Fortified by direct sunlight and in chill. the bird faced his ordeal in good spirits. But patience was needed. for Jane's gorgeous par- rot had now turned his attention .to the Kookaburra, who lived not far distant from him. He said "Benny Boss" three times, then eyed Mr Barbour solemnly for isome seconds and finally broke in- Ito a peal of raucous laughter.
Gregory flushed and turned upon the company. .

Lots of people who don't like cheaters don't mind cheating the treasury. Not so with the aged sis- ters Ray and Harriet Gilbert, of Ohio.
They shut off the heating system and pulled in their belts and wor- ried about taxes on Ray's income of si.'25 00 per month, granted to her as a retired teacher. News- paper reporters straightened out the affairs of Miss Ray and the Internal Revenue office. Result of the nowshound's nosing into the matter: Miss Ray got a 533.00 refund due on the income tax she paid last year, which proves that one may sometimes pay too much or too little to the income tax people.

Isn't it strange that every idol- maker creates a God to suit his own nature and desire? Certainly the greatest idols in this modern world are named fashion, nioncy. greed and power. The Nations bow down to these as the Israelites bowed down to the golden calf. But fashions come and go, greed and money lose their true meaning in the face of death, and power is de- throned when the demon war sweeps across the world.
