on his way to one of his favorite
hunting grounds when he caught sight
OF Reddy Fox floundering along in the
snow. At once he headed that way
to see If Reddy might have started
some one that he, Hooty, could catch.
AS he drew nearer he saw Jumper
the Hare. If Jumper had been squat
ting motion1ess the chances are that
Hooty wouldn't have seen him. But
Jumper was hopping along on the
snow just ahead of Reddy Fox in the
most provoking way. Now If there is
any one dinner Hooty likes, it Is a
dinner of Hare. He saw at once that
Jumper was giving all his attention to
Reddy. That Hare dinner looked like
a sure thing. 1 am certain that Hooty
would have grinned if he could have
He set his great curved claws ready
to strike. and, noiselessly, for all the
world like a moving shadow, headed
straight for Jumper. TT would be
fun to take a dinner right from under
the nose Of Reddy Fox thought
Hooty.
1t was Peter Rabbit who was first
aware of Hooty the Owl. Peter was
greatly interested in watching Jumper
and Reddy; but he didn't forget to
watch out for possible enemies. So it
was that he saw what at first looked
like a drifting shadow, but which in
a moment he recognized as Hooty the
OWL. BY that time Hooty was just
reaching with those great feathered
feet with their dreadful claws. to
seize Jumper. Without stopping to
think that he was giving himself
away, Peter thumped that old log. 1t
was the danger signal. Instantly
Jumper lodged.

WINTER
BY d. c. PEATTIE.
Ice on the River.

Jade green, and sea green. and SILL
YER thin film of ice, has locked the
Potomac in a frosty embrace. The
little skiffs that bring firewood up
from the tidewater have ceased to sail.
and more than one barge is half
keeled over at its moorings, where the
showing ice has elbowed it aside.
True, underneath the glaze of Ice
still dart the big fish and the schools
Of little ones. But Winter has the big
Potomac in it's power. At present
there is no denying that in many
spots the beautiful film of ice is an
alluring treachery.
Rock Creek, more easily conquered
by the cold, is already in many places
a winding river of ice. and up in the
Virginia hills the little brooks are
TRANSPORTED into something incredibly
beautiful, as they take their tumblng,
meandering courses downward. But
still, underneath their frozen surface
the water runs, Chortling and gurgling
over rocks and logs.
The only really safe places to skate
are on the shallow artificial water
ways, and the treacherous Potomac is
best enjoyed now only as thing of
beauty, with its pale green high lights
and its open pools, where ducks bob
and paddle in their icy baths.

Emotion and Blood Pressure.

Anger, fear and pain tend to in
crease The blood pressure.
Grief. sorrow, disappointment or
disbursement tend to reduce it be-
low normal.
Great joy raises the blood pressure.
Intense disgust lowers it.
All of these emotions influence the
tone or state of partial contraction OF
the muscular coat of the arteries
through the sympathetic (autonom10
vasomotor nervous system and the
adrenal glands.
Prof. Walter B. Cannon has explain
ed how such effects are brought about.
Anger raises a mans blood pressure
just as it does the hair on a cats back.
Suppose through some sudden emo
ton, such as the receipt of sad news,
the vasomotor nerves fail in their
duty of maintaining the arterial tone.
The arteries suddenly relax or dilate,
and a large share of the entire blood
pours into the dilated arteries and
the heart beats rapidly, but not
enough to compensate for the great
lowering of blood pressure, so that the
victim faints, for the supply of blood
to the brain is temporarily too small
to maintain consciousness.
Great excitement, on the other
hand, causes an outpouring of a large
amount of the adrenal gland secretion
into the blood stream, and this strong
ly stimulates the vasomotor SYM
pathetic nerves, contraction of the
arterioles follows and the blood pres
sure is SO increased. Whether a life
in which there Is too much excite
ment a constant play of the violent
emotions, will eventually bring hard
ening Of the arteries, is a debated
question, but I believe abnormal emo
tional excitement is one of the factors
of cardiovascular (heart and artery

SHADOW.
Jumper was a prisoner right there
because he couldn't get about in that
soft snow fast enough to be safe.
Il wish my feet We're big" muttered
Peter, WiStfully.
Jumper was teasing Reddy Fox. 1t
didn't seem right to tease one who
was hungry, but Peter knew just how
Jumper felt. Many a fright had
Reddy Fox given Jumper. Many a
time had Jumper had to run and dodge
to save his life from Reddy. Now he
had d chance to get even in a way
1t isn't nice to get even, but some
times it is a great temptation. SO
Jumper was keeping just out of reach
of Reddy and was laughing at him.
1t wasn't often that Jumper had such
u chance, and he was making the
most Of it. He was so intent on this
that he had forgotten everything else.
He had forgotten that there might be
other hungry enemies abroad. In
short, he was so enjoying this teasing
of Reddy Fox that he had forgotten
to watch out-a thing that none Of
the little people of the Green Forest
can afford ever to do.
Now, as you know, Jumpers coat
was snowy white. Sitting still he
looked like a little heap of snow. and
the sharpest eyes would be likely to
overlook him. But when he moved,
as he was doing now, watchful eyes
would be almost sure to see him. This
IS why he should never for moment
have ceased to keep watch.
Now Reddy Fox wasn't the only
hunter abroad that night. In fact,
there were several. But there was one
to whom the snow made no difference
in getting about. 1t was Hooty the
Great Horned Owl. Hooty was
hungry, for he had not been able to
hunt the night before on account OF
the snowstorm. So his great, fierce
eyes looked even fiercer than usual as
on his noiseless wings he hunted
through the Green Forest. He was

Clarence Mitchell, of the Phillies,
who was 35 years old last February,
senior of Fletcher's staff topping
Phillie pitchers with three victories

Rice, of the Browns, and Coch-

finds of 1925 in the American

who hit for 1853 last season,
benched, and Cochrane, who hit

not all.
