vas anxious to see if Young Swamp
Rabbit would do as he was taught by
his mother. so he fingered a while
among the tall grass of the swamp.
This young fellow wandered away
from his home and made one or two
squats in the punches of grass, and
then became tired and went to sleep.
Now his mother told him that he
should not go to sleep away from
home till he had learned the lesson
OF how to awake quickly, so if an
enemy came upon him he could get
away. But he was too sleepy to
listen to what his mother said. And
while he was asleep, there came'wan-
dering through the swamp young Red
Fox.
Red Fox knew the hiding place
Of these swamp creatures so he was
thrusting his nose into every bunch
of grass as he came along. Poor
Young Swamp Rabbit would be sorry
if Red Fox ever found where he was
hiding: But in this bunch of grass
there happened to be a door to a
small tunnel. and out Of this door
there came the tiny little fellow that
We met a few weeks ago. His name
is Willie Shrew.
Willie's long nose shifted the air.
He can always tell when Red Fox
is around because Mr.. Fox is always
trying to catch him, n that has
made Willie very wise. He scented
Red Fox, and looked about and saw
Young Swamp Rabbit sound asleep,
and he knew that Red Fox was COM

Berlin, Sept. 29.-'I am General,
Hoffman, whom you probably remem-
Der from Brest-Litovsk," said a! tall
man of military bearing as he intro
duced himself to a meeting OF. Major
tty Socialists called here to discuss ,
eastern European problems.
The Socialists we're in the midst
of a discussion on Soviet principles
and the Russo-Polish situation, when
General Ludendorff's former aide-de-
camp arose n without more ado
took the floor.
He charged the Versailles peace
with the responsibility for the pres
emit state of Europe in that it failed
to take Russia into account, and de-
clared that Russia must be reinstated'
into her former position. Germany,
he said, needed Russia's foodstuffs
and Russia needed German industrial
products. ....
General Hoffman went OF declaring
n q German working men alone were
able to rebuild the nation. IT is not
true" he said, that we have already
cached h bottom of the abyss We
are, however, standing on the brink

Despite his unexpected interruption,
the meeting treated the general with
courtesy although some reproaches
were addressed to him for concluding

You'd better run for your life, for

for his dinner. I'm going back in my
tunnel and you'd better rum" And
that is just the thing that Young
Rabbit did-he ran!
Such running you eve saw. This
young Swamp Rabbit didn't know
| which way to run, for he didn't know
where Red Fox was. He had never
seen this Mr.. Fox and didn't know
what he looked like. But run he
must. and run he did. And what
did he do but run right into Red
Fox, who had his nose in a bunch OF
grass. @
1t frightened Red Fox so hat al

when he spied this Young SWAMP

of current and some pieces of wood
and spring brass to make the seat
switch. AS will be noted in the cir
cult diagram when the concealed
switch is closed and the seat switch
Is closed, the circuit through the bell
Is established, and, at the same time,
the circuit through the circuit-breaker
switch, so that, even though the
latter is open, the bell continues
to ring. The resistance coil would
not be necessary if the circuit through
the bell was continuous. Since, how
ever, 1t is interrupted at eacn tap OF
the bell, the coil is necessary in order
to maintain sufficient current
through the circuit breaker to keep 1t
from permitting the shunt circuit
across the seat switch to open, thus
stopping the alarm. The only way the
alarm can be stopped is by breaking
the main circuit, either at the con-
cealed switch or at some other point.
If properly wired this cannot be done
by a stranger without spending con-
siderable time, which, under the cir
cumstances, is out Of the question for
a thief, at least in city or town.

forests products laboratory at Madi-
son, Wis. 1t is expected to render
valuable service to the paper industry
by supplying data regarding the
strength of paper-data that has not
been easy to obtain heretofore. The
difficulty in testing the tearing
strength of paper has always been in
securing constant force of value.
Irregularities in the paper structure
due to its tibrous nature make the
reading of the force required to tear
the paper very uncertain. The ma
chine now nearing completion over
comes this difficulty by yielding an av-
erage force for the entire tear. 1t
simply measures the work done in
tearing the strip. Dividing the work
done by the length of the tear gives
the average tearing force. The length
of the tear is the same in all cases,
so that the machines can be elaborated

CASUALTIES DUE TO
RANK CARELESSNESS
Drivers Fail to Comply With Few
Simple Rules.
Don't Rely Wholly on Other Fellow
Doing Right Thing-look Care
fully Both Ways in Crossing
Streets and Go Slow.

"Most automobile accidents are due
to lack of little common sense and
carelessness in complying with a few
simple driving rules. 1t isn't always
the first-time owner who gets his
name In the accident columns" says
George Stowe, president of motor
car company.
First assume that you must look
out for yourself and the other fellow
too. Don't rely wholly on the other
fellow doing the right thing and you'll
be on your guard if he does the wrong
thing.
Never back or swing from the curb
into the street without looking back to
see if the way is clear.
Glance both ways on each cross
street, and if you're not on the main
thoroughfare slow down before you
cross. It's safest to drive slowly
enough to have the car well under
control where buildings hide intersect'
ing streets.
Do not cut corners In turning, but
keep to your side Of the street and
look both ways before you make 9
turn.
Put out a hand as a guide to the
car following or approaching.
If passing a slower vehicle pass or
your left, but In passing street cal
always keep to the right.
Do not follow another vehicle too
closely. 1t might stop suddenly.
Stop when the street car ahead Of
you stops and stand still till all pas
sengers getting of are out of the
street.
