long time Jerry would not touch
them. When at last he did venture
to eat them it was only after a very
careful search for hidden traps.
The queer thing is that all the
time Jerry wanted to trust Farmer
Browns Boy just as he had in the
past. But the memory of his sore
tail and his dreadful fright kept sus-
picion alive It simply wouldn't die.
Farmer Browns Boy knew 1t was so
and understood why. It made him
sad and also it filled him with anger
toward the trapper who had de-
stroyed the old faith and trust.

So, though Farmer Browns Boy
came to the Smiling Pool every day
and did everything he could think
of to show Jerry that he was a true
friend, Jerry continued to be sus-

Through kind and thoughtful deeds
for a long time Farmer Browns Boy
had established faith and trust in
the minds of Jerry Muskrat and all
the other little people of the Green

to regard him as a true friend. Then
along had come a stranger who also
pretended to be friend. Day after
day he brought dainties for Jerry
Muskrat until Jerry regarded him
just as he did Farmer Browns Boy
and wasn't the least bit suspicious.
Then the stranger had set traps

$111,ooo,ooo Spent
By yW.P.A. on Airports
In More Than ; Years
154 Fields Built und
494 Improved, Says
Col. Harrington

More than $112,O00, 900 has been
spent by the Works Progress Admin
istration during the three and one
half years ended December 81 on
construction of new airports, exten-
sions or improvements to existing
airports, and establishment of air
navigation aids, Col. F.. c. Harring-
ton, w p. A. administrator, reported
last night.
The program has included con-
struction of 154 new airports and
extensions or improvements to 494
others since establishment Of w.
P. A. in 1885, Col. Harrington said
w. P. A. expenditures during 1888
for aviation facilities totaled $685.
40 1874 and the program was ex-
tended to SO additional airport sites
ana individual projects of all classes
were completed at the rate OF ap-
proximateiy one a day, the report
showed.
At the beginning of this year, st.
986 men were at work on 164 sites,
providing additional facilities essen
tial to the rapidly y-expanding avia-
tion industry and to national air
defense.
During the last year the first
funds for the District Of Columbia
became available with the alloca-
ton of $534,016 for five projects at
Washington National Airport at
Gravelly Point. This was in addi-
ton to more than $4,000 900 allo-
Gated by the Public Works Admin
istration.
''Long-recognized requirements for
the future development Of flying
commercial, military and civil-are
being met through the employment
OF able-bodied men who otherwise
would be idle" Col. Harrington said.
He explained that while a great
deal remains to be done, marked
advance" has been made in bring
ing ground facilities up to the re-
quirements of modern fast transport
a1rliners and of the national de-
tense. Larger fields, paved runways
and landing mats and more closely
spaced direction markers are assur-
ing greater flying safety, he con-
tended.
These contributions to aviation
have been accomplished through ex-
penditure of $112.36O ,295 in Federal
funds and approximately SO, 900 900
in sponsors funds, Col. HARRINGTON
reported. Prior to establishment of
w. p. A., the Civil Works Admins
tration and the Federal Emergency
Reliaf Administration spent $24 ,OOO.-
600 on similar projects.
The developments as q result of
these expenditures have contributed
directly to the advancement of COM
mercial flying by improving nearly
30 per cent Of the regular airline
stops in the United States; have in
vited extension Of air routes, en-
couraged civilians to take up avia-
ton and provided emergency land
ing fields along the regular air
routes, Col. Harrington pointed out.

Leave Worry
To Parents
By MONA DJIGAS.

The fall of Humpty Dumpty HIM
self caused not half as much of q
scramble as did the fall of the ira
ditional Thanksgiving Day date.
Particularly among the debutants
and their families did this blow de-
scend-and now confusion reigns
over all the plans for the fall fes-
tivities among the younger set. Those
parents whose only reason for setting
November 80 as the date for the in
PRODUCTION of their daughters to So
ciety because Thanksgiving Day fell
at that time, find themselves in a
dilemma Mrs. Berkeley Thorne
Merchant, for instance, whose
daughter, Berenice, had chosen
Thanksgiving Day (the originaD for
her debut, says she doesn't know
what to do-the invitations are al
ready being engraved, so it looks as
if November 30 it will be-but not
Thanksgiving. It's all very confus-
ing and upsetting.

occupies the house on Scott Circle
which was owned and lived in for
some years by the late Mrs. Charles
A. Mum of Philadelphia The EN-
bassy itself is at 1901 Massachusetts
avenue, the entrance being on the
circle, and when the Ambassador
leased the house the owners cut a
door at 1900 Sixteenth street for the
entrance to the Offices. The Ambas-
sador has no plan or desire to move
and probably will remain there in
definitely. The Ecuador Ambassa-
dor, Senor Captain Colon Eloy Al!
faro, and Sonora de Alfaro have
maintained an apartment in the
MayfoWer since coming here. the
offices of the Embassy being not
far away In an Office building, and
the Chinese Ambassador, DR.. HUI
shit, again leased Twin Ooaks. the
estate of Mrs Charles J. Bell, which
his predecessor, DR.. Chenting Wang,
occupied before him.
Colombian Ambassador
Must Make Decision.
The Colombian Ambassador,
Senor Don Miguel Lopez Pumarejo,
and Sonora de Lopez, however, are
not entirely settled. At the time the
Colombian Legation was raised to an
Embassy and the Ambassador pro-
NOTED from Minister to his present
rank, the house at 1920 Twentieth
street was leased. The house was
the scene Of much entertaining
when Mrs. Thomas T. Gaff, and the
late Mr.. Gaff lived there and when
the former Secretary of War, Mr..
Dwight F. Davis, his first wife, the
late Mrs. Davis, and their daughters
spent several winters in the house.
The Ambassador and Sonora de
Lopez have two attractive daugh-
ters and as in other years they will
do considerable entertaining through
the winter season. The Ambassador
and his family are at Bay Head,
N. j., and no decision has been
made as to whether to move or re-
main on Twentieth street.
New Swiss Minister
Faces Making Choice.
The number of Legations which
have permanent homes, however, is
much smaller in proportion, for, of
the 81 missions, there are Is or 16
of them in rented houses or apart
ments. The Swiss Minister and
Nine. Peter gave up their attractive
house on Kalorama Circle before
they went to Maine in the early
summer and as the time of their re-
turn here Is unsettled owing to the
recuperation of the Minister from
his serious illness in the late winter,
they probably will spend the au-
tumn in a local hotel. The Minister

to Nonquit in Massachusetts,, and
have made no plan to return
here before October. The minis
ter, like most of his country
men is active in athletics, his
sixty-one years no handicap to
his skill. In a recent tournament
he played with King Gustaf v,
now eighty-one years young,
whose prowess still is to be
feared by his opponents. The
King and the Minister, playing in
the "old boys" tournament, won
their games even though their
combined ages amount to 142-
which is at least score one for
