Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Mr.. Blacksnake didn't linger long
to discuss his handy tongue with
Peter Rabbit on the bank of the
Smiling Pool. He guessed what had
become of Piper the Hyla. He knew
Piper's ways well enough to know
that beyond doubt Piper was at
that very moment quite safe from
him deep in the Smiling Pool. Being
hungry, Mr.. Blacksnake wasted no
more time there.

voice of his, Il wish, Peter, that you
were as small as you were the first

Peter in such a bold, hungry. inn

Piper anxiously.
"Quite sure" replied Peter. II

Then I guess it is safe for me

and popped his head out Of the

Peter was SO busy listening that
BY Edgar Rice Burroughs

Peter was so busy listening that
both forgot to keep their eyes peeled
as the saying is. You know that
means to keep a sharp watch Of all
that is going on. So neither Piper
nor Peter saw a great bird flying up
the Laughing Brook from the Big
River until he dropped a pair of
long legs, folded his great wings and
stood in the water right in front of
them. Piper stopped piping abrupt
ly, very abruptly indeed. He stopped
so short that he cut one note right
in half.
"Longlegs!" cried Peter. for that

Peter looked down at Piper and
saw such a look of terror in Piper's

friends with widely different interests

She becomes extra woman'-and the couples who

Fear of JobIessness
Held Drag on Building

BY ire Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. SIS. M. Waters.
president of the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America, said today
most OF the associations members
believe more people do not build
their own homes because of "un-
certainty over continued employ
ment."
This problem and possible WAYS
of solving it will be one of the prin-
clpal topics for discussion at the
associations 18th annual conven-
ton in Detroit in October, Waters
said.
Ninety-seven per cent OF the as
SoclatlonS members in is repre-
sentative cities cited employment
uncertainty as the primary barrier
to new home construction.
Next in Importance, and cited by
IA per cent as a deterrent to more
new building was high cost of la
Dor and materials" But % per cent
said they did not hold labor and
material costs too high. Many said
they felt this had been highly over
exaggerated"
OF those who did view labor and
material costs as too high, the re-
port showed that many believed this
factor would take care of itself and
become adjusted.
The third most important deter
rent to home building was a belief
that you can buy cheaper than you
can build" This was given by ST

Fear Of War Eases
In Europe, but Berlin
Is Nervous
Rumors Again Stir Of
U. S. Trade Treaty
With Argentine
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Aug. SIN both
Berlin and London neutral observers
Insist that the betting odds against
war this summer are growing, but
not against fresh crisis during
the next few weeks, according to
cable and wireless reports to Bust
ness Week. Berlin, in fact, has de-
yeloped a bad case of nerves during
the last few days. London and Paris
are relatively calm, but they expect
almost anything.
Rumors that something is stirring
again In Washington on the pro-
posal to negotiate new trade agree
ment with the Argentine have not
been denied by important officials.
Argentina is the most important
Latin American country with which
Washington still lacks trade
agreement. 1t is the country, next
to Mexico, in which American bust
ness is having the toughest going
just now. Obstacles in the way of
trade agreement is the United
States antipathy to imports of Ar
gentine beef products, against which
an exaggerated case has been built
up, and to the difficulty of working
out duty concessions in general on
agricultural products, which are Ar
gentina's main exports. Foreign
trade circles believe that the Ar
gentine treaty would be but one of
several important pacts which will
be pushed this fall to fill in the gap
of possible loss of trade in Japan
and in the axis countries in Europe
Business is watching developments
In the Orient closely, following the
announcement that Washington will
terminate its present trade agree
ment with Nippon six months from
now, but expect no important reac-
tons for several weeks.
Adding another bead to the long
string of restrictions on foreign
business in Japan, the Japanese gov
eminent is apparently preparing to
shut off foreign-controlled enter
prises completely from membership
in official distribution and control
agencies.
American oil firms in Japan.
though admitted to various semi
official trade organizations, are being
left completely in the dark regarding
stocks, demand and supply and are
not given access to import statistics.
They are unable to make plans for
the immediate future as not even
the tank capacity available at
given time is disclosed by organiza-
ton officials.
And now foreign patentees who
have let licenses to Japanese manu-
facturers on a royalty basis are
unable to obtain production and
sales reports if items of the slightest
military significance are involved.
Patent litigations and damage suits
are hopeless as witnesses may refuse
to testify in court if the unlawful
production is concerned with an
article or process of military value.
