II don't suppose I'll find much to
eat here, but little in peace and
safety is better than a feast with
worry and danger" said she, SWIM
ming over to the brown, broken-dow
bulrushes on one side of the Smiling
Pool, and appearing to stand on her
head as she plunged under water and
searched in the mud on the bottom
for food. Peter Rabbit looked over
at Jerry Muskrat sitting on the Big
Rock and Jerry winked. In a min
ute up bobbed the head of Mrs. Quack,
and there was both a pleased and a
worried LOOK on her face She had

Pool looking suspiciously this way and
that way. There is corn over there"
said she. "Do you know how it came
there?"
II saw Farmer Browns Boy throw
ing something over there" replied
Peter Didn't we tell you that he
would be good to you?"
"Quack, quack, quack! I've seen
that kind OF kindness too often to be
fooled by it," snapped Mrs. Quack.
HE probably saw me leave in a hurry
and put this corn here hoping that
I would come back and find it and
make up my mind to stay here a
while. He thinks that II I do he'll

to shoot me. I didn't believe this
could be safe place for me, and now
know it. I'll stay here tonight, but
tomorrow I'll try to find some other
place. Oh, dear, it's dreadful not to
have any place at all to feel safe in"
There were tears in her eyes.
Peter thought of the dear Old Briar
Patch and how safe he always fat
there, and he felt great pity for poor
Mrs. Quack, who couldn't feel safe
anywhere And then right away he
grew indignant that she should be
so distrust1ul Of Farmer Browns Boy,
though if he had stopped to think he
would have remembered that once he
was Just - dist11Btfll.

ing out the corn and wheat as fast as
ever she could. When at last she
could eat s. more, she felt so COM
Portable that somehow the Smiling
Pool didn't seem such dangerous
place after all, and she quite forgot
Farmer Browns Boy. She found a
snug hiding place among the rushes
too far out from the bank for Reddy
Fox to surprise her, and then, with
a sleepy Good night" to Jerry and
Peter, she tucked her head under her
wing and soon was fast asleep.
Peter Rabbit tiptoed away and then
he hurried lipperty- -lipperty-lip to the
dear Old Briar Patch to tell Mrs.
Peter al about Mrs. Quack.
Evening star., 1938-04-27

II should think" said Peter with a
great deal of dignity, that you might
at least believe what Jerry Muskrat
and I, who live here all the time, tell
you. We ought to know Farmer
Browns Boy if any one does, and We
tell you that he won't harm a feather
Of you"
''He won't get the chance!" snapped
Mrs. Quack.
Jerry Muskrat shifted in disgust. II
don't doubt you have suffered a lot
from men with terrible guns" said
he, "but you don't suppose Peter and

legged creatures myself, but Farmer
Browns Boy is different. If all Of
them were like him we wouldn't have
a thing to fear from them. He has
heart. Yes, indeed, he has heart.
Now, you take my advice and eat
whatever he has put there for you,
be thankful and stop worrying. Peter
and will keep watch and warn you
If there is any danger"
I don't know as even this would have
overcome Mrs. Quacks fears If it
hadn't been for the taste of that good
corn in her mouth and the empty
stomach. She couldn't, she just
couldn't resist these, and presently
she Vas back among the r,1shes hunt

LUCK

A FULL stomach makes the whole
world seem different, brighter,
better and more worth living in. 1t
Is the hardest kind of hard work to
be cheerful and see only the bright
side of things when your stomach is
empty. But once fill that empty
stomach and everything is changed.
1t was just that was with Mrs. Quack
For days at a time she hadn't had a
full stomach because of the hunters
with their terrible guns, and when
just before dark that night she re-
turned to the Smiling Pool her stom-
ach was quite empty.

Air Conditioning
 Cuts Afternoons
 Off in WaSh.,D.C,
Federal Departments Work Right on During Slz-
 zling Temperatures
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 30. = Air conditioning has become handi- cap in this city.
 For years it has been the custom of most Federal Departments to dismiss their help on sizzling after moons. It is still the practice in the older buildings to call it day when the thermometer begins batting the pretty ones out of their seats. But in the new buildings with air-con- ditioning there are no such after moons off. The air cooled help are forced to sit at their desks while thousands of their fellow Federal ists ride the heat waves homeward.
 And on one of the hottest of these days (our office isn't air-con- ditioned but we were not dismissed anyway, Dick Cowell, of Sena- tor Adams staff, messaged us from Denver:
 Just to make you madder, the temperature is lower than Ann Corio's eyelashes when the strip tease is over"
 You can imagine what that did to our temperature.

PREMIER, POPE IN ARGUMENT
 ON NEW RACE
Mussolini Makes Sharpest Statement Every Dl
 rected at Vatican

FORLI, Italy, July 30.-Premier Benito Mussolini today replied per- sonally to Pope Plus who yesterday asserted in an address to students of the Catholic Action that the new Fascist race policy was adopted m imitation of the Nazi in Germany
 Addressing Fascist officials here today, Premier MuSsolini said: You know, and everyone knows, that on the question of the new Fascist race, we will shoot straight To say that Fascism has initiated anyone or anything is sinply.absurd."
 The statement of the Premier is the sharpest yet directed at the Vatican and has caused uneasiness on the part of the Catholics. The Pope in his address to the students of the Catholic Action. which was publicly released by the Vatican City News Service, said between the Catholic Action and the Fascist Party there exists an incurable doc trinal divergence"
 The Pope also criticized the new race policy which holds Jews do not belong to the Italian race.

 Bombing Raids

HENDAYE, French Spanish Frontier, July 30 - The Spanish Loyalists in their surprise offensive on the Catalonian front, have also apparently halted endorsements for the Insurgents being rushed from the Valencia front.
 The Loyalists have steadily ad- vanced during the past 48 hours on the Catalonian front although Franco ordered cutting of the dams on the Ebro River and tributaries. This flood condition has worked to the advantage of the Loyalists and to the detriment of the Insur- gents.
 That the Loyalist drive is success ful is evidenced by the fact that Gen. Franco has withdrawn forces from the attack on Valencia to be rushed to the Catalonian Sector.
 The Insurgents continue intensive bombing activities on the Catalon- ian front.

NICKEL ORES MAY BE MINED
 NEAR JUNEAU
Yakobi Island Claims Are Assayed with View to
 Development

Possibility oI nicxeI production from known deposits of nickel bearing ore in the Chichagof and Baranof Island vicinities loomed higher today when Carl Dreutzer and Dr. Edson s. Bastin returned from Yakobi Island to report things looked favorable"
 Dreutzer, President of the Nickel Corporation of America, which holds 26 claims on Yakobi Island, embracing what was formerly known as the Bohemia group, said his company would await the re- suits of assays on samples brought back.
 Will Drill
 Well drill the ground if the as- says give us any promise" Dreut- ger said.
 Dr. Edson Bastin, head of the ge- ology department of the University of Chicago, consulting geologist for the examination, accomp nyin g Dreutzer, said, "The assays will do the talking"
 Geologic reports of the area in which Dreutzer's company is pros- pecting, indicate that the several nickel prospects along the ocean side of Chichagof and Baranof Is- lands, are similar in many details to producing mines in Norway, Swe- den and Sudbury, Ontario.
 Gabbroic Mass
 The Yakobi group of claims lies in a gabbroic mass roughly ellipti- cal in shape, about one and two- fifths miles wide and two miles long. Assays at the surface appear to be enrichened by filtration. but deeper assays indicate a primary mineral content that is believed to continue as constant.
 Assays give nickel percentages of from 165 to 5.70, according to geo. logic reports. At Sudbury, which section has produced millions of dollars in nickel, such assays as received in Alaska would be "un- usually good"
 Six nickel prospects worthy oi mention, have been developed tc varying extents in Southeast AL aska. Showing most promise at the present time, 1t appears, is the Ya- kobi Island section. A.
 Controls Group
 The Nickel Corporation of Amer ica, of which Carl Dreutzer is presi- dent, has control of the Bohemia Group on Yaboki Island, while an other group of claims in the same area, known as the Tasmania Group. is held by Carl and s. H. P Velvestad with whom the Nicke Corporation of America made theiI deal for the Bohemia group.
 The Velvestad brothers also have holdings at Snipe Bay, on the south end of Baranof Island, where Swed- ish engineers evinced considerable interest, and at Fleming Island Continued on Page Seven)

Army Transport Meigs Makes First Dicovery of Missing Craft Search
 Is to Be Continued

MANILA, July 30.-The United States Army transport Meigs re- ports by radio that a large patch of oil has been found on the sur- face of the Pacific Ocean indicat- ing the missing Hawaii Clipper may have plunged into the sea 500 miles from Manila.
 The radiogram from the Meigs did not mention sighting any wreck age from the flying boat which disappeared two days ago with six passengers and crew of nine aboard on the Guam Manila flight.
 The radiogram from the Meigs said the coating of heavy oil was about 1,500 feet in circumference and was found directly on the course of the 26-ton clipper.
 Lifeboats from the transport col lected samples to help determine whether the oil was from the plane.
 If the clipper went down there is little hope of finding any wreck age as the oil patch lay over deep waters of the Pacific Ocean.
 Army and Navy officials announce that the search for the missing clipper with a gigantic fleet will continue for several days.
 STILL HAVE HOPES
 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 30. Officials of the headquarters of the Pan American hold hope that the oil found on the Pacific might have been dumped on the surface for an emergency landing and the clipper alighted safely, subsequent ly is drifting at sea faster than the oil.
 The officials admitted that find ing of the oil is significant but not conclusive"
