HOOVER MAY
STAY ACTION
Not Expected to Deal
With Legislation
At Washington

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-P-To
the uncertainty about the proposed
special session, farm relief and tariff
revision has been added the report
that Herbert Hoover was not inclined
to give his preferences about legis-
lation until after his Inauguration.
With the news that he was on his
way to Washington IL was felt by
few words from the president-elect
would restore harmony. These few
words may not be said.
Just ut present there are some
who favor u special session for farm
relief. Others favor a special ses-
sion but want the tariff revised.
Still others want both considered
and finally some want no special ses-
sion at all.
Opponents OF a special session for
farm bill could be passed by this
congress. They point out that a
bill, conforming to administration
ideas, has already been introduced
BY Senator McNary Of Oregon.
President-elect Hoover said during
the course of the campaign that he
would cali n SpcCldl SessloH " 1OH-
grcss IL some solution Of the farm
problem were not found before he
took office.
Among those who think that a
satisfactory farm bill could be passed
before March 4, are Speaker Long
worth and Representative Tilson, the
majority floor leader.
Mr.. Longworth's views and Mr.. Til
sons views on the time for farm re-
lief are almost Numerically opposite
to Senator Borah's views. The Idaho
senator, n staunch Hoover supporter
during the campaign, takes the at
titude that the republican party pro-
missed n special session for farm re-
lief and that the promise should be
carried out.
Most Of the members Of the con
gress sympathetic with farm relief
feel that a farm bill is needed but
others thing that the most good
would come to agriculture by a ju-
dicious alteration Of tariff schedules.

HOW FAST CAN A

Especial to The Herald)

~ A0
HARLINGEN. Dec. 27.-Just how
fast can a right angle curve be
made in an automobile?
This is an argument which two
young men in this city decided to
settle by experience, with the re-
suit that the automobile in which
they we're driving did a flip, and
was bent up some. although the
boys escaped without injury.
Selecting the highway intersec-
tion near the edge Of Harlingen,
they came down the road ready to
make the turn, with one of the
boys driving. He held the ear to
SO miles an hour. and succeeded in
getting around the corner.
Then the other tried il at SO,
and the car turned over.

The Fighters

It's hard for one upon the bleachers
TO estimate these fighting creatures.
One day o fighter seems q winner, an
expert, not raw beginner. and We
predict he'll draw the money by punch
Ing holes through Mr.. Tunney. He is
no minor, he's major: but II we're
wise, We make no wager. Perhaps the
next time we behold him, some dub
up0n the floor has rolled him. We all
assumed that Fighter Sharkey was
cheesy, punk and easy-marky; he made
at times 20 bad showing that to the
dump we saw him going: his reputa-
ton was diminished, ne seemed has
been, done and finished. And then,
behold. we met Delaney, upon an eve
ming bleak and rainy, and he was like
John l., In action, man Of speed and
force and traction. And we who lately
criticized him, called him piker and
advised him TO sell hot dogs to earn
his money, are saying now he'd conquer
Tunney No doubt he is a fine old
stager, bur let us all decline 10 wager.
Phi Scott came sailing Ger the ocean
and he possessed the silly notion that
he was equal 10 the blighters who pile
up fortunes here as fighters. He met
. scTapper shortly after; the sports all
greeted him with laughter; he topped
around, his own feet tripped him, a
second-rater calmly whipped him. His
awkward showing should have shamed
him: "a false alarm We promptly
named him, and roared him down with
1eeFg and 3oSheS, He cannot fight for
n1sasty Squashes". But later on he met
q foeman. an able and efficient Roman.
and Philip polished him 50 neatly. We
said, He has come back, completely"
We view him now with smiles SO sunny.
and say that he would beat Gene Tun-
ney. SO we indulge in roasting, petting,
but If we're wise, we balk at betting.

the water comes creeping In through
the sand and by and by there is enough
in there to partly I'LL that hole. which
really is then little pool. The WORK
| Of Big StickytoeS is done then. He sits

calls. He does this at night. His voice
can be heard quite long distance
| There he sits and calls and calls al
night long for Mrs. Stickytoes. When
| daylight comes he climbs tree, and
there he sleeps and stays the whole day

| and by Mrs. Stickytoes answers.
Big StickytoeS invites her to come
and see the pool he has made. Some.

quite bit. But at last she comes, and
| II she likes the little pool Big Stickytoes
has made, then that becomes their
home. BY and by Mrs. Stickytoes de-
positS her eggs there. and a little later
that little pool is full of tiny tad
poles. It's the safest kind of place
for them"
'Poohl" interrupted Stickytoes. a IF
there is water in that partly dried-up
brook. I don't see the sense in going
to work and digging little pool.
should think those pollywogs would
much prefer a bigger place to live in"
That is because you don't know
about conditions down there" replied
Scrapper. Personally, think it Is very
smart of Big Stickytoes to make little
pool like that Your tadpoles have
enemies In the Smiling Pool, do they
note"
Stickytoes nodded "Of course" said
he. Il guess all babies have enemies.
But there are plenty of hiding places
in the Smiling Pool for the tadpoles
to keep out of the way OF their
enemies"
Scrapper nodded. Il thought So" said
he. But down there it is very different.
You see. when a brook almost dries up
down there. all the fish and other
enemies of little tadpoleS are crowded
together in the water that remains. So
tadpoles would have very little chance
there. That is why Big Stickytoes makes
little pool all his own. In that there
are no enemies to eat the baby tadpoleS.
BY the time the rain comes and the
dry season is over, those tadpoleS are
big enough to look out for themselves.
Then the water rising in the brook
overfiows the little pool and they swim
out to take their places In the Great
World"
Thank you. Scrapper." said Sticky
toes. TITS hard to believe, but I do
believe It,"
Scrapper chuckled. "T could tell you
of another cousin of yours who does
something stranger STILL" said he.

Frog, felt as If he just couldn't wait
for Scrapper the King Bird TO come
back and tell him about his cousin Big
Stickytoes, who lives down in the warm
country where Scrapper goes every VIM

came back to where SticEytoes was, in
q certain ample tree in the Old Orchard
No sooner had Scrapper settled himself
than Stickytoes began to tease for news
about his big cousin.
Scrapper tormented him for few
minutes by pretending not to know

what he was talking about Then he
took pity on Stickytoes. Your big
cousin" said he, ought to be called Big
Stickytoes. and that is just what am
going TO call him. Along in the latter
part Of the dry season Big Stickytoes
begins to think about a mate, just as
you do early in the Spring. But Big
Stickytoes knows that he cannot find
mate by looking for her. and that she
will not come looking for him until he
has little pool for her to live in. So,
just as birds build nests, Big Stickytoes
makes a pool.
He hunts up the bed of brook that
Is pretty well dried up. and he finds
nice little sandy bar close to the little
water that remains. Then he digs
little hole in the sand close to the
waters edge With his front feet he
pats the sand into a little sort of dam
oil around his little hole. After a while
