BIG BUSINESS PROBE
OF CHARITY METHODS

New York. Representatives of
business corporations whose wealth
aggregates 0000,OOO,oOO created
committee to formulate general prin-
ciples for contributions to local char
table and philanthropic works. The
committee is headed by DR.. Edward
F. Gay of Harvard University School
of Business.
Community chests have put charity
on "a business basis" but the CEN
tralization of business has DESTROYED
local connections of these corpora
tions.
Chain stores and branches of manu-
featuring corporations, whose head
| quarters are in distant cities, no lon.
ger take part in city charity and well
fare drives, and the committee will
attempt to work out standards to gov
ern the new situation.

BEDTIME STORIES By y: 1H3RNTSN RTFGHsS1

Just as he was beginning to eat 1t. 1t
had been taken away from him. Just
where that turkey had been taken he
didn't see, for Mrs Reddy had carried it
off while he and Reddy had been fight
ing.
Under the barn Mrs. Reddy and
Reddy grtnned at each other across the
to have feast. "Now," said Reddy, "for
the finest dinner in the world"
I'll eat for you," said another voice.
1t was most unpleasant voice. It was
| voice that made the hair stand up the
| backs of Reddy and Mrs. Reddy. They
| Sprang away from the turkey and as
they did so, Yowler the Bobcat stepped
forward and planted his two big front
feet on the turkey. Then he looked at
| Reddy and snarled. Oh, such an ugly
| sounding snarl it wasl 1'len he looked
| at Mrs. Reddy and snarlcd. Oh, such
an ugly-sounding snarl as that was!
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy backed away.
They did little snarling themselves,
but it was feeble compared with the
/ snarlS of Yowler the Bobcat. Yowler
suddenly turned away from the turkey
and took two or more steps toward
| them. Once more he drew back his lips
to show all his great teeth, and snarled.
This was too much for Reddy and Mrs.
1NCOuy. 1uSy IuIHeu Idl1 anu ran Out
| from under that barn and headed for
the nearest woods as fast as their legs
| would take them. They had no quarrel
with Yowler the Bobcat and they didn't
want one.
How had Yowler the Bobcat happened
| to be there? Why, Yowler had been
having great difficulty in getting enough
to eat so he had taken to roaming just
as Reddy had. Yowler often goes close
to buildings when there are no dogs
around, and people are asleep. He had
come over to his barn hoping to catch
a rat. Instead he arrived just in time
for turkey dinner. How he did enjoy
it! When he had finished there was
nothing left but feathers. He had even
crunched the bones. His stomach was
so full that he didn't feel like travelling
But he knew better than to stay there
until daylight. So presently, like gray
shadow, he slipped out from under the
barn and away to the woods.
| So it was that Hooty the Owl did not
eat the turkey dinner that he had been
absolutely sure Of. So it was that Reddy
Fox and Mrs. Reddy did not eat the
turkey dinner that they had been alb
solutely sure Of. All of which goes to
prove that being sure of anything is the
greatest uncertainty in the world.

know that they knew he was following.
Then Hooty had brought down one OF
those turkeys from up in that apple
tree-a thing that Reddy and Mrs.
Reddy could not do, for you know they
cannot climb. Being two to one. they
had taken that turkey away from Hooty.
And while Reddy had been fighting with
Hooty, Mrs. Reddy had carried the
turkey under the barn, where they plan
ned to eat it.
It was rather rough on Hooty to have
that turkey taken away from him in
that manner, and, of course, it filled him
with very great rage. He had been alb
solutely sure Of that turkey dinner and

turkey dinner. All three thought they
had been exceedingly smart. Hooty hao
Spied on Reddy and Mrs. Reddy without
knowing that all the time they knew
what he was doing. So at last they had
led him to certain farm where turkeys
roasted every night in an apple tree.
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy had thought
themselves equally clever, because they
had led Hooty there without letting him

WARPED JUSTICE

A great deal of hullaboo was
created at Washington recently
because three reporters of the
Times published stories about the
operation of forty-nine speak
easieS and declined to tell a
grand jury where they were To-
Gated.
The reporters we're held for
contempt and spent few hours
in prison before giving bond.
Meanwhile, the city editor of the
Times supplied the grand jurors
with the list which the reporters
withheld That, however, did not
prevent the court from imposing
on the news-gatherers sentence
~of IS days in jail. They are now
i. voluntarily serving it.
=: A newspaper reporter is neither
a policeman nor prosecuting
witness. One of the most ilnpor-
tant functions of a newspaper is
to expose law violations. And, as
men and women who commit
crimes and miSdemeanorS usually
cover their acts with the mantle
of secrecy, it is important that
the newspapers should have con-
fidential sources of information.
The reporters who wrote about
the hidden liquor dives which the
Washington police were unable
to discover, published facts given
them by an unrevealed authority
: And yet that very court, as a
lawyer, probably c1aimed many
times during his. career the priv
ilege of concealing crime within
his knowledge. Physicians and
lawyers, are allowed to hold in
sacred confidence the communica-
.ttons Of their patients or clients.
. That is as it should be. No
doctor or lawyer should be forced,
for any purpose whatever, to di-
|. vuIge confidential statements
made to him in the course of
business. ..-..
But, it is important that news.
paper men enjoy the same priv
ilege. Their responsibility is just
as great and their mission just
as lofty as that of either the
physician or legal representative
II grand juries are to compel
newspaper reporters to reveal the
source Of secret information,
there will be very little 1nforma-
tion about crime printed that is
worth while. -
