The only concrete fact developed
was that he would not go to the

lately asked whether he would go
to Chicago by airplane or by train,

that he would stay away from the

The president replied, somewhat
sharply, that the questioners SEEM

that he had Just said definitely that

When he was asked whether he
would have any personal part In

The Germans have to guard far
more territory than the British

its considerably the number of
planes Germany can use in assault

some extent the puzzling fact that

He sang this song;

AS he said this, Farmer browns
Boy pointed his gun straight up at
Mr.. Redwing, who was sitting on
the very topmost twig OF a tall tree
singing for Joy, because over in
their cradle In the bulrushes on the
edge of the Smiling Pool he had
four little babies. For just a min
ute Farmer Browns Boy looked
along the barrel Of his dreadful
gun and then-.why, he put the gun
down again.
II could shoot you just as easy as
can be, Mr.. Redwing, but I guess I
don't want to-" said he, I'D miss
that beautiful song Of yours, and 1t
wouldn't do me bit of good just
to know that I could hit you, be-
cause know it anyway. All I want
chicken, but 1t looks as If Ill have
to keep right on wanting. I've
hunted the Green Meadows all over
and I've hunted the Green Forest
all through, but no Mr.. Fox. I've
found the house where he used to
live, but he wasn't at home when I
called, and he hasn't been there
since, for every day I have been to
see"
Fee. fl, TO, FUN, fiddle, dee!"
sang Mr.. Redwing.
Farmer Browns Boy grinned un-
til the freckles on his face seemed
to run into one big freckle. What
do you know about it!' he asked.
Fee. fl. 70. fun, fiddle. dee!"
sang Mr.. Redwing, just as he had
before.
Farmer Browns Boy chuckled.
'I believe you could tell me a whole
lot If you only would" said he.
HAS Mr.. Fox left the Green Mea-
dows for good?"
Fee, fl, TO, fun. fiddle, dee"
was all that Mr.. Redwing had to
say.
Farmer Browns Boy hitched up
his trousers and looked over the
| Green Meadows. There was no one
| in sight excepting Mr.. Redwing.
You see. all the other little meadow
and forest people had become so
afraid of Farmer Browns Boy and
his dreadful gun. that as soon as
he appeared they straightway hid
The only reason that Mr.. Redwing
hadn't flown away as soon as he
saw Farmer Browns Boy was be-
cause his heart was so full of hap
piness that he couldn't believe any,
one would possibly want to hurt him.
Presently Farmer Browns Boy
whistled to Bowser the Hound, who
was running about pretending that
he was trying his very hardest to
| find the tracks of Reddy Fox. well,
old fellow, can't you find that fox?
asked Farmer Browns Boy.
Bowser the Hound looked up In
his masters face and wagged his
tail. Then he looked of across the
| Green Meadows toward the far away
| Old Pasture on the edge Of the
mountain. Bow, WOW, wow!" said
he.
Farmer Browns Boy looked over
| there, too. and a sudden thought
came to him. He reached down and
patted Bowser's head. "I believe
you're right. old fellow" said he.
"I believe that fox has left the
Green Meadows. and I shouldn't
wonder but what he has gone up
to the Old Pasture Some day we'll
have a look for him there. Now I
guess we'll give it up .SFr the Green
| Meadows and in the Green Forest,
and we'll go home and put the gun
away"
Fee. A, 70, fun, fiddle, dee!"
sang Mr.. Redwing from the top
most twig Of the tall tree.

VIENNA, Feb. 22 Talkative women deprived themselves of the chance of buying silk stockings.
 Othmar Taeubele of Vienna, owner of dry-goods store, was well supplied with silk stockings when the rationing set in. Unable to withstand the plea of his fair sex customers, and in disregard of official orders. Taeubele freely sold his silk stockings.
 This news spread rapidly all ever town, making his business assume such proportions that the police became curious. As a re- suit Taeubele was arrested and his store closed.
 Under present regulations every German woman is entitled to buy only four pairs of stockings an nually, for which Is points from her clothing card totalling one hundred points for the whole year, are clipped. In addition, every German girl or woman may buy two more pairs of stockings For these, however, they have to part with another l6 points, leav- ing but 68 to cover the rest of their needs.

 Bishop Haywood, who has seven children, said he lived in a "so- called palace" that could d almost accommodate the inhabitants of a small village
 Suggesting that the church "to- day seems to the average man to belong to the privileged classes" the bishop said every diocesan bishop should be set free to vacate his pal aace, surrendering enough of his income to enable the church to keep up the house for some rellg- ious or philanthropic purpose.

U. 5. FIRM BUILDS PLANE FOR MAKING
 SYNTHETIC RUBBER

A special report in the New York Times says the rights to a new pro cess for the manufacture in the United States of rubber on com mercial scale have been acquired by Standard Oil of New Jersey. The process was developed by the oil company and the German chemical company, I. G. Farbenindustrie.
 As a beginning, Standard of New Jersey will construct at one of it's refineries plant capable of pro- 2,000 tons of synthetic rubber annually The plant will probably be in operation this year The cost of making the synthetic product will compare .favorably With what the rubber manufacturing comp n ies now are paying for crude rubber. With a gradual expansion of facili- ties, it is said, the synthetic pro duct can be manufactured at slight ly less than 20 cents a pound.

 About 100 years ago Russian traders coming over to what was then their territory in Alaska to purchase fur from the Esklmos used for money or exchange blocks of pressed tea like the one I have here,' Dr. Wetmore said- Ihe natives took these blocks and used them for trade among themselves so that they really passed as cur rency among them.

HonlesieadeYs, Modern Style

GRANGER, Ia, Feb. Nearly four-fifths of the original 50 fam lilies who moved into the Federal Homestead Project here in 1895 still are occupying the acreages, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. L. G. Ligutti Catholic priest and patron of the project. has revealed.
 The settlement entered it's fifth year of occupancy recently. Pur- chase of the land and construction of the homes were financed by $2000O0 of Federal money.
 Families earning less than $l,200 a year are buying the places under long-term contracts. Surrounding each home is land of five acres or less. Most of the families formerly lived in coal mining camps.
 The government is a tremendous beneficiary of the project, the mon signor said. Besides the gains in social values, the government is getting it's investment back"
 Added to the project landscape last fall was community house. The monsignor said the settlers also have increased the efficiency of their cooperative unit through purchase of a tractor and through group purchasing of canning equip ment
