Today I am going to tell you a
story about a boy who broke a
window once upon time. Even
though use the words "once upon
D time" it's true story and at the
end I shall tell you how l know.
The boy was IL years old. He
was careless about the way he threw
q stone and 1t struck a window
one made of costly plate glass.
The father of the family was q
rust man and punished his children
only when they deserved it. His
three sons, sad to say, had broken
too many windows by being care
less and the boy felt sure he had
something coming, spanking which
he would feel.
Suddenly an idea came to him
He Slipped upstairs to his room and
put an extra pair of trousers over
the ones he was wearing. Then he
pat on a third pair and fourth.
The fourth pair was a good deal
larger than the others, so it covered
them well.
Whippings in that family were
never with sticks or switches. They
were given with the fathers good

right hand. Yet the boy had
another idea of something which
would add touch to what he was
planning to do. He stepped out
side and cut a willow switch from
a tree.
Then, returning to the house, he
went to his father and held up the
switch. saying, Lick me, dad, I de-
serve it," The father thought he
did deserve it. Brushing aside the
switch, he spanked hard enough so
it should have hurt.
1t didn't hurt. though, and at the
end the boy retired behind some
bushes where he laughed as he
thought of the little joke he had
played.
Later the boy, of his own thought,
decided to earn money to pay for
the window-pane. He found 1t
would cost IS or Sc. Without telling
his parents what he was going to
do, he called at many homes and
obtained orders for vanilla, lemon
and other extracts used for flavor
ings. Then he sent the order to
another city, obtained the extracts,
delivered them and earned the sum
needed He felt better after he gave

I promised to tell how I know the
story is true. Perhaps you have
guessed that I was the boy who did
those things. At this day I'm sorry
I broke the window. but am glad I
earned the money to pay for it
I kept the clothes feature secret
from my father until I grew TO be

all about it. He laughed heartily

West led the queen of diamonds,
and East took the ace and returned
the deuce. South therefore realized
that East had started with only two
diamonds. Of East had held A-9-2,
for example, he would have re-
turned the nine)
Mr.. Jacoby took the king Of dia-
nonds, led to the heart ace, cashed
the club ace, returned with trump
to ruff his other heart, and then
drew trumps. At this point the slam
depeRded on running the clubs
without losing trick to the queen.
East had shown up with three
trumps, and two diamonds. 1t was
most unlikely that East had as
many as seven hearts, for he had
not bid two or three hearts over
one club; nor had he bid three
hearts over North's eue-bid of two
hearts.
So East's distribution was prob
ably three spades, six hearts, two
diamonds and two clubs. Acting
on this count, Mr.. Jacoby refused
to fnesse on the second round of
clubs-thus making his slam. At
the other table a club finesse was
taken and the declarer made only
10 tricks.

Michigan Seeks 10 Tax
Governmental Supplies
Ev the Associated Press.

Ev the Associated Press.
LANSING. Nov. 22.-Attorney
General Herbert j. Rushton has dis
closed he is preparing an opinion
that the State of Michigan is en-
titled to collect millions of dollars
OF sales taxes on materials sold to
contractors doing work for State,
Federal and local government.
The State Board of Tax Admin
istration requested the opinion after
the United States Supreme Court
held recently the tax could be COL
lected on sales of materials used in
the construction of national defense
manufacturing plants. Although the
plants became Federal property, the
court held that the contractor was
not q governmental agent. and re-
versed an Alabama Supreme Court
opinion declaring the purchases tax
exempt.
Walter F. Reddv, deputy managing
director of the State Board of Tax
Administration, said congressional
sources have estimated that to i'm
pose State sales taxes on materials
for defense effort would cost $50
100000, apparently In the theory
that contractors would include the
tax in their bids. Mr.. Reddy eSti-
mated that if this were true sales
tax revenues from such sources in
Michigan would approximate $5,-
100000.

Coal Act Repeal Move
Forecast by Conna|ly
t Strike Continues
Hearing Resumes Monday
On Bill to Extend
Authority Over Labor
BY J. A. OLEARY.

Senator Connally, Democrat. of
Texas warned striking miners today
if they continue to obStruct national
defense work Congress may be
urged to repeal the Guffey Coal
Act. passed in 1897 for the benefit
of the workers as we'll as the owners
in the soft coal industry.
This latest sign of the reaction
the coal strike is producing in Con-
gress came from the Texan as the
judiciary Subcommittee of which
he is chairman marked time over
the week end in the consideration
of a bill to strengthen the PreSi-
dents hand in dealing with defense
strikes.
Referring to the bituminous coal
law. which utilized the taxing power
TO bring about fair practice codes
in the marketing of coal, Chairman
Connallv declared:
Although I do not come from
coal-producing State, voted for the
coal bill now on the statutes. l had
voted against the former bill be-
cause of constitutional objections.
The Supreme Court held it uncon-
stitutional.
Cites Consumer Sacrifice.
Congress has especially and
financially aided the coal industry,
at the special insistence and request
of the coal miners. All of us are
paving more for coal than we would
but for the existence of this act.
We are making that sacrifice TO
help the coal miners. In our hour
of danger and crisis, the coal miners
are taking advantage of the Gov
ernment's critical posture to coerce
and extort further privileges from
the Government.
If the coal miners can't make
some slight sacrifice for their coun-
try in time of peril, the country
might well repeal the coal act
Senator Connally also made
known today his purpose to try to
have his new labor control bill ap-
proved by the special subcommittee
and by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee next week, in the hope of be-
ginning Senate debate December l.
Although the coal strike furnished
the impetus for the bill, it would
clothe the President with general
authority to take over any defense
plant in which labor trouble holds

Church Avoids Political
Invo|vements, Pope Says

BY the Associat ted Press.
VATICAN CITY, Nov. 22-Pope
Plus XII said today that the Cath
Ole Church had no desire to mix
into a controversy over different
political regimes, but intended to
serve as guide of consciences.'
The Pope's statement was made
at an audience with Ambassador
Llobet. new envoy to the Vatican
from Argentina, who presented his
credentials in the throneroom after
a 15-minute private conference with
the pontiff.
IF it is true" the Pope said, that
the church does not want to mix in
disputes about the opportunity, utll-
itv and earthly efficacy of diverse
temporal forms which are purely
political institutions or activities, We
may assume it is nonetheless true

There was one consolation of this

We told her our tale, then asked
her the same question.
-Four months" she replied, mat

And they still had TOO miles to
go! But they said good-by with
smiles, no complaints. -.
Our journey took 40 days and 40
nights.
The trip started in British tramp
