what has his tail got to do with it?"
inquired Bobby Coon, who had oeen us
tening.
HE hangs onto the branches with his
tail" replied Boomer. Instead OF nav
ine a broad, thick tail covered with
little spears, like Prickly Porky'S, TINS
fellow has long tail without any lttle
spears on it, or even any halr on IL;
And he can curl the end OF that tail
around a branch and hang on in great
style. If he wants to get away out
where the limbs are small, he can
anchor himself with that tail OF his ana
run no risk of falling"
That's all very we'll" replied Prickly
Porky, but what does he do when he
has to fight? What does he do when
Buster Bear gets after him? Or Puma
the Panther"
Buster Bear isn't down there" re-
nlied Boomer, "and while Puma the
Panther lives down there, your cousin
has nothing to fear from him, or very
little. You see. your cousin doesn't fool
around on the ground very much. He
spends a good deal of his time up in the
treetops, where Puma the Panther can
not possibly follow him. That is where
that tail of his comes in handy.
Prickly Porky considered this a few
minutes. Then he grunted Well,
said ne. Il prefer my own tail. never
would feel safe with any other kind OF
tail. If that fellow down there really
has long tail, as YOU say he has,

LOWDEN BACKS
FARM FEE

Proponents of the McNary-Haugen
farm relief bill, with the equaliza-
ton fee intact, were heartened to-
day by renewed assurances of sup
port from former Governor Frank
%. Lowden of Illinois.
Lowden was here to attend the
funeral of former Representative
Dwight of New York
There must be either an equal
azation fee or something like it.
! something that gives exactly the
same assistance to the cooperative
movement, said Lowden. There
can be no compromise, for in this
instance compromise would mean
surrender.
s Hearings before the House agri-
culture committee revealed that a
number Of supporters of the Nc
Nary Haugen measure have turned
against the equalization fee. A
compromise bill may be reported
from committee.
Lowden, ranked with Secretary
Hoover and Vice President Dawes
As the big three" among Republi-
can Presidential candidates, de-
clined to discuss politics.

Unless some one of the weekly

evening develops particular star

milky way rather han the display
of a glittering comet with nebula
Of lesser brilliants following in its

of exactly that happening. however,
so ears will be tuned with receiving
sets as usual. In any event there
will be a rather nigh standard OF
music in general because the pro-
grams of a Monday are rather high

There is a possibility that StanIey
William Bell. the baritone who VIII
perform at $50 for WMAL will step
outside the bounds Of the ordinary
popular ditty to which his program
is to be devoted, and astonish the
multitudes-because Bell has the
capacity for doing that sort OF thing
both as to voice and musical intel
legence.
Then again it may be that the
General Motors wholesale display
will provide something of chance
for Lawrence Tibet the Metropcii-
tan Opera baritone, to display his
genius. Tibbett is a singer who has
forced his way to the top by sheer

COSGRAVE'S FIRST

Perhaps one ought to have started
q report of the weekend on the
wave lengths with some reference
to President William T. Cosgrave,
Of the Irish Free State and the
address he made to the Irish Fellow
ship Club of Chicago Saturday eve
ming. It was a herman talk about
a herman job and gave listeners
some interesting information-in-

duced both ways. Then there was
the sample educational program by
Walter Damrosch and the New
York Symphony Orchestra. which
was interesting and the presentation
Of the RED Mill by Jessica Drag
onette and the Philco group, which
was entertaining. Both of these
came Saturday evening,
The Fox Theater Symphony made
= itself very much part of the Sun
day program during the Afternoon
with an excellent concert played in
Adolph Kornspass' own individual
way. The new ACQUISITION exercises
were most welcome also, with their
songs of Is years ago. In the Wey-
mouth Band recital the Marine Corps
were given bit of boost. and some
Of Capt. Taylor Branson's music
was played with the usual Wey-
mouth vim and vigor.
An interesting Sabbath contribu-
ton came from VIDAL in the early
1, evening when the studio staff pre-.
:. scented a program of music by Nor
wegian composers In fine style. The
Golfers Hour introduced George
Weston. the novelist, for short and
entertaining talk and made rather
a dramatic episode of the re-entrance
of the emperor of America to the
radio cenario.
A hurried note from the National
Broadcasting Company this morn
ing announces that this evening al
8 o'clock the new studios of the
company in Chicago will be opened
with a Montgomery Ward program
The entertainment will be SEM
over the WIZ circuit so that WRC
fans only have a sort of outside
tuning interest in it. But wei

studios before we're through the
season. we understand.

The Homers paid neighborly
visit to the living rooms of the
Nation last evening. That is, Mrs.
Homer came over with young Kath-

because he had to stay at home

object of their visit seemed to be

prize with his magnificent, baritone
voice. Mrs. Homer said she thought
he would find lots of singers among

willing to help him. If he sings all
the time like he did last night-he
won't need much help. If ever a
fine rich voice and an intelligence
to use it was given young man.

OIL USED ON FIRE
CAUSE OF FATALITY
Mrs. Martha Bradley of Near East
Falls Church Burned-Son Breaks
Leg in Second-Story Leap.
Special Dispatch to The star.


FAIRFAX, Va, December 13.--
Authorities Of Fairfax County deemed
unnecessary an inquest into the death
of Mrs., Martha Bradley at Georgetown
University Hospital yesterday after
noon, of burns sustained when her
home at Fostoria, near East Falls
Church, was destroyed by fire. Frank
Bradley, the woman's 18-year-old son
is at the hospital suffering from a
fracture of the leg
Mrs Bradley poured Oil on live Goals
in the stove at her home while clear
ing away the breakfast dishes. The
flare caused her to drop the oil can,
splattertng the room and her clothing
with the blazing fluid. Two small
children fed to safety as Mrs. Bradley
screamed. Her son, employed at night,
was asleep in his room on the second
floor. His leg was broken as he leaped
from window and he suffered burns.
