country. I'm just getting acquainted"
you've met one other member of the
family beside Billy Mink and Little
joe" said Bowser the Hound chuckling.
"When?" demanded Flip in surprise.
Bowser chuckled more than ever.
THE time you had to go of and live
by yourself" replied Bowser.
Little Joe began to chuckle. HE must
have met Jimmy Skunk" said Little
Joe.
He did" replied Bowser And he
wasn't polite to him. But he's very
polite now whenever they meet"
Such funny look as there was on
Flip's face. do you mean to tell me
that Jimmy Skunk is relative of
yours?" he demanded, turning to Little
Joe Otter.
Hes a member of the Weasel fam
lily" replied Little Joe.
But he, doesn't lock the least bit
like you," cried Flip.
For which I am duly thankful" said
Little Joe dryly. Nevertheless, he's a
member of the family. He is one of
the Weasel cousins. 1t Is quite family,

you to excuse me long enough to get

Bowser chuckled. IF I could swim

like fish," said he.
Little Joe slipped down the bank and

was smooth and sleek and altogether
a handsome fellow. Flip was full of
curiosity.
IF you please, Little Joe Otter, are
you related to Billy Mink?" he asked.
why do you ask?" inquired Little
Joe.
Because" replied Flip, you do look
something alike, only Billy is so much

Later the prime reason FOR this
adulation became more apparent.
In India the seclusion Of women
Is such that wives. mothers and
sisters are not permitted to attend
or take part in such entertain
ments. The women who entertains
professionally are looked down up
on by all Of the upper castles. This
explained the excitement created
by Miss st. Dennis East Indian

highly trained mentality TO bear up
on the subject matter OF the
Nautch, having q richness and puri-
ty beyond the conception of the
native dancers. and withal having

novel was rushed to completion so
that its writer, Mary Roberts Rinehart,
might be free yesterday to enter on her
services as the only woman on Presi-
dent HooverS public lands commission.
Official and ex officio, its man members
number a score.
Aside from unofficial service during
the World War, this is Mrs. Rinehart's
first Government job. It concerns the
possible transfer to the Far Western
States of the Governments vast do
mains in the Rocky Mountain region
and beyond.
Busy on the final chapter of her nov
ell, Mrs. Rinehart could not be called
upon to discuss why President Hoover
had chosen a feminine mind to con-
slider the "where-men-are-m matter
Of the ranges. Nor could she be inter-
rogated on why she should interrupt
remunerative literary labors for round
table conferences.
Books Tell the Reason.
But her books tell.
II have slept over and across the
roots of most varieties of trees from
Canada to the Mexican border" Mrs.
Rinehart humorously confessed in one
Western chapter.
Besides, she expressed herself very
candidly on 1.-The difilculties of long
distance supervision" OF the scenic West
by Washington.
Again she wrote:

plain her earnest turning to the task to
which she was appointed.
Different Interpretation.
The men of the Public Lands Com
mission have been talking the project
in terms of prodigious acreage. Mrs,
Rinehart has interpreted these wilder
nesses as trails along the edge of preci-
pices, as wild flowers, mountain sheep
and goats, black and grizzly bears, and,
especially, trout. Page on page of her
Western works are filled with fishing.
She has written of range round-ups

SPANISH PLAYERS
/. FACE MUSIC CRISIS
Foreign Canned Music
Threatens Jobs in Movie
Houses and TheaterS.

MADRID P).--Madrid's musicians
and orchestnas are faced with the crisis
of losing their job in movie houses and
legitimate theaterS because of the in
vasion of foreign competition, said
Humberto Gabrielle, secretary of the As
ISOLATION of Orchestra Professors of this
city.
Foreign "talkies," foreign jazz and
foreign actors have caused the crisis
he explained.
we do not want to see the same
thing happen in Spain as has occurred
in the United States after the intro
duction of sound pictures, but Aneri-
cans are already sending their mechant-
cal music devices to Madrid with the
announcement that they are prepared
to produce and market Spanish sound
and voice films" Senior Gabrielli said.
This is a serious problem. Mechani-
cal music can be adapted to the use OF
legitimate theaters, and the invasion OF
American jazz bands, particularly Ne
groes, aggravateS the crisis"
Along with many others who have
studied the situation he favors nation
alization IF the sound-film industry In
Spain with adequate protection by labor
restrictions for Spanish musicians.
Three of Madrid'S largest moving
picture houses have installed devices for
sound pictures and have discharged
their orchestras, and several others are
preparing to follow suit. A number OF
years ago the opera house was closed In
Madrid, which automatically released
an orchestra of 80 musicians, while
casinos have recently been employing
various forms Of mechanical devices to
provide music for their patrons.
Many French and German shows in
wade Spain each season, performing at
low prices, and this is hurting the Span
ish stage also, Senior Gabrielli said.
