THE SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C.. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1940 Loquacious Conductor Aimed to Make Self Clear “Fare, please! Fare!” The passenger paid no attention “Fare, please!” Still no response. “By the ejaculatory term, ‘Fare,’ ” said the conductor, “I i imply no reference to the state of j the weather, the complexion of ! the admirable blonde you observe [ in the contiguous seat, nor even to the quality of the service vouch safed by this philanthropic corpo ration. I merely alluded in a manner perhaps lacking in delica cy, but not in conciseness, to the monetary obligation set up by your presence in this car and sug gest that you liquidate.” Then the passenger paid his fare.

Angel Falls Discovered two years ago on Mt., Auyantipuy, deep in the Venezue lan jungle, is a waterfall which makes a sheer drop of 5,000 feet— nearly a full mile. The falls are so inaccessible that they can be viewed only from the air. They were discovered by a young Amer ican aviator named Jimmy Angel. So the Venezuelan government has officially — and appropriately — christened them Angel falls.

Paris Grim City Under Germans GRANNY FOX GETS EVEN WITH OLD MAN COYOTE Never think you must get even; 'Tisn’t nice. If a wrong you have forgiven. Do it twice. ETTTNG even never makes less trouble, and often makes more. Yet it is the most natural thing in the world to want to get even—to pay back wrongs that have been done. Granny Fox is one of the kind who never forgets an injury. If anyone ever wrongs her or one of her family Granny right then and there makes up her mind that she will get even some day, and having made up her mind she never for gets. You see, that is the way the Fox family always has been brought up. Granny’s granny felt just the same way, and so c*d Granny's granny’s granny. So, now when Granny Fox was sure in her own mind that Old Man Coyote was stealing chickens from Ax before, Farmer Brown’s Boy Started out with Bowser the Hound to hunt for the thief. Farmer Brown’s and was trying to make Farmer Brown’s Boy think that it was Reddy Fox who was the thief she made up her mind that she would get even with him, and if pos sible show Farmer Brown’s Boy just who the real thief was. She studied and studied how to got even. The more she studied the angrier she grew at Old Man Coyote. She quite forgot the time that she tried to put Bowser the Hound on Old Man Coy ote’s track in the hope that he would be driver, away from the Green Meadows. Granny didn’t have to wait long for a chance. It was only a few days later that Old Man Coyote stole another chicken. As before. Farmer Brown’s Boy started out with Bow ser the Hound to hunt for the thief. Old Man Coyote’s track was soon found by Bowser, just as Old Man Coyote had expected it would be. lust as before he led Bowser straight to the private sunning bank of Red dy Fox. This time Reddy wasn’t asleep, but he lay still, as Granny Fox had told him to, until Bowser was almost to him. Then up he jumped and ran for his life. Of course, Bowser saw him and start ed after him, forgetting all about those tracks of Old Man Coyote he had been following. After a little Granny Fox slipped in behind Red dy and, the scent of her tracks be ing a little the freshest, Bowser be gan to follow her without knowing it. Reddy slipped away to a place where he could see all that hap pened on the Green Meadows. He saw Granny run around the Smiling Pool, across the Green Meadows, and finally straight over to the far corner where Old Man Coyote had made his home. Reddy chuckled. He could guess just what Old Man Coyote was saying to himself. Now, when Granny Fox reached the home of Old Man Coyote she played a very sharp trick. She ran round and round and back, and forth and this way and that way, until her tracks were so mixed up that she knew it would take Bowser a long time to work them out with that wonderful nose of his, if he even tried it. She hoped he wouldn’t try to. You see she ran right over Old Man Coyote’s doorsteps two or three times, and she hoped that when he reached that point Bowser would realize tnat he had found somebody’s house and make such a noise that Farmer Brown’s Boy would come out to see what it was all about. When she had mixed her trail up enough to suit her Granny made a long jump to one side to break the trail. Then she trotted off a little way and lay down in the grass to watch what would happen. Up came Bowser making a tremendous noiSb with his great voice. Then he be gan to have trouble in following Granny’s trail, and he would bay only once in a while, as if to let Farmer Brown’s Boy know that he was hard at work, but hadn’t got it yet. Finally he reached the door step of one of the doors of Old Man Coyote’s house. Such a racket as there was then! You see Old Man Coyote had been too lazy to run when he heard Bowser following Granny toward his house. He didn’t think that Granny would dare to come right up to his door, so he just slipped inside. When Bowser reached the door step he could smell Old Man Coyote inside, and how he did bark to let Farmer Brown’s Boy know! Farmer Brown’s Boy came over to see what it meant, and then Granny Fox felt that at last she was even with—Old Man Coyote. O T. W. Burgess.—WNU Service.

Arriving from Vichy by train in the early hours of the moming at the drab Austerlitz station is never very inspiring at any time. But arriving under the same circum stances today is positively depress ing. Long trains of Reichsbahn cars line the sidings; here and there a sentry in field gray vaguely nods good moming to the railroad men as they pass on their way to the roundhouses. It is still too early for the suburban trains to be running. In the station itself one is con fronted everywhere with unfamiliar signs in German giving directions to get to the “Bahnhofsoffizier” or how soldiers should leave. Here and there stand solitary sentries presenting arms with robot-like pre cision at the approach of German officers and impassively watching the rest of the crowd pass. Leaving the station one encounters the first effects of the new regime. There are no buses, no taxis, no private cars. So one is confronted with the alternatives of walking or taking the subway—unless he has a bicycle. Since Austerlitz is three miles from anywhere, and portable bicycles are still uncommon things, most people choose the subway. Run Many Risks. Entering the “Metro” anywhere in the neighborhood of a big station at train time is a hazardous affair in the best of times. But entering it now, one runs the risk of crushed feet from heavy suitcases dropped by rushing refugees returning from the provinces. Arriving in the center of town one finds an even more depressing at mosphere. Outwardly nothing seems changed, but for any one with previous intimate acquaintance with the Parisian his set smile, reminis cent of that on the face of a person going to the dentist, speaks vol umes. The Parisian had no choice and has accepted the invasion, but in varying degrees he resents this intrusion of unwanted “tourists.” The streets are filled with people, yet tfysy seem empty; there is the usual bustle and hum of a city going about its usual tasks, but one can’ clearly hear the hollow crunch of half-boots a block away. ‘Verboten’ Rule Prevails. “Order” reigns everywhere. Jay walking pedestrians now cross the streets in the “clous” (pedestrian passages). But the order that reigns is that summed up in the word “verboten.” Food at fair prices—the German authorities decreed that prices ob- Wife’s Weight No Grounds For Divorce, Judge Rules SAN FRANCISCO—You may not like it if your wife gets fat, but her weight is no grounds for divorce. Superior Judge Sylvain J. Lazarus told Julius Boell, bartender, as much as he granted Lucille Boell an interlocutory decree for desertion. Boell testified he left home and sued for divorce because his wife’s weight increased in 14 years from 140 pounds to 256 pounds. The court noted that Boell “has the reputation of being an excellent amateur cook and he undoubtedly contributed to her obesity by sup plying her with a superabundance of his excellent cookery.” taining the first of May were legal maximums—is available in suf ficient quantities. The “halles” are amply supplied daily, but the mili tary gets first choice. Transport of food from the halles to each quarter is assured by pri vate cars bearing large S. P. (Serv ice Pfiblic) stickers on the wind screens. There is one car for each group of five shops, and each car is allowed six liters of gasoline daily. Woe betide the driver who is caught using this gasoline for purposes oth er than the transport of foodstuffs, however. In general, private property has not been touched, although there are several authenticated as well as re ported cases to the contrary. But these are exceptions. Continuing one’s search for a “landmark” of pre-war Paris, one finds a sadly depleted American col ony, most of which now lives at the Hotel Bristol, on the Rue du Fau bourg St. Honore, a stone’s throw from the embassy itself. The hotel was requisitioned by the embassy on the urgent demand for shelter by many Americans on the arrival of the German troops. It is now con sidered an embassy annex and all guests pay their way, those with money helping those without. The German authorities have not inter fered with any one there.

Racing Pigeons Conquer Tricky Grand Canyon PRESCOTT, ARIZ—Pigeon fan ciers finally have proved that car rier pigeons can fly from the bot tom of the Grand canyon despite the treacherous wind currents in the mile-deep gorge. Last year, an attempt was made to hold a “Pigeon derby” from the bottom of the canyon to Prescott. There were sr starters. Five never were seen again. The sixth was carried from the bottom of the can yon on a mule. This year, however, there were 25 starters and a majority of the birds reached their cotes at Pres cott.

Above is a scene in a toy factory near London where toy armored cars, tanks, hangars, planes and barrage balloons were being made for export. Before the war Germany supplied the world with toys like these. In the face of the “battle of Britain” the toy factories are rapidly being converted for war use, however. FLYING SCIENTISTS FIND BUGS AT 5.000 FOOT ALTITUDE NEW ORLEANS. — High-flying bugs are coming in for their share of entomological attention these days as the United States depart ment of agriculture seeks to learn more about aerial bug navigation. P. A. Click of the department has released a report on the results of 1,007 hours in the air in 1,314 flights of Louisiana and 44 flights near Du rango, Mexico. Glick carried spe cially designed bug traps on his plane. He would fly with an opened trap at a specified altitude, then close it and move up, say, another 500 or 1,000 feet to get another sam ple of insect life far above the earth. Glick found living spiders at three miles altitude, mosquitoes at 5,000 feet and even termites—the kind that eat the foundations from under houses—floating on wind currents in the mysterious upper air. Behind this arduous and expensive research is an effort to learn more about crop-destroying and disease carrying insects and just how they spread from one region to another on air currents. Some bugs do most of their trav eling under their own power, others prefer to glide and soar on prevail ing winds. Glick says he has cap tured boll weevils at 2,000 feet, spot ted cucumber beetles at 3,000 feet. Leaf-hoppers were found at altitudes as high as 13,000 feet. The light-weight insects with large wings travel farthest and highest, bug trapping proved. Glick captured specimens of the pink boll-worm moth, a big rime ravager of cotton, more than a mile above sea level, a fact that con vinced him the moth can easily cross from Mexico into the United States without having to undergo the formality of customs inspection. » AROUND THE HOUSE For a little variety bake your pies in square or rectangular shaped pans.
