For The Want of a Horse
Johnny Donohue has lost a horse.
AT least, he lost a pony, and-to
Johnny-that's worse. The tiny
Shetland pony which seemingly dis
appeared into thin air was the pride
and JOY of the Donohue family, anG
the marvel of all who saw it. The
midget equine is so tiny he can be
carried in the rear seat of an auto
mobile without trouble to himself
or anyone else. When the loss was
first discovered, Johnny and his
family searched high, low and in
I?etween. They looked in every
place the pony could possibly be,
until Mrs. Donohue Strengthened up
with a sigh.

only one place we haven't looked"

can't imagine how or why but
that's his story The truth is, he
was deputy city attorney in Los

of the political job and into pri-

BOARD SUGGESTED
70 SETTLE DISPUTES
MonguI-M Body May
Deal With Border Incidents.

By United Press
MOSCOW, March Is. - Outer
Mongolia and Manchukuo have
agreed to set up joint commission
to settle border disputes according
to reports received today from Ulan
Bator (Urga), Monaghan capital
The Manchukuoan foreign minis
try, the reports said, has sent For
eign Minister Gendun a note &C
cepting proposals for organization
of a mixed Mongol- Manchu board
to deal with frontier incidents. The
Manchukuoan note asked what ques-
lions the Monaghan government
wished to eptruSt to such commits
sion and where the commission
should meet.
Gendun replied that the Mon
golian government considered the
basic task for the commission would
first concern the circumstances and
causes of the armed clash Feb. IL
at Bulun Dersu, Monaghan border
point. In this clash, according to
Monaghan charges, 500 Japanese
and Manchukuoan troops crossed
the Monaghan border, engaged in
a skirmish with lesser number of
Monaghan border guards and drove
them several miles into the in
terror.
The monaghan note emphasized
that if the commission settles the
Feb. IL incident successfully, it
would be desirable to have it con-
slider other incidents and clashes
which have taken place in 1885 and
1896. Methods to be used in pre-
venting future trouble along the
borders also might be considered by
the commission, the Monaghan reply
suggested.
