Peter Rabbit was sure he knew now why fish were scarce in the Laughing Brook and the Smiling Pool. Longlegs the Heron was blam- ing Rattles the Kingfsher. Rattlas- the kingtisher was blaming Billy Mink, Billy Mink was blaming Little Joe Otter. Little Joe Otter was blaming Farmer Browns Boy for the scarcity of fish. You know all or them are fishermen and you konw, too, that it is always easy to blanc the other fellow.
 Now Peter was sure that not one of these was wholly to blame. There was some one else doing d great deal of fishing and doing it without being seen.It was just by chance that Peter had discovered this. That some one else was Mrs. Watersnake Peter had seen her take two nice trout in succession from a certain pool in the Laughing Brook. Un- doubtedly, Mir. Watersnake was catching his share Judging by what he had seen of Mrs. Watersnake's appetite, Better felt that it wouldn't take many Watersnakes along the length of Laughing Brook to cause a shortage in the supply Of fish.
 It was a few days after Peter had seen Mrs. Watersnake beside that certain little pool that he again sat beneath q fern where he could re- main hidden but could see all that ' went on about him. For a long time nothing happened. Finally Peter dozed. When he opened his eyes Nagain that flat rock where he had seen Mrs. Watersnake take her sun. bath and eat her fish was cover 4d with snakes. Yes, sir it was covered with snakes. Mrs. Watersnake was there and crawling around her and over her were Watersnakes. Al least, Peter assumed they were little Watersnakes and in this he was right.
 "Goodness." sraspcd Peter. "Can that possibly be all one family? I never heard of any one with 90 many children. I'll count them"
 But Peter didn't count them. They wouldn't keep still long enough By the time he had reached d dozen he couldn't tell which ones he ha counted and which ones he hadn't counted and which ones he hadn't counted. So at last he gave that uo. As a matter of fact, there were over thirty children, for Mrs. Watersnaka was unusually large and she had d very large family.
 Chatterer the Red Squirrel hap pened to come along and Peter SHAW him. DO you remember, Chatterer, said Peter. how Billy Mink and Buster Bear were complaining be-

 'I have them all laid out as you told me-" Purnell said as l stood at the door of the smallroom, 'bu' you'd better not come in here. You might get against the thorns with your dress. I can bring them out to you and hold them for you while you arrange them. I also took the liberty of putting the candles into the candelabra."
 He rolled the word unCtuously and again I took a firm grip upon my laugh muscles. But it was not at Purnell that I next smothered a laugh. It was at the look of aston ished chagrin which leaped into Edith Fairfax's eyes as she caught sight of me, and which she was not quite quick enough to hide, al though the next instant she had rushed forward with a very pretty show of solicitude,
 "Oh, my dear. how perfectly dreadful," she exclaimed. Lillian has just been telling me. I am so furious at those people. Just wait till I see them. They promised me solemnly that they would be here at two O scck, and then after you telephoned they said they were on the way. What time did they get here?"
 "Purnell is the only one who can answer that" Lillian interposel quickly. He took them in. Did the delivery boy give an excuse for be- ing late?"
 She was looking fixedly at the bell boy as she spoke, and l remem- bered that she had spoken 10 him for second or two without my hearing what she said. Patently she had told him 10 retail his whole conversation with the delivery boy, and Purnell promptly obeyed, vita subtle little air of relish, indeed. as if he understood that his answer would afford me a little triumph.
 "Yas'm," he said with a little bow. T asked him what he meant by bringing flowers for dinner at this time of night, they didn't come In until almost six, and he got aw- full provoked. He said his orders were to deliver them no earlier than six, because they would fade. He said he was afraid he was too early instead of too late He said l could see the order on the books down at the store.

INFLUENZA STUDY CONTINUES BATTLE
 SCIENCE STUDENTS
BIG 1918 EPIDEMIC SERVED TO EMPHASIZE MAGAZINES
 OF KNOWLEDGE

WASHINGTON. Jan, S. P,-
 Science has made little progress in
 solving the baffling problem of the
 cause and control of influenza since
 the world wide epidemic of 1918, but
 nevertheless has a somewhat better understanding of the disease than
 At tllat time.
 Altho well known health autho1i .
 ties disagree on methods for pre- yention of the spread of the disease, Virtually all including Surgeon General Hugh S. Cummings of the "nblic Health Service, are in accord that persons who develop it should go to bed at once and stay there until they have recovered definite ly. General adoption of such pro- Icedure tLey believe, would save many lives.
 Epidemics of influenza have swept the world at intervals for sev- Ieral centuries. The major epidenl- les have come about once every 30 years, with lesser outbreaks inter vening indicating insofar as such Statistics can be relied upon that Ithe present situation in America probably falls into the latter classi- |fication.
 Tie big 1918 epidemic served to emphasize the meagerness of exact knowledge about the disease and Stimulated research workers every where to greater efforts than ever had been made before to meet the deficiency. This work has continu- ed without Encouragement lack of progress acting on the scientific mind as an added stimulus rather than a hindrance
 The Investigators have learned, more definitely than known before, that the disease is communicabl and that it apparently can be spread by persons who are seeming lv in good health as well as by those who are infected.
 The germ which, before the 1918 epidemic, generally was credited as the cause of the disease, now is re- earded by Public Health Service au- thorities as having little influence ;n that direction.
 A number of different germs have been identified with the con- dition in the last 10 years, but none has been found present consistently leaving the meteorological aspect of the problem in considerable con- fusion.

SENATE TO ACT

IMPEACHMENT
Oklahoma Upper House to
Be Given Five Charges
Against Johnston Today.

United Press staff Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Jan.
21.-Five charges of impeachment,
voted against Governor Henry S.
Johnston by the Oklahoma house
of representatives, will be sentee
to the state senate today.
The articles, charging incompe-
tency and corruption in Office,
probably will result in the imme-
diate suspension of the states chief
executive pending trial by the SEN
ate.
Five other articles of innpeach-
ment, alleging various violations OF
specific constitutional acts, will be
considered by the house when it re-
convenes this afternoon.
Governor Johnston faced not only
the loss of his executive Office, but
with criminal prosecution, has met

charging his opponents we're dis
appointed Democratic and Repub-
lican ''bitter enders." He declared
"they entered into a trade of floor
votes to GUST me-"
"It is altogether a destructive and
vicious leadership capable of sink
ing the welfare of the state into a
cesspool of personal malice" Gov
ernor Johnston said.

against me by a picked committee. .

AIR PROBLEMS
TO FACE PILOTS
IN NAVY TESTS
Panama Fleet Maneuyers
to Include Major
Air Force.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-When
the United States feet, in full battle
strength, ASSEMBLIES off the west
coast of Panama this week, it will
have its first opportunity to test the
efficiency of major air force, Rear
Admiral William H. Standley, assist
ant chief Of naval operations, said
today.
Although the fleet has no large
scale tactical problems to work out

parable with "target practice by po-
lice" to whip it into shape for emer-
gencies.
Four Divisions to Fleet
The United States fleet. the adj
miral said, is composed of four main
divisions: The feet base force,
scouting feet. and battle fleet. The
first two are for supply and defense;
the last two, aggressive arms of the
navy, will meet for the southern
maneuvers, though sixteen subma-
rines of the control force will also
participate.
Because of the addition to the
navy of the airplane carriers Lex
ington and Saratoga during the last
year, the feet will have its first
chance to carry out simultaneously
major operations by sea and by
air, Admiral Standley said.
Each of these ships can carry
eighty planes. Twenty more will be
brought down on the battleShipS
and cruisers of the scouting feet,
while eighteen Martin bombers will
fly there from Hampton Roads.
Admiral StandIey intimated that
both the "battleship school, and
"airplane school, of American naval
strategists may learn something
from this actual testing of the air
forces efficiency.
Study Two Pilot Problems
Two problems confronting the
naval pilots will be studied in the
Gulf of Panama.
One is successful navigation of a
fral plane on the surface of rough
sea. The other is hoisting a plane
from the sea to the deck of a battle
ship. In this operation great care
must be exercised to keep the light
craft from being smashed by the
waves against the side of the load
ing ship.
Admiral Standley described briefly
some of the battle games to be
played by the fleet. In one, the
