notion to visit her cousin, Margaret, who lived in Evansville. Frisky was to share the excitement, of course. Together they boarded a train (Wabash R. R.) and selected a seat in the rear of the coash.

Overnight ‘With a Relative

AFTER RIDING only seven miles, the train stopped at Lakeville to permit the two travelers to board the Vandalia bound for Plymouth at which point a connection had to be made for Indianapolis. Inasmuch as no train left until the next morning, the two spent the night with a remote relative. Néxt day with Frisky in her arms, Miss Hodson took the Lake Erie R. R. bound for Indianapolis. Arriving here, she got off again and waited two hours for a train to Terre Haute. , Miss Hodson made the most of her wait, It was a long time since she had been in Indianapolis and so she checked Frisky at the Union

¢Station to do some shopping. She had left

home without a toothbrush. What time was left was spent sight-seeing. She saw everything there was to see—the recently completed Soldiers and Sailors Monument; the State House where her Uncle Silas had once spent a winter in the House of Representatives; the new Claypool Hotel with its authentic Romanatrium; the new postoffice, then in the course: of construction, and, of course, all the show windows strung =along Washington 8t., which, at that time, were giving off sparks in the shape of a fashion known as “shirtwaists.” Because the limited time did not permit a visit to Crown Hill, Miss Hodson was back at the depot in plenty of time to catch her train. With Frisky and her other baggage under her arms, she boarded the Big Four bound for Terre Haute. Arriving there, she changed cars for

the last lap of her journey. She bought a ticket for a seat on the E. & T. H. RR,, the most direct route to Evansville. As the train sped along, Miss Hodson secretly contemplated what a pleasant time she and Frisky would have with Cousin Margaret whom they hadn’t seen since two years ago

when Frisky was only six-months-old. Indeed, Miss Hodson even anticipated her cousin's cry of surprise when confronted with the living fact that it takes very little time for a kitten ‘of Frisky’s noble ancestry to grow up to be a cat of considerable poise and distinction. A brakeman came through the train calling the word “Inglefield” As he neared Miss Hodson's seat, she asked him how much farther it was to Evansville. “Only 10 miles more, lady,” he said, “we'll be there in a few minutes.” The train stopped momentarily at Ingle. field. It was a glorious day. To permit some of the balmy air to enter the stuffy car, Miss Hodson opened the window. At this moment, the village loafer who makes. it his business to salute every train, spied Frisky sitting on the window sill. As usual, nature had her way; with the result that when Frisky heard the seductive call of “Kitty, Kitty,” she immediately leaped into the waiting arms ef the loafer. Miss Hodson was beside herself, but under the circumstances there was nothing she could do about it. The train was in motion. When she arrived in Evansville, she sent any number of telegrams to Inglefield. No one knew anything about the whereabouts of Frisky, let alone the loafer. ' It spoiled Miss Hodson’s entire vacation, so much so, that she cut it short and returned to her home at Woodland Station. The whole family tried to console her, but nobody said anything to make her believe she would ever see Frisky again. Five weeks later, Miss Hodson’s little nephew, Walter, was playing in the backyard when he spied a bedraggled and exhausted ‘cat entefing the alley gate. “Aunt Eva, Aunt’ Eva,” he yelled. Frisky,” and sure enough, it was. If you've kept track of the number-of train conections Miss Hodson had to make, and the mileage between waits, you ought to be able by this time to figure out that Frisky ‘was exactly 375 miles from home when she jumped out of the window at Inglefield.

$100 a Month— Pensions

By PETER EDSON

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 — Some time in September, $100-a-month pension checks will start going out to retired soft coal miners who are members of John IL. Lewis United Mine Workers who are’ 62 years of age or older, and who have had 20 years of service in the coal mines, Some retired miners ‘who are 64 or over may be eligible to receive additional payments of up to $2500 apiece, for the pension payments are to be made retroactive to May 29, 1946. Whatever the amount of the initial pension, these payments will mark the start of the second phase of a major indus- | trial welfare plan. The miners are now feceiving certain emergency. distress benefits. Survivors of miners who die receive $1000 death benefits. Still to be put in operation isa plan fof complete medical and hospital care. It is hoped to set this up before the end of the year. All this welfare is to be paid for out of a trust fund raised Uy royalties =f 20 cents a tun

eventually by the consumer on every ton of c6éal mined. On the basis of 500 tons annual production, this would be $100 million a year.

Watched Closely THE MINERS’ welfare plan is being closely watched in other industries, as a possible pattern for expanding social security coverage through private business instead of through the government. Only four unions have now gained similar employer-paid welfare plans—the Musicians, Clothing Workers, Garment Workers and the United Auto Workers

The GOP base rests on the long continuing prosperity of the rich. Willamette Valley. Farmers in the valley are geiting record prices.
