"Thief, thief" cried Jerry the Jay
bird as he came down co the lowest
| limb on the nearby tree. "You
thought you would be smart, didn't
you, Mr.. Weasel, and catch that fell
low so you might go about killing
everyone you met? Thief, thief, but
you didn't get him and I'm glad of
it."
But I'll get you some of these
times" returned Mr.. Weasel, when
you're least thinking about it, and
then you'll change your cry! And
I'll eat you alive, feathers and all,
if it chokes me-"
Great Horn and Bobby Owl spoke
words of appreciation to Pika. "But
you be careful for he is as danger
Gus as ever and it doesn't make any
difference what the King says to
him, he'll do as he likes" Great
Horn said as he few away.
Major Pole Cat, Chief Porky and
Snoopy the Bob Cat were having a
little conference all of their own
while the others were speaking
words of praise into Pika's ears. By
and by they strolled off each in an
opposite direction.
Now" said Tinker Bob, King Of
Che Forest. "Mr. Weasel must go
about without committing any
crimes. He can not kill any of the
forest dwellers, just because he
likes to kill, Do you understand, Mr..
Weasel?
81 think understand" he re-
piled, "but think this contest un-
fair"
Chats what the losers usually
say when a contest ends. There are
not many that know how to be good
losers. l could have told you just
how this would have turned out
long before it happened.
"Great is the King" cried one of
the listeners. 'He always knows"
said another.
After each had in turn spoken to
Pika and the King they began to
leave, no one remained but Tinker
Bob, Pika and Mr.. Weasel. ''Now
go your way" said the King to Mr..
Weasel, "and disturb no one" Mr..
Weasel started away to the North
and Tinker Bob to the South While
Pika sat on rock watching them
depart. The King had only gone a
little way when Mr.. Weasel turned
and came back, and when Pika
least expected it, this treacherous
fellow pounced upon him, defying
all that the King had said. But no
sooner had Mr.. Weasel done this
than closing in upon him, came Ma
jor Pole Cat, Chief Porky, and
Snoopy the Bob Cat. And one blow
from Snoopy's paw sent him roll
ing down the mountain side.

u our schools boys and girls learn
to read, and those who are fortu-
nate enough to attend schools of the
best type form the habit of read
ing, learn to distinguish good books
from bad and worthless books, and
acquire taste for the best. Others
are less fortunate and finish or quit
school with little knowledge of
books, with no well-established hab-
its of reading, and without a sure
and discriminating taste.
For most American girls school life
is short, school hours are few, land
there is little time in school for gen
eral reading. At best, the schools
can give them only the ability to
read-to understand through the eye
and to interpret the printed page.
The actual reading, beyond the
school lessons, must be done at home
and most of it after school days are
@ over; for this most American girls
have much time.
1t Is true also that reading is most
profitable to those who, at the same
time, are gaining knowledge through
the actual and ordinary experience
Of life and home and industrial oc-
equations.
We learn by doing. Experience
is the greatest educator. We learn
by doing only when the doing is in
telligent Experience educates only
when it is understood, and it is most
educative only when it becomes the
means through which we interpret
the experiences of others, adding
them to our own and thus enriching
cur lives beyond the possibilities of
our own personal experiences

D. c. FIRM HAS LEGAL
LENSES FOR MD. Use

While Washington motorists have
been fully informed as TO the Mary
land auto headlight laws through
the efforts of The Washington Times.
and have made every effort TO equip
their cars with lenses legal in Mary
land. great difficulty has been ex-
perienced in securing lenses owing To
the poor shipping conditions between
and local dealers.
The Hines Auto supply Company,
92O ID street, distributors OF the Vio-
let Ray, National and Raydex lenses.
were among the few fortunate whole
salers to secure lens shipments In

"CRAZY QUILT" LAWS.

According TO the International Asso-
OF Police Chiefs, which met
recently at Detroit, Mich, to consider
the regulation OF automobile traffic,
there is throughout the United States
a "crazy-quilt OF laws" that would
take a man a lifetime TO master.

facts the court held that no verdict
could be rendered against the owner
OF the truck.
The Supreme Court OF Utah has de-
cided that under the prohibition law
OF that state an automobile which
is illegally used for the transporta-
ton OF liquor may not be forfeited II
IL was so used without the knowledge
OF the owner. on this point the de-
cision seems TO be contrary TO the
rule prevailing under the Federal
prohibition law. This law seems to
require the forfeiture OF the car re-
gsrdless OF the innocence OF the
owner II IL is actually found in use
for the Illegal transportation OF
liquor. The question has not yet.
however. been passed upon by the
United states Supreme Court.
In the aforementioned case the
court also decides that a car which
otherwise might be subject to forfeit
ure for violation OF the liquor laws
may be reclaimed from the sherir ny
an unpaid vendor who holds a mort
gage or conditional contract of sale.
On this point the case is substan-
TALLY in harmony with the Federal
law. for that law expressly provides
for the payment OF liens on the car
out OF the proceeds OF sale in the for
feiture proceedings.
To drive an automobile with the
Windshield obscured by dust and rain
is In itself negligence, although the
speed OF the car is below the legal re-
quirement, where an accident results.
so that proof OF this fact alone IL
sufficient to AK liability on the mo-
torist. 1t was so decided recently in
"A decision OF the court OF appeals OF
California.
In q preceding article attention was
called TO a decision in Illinois TO the
effect that a parent is not responsible
for the negligence of his son in driv-
ing a car purchased by the former for
the use OF the family-at least not
where the son drives the car alone
and for his own pleasure. Since then
the question has been considered by
the supreme courts of the states OF
Washington and Tennessee, and both
courts, upon statements OF fact prac-
tically Identical with that presented
in the Illinois case, have reached the
conclusion that the parent is liable
for the negligent management of the
car by his children, under the cir
cumstances stated.
In the Tennessee case, this lang
uage is used by the court: "If owners
OF automobiles are made TO under
stand that they will be held liable
for injury to person and property oc-
casioned by their negligent operation
by infants q. e.. minors) or others
who are financially irresponsible,
they will doubtless exercise greater
degree OF care in selecting those who
are permitted to go upon the public
streets with such dangerous instru-
mentalities."

CENSUS TAKERS ARE
GIVEN MORE TIME
Director Rogers Grants an Extension
at Request Of Many Towns.

Washington, Jan. 24.-While it
had been hoped to complete the emu
meration work in the fourteenth de-
cennial census in Is days, DIRECTOR
Sam L. Rogers Of the census bureau,
said today the time would be extend
ed and that the count of the poulation
of the country would be completed
regardless of the time necessary.
His announcement was made as the
result of requests for extension Of
time received from chambers of COM
,nerce ard other organizations in a
number Of cities which apparently
were under the impression that Is
days was the limit fixed by law for
the enumeration and that any work
not completed in that time would re-
main unfinished.
Director Rogers said the enumera-
ton had not yet been finished in any
of the large cities, but that some re-
turns had been received from a num-
ber of them. -

INDIANS LOSE TO BULLDOGS
Cadets From Charleston Capture Fast
Game From Home Boys.

In one of the fastest basketball
games ever witnessed on the local
floor, Newberry college was defeated
by the fast team of the Citadel. The
game was marked with many thrills
and spectacular plays from beginning
to end. The Citadel team had de-
cided edge on the locals through the
first half the score being II to O in
their favor. At the beginning OF the
second half, Bender, Newberry's star
center, who had been out of the
game on account of illness, went into
the game. The Indians from this
on outplayed their opponents
through the remainder of the game,
scoring 10 points to the Citadels' 8,
AS for the stars the spoils OF the
game would probably fall to Bender,
Morley and Ropp for Newberry, while
Dotterer. Metz and Klenke played
best for the visitors.
