Since then | have seen all OF those

kctball, vollcy ball. tennis, horse
shoes, or go fishing, hiking. frog
hunting, or canoeing. Then can
get to swim three times a day and to
top il all of ! get three square meals

Besides all this | know that l will
be in the kind OF moral atmosphere

Bedtime Stories
Little Mr.. Smarty Is Left. to Himself.
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Who does q aorong mast olaoays

II not at once, some other day.
-Old Mother Nature.

Little Mr.. Smarty, the young Fox
who liked to show off and who had
made the sad mistake of trying to
eaten one of Jimmy Skunk's children,
had Deen sent down into the house,
which you know is in the ground,
and told to stay there while. His
mother, Mrs. Reddy, had spoken SO
sharply that the little Fox didn't
dare disobey. OF course, he took with
him that dreadful odor from the little
Skunk. You see, that scent was in
his fur and there was no way of get
ting rid of it. 1t was so strong that
it seemed to him he would smother
Of ali the little people in the Great
world there was none SO miserable
as that little Fox.
He wondered how long he would
have to stay there. His mother had
said he must stay there while, and
he wondered how long that while
was. He remembered that she had
said something about having to move
because Of that dreadful smell around
the old home. He wondered how soon
they would move and where thoy
would move to. 1t didn't enter his
head that he wouldn't go along with
the othe-s. He hadn't understood ar
all that he was to be left behind.
1t seemed to him that he had been
there days and days, though it really
was only couple Of hours, when
he heard his mother bark outside.
She was calling to him TO come OUT,
He wanted to rush out, but he didn't.
No, sir, he didn't do anything OF the
kind. He came out very slowly with
his head and tail hanging. This was
because he was SO ashamed.
On the doorstep lay two fat Mice.
There IS your supper" said Mrs.
Reddy. When you are through eating
go back in the house and stay there.
! will bring you your breakfast in
the morning"
I'll thought we were going to
move" whimpered the little Fox.
You are not" replied his mother
sharply. "The rest of us have
moved, but you are going to stay
right here. You are going to stay
here until You get rid of that dread
full smell"
Am going to live here all alone ?',
cried the little Fox. his eyes very
wide with fright.

luton expresses it's entire confidence
in the work which he has done and the
results that he has acc omplished thus
far in our behalf, and on behalf of the
taxpayers Of the City of New York by
bringing to the public attention the
matter of graft by so-called supervisors
in the public markets Of the City of
New York, and
"Be it further resolved, That this or
ganization hereby heartily commends
and indorses our counsel, Charles Fl
Levy, who has so ably handled the
legal end of this matter and whose
work and sound opinions have shown
results and who has been sustained by
the Supreme Court, State of New York,
Kings County"
Vote of Thanks to Tribune
The meeting also extended a rising
vote of thanks to The Tribune and it's
staff member, NJ Jay Racusin, who ex :
posed the grating conditions in the
street markets of the East Side in q
series of articles.
Finkelstein, who presided at the
meeting, broke down and wept when he
referred to the "brazen, malicious and
lying statements of Moskowitz. He
begged any one present who knew of
the slightest blemish in his record and
dealings with the peddlers to rise and
speak his mind. Not man moved.
He left the room, and, handing the
gavel over TO another, begged any dis
contented vender to tell his story TO
the meeting while he was not present.
None had anything to say.
Finkelstein said that if any super
visors should turn up and ask for
money he had some doubt as to whether
the men should give up the 81 fee or
not, since the ordinance giving Com
missioner of Markets Edwin j. O'Mal-
ley power to appoint supervisors and
regulate the collection of fees was de-
ciared in Judge Cropsey's decision to
be illegal, and 50 removes the pins
from under the entire system.
He thought that the men should be
assured some way Of the ultimate fate
Of their money and that until soma
such official assurance in the way of
regular city receipts from city officials
were forthcoming the money might be
withheld. The venders, however, were
not definitely advised on this point.
Fought Powerful System
"This should be great holiday for
you men," Finkelstein told the ped
dlers upon the opening Of the meeting.
You men, mere handful of you, with
the few pennies that you dared to sac
rifice at the cost of many necessities,
had the courage to fight powerful
system of grafters; in fact, a whole
administration that placed some thou

Dogs In Death Battle End
Feud That Split ? Families
Victorious CoIlies Owner to Move Back Into Double
House He Used to Occupy With BrotherinLaw,
Owner of Vanquished and Slain Bull Terrier

A five-year feud between collie and
q bull terrier which ended yesterday in
the iatter's death, after q Hfteen-min-
ute battle with his iong-hnired enemy,
at Heath Avenue ana Kingsbridge
Road, tha Bronx, reunited two fani-
lies after n three-year separation, They
quarreled over the dogs.
Adoiph Smith, occupant of double
house at 9a0 Northern Avenue, owner
OF Tony, the terrier. said last night
his brother in-law, Adam Simon, who
lives In an apartment at 2040 Grand
Avenue, the Bronx, had agreed to dis
pose Of Roger, the collie. With both
dogs out of the way, he said, the
Simons would resume residence in
their half of the double house, built
by the two families for joint occu-
pancy, but vacated by the Simons three
years ago.
Mrs. Simon said yesterday she moved
after refereeing dog fight every few
days for nearly twelve months. The
men argued perpetually, she said, over
the fighting qualities of the bull and
collie strains.
Arrangements were made Saturday
between the Smiths and Simons to pic
nic at Van Cortlandt Park yesterday. A
rendezvous was arranged outside the
New York Velodrome, in 225th Street.
Both families own sedan cars. Ac-
cording TO Smith, it had been arranged
to lock Tony and Roger each in his
owners car. but when Simon's automo-
bile drove up behind that Of the Smiths,
New-York tribune., 1922-09-11

parked short way beyond the Vefo-
drome in 226th Street, Tony, the bull,
emitted an angry "Woofp' lie bolted
through an omen window. A ten-ycar-
old son of che Simons, instructed to
chang on to Roger was thrown to the
car floor as the collie also plunged out,
Tony seized his enemy under the Jaw
In what appeared q death grip. Ef-
forts to separate the animals proved
futile. Beiabored with sticks, the bull
stuck to his hold. The collie made no
apparent effort TO free himself, but per-
mitted the bull to drag him about at
will. More than score of spectators
gathered, offering useless suggestions
for parting the combatants. Although
held in what seemed an unbreakable
grip, the collie gave no tongue, but lay
with legs curled under him and eyes
half closed.
Simon was trying TO light a news
paper torch with matches that would
not ignite, intending to scorch the bull
loose, when the scene changed.
Tony's undershot teeth slipped on the
sheepdog's hairy hide.
In fash the latter's scissor jaws
closed like 9 steel trap on his antago-
nist's bare throat.
1t was the wolf stroke. Tony died in
FIVE minutes without whimper. lie is
to be buried, Smith says, in a little
patch of ground at the rear of the
Northern Avenue double house. Roger

probably the biggest feature Of the
