There is a pleasant little bar or side street on the east side ot town. It is a small bar but it ]. cozy and people like to go there for quiet bit of refreshment before wandering off to bed.
 One night last week I wandered in there with Jimmy Wellington, the radio announcer who was ln New York for a bit of a vacation. It was his last night in the city. As we sat down we noticed a woman at the bar l imagine she was 30. She was the only girl in the place
 We sat and talked for awhile and then a man came in by him. selm. The woman looked up. She looked away quickly and got up and walked down to the end Of the bar and whispered something tc the bartender. The man, mean while, ordered drink. He shot q furtive glance at the woman. He followed this with a brief, though sweeping, glance, as if he were taking in" the place. He wanted to see who was there. He may have been looking for doors and exits.
 Meanwhile the bar captain was mumbling something into tele- l phone. Then. casually enough, he sauntered down to where the stran- ger stood. Perhaps he mixed him a drink. I don't recall
 But remember this: in about two minutes two detectives walked into the bar. They walked over to the woman, spoke to her, and al three walked out together. Later we learned that she wa. afraid of this man, the stranger, 1 for at one time he used to be her husband. The cops wanted to take her to the station house, so that nothing would happen to her, put she said she was all right now. She would be safe, she felt. So they left j her alone and she went home py herself.
 And that's about all anyone knows of the story. The inside facts of the story, I mean.
 But the next day, when I saw Jimmy Wellington again, he said
 Remember last night? Remem- Der that girl at the bar? And the cops?"
 T saw a paragraph in the paper about a man and woman being injured in a fight. Were they the ones?"
 That's right replied Walllng- ton, but that paragraph didn't go

If additional funds are needed to op-

means" is to be desired In place of
the present taxation measures which
the House District Subcommittee on

at least another year.
The association passed two other mo-

The Government climaxed its re-

the introduction of the so-called "Sus

Chicago, division manager of the Sin

major oil company representatives at

This memorandum formed a basis
for the Governments charge that IS
major oil companies rugged the Mid

1885 and 1896 by controlling only
about 2 per cent of the gasoline sold
in this area.
The Sus statement, as read to the
Jury, said in part that the major oil

WISCONSIN JUDGE
JOINS COURT LIST
Evan Evans Mentioned as
Possible Successor to
Justice Sutherland.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Federal Circuit Judge Evan Evans
OF Wisconsin received mention today
In Capital speculation over the sue
cessor to Justice George Sutherland.
Other circuit judges. including for
mer Senator Samuel Bratton of New
Mexico and Miss Florence Allen of
Ohio. have been suggested previously.
Associate Justice Harold M. Stephens
Of the District of Columbia Court of
Appeals also was being discussed as q
possibility.
Reports circulated in the Senate
that President Roosevelt has received
one more notice Of approaching re-
tirement and that third might soon
be forthcoming.
Some observers said Justice Bran
deis. oldest member on the court was
on the verge Of retiring. but some Of
his closest friends gave little credence
to the report.
There also were reports that Justice
Cardozo. now seriously i'll. had told
friends he wanted to get of the bench.
Some Senators said it would be
easier for the President to meet geo.
graphical considerations IL he had two
or three nominations to make instead
of one. Under present conditions,
they said. there would be strong de-
mands that he name Westerner.
Gov. Henry Horner of Illinois was
mentioned in some quarters as a
possible appointee. largely on the
basis Of word that he had been asked
to confer with the President next
week
Either Judge Evans or Gov. Horner,
coming from the seventh judicial cir
cult, would fit into the geographical
picture. That circuit now has no
member on the court
Still prominent in the speculation
for Justice Sutherland's post were

administrator, and Stanley F. Reed.

Frank Murphy Of Michigan, another
who had been mentioned, said he was
not likely to be chosen.

heels at the, first hint of danger and
| often when there is no danger, not
waiting to find out. Both are re-
| garded with scorn by some of their
neighbors. who mistake timidity for
cowardliness. Both Peter and Jumper
are timid. extremely timid: but that
doesn't mean that they are towards.
II they were not timid-well, there
wouldn't be any Peter in the dear Old
Briar-patch. and there wouldn't be
any Jumper in the Green Forest today.
The first law Of life is to preserve
it," said Peter sagely, as from the
middle of bramble-tangle he looked
up at Sammy Jay. 1T was in obedi-
ence to that law that I ran instantly
/ when I heard you scream. That
young Rabbit whom you saw carried
of by Terror the Goshawk didn't.
He waited to see what the danger
might be, and when he saw it, it was
too late. That is a mistake I never
have made"
III you had you wouldn't be here
now" said Sammy with chuckle.
I'm glad you get my meaning"
retorted Peter Il know what you
think" he added.
What do I think?" demanded
Sammy Jay
You think I am a coward" re-
torted Peter.
L wouldn't 60 so far as to say that,
Peter" replied Sammy.
But you think it," retorted Peter.
I know. A lot of people think the
same thing. A coward is one who
runs away from danger that he can
and should face That isn't at all
the way with me. I run because I
can't tight. If I could I wouldn't
run"
But you don't have to run from
nothing, and you do that a dozen
times a day. II that isn't cowardly,
what is?" retorted Sammy Jay.
Peter grinned. Good plain COM
mon sense" said he. II hear some
thing that suggests an enemy's pres
ence. II wait to make sure I may
wait too long, just as did that young
Rabbit that Terror the Goshawk
caught. If I get into bramble -tangle
I'm safe either way the alarm turns
out. 1t is better to run countless
times from nothing than to fail to
run once from real danger. I'm Just
obeying the law of life, which is self
preservation. If didn't I wouldn't
be here, but here I am"
And I'm glad you are" said
Sammy.
Thanks" replied Peter. I'm glad
you feel that way"
4 guess Cousin Blacky the Crow
Is right" said Sammy.
He probably is. Blacky is one of
the smartest people know. What is
1t he is right about this time?" re-
piled Peter.
That fear may be q blessing, and
that it IS because you are 80 timid
that you are still with U.s." explained
Sammy Jay.
Peter grinned. There is a lot of
wisdom in that black head Of YOUR
cousin" said he.
Sammy nodded In agreement.
Take care Of yourself, Peter. I
must be on my way now," said he,
and flew of.
