ROCKVILLE. Md, August "a
Two weeks grace will be allowed resi-
dents of Montgomery County before
interest charges are applied to their
tax bills this year, County Treasurer
j. Forest Walker announced today.
Interest ordinarily is assessed
against delinquent accounts on Sep
TENDER 1. but the additional charge
will not be applied until September IS
this year as result of Walkers de-
cision.
The treasurer said the two weeks
grace will be allowed because of the
delay in mailing out the tax bills
caused by the thousands of new &C
counts which Walkers Office has been
called upon to handle.
He attributed the increased number
of accounts primarily to the building
boom which Montgomery County has
been enjoying recently, the greatest
boom since the suburban area under
went intensive development eight
years ago.
Walker declared that approximately
$4,000 bills are to be mailed out,
10000 of which have been finished.
He said the remainder would 60 for

Into Discrepancy From
Farm to Consumer.

certain today.
Congressional action on a resolution
calling for such an inquiry was COM
pleted yesterday and hackers Of the
move predicted President Roosevelt
would sign it promptly.
Scope Of Probe.
The measure would direct the Fed
eral Trade Commission to find out not
only why the farmer does not get
larger part of the consumers dollar,
but also whether middlemen are max
ing exorbitant profits on watered stock,
fostering monopolies, fixing prices and
using fraudulent grading and ware
housing methods.
A. A. A. officials were understood to
be in favor of the investigation. Re-
Gently delegation of Detroit house
wives, who are striking against high
meat prices, blamed the high prices
on the A. A. A. adjustment program
and demanded that the Farm Admin
iStration take some action.
Demonstrations Threatened.

resolution yesterday, Representative
Dingell, Democrat, of Detroit said the
demonstrations in that city could be

-dOOLy the OWl.
~ RICHLY PORKY'S half-grown
- son proved too much of a
temptation for Hooty the Owl
Il to resist. Hooty was hungry.
He had been hungry for quite some
time. for hunting had been very poor.
That half-grown Porcupine would
make tender good eating and would
be very filling, yet Hooty knew that
the wise thing to do would be to leave
him alone. Yes, sir, that would be
the wise thing to do.
But often wisdom goes out when
hunger enters. What Hooty should
have done was to have flown away
and remained away. Instead of that,
he kept coming back for another look
at that young Porcupine, and every
time the temptation grew stronger.
When at last Hooty saw that the
young Porcupine appeared to be
doing he made up his mind that he
would get that fellow, no matter what
happened.
Now, you know, young Porcupine
Is just as well protected by quilts as
an old Porcupine. The quilts may not
be quite as long, but they are just as
sharp. This Porcupine was half
grown, and his quilts were long enough
to make plenty of trouble for whoever
should get against them. To have
seen him sitting there close to the
. trunk Of the tree, you would have
thought him the most harmless and
helpless little person in all the Great
World. You see, those quilts, ex-
cepting the short ones on his tail,
didn't show. The others were hidden
In the long hair of his coat. The very
fact that they were so hidden, and so
out of Hooty's sight, increased the
temptation for Hooty.
Hooty studied the situation. There
was Just one approach by which he
could hope to strike and clutch that
young Porcupine. In every other
direction there were branches in the
way. Twice Hooty started to make
the attempt, and twice he settled
back without doing it. He would wait
for the young Porcupine to move and
expose himself. So he waited. He
waited and waited and waited, and
the temptation grew and grew and
grew. At last it was to be resisted
no longer.
"Tfat fellow is asleep" muttered
Hooty. Nov is my chance. He'll
never know what hit him"
Hooty swooped, his legs reaching
down SO as to clutch that Porcupine
with his great curved claws. Some
thing happened. Yes, sir, something
happened. To this day Hooty hardly
knows how 1t did happek. Porcupines

are very slow in their movements,
always excepting the way in which
they can flip their tails around. That
half-grown Porcupne was not asleep.
His eyes may have been as dull as
they looked, but they were keen
enough to see Hooty. In fact, they
had been watching Hooty for some
time, and that was one reason why
the young Porcupine had not changed
his position. He knew that where he
was he would be hard to get at. SO
now, when Hooty swooped, the young
Porcupine was prepared.
Biff! That rather broad tail Of the
Porcupine had struck the leg and
thigh nearest him before Hooty had
realized what was happening. A dozen
