Bitulithic paving is almost stand
ard with Brownsville. one Of the
best paved cities OF its size il the
Southwest. The early bitulithic
jobs have stood I'D well. and the
city fathers have seen fit to con
tinue the use OF the material il
making Brownsville an all-weathcr
city.
There Is now approximately q
miles Of paved streets here. The
major portion Of this is bitulithic,
put down n its entirity by the
Southwest Bitulithic Paving COM
pany.
The last IS miles OF the roads,
put down during the past two years,
is composed almost entirely Of
bitulithic. Prior to that time, there
we're 81 miles Of paved street II
the city II was during this early
period Of experimentation that the
city settled upon bituIithic. Those
early jobs have held up sturdily
and this doubtless has influenced
the city in letting contracts to the
Southwest company.
This concern does business
throughout the state, but they have
seen fit to establish a branch Of

along"
Mrs Reddy hesitated. Then she de-
cided that she would at least go over
and see those turkeys. So off they
trotted Mrs. Reddy at Reddy's heels
And so at last they reached the farm
where the turkeys lived.
Reddy stopped at some little distance
from the farmyard. He had no inten-
ton of taking any unnecessary risks.
What are you waiting fore" de-
manded Mrs. Reddy. Il want to see
those turkeys"
you'll see them" promised Reddy.
81 don't want to go up there until those
lights in that farmhouse go out. If
that farmer ever suspects that there are
any foxes around, we shall never have
a chance to get one of those turkeys.
We must get one before he knows that
we know where they are"
So Reddy and Mrs. Reddy spent the
time hunting mice down in the meadow.
Mrs. Reddy had very good luck and this
made her better natured. Yes, sir, this
made her better natured. Reddy was
not so successful. but he didn't mind
I'm afraid his thoughts were not on
mice. His thoughts were on turkeys.
BY and by the lights went out. Mrs.
Reddy was for going up there right
away but Reddy wouldn't. He wanted
to be sure that every one was asleep.
Finally he led the way.
When he reached the orchard the
moon was shining bright. Reddy led
the way to a certain apple tree over
near the barn. There, do you see
emp" he whispered.
Reddy was watching Mrs. Reddy
sharply. He saw the CLEAN that came
into her eyes when she saw the IL great
birds roosting in the trees and he was
satisfied. He knew that now he would
have a willing partner in all his plans,
My, my, N.Y." whispered Mrs. Reddy,
chow big they are! Do you suppose
we could kill one even if we could get
to it?"
Trust me for that" replied Reddy.
Just let me get hold of the neck OF
one of those birds; that's all I ask.
believe one of those turkeys is roosting
lower than he did last night. Now,
my dear, what do you think Of my dis
covery?"
IT think" replied Mrs. Reddy, that
we won't go home tonight. Well stay
somewhere around here until we get
one of those turkeys"
Just as you say. my dear, just as you
say. That suits me-" replied Reddy.

"Come on, my dear" he said impa-
tiently to Mrs. Reddy.
"Where?" demanded Mrs. Reddy.
"Why, to see those turkeys that I
found last night, of course replied
Reddy.
whats the good of going way over
there when you know you can't get
them?" Mrs. Reddy demanded.
Listen, my dear" said Reddy. over
on that farm is just as good hunting
as there is anywhere around here. We
are sure of getting something to eat,
even If we don't get turkey; and there
is always a chance that one of those
turkeys may roost low enough for us to
get him, or perhaps not go up in tree

Reddy Fox could think of nothing but
turkeys. All the day following his dis
covery of those turkeys on distant
farm Reddy thought about turkeys
while he was awake and dreamed about
them while he was asleep. 1t seemed
to him that never in all his life had he
wanted anything quite as much as he
wanted one of those turkeys. He could
hardly wait for jolly. round, red Mr..

pared to start.

these three centuries we have learned
that its operation is that of pump
Each expansion draws into the left
ventricle, one of the four chambers of

blood, which has completed its seven
minute circuit of the body and has
been supplied with fresh oxygen by the
lungs. The blood passes through the
four chambers, being forced out into tn
