He is "disabled from World war wounds and is "dead broke." "To Start Over Again." "But I'm not discouraged," he said. "I'm not giving up. I'm going to start all over again." ; Foster, who is 66, is taking his wife and two children, Beatrice, 11. and Willie; 10, to his native Cane.d« to collect a War pension. The fcr.i- • ily's mode of transportation is a homemade cart which is propelled . by hand. "We've been on,the road for more than 100 days," Foster revealed while here. "We've crossed 13 mountains, weathered all sorts of storms and never asked for help." He keeps a small Jin can fastened on the side of his cart with a sign, "Donations." Occasionally a stranger drops a coin in the slot. "One day," Foster said, "a Scotchman named McTiddler Came „.,\along and looked us over. By a - coincidence it happened that he served with the Canadian forces in the World war, in the same company of Highlanders that. I did. We had a long talk together and he gave ' me a dollar. ij Even Faces Ridicule. . "Some people make fun of us. But I do not let that bother me. I wonder how many of them would have the spunk to do what I am doing and keep pn after what I've been through." Five of his homes were destroyed successively by flood, hurricane and fire. In 1926 his Moorhaven (Fla.) home was devastated by a hurricane which killed his mother, daughters and sisters. His last home was destroyed at Key Largo, Fla., in 1935.

Pauline Jean Baker asked her father if he would mind if she rode her new bicycle to her aunt's farm at Ransomville. "Go ahead," said the father, believing that his daughter certainly would tire before she covered the 80 miles to Ransomville. Pauline started out in the after* j noon and at midnight she had not f returned home. Frantic with worry, the father asked the aid of police,' but when the girl could not be found he phoned the relative in Ransomville. "Yes, Pauline Jean got here and £he wasn't very tired," said a voice over the telephone. "She made the trip in seven hours." Taking no chances on Pauline - Jean making a new record on the return trip, her father drove to Ransomville and brought her back by automobile. j-MAUCZat SKMOV 36 Q. whin PlN5ttAUm> _ A.

Officer Clarence Renner's motorcycle caught fire when he slowed down after sounding his siren at a San Diego motorist speeding at 83 miles an hour. Rolling off his machine to avoid the flames, Renner picked himself up to find a woman passenger in the speeding car had fainted. After administering first aid, Renner dashed back to help others extinguish the fire. The upshot was he forgot to give the driver a ticket for speeding "Well, I guess that makes us' all lucky," Renner commented. "I was lucky to escape injuries and burns the woman was lucky I was there to revive her after she fainted and the driver was lucky I didn't give her a ticket." Oswald Piron, minister of defense for the Union of South Africa, whose current visit to Europe is said in London to be primarily concerned with the problem of defense. It is believed likely, however, that as a German-born minister and a colony representative, he will be called upon to present the African empire's view of the difficulties in the way of the German demands for colonies.

Insects usually have two pairs of wings, while spiders never have wings at all. There are many other features whjfcfi' distinguish spiders from insects.
