Springs A'Comin'

Something about the spring time
makes people happy. The passing
Of the short days and gloom Of
winter lifts burden off the heart
Where formerly people had fell
depressed and discouraged, the re-
turn OF the birds, the peeping up
of spring plants, and the swelling
Of the buds in the shrubs. stirs
them to a more hopeful view OF
life.
\ The poet said that in the spring
the young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love. Prob
ably the winter dragged a pail of
encouragement over the youths
heart. The return of the period of
growth and development makes
Him feel that he can take on the
burdens of marriage. and he pur-
sues after the girl of his dreams.
If people have an urge to write
down their thoughts and get some
Rewspaper to publish them, they
do a tremendous lot of scribbling
OF spring poetry. You could fill
many bookshelves with poems and
nature books written about spring.
Spring begins the season of
growth. When you see plants and
buds swelling. YOU have the feel
ing that all life is or can be a
growth. and that you can partici-
pate in it, and grow yourself into
something bigger, finer, and more
aghieving.
Alfred Tennyson called spring
the boyhood of the year. 1t is char
acteristic Of boyhood to dream of
future deeds, of scenes of happi-
ness, and to have faith that ones
life is going on to give us these
things. Spring tells us that nature
is again going to be lovely, that the
sun is going to pour out his ener-
gizing rays on our gardens. that
everything is going to become
greater and more beautiful, and
thai we too should take part in this
current of deveiopineht. and expand
our lives, just as the buds grow,
and blossom out into the gorgeous
flower.

Steady Tank Fire
Stimson Tells Plan
In Note Requesting
Bigger Appropriation

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is.
(UP)-(UP)-Secretary of
War Henry l.. Stimson dis
closed today that the army
is attempting to develop a
device that will enable tanks to
fire rapidly and accurately while
in motion.
He made. the disclosure in let
ter asking a congressional confer
ence committee to reinState for
this purpose at least part of the
$1,347 100000 the senate trimmed
from the first supplemental defense
appropriation bill. Acting quickly
on Stimson's request, the senate
house conferees reinstated $750,000. :
900. The measure had totaled $6,-
800,000,00O when the senate passed
it yesterday.
Stimson described the new device
as a gyro-stabilizer and power
traversing mechanism.
This device makes a stable fir
ing platform of the tank which,
without the device, is a very poor
firing platform" Stimson wrote
"The power traversing mechan-
isms for light tanks will enable the
guns of the tanks to be trained by
power rather than by hand"
Both devices, Stimson asserted
would reduce the vulnerability OF
the tank to enemy fire and will
greatly increase the effectiveness
of tank fire"
He added that the appropriation
also was needed to provide for 1.-THE
possible creation of armored divi-
sions or other mechanical units in
addition to those organized or
planned"
Part of the funds, Stimson point
ed out, were to be used for anti
tank and antiaircraft guns. He said
that the lessons of the European
war demonstrated that a density
of fire is required in combat greater
than that which the army can now
provide"
He asserted that the army wish
ed to procure enough 47-inch anti
aircraft guns to defend the most
vital areas"

Husband Held for
Numbering Wife
Cant Remember

OAKLAND, Cal, Aug. Is. (UP)-
Mrs. Nellie Eggleston, 28-year-old
mother, was found shot to death
today and police held her husband,
frail 10O-pound salesman who said
he might have shot her but didn't
remember
In a cell at Oakland prison, the
husband, Byron Eggleston, told a
reporter he didn't know what hap
pened.
Il just got out of the hospital,
Eggleston said. I've been sick and
sometimes my memory fails me.
Il didn't have an argument with
Nellie. We never quarrel. I wish
had shot myself instead"
Police were uncertain of the time
the shooting occurred. The body
was found this morning by rela-
tive when Eggleston parked the
family automobile at his mothers
home.
Police said he and his wife left
the home of friends, Mr.. and Mrs
H. T. Kuhlman, about 1890 O'Clock
last nIg,--, with Mrs. Egglestor
driving the car. That was the las,
seen of them until Eggleston drove
up to his mothers home at 4:3(
am.
Mrs. Eggleston had been shot ir
the back.

Maintenance of the eastern front
against renewed German drives and
checkmating any japanese move to
interfere with war air to Russia
probably were emphasized in the
Joint message which the two Demo-
cratic leaders sent to Josef v. Stain.
The message was said in London
to pave the way for dispatch OF
high American and British missions
to discuss both short and long
term aid plans with the Soviet lead
srs at Moscow.
Authoritative comment in Lon
don indirectly warned Japan to
avoid any attempt to interrupt
British American war shipments
across the Pacific to Russia because
Britain intended to do her best"
to deliver them regardless of any
blockade of Vladivostok.
British authorities put greatest
emphasis on the parts of the Roose-
velt- Churchill talks dealing with
aid to Russia and irecautions
against a Japanese move in the
far east, although the presence of
high naval officers at the confer
ences illustrated the attention given
to still greater improvement in
methods of protecting British con-
voys in the battle of the Atlantic.

German claims of "ceaseless pur-
suit" of the Red army in the
