We note that it is predicted that
shirt tails will be Topped off by the
rationing shears and will be shorter
in the new crop of shirts. The
thought disturbs us. We have at
times had difficulty keeping in the
long tails. Now that they are to
be. shortened, We view with appre-
hension their coming. We are not
going to get unduly disturbed over
it because we know that every other
business man will be facing the
same problem, not only of keeping
his shirt tail in, but of losing his
shirt altogether.

The smartest thing that Italy
could do would be to withdraw from
the war. If she doesn't, just as
Churchill promised, she is going
to be devastated with bombs. Italy
has nothing to gain and much to
lose by continuing as Hitler's stooge.

there was a snap behind him. Chat
terer knew what it meant. The
little stub from which he had
jumped had broken short of close
to the trunk of the tree.
The first little ray of hope he had
had stole into Chatterer's heart.
There would be nothing now to
show Shadow the Weasel in which
direction he had gone. Chatterer
crept into an old nest of Sammy
Jays where he could watch and rest
and get his breath. He didn't have
to wait long. A long, slim form
came bounding along the ground in
long leaps. Chatterer trembled all
over when he saw It. It was
Shadow the Weasel. Straight to the
tree from which Chatterer had
jumped he went and up to the
place where the little dead stub had
broken of. There the trail ended.
Shadow ran up a little way above
and circled wholly round the tree
trunk. His nose told him that no
Squirrel had been there. Then he
returned to the place where the
little dead stub had been broken
OF and looked across to the tree in
which Chatterer was hiding.
Poor Chatterer! He knew by the
look in those fierce red eyes that
Shadow wasn't fooled. He knew
just where he had gone and he
didn't wait to see Shadow run down
the tree and across to the one in
which he was waiting. No, sir, he

OF late wears, the black walnut
again has been planted for it's
beauty and fruit on home grounds.
Once more it stands guard at the
corner of a home or dwelling, on
the lawn or along the rich bottom
lands of an estate.
The year round you can admire
the black walnut. During the win
ter, the sturdy crown, the dark,
deeply grooved bark, the stout
twigs and the large gray, downy
terminal buds make it quite easy
to identify. The black walnut al
ways has worn three VS.; you will
find them where the smaller downy
buds are located, slightly above a
heart-shaped, three-lobed leaf scar.

young, tender leaves begin to push

abundant pollen, are on the wood

female flowers, which will later
produce the fruit, are on the new
growth. Both are yellowish-green
and slightly fragrant.
During the summer. the leaves
furnish shelter for the birds when
night falls or sudden storms arrive.
The limbs Of the tree grow high on
the trunk, so that grass or low
plants may thrive under 1t.
BY September or October, the
fruit will have matured. One is
surprised at the bountiful harvest

leaves have tumbled to the earth.
the large. round. green jackets of
the walnuts will be seen on the

The juicy yellowish- brown jacket

didn't wait. He had had a wee bit
of rest and a chance to get his
breath, and now he started on again
headlong as before, with the same
great fear clutching at his heart
and the little ray of hope quite gone
But that little trick had given him a
few minutes in which to rest, and
so presently he tried to think of
some other trick. though right down
inside he felt that 1t would be Of
no real use.
This time he tried crisscrossing
his own trail, running back and
forth and round and round all over
the branches of spruce tree, and
then once more ran on, this time
along the ground, until he came to
hollow log. He ran in at one end,
out to the other. back along the
outside Of the log and then did it all
over again finally making long
jump from the end of the log of to
one side. But he was so tired that
the jump was not nearly as long
as he had meant it to be.
And behind came Shadow the
Weasel. He actually grinned when
he reached the spruce tree and
found the crisscross trail. It didn't
bother him q bit. His wonderful
nose led him through every twist
and turn Chatterer had made and
he knew perfectly well that Chat
terer was growing very, very tired.

a Pass Pass Pass
The deuce of clubs was opened at
all tables. In most cases the South
players cashed the two high trumps,
hoping to drop the queen. Even
tually they lost three hearts and
trump for a one-trick set.
The successful declarers decided
not to guess about the right way
to play the trump suit Their plan
was to win the opening lead with
the club king, return a diamond
to the ace and lead another club
toward dummy When West fol-
lowed it seemed likely that the
opening lead showed a four-card
club holding This made it pretty
safe to ruff dummy's low clubs in
the South hand
Dummy took the third trick with
the club ace and returned a club
for South to ruff. Then South
led diamond for North to ruff,
after which South ruffed dummys
last club. South next led his last
diamond, dummy, ruffng. Then
dummy led a heart.
When the king of hearts lost to
Vests ace there still was nothing
about which to worry. The defend
ers could cash three heart tricks,
but then any lead would give South
free trump finesse. South's pre-
liminary cross-rufIlng had elm
mated the guessWork from the play
of the trump suit.

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

Chatterer the Red Squirrel had
no hope. He was growing tired and
more tired and still more tired as
he ran through the treetops, while
behind him came Shadow the
Weasel. At last he grew so tired
that he felt that he had just got to
have few minutes of rest. Perhaps
he could fool Shadow. Anyway he
would try. He ran down to the
ground, wiggled his way through a
big pile Of brush, hurried over to
another tree and started up. But
instead of going nearly to the top
as usual and then leaping across to
another tree he ran out on a little
dead stub OF branch only half
way up the tree and jumped straight
over to the trunk of another tree,
where his sharp claws caught in
the rough bark. And as he jumped

Obscure VoweIs

Springfield: What nonsense YOU
spread by such absurd pronuncia-
tions as sig -uh-ret, prop-uh- gan
duh, uh-tack" Any one. who can
read the dictionary can see that
where you grunt ''uh,' Webster's
shows the pure "ah" sound. But
perhaps you have never heard of
Webster-M. C.
Answer-Sorry, but you have erred
in three respects. % The symbol
"uh" is not the interjection ugh"
1t simply designates the obscure or
neutral sound of vowels in certain
words, and has been so used for CEN
turies by language experts. (2)
Webster's Cor any other dictionary
does not show "ah" in the words you
mention. If you will examine Web
ster's carefully, you will see that in
the respelling for pronunciation the
"a of cigarette. the first and last
"a Of propaganda. and the first "a"
Of attack are not Roman characters
like this: a. The "a" of these words
is an italic letter, exactly as "a"
appears in written script. Now
please refer to the example words
at the bottom of the page and note
that the "a of sofa (also the "e"
of silent, the 81" of charity. the 90
of connect, and the 'u' of circus
is an italic letter. 1t is thus that
Webster's indicates the obscure or
neutral sound of the vowel.
90 The use of obscure vowels in
unaccented syllables is neither igno-
rant nor corrupt. Webster's states
that the neutral vowel, as heard in
sofa, etc. lis heard in all styles of
cultivated speech" The Encyclope-
dia Britannica says: 1T is a deep
rooted characteristic of English to
obscure vowels in unstressed posi-
tions." The great authority, Phyfe.
wrote, "Vowels in the unaccented
syllables are more or less obscured,
and therefore approach the short
sound of u in but"

featuring, Sir Give said. resulted in
reducing the number of workers in
30 large-scale industries from a mil
lion 10 250,000. The other 100000
were put to work in war production.
1t also produced 100000 square
feet of factory space for war pur-
poses. of which 100000 are being
kept in reserve to carry on the work
of bombed factories.
Largely due to this program, he
said production of weapons has in

Everybody in the United Kingdom

income for war purchases.
Essential foods have been rationed
. approximately 20 cents worth of
meat a week and an egg a month
per person.
The American mass production
technique would be entirely insult
ed to England's present condition. he
said. but the idea has been appro-
priated in a different way. There
is no production line in single
mammoth building, like the Chrys-
Ter tank arsenal or the Ford Willow
Run plant at Detroit, which could be
wiped out by few bombs. Instead
chains of small factories in the same
general neighborhood with good
transportation facilities between
them have been organized into pro-
