But he's getting a littJe tired. He'd just as soon not hear another story about the bed sailing around the room and Other furniture performing uncalledfor stunts which drove Mrs. Hardin and her two .children from home. Also, he's i little annoyed at the attention the entire town is giving the. reports, and the little helpful telephone calk he receives. Decker has been a peace officer fojr 20 years, and his narhe was re- V . -spected by the desperadoes he cap- •/ at various tim^s in their careers, Raymond Hamilton, Floyd ,"; • • :r Hamilton, Ted Forrest and Three- 3Gten:- Barffto'w.,- But not so with the ha'nts that haunt the Hardin home.

Locked doors unlocked themi selves. Tables tipped over. Vanity •• - dressers were turned over on their ' . backs--bu: very carefully. Nothing, not even a mirror was broken. Mrs. Hardin, almost hysterical, finally went home to her father. She * * took her two children, one of them almost as hysterical as she after a free ride on a "haunted bed." Her husband told officers that the 13-year-old boy awakened to find his bed "raised up off the floor and hanging in midair." A deputy sheriff spent the night 1 with Hardin. They decided to sleep outside, and carefully locked all the doors. Nothing happened, except all the doors were unlocked the next • morning. Decker listened to Hardin's complaints. A table had turned completely over and settled to the floor, bottom up. Beds flopped over. A water keg* did a back flip. A washing machine fell over. . c Strange Noises. ' V . Then Decker assigned two deputies to spend the night in the house. Th'ey didn't show up. Whatever excuses they gave made Decker mad, but he wouldn't talk about them. Hardin said everything was just as well. Nothing happened, except some strange noises. Finally the chief deputy went to the Hardin home to get away from his own telephone and the calls of the curious. He had to fight his way through a crowd that wouldn't Jjelieve the ghost was patriotic ^ enough to take the day off. For the 20th time the chief deputy Satisfied himself there were no hidden wires, no microphones, no me- I chanical devices. "I think someone is trying to pull my leg," said Decker. Three deputies, dispatched to the house earlier, rushed in to see ,if it was the ghosts. . %• "Nuts," said Derttfer. Early in the 19th century a itore keeper and Sistmill operator at enderson, Kentucky, took to studying birds as an antidote for an- ,nui and added much to man's knowledge of ornithology.

Smith of the state penitentiary hospital here, volunteered to be "fox" in a simulated night time man hunt. Eight trainers and their dogs beat through t^e bush on his trail. At a road all the dogs were stumped. The dog sergeants *feave up too. They could find evidence of a stray cow but the man appeared to have disappeared in air. Dr. -Smith was found fast asleep in his bed at the hospital. Awakened, he explained he had taken to stilts at the point the hunt failed. fThe bottoms of his stilts were carved to resemble the hoofs of • cow.

Lift Limitations on Highway Transports Limitations hampering transportation of vital war materials on the highways have been largely eliminated through legislative action or by executive order of governors in the various states this year. In some cases restrictions were lifted only for the duration of the war; in others abolished permanently. Several legislatures left existing laws untouched but authorized certain state officials to suspend limitations, the Council Of State Governments said. In Michigan the governor, commissioner of state police find the state highway commissioner may suspend limitations. Similar powers were given state officials in North Carolina and North Dakota.

W E WEES looking forward to a wonderful week-end at Anita's. Her family, the Harpers, opened their place at the shore early in May and kept it open until late in October. Of course we couldn't go bathing at the ends of the season, but it was lots of fun being invited before and after the crowds swarmed down in July and August. Anita and I were in college together-- we'd been close friends before we went, even. There was a younger daughter, Sally, at boarding school, and two boys, Tom and Bob, away at college. So with four children away at.school, Mr. and Mrs. Harper thought they might just as well be at the shofe, which they both loved. There was a child--we called her the Pest when nobody was listening. She was ten--Joan. And they just shifted her back and forth from seashore school to town school whenever they moved. She was 'more or less dumb, anyway. I mean she never got very good marks. Well, it was my first week-end for the season at the Harpers'. College was just over--we Freshmen didn't have to stay for commencement. Anita met me at the station. "There's a dance tonight at the yacht club on the bay," said Anita, buzzing along the beach road. "It's the first of the season. We're going." "Hot chat" I answered. 1 T'fJob'H be here at six. He's flying home from college to get here in time to take you." I giggled. When we reached the Harpcg place everybody was trying to' taut at once. There had been a *tel£ gram from Bob: "Plane delayed for repairs. Arrive too late for dance. Love. Bob." It was most exciting. Bob is a perfectly swell person, and though I was awfully sorry he wouldn't be there for the dance, it was fun to think he was having all this difficulty just trying to keep a date with me. "Mother!" It was Joan--the Pest. "Mother, the butcher's boy said-- you know, mother, that fat one with freckles. Ijpnet him down by the beach and he said--" "Oh, Joan, do keep quiet," said Mrs. Harper. "You've been trying to tell me about the butcher's boy for ten minutes. Can't you see we're busy? Run along and play. The butcher's boy will keep." "But, mother, the butcher's ,boy--" "I know, I know, infant," said Anita. "But we've no time to listen to the charmer's words. We've got to collect another man for Betty from a none too big supply. So many people haven't come down yet. Let's see--there's Jerry Wharton. How about Jerry, Bet7 Will he do? Or we might call in the butcher's boy." "Jerry'll do," I answered. "All right. We'lnhop in the car again and go ask him if he's looking for a lovely lady in shaded gray chiffon." We found Jerry playing tennis. He'd been looking for a lovely lady in shaded, gray chiffon ever since he was born, he said--if it was the right lovely lady. He'd been planning to go stag--because, he added, he'd thought I'd be taken. Jerry's nice. So with all that fixed up we wen1 home again and got dressed. There was a gang at dinner. We had lots of fun. But whenever there was a lull in the conversation that pestiferous Joan WQuld start in about the butcher's boy. She was well called the Pest. "I don't see," said her cousin Spafford importantly, "why you interrupt all the time, Joan." "I don't," she said. "But in this house nobody never gives me a chance--" "Oh, Joan." Sally looked disgusted. "Nobody everl" "Well, nobody not ever, then," said Joan sulkily. "But the butcher boy said--" We all roared. We w$re lingering over coffee and cigarettes--the dessert was done. "Joan, baby," said her father, "you and your little friend ask mother to excuse you, and run out and play a bit." It was about an hour later. Jerry and I had just about stepped into his car when one of those rickety seashore taxicabs came rattling up to the door. Out jumped Bob. I almost hugged him, I. was so glad to see him. "I made it, didn't I?" he said. "I'll be ready in a jiffy, Betty." He looked as . if he pretty much felt as I did. Then he noticed Jerry Whar ton, acting as if he owned me. "You got my message, didn't you? You see, the pilot told us, when he brought us down for refueling, thai --there was a leak it would take a long time to fix up. So I telegraphed. Then, in a couple oi hours, he got it fixed, and told us he'd start right away. I tried to telephone--but I couldn't get you. But I got *he butcher--you know. Pfeiffer's? And he said he'd let you know. Didn't he?" There was a dead silence for a moment. Then Joan's aggrieved voice spoke. "That," she said, with dignity, "is, what I've been trying to tell you. The butcher's boy--you know, the one with the dish-shaped face and the freckles, that toes in--well, he said Bob'd be home and to wait." < il a WlaNuld Ki-m -tmpm CHATTERER HAS HIS LAUGH OAMMY JAY had not been up to ^ the Old Orchard for several days, and Chatterer the Red Squirrel was beginning to wonder if Sammy had grown tired of corn. But Chatterer had learned that it always is best to be prepared; so, every mortiing when* he visited Farmer Brown's corncrib he brought a generous supply back to the Old Orchard and hitf it in several secret places in different parts of the old stone wall and some in a certain hollow in an old apple tree; Chatterer couldn't quite believe that Sammy had given up all hope of making him more trouble, so he meant to be prepared. So when Sammy did appear early one morning Chatterer was not in the least surprised. Now, when Sammy first made Chatterer promise to get corn for him whenever he wanted it, Sammy had thought only of the easy way it would be tp get all the corn he wanted without working for it. Afterward, he had thought more of the fun of seeing Chatterer in trouble getting it; so, when Chatterer had at last found a way of always having the corn ready without running any risk at all, Sammy had spent all his spare time trying to think of some way to upset Chatterer's simple plan. He had noticed that Chatterer always got the corn for him "1 believe I will," replied Sammy, also pretending to bo very polite. from a certain hiding place under the stones of the old wall. All in a flash a plan had popped into his head --a plan to give Chatterer such a fright that he would not dare visit that hiding place again in a hurry. "Good morning, Sammy Jay," said Chatterer, pretending to be polite. "I had begun to think that you were tired of corn. I have some veiy nice corn ready for you. Will you have some this morning?" "I believe I will," replied Sammy, also pretending to be very polite. "It is very nice of you to pick out the best corn for me, and the very thought of it. makes me hungry. I believe I would like some this very minute." As he spoke he turnfed his head to hide a grin, for, thought he, "of course, Chatterer'will go straight to that hi4ing plad in the Old Stone Wall and then we shall see some fun." He glanced hastily in that direction and he saw a patch of red half hidden behind the wall, and he knew that it was the red coat of Reddy Fox. Reddy was hiding just where Sammy had told him to. Now, Chatterer had been doing some quick thinking. He remembered the sharp tricks Sammy had played on him before, and he didn't have the least doubt that Sammy had planned another. "Of course, he expects me to go straight to that place where he knows I have hidden corn for him, and, if he has planned any trouble for me, that is where it will be," thought Chatterer. "I think I'll get the corn from one of the hiding places he doesn't know about." With that Chatterer ran swiftly out along the branch of the tree he was in, leaped across to another tree, and then to a third, the one in which was the hollow in which he had put some of the corn. In a few minutes he was back, with his cheeks stuffed full. Sammy Jay pretended to be very much pleased, but he ate it as if he had lost his appetite, as, indeed, he had. You see, he was wondering what he should say to Reddy Fox, to whom he had promised a chance to catch Chatterer. He knew that Reddy would think that it was all one of Sammy's tricks. So, without waiting to finish all the corn, Sammy politely said good-by and flew away to the deepest part of the Green Forest. "Ha, ha, ha! Ho, ho, ho!" laughed Chatterer, as his sharp eyes spied Reddy Fox trying to creep away without being seen. "Ha, ha, ha! Ho, ho, ho! It's my turn to laugh. Ha, ha, ha! Ho, ho, ho!" Plropei ly Tax Relief ^ Granted to Sci t icemen Tax relief legislation enacted for the benefit of servicemen by the various states this year includes a substantial number of measures covering the property tax field. < State legislatures granted real and personal property tax exemptions up to a certain amount or on certain types of property; frequently deferred collection of all taxes until after the war without interest or penalty; extended homestead exemptions, in many cases relaxing the residence requirement; and granted special protection to tax-forfeited land owned by servicemen or their families. Property tax exemptions bf $1,000 were granted servicemen this year by Connecticut, Idaho and Nevada, while New Hampshire allowed exemptions of $3,000 for totally disabled veterans, their wives or widows. New Hampshire in 1941 granted servicemen exemptions of $1,000 on their property provided the taxable property was not worth more than $5,000. Mississippi made tax exempt the homes owned by men in the armed services, even though the homes were rented to someone else; Maine exempted the estates of war veterans from all property taxes; Massachusetts exempted temporarily certain types of real property belonging to resident servicemen and their wives. Air Express For the most part, air express is carried on the regular passenger flights of the airlines but three exclusive mail and express flights are now operated daily. One route runs between New York and Miami; another beiween New York and Salt Lake City, and a third, recently started, between New York and Los Angeles. 1 invest your Christmas savings in Uncle Sam's WAR BONDS. Km§ en Backing the Attaekw ; Raee Differences - Japanese and Chinese differ (n emotional reaction from Caucasians and from each other, it has been shown in experiments. One experiment consisted of dropping a "huge black object" near the outstretched hand of the subject and measuring certain reactions such as change in pulse rate, involuntary movement of th# hand, electrical resistance of the skin, and rate of breathing. It was thought that the involuntary impulse to avoid a painful blow has a biological origin which is not related to cultural and environmental factors. Change of electrical resistance of the skin and the movement of the hand were the reactions in which the mongoloid races differed most frequently from the Caucasian. Change of the pulse-rate is chief in differentiating the two Oriental na-, tionalities. The Japanese reaction is, on the whole, in somewhat sharper contrast to the" Caucasian than is that of the Chinese. The Chinese reaction, while clearly distinct from the Caucasian, is not quite so markedly distinct from jt as the Japanese rea*$ion. ^ V .£• Chocolate Sfapfe • VoM ' " The Mexican people priee chocolate as a staple food, rather than as a confection, s.s we do.
