Branch Hickey, the smartest man in baseball, sold most of his stock in the St. Louis Cardinal or- ganization last fall.
 Rickeys old friend, Scout Char ley Barrett, peddled most of his, also.
 Hickey advised Gene Karst, his wound public relations counsel, to accept similar position with the Cincinnati Reds.
 Hickey believed that the club was to be sold to Lew Wentz, the Oklahoma oil millionaire. He says that last minute hitch prevented the sale and that it was no fault of his. He engineered the deal.
 Hickey doesn't deny that he wants to get out of St. Louis, but his contract with President Sam- uel Breadon has two years to run.
 suspect that their relationship isn't as pleasant as it once was. But B. R. declines to discuss this.
 want to close out my con- tract pleasantly" he says.
 The Cardinals reported at Brad enton, Fla, this spring with one of the finest of their clubs. It is a young club.
 Stars Come From Farms
 In addition to the pitching staff that carried the club to the Ma tional League and world cham pionships last fall, Hickey has four young pitchers, any one of whom he could have sold for $20,000 or more.
 They are Henry Pippen, from Houston, and Ray Harrell, Ed Heuser, and Norbert Kleinke, all from Rochester.
 In addition to these. the Card inals have Pat Malone, whom Hickey believes will be a consist ent winner in St. Louis livery.
 Charley Gelbert is back after a two-year layoff, due to a gunshot wound, but Hickey asserts that both he and Leo Durocher will have tough time beating out Fred Ankenman, a 135-pounder from the University of Texas, who was with Greensboro and Houston last year, for the shortstop posi- ton.
 Don Gutteridge, up from Hous- ton, and Charley Wilson fro mCo- lumbus, are superlative recruit in- nelders. The latter, ambidextrous at the plate, hit .325 for his club in 145 games, which stamps him as no weak sister with the willow.
 
 Another Columbus recruit tick eted for stardom by Hickey is Ter ry Moore, a 21-year-old outfielder, whose only weakness, as Hickey jokingly puts it. is that he can't catch fouls from his position In center field.
 The youngster is a certain bet to replace Ernie Orsatti in the middle pasture as, in addition to being whiz afield, he tunked the turnip for 1928 mark in 131 American Association games last year.
 And so we find that the far flung Card firm system is bear

He said the public was entitled to all the de- tails" The records are of alleged telephone conversations between Mrs Vallee. while she was living with her husband, and an Adagio dancer. They are spicy.
 Justice Cotillo was embarrassed by the case that has been assigned to him. Announcing that his court room was notIo be converted into a "Hippodrome," he ruled the pub. lie would not be admitted to any session. The press, however, will remain.
 So far the dark-eyed, fragile Mrs Valiee has indicated she is inter- ested only in the crooner's wealth insofar as its relates to increasing q $100 q week separation agree ment she contends was foisted up- on her by fraud. But her attorneys are said to be holding other evil dence of "a sensational nature" in abeyance.
 Rudy is determined to resist all efforts to prove he pleaded pov. erty when the agreement was are ranged allegedly concealing an in- come several times that of the president of the United States. He showed this determination in the jut of his jaw as he strode Into court while stenographers in the corridors sighed.
 Supreme court Justice Salvatore A. Cotillo asked counsel for both sides to state the case.
 Almost Immediately intriguing telephone conversations allegedly between Gary Leon, handsome ad- agio dancer, and Mrs Vailee and recorded by Vailee on an extension. were brought into the dispute.
 "Mr Valiee." said his attorney. Hyman Bushel. twas surprised and astonished at the records of her voice. He didn't want to pay her twenty-five cents because she is the most disioyal woman alive" | Former State Senator Thomas I Sheridan. of counsel for Mrs vai- lee said the $100 week agree. ment twas clearly inadequate in view of the huge sums that MT vaIlee derives from his role as a public entertainer. The truth is that the agreement was obtained from Mrs Valiee by means of tricks and artifces.

 Rudy gave his occupation as Orchestra director, singer, master of ceremonies at a night club, and producer of a broadcast" He said he got $2,860 for his weekly broadcast and from $5,500 to $7.500 week at the night club, but explained his band had to be paid out of that sum.

CARLSTROM HAS
 BEEN IDENTIFIED
(continued from Page 1.)


 .Carlstrom lived in this city until last April. when he went to Long Island to take Q job which he had held once before. and he still has relatives here. Immediately after he testified in defense of Haupt- mann last week, the local detec. tive bureau was asked by New Jersey police to check on his rec ord but reported that he had never been arrested here.
 The New Britain Herald last night reported that police of that city had received letter in which Berman was quoted as having positively identified Carlstrom as one of the two men who had held him up five or six years ago. The letter was from the Elizabeth police, who interviewed Berman after he had been overheard by another man declaring that he had recognized Caristrom as the hoidup man from his pictures.
 Mrs Sadie Edelson, owner of the store which was robbed, recalled the hoIdup yesterday. but was un- able to recall anything about the men who had performed 1t. Ber- man, she said, had married few years ago and then went to New Jersey tollve.
 Taking the stand last week. carlstrom testified that on the night of the Kidnapping Of the Lind. berg baby. he had seen Hauptmann in a Bronx bakery shop. He re. called the night, he said, because 1t was his birthday and Hauptmann, laughed at him when he ordered food in broken English.
 The state sought to digcredit ms testimony during prolonged cross examination. It las since been ID, dicated that Attorney Generli David Wiicntz will bring forward rebuttai witnesses in an effort to show that Carlstrom was not in New York on March 1, 1892.

 The governor suggested a special commission appointed by himsef, with approval of the gen. eral assembly, to be non-partisan and similar to the makeup of the special tax study group, to study and make recommendations".
 Since the work would involve much time and effort, he said, 1t may have to be reported to~ a special session of the legislature" ' The committee would have five members andwork would com mence immediately.
 His recommendation for "imme- diate establishment of 8 merit sys- tenn, such as was abolished f5 years ago." drew much comment from the senators who were not prepared for this patronage b1ock- ing stipulation.
 The deficiency bill was approved by the senate and sent to the en- crossing clerk. It will be signed by the governor during the week.
 Several items fin the bill, such hs increases for the attorney gen- erals office and salary increases were questioned but satisfact ctorily explained by Sen Kenneth s. Ora. mer, chairman of the appropria tons committee.
 Both senate and house adjourned q after brief session. The house took under advisement appoint ment of tercentenary commis- sion of five, recommended by the governor.

BEDTIME STORY By THORNTON w. BURGESS

Wren were, for he knew that most of the worms and caterpillars and bugs with which they fed their babies were very harmful to plants and trees.
 Needless to say, Jenny was short CT tempered than ever. She had no time to gossip and said so most emphatically. Nor did Mir. Wren have time to sing. Of course they had to rest once in a while, but it was never for very long time. Whenever she did stop to rest, Jen. ny looked worried. She had the care of that big family on her mind every minute.
 So at last Peter gave up the idea of trying to find out from her cer. tain things he wanted to know and hopped off to look for some one who was less busy. He had gone but short distance when his at. tention was caught by a song so sweet and so full of little trllls that he first stopped to listen and then hurried to look for the singer.

BURNING THE BOOKS

I HAVE just come across an old | Roman legend relating how the Cumaean sibyl offered Tarquln the Proud nine books-at a price. Tar. quin refused them
 The sibyl burned three of the books-and offered him the remain. ing six. But the price was the same! Naturally he laughed at her.
 Then she burned three more and offered him the remainder at the same price she had asked for the nine. This time he paid the price
 And, of course-or there would be no story !-the books were found tC be vitally important mines of in formation on Roman policy, which he sorely needed, and the most val uable were those that had been de stroyed.
 1 shall preach no moral on lost opportunities. But that ancient story does point right at so many people we know in this modern day, who fail to value things until they be come hard to get, until, like the books offered to Tarquln, their price has gone up.
 It Is not only the material things about which we sometimes show such distorted sense of values. am thinking more O.. matters of in. terest. friendship, love.
 People offer us their friendship and we sometimes wonder what they want of us-or pass up that offer that is made so freely that 1t seems cheap. Sometimes second thought or vagrant inspiration impels us to pick up that thread; and we may find that what we thought cheap was generosity undervaued-until something of it was destroyed.
 There are many things In life about which 1t Is costly to be casual, or careless. or arrogant. as was that ancient ruler about books which held the answer to his needs. Things are not always valuable or impor. tant in proportion to how high their price or how easily they are within our reach.

The Bark of the Tree

If the bark did not grow on tho tree the tree would not grow. In the first place, the bark does one or two things which are useful but not very important. The outside of 1t Is usually pretty tough, and has become more or less dead (like the outside of our skin), so that things do not hurt 1t, and It protects the living part of the tree inside. The Inside of the bark Is the most liv- ing part of the tree, we may say; 1t actually makes the tree. All the growth of the tree In thickness Is due so the making of the wood, and it is the soft living part of the inside of the bark that has made all the hardest wood of the biggest and hardest tree-trunk. Also, there are channels in the bark through which the sap of the tree runs, in much the same way as the blood runs In our blood-vessels.

With Seven Gaping Mouths You Can Imagine How Busy the Wrens Were.

enough to see, Jenny and Mir. Wren began to feed those always hungry babies, and with hardly time for an occasional mouthful themselves they kept at 1t until the Black Shadows came out from the Purple Hills. Wren babies, like all other bird ba- bies, grow very fas and this means that each one of them must have a great deal of food every day. A Wren baby often eats its own weight in food In a day, and all this food has to be hunted for and car ried back and put Into the gaping little mouths.
 With seven such gaping little mouths you can imagine how busy the Wrens were. Hardly would Jenny disappear in the little round doorway of her home with a cater pillar in her bill than she would pop out again and MT. Wren would take her place with spider or a fly. Then both would hurry away for something more.
 Peter tried to keep count of the number of times they came and went but soon gave 1t up as a bad job. He began to wonder where all the worms and bugs and spiders came from and gradually he came to have great deal of respect for eyes sharp enough to find them so quickly. He began, too to under stand how useful Jenny and Mir.
