The days were growing longer ov-
err Wolfpen Hollows. Cynthia spoke
about it, watching the long shad-
ows going before the blaze of sun
into the timber earlier in the morn
ing, and coming out later in the aft
ernoon. She was in the fields for
the planting. She loved to sense
the changing moods of day from
the cool vigor of the early morning,
through the slowed pace under the
! hot sun of noon, then the ebb and
drowsiness of the first hour after
dinner, the dreamy relaxation and
fatigue in the afternoon, the tired
| JOY of the end Of day.
She liked best the long silence
| of the afternoon when the teams
were scattered with her menfolk
among the fields, near enough to
be seen, far enough not to affect
the moment around her. Then there
was a whispering in the timber
on one slope Of the hollow, and an
answering rustic from the opposite
hillside She thought Of what the
trees were saying and saw that
the shadows which came silently
out Of the woods and hurried
across the bottoms were the fingers
| of tulip trees which would soon be
scattering honey-sweet brown dust
from their bursting hearts core.
The mood was different when she
worked with some one, and at it's
best when she helped Jesse set out
the sweet-potato plants.
They went to the hotbeds near
the patch. They carefully pulled off
the sturdy sprouts for planting and
laid them roots down in shallow
basket. Then Cynthia dropped them
at ten-inch intervals on the top Of
the ridge, and poured gourd Of
water on their roots in the hole
Jesse had made with his long fin
gers.
Cynthia filled the process with a
delicate mystery, imagining that
she was taking live people from
dark beds where they were crowd
ing one another to death, in the
great cities she had read about, and
giving them space to breathe in the
sunlight and place for their roots

appropriation, which would make
available about $4,000 600 year from
the total budget for schools. An in
crease of $3,00O,OC a year for schools
would bring the total school approp-
ration up to almost $24, 100000 year

are also eyDecteC to seek more than

year is coming from the sales tax.
Both Mr. .Hoey and the Democratic
platform are pledged to restore the
sales tax exemptions, removing the
sales tax from essential foods, with
the result that this will reduce the
States income by at least $3,O00,0O a
year. This will leave an expectancy of
only $28, 100000 a year under the pre-
sent revenue bill, although the mini

LONDON, February s.-The wall of
bagpipes over the border in Scotland,
mourning the death of King George
v, has become mingled with the pro-
tests of Scottish patriots who feel
that their historic rights have been
overlooked again.
The new King. Edward VIII, they
say, is not the eighth at all-he is
Edward II.
Under the treaty of union in 1707.
whereby Scotland finally joined the
'auld enemy across the Cheviot hills,
prime condition of the treaty was
that it should be a real union-not
merely an absorption of Scotland by
England.
Thus it was that when James VI of
Scotland went to London to become
sovereign of the United Kingdom he
became James of Great Britain.
BY the same token, it Is contended
by Scotsmen, when Queen Victoria
died and the present Kings grand
father, Edward VII, came to the
throne, he Should" have been styled
Edward I-despite the fact that be-
fore the union there had been six
previous Kings of England named Ed
ward.

clans, Highlanders and Lowlanders

Edward is not insular. Recently an
English newspaper man took the
trouble to compute the total mileage
Travelled by the new King. The sum
total of Edwards travelings is 250,000
miles, covering practically every coun-
try on the five continents.
Edward VIII feels that he will not
terminate his reign without his coun-
try being involved in another war.
But he wants to postpone the evil
moment and will do his best to prevent
Great Britain from lighting the fuse
which will set the world on fire.

Although the will of the King Of
England is never published and does
not need to be probated, it is known
now that the late King George left the
smallest estate of any British sovereign
for several reignS.
Probably because the new King is a
bachelor, his civil list will be con-
siderably smaller than that Of his
father.
Ine question OF manQaLed lSldnOS Is
likely to be brought into the limelight
again shortly.
Admiral Takahashi has announced
that, because of the danger of Amer
ica's naval expansion, the inundated
islands will have TO be fortified.
As a matter OF fact. those islands
OF the archipelaooes which lend
themselves as naval or air bases
hare been fortified since 1880. The
matter ,uds discussed three years
ago at the League OF Nations, but
nobody could furnish any definite
proofs that they tDere fortified, be-
cause the japanese naudl authori-
ties do not permit foreigners to
come near the islands.
But now that the news of their for
tifications is being given out officially
it is likely that the Toxic government
will be less strict with the visiting
permits.

he will combat smoke and SCOT in the
Nations Capital with ideas and

The District Of Columbia has no

The small heating plants in apart

cause of their numbers and the fact
they have a lower combustion eff
cheney than industrial plants" he
said.

THE people who live in Washing

civic minded than in other cities, and
more apt to cooperate. They are
proud of the fine buildings and want

Education is the most effective
weapon against violators. 1t is neces-
sary to be able to talk with owners
and show them ideas for saving costs
