for a
house for me. 1t is too small and
not stout enough. But of course Mrs.
Paddy and l are so much bigger than
you folks that We need much bigger
and stouter house. Where was your
old house that was swept away?"
Right in the same place" spoke
up Mrs. Jerry. Jerry wanted to build

Betty will be the youngest

she is GRAND. She does fancy
dancing and tap.
Betty was 4 years old last

of her we are using today she
looks like something Santa

The surgeon said: II am

Tho electoral law provides that the
constitutional Assembly shall retain ex-
ecutive powers in Cuban affairs for six
months after May %, or until after q
constitutional President is elected. On
the face of things, this projected new
deal In the island should lead to an
era Of political tranquility and stabil-
ized government, but only q super
optimist would be rash enough to bank
with assurance on such a result. The
army student group under President
Grau and Col. Batista, which has held
sway since last September. still faces
powerful opposition. Counter-revolu-
tionary embers are aglow in many d.
rections and only awaiting an opportu-
nifty to flame into fury and positive ac-
ton. A government newspaper only
this week published the details Of an
imminent revolution to be sponsored by
the Menocalists.
The State Department indicates the
continuance of Americas policy OF
watchfu1 waiting in the presence of the
Cuban kaleidoscope. President Grau's
plans for constitutional Assembly and
his own retirement will not for the time
being affect our on-recognition policy
or, of course. our definite resolve tc
abstain from intervention without
greater provocation than anything that
has so far occurred in Cuba. The
United States will continue to observe
with hopefulness the Cubans' efforts to
work out their own salvation. They

New Chestnut Trees.
Prom the Brooklyn Eagle.

from the bIOOklyH EdeIc.
The reported temperance Of chest
nut trees in nearby New Jersey has
something of an official ring to it. OF
course, the chestnut tree cannot re-
appear overnight, but some Of the old
timers, who remember it in its glory,
have hoped that little by little there
would spring up strain Of this hand
some tree that could withstand the at
tacks of the diaporthe parasite.
The agricultural agent of Essex
County states in the news that 10
chestnut trees in the county have been
reported to him as reaching the age
of bearing. That respectable age in a
tree may signify that it has got past
the stage where it would readily Sue
cumb. 1t could not easily survive so
long if steadily hunted out by the para
site that has swept in the past 25 years
through the hundreds of thousands of
square miles Of our woodlands, sparing
scarcely a specimen of the fine tree
that used to predominate on many an
Eastern hill.
Things may have reached the stage
at which the parasite can no longer
support itself. THAT stage might have
come some years ago but for the trees
habit of trying to reproduce itself from
the stump. So long as the roots kept
alive shoots would come up; the chest
nuts very striving to perpetuate life
thus prolonged the prevalence Of the
trees destroyer by providing shoots
where the parasite might harbor. That
stage, too, may have passed.
1t does not follow that young chest
nut trees, starting now to mature and
showing no signs of the blight, are i'm
mune Just possibly the parasite has
disappeared from their neighborhood.
Even in that case there is chance that
the tree may reappear sparsely, not
sufficiently abundant to renew the epi-
demic.

Manchukuo Is the possibility that his
sway, under Japan's direction, VIII
eventually be extended to include North
China proper, across the Great wall
and the seat of his power established
In the Forbidden City In Peiping
where his ancestors were once en-
throned as rulers Of old China. Such
purpose has long been attributed to
the japanese masters Of Manchukuo
There Is some difference Of opinion
among Manchukuan and Japanese
leaders as to whether Pu-Yis rule
should be projected into North China
or confined to Manchukuo, in the hope
of later obtaining the adherence OF
princes in inner and outer Mongolia,
leaving authority in China to be
sought at some later day. Toxic will
decide.
Pu-Yi's coronation will signalize ia
pans purpose to hold what she has In
Manchukuo. The refusal OF other
powers to recognize its independence"
gives Gen. Araki and his fellow war
lords no concern. China's supine ac-
ceptance of the status quo and the
League Of Nations failure to do any
thing but frown upon it make 1t GER
tain to Japan that her title to Man
churia and Jehol, however clouded 1t
NOV ha in intern national law Is not
going to be challenged.

Another Cuban Solution"

Unless the ever-present possibility Of
a sudden upset intervenes, conditions
in Cuba once again are pointing In
the direction Of solution of the is
lands chronic political turmoil. Presi-
dent Grau San Martin is preparing to
leave Office and make way for con-
stitutional successor. A late Associated
Press dispatch says that Col. Carlos
Mendieta, physiciaA- soldier statesman,
is the likeliest har to the presidency,
and may accede to it at the end of
February. This, however, is appar-
emily only one of many proposed plans
for bringing order out of chaos in
Cuba.
President Grau San Martin signal
lied the advent OF the new year by
signing an election law decree setting
April % as the date for election OF
a constitutional Assembly. Simultane-
ously he announced that he would not
continue in the presidency after May
20, when the Assembly will meet, re-
gardless Of whether its members should
confirm him as provisional President.

begging whoever picked up the bottle

1t might have been washed up any
where in the Aegean or Mediterranean
seas, but it was in fact found by a

it had been put to sea.
The matter and the bottles contents
