Old May Coyote Hears Run,or

Old May Coyote Hears a Rumor
BY Thornton w. Burgess
When rumors fly truth hides her
head,
And for a time Is seeming dead.
Old Mother Nature.
You know what = rumor Is or
course; everybody knows what
rumor is. It is a story which nobody
knows is true but which everybody
half believes and passes along to the
next one and nobody knows just
where 1t started. There was q rumor
going all over the Green Meadows
and through the Green Forest that
there was something very. very
strange about Old Man Coyote.
There was a rumor that he had been
seen in the Old Pasture and in the
Green Forest at the same time.
Now.sof course. such = rumor
didn't get to Old Man Coyotes ears
right away. You see, by this time his
neighbors were too much afraid of
him to stop to gossip. But at last
Sammy Jay came over to the Old
Pasture. Sammy had heard this
rumor and he wanted to settle 1t for
himself as to whether or not it was
true. He found Old Man Coyote ly-
ing down on his doorstep.
Good morning. Neighbor Coyote.
Were you ever in two places at the
same time" said Sammy.
Old Man Coyote sat up abruptly.
What's that?" he demanded.
7 asked" repeated Sammy. eff
yop ever were In two places at the
same time"
Don't be silly SNAPPED Old Man
Coyote. "Of course not. Nobody
could be in two places at the same
time. II I'm here, l can't be there;
and If I'm there. l can't be here"
Just the same" persisted Sammy,
Peter Rabbit declares that he saw
you just entering the Old Pasture at
the same time that Johnny Chuck
declares he saw you over on the
edge Of the Green Forest"
Peter was right and Johnny was
wrong" declared Old Man Coyote.
Il haven't been over to the Green
Forest lately"
And" continued Sammy Jay.
'Hooty the Owl declares that he
left you sitting on your doorstep in
the Old Pasture and flew straight
over to the Green Forest. to find you
already there. He told my cousin.
Blacky the Crow, and Blacky told
me-"
By this time Old Man Coyote was
sitting UP with his ears cooked and
a look OF growing interest on his
face. DO you really believe that,
Sammy Jay?" he demanded.
DO I really believe what" In
quired Sammy.
do you really believe that
Hooty the Owl left me on my door
step In the Old Pasture and flew
straight down to the Green Forest
10 find me there"
'No-o-o. l can't say I do" replied
Sammy. But I've heard you yelp-
ing up here at the Old Pasture and
at almost the same tiufe yelpng
down in the Green Forest That I've
heard myself"
1T must have been an echo you
heard" replied Old Man Coyote.
Il don't think So" replied Sam
my. I'll tell you what to do, Old
Man Coyote. Howl right now and
see what happens. Howl right now
and see If we get an echo"
Old Man Coyote pointed his nose
right up at the sky and howled.
Then he and Sammy listened eager
ly. There was no reply. There was
no echo. They waited and waited.
Try 1t again." said Sammy.
Old man Coyote did try 1t again.
Hardly was the last note out Of his
mouth when from over In the
Green Forest there came an echo.
But was It an echo, Sammy looked
very hard at Old Man Coyote, and
Old Man Coyote looked very hard
At Sammy.

the town should be prepared now for
the time when it would be given only
a years notice to withdraw.
Richard H. Erwin led the opposi-
ton to the high school building and
brought figures which he had pre-
pared to show that ~ pupils are now
sent from Newington New Britain
High school and eight to Hartford
High school. Mr.. Erwin was the
only member of the school board
who did not endorse and sign the
recent memorandum of facts pre-
pared by the board in regard to this
same question. 1t was Mr.. Erwin's
idea that a school be built in the
southeast district of the town to re-
lieve the congestion at the Center.
But evidence was strong enough to
prove to tho voters that such a
building would not accomplish the
desired end and the matter was re.
jected along with the proposal OF a
high school building.
A good deal of discussion centered
around the question as to whether
or not the pupils attending out Of
town high schools would derive
mode advantage than if they attend
ed a high school built here.
The petition which proposed the
erection of a school in the southeast
district and would give the selectmen

power to buy property there was re-
jected because. in addition to there
being opposition to the matter,
Chairman Harry H. Howard OF the
school board cited sections OF the
statutes of the state which proved
that such a matter must be brought
before the school board and also ap-
proved by the board of finance. Mr.
Erwin gave reasons for his thinking
that such a school was necessary and
expressed the opinion that it would
relieve the congestion at the Elm
Hill school.
Along with the other matters to
come up which were eventually
tabled or rejected, the matter of buy
ing insurance to cover any liability

willing 10 have the matter come up
at the meeting. However. he report

at which there were large number
of voters present. The proposed
building of a school in the south

turned down.
Because of the recent raise in tut

the Hartford High school, many
were of the opinion that some such
action would be forthcoming from

The original plan was to initiate

INVENTS WINGS
FOR CHILDREN

ROCHESTER, N. Y. Dec. Z.
Convinced that in the early stages
of animal life that which we now
call man did fly" c. Mckinney,
has invented a pair of wings with
which he belives children may be
able to initiate their distant ances-
tors.
Patent has been applied for by
Mckinney for the device, which has
received no test in the air. 1t is
made to initiate two silk wings.
The inventor says:
"I do not wish to say that
would be able to put on pair of
these wings and fly with them
with ease, but l believe that IL you
were to give sets of these wings to
thirteen boys from to Is years
old, some would soon be flying a
little"
The inventor Is an optimist, for
he adds:
when the wings have been on
their arms for "a WHILE. they'll for
get that they are there and will go
the same as a4bird. Allowing that
they do not fly for fifty years, there
is no reason why they should not
have them to play with.

States went to war with Germany
He wasn't another Walter Johnson,
but in baseball as in everything else
he liked his smoke"
He had gone to the Giants after
leaving Fordham college, where he
was marked as the speedy football
player who in an emergency could
dash around the end and score a
needed touchdown.
Quitting baseball in 1917, he en-
tered the air service, and he has
been flying ever since.
He sent an official record OF 243.6
miles per hour at st. Louis in Oc-
tober, 1923. Later he lifted this mark
to 266 miles per hour.
In 1925, over Long Island, he
piloted a plane at 302 miles per
hour, but with a diving start. The
feat was not officially recognized.
An old shirt is Williams talisman
on his flying exploits. He never
fails to wear 1t when he's out IN
search of a new record.
Some day, Williams believes, man
will lift his air speed to 500 miles an
hour-at which pace, a New York
to-Paris flight would be made in
less than eight hours.

Thousands Are Employed to
Combat Flames That
Take Huge Toll.

BIZ NEA Serrice
MISSOULA, Mont, July 29.-The
annual forest bonfire with its mil
lion-dollar losses is about to begin.
Fires are raging in five forests,
and with indications that this will
be another dry summer and early
fall, crews at the forest service
warehouses here and at other CEN
tiers of the Northwest have been
shipping supplies to the thousands
of men who will be employed to
check the costly, terrible, ravenous
eating of the fire demon in the ma
tional timber reserves.
This town of Missoula is really
the forest fire fighting headquar-
tiers for the whole Northwest.
Is Fire War Headquarters
The central buying organization
for the forest service is maintained
here. and points as far away as
Alaska and Tennessee get their fire
fighting equipment from here in an
emergency.
Twenty thousand rations have
been placed in canoes at vital
points in the forest, awaiting the
day of need when fire crews will
come in to fight the flames.
Equipment for 1000 extra fire
fighters is on hand in the ware
house. AS indication of the scope
Of the shipments, it is stated that
100 cookstoves have been sent out
from the warehouse this year.
Expenses Go High
Food and supplies amounting to
between $350,000 and 100000 are
distributed from the forest service
centers each year, the total de-
pending to great extent upon the
fire season.
Last year, LAB forest fires spread
over this district, leaving 1886, Asst
acres of burned, worthless timber,
320857 acres of this land being ma
tional forest reserve. This is more
than six times the damage Of pre-
vious years.
From 1916 to 1920, forest fire
losses were estimated at S85, IT'S 900,
an average of $170OO,0O0 a year for
the whole country.
Organized forest fire fighting has
cut down the losses somewhat, but
they near the $1O,0O0,00O mark an
nually, in spite of all precautions
and the precautions cost nearly
$5,000,000 a year.
