(shown here from the air), an army post 31 miles from Louisville. Into the vault will be transferred a
good portion of the billions In gold now held by the government In New York and Philadelphia. The struc
ture will be built In continuation of the policy of moving precious monetary reserves nwny from vulnerable
cities on the coast to more Isolated Inland territory.
DANNY FINDS A REFUGE
AS DANNY MEADOW MOUSE
anxiously looked this way and
that way for a place to hide from
Buster Bear, a sharp, squeaky voice
almost In his very ear made him
Jump. “What are you doing over
here. Cousin Danny? Aren’t you
lost?" said the sharp, squeaky
voice.
Danny turned quickly to find a
little round hole in the ground
"Now," Said Whitefoot, "You Have
Nothing to Worry About From
Buster Bear."
between the roots of the tree, and
just inside was the trim little bead
of bis cousin, Whitefoot tho Wood
mouse.
“Oh!" cried Danny, “Buster Bear
Is trying to catch me, and I don’t
know what to do.”
“Come in here," replied White
foot promptly.
Danny didn't need a second In
vitation. Lie darted in just as Bus
ter Bear reached the tree on the
other side. Buster promptly tried
again the trick by which he had
so nearly caught Danny. lie
reached a great paw around the
trunk of the tree and brought it
down swiftly. I$ut he was too late.
There was no one under that big
paw. Buster watched and listened,
but he saw nothing and heard noth
ing. Then he walked around the
tree to investigate. There was no
sign of Danny Meadow Mouse. But
between the roots of the tree was
a little round hole.
“Huh 1” grunted Buster Bear, and
began to dig furiously.
Now Buster Bear's claws are long
•nd stout and when he sets out to
dig he mnkes things tly. But Whlte
foot the Woodmouse knew all about
those great claws, and when he
made that little round hole he
made It right under the big roots
of that tree. It didn’t take Buster
long to find out that It was quite
useless to try to dig out Danny
Meadow Mouse. You see, those
big roots were In the way. So after
a minute or two of useless digging
Buster gave up. It was foolish to
waste time there when he might be
hunting for and finding sweet little
beechnuts. So, grumbling deep In
his throat, Buster walked off and
once more began to rake over the
leaves In search of beechnuts.
Meanwhile Danny Meadow Mouse
had followed his cousin. Whltefoot
the Woodmouse, along a little tun
nel among the roots that led him
some distance away from where he
had entered. It was a very nice lit
tle tunnel. Danny said as much as
he scampered along after White
font. Whltefoot was pleased but he
didn’t say anything. He Just scam
pered along and Danny followed.
After a while they came out In the
heart of a big. hollow stump.
“Now," said W'hltefoot, "you have
nothing to worry about from Bus
ter Bear. Tell me what happened
and what are you doing so fnraway
from home."

Tho Perfect Fool
Dear Mr. Wynn:
Every month, a club I belong to,
holds a meeting at which all the
members have to tell a story on a
subject which Is told us a week be
fore the meeting. The subject
for our next meeting Is: “The
Stingiest Man I Know.” Will you
tell me the stingiest man you ever
met? Yours truly,
O. COMM TEI.MEE.
Answer: The stingiest man 1
ever heard of was a man who fell
overboard and ns he was swimming
ashore a policeman hollered to him
that It was $50 tine for swimming
In that river and when the man
heard that he Just threw up his
hands and sunk.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
My wife and I had an argument
last night about the army. My wife
says, In order for a man to be
burled with “military honors" he
must be a captain, while 1 say he
must be a general. Which of us Is
right? Yours truly,
LEW TENANT.
Answer: You are both wrong.
In order for a man In the nrmy to
he burled with full military honors
he must be dead.
Dear Mr. Wynn:

COOK BOOK
OUTDOOR MEALS
AS PICNIC days are here again.
we turn to our lists of good
things which we have enjoyed and
plan a picnic lunch. Those who find
some food hard to digest will enjoy
them and have no discomfort when
eaten out of doors after a brisk
hike, or eve° a stroll through the
woods.
When packing a lunch, remember
to put In some of the foods that add
zest, such ns green onions, fresh
radishes, cucumbers and a few
pickles, sweet and sour Pickled
beets, onions, chow, are nil rel
ishes which are enjoyed with the
other food.
The sandwiches may be cut and
made Just before serving, with let
tuce, u slice of cucumber and on
Ion, as tilling. Caked bean sand
wiches are always enjoyed for a
hearty meal. Serve them with
sliced sour pickle.
Most picnic lunches are made up
of starchy and sugar foods. Somp
of these are needed but the alka
line foods will be needed or head
aches and Indigestion will result.
Fruits, green vegetables, celery,
tomatoes, are all good to combine
with the sandwiches, rolls and
cakes. Meats are acid forming
foods and should be used sparingly.
With the crisp lettuce carried in
a towel, well wrapped, add sliced
oranges or tomatoes or apples and
serve with a french dressing all
prepared and carried In a tight Jar
or bottle.
With all the disadvantages,
snakes, mosquitoes, poison Ivy, the
more we go on picnics, the more we
learn what to avoid and the more
pleasure we get from them.
Where there is a stream of clear
water or a spring, all the green
birthday Is next Saturday. I saw
a whisky llask, In a shop window,
which was made to look like the
seven of spades. Don’t you think
that is a cute present to buy him?
Sincerely,
LILY KDI’PS.
Answer: The present Is nil right,
but he’s ilable to leave it on a table
in some fraternity house, and some
other student might come along
with the eight of spudes and take It.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
I bought a new suit, the other
day, and the first time I put it on,
the coat split up the back. How
do you account for that?
Yours truly,

Answer: The buttons were
sewed on too tight.

A WOMAN’S EYES
THE BANDITS WASTE THEIR
TIME
A YOUNG “bandit” describing
a criminal career which will
put him behind bars probably for
the best part of tils life, announced
thut Ills whole “career," which In
cluded a number of robberies and
hold-ups, hud netted him only $50.
The stigma of crime, a medium
of harm to his fellow men, his life
ruined—for $501
The comment Is obvious that a
similar amount of Interest, en
thusinsm and effort expended on
constructive work would have
brought this deluded young man at
least a good living, peace, security,
respect. And It might have brought
him a good deal more. It might
have brought him success, leader
ship, distinction.
It Is the age-old story of trying
to get something for nothing. And
it is not only In the pursuit of
crime that we find constant evi
dence that this does not, pay, that
It leads always to tragic failure.
There are ways besides crime In

ways of attempting to get some
thing for nothing. These are ex
emplified perhaps more by women
than by men, for men are more
business-like and it is unbusiness
like to try to get something for
nothing.
It is always a waste of time and
energy. It never pays—this trying
to get something for nothing. And
In addition there is the unpleasant
feeling of dissatisfaction which
every normal person must feel with
the consciousness of “trying to get
away with something.”

A LITTLE NEW
SOUL
BY ANNE CAMPBELL
A LITTLE new soul came down
today
On a sunlit cloud, from far away.
She stole the blue from the morn
ing skies,
And a star for each of her pretty
eyes.
She grasped.at the dawn, and In
her Ungers
The rosy glow of the morning lin
gers.
A little new soul came down to lift
Our weary hearts with her hopeful
gift.
She brvished by the sun and plucked
Its gold,
And she brought God’s love for our
arms to hold.
A little new baby, with dreams In
her eyes.
Came to show us the pathway to
Paradise!

Senator Borah, one of the sen

Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, Jr.,

says America needs long-range sub
marines to protect our interests in
the Pacific.
Since 1918, when sweet peace re
turned, wise Japan, according to
Admiral Stirling, has built 04 sub
marines, including 27 of long range,
each carrying six torpedo tubes,
powerful guns, able to cross the
Pacific and return without refuel
ing. Japan has also a special fleet
of eight submarines for placing de
structive ocean mines, four of them
able to operate 5,000 miles from
their base. Each could place 45
bombs in the path of enemy ship

throwing the mother of his two
children into the water, kept push

she sank and drowned. This young
gentleman is 6 feet 4 inches tall,
but the electric chair can doubtless
be arranged to fit him.
You will hope that no tender

One chance to drown the mother of
your two children seems enough.
Rome reports Fascist excitement
because “Japan assumes the role of

Mussolini’s press says Japan sets
herself up as leader of Asiatic and

“the enemy of Kurope and Amer
