He had told' the little igvd Squirrel that he need not be m tiie least afraid. Chatterer had listened. He should have known hotter. Roddy had gone off a lit- ile distance so that Chatterer need not tear to come out. He had started to come out. and Sammy Jay had warned him not to trust Roddy. He had screamed, "Don't do it! Don't do it! Thief! Thiefl Wisely Chatierer had heeded the warning and dodged back. ,

Reddy had known then that it has useless for him to pretend ti-it-ndlincss any longer. so he trotted awayg When he was sure that Chaiterer couldn't possibly see him should he be looking. he l'll'Cl0d around and came back near the old log. There he found .'ii Rood hiding place and settled .luwn there to watch. He was sure 'li;it just as soon as Chatterer felt in could safely do it, he would mine out of that old log.

After awhllo Chatterer began to wonder if the way might be clear. lie poked his nose outside. He poked his whole head out so that he could look around on all sides. lie didn't see any one. He looked over to the nearest tree. If he could only get up in that tree. he would be perfectly safe from Red- dy Fox.

”Oh dear, I hope he won't come over here," thought Chatterer. "I don't know what I'll do if he does. He can tear this old log open with those big .ciaws or his."

Raddy jumped. out of his hiding place and tumci to face Buster. Raddy wasn't grinning now, There was an ugly look on his sharp face. Buster Bear spoke first.

Chester Steidman, lawyer for the estate of Richard Grozier. whose family was assocla)ed for 60 years with the Post, said the stock is sci-i:-tiuied to be sold by bid later this month by the bank which holds it in escrow unless an outright puichase is made in the meantime.

Most employees were stunned by tiie news. Others were angry. The paper -"as once one of the most widely read in the United States.

Divorce Easy

CAIRO (AP) - Egypt leads the world in divorce cases. And no wonder. Moslem law requires only that a husband point a finger at his wife ”and shout, "I divorce you," three times. g

If he says it only once the wife is divorced all the same. The tilt

Figures Reve

NEW YORK (AP) - The Sov- iet Union ended the Second World War with approximately 27,000.- 000 fewer inhabitants than it had at the start of the war.

During the school year just past, the first five grades of the Soviet school system had 8,000,000 fcwcr pupils than there were in 1940- representing some 8.000.000 Sov- iet children unborn as a result of war conditions. -

These facts emerge from analy- sis of the first official Soviet pop- ulation figures released in 17 years. They were published in a manual of Soviet statistics.

This manual demonstrates that Joseph Stalin lied when be de- clared after the war that Soviet war losses amounted to 7.000.000 persons. The real figure was sev- eral times that-not only soldicrs but even to a greater extent of civilians.

200200.000. The U.S. census bur- eau estimated the American pop- ulation on the same date at 167,- 440,000.

The prc-sent Soviet population is some 20,000,000 less than most Western students of Soviet popula- tlon and economics have been estimating for the Soviet Union in recent years.

The Soviet birth rate during the last five years has remained be- tween 24.9 and 26.8 per thousand population. Between 1950 and 1954 the U.S. birth rate ranged between 23.6 and 25.0.

The Soviet death rate has ranged recently between 8.4 and 9.6 per thousand and is currently put slightly below the American death rate estimated for 1955 at 9.3 per thousand. The Soviet death rate is explained in part by the heavy death rates during the war among older people, leaving rela- tively few of them to die after the

war. Development of the Soviet public health system has also been a factor.

tricks. Bids devoted to learnt!!! the number of aces all too fre- quently bypass the basic question. South's three club rabid repre- sent: a hand containing at least 17 points. It asks North to keep the bidding going unless his first response was of the absolute mmlrnum variety. A four club re- sponse by North would indicate a hand such as he has, less the acne! diamonds. The five club res nse selected by North de rcrbed his values adequately. . Twelve tricks can be made by the use of ordinary care, even though it turns out that West hi the king of hearts. South has

them in three possible ways. The diamonds may break 3 - 3; the heart finesse may succeed; an endpladmay be arranged.

After winning the opening lead. declarer cashes the queen and jack of trumps. Dummy's re- maining spade is trumped by South to establish the correct end position. The ace-king-queen -of diamonds are taken. revealing that West started with four. The six of diamond: is played, South aigcgrdlng a low heart. west wins the trick. but has no satis- factory exit. A heart return would be right into dcclarer's ace- quecn; a spade return enables de- clarer to trump in dummy as he discards the queen of hearts.

South's six club bid is auto- matic. He has extra values above the three club rcbld, and excellent suit control. North is bound to

have diamond strength for him.

A wife can also be divorced in advance and still remain legally married. This is called the con-

The law cannot interfere in stopping a divorce but canvexact alimony for the wife and children.
