this made it all the harder for him.
You know, there is nothing. which
can make you more uncomfortable
than to see some one else eating
when you are very hungry yourself
and have nothing. There they were,
Just out of reach, and he knew by
the way they acted that they
meant to keep out of reach. They
didn't know he was there. OF this
he was sure. But presently he was
equally sure that they didn't intend
to take any risks.
Still he remained hidden, hoping

Reddv Fox knows when other
people are too smart for him. Just
as soon as he saw that Mrs. Quack
was taking the greatest care not
to swim too near the shore of the
Smiling Pool, or to allow Mr.. Quack
to. he knew that she was wise in
the ways Of the Great World, too
wise to let her stomach steal away
her brains. as the saying is when
people allow the pleasure of eating
to make them needless and careless.

mispronounced. One amusing va
ration, heard occasionally on the
radio, is williams Shawn" But
the Nv" is pronounced ''v," the 81

pronounced IT," Say: Vill-helmss-

RUSSIAN PLACE NAMES are as
tough on newscasters as the cele-
brated Russian winter is on the
Nazis. One broadcaster writes,
You have given Voronezh as 'vah-
RAWN-yesh.' Donets as 'don-YETS'
and Smolensk as 'smahl-YENSK.
How can this be, since the names
contain no consonant 'y'?"
1t Is popularity of Russian that
"e" after I'd, l. n, t" and often at
the beginning Of syllables has ap-
proxlmately the sound of ''ye," as
in yes, yet. Thus, the three fore
going pronunciations are correct.
Accordingly the I'VE" sound occurs
in such names as Dnepropetrovsk
tD'NYEP : roe pyeh TRAWFSK)
viethsk (VEE-tyepsk) and in the
Russian pronunciation of Leningrad
Qyeh-neen-GRAHT).
Likewise the "ye" is heard in the
names of the important rivers, the
Dnepr and the Dnestr, as: DNYEP-
er and D'NYES-ter. The English
forms are spelled "Dneiper" and
'Dniester, and are pronounced:
NEE-per and NEES-ter.

will become increasingly stronger in
the next few years as a result of
the model law drafted by the Pub
lie Roads Administration. States
having such laws at the present
time include: New York, Rhode
Island, California, Connecticut,
Maine, West Virginia, Colorado,
Maryland, Ohio, louisa and Vir-
gina.
"Other important developments
included: the adoption of safety
responsibility law in Utah, and
amendment of existing laws in In
diana, Oregon and Michigan; the
granting of extraordinary wartime
powers, including the authority to
regulate highway transportation, to
the governors of several states; the
easing of compulsory inspection re-
quirements in a number of in
stances; lowering of chauffeur's age
restrictions to cope with the, man
power problem; and the anaction in
some states of legislation relieving
members of the armed forces from
the necessity of renewing opera
tors licenses for the duration OF
the conflict.
Excluding from consideration
certain enactments which are tenn
porary in nature, it can be said that
the legislative and taxation prin-
ciples affecting motor vehicle oper-
alton and use as enunciated by the
American Automobile association t.nd
it's affiliated clubs over a period
of many years are making continued
definite progress" Mr.. Kennedy

lating the few voluntary civilian
laws" asserted the chairman.
when the federal officials inves-
tigated our sanitation grounds and
observed the cans that we're piled
there - tin cans that people forgot
to salvage, or were just plain lazy
to do so, the officials were quite
discouraged" he added.
Il do hope when the employees OF
the street department make their
rounds early tomorrow morning, they
will find gratifying results" he added
hopefully.
Tin cars will be collected on
streets south of East and West Main
streets by employees of the street
department under supervision OF
Street Superintendent Herbert H.
Scott Smith tomorrow morning be-
ginning at 7 o'clock. Donors are
asked to set cut their collections On

the gasoline shortage, no repeat

tomorrow's collection will bring up

War and postwar problems pre-
dominated on the agenda of the
fourty-four state legislatures which
met In regular session this year, &C
cording to Harry B. Kennedy, presi-
dent Of the Connecticut Motor club.
"A report from A. A. A. National
Headquart tiers states that the maj
GRITTY OF the staet legislative bodies
have adjourned" said Mr.. Kennedy,
and that certain definite trends
are evident in the bills which have
been enacted into law.
Planning for postwar work fea-
tured many of the legislative pro-
grams: Arizona, Michigan and North
Carolina. In addition, the pro-
lection of highway funds, so that
they may continue available for
postwar maintenance and con-
struction, received considerable at
tention. Proposals for i-diversion
constitutional amendments were ap-
proved in four states: Maine, New
York, Pennsylvania, and Washing
ton. The Maine and Washington
measures will go to the voters at
the next general elections, and
those of New York and Pennsyl-
vania will be put up for ratifi-
cation after receiving the approval
of another legislature. 1t is an
ticipated that these states will swell
the total of anti-diversion consti-
tutional amendments to 49," he
continued.

Washington, July - CUP) -
Congress started two-months
summer vacation today but its in
vestigation of the administration S
conduct of the war at home and
abroad took no recess.
The senate, through special
committee, began a globe-circling
'look -see' into conditions on the
worlds battlefronts, while the house
authorized excursions which could
span the length and breadth of the
domestic front.
Committees of both the house and
senate were given wide authority to
wander in gathering information for
submission to congress when it re-
turns September IA.
In addition. there will be plenty
of action during the interim by
committees remaining in Washing
ton to inquire into the administra-
TONS policies on war expenditures,
production, economics, communica-
tons and rationing.
Nor will the postwar situation
be overlooked by the congressman
during their period of collective in
activity. Authorized and unauthor-
lied groups from both houses plan
to use the recess for extensive
stamping tours and Investigations in
connection with the more specific
recommendations on policy after
war.
The most extensive investigations
were scheduled by the senate. which
authorized the battlefront tour with
Senators James Mead, D., N. Y,
and Ralph o. Brewster, R., Me,
representing the Truman committee;
Senators Albert B. (Happy) Chand-

more must provide it for them
selves. The government will pay
transportation charges on their
own furniture, but only one way,
and this camp is supposed to be
merely temporary.
FOOD COST IS Low
There are IL such barracks in
each block, plus mess hall which
seats $50 persons; a combination
bath house, toilet and laundry
house; q recreation hall unfur-
nished except for what the evac-
uees provide for 1t.
Food is provided at an outlay of
from IS to 40 cents daily per per-
son. (The Army allowance is IS
cents a man,
There are a nursery, a grade
school and a well-equipped STAN
ward field hospital, all of which
are operated largely by evacuees
under supervision of a skeleton
Caucasian staff.
Nobody Is required to work,
Food, shelter and disqualification
are given to all. But those who do
work receive monthly clothing al
lowances of $3.50 each; and when
heads of families work, all men,
bers of their families receive al
lowances graduated down to 81

There has been ample work for
all who wanted it, and most have
chosen to take Jobs. Common la
Dor receives $12 a month. The
average evacuee worker is paid
SIG month, and one out of eight
is rated as professional or super
visory doctors, dentists, nurses,
teachers and key Office workers -
and is paid $40 month.
One complaint has been about
the amount of food provided for
evacuees at a western camp. What
ever may have been the situation
there, at Jerome rationing rules
are respected, and even before ra-
tioning the allowances of sugar
coffee and meat were below the

Great britain BEGAN clearing caA
fon-residents from her barricad-
ed coastal areas today as con-
viction gripped the nation that
the hour is near for a powerful
new blow at Adolf Hitler's Eu-
ropean fortress.
Invasion talk was heard ev-
erywhere amid cries in both
Britain and Russia for speedy
opening of second front.
From every angle new moves
appeared directed at invasion,
but whether in the Mediterran-
can, the Balkans or across the
English Channel was the Allied
war chiefs secret.
Significant, however, we e
these developments:
1. Heavy and repeated Amer

in France-natural targets as a
prelude to any new offensive.
2. Declaration of a stage OF
siege in Norway by apparently
iittery German occupation au-
thorities.
3. Virtual isolation of Italy
