Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGEs

ny lhOhNION w. bOhGESS.
Whitefoot the Wood Mouse once
more was happy. When he found
his snug little nest and his store
of food under that old box in the
darkest corner of Farmer Browns S
sugar house he knew that Farmer
Browns Boy must have placed it
there. 1t was better than the old
place under the woodpile. 1t was
the best place for home Whitefoot
ever had. 1t didn't take him long
to change his mind about leaving
the little sugar house. Somehow
he seemed to know right down in
side that his home would not again
be disturbed.
So he proceeded to rearrange his
nest and to put all his supplies of
food in one corner of the old box.
When everything was arranged to
suit him he ventured out. for now
that he no longer feared Farmer
Browns Boy, he wanted to see all
that was going on. He liked to
jump up on the bench where Farm
er Browns Boy sometimes sat. He
would climb up to where Farmer
Browns Boy coat hung and explore
the pockets of it. Once he stole
Farmer Browns Boys handkerchief.
He wanted to add to the material
his nest was made of. Farmer
Browns Boy discovered it just as
it was disappearing, and how he
laughed as he pulled it away.
So, what with eating and sleep
ing and playing about, secure in the
feeling that no harm could come
to him, Whitefoot was happier than
ever before in his little life. He
knew that Farmer Browns Boy and
Farmer Brown and Bowser the
Hound were his friends. He knew,
too, that as long as they were about
none of his enemies would dare come
near. This being SO, of course
there was nothing to be afraid Of
No harm could possibly come to
him. At least that is what White
foot thought.
But you know enemies are not
the only dangers to watch out for;
accidents will happen. When they
do happen it is very likely to be
when the possibility of them is
farthest from your thoughts. AL
most always they are due to heed
lessness or carelessness. 1t was
heedlessness that got Whitefoot
into one of the worst mishaps of his
whole life.
Whitefoot had been running and
jumping all around the inside of
the little sugar house. He loves to
run and jump, and he had been
having just the best time ever.
Finally Whitefoot ran along the
old bench and jumped from the end
of it for box standing on end on
which Farmer Browns Boy some
times sat. 1t wasn't a very long
jump, but somehow Whitefoot mis-
judged it. He was needless and he
didn't jump quite far enough. Right
beside the box was a tin pail, half
filled with sap. Instead of landing
on the box, Whitefoot landed with
a splash in that pail of sap!

Don't Take NY

BY FRANK COLBY.
Been

From Atlanta: Will you please
dispatch one of your choice Rhym-
o-grams to the broadcaster who in
sists on mispronouncing the impor-
tant word BEEN?-H. B.
Answer A good suggestion,
Thank you. Well send him a
Nursery Rhym-o-gram:
There is man in our town,
And he Is wondrous wise;
He jumps before a microphone,
And starts to agonize.
To BEEN he gives a British twist;
In manner quite serene,
Our communicating analyst
Must call the poor word BEAN" :"
Or else he mispronounces
The word to rhyme with PEN;
A very common error, too.
It never should be BEN"
The dictionaries all aver
Of we'd but look therein),
Best usage in America
Is BIN" to rhyme with PIN.
From Columbus: The papers
speak of 1900, 900 troops" How many
soldiers does this mean?-N. F. o.
Answer-In this sentence troops"
means, not a unit, as battalion,
but soldiers collectively. Hence,
"200,0 900 troops" Is simply another
way of saying 5000 soldiers"
Why is this sentence incorrect:
"T would be glad to come? Send
for my free, non-technical key to
the correct use of SHALL-WILL,
SH0ULD-WOULD. 1t Is used by
many schools and colleges. Send
care of The Evening Star. Ask

F. D. |. {. Interest Claim
Opposed by Receiver
Nv the Associated Press.


SALISBURY, Md, Aug. 25.-
State Bank Commissioner John w.
Downing, receiver of the closed Bank
of Nanticoke, will oppose in Fed
eral Court a s4.400 suit brought
by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. seeking interest on money
loaned before payment is made to
holders of the banks income capital
debentures.
Mr.. Downing said he would con-
test the F. D. I. C.'s action in the
interest of the banks debenture
holders.
In its petition the F. D. I. c. al
legged that after the bank suspended
operations October 4, 1910, it paid
the claims of all insured depositors.
Total claims amounted to s143,-
41863. The F. D. I. C. asserted
that of that amount it received
s107,21495 last March and s429l09
last April through liquidation of
the banks assets.
The F. D. I. c. declared its claim
had prior rights to the proceeds of
the liquidation over the payment
to debenture holders.
The suit was instituted in OBJ
lection to court order filed in
July authorizing payment of so per
cent-or S4,600-to holders of the
banks capital debentures.

Arizona Copper Miners
Given Wage Increase
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DOUGLAS, AriZ., Aug. 25.-A
wage increase of so cents day was
granted more than 10000 Arizona
copper miners and smelter workers
today by the States major pro-
ducers.
Harrison NJ. Lavender, general
manager of Phelps Dodge Corps
Arizona properties, estimated it
would mean s2,5oo,000 a year in ad-
ditional wages.
The increase. effective September
l, was announced by Phelps Dodge,
Miami Copper Co., Inspiration Con-
solidated Copper Co. and Interna-
tional Smelter.
Recognition and anticipation of
the rising cost of living prompted
the increase, Lavender said. A 25-
cent-a-day raise was granted March
% for the same reason. Miners
wages will average $3.50 day when
the increase becomes effective.

Wabash Plan Giving
Control 10 Pennsy
Is Approved
Federal Judge Asks
Receivers to Take
Necessary Steps
BY the Associated Press.

e ST. LOUIS, Aug. 25.-A reorgan-
ization plan for the Wabash Railway
Co. which would enable the Penn
sylvania Railroad to acquire stock
control was approved today by Fed
eral Judge Charles B. Davis.
Judge Davis, who has jurisdiction
over the road during the process of
reorganization, requested the re-
ceivers to take the necessary steps
to place the plan in operation.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission approved the plan on August
6 and authorized the Pennsylvania
to acquire control, saying it was
desirable from the standpoint of
an amalgamation of weak and strong
roads"
Under the plan the line will be
known as the Wabash Railroad Co.
and will have a total capitalization
of S192, 2,647,795, reduced from $780,
1926. It's annual fixed interest
payments will be reduced from ST.
391 1862 to S2,558,418.
The reorganization makes no pro-
vision for participation of present
stockholders. 1t has been approved
by creditors and is to be effective as
of January /, 1941. The road has
been in receivership since 1881.
Commenting on the Pennsylvania
control as provided in the new plan
the I. c. c. said that termination of
the receivership under which those
properties are operated and placing
them in control of company with
reasonable capital structure and
with a definite prospect of earning
its fixed charges are matters Of sub
stantial public interest"
Judge Davis commented that par
ticipation of the Pennsylvania was
an integral part of the plan of reor-
ganization.

There is little expectation at

Pennsylvania Crude
23 to 25Cents
BY the Associated Press.

-
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 25.-Com.
plying with an order of Price Ad-
ministrator Leon Henderson, the
Joseph Seep Purchasing Agency OF
the South Penn Oil Co. today an
nounced a reduction of % to Is
cents a barrel in the price of Penn
sylvania grade crude oil.
The new prices, effective as OF Au- !,
gust %. the day Henderson issued :
the order, we're: Bradford District,
$275; Sou west Pennsylvania,
S2.40; and Eureka, s2.35. They repre-
sented cancellations Of increases an
nounced August IA.
Activities to Be Curbed. ri
In a statement accompanying the
price announcement, P. H. Curry,
president of the South Penn Oil
Co.. said:
"The price reduction will no doubt
have the effect of restricting in
stead of stimulating activities to in
crease the production of crude in
Pennsylvania, New York State, West
Virginia and Southeastern Ohio.
"A confirmation of this is wave
of protests that is being made by
producers and refiners"
In the past, Curry said the Penn.
sylvania crude prices issued by the
Seep Agency always had been based
on supply and demand. He added:
There is continuing heavy.
draft on stocks of Pennsylvania
grade crude. The Office of the
petroleum co-ordinator has been
emphasizing shortage of crude and
petroleum products on the Eastern
Seaboard of emergency proportions.
Price Limit Deplored.
Meanwhile, directors of the Brad
ford district Pennsylvania Oil Pro-
ducers Association at a conference
today termed extremely unfortun-
ate" the Governments decision to-
peg the price of Pennsylvania grade
crudes.
Mr.. Henderson's order reducing
the price of Pennsylvania crude is
extremely unfortunate" the pro-
ducers' statement said. The con-
sumer does not benefit and if the
order is carried through it can only
result in decreased drilling, de-
creased oil production and the low
ering of wages, which have just been
increased on the strength of the
price Mr.. Henderson has seen fit
| to cut" .
While s275 crude was go cents
higher than it was during August
of last year." the producers said,
1T also is true that it was
s2.82 on June 7. 1887. and no one
would claim that war demands had
anything to do with the latter price,
nor that it was inf1ationary"
Pennsylvania crudes. while form
ing only about two per cent of the
Nations total daily output, are
widely used in high-grade lubri-
cants.
