Here's your flowers, honey Sarah's voice came from the hall
 Nancy opened the door. Her hands were trembling when she took the box.
 My goodness, you looks nicel" Sarah's admiration was uncon- cealed. My, my, ain't that beau- tiful dress! And when you puts dem flowers on"
 Hush the chatter, Sarah, and help me with this string" Nancy said. Her voice showed that she was pleased.
 It would have been dreadful if Ted Stansbury had forgotten flow- CTS, but he had not. Here they were!
 The top of the box came off and the tissue paper parted. Roses, Nancy said slowly. Of course roses were nice. But this dress seemed to require some particular gor- geousness. Nancy lifted the pink buds and secured them to her shoulder. Ridiculous to be disap- pointed.
 Miss Dana got some flowers, too,' Sarah announced. "Uhmn," said Nancy, studying the effect of the shoulder bouquet in the mirror. She gathered up the lovely lengths of her new frock and went down the hall to Dana's room.
 Scarcely waiting for her knock to be answered, Nancy flung the dor wide. Dana was standing be- fore long mirror. Her slender young arms were lifted as she pinned a bouquet of vivid orchids to her shoulder. Clouds of white swirled about her slender figure Her eyes were bright with happi- ness. A smile parted her lips. The smile that had curved Nancy's own mouth a moment be- fore was gone. She stood in the doorway, surveying her sister. She thought bitterly, Whats the use of having 8 new dress? Dana's beau- tiful. Eve never seen anyone as beautiful before"

ORIGINAL EXCUSE FOR
 SINNER"

Susanville, Cal. (UP)--Barbara Bryant returned from a canoe ride with Donna Bridges at Silver Lake with black eye. Her best explanation for the "shiner" was that when the canoe tipped over she struck a fish.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-12-02

Dana's face flushed unhappily. Il sounded dreadful, the way hel grandmother said that. Cold blooded and material. Like selling yourself for money.
 Mrs. Cameron went to the ward robe and took out a large box Here is your dress" she said. T hope it will be becoming"
 Thank you, Grandmother. Dana took the big box, wondering why she did not feel happier.
 She carried the dress to her room and placed it on the bed Then she went back to the porch. Our dresses have come," she told Nancy.
 Nancy bounded from the swing Why, how could they? I've beer here all morning-oh, see, Grand mother had them. Are they al right?"
 T suppose so," Dana said slowly T haven't tried mine on yet" Nancy smiled. Wasn't I right! The queen in her sitting room counting the empty places in her money box and dealing out favors flor a price!"
 Dana smiled, a little ruefully. Nancy did know her grandmother rather well. All the sweetness and fneness seemed to have been burned out of Grandmother Cam eron with only bitterness and pride left. Yet, somehow, there was something tragic and pathetic about her. It was impossible not to be touched by this bitter revela- tion.
 Tt must be dreadful to be poor, Dana unused unhappily, If you once have had fine and beautiful things, and you hate the common place things of life as she does."
 
 Nancy had put on the new dress Downstairs she could hear sounds of preparation for the party which added to her excitement. Her dark eyes glowed and her hands trembled as she lifted the delicate cloud ot white over her head. There, 1t was on-slipping dowr over her slender young body like sheath, haring out in stiff and smart lines falling to the floor Warm color splashed Nancy's cheeks as she stared at herself irl the mirror.
 She thought happily, "Well, I'm improved! Nobody could possibly deny that. If I could only wear clothes like this all the time, l might have chance" she broke off, unwilling to complete the thought.
 Tonight Ronnie would see her in something beside a make-shift tennis outfit or that old rag of an organdy she'd been wearing for- ever and anon.
 I'm just goose,' Nancy told her image in the glass. "Itis a case of arrested mental develop ment, I suppose. might be only 16, the way I feel"
 But when 8 girl sees herself in the first honest-to-goodness party dress she has ever owned perhaps such excitement is excusable. Nancy thought it was going to be nice to see the surprised look in everyone's eyes.

DELAWARE BAY
 SHIPPING GAINS
Commerce Staging Come back-TOnnage and
 Scrap Iron Rises

Philadelphia, (UP)-Commerce on the Delaware river is staging q comeback. ..t,
 Great ships may lie idle at the docks in many of the nations ports, or ply in and out with holds only half-filled. but cargo tonnage in the Philadelphia area, which includes Trenton and Camden, N. J., and Wilmington, Del. is show- ing a steady increase.
 Freighters from all parts of the world and local vessels daily steam up and down the river and Delaware bay to the ocean. The chcannel depth of 35 feet, pro- vided by constantly working army engineers, allows ships with a 32- foot draft to call at the Port of Philadelphia.
 Waterbone commerce in the Philadelphia area totaled 30,S04,- 134 net tons of cargo in 1884, an increase of one and one-half per cent over 1888, according to the annual report of Lieut.. Col. John c. H. Lee, district army engineer.
 He revealed that the figure was 8 per cent higher than the so- called normal" year of 1926, and only one and one-half per cent lower than in 1880, the all-time high.
 Imports showing increased ton- mage included molasses and sugar. while more iron and steel scrap was shipped on foreign-bound freighters. Coal, coke, petroleum products and vegetable foods in- creased in the coastwise trade.
 Total cargo value for 1884 was Ss75,S39,18s, gain of more than 16 per cent over the previous 12- month period, but more than one- third less than the normal year of 1926.
 Lee reported, however, that these figures are not strictly com parable because of the yearly fluc- tuation in foreign exchanges and commodity prices.

 By Participation in "Wow" Program Wednesday

can be arranged at future date. School days are near and we can not very well arrange a trip this fall, even if health conditions are then safe.
 1t has, therefore, been decided that the jamboree troop shall carry on until conditions arc right and an alternate trip arr ranged for next June, after school is out.
 We are taking steps to obtain permission to use jamboree funds for an alternate program which will be a wow"
 We suggest that you meet dur ing the intervening months at the call of your troop officer so that we all may become better ac- quanted with each other in scout ing. ...
 You may wear your jamboree insignia and new patrol emblems on your uniform in the meantime. Arrangements are made so that If you have not worn or defaced your shirts and shorts by sewing an insignia, etc., you may exchange them, receive due bill, or even a refund If you wish.
 Everything possible is being done in all fairness to ease the sit- uation. You may be assured that the Jamboree committee, your .scoutmaster, and the council Is solidly backing you up and that the Trip which you were to have had will be replaced by one which we will try to make equally enjoy. able and instructive.

FEDERAL FUNDS FINANCE PLANTS
 TO CUT PRICES
President Behind Move to Force Power Companies
 to Slash Rates
By RICHARD l.. FAIRNESS United Press Staff COrresDOndcnt)

(Un1ted I'rcsS Stan COrrcSpOnucnC)
 Washington, Aug. 19. (UP)- President Roosevelt today placed his personal influence behind the New Deals campaign to force public utility companies to reduce electricity rates by using federal funds to finance municipal plants. He made, outright grants totalling $1,650.909 to Iowa City. 1a., and Danville, Va. for construction of publicly owned power systems under the $4,000, ,000,0 work-re- lief fund. -, He departed from official custom in making public two letters to Frank c. Walker in which he in structed the director of national emergency council to inform the mayors of the two cities of his pleasure" in approving the proj- ects. Such correspondence usually is kept secret.
 Would Reduce Rates
 Walker pointed out lin Iowa City's application for the grant it was stated that the proposed muni- cipal system would be able to re- duce rates to all classes of cus- toners and to return substantial profits to the municipality"
 The Danville allotment will ex- tend 8 power system already oper- ated by the public.
 Meanwhile, the public works ad- ministration received more than $75,00O, ,000 in applications for mu- nicipal plants. Administrator Har- old L. Ickes set up a special pow CT division ito consider all power requests and expedite them." Works Progress Administrator Harry l.. Hopkins, who approves all PWA projects before they go to the president for final action, intimated he will give them right of-way through his office.
 Exempt from Exactions
 Work-relief officials, 1t was learned, privately agreed that mu- nicipal power projects shall be ex- empted from job-making and per- man employment stipulations placed on other types of work. The move was necessary, they explained because most of the money spent for power systems must go for heavy equipment and not for la bor. Costs are about the $1,143 per job program average because of heavy costs of materials. In addi- ton to the PWA projects, some

 For two hours, 1t was impris- oned while police refused pleas of scores of residents to be allowed to rip open the mail box and res- cue the animal from possible suf- location.
 Finally, postal authorities were notified. They dispatched an em- ploye who unlocked the box and delivered the kitten safely.

Following the indefinite post ponement of the National Boy Scout jamboree which was to have taken place at Washington, D. C., the local jamboree committee to. day announced plans for one of the most extensive programs that has ever been accorded the scouts in return for the disappointments brought about when President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued his statement in an effort to prevent the spead of infantile paralysis.
 The first activity in which the local scouts will participate Is a corn roast to be he'd at the scohut house of the First Congregational church on Wednesday night. The affair will begin at 6:30 o'clock at which time supper will be served, this to be- followed by campfire get-together at o'clock. The as- sembly will hear the President of the United States in a radio broad cast at S:45 p. m. All scouts have been asked to bring along their song sheets and troop leaders have been requested to file the number of persons with Milton Huffman, scoutmaster of the jamboree troop, in order that ample provisions can be made.
 The statement of the jamboree committee issued today Is as fol- lows; .
 August 19, 1885. To Jamboree Scouts:
 The council and the jamboree committee fully realizes your dis appointment in the cancellation of the Washington trip, however, we could never forgive ourselves If one of you caught or carried in- fantile paralysis.
 We want you to know that we are fully in accord with your ex- pressed desire that. the jamboree troop carry on. It is too fine an outfit to pass out of existence just because the jamboree was called off.
 In the week which has elapsed since the cancellation of the jam boree, we have carefully consid- cred all angles of the situation both locally and nationally. It ap- pears now that the regular Wash ington jamboree will be indefinitely postponed, but we believe that some alternate trip and program
