 Prior to the medical society meet ing, Dr. Smith had met with the parent-teacher group at the request of that organization. and listened to . plan outlined by which free ex- aminations might be offered to about 1000 children of school age whose parents might wish to avail themselves of the offer. It was ex- plained that examinations during the summer months would make it possible for these children to enter school next fall with clean bill of health and those who were found to have physical defects, would have an opportunity to remedy them be- fore the opening of the fall term.

 Immediate protest followed Dr. Smiths report to his society. The argument was advanced that Dr. Ja- cob Mellon and Dr. Harriet E.

Jack Perry Shot By Sam Thomas in Fracas Over
 Crap Game

Accused of shooting and killing Jack Perry of kensington in an ar gument during a crap game at the Thomas home on Christian Lane last night. Sam Thomas. also of Ken sngton. was today the object Of . state wide search conducted by the state police. Thomas fled from his home after the affair and has not been seen since. Both principals in the affair are Negroes.
 It is claimd by witnesses that Thomas shot Perry after the latter had drawn a gun on him. demand ing fifty cents 70 he could get into the game When he was refused. 1t is claimed that Perry fired two shots narrowly missing Mrs. Thomas and her baby which she had in her arms. Thomas then went into the pantry and procured his own gun. with which he fired one shot. strik- ing Perry in the abdomen and kill ing him insta ntly.
 Thomas ran from the house ard was not seen by any one in his dash after he had left the house. He took his own gun and Perry's with him.
 Constable Orvilie Ventres. who was on duty at the Styles and Reyn- olds brick yard . short distance away was notified. as was Constable Frank Brown of kensington. Aftes investigation failed to locate the al. legged slayer, the state police were notified this morning. They were at the scene of the murder today and are attempting to receaStruct it. This is . difficult problem. As the friends of the murdered man are sincere in their story that the run carried by him was not fired and they place the blames on Thomas claiming that he fired the sNly sAeea in the affray.

Reddy Fox Makes Discovery.

Reddy Fox was hungry. 1t was
nothing new for Reddy to be hungry.
If any one knows what hunger is, it
is Reddy Fox. There are times when
for long periods Reddy has very little
to eat. But Reddy is not the kind TO
be discouraged just because he IS
hungry.
Reddy stood in his doorway and tried
to make up his mind where he would
60 hunting that night. Winter had
come and Winter usually means hard
times for many of the little people OF
the Green Forest and the Green
the meat eaters, for they cannot store
up food; it will not keep.
1T is going to be fine moonlight
night" said Reddy to Mrs. Reddy, who
had just joined him. Il think Ill go
exploring tonight"
What do you mean by exploring?"
asked Mrs. Reddy.
L mean" replied Reddy, that I'll
60 hunting where I have never been
before: or at least where I have not
been for very long time. The Green
Forest and the Green Meadows haven't
given us much of late and it seems a
waste of time to hunt over the same
old ground. So think I'll go farther
from home this time"
"A good idea, Reddy, a very good
idea," said Mrs. Reddy. Shall I go
with you?"
NO" replied Reddy. mo, my dear
Why don't you go in a different direc-
ton and explore? That will double
our chances of finding a good hunting
ground. Then tomorrow night we can
60 wherever the hunting is best
Mrs. Reddy nodded her hear approx
fnulv sfFThat SY1ifS me sold che
You go one way and I'll 60 another
way and between us we ought to find
something. My. my, but am hungry.
A mouse, good fat mouse, wouldn't

Reddy grinned. "I feel much the
same way" said he. II can't think of
anything in all the Great World that
would make me quite so happy as a
good fat hen, unless it were two good
fat hens. Well, it is time we were off.
Watch out for dogs, my dear, watch
out Tor dogs. Don't take any chances :"
advice, Reddy," said she. That's very
good advice, but If we didn't take any
chances, I'm afraid we would starve.
Lie seems to me very much like one
chance after another. Well, here's good
hunting for you"
And to you" replied Reddy as he
trotted of along one Of the cowpaths
Of the Old Pasture.
Reddy knew just where he was going.
There was a distant farm he had once
crossed long time before. He hadn't
hunted there, but he had always kept
tnat farm In mind as a place where
he would hunt some time. There were
chickens there. There were ducks
there also. Reddy had heard both that
time when he was crossing the farm.
He didn't know anything about how
well they were protected. He meant to
find out tonight
So Reddy trotted along, keeping
always in the shadows. It was a long
way to that farm and several times
he was tempted to stop and hunt by
the wayside. But he didn't. And SO
at last he reached that farm. Then
Reddy became very, very cautious.
There were lights in the farmhouse,
so Reddy waited. He wouldn't 60 too
near until those lights were out. Not
far from the barn was an orchard
There were old apple trees, big ones.
Reddy made his way over to the Old
Orchard. AS he stole along In the
shadows he heard a movement above
him. He looked up. He saw a dozen
great dark masses against the sky. He
knew what they were.
Turkeys" muttered Reddy under
his breath. Turkeys roosting In a
tree!'
