WHY HITLER MOVED

Two considerations decided Hitler to move rapidly, according to word which comes from his Italian allies.
 First was the fact that the Al lies still are unprepared, espec- tally in the air, and Hitler want ed to strike before they would be fully prepared in the fall
 Second, Hitler knew that there was not much danger of heavy U. s. war sales to the Allies until after the presidential election. After the election, Hitler figured that American sympathies might loosen up the Johnson act (bar- ring loans to defaulted govern ments), and the United States might become a wholesale sup plier of Allied war materials-on a credit basis.
 Unquestionably it was in pre- paration for the Scandinavian conquests that Hitler released the white paper reporting the con- versations between Polish and American diplomats. The timing was perfect-one week before his blitzkrieg and beautifully cal culated to make Washington lean over backward for neutrality.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

win you please send me couple
Of stories about wheels?"
So writes Mathew Sotnik, a boy
who reads our column. Since I have
no printed leafiet on the subject, I
think 1t might be a good idea today
to 60 over the story of the wheel
No one knows when wheels were
f1rst made. but they were in use far
back in the history of Egypt and
Rabylonia. In both those countries
ancient people had oxen or other
beasts of burden which pulled carts.
Olden pictures of wheels show
that they were solid disks of wood
No doubt they were at first simply
pieces sawed from tree trunks.
Before there were wheels with
exles, there no doubt was some use
OF logs as rollers" In one sense
Of the word, log roller would be
. crude wheel.
BY and by, men learned to make
wheels with spokes This made
wheel of less weight, but with a
great deal of strength.

Carlton

Noun A set OF bells. usually

Bell music dates from earliest
medieval times. One of the largest
carillons in the United States is that
of Riverside Drive Church. New
York, containing u bells, the largest
Of which weighs more than 20 tons.
The word carlton came into the
English language from the French.
The French pronunciation is occa-
sionally heard but the nasal "n." as

often impossible sound for Amer

Modern authorities sanction three
pronunciations; in the order of their
acceptability they are:
First choice: KAIR-i -i-lahn.
Second choice: -RILL-yun.
Third choice French):

Question: Can you tell me why
colonel is pronounced "KER- -nel?"-
H. B. s.
Answer-This is prime example
ef.the inconsistencies found through
out English that causes philologists
to age before their time.
The spelling colonel" is French.
The pronunciation "KER-nel" is a
corruption of the Spanish word
coronel pronounced -NEL'O :,
a form that was common in Eliza
bethan English. At one time colonel
was pronounced "KUL-nel," "ker-
oh-NEL" and "KAWR-nill," but the
current pronunciation. KERNEL"
superseded all others before 1900.

"A Little Saturday Talk

Ways were found to make wheels
of larger diameter than any tree
trunk which could be cut down.
With the central hub, and the
spokes around it, there was only
the problem of rim in making
these large wheels. Tough wood
could be soaked in water and bent
to form the rim.
Ancient carts usually had only
two wheels. though some had four.
We may think of the two wheeled
cart as a thing of the past. but
there are many such carts In coun-
tries of Europe and Asia.
The wheel has been q central
part of ever so many modern in
ventions. Without wheels we could
not have bicycles, automobiles or
railway trains. Airplanes use wheels
in taking of and in landing.
Wheels also have been put to use
in making many machines which
have nothing to do with travel.
Think Of all the wheels which turn
IN factories and mills!
Evening star., 1940-03-30

In short, we must have wheels
to carry on modern life. If we did
not have this ancient invention, we
could not have most modern in
ventions. Even moving picture ma
chimes must have wheels on which
the Aim can be wound.
Perhaps you will find it interest
ing to make list Of things with
wheels in everyday life. I think
you could make a list of 20 to 50 in
a few minutes.

Offering reliable furniture at req sonable prices, the Warehouse Fur niture Company, whose stores are situated in principal cities through out the country, will open for busi- ness on Harrison avenue tomorrow morning.
 The store will be managed by two veterans in the furniture field, John Wise, manager, who was af- filiated with the South Norwalk Warehouse for eight years, and Nicholas J. Muccino, of Waterbury, assistant manager. MT. Muccino a member of many local organize tions, has been in the business 25 years.
 A complete, varied assortment of furniture is offered to the public. Nationally advertised products, such as Simmons mattresses, Kroehler living rooms, Florence ranges and Philco radios, vary with less known, but reliable merchandise, and fill every requirement. of the fastidious customer.
 Besides offering a complete line of merchandise, the management has taken especial care to make the store a thing of beauty. Avoid ing the confusion usually associat- ed with furniture stores, the Ware house shop is neatly appointed and

 More QuestiOnnaireS
 Orders have been received from Hartford at the four local boards to begin sending out immediately Ques- tionnaires to another 10 per cent of the registrantS. This is being done so that the initial quotas might be met without delay.
 Questionnaires are still being re- ceived without being formally sworn to by a notary public or any other responsible official. This necessi- tates sending out @ card to that person to have them report to the board offices and affirm the ques- tionnaire and his signature.
 All questionnaires must be filled out and returned within five days of receipt. Failure to do so will in- volve action by the Department of Justice in Washington.

 Among the special departments are a baby department and a kitch- en-appliance department. These include the latest and most attrac- tive articles; captivating baby fur niture, svelte, sanitary kitchen ap- pliances.
 The Warehouse company also avoids what are sometimes regard ed as the worst features of large, chain organizations. Although the Warehouse stores are situated in key cities, each store is independent of the other, financiai:y self-func- tioning Benefits derived from the non financial association of the stores are that they are able to buy in volume, thereby procuring un- usual values which they can offer | at reasonable prices

 Beginning next week the store will observe a g to o'clock sched- ule. Tomorrow it will be open un- i til g o'clock.
