asked Mrs. Eagle, as King Eagle re-
turned from a long flight.
King Eagle chuckled. IF should tell
YOU OF all I saw today would talk
YOU to DEATH" said he. ITO begin with,
Old Man Coyote has five children and
no one knows 1t but Old Man Coyote
and Mrs. Coyote and myself"
Couldn't you catch one OF those
youngsters? A tender baby Coyote ought
TO be good eating" said Mrs. Eagle.
1T couldn't be done today. my dear,
replied King Eagle. mo, sir. 1t couldn't
head for the longest time, but not once
did Mrs. Coyote leave them. But the
time will come when we may have q
chance to see what Coyote tastes like. y
What else did you discover?" IN
CURED Mrs. Eagle.
THAT Jumper the Hare and Mrs.
Jumper have a family just starting out
in the Great World" replied King Eagle.
"They were tempting. very tempting,
my dear. but they had an unfortunate
way of keeping under cover. I could
look down through the trees and see
them, but not once did they come out
in the open where l would nave
chance of swooping down and catching
one. But our tRIle Will CoIiiSs AlS ASoA >
our time will come"
Have you any other news from the
Green forest?" demanded Mrs. Eagle.
Nothing of importance" replied King
Eagle. Then he corrected himself. Per
haps It is of importance, though, OF
course, YOU know Yowler the Bobcat
and where he lives Do you know that
there is a Mrs. Yowler?"
Mrs, Eagle looked up quickly. Il
didn't knew It," said she. That isn't
the best of news. II there is a Mrs
Yowler, there is likely to be some little
Yowlers some time later. They may
interfere with our hunting. We must
keep an eye on the Yowlers. Yes, sir.
we must keep an eye on the Yowlers.
We can't afford to have them spoil our
hunting. Our own babies will soon
need a great deal of food and we can
not afford to waste time hunting for 1t.
Certainly, my dear, you should keep an
eve on the YowlerS. We cannot know
too many of the secrets of the Green

twice, and there was nothing there but
ice which had no value and no price, no
market rating: and then, his gas tank
running low, his plane came down upon
a foe, and he was left there In his
woe, for rescue waiting. When brave
explorers lose their goats we send out

COPS TO WEAR
BROWNE BELTS
New Summer Uniform
Order Goes to Kahn Co.

Sam Browne blets, first equip
ment purchased by all newly COM
missioned second Heutenants during
the World War, are to be part of the
summer uniform Of the Indianapolis
police department, Chief Claude M.
Worley announced today.
Last year puttees replaced the
long trousers and now the Sam
Browne belts will make the officers
appear even more military.
Kahn Tailoring Company has the
summer uniform contract, Worley
said. The local concern underbid
the Cincinnati companies that have
had the contracts for the past sew
eral years. The Sam Browne belts
will add only about 80 cents to the
total uniform costs, which includes
suit, cap, belt and putteeS, Worley
said.
He pointed out that the Sam
Browne belts are being more and
more adopted by metropolitan police
departments. Cities now using them
include Philadelphia, Cincinnati and
others. With the belts the officers
gun is in a holster at his side and
makes it easier to draw, Worley
asserted.

would introduce several character
witnesses for Hunt before resting
their case.
Attorneys Jerome Walsh and
Richard Cantillon for Hickman
we're expected TO introduce today
parts of a .32-caliber revolver,
claimed by Hickman, which they
commended would prove Hunt was
the actual slayer of Thoms.
Thons, who was killed during the
hold-up of his drug store Christmas
Eve. q year ago, was shot with a
.38-caliber revolver, State experts
have testified.
Mrs. Thoms, widow of the slain
druggist and a witness to the hold
up and shooting, testified Hickman
shot her husband. Don Oliver. the
policeman who battled with Hunt
and Hickman at the drug store,
testified Hunt was the actual slayer.
Under California statutes, if con-
Victed, both Hunt and Hickman are
equally guilty of the murder, al
though Hunt, because of his youth,
faces a maximum penalty of life i'm
prisOnment.

inter-American relations had been
clarified. Pleading he was not well
informed, Hughes declined to dis
cuss Secretary Hoover's candidacy.
L. S. Rowe, director general Of the

on the Ulua too, issued a statement
outlining the highly gratifying" re-
suits of the conference.
