America are now among my most
priced possessions.
I also own items from various
places in the United States, such as
Chicago, Niagara Falls, San Fran
cisco, Hollywood, New York and,
of course, Washington.
My elephants are designed to
serve many different purposes. Some
are merely souvenirs and make at
tractive decorations, while others
are vases, or charms for bracelets.
incidentally, they are not all gray,
the color of real elephants. My as
Sortment includes blue, pink and
green miniatures, either machine
made or carved by hand.
I think elephants are very inter-
esting to collect, and I thoroughly
enjoy my hobby.

lust Between

BY Philip H. Love

I don't expect anybody to be-
lieve this. but it's true, every word
Of 1t, cross my heart and hope to
miss tomorrow's installment Of
4Buz Sawyer:
I walked to the end Of the rain
bow the other day, and what they
say about q pot of gold just isn't
true.
A brief shower had just ended.
and I was looking out of the
window of my office. The rain
bow was beautiful, and I gazed
at 1t for several minutes before
noticing that 1t curved down In
front of the Pepco Building and
ended near the center Of the inter-
section of Tenth and E streets
NV.
Then I became so excited that
I could hardly walk. I had to
exercise every ounce of will-power
that I could summon to keep from
running.
"The end Of the rainbow" I
thought. Less than two blocks
away. Right in the middle of
Tenth and E-pot of gold and ALL
The rainbow was still visible
when I turned the corner Of
Eleventh and E. AS I moved toward
Tenth street, however. 1t began to
fade. And by the time I reached
the intersection, it had gone.
But I had carefully noted the
point at which it touched bottom,
and 7 knew that one of two things
was certain:
(a) The pot of gold had been
discovered, in which event there
would be considerable excitement
at the corner, or -.
(b) The pot of gold was myth.
X X x Il
There was not the slightest sign
of excitement at the intersection.
There we're plenty of people, OF
course, but they were all going
about their business, obviously un-
aware that untold fortune was
under their very noses.
I could not walk out into the In
tersection at once, because of the
traffic. And from the curb, 1 could
see nothing that even remotely re-
sembled a pot of gold.
Finally, the traffic slackened bit,
and l picked my way out Ito the
center of the intersection. There
was no pot, no gold-nothing, in
fact, but a cigarette stump.
I didn't bother to pick it up.y My
sense of irony, for which I am often
thankful, told me what brand 1t
would, inevitably, turn out to be.

is that the Japs had before attack

that were by far the most powerful
in the world. Their full load dis
placement-a stores, crew

were armed with nine 1871 inch guns
that fire 1920 pound shells with a
range of % miles. By contrast our
Missouri class battleships were about
$4,000 tons, full load displacement,
and carried 16 inch guns firing
shells a thousand pounds lighter.
Somehow the Japs failed to capitalize
on their huge Naval superiority

definitely turned at Midway the next

was kept hidden until we landed
on Okinawa and then was sent out
on a suicide mission to wipe out
our fleet. Our carriers met her as
she came out of the Inland Sea and
in a few hours she sank. Neither
succeeded in firing her big guns in
real action. 1t was one of those mon
sters that threatened San Bernardino

as much as we could of the Leyte

The Telephone Company is about
to ask for an increase in rates. Part
of the reason for asking is a nearly
two million dollars increase in an

have extended the lines so that more
telephones are available to every
subscriber and are continuing ex-

f1l9neSp privilege OF CltlZen
is the right to vote. A chief duty is
to exercise that privilege. This
summer all the county officers will
be up for election. You will not be
allowed to vote unless your poll tax
is paid. This Saturday is the last
day you have to pay, it must be
paid on or before February LIST.
''MGrch of Dimes" Belittles the
cause for the campaign. Polio-what
we used to call Infantile Paralysis is
a highly disabling disease and no one
knows just how it attacks. No one is
immune, so far as known, and the
cure is difficult and expensive. The
funds to be collected in the March"
is used for research and treatment
No one who is attacked will go
without attention, regardless of the
ability to pay for it. Those able are
expected to pay, those who are not
able to pay will be treated just
the same But dimes will not any
where near take care of the need
says DR.. Weeks. If each man, woman
and child in the nation gave 10 cents
there would only be two-thirds of
the amount required for the coming
year. So in each community devoted
ladies have accepted assignment to
canvas their communities for the
fund. All of the ladies are giving up
time and pleasure and thought to
the drive so of course the amount
assigned to the county will be
raised. But it should be March of
Dollars" at least. The ladies have
been and will continue to be well
received and meet a generous re-
