tion under Mayor Fiorello H.

Huckleberry Mountain Mouse Finds
Strange Adventure in Beer Bottle
. ,
Once there lived, a teeny-weeny mouse up on Huckleberry
mountain. No matter what Its mother fed It, the little thing just
stayed little. Probably It wasn't getting the right vitamins or
enough of them.
One day the utue mouse.
crawled into a beer bottle that
had been discarded on the moun.
tainside. There was some Deer
lpft inside. The little mouse
took a swig and liked the stuff.
So it stayed in the bottle, living
on the rich malt, hops and yeast
of the brew.
When it finally wanted to get
out of the bottle and go home.
however, the little mouse wasn i
little anv Ionizer. In fact It was
so big it couldn't get out of the
bottle and that's a fearful plight
for a mouse to be in. But along
came the hero of this story,
Walter Sherid, who UDeraiea
the grateful mouse. The happy
creature raced for home to tell
the whole family about the won
derful, health-building food
liquid that was found in an old
bottle.
Mr. Sherid, a protective as
sistant on the Rogue Hlver na
tional forest at Lake o" Woods,
told this story to Robert Mer
cer, construction superintendent.
Mr. Mercer told it to Karl L
Janouch, forest supervisor. Mr.
Janouch thought the story
should be told to the press. So
here it is, folks.
COURT HOUSE IS
A colony of yellowiacketr In
the past two weeks have built
nest at the top or tne dbck-
door to the courthouse ana
Sheriff Syd I. Brown said today
he was thinking of dispersing
them with a "couple of shot
from his tear gas gun but feared
the attack would disperse both
himself and courthouse work
ers In general.
The Janitor who first discov
ered the building operations is
desirous of remaining on amic
able terms with the yellow
Jackets and admires the work
manlike Job they are doing.
They have bothered nobody to
date, chiefly because no one has
bothered them. The insects toll
assidlously, one bunch doing
the plastering and the other
bringing material.
County Agent Robert G. Fow
ler viewed the nest Monday
morning and cast a scientific
eye upon the work, armed with
nothing but his faithful pipe,
He voiced no definite steps for
a blitzkrieg upon the yellow-jackets.
A thoroughly experienced, es
pecially trained, mobile forest
fire suppression crew of ten
hand-picked men took up its
duties today at the Star ranger
station in the Applegate district
of the Rogue River national
forest. The men are prepared
to move swiftly at a moment's
notice to any fire in the Apple
gate district or to any other
part of the forest, headquarters
said.
The special crew was organ
ized because of the disbandment
of the Applegate CCC company
that in past summers provided
a side camp of fire-fighters sta
tioned at the Star ranger sta
tion, headquarters explained.
Because of increased logging
operations and consequent in
crease in slashings, the forest
service today put on a preven
tion guard in each of the four
ranger districts of the Rogue
River national forest. The
guards, it was explained, will
patrol the logging areas of
greatest fire hazard.
The men employed for this
work are Don H. McKenzie,
Lake of the Woods district; John
Byrne, Applegate district; Ralph
Ellis, Butte Falls district, and
Lee Merriman, Union Creek
district.

Shanghai. July 8. (4V-Ex-perienced
observers "said today
that Japan's curtailment of ship
ping routes and concentrations
of her merchant marine In the
Pacific was obviously prepara
tion "for any eventualities" In
other words, for whatever action
Tokyo may have decided to take
next.
Koh Ishil, spokesman of the
Japanese government, said in
Tokyo today that the concen
tration was due to a shortage of
ships on Pacific ocean routes.
He pointed out that there was
little chance of Japanese ireign
ers obtaining cargoes on the
east coast of the United States,
henceforth Japanese ships
probably would confine their
calls to the west coast.
Panama Order Irks
He added that United States
regulations concerning the Pan
ama canal were very inconven
ient to the Japanese.
The Shanghai observers said
Ishil's statement was not con
vincing and asserted that Japan's
trade in the far east had de
clined greatly while her trade
with Europe was completely
halted. Japan, they said, has
an oversupply of ships in these
waters for normal purposes. j
It was suggested that the ships :
called home would be handed
over to the military authorities j
if Japan attempts a new overseas .
expedition.
There also was speculation'
that Tokyo wished to avoid the
risk of the United States closing ,
the Panama canal and while Jap.
anese ships are in the Atlantic.
U. B. War Step Seen
Mai. Kunio Akiyama, Japan-'
ese army spokesman, said "the(
United States navy did not send
its forces to Iceland for a sum-,
mer outing; the occupation is a
long stride toward war by
Roosevelt."
Asked about reports of a Jap-!
anese move into southern Indo-!
China, Akiyama said, "just as
the United States did not an
nounce the navy was in Iceland
until it was occupied, we can
not make an announcement
about future matters."
Akiyama said Japan was
"greatly concerned over the pos
sibility of a spread of the Russian-German
war to the far east"
as a result of passage of United
States materials to Vladivostok.
