WASHINGTON, June 6.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt started it. He
quoted Sen. William E. Borah in
his veto message to congress.
Borah came back in his address
on the NRA situation. He quoted
President Roosevelt, defending state
rights at the time he Was governor
of New York.
Here's their reported converSa-
ton on meeting at the White House
for the first time since the exchange
began:
'Mr. Roosevelt: Hello, Bill. We're
having a fine time, aren't we? I'm
quoting you and you are quoting
me-"
Borah: That makes each OF us
right part of the time"
The signal corps is the latest
government unit to contribute to
the growing collection OF official
animal and bird lore.
This time it's a pigeon named
John Silver.
John is II years old and the sig
nal corps bulletin, a Staid publica-
ton devoted to technical informa-
ton on signal methods and appar-
atus, has devoted a full page to his
life. And no wonder.
John Silver is II years old. He
was born in January, 1918, behind
the front lines in France. The sig
nal corps trained him and as soon
as he was old enough he went into
service, flying messages during the
Mousse -Argonne campaign.
During a battle, John was wound
ed, had his right leg shot off, in
fact. He managed to reach the sig
nal corps station, however. AS a
result of his wound, John was re-
tired from active service.
The corps planned to use the bird
for breeding purposes and finallv
sent him TO the 18th signal corps
station at Hawaii. But John Sill
yer hasn't been of much benefit to
the corps in the years since the
Mousse -Argonne. He has been a
complete and confirmed bachelor.
Pigeon experts introduced him
To the pretties and fanciest pigeons
in the corps. Always, the story
was the same. Silver was a bach
elor and there was every indication
that he would be one to the end OF
his days.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
FUNNY TAIL

One day when the Fox and the
Wolf went to call on the Bob Cat
in his woodland den, they found
that Bad Chap holding a feather
duSter.
"You are rather late with your
spring cleaning, aren't you?" asked
the Fox.
I'm not doing my spring clean
ing" mewed the Bob Cat.
What are you doing, then?" ask
ed the Wolf.
Il am making a trap to catch
Uncle Wiggily," mewed the Bob
Cat.
WHAT With a feather duster
made Of turkey feathers?" asked
the Fox. Don't be sillyl You'll
never catch Uncle Wiggily that
way"
Don't so sure of that" laughed
the Bob Cat. You said this feath-
er duster, which I found in the
woods, was made Of turkey feathers,
didn't you, Mr.. Fox?"
"Yes, I did and so it is. It's
made from the tail feathers"
Right mewed the Bob Cat.
"And this feather duster is going
to become my tail for while"
Goodness knows you need some
sort of a tall" laughed the Wolf,
''for your own, silly little one isn't
larger than babys thumb" ;"
Don't make fun of my tall"
Snarled the Bob Cat. Il can't
help it. Maybe you won't laugh so
much when you find have caught
Uncle Wiggily by this feather dus-
ter which I am going to pretend is
a tail.
How are you going to 90 it?"
asked the Fox.
Like thisl Watch mel" mewed
the Bob Cat. Taking the feather

the Bob Cat.

Wolf.

peal. Sometimes when he goes to
the theatre he dismisses his car at
the corner.
His concession to sartorial sWank
is a dinner jacket with soft shirt
with collar attached. He is 'tull
dress atheist" and a silk hat IS
anathema. A pudgy gentleman, he
has difficulty in fitting himself to
a chair and is in constant squirm
when seated, which gives the sug-
gestion of nervousness.
The Mayors lightning temper IS
magnificent to behold. In fierce
" dark glover he storms about IN
exquisite rage failing his arms
and stamping his feet. just as
quickly smile illuminates his
countenance and the tantrum van
ishes. He likes too to indulge a self
martrydom pout now and then.
Nobody can accuse him OF laz-
ness. No one in his cabinet works
so hard. Almost his sole relaxation
is music-especially the opera and
symphony. A thoroughgoing hus-
band he goes fe wplaces without
his wife. When he retires from
politics he will spend declining
wears in Prescott Ariz.. his birth
