any doubt about it, you certainly are
smart"
Sammy continued to say nice things
about himself and to chuckle as he
planned how he would spread the hews
and thought of how this would upset
Reddy. You know, Sammy is always
delighted when he can upset Reddy Fox.
OF course, it wasn't bit nice of him
to have such thoughts, and it was very
conceited of him to think himself so
smart The latter is one of Sammy's
failings. But he is smart. There can
be no question about that, And l sup
pose he can't very well help knowing it.
SO Sammy sat and waited and watch
ed and planned mischief and wished
those babies would come out so that he
could know how many Reddy had. Mrs.
Reddy was the first to return. She
came so silently that sharp as Sammy's
eyes are he didn't see her until there
she was right on her doorstep with
something in her mouth. Then she
disappeared inside her house. Sammy
waited and waited until at last his pa
thence gave out. He fairly itched all
over to tell the news. So at last he
spread his blue wings and started back
for the Green Forest.

Little Stories For Bedtime
what sammy Jay Saw
D. YHoRMron W. BURsEss

CAMMY JAY, hiding in a. bush
where he could see the doorway
of the new home in the Old Pas
ture, saw Reddy Fox place on his door
step the result of his hunt and then
heard him bark softly. Almost at once
Mrs. Reddy appeared and took what
Reddy brought She disappeared inside
the new house and Reddy turned and
trotted off In the direction Of the Green
Meadows. 1t was clear to Sammy that
Reddy was going hunting again. Hard
" was Reddy out of sight than Mrs.
Reddy appeared once more, stood for
q moment on her doorstep as IL trying
to decide something, and then trotted
off swiftly toward the Green Forest.
All this time Sammy Jay sat per-
fectly still. His eyes snapped and
twinkled and his busy brain turned
over and over the surprising things
he had found out and tried to decide
how he could make use of his knowl-
edge. You know, there is an old say
ing that two and two viii always make
four. This is just a queer way of say
ing that If you are smart enough to
put two facts together you may be rea-
sonably sure that they will make a
third fact. That is what Sammy Jay
was doing as he sat, there In that bush
near the new home of Reddy Fox.
Sammy JAY" said he, talking to
himself while he waited for Reddy or
Mrs. Reddy to return, you're a smart
fellow. You're very clever chap.
You've found out something that Pm
sure not one of your neighbors knows.
You've found GU that Reddy doesn't
eat all the catches, but brings some
home and gives to Mrs. Reddy. You've
found out that Mrs. Reddy takes the
food down inside the house and. almost
right away goes hunting herself.
Now / can't, see down inside that
house, but don't have to know what
the secret is that is causing all this
hunting on the part of Reddy and Mrs.
Reddy. Babies Just as sure as I'm
a smart and clever Jay-bird there are
baby Foxes down there. My gracious,
the very idea of Reddy Fox having ba-
bies! L can't imagine it. He must
feel very grown up. 1 wonder how
many he has. / wish they would come
out. My, but this will be news to tell
on the Green Meadows and in the
Green Forest! sammy, Sammy, you
certainly are smart bird. There isn't

1fs147 I'd !.
Weak as we are, ignorant as We are,
we are strong and wise enough to know
we might just as well be out OF the
world as out of fashion. This is largely
a mans world and as such we are prac-
ficIly compelled to follow the styles
closely. Moreover, we ARE willing VIC
Tins. But there are some men VINO DO
not approve of the modern fashions
Fortunately they are tiny minority

selves accordingly, granting for the mo-
nient that we require any guiding.
Cardinal Logue Of ireland says there
was source Of justifiable pride in the
reserve and scrupulous modesty of
women and girls in the past" He goes
on to lament that he can not pride
himself on this any longer. He. is not
sure whether this Is due to a general
loss Of tenderness of conscience or a
slavish devotion to fashion,.
.sThe dress, or rather the want Of
Dress" he adds, .of the women Of the
present day is crying scandal There
seems to be rivalry among them as to
how little they can wear WITHOUT in
curing universal Reproduction.
1t seems to me that men who have
never had to wear dresses ought to try
to look upon the styles a little more
from our point of view, rather than
from theirs. The cries of scandal which
were raised in the past SCARCELY appear
justified now when we LOOK upon some
old tin-types. The ladies who were ac-
cused Of being slaves to the alleged inn
modesties of fashion then now appear
to be completely clothed in good taste.
The same, imagine, will doubtless be
true Of us some years hence and we will
probably look just as funny.

LARGER HIP POCKETS WANTED IN CHICAGO
Cabaret Raiders Show Need Of
 Hiding Places

CHICAGO, March 24.-Beginning Monday, tailors here will make hippock- cts even larger.
 Scores of unfortunates whose hip pockets were too shallow or who drank with an overdrawn frankness and nai- vete in the presence of sleuths, paid dearly for their failure to camouflage their drinks.
 Over POO celebrants ended in jail. The tactful and considerate officers of the law permitted their feminine companions to go free, but the latter had to go home alone.
 Delicatessen stores, chop suey palaces dance halls, restaurants and hotels in the gay Sheridan road district gave up reluctantly their supplies of stimulants.
 It was one of the most thorough raids in Chicago's history. Some 15O police men in plain clothes wandered blandly into the cabaret spots, walked among the tables as though looking for q place to sit down, and whenever they saw a jOvial host pouring drink, or detected the twinkle of crystal beneath a table, they arrested the owner of the intoxi- cants.
 One ingenious tippler absorbed his drinks through a rubber tube connected with the mouth of flask in his pocket, and escaped detection.

GERMAN POLITICS
 BEGIN TO STZZLE
Various Parties Are Busy Per-
 fecting Their Lineups

BERLIN, March 23.-(By the As sociated Press. )--The German politi- cal parties are perfecting their line ups for the forthcoming elections to the Reichstag. The party platforms, so far as they have been revealed, in- dicate that the political fight will cen ter about the principles champiOned by the extreme right and left parties.
 The German nationalist program makes a Chauvinistic bid for votes from men and women who desire the "rezestablishment of a Christian so- cial and monarchial state," and who are opposed to the stigma of German war guilt and the Versailles treaty. The United Socialists will wage their fight on the communities. Defense of the eight hour day and a demand for rigid taxation are parts of their plat form.
 The Bavarian reactionaries are boom ing Admiral Won Tirpitz as a presi- dentinl nominee.

2 ARCH BISHOPS TO BE INVESTED
 AT ROME TODAY
American Churchmen To
 Have Highest Ca thOlic Honor

ROME, March 23.-(By the. Asso- ciated Press. .)-Before the sun sets again over the Eternal City, Archbishop Hayes, of New York, and Archbishop Mundelein of Chicago will be cardi- nals of the Roman Catholic faith.
 Although their investure with the scarlet robes and hats and other trap pings of that high ecclesiastical office will not take place until the public consistory in the basilica of St. Peters Thursday morning, they will assume of ficially their place as D. -inces of the church from the moment of the reading of the papal "biglietti," which will be delivered to them by special pom .tifical emissaries immediately after the conclave in the hall of the consistory at 10 o'clock in the morning.
 Final Preparation Made
 All directly concerned in tomorrow's s ceremonies spent part of Sunday in final preparation. The pope, it is un- derstood, virtually has finished com posing his allocution, which probably will contain passages highly signifi- cant and interesting to the American branch of the church. It will be made public only after the secret consistory.
 The two archbishOps also put the gratitude, which will be delivered after receipt of the biglietti.
 Clad in the vestments of arch bishops, the two American prelates will take their places early in the morning to await official nomination from his holiness, which will be borne cere- moniously by three papal couriers. The couriers will proceed in liyeTied coach, sslraBq by two black hnraes to- where the archbishops hays elected to Feceyie the announeemeft.
 Archbishop Mundelein, with select body of friends, will await the monen- tous tidings in the college of the propa- gation, while Archbishop Hayes will hold himself in readiness at the Ameri- can college.
 Touches Of SpIendOr
 Although the ceremonies tomorrow will not be attended by as much pageantry as the public cOnsistory, they will not be without touches of splendOr of ritual, conforming with the age-old usages. The American prelates will be attended during the ceremonies by gentlemen-in-waiting, attired in medi- eval Spanish costumes. Archbishop Hayes will have with him as gentle men-in-waiting, Monsignor Gaetaai, and Archbishop Mundelein's attendant, will not be without touches. of splendor Biondi, brother of the apostolic dele gate in Washington. Archbishop Mum. delein will also be a; sisted by Mon signor Peter Quealy, of Rockville Gen. ter, Long Island, lifelong friend, and the Rev. B. J. Shell, of Chicago, his private secretary.

Marx Warns Germans To Full

BERLIN, March 23.-(By The As sociated Press. )-Ghancellor Marx, chief of the centrist party, addressing political meeting at Elberfeld today, uttered a warning against any Opposi- tion to the provisions of the treaty of Versailles. The Germans must with calm and sober understanding tread the sacrifical way of fulfillment of their hard and inevitable obligations, he said, in order to attain national, cultural and economic freedom through material sac rifices.
 The foreign minister, Dr. Stresemann, addressing an election meeting at Darmstadt, warned against any belief that the situation would be changed by tearing up the Versailles treaty.

DOUBT EXISTENCE
 OF SECRET PACT
Berlin Press Comments On
 Franco CzechO Treaty

BI4s zEsfell @ A. sociated Press. Doubt of the au- thenticity of the text of an alleged secret military pact between France and CzechoslovalEia, recently pub lished in Theodore Wolff's Berliner Tageblatt, is now being freely expressed in section of the Berlin press. The newspapers believe that Wolff was yic- timized by international forgers who specialize in the fabrication of diplo- matic documents.
 Vorwaerts, the socialist organ, pro- nounces the pact plain forgery, al- though it assumes the text was pub lshed in good faith. George Bernhart in the Vossiche Zeitung also questions the genuineness of the pact and cites textural peculiarities to support his contention. Incidentally Bernhard ex- presses the suspicion that German of- ficial quarters inspired the exposure, which he asserts was bound to prove inimical to German interests abroad and equally disastrous to Germany's relations with her eastern neighhor. The writer also assumes that Dr. Ed uard Benns, the Czeehoslovakian for eign minister, in view of his active connection with the League of Ma tiOns, would not dare become party to a pact which ran counter to league principles or which he would deliber- ately conceal from the league

 FOR VACATION

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March B. If you are in doubt u3out a suitable place to spend your vacation, go to bed. sF
 This is the advice of Rees w. Mic Curdy, 65-year-old banker, who is spending the last week of two months rest in private room in a local hospital.
 II thought of Europe, Palm Beach and Cuba. The more l thought about them, the more perplexed became, and I finally decided to go to the hospital" McCurdy said. "In leave here next week. Am I satis- field? We'll, look me over."
 To tired business men past 50 years old, McCurdy advises:
 If you want to add 10 years to your life, first slow up, take month or two off and go to bed and stay there"

'FIRPO PICTURES
 ALSO REPORTED
 IN CIRCULATION
Agents Inactive In Stop ping Them, World
 Asserts

NEW YORK, March .23.-Motion pictures of the Dempsey-Firpo boxing match, exhibited here last September, have been shipped about the country and shown in various cities in viola tion of the law, similarly to those of the Dempsey Carpenter fight, which a Senate committee has been investigat- ing, the New York World will say to- morrow.
 The newspaper has information that the system" of arrests and fines, al, legged to have hen followed in the Defnp. sey- -carl5ealtise films; was not elIe pro; cedure with the Dempsey -Firpo films, but that in most instances the latter were shown without any interference by offieiers of the law.
 Officials To Be Quoted
 Officials of the department of jus tice will be quoted as authority for the information that the department has made no effort to learn the facts of the situation. but that it will prosecute every alleged violation brought to its attention.
 The Dempsey -Firpo films. the World will say, were shown in Chicago for two months without federal interfer- ence despite efforts of municipal au- thorities to stop the exhibition. Neither did federal authorities interfere in Gin cinnati, according to the newspaper, but the exhibition. there was stopped by state censors.
 Charpea XVera FiInd
 Charges were filed against Fred c. Quimby of New York, named as one of the alleged conspirators in the Demp- sey-C Carpenter procedure and Alexan- der Pantages, theatre owner, was in dicted in Los Angeles after the pie lures were shown there, and their cases have not been disposed of, the World will point out. It will add that in San Francisco the exhibitors were fined, but continued to show the films.
 Officials here' of the department of justice said that the district attorneys in the places named by the World probably were Investigating these sup posed violations. They pointed out that if there was any violation it was in the and not the exhibition of the pictures, and, consequently, the violations might have occurred outside their Jurisdiction. In such circum- stances, the officials said, the apparent delay was applicable.
