LONDON, July 10.-An increasing flow of American made bombers will soon enable Great Britain to enact manifold retaliation on Berlin for the German bombardment of Lon don.
 This statement was made today by new Minister of Aircraft Produc- tion, Lieut.. Col Moore Brabazon who declared that within a few months Berlin will hear sirens announcing air attacks.
 Brabazon said the attacks will be just as fierce and as disastrous as those made months ago by the Ger mans on London on Wednesday and Saturday nights when the British Capital City was heavily raided.
 The German raids will appear to be mere child's play compared to the raids we will stage on Berlin D Brabazon said. A

WASHINGTON Thanks to its potent lobby, Pan-American Airways recently succeeded in blocking the establishment of competing air line across the Atlantic. The White House, State Department, Army and Navy wanted the second service, but Pan-Am had more influence with a ma ajority of the U. s. Sen- ate
 No announcement has been made about it, but today there is anoth- CT competing airline across the At lantic. It is operated by the U. &. Army Air Corps, and was establish ed because of Pan-Am's inability to meet the war r-booming demand for transatlantic service.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

After leaving the little sugar
house, Prickly Porky made straight
for a certain tall tree in which he
climbed, and he wasn't a bit slow
about it, either. Not till he was
clear to the top did he feel safe and
draw long breath of relief
II don't know what that thing
was that jumped on me, but I guess
by this time it is pretty sorry it did
it," mumbled Prickly Porky. OF
course, he thought that the thing
was something alive, but it wasn't,
you know. 1t was simply Farmer
Browns Boys old sweater. Not
knowing this, Prickly Porky took a
great deal of satisfaction in the
thought that it was filled full of his
little spears and probably was wish
ing it had left him alone.
Prickly Porky muttered away to
himself for long time before he
noticed queer feeling. At first he
couldn't understand just why it was
he felt queer or in just what way he
felt queer He just felt queer, that
was all. But by and by it came to
him that there was something
wrong with his coat and that that
was why he felt queer. You know,
Prickly Porky has a fur coat of
quite long hair and in this hair he
hides the thousand little spears
which are his protection from his
enemies. When he Is in danger or
angry he makes all those little
spears stand up on end and they
point in all directions.
He tried raising all those little
spears now and suddenly discovered
that he hadn't any little spears to
raise That is to say, he had only
a few scattered here and there in
his fur coat. He knew then why it
was he felt queer. You see. most of
those little spears had stuck in that
old sweater and were still sticking
in it.
Never had Prickly Porky had such
a feeling as came over him when he
discovered that nearly all his little
spears were gone. He felt disgraced
Yes, sir, he felt disgraced. You
know, most folks feel disgraced if
they have been whipped in a fight,
Prickly Porky felt that he had not
exactly been whipped in fight. for
he felt that whoever had attacked
him had Jared worse than he had;
nevertheless, he felt that it was
disgrace to lose nearly all his little
spears. OF course, he had TO rea-
son to feel disgraced, but just the
same he did. He felt that he didn't
want anybody to see him without
those little spears.
At first this was all he could think
about. You know, always he had
taken a lot of pleasure in ratting
those little spears and it always
had tickled him to see his neighbors
back away and take care not to
come too near him. Now he hadn' t
enough spears to rattle. He tried
and tried, but all in vain. Prickly
Porky had been as proud of those
little spears of his as Sammy Jay
is of his fine feathers. That is why
the loss of them made him feel dis
graced.

BY FRANK COLBY.
Initiative

Noun Energy; the quality OF ag-
gressiUeneSS or self-relidnce.
INITIATIVE is the surprise word
of the week The word should not
be telescoped to four syllables, as:
''in-ISH-uh-tive
Many -ative words are so tele-
scoped-co-o decorative, in
terpretative, illuminative are most
often heard as: "KWOP-ruh-ti tive,
DEK-ruh-tive, in-TER-pruh-ti
ill-LOOM- tive" but no author
ity sanctions the dropping of the "a
syllable.
Modern dictionaries place a sec
ondary accent on the "a syllable,
and the "a is long as in bay, day,
say.
Correct pronunciations:
n-ISH-ee-AY-tiv
koe-AHP-er-AY-ti
in-TER-pree-TAY-tive
ill-YOOM-in-AY-tive
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented)
From Los Angeles-Why do you
not recommend British pronuncia-
tions as shown in the great oxford
Dictionary?-H.
Answer-The oxford is a splendid
reference, but 1t cannot be used for
pronunciations in America. In fact,
the British themselves do not cleave
to it invariably. George Bernard
Shaw remarked: "If King George
should deliver a single broadcast in
an oxford accent, his subjects would
straightaway rise up and on that
day declare republic"

Early asked radio networks,
which previously had granted the

Is minutes. He explained that as
the speech was being completed,
the president found that he could
not compress what he wants to
say into half an hour.
The president cancelled all
engagements Tuesday. includ-
ing his p. m. press confer
ence, TO concentrate on prep
aration of the address.
Early's disclosures came as con-
gressional isolationists challenged

Mr.. Roosevelt was assisted In
preparing his speech by Harry L.

ert z. Sherwood.
On present Indications the

before ESQ or p. m, psf.
Mr.. Roosevelt goes on the air
ut $50 p. m, psf.
Early said that one factor in
preparation of the address had
been Mr.. Roosevelt's effort to
study the great number OF letters
and kilograms pouring into the
White House. Early said that
there were from 1900 to 1900
letters and kilograms, most of
them suggesting policy for to-
nights speech. and rejecting
cross-section Of American opinion.
Contents are Varied
Early said that naturally these
letters and kilograms varied over
the extreme range from full sup
port of the presidents policies, to
rabid opposition. He said, how
ever. that it was impossible to
estimate the ratio OF support to
opposition.
