Old Man Coyote.

Bowscr the Hound WASH. really
morning and he didn't need another
mouthful hut bono is to a Dog
very much what stick Of candy is
10 little boy or girl. SO as Bower
lay in the doorway Of his little house
and began to gnaw the splendid big
bone his mistress had just given
him he was perfectly happy.
1t was splendid pone. Mrs. Brown
had left enough meat clinging to it
TO make fairly good meal And
Bowser knew. too, that when he
cracked it with his strong teeth he
would find the sweetest of marrow in
side. SO Rowser was happy and it
seemed to him Just then there could
he nothing moro in all the Great
" orld to be desired.
A shadow moved across the snow
Just in front of him. With ono paw
on the bone Bowser looked up.
There. just in front Of him. was that
impudent Coyote he had chased a few
nights before. Rowser forgot the
bone. IN an instant he was on his
feet with a deep growl the hair
along his neck and shoulders stand
ing on end. Such impudence. He
He would show him that no Coyote
could come around that farmyard!
With a roar OF his great voice
Bowser rushed out. Old Man Coyote
turned tail and like a flash disap-
peared around the barn. Bowser fol-
lowed. baying as only he can. Straight
away ran Old Man Coyote. keeping
the barn between him and the house
20 that Mrs Brown, hearing Bowsers
voice and looking out of the window,
saw no one.
ut must be that Fox has been
around" thought she, and went about
her work.
Over to the Green Forest wen.
Old Man Coyote. and until he got
there he took care to keep only
little way ahead of Bowser. But
when they reached the Green Forest
he began running so fast that he was
soon far ahead Of Bowser Then Old
Man Coyote ran back on his own
trail, ran in circles. crossed and re-
crossed his own trail, and finally
made long leap to the top Of an
old stump and from that another
long leap. Then he trotted off to the
top Of little Hill and sat down.
II guess that will keep him busy

Allan A. Ryan and his former Stock

member of the FIRM also is defendant,

an agreement executed by tho firm in
December, 1920, for the benefit of
creditors. Similar suits. aggrcgating
about 100000, were brought recently
by Mrs. Florence Burden and Mrs.
r,udora Walsh. All grew out Of the
Ryan corner in Stutz motor stock.
Mrs. Ryan, who is tho wife of Glen
DENIM J. Ryan, charges that Allan A.
Ryan & Go. turned hcr securities over
to the trustees and chat tho latter re
coivcd them with full knowledge that
they wcrc hcr property. the trustees
still having tho shares and bonds. She
says that at various times prior to
April 10, 1920, she bought securities
through the Ryan firm. and that on
that date there was on the books Of tho
which the firm held as security 1000
shares of Stutz stock. This was at
time when the stock was much in de-
mand. The plaintiff adds that she gave
the brokers permission to use her stock
in operations under an agreement that
on q settlement being made with stock
brokerage houses indebted to them she
was to be credited on her stock in an
amount equal to that effected by the
Ryan firm in their settlement.
Mrs. Ryan asserts that by reason of
the payment of two dividends on the
original shares and under the settle
mont price she became entitled to 1000
additional shares and that on the
transactions in Stutz the firm owed her
S8I9 ,057. Tho firm also held other

declares. and deducting $4,000 paid to

for while said Old Man Coyote
to himself, and grinned.
When Bowser reached that tangled
forth nc ran, trying with that Won
derful nose Of his to work out that
trail. Now and then he gave little
yelc OF impatence. But he kept at
it. Bowser never gives up easily. He
hates to admit even to himself thai
there is any trail he cannot work
out. Old Man Coyote watched him
for only a moment. Then he grinned
again and, turning, trottcd swiftly
away, and he was headed back toward
Farmer Browns.
Patiently Bowser worked on that
tangled trail. Two or three times he
made circles out around, hoping to
pick up the fresh trail in that wav.
But he didn't circle quite far enough.
At last after q long, long time he
gave it up. The scent had grown so
faint that 1t was useless to try
longer. Slowly for he was tired, nc
trotted back toward home
AS he drew near he remembered
that splendid bone he had left to
chase Old Man Coyote. He trotted a
little faster. That bone would taste
all the better now. Straight to his
little house in front of which he had
left that splendid bone he ran. That
bone wasn't there! No, sir. that bone
wasn't there! 1t had disappeared.

Rocket Trip To Moon
Enlists Aid Of
College

WORCESTER, Mass, June 26.
Clark University has award
ed an additional sum Of money
to Prof. Robert H, Goddard In
order that he may continue his
experiments in connection with
his efforts to make a trip to the
moon aboard a rocket. Prof.
Goddard made known the ad-
ditional subscription today for
the first time, but the amount
Is still q secret.
The Clark University authori-
ties, who are probably more
familiar with the details of
Goddard's progress than any
one else, continue to hold the
strongest faith in the prepara-
tions, Prof. Goddard declared.
The professor said that an
attempt to reach the moon on
a rocket was entirely unlikely
this year, although it had been
earlier stated that the initial
test would take place late in
1922. Prof. Goddard said the
change in the date only meant
a little more delay, insisting
that the experiment was GER
tain to be made eventually.

CHAMBER CALLS
INSURANCE BILL
MONOPOL|ST|C
Fitzgerald Measure Seen by
Official as lnimical to
Good Business.

On the grounds that 1t provides for
a form Of compulsory monopolistic
Insurance, the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States today voiced its
opposition to the Fitzgerald bill,
which would set UP q plan for work.
mems compensation in the District OF
Columbia. The bill Is scheduled to
come before the House today.
In letter to members Of Congress,
Elliot H. Goodwin. vice president of
the national chamber. let It be known
visions Of the Fitzgerald bill II Is not
to be understood that the national
chamber Is in any way attempting TO
express opposition to the principle of
workmen's compensation insurance.
AS pointed out by Goodwin. the rea'
sons for the chambers objection to
the Fitzgerald bill are:
II. This bill provides for compul-
sorry monopolistic insurance. leaving
the employer no option on the selec'
ton of an insurance carrier. He
must take Government insurance.
"2. The insurance commission un'
der this bill is not only empowered to
uctcTHline inc rates anu amount OF
premium, but Is also charged with
the collection of premiums and the
determination Of the amount and the
payment Of compensation. with no
check whatsoever upon its decisions
and actions.
"3. The insurance commission. un.
der this bill, possesses full authority
to review its own decisions, with
right Of appeal to the courts only
on matters of law.
I'm short. the commission created
under this bill combines normal I'd.
ministrative functions with the bus'.
ness Of insurance. and has to a con.
siderable degree the power Of judicial
review. Such concentration of au-
thority. we believe, is contrary to in.
herent principles Of good business
and of GOOD government"

GEN. cRoWDER ESCAPES
INJURY IN AUTO CRASH

HAVANA, June 26.-Gen. Enoch
H. Crowder. special representative
to Cuba, had a narrow escape from
death late Saturday night, when the
automobile in which he was riding
became jammed between a truck
and a trolley car In Cerro, a suburb
II is reported that the trolley was
racing the truck for some distance
when both came up near Crowder's
car. The truck crashed into the
trolley car just a short space ahead
Of Crowder's automobile. The i'm.
pact badly injured the motorman,
who was incapacitated. His car
dashed forward without guidance
A policeman leaped to the brakes
and stopped the car just in time to
prevent II from smashing Crowder's
machine against a building, although
the momentum was sufficient to Jar
General Crowder and damage the
car.

VA. GOVERNOR REFUSES
PARDON TO Ex-LEGISLAToR

RICHMOND. Va, June 26.-Gov-

declined to grant a pardon to Julian
Christian, former member Of the
Virginia house Of delegates from
Mathews county, who was convicted
OF violating the Mapp prohibition
law and given a term Of one month
in Jail, coupled with $50 fine.
Christian has already begun serving
his sentence.
Christian was charged will selling
n concoction in his store at Mathews
Courthouse which was known as
"highball." His defense was that
the drink did not come within the
definition Of ardent spirit. but tho
Virginia supreme court, to which he
appealed, decided In an opinion
handed down here at its spring term
that II did. The evidence was that
the stuff had a most pronounced
kick. Christian served in the slegis-
lature in 1912.

JUVENILE ASSOCIATION
BEHIND IN FUNDS DRIVE

The campaign for funds being di.

horst for the board of the Juvenile
Protective Association has not been
as successful as anticipated, Mrs.
Voorhorst has reported to the board.
The goal set is $4,000, the amount
necessary for carrying on the as.
sociation's activities during the
summer.
This Is the fifth year Of the Pro
tective Associations work. and those
interested feel It is more necessary
than ever that they contjrue their
efforts to diminish Juvenile delin.
.quency. AT this time Of the year, "
says Mrs. Voorhorst, when chill.
dren are released from school and
are inclined to rebel against parental
control 1t 10 important we should
have funds to help them"
Several hundred cases Of delin.
quency have been referred to the
association from Juvenile Court dur.
ing the past year. On account of
the good work accomplished the as.
sociation is hoping to gain sufficient
funds to continue functioning.

TARIFF DRAWN

McCumber Declares Sched-
>uIes Will Be Even Lower
Than Payne-AIdrich Law.
BY Universal Service.

In a statement issued today ad-
dressed ito the farmers" Senator
McCumber. chairman Of Finance
Committee, assures them that the
pending tariff bill is written In
their interests.
when we get through with the
bill 1t will be very much lower
than the House BILL" he says. He
goes still further, saying that "out-
side of those products which have
been taken from the free list and
on which compensatory duty
has to be given, like wool, 1t will
be very much below the Payne
Aldrich bill"
The statement charges the op.
position with doing everything pos.
sible to delay the passage of the
bill, but pledges the farmers and
farm organizations which have
asked for a protective tariff that
the Senate Finance Committee will
rush 1t through as fast as the
rules of the Senate will permit.
For the first time in the history
Of the United States farm products
are placed on a protective basis,
he says.
