charged into a crowd of people
gathered around the concessions
and near the exhibit pavilion.

after the barbecue. Later in the
evening, dancing at the tennis
courts was temporarily Inter
rupted when the fire siren drew
most of the crowd to the fire
which was on the same street as
that on which the dance was
being given. The newly painted
borne of Mrs. Nina Dusenberry
was gutted by the fire, and a
total ruin side, but not burned
to the ground as first reported.
Mrs. Dusenberry was not at
home at the time the fire started
and friends and relatives saved
most of the furniture before the
smoke and water caused more
damage. The loss was covered
by Insurance.

DESPITE ATTACK
Washington, Aug. 23.
The senate confirmed today the
nomination of Rexford Guy Tug-
well to be governor Puerto Rico
despite an assertion by Senator
Taft (R., Ohio) that Tugwell had
"no sympathy with American
ideals or the American system"
and was "the apostle of collec
tivism." Confirmation was on a stand
ing vote.
Tugwell, a close adviser of
President Roosevelt In the early
days of the new deal, recently
was nominated to the post by
the president.
Taft told the senate chat Tug
well was opposed to the Amer
ican constitutional system and
"looks with greatest sympathy
on the program of Communism
in Russia."
"He is in favor of the re
distribution of wealth and the
totalitarian state," Taft said.
"He has attempted to divide
classes and stir up class hatred,
which I believe to be the most
dangerous attack on American
democracy."

3 EGGS LAID BY
The bird Is becoming gay In
Its old age.
We're talking about the big
parrot, Red, owned by Mrs. Bet
ty K. Bevan, 319 King street.
Mrs. Bevan has had Red for a
decade and she believes the pet
is at least 20 years old.
Well, the other day Mrs. Bev
an found an egg in the cage. She
thought the neighbors were
nlaying a joke on her. She put
the egg away. A couple of days
later she found the cage empty
and Red nestled on a cushion
on the sofa. Under Red was an
other egg. Mrs. Bevan took the
egg and put the bird back in the
cage. A couple of days later she
found another egg in the cage
and Red looking as mad as a
wet hen and with an expression
that said: 'I defy you to take
this one."
Mrs. Bevan did. You see. she
was kind of disillusioned. All
these years she thought Red was
a male parrot.

CROP FREEZE ACT
Washington. Aug. 25..
President Roosevelt vetoed to
day legislation to freeze govern
ment stocks of wheat and cotton.
declaring it to be contrary "to
sound governmental policy and
to the long-time best Interests
of both farmers and consumers.
In a message to the house,
the chief executive said it was
his conviction that approval of
the measure "would seriously
and adversely affect the agricul
tural adjustment program and
the attendant policies which
have been so beneficial to our
farmers during the past few
years."
Advocates of the bill at the
Capitol had contended that sale
of the government stocks might
depress prices.

The man Is blind," Duffy

learn to read Braille."
