Davis, the farm adminis trator, said today crop control pro grams would be suspended tempor-. arlly If war conditions abroad bring high prices sustained above parity. The programs then would be con tinued for the remainder of the con tract period, he said, when and If prices declined. Praising the present adjustment machinery as a means of meeting In creased demands as well as reducing production, Davis said it offered a means of "cushioning the shock of a sudden fall In prices which Inevitably I follows the close of a war." Speaking over the radio, Davis dls- i cussed the possible effect of the new1 wheat contracts In case world peace Is shattered. "In war and In peace," he said.; "the wheat contract offers advan tages to the cooperative farmer. "In times past we have walkM Into our economle troubles with the In different attitude that we would meat the problem when It came. The farm board was called upon to meet the wheat problem when the surplus was already unmanagable. Using the agri cultural adjustment administration act, the farmers were compelled to re sort to drastic methods to pull them selves out of the depths of despair. "They have barely reached solid ground today when the possibility of another dreaded agriculture cycle threatens. Can we, as wheat farmers, be far-alghted enough to bind our selves closer together In great num bers to enable us soberly to produce for the market now and Intelligently to perfect the control machinery to ease the shock that must follow troublesome times?" "Oranddaddy of All Mysteries," as It was the first mystery play written In which the secret of the play was withheld from the audience. It has never been surpassed. 1 Taken from a novel of the same name by Earl Derr Blggers, author of the famous Charlie Chan books, and adapted for the stage by George M. Cohan, actor, playwright and produc er, the play Is a rapid moving, baf fling enigma, distinguished by Its subtle plot and sparkling lines.

The porcupines have not been nam ed as yet because, as Stevens explain ed, he does not want them with appellations that might have to be changed later. The difficulty Is that Mr. Stevens thinks he has one male and three female porcupines but he Is not sure, and It Is not good policy to be premature in attaching names to the pets under auch circumstances. The porcupines are already friendly and If they think you are okay they will eat out of your hand. They are very cordial creatures when thev.eet to know you, Stevens said, pointing! out that at one time they were pro- 1 tec ted by law because tbey were the only animal that a hungry wanderer, lost In the woods, could overtake. When one Is hungry the porcupine provides good meat, be explained. The qullly animals, however, became so destructive of farms snd gardens thst the protective cloak was remov ed and now they may be killed legally at any time, Stevens pointed out. He emphasized that, contrary to popular Deuel, a porcupine cannot throw Its quills. The porcupines were given to Stev ens by Robert Porter, Copco salesman. who makes a pastime of catching ani mals that most persons would shun. Porter and Stevena are now conspir ing to add a few skunks to the fire hall zoo. "Skunks make wonderful pets," said Mr. Stevens. BUDAPEST, Oct. 10.
