when the news room was moved
from Wall street to the Franklin

Yet, a change had to be made to

Of New Type Tank
London. July 21 IP "Church-
Ills," a new type of heavy tank
being turned out in mass produc
tion, are described by the ministry
of supply as "probably the most
; formidable fighting instrument
possessed by any army in the
world."
The weight and details of con
struction are closely guarded se
crets. "They are very heavily armored,
giving maximum protection to the
crews," the ministry said. "But
despite their weight, they are able
to move over any kind of ground
at a startling speed. They have
terrific gunpower concentrated In
a minimum space. It is unlikely
that many enemy machines exist
which could withstand for long
their devastating fire. If, for any
reason, a Churchill is brought to
a standstill the thickness of Its
armor would enable It to be used
as a small fortress."
Seven Tiny Quail
Lose Bantam Hen,
Adopted Mother
Seven tiny quail are without
their adopted mother, the little
golden bantam hen, "Henrietta,"
today and Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Mef
ferd are deeply grieved, as are
friends who know the story of the
bantam mother and little qua.I.
About three weeks ago, the
mother of the day-old quail dis
appeared, leaving the little birds,
no larger than June bugs, near
the Mefferd home, at the north
city limits of Bend. Mr. and Mrs.
Mefferd induced "Henrietta" to
serve as mother for the little quail,
and all was well until Saturday
night.
Sometime Saturday night, the
foster mother, tiny "Henrietta,"
disappeared, leaving the little
birds without any protection, or
without anyone to show them how
to scratch for worms In the Mef
ferd yard.
Mrs. Mefferd today made an ap
peal for help In locating "Henri
etta." Seven sorrowing little quail
will be very happy If she can be
located, Mrs. Mefferd points out.
