ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The porcupineapple never caught
up to the snail-boat, so that was the
last the Twins ever saw Of him.
AS for the snail, he fell sound
asleep, and when he did so his horns
drew in. That brought the sail down
and the boat to dead stop.
"Well, this looks like the end of
it, said Nick. jumping out of the
cookie she'll boat and wading ashore
"It's the end of that anyway" said
Nancy, following ut Nick's heels

Just then there was thump and
a howl, and another thump and a
spit. and then more thumps and
howls and spits and the ground
around the Twins was simply COW
cred with cats and dogs all yelling
their heads off.
"It's raining cats and dogs" cried
Nick.

MOSCOW AND CHINA
(T'he New ReDublic)

NO sensible person can doubt
that Moscow is making every effort
to spread communism to China. 1t
Il still, as it has always been. the
hope Of the Soviet government to
bring about a communist revolu-
ton in every country on earth; 1t
looks upon propaganda with a
missionary zeal which amounts to
fanaticism.
But to pretend that Russia is re
SponsiDle for the present Chinese
situation, and 10 refer to the cal
legged aggression" Of the European
powers in China is monstrOus
perversion Of the plain facts
If communism had never been
heard of. the powers have done
enough to China and the Chinese to
ter are hostile now, hut that their
hostility has not kept them in per
petual revolt for many years. The
very negotiations now in progress
between the Chinese and the repre-
sentatives Of the Western powers
give the lie to the assertion tina:
by some miracle the Russians
have succeeded in imbuing China's
millions with united passion for
an abstract, highly technical doc
trine with little 8 gnificance for an
agrarian country like theirs, de
spite the fact that for many cen
turtles no one has ever been able to
get all the Chinese to unite for any
purpose at any time.

The queer man put on goggles,
buckled a strap under his chin, took
off his shoes and stuck them into his
pocket-to make him lighter he said
and stuck pin-wheel on the edge
of the brim of his huge hat. Instant
ly it started to buzz, the pin-wkeel
did, and the man began to rise.
Good bye!" he called. Sorry ]
can't take you, but this is one
passenger car I'll build IA rumble

Away he sailed through the air be-
fore the astonished children had q
Queens honey bees. When they
turned around, all the ,puppy-do:s
and kittens were gone, too.
"This is the queerest place yet"
said Nick. Nothing stays long
enough for you to do anything"
an stay" said another voice. The
Twins turned and saw sort of telc-
graph pole with about ten faces
painted all over it in bright colors.
"1'm regular stick-in-the- mud
said one of the faces. "They call me
a totem pole. But l don't know why
l never toted anything anywhere
and I've been here for so many years
I've started to count backwards"
That's true" agreed all the other
faces solemnly. But we've improved
our time. We've learned music. One
of us sings tenor, and one bass, one
toots like whistle and one goes
dum-dum like drum, and one
squeals like violin. We have a
whole orchestra. Please turn that
knob! Thank you"
The totem pole then played tune,
the queerest tune the children had
ever heard. 1t really sounded like
dozen wild animals all yelling to be
fed.
cts we who are queer" thought
the Twins politely. at is most
likely considered fine music here.
But it has nothing to do with bees.

he pictures it as a great thrill. And
so he lays off his job a day or uses
a good Sunday to try his hand at it.
The early subways to Sheepshead
Bay are crowded with deep-sea
fishermen. When they leave the
train the street leading to the boat
piers is packed from curb to curb,
each fisherman hurrying to get a
favorable place on a boat.
When the boats pull out their rails
are lined with men standing shout
der to shoulder. If one steps away
for a moment he may find himself
crowded out entirely.

ture starts out with an unusual
amount of humor and action which
keeps its pace right to the finish.
and that particularly is what one can
always count on whenever a Johnny
Hines feature comes to town. John

his pictures and the result is re-

1.-THE Cracker Jack" is the story Of
an enterprising and wideawake col
lege youth who determines to put re-
newed life and energy into his uncie's
factory force, and the manner in
which he accomplishes his aims is
decidedly interesting and highly
amusing. Johnny goes through six
reels of the most hectic sort of &C
ton and achieves most glorious
finish. Does he succeed? That is
just what he does, and he does it so
convincingly that one naturally feels
that he deserved every bit of it.

As the boat goes down the bay it
halts to buy clans from big fat
fellow in q rowboat. One boat will
take on as many as eight bushels of
clans. These are shelled by one of
the crew, chopped in pieces and dis
tributed to the fishermen in small
iron plates for bait.
After sailing through the lower
bay the boat after travelling about
two and half hours anchors in 80
to SO feet of water. Then the fishing
begins. At this time of the year
fluke, bass and black fish are run
ming and usually everybody aboard
catches at least one fish. Many of
them catch more than they can
carry.
These fish can be pulled in with IA
hand line as we'll as with rod and
reel. Any trout or fresh water bass
fisherman who reads this will sheer
at deep-sea fishing as sport. And.
in truth, there is a greater thrill in
catching one trout in an entire day
of fishing than in catching 40 fish
hauled up over the side of boat.
But the thrill for the land lubber
lies not in catching fish. His real
battle comes in trying to keep from
appearing seasick as the boat rolls
and pitches hour after hour. Beside
a day in a small boat in the open sea
a transatlantic trip is as nothing in
the way of stomach disturbance.

Each year from about July l to
October typhoid fever cases show
an increase.
Health authorities attribute part
of this increase to camp life. Get
ting back to nature is all right for
the city dweller, but the city dweller
should mix good dose of safety
with his romance.
This means that he should be
careful of his drinking water in
camp, and fight against flies which
carry typhoid fever germs from
sewage to the camp food.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Sponsors
of the constitutional amendment pro
hibiting child labor asserted today
that the apparent failure of the
amendment, thru it's rejection by one
fourth of the states, would not result
in their abandonment Of the fight for
its adoption.
The fight can and will, they said, be
carried on by campaigns in the reject
ing states, much after the manner thai
the eighteenth and nineteenth amend
ments were put thru state legisla-
lures.
The legislatures that have rejected
the amendment can reconsider their
action at any time in the future. Con
stitutional amendments remain pend
ing for years, and time and circum
stances may change the complexion Of
legislature.
