BUSTER BEAR was feeling lone
 D some. The truth is, Buster Bear had felt lonesome most of the time since coming down to the Green Forest from the Great Woods, where he used to live. Up there every body knew him, and they were so used to him that they were not so terribly afraid of him. They knew that as long as they kept out of his reach they had nothing to fear.
 So Buster was feeling rather lone some as he prowled through the Green Forest and had almost de- cided to go back to the Great Woods from which he had come. Presently he came to the pile of brush under which Peter Rabbit had hidden when he was chased by Reddy Fox, and as he walked around it found Reddy hiding. Reddy sprang away with a frightened yelp and sat down at safe distance. Then Bus

Three-Horned Chameleon

The three-horned chameleon grows to a length exceeding 12 inches and the males appear to re- tain some of the characters of the prehistoric Triceratops, with three curious horns an inch to an inch and-a-half in length, protruding for ward from the nose and between the eyes. These horns are used with extraordinary effect. The males are extremely pugnacious and fight fu- riously. At times the contests de- velop into a tedious pushing match, when the horns are interlocked. At other times a really vigorous fighter will dispose of its adversary in a few moments. The coloration of the males, chiefly brilliant blue, green and yellow, is particularly vivid and attractive.

"There must be something under it that they're watching for," thought he.
 up, Buster saw Hooty the Owl keep ing watch from a tall pine tree.
 Buster knew right away then that there must be something very spe- cial about that old brush pile for Reddy and Granny Fox and Old Man Coyote and Hooty the Owl to be so interested in it.
 'There must be something under it that they are watching for" thought he. Perhaps if I take hand and help them they will not be so afraid of me, but will be more friendly" So he walked around the pile of brush, sniffng
 Hal" said he. "So it's a rabbit dinner they are waiting for. I wouldn't mind a rabbit dinner my self" Then he began to chuckle You see, it struck him very funny to think how four such famous hunt CTS should be waiting around for just poor little Peter Rabbit. It would be great fun to play a joke on them. No one loves a joke bet ter than Buster Bear. And that put an idea into Busters head If you all will come up close so that whoever is under here cannot get away, I will pull over that pile of brush" said he, talking to no one in particular, but loud enough for all to hear.
 If whoever is under here is smart, and I guess he is, to keep you all here so long, he is going to get away when pull this brush pile over unless you all come closer" said he.
 Granny Fox looked at Reddy and came few steps nearer. Reddy

looked at Old Man Coyote and came a few steps nearer. Old Man Coyote looked at Hooty the Owl and came a few steps nearer.
 ''The one who is closest is the one who will be the most likely to catch that dinner you all seem to be wait ing for" said Buster.
 Granny Fox looked at Reddy and then she came up very near. Red dy looked at Old Man Coyote and then he came up very near. Old Man Coyote looked at Hooty the Owl and then he came up very near. Hooty the Owl looked at all three and didn't move. It certainly seemed as if poor Peter Rabbit hadn't chance in the world.

Persons Who Are Born Deaf

Persons who are born deaf grow up to be known as "deaf-mutes" not because their vocal organs are impaired. but because their deaf ness has prevented them from hear ing the sounds of their native lan- guage. Records show that about 8 per cent of the persons born deaf have had deaf parents, grandpar- ents or great-grandparents, notes a writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Deafness is sometimes started in families by the intermarriage of close relatives. If both parents are deaf, heredity statistics indicate that one out of every four children resulting from the marriage will also prove to be deaf.

Chintz a hundred years old.

'I have had the walls papered in a pale pink with a pattern of old time dark red and tan flowers. How shall I curtain the windows? There are two of them side by side. What use shall I make of the chintz?"
 How lucky to have that old chintz! I think it would do nicely for the bedspread.
 For the windows. could you get light blue window shades, then use sheer lace net curtains over them, looped in lovely wide swoops. Then if you could have a soft gray blue plain rug. that would be nice. You could use light gray-blue in quilted material for slip covers for a pair of easy chairs-if you've any red chintz left, you can add little fat round cushions of it.

and length of bloom. The same ap- plies to vegetables.
 Prepared in Illinois, this tiny gar den cost less than $l0 to plant in cluding the price of seed and ferti- lizer. Some of the vegetables were being eaten in 20 days. Flowers bloomed in 36 days. Full maturity of the garden was reached in about 80 days, and it lasted full seven months. Vegetables alone were val ued at $75, according to the market, and were of course much higher in quality because they could be used when needed and were garden fresh at all times.
 Prospective garden planters are urged to lay out their plot on paper before attempting actual spade work. This simplifies the work and gives much more effective results.

DONALD NELSON EXPLAINS
In his radio appeal for an imme-
date Is per cent increase in war
production, Donald Nelson an
nounced that joint management-la-
Dor committees would be set up in
every plant to devise methods of in
creasing output. There has been
considerable conjecture since then
over the scope Of these committees
whether they should run the plants
or merely be advisory. IN.
The other day Nelson explained
Just what he had In mind in q pri-
vate talk with Walter Reuther, force
full vice president Of the powerful
CLIO. United Auto Workers, who
more than a year ago proposed the
so-called "Reuther Plan" for the
quick conversion of the auto indus
try into a unified mass producer of
hundreds of planes and tanks daily.
While in Washington on union BUSH
ness after Nelson's broadcast, a mu-
tual friend suggested to Reuther that
he have talk with the War Pro-
duction chief whom he had never
met. Nelson greeted Reuther cor
daily, remarking that he had heard
a lot about his plan but had not
seen its details.
II can tell you all about them In
three minutes" said Reuther.
"Shoot," replied the war chief.
Nelson listened intently, asked a
few questions, then remarked: "Es-
sentially, your objective is the same
as mine. The only thing on which
we differ is the way to 60 about it."
'sHow's that?"
ssSimply this" said Nelson.
eve both want the auto industry
to make all the airplanes, tanks
and guns it can. Your plans
called for joint committees to
direct the conversion, with
government representative par
ticipating as a side-line adviser.
/ believe in doing it differently
one man for action and commit
tees for advice. That's why I
have one man, my representa-
tive, in Detroit directing CONVEX
sion, with the committees you
proposed advising him. It's your
plan only in reverse"
Nelson also told Reuther that he
hoped the joint committees would
take their work seriously and SUBJ
NIT every practical plan for increas-
ing production. However, Nelson
stressed that he and not the COM
mittees would decide ON the merits
Of the proposals, that the function Of
the committees was strictly s'ad-
visory.''
Note: After first approving the
Joint committee plan, Secretary
Knox later told Nelson he was OPP
posed because it would "Sovietize
U. S. industry" Knox commended
that management alone should do
the job. Nelson brushed aside Knox's
fears and declared that without the
full cooperation of labor the war
could not be won. 81 expect full CO.
operation from the navy on my
plan," Nelson said firmly, cor else.
And If you doubt my word there is
a man in the White House who will
confirm it for you.'

HULL AND THE ARABS

HULL AMI 4AAE kAkGk4O0
Shortly before Secretary Hull left
on his present protracted holiday,
Colonel Donovan had worked out a
plan to send an American Colonel
Lawrence" to visit the Arabs around
Dakar.
The idea was that just as Colonel
Lawrence had won the support Of
the Arabs for the British in the last
war, so the United States could win
over the Arabs in French West AT
RIGA, especially around the vital
base Of Dakar, the jumping off place
to South America.
So Col. Charles Sweeney, who has
had much experience with the
Arabs, was delegated to undertake
this difficult and important mission.
But when Secretary Hull heard Of
the Donovan plan, he hit the ceiling.
Calling Donovan into his Office, Hull
lectured him at length, declaring:
"You are trying to interfere with
the conduct of my relations with a
friendly country"
J Hull fatty refused to give Colonel
Sweeney passport. So no attempt
has been made to win over the
Arabs of West Africa.
Note: British intelligence reports
that three French warships sailed
from Dakar last month bound for
Madagascar. This will relieve the
danger to Brazil, but it may in
crease possible danger to British
U. S. shipping routes through the
Indian ocean to Suez and India; de-
pending on whether the French war
ships will protect Madagascar from
the British or from the Japanese.

With stewardship" as the
theme a day of Spiritual inspira-
ton was enjoyed by very repre-
sentative cross section of Church
and Community life in our city,
June II. The discussions in the
morning led by Mrs. Louise Holly;
Stewardship of Prayer, Mrs. Julia
Lewis; Stewardship of Money, Mrs
Cudellus Jackson; Stewardship of
Time, Mrs. Junita Nelson; Stew
ardship of Home was very effec-
lively closed by Miss I. Myrtle
Garden, who spoke on "The Stew
ardship of the Community. Among
the many outstanding points
brought out by Miss Garden was
the fact that "The work of Com
munity House, Church or other So
cial agencies for character build
ing will never attain it's goal until
the Stewardship of the home ar
rives at its peak and ideals are
mutual between home and said
agencies.
The devotions at the dinner ses-
sion were led by Miss Katherine
Roster, at one time a worker with
the Union Gospel Mission, now
working with the Gideonites. Her
subject, Starting the Home Right"
was very forcefully given through
Visual Aid.
This day of Service was closed
by Rev. Dorothy L. Sutton, pastor
of the Commonwealth Community
Church of Chicago, Ill. Her sub
ject, "She Hath Done Her Best"
The duties and life of the mother
in relation to her Stewardship were
very wildly brought out.
