VIEWS PUBL|C|zED
Gov. Henry Horner Praises
Community Method
of Funding.

Highlights from the address OF the
Governor of Illinois before the State
Building and Loan Convention were
distributed to leaders in the Nations
building and loan business this week
BY Ward B. Whitlock, past president
OF the United States Building and
Loan League and executive of the
Illinois organization. Gov. Henry
Horner's references to his own expert
ences with the community method of
bringing funds into the home financing
field were q background for his state
ment that the usefulness of the build
ing and loan associations is now more
apparent than at any other time in
recent years.
Early in his address, the States chief
executive disclosed that the first thou
sand dollars he had saved was saved in
q building and loan association" and
that as an attorney, prior to his elec-
ton as judge Of the Cook County Pro-
bate Court, he had handled the legal
details in organizing several such con-
Germs. and by such was familiar with
the fair and splendid policies that gov
erned their operation.
Gov. Horner discussed briefly the
new building and loan act and in this
connection referred to the cooperation
Of the managers of the building and
loan associations Of the State.
The Governor paid q tribute to the
building and loan associations, assert
ing: "You are doing q very fine and
very necessary job. Your business is
An essential part of the financial struc-
ture Of the Nation"
The Governor pointed out that the
wider use Of the facilities of Federal
loaning agencies, particularly the
Home Loan Bank, have had the effect
OF minimizing any losses occasioned by
the depression or stopping their spread.
Your business is built entirely on
eonfidence and brighter day is dawn
ing for your associations as well as the
home owner" Gov. Horner declares.
"Your usefulness at this time rs q
medium for the acquisition Of homes
FOR our citizens Is more apparent than
at any other time in recent years.
THE law governing associations is
your law. The methods Of enforce
nlent and supervision of associations
are designed to assist you in the con-
duct Of worthy and worthwhile en-
terprise. That policy Of cooperation
will be adhered to. so far as it is con-
sistent with the requirements of safety
to the general public. II this new law
does not prove workable for both you
and your members. we will give you
one that is"

Browns Boy became all tenderness.
With the greatest Of care he lifted
that stone from Peters leg. Then
very, very gently he felt Of that leg,
to see II the bone was broken. Fortu-
nately 1t wasn't.
Poor Peter" said Farmer Browns
Boy. soothingly, as he stroked Peter.
"WeIl take you up to the house and
have . better look at that leg. won-
der how long you've been here. 1t Is
. wonder that Reddy Fox didn't find
you. I'll keep you for . day or two
and see how that leg is coming along.
and then I'll take you back to the
dear Old Briar-patch."
So Peter was taken up to the barn
and made comfortable in a big box.
He was given plenty to eat, and right
away he felt better. Two days later
he was taken back to the dear Old
Briar-patch and given his liberty.
That leg was still stif1. but In time he
would get the use of it. So ended
one OF Peters worst adventures.

TT WAS once more quiet along the
Old Stonewall. Farmer Browns
Boy had called Bowser the
L Hound and Flip the Terrier back
to the house and told them not to
leave the dooryard again. Then he
had gone back to the barn to finish
the chores he was doing. Johnny
Churck once more came out and sal

Peter had been . prisoner there
since the day before. In all that time
he had had nothing to eat. He wal
feeling faint. He also was feeling very
much in despair. What would the END
be? He tried not to wonder about
that. but he couldn't help 1t. II hi
didn't starve to death FIRST some enemy
would sooner or later find him and
put an end to him. He felt sure OF
it. He had given up all hope Of get
ting free. His friends still continued
to visit him and tried to cheer him
up, but without much success.
However, II Peter had given up hope
some of his friends had not. They
were still trying to find some way to
help him. Several pairs of bright eye.

Boy to come out Of the barn again
Sammy Jay saw him the instant he
stepped outside the door, and Sammy
began to scream. There is no better
screamer than Sammy Jay. When
Sammy wants to be heard he is going
to be heard. Instantly the other fea-
thered folk in the Old Orchard began
to scream. They knew what Sammy
was trying to do. and they were try
ing to help. There was quite q racket.
Yes. sir, there was quite q racket over
there in the Old Orchard Farmer
Browns Boy paused to look over there.
Now, what are those birds making
such fuss about? They seem to be
over near the edge Of the Old Orchard.
It must be that they have discovered
Snake. Yes. sir, that must be It,"
He took q few steps toward the
house, and Immediately there was such
an outcry that he stopped again. He
hesitated a moment or two, and then
started over toward the Old Orchard
Il may rs well find out what 1t Is all
about" he said. Birds don't make
such a fuss over nothing. Perhaps II
isn't a snake. after all. Perhaps one
Of their number has been caught by
some one else"
He entered the Old Orchard and

moved toward the Old Stonewall. All
the feathered folk were fitting from
twig to twig among the brushes along
the Old Stonewsll. and all kept up
their screaming. As Farmer Browns
Boy approached they moved along the
Old Stonewall. Finally they all re-
manned about in one place, and Farmer
Browns Boy decided that whoever it
was they were making such . fuss
about probably was In the old wall
right there.
He headed straight for the spot.
At frst he did not see Peter Rabbit.
He wasn't looking for any one like
Peter, but presently he discovered
Peter and at . glance he saw what
the trouble was. At once Farmer

COLLECTORS OF
 STAMPS FAILED

Washington, Feb 5-(UP)-The house today shattered hopes of stamp collectors and republicans for investigation of Postmaster James A. Farley's gift of special stamps with reported potential value of $5OO,000. An investigation resolution by Rep Charles D. Mil lard, r, N. Y, was killed when the house adopted a motion to table by Chairman James U. Mead, d, N. r., of the postofiice committee. The reslution was defeated 275 to 1O1 on a roll call vote. Democratic leaders, took extraordinary precau- tions to assure quashing of the pro- posed inquiry. Before the house convened, every democrat was called and urged to be on hand when the resolution was taken up. Nearly all responded.
 Stamp collectors have been greatly exercised over Farley's ac- ton in presenting to President Roosevelt, Secretary of Interior Harold l.. Ickes and others special sheets of new stamp issues. Farley maid face value for the stamps. but he obtained them before they had been gummed or perforated. rms made them great rarities, hlghiy przed by collectors. Willard said one three-cent stamp from sheet given away by Farley had not into the hands of q dealer and been so.d for S2,5OO. He said all the sheets presented by Farley to associates had a potential value or $ooo'ooV.

 BLAZE TO-DAY
Three Family Building of GOtIieb SOnntag Is
 Badly Damaged

Damage of several hundred dol lars was done late this morning when fire broke out in the three- family building at 82-S4 Highland avenue. The building, owned by Gottlieb Sonntag of Falls avenue, Oakville, is occupied by the fam- ilies of Edward l.. Pierce, James Miller. and Raymond Demers.
 The fire started in a divan in the Demers apartment, on the second floor, and was discovered by Mrs Demers. She rushed downstairs and telephoned in the alarm. Three companies of firemen responded and were directed in battling the blaze by Acting Deputy Martin Campion.
 The fire in the Demers apart ment was confined to one room, where damage of about $150 was done. The two other apartments suffered smoke and water damage. Fire Marshal Dennis Lahey esti- mated the total damage as less than $500.
 Though members of the famiiy said that no one had been smok- ing in the room where the fire broke out, investigation by the fire marshals staff ascribed the blaze to a discarded cigaret butt.

DRIVER OF MAIL TRUCK TOO FAST
 FOR ROBBERS
Held Up By Bandits He
 Shot Truck Into Them and Fled

North Smithfield, K. l., Feb 5---
 (UP)-Three highwaymen. wear- ing orange-colored masks, attempts ed to hold up a U. s. mail truck here today but were frustrated when the driver stepped on the accelerator. ran down one of the bandits. and sped away. North Smithfield is only 23 miles from Fall River. Mass, where less than a fortnight ago five bandits held up another mail truck, kidnapped the driver, and escaped with $123.- 900 in cash. Those robbers are still at large, and federal authors ties believe today's abortive hold- up was the work of the same gang.
 Harry Stevens was driving alone from Providence to Pascoag with several thousand dollars to meet mill payrolls in that town, Nason- vile and Saltwater. this morning. when he was waylaid on the Far. mum Pike. A black automobile either a Chevrolet or Plymouth. passed him and stopped q short distance ahead. There were three men in the car. One clambered ou.. He held a revolver in one hand and with his other hand he signal- lcu TUT otCNSDS otcP' h'tSNNhAS sterped on the accelerator and ralk down the bandit. apparently in- turing him seriously.
 So busy were the other two highwaymen in ministering 10 their injured companion that they fired no shots as the truck sped from the scene. Stevens said he looked back and saw the other two men lifting the injured bandit into the car. The highwaymen then drove off toward Woonsocket. On reach- ing Nasonville Stevens reported the frustrated holdup to the police and a statewide search was in- stituted. Meanwhile authorities notified hospitals and doctors to watch for any applicant for treat- ment who answered the injured bandits description.
 The mail truck driver described the man he ran down as about 6 feet, s inches tall, full-faced. and wearing a blue overcoat. He did not see enough of the other two to enable him to describe them.

DRUNKEN ROBINS
 CHASE THE CATS

Daytona Beach, Fla, Feb 5-(U P)--Drunken robins drove pet cats to cover here today, chirping the while something that sounded very much like "Whoops My Dear" The birds had partaken Of Dayton's Palmetto tree berries, which had fermented. There was much perceptible teetering on branches, and a general all around alcoholic bravado in the air. In January the berries of the many Palmetto trees ripen and by Feb ruary they have fermented.
 The bumper crop and the large number of robins. driven south by the winter, have made the whoop- pee activities of the birds more noticeable than ever this year. Po- lice and county officers character ized the birds antics as the great est display of alcoholism ever wit messed here. Citizens joined them in having good. laugh. The ber- ries cause the most incorporate birds to flutter around in drunk en manner. Some teeter around on the ground, wobbling from side 10 side.

CARLSTROM WAS IDENTIFIED AS
 STORE ROBBER
Former New Britain Man Says He Helped Rob
 Him 6 Years Ago

New Britain police charge that Ebert Carlstrom, former Water. burian who last week was sur- prise alibi witness for Bruno Rich- ard Hauptmann, has been identi- fled by former resident of that city as one of two highwaymen who six years ago held him up in a store and robbed him of $6. The identification was made, according to New Britain and Hartford pa pers, by Hyman German, 26, now of Elizabeth, N. J., who claims that he recognized Carlstrom from his pictures as one of the duo who menaced him with a gun while he was acting as a clerk in 8 store on Arch street, New Britain and departed with $6.
 Chief W. c. Hart of the New Britain police notified Acting Chief Frank Brennan of the Elizabeth police department, who forwarded the information allegedly linking Carlstrom with the holdup. that the statute of limitations makes 1t impossible to bring Carlstrom to this state to face the holdup charge. Connecticut law makes 1t necessary for crime to be charged to a suspect within five years af- ter the time it was committed.
