Mr, Attlee commanded a uhit ~in the original tank corps which first plowed its way through the Germans in. March, 1916, and he has been a "tank man' ever since, Indeed, the term "tank" is said to have originated with him in the previous December when he visited the factory where the vehicles were being made.

"So! Snooping again!" Kathleen observed. contemptuously. "You nasty, mean little girl?! 1 might have hurt myself bad!" was the infuriated governess' answer. "Badlys--not bad. The adverb-- not the adjectives" Miss Davis cor- rected with 'calm superiority. _ It was just more fuel to Mrs. 'Farrell's flaming rage. "I Jemand to "know," 'she shouted, "what It {3 you do every Saturday afternoon --where you go!" "Go ahead and demand--I won't tell you," the youngster replied defiantly. _ "Well, this Saturday you're "in for a big surprise, young lady," the governess raged on "I'm going to keep my eyes glued to this door!" "They'll look awtul silly," Kath- leen observed disinterestedly. * - »®- Mrs. Farrell fairly spluttered. "Either you mend your ways, miss, or I'm going straight to your father," she cried, "I'm going to tell him that after I've devoted years of my life to caring for his motherless child--" "1 wish. you'd stop calling me a 'motherless child," Kathleen in terrupted sharply. "It's true that smother died when 1 was horn-- but since I'm, oh, so terribly sorry, it's scarcely polite for you to keep reminding. me of it." "Well, never mind," went on the enraged woman, "I'm going to your father--and I'm going to tell him all'1 know about 'M.S. and 'Rudi'!" \ "You mean, mean snoop!" she "cried." "You've been reading my diary! 1 never told that to a single soul!"

Still others read: "Do Not Touch!", "Danger! Hands ofr!" * . . Only Kathleen knew that inside the box a couple of crepe paper snappers--party favors--had been glued to tho bottom and the string tied to the ends that had to be pulled to make the snappers "explode!" One of Mrs Farrell's traits was the same kind of persistence and determination which a marauding farm cat displays when he sits for hours in wait for a baby robin to try its feeble wings on its first perilous flight from the nest, True to her threat, Mrs, Farrell exer cised this trait that Saturday af. ternoon, She "glued her eyes" to Kathleen's bedroom door, Mot even her curiosity over the planted box could divert her. } -- 'I'he watcher saw her charge leave her chamber and enter the bathroom, She found the door un- locked when she tried it after what she considered a too-longelapse of time.

Her bicycle was there--not by accident. A few minutes later she dismounted in front of a little, grimy shop on a back street in-the village near her home. Mouths before she had been attracted by its windows crowded with antiques and junky articles waiting to be "swapped." This af- ternoon she entered hurriedly ---- to 'kecp an appointment she had duly entered in" her diary.

Out of the dark came a flash of white -- and a grotesquely trimmed circus poodle " catapulted himself into the little girl's arms! * * * After their custom, Kathleen, "M.S." -- and "Rudi" -- had a pleasant Saturday afternoon tea. More important than the cookies and hot chocolate he provided, was the sympathetic car the kindly Max lent to' his little visitor's fan- tastic conversation.

"Sometimes 1 don't see how she stands it," the brave little story teller went on. "That poor little girl --.her mother's dead --- she doesnt even remember lier . and her father's always so-busy." "But, your friend," ventured the sly old man, "doesn't she ever try to make friends with her father?"

In zero tempor ature, the average watch will lose ten seconds in twenty-four hours, and under a blazing sun it will gain ten, When you set your watch, ing the hands backward hurt it a bit, Only in clocks must the hands be forward.

German submarine warfare cub seriously into the available supply of refrigerator ships and refrigers ated space on general cargo boats, Refrigerator ships are costly to Luild, both in time, money and in materials and skilled labor need- ed for arms and munitions, Re- frigernting machinery takes up valuable cargo space. So the packers stepped in to provide a substitute method of shipping fresh foods. As a part of that search, they experimented with all manner of substances to imsulate shipments of frozen food. Frozen lard proved to be the best msulator: Fat-hungry Britain cries for lard, so thus we have not one bird, but a whole flock of traffic trouble birds, killed with one inventive stone, a packaging material that is it a food, War enters the picture of this latest triumph in preservation and transport ot food, But the stim- ulation of war has played a great part in the development of the food industries. The art of cane ning is a Napoleonic war baby, as are beet sugar and cheap soda. Oleomargarine is another food born in barracks.

He thought that the "mealie," if it could be delivered, would keep "the" King and Queen from going hungry for quite a long time.
