Miami now hat one of the country's largest navy bases for advanced aircraft training. Vargas does not say what nation or nations might make such an attempt, but it is clear he has his eye on the European and Far Eastern struggles. The story of the Amazon is a story of rubber. Back in 1910, when the United States manufactured only 200,000 automobiles, Brazil produced practically all the world's rubber 82,000 of the 70.000 tons. But Brazilian rubber was wild rubber, gathered by natives In ways. The British had found rubber could be raised economically in the Dutch East Indies and the Malay peninsula. This new method was far more efficient than wild rubber production. Ford Has Plantation. By 1814, cultivated rubber production exceeded that of wild rubber. By 1820, cultivated rubber production was 820,000 tons, and wild production 40,000; the United States consumed 235,000 tons. In 1837, the picture a gloomy one for Brazil was this: Cultivated rub--, ber, 1,107.062 tons; Brazilian rubber, 18,286 tons. Rubber had been worth S3 a pound in 1810 real "black gold." But when production could more than take care of necessities, prices feU way off.

Where had Old Man Coyote come from? There was a time when they hadn't known that he existed. Then one day they discovered that he had come to the Green Meadows to make his home, and he had been there ever since. There had been a great deal of wondering about him, and where he had come from, but no one felt well enough acquainted with him to ask him so personal a question. The truth is no one, un-- THERE what Sammy's errand was he was so surprised that he hardly knew what to say, and quite suddenly fell that they were going to be friends. It was then that for the first time Sammy dared to ask what he had wanted so long to know. "Mr. Coyote." said he, speaking in the politest manner, "you've been a neighbor for a long time, and yet somehow I've never felt really acquainted with you. Why, do you know I don't even know where you came from?" Old Man Coyote's eyes twinkled. "You have plenty of company, I guess." said he. "Would you really like to know?" "I certainly would," replied Sammy promptly. "I would feel a whole lot more as if we really were military camps. 1 1 Minute Make-Up- s By V.V.

Sammy Jay had been one of those who had wondered a great deal about Old Man Coyote. Now, usually Sammy is not at all bashful or the least bit backward about prying into other people's affairs, but there was something about Old Man Coyote that always had discouraged him. Today, however, it was different. He had come over to tell Old Man Coyote that all the little people of the Smiling Pool and the Green Meadows had given him a vote of thanks for leading Bowser the Hound into one of the terrible traps set by Farmer Brown's Boy, and so showing him how dreadful traps are.

He scratched his head in an uncertain sort of way, and then he ventured another question. "Is er is the West very far away?" Old Man Coyote didn't seem to hear. He was still gazing way, way off, and there was a soft dreamy look in his eyes which made them almost gentle. All the fierceness and the sly look was gone, and somehow it was hard work for Sammy to believe that it was really Old Man Coyote he was looking at At last Old Man Coyote sighed. It was a long, deep sigh. "Yes, I came from the West the great wide, wonderful West" he repeated. "It must be a long way from here," ventured Sammy. "It is." replied Old Man Coyote. "I I should like to hear about it" Sammy once more ventured, and he was very polite. "So you shall!

C-- The Incas must have had some knotty financial problems, according to the "quipu" on exhibition in the University of North Carolina library. The quipu is a knotted record of the Inca civilization, and, although assume it might anthropologists have pertained to financial problems, they admit it might mean almost anything. It consists of 31 different types of small ropes of a dozen different colors and no two alike, containing a hundred different kinds of knots. Each knot is supposed to mean something, but Just what is a mystery. The quipu was donated by John Wise of New York, collector of Peruvian art objects, and is valued at SS00. It resembles nothing so much as a Boy Scout's collection of knots, although on close examination it is apparent such knots are unknown today. PHILADELPHIA.

COYOTE TELLS WHERE IIE CAME FROM was courting There was no doubt about it The news spread rapidly through Ravenna, a town of 10,000, for Sam and Theresa were both important enough to be of interest not only to Ravenna but to the neighboring city of Philadelphia. Although many years Theresa's senior, Sam was the most eligible widower in Ravenna. Theresa was a charming woman, highly educated, extensively traveled and thoroughly cosmopolitan. Sam and Theresa were deeply in love that was apparent yet somehow, they did not wed. "If you must know," ' Theresa's somewhat crusty old father had said to an Inquisitive neighbor, "Theresa doesn't want to assume the responsibility of mothering five children. And I don't blame her." That in fact was the very thing that kept Theresa single. So Ravenna concluded. If Theresa became Mrs. Donovan she automatically became the mother of five youngsters, two boys and three girls, Bonnie, e, the youngest being eight and the eldest 17. Nadine was a beautiful spoiled young creature, who ruled her father, the house, the other children, her schoolmates and her teachers with an imperious sway. Theresa was afraid of Nadine. Well might Sam Donovan love She was only ten years Theresa. older than Sam's oldest daughter, and much of the loveliness of youth had clung to her. She looked scarcely any older than Nadine. "Poor little Nadine. She' needs you." Sam pleaded with Theresa. She lacked a mother's care at the most critical period of her life." Thus Sam urged his suit thinking thereby to strengthen it "And is that the only reason you seek my hand in marriage, Sam Donovan?" she asked, a sly twinkle in her eye. Sam, realizing bow inept his speech had been, hastened to make amends most effectively with a caress and a swift rush of loving words. "Theresa, darling. You know I worship you, aside and apart from the kids and their needs. Only I thought perhaps, you might come to know them and to love them in time, as I do," Sam hurried on. "I'll give you my word of honor they'll never intrude on you, never make demands on your time, never interfere with your personal life." Again Theresa smiled knowingly. Only Theresa knew the truth. It was not the responsibilities nor the curtailment of her personal freedom that she dreaded. She even courted them, and it was the appeal of those five motherless children that Inclined her toward Sam. She dreaded Nadine. The young chit had publicly snubbed her on several occasions and had said ugly things. Not for worlds would Theresa tell Sam the truth. That doting parent had done everything a man could do to spoil his children, but he had no idea of the persecution to which Theresa was being subjected. Determined that they should all become better acquainted, Sam gave an elaborate family dinner. He invited a host of relatives and had in a caterer from Philadelphia to cook and serve the meal. Theresa would have preferred a quiet family dinner. The affair would have gone off very well, except that Nadine chose at the last moment deliberately to absent herself, pleading a previous engagement Only then, for the first time, did Sam sense the true state of affairs. Throughout the long dinner he evolved in his mind various schemes for dealing effectively with that offspring. On the whole, however, the dinner was a great success. But Theresa's mind was in a turmoil Apparently it was to be war to the knife as far. as Nadine was concerned. Theresa's courage failed her. She felt she Just could not face the thought of years of combat ahead. She made up her mind to ten Sam the truth after dinner that it was better that they should give one another up. Theresa wanted to break the news to Sam in a beautiful spot It would blow for be a blow, she knew both of them. So she asked him to take her out on an inclosed veranda, sort of room. a charming out-doAs the two approached the room their attention was attracted by a childish treble voice. It seemed to be repeating a phrase time and again. Theresa and Sam entered quiBonetly. There was nie curled up in a big leather chair. Over and over again she kept saying the word "mother." Suddenly the child looked. Apparently Bonnie was not in the least With all the frankdisconcerted. ness of childhood she smiled up at them. "I was Just practicing so I will know how to say 'mother' when Miss Redmond marries you. Daddy," she explained naively. That was enough for Theresa.' She was ready to surrender completely. She no longer even feared Nadine. "Sam, I'll marry you tomorrow," she said to that bewildered individual Then she furtively wiped a tear from her lovely eyes and went over and took Bonnie in her arms with a perfect mother gesture.
