bramble tangle. The brambles clutched
at him and scratched him. Now and
then he whined. Once or twice he
yelped as a bramble pricked him very
sharply. But he kept on. Mrs. Reddy
watched approvingly. She knew that
Reddy intended to find Peters scent
In there and follow it. He meant to
find the answer to that riddle.
It was slow work and hard work and
painful work. There were passages
through that bramble tangle big
enough for Peter Rabbit to pass along
easily, but they were too small for
Reddy to get through without a great
deal Of suffering and many scratches
Now, Reddy is one of those who do
not give up easily. Having set his
mind on getting at the bottom of this

of a little tree in the middle of the
bramble tangle. 1t bad been a small
tree, so, of course, now it was small
stump. Around 1t had drifted q little
pile of dead leaves. On one side Of 1t
was q small rock. II was when he had
reached this that Reddy understood the
mystery of the disappearance of Peter
RABBIT. Between that small rock ana
the stump was q hole, hidden by the
drifted leaves From outside the bram-
BILE tangle that hole couldn't be seen.
Reddy put his black nose into that
hole and shifted. It was enough. Peter
Rabbit was down In there. Yes, sir,
that is just where Peter Rabbit. was
Reddy's face looked the disgust he
felt. 1t was of no use to try to dig
Peter out, for the roots and the rocks
were in the way. Peter was as safe for
the time being anyway, as If he were
at home in the dear Old Briar-patch.
Reddy turned and diSgustedly made his
way out the way he came in. Mrs,
Reddy said nothing, but there was a
question in her eyes.
"a holel" grunted Reddy. "a hole
under that little stump. We may az
well go home, for we can no more get
Peter out Of there than we can hy."
So Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy trotted
of home, as disguised looking q pair
of Foxes as ever lived. And down In
the hole under the little stump in the
bramble tangle, Peter Rabbit grinned
as best he could, because OF the pain

II he had turned into nothing at all.
"I hope you are satisfied now that
he didn't come out on my Side," said
Mrs. Reddy somewhat sharply, after
Reddy had tried in vain to find some
scent left by Peters feet.
Reddy grinned somewhat sheepishly.
"YeS, my dear, I am quite satisfied"
said he. Then he added. Il hope you
are satisfied that Peter did not get out
on my side"
"Yes,' replied Mrs. Reddy, 81 have

Rabbit. But If he didn't get out on
my side and he didn't get out on your
side, he must still be in that, bramble

into the bramble tangle. He was think

on which the commissioners were d.
vided evenly, Judge Robinson not vot-
ing because he opposed the realloca-
ton, certain salient principles govern
ing the rights of broadcasting stations
to wave lengths are laid down by Mr..
Caldwell, with the unanimous concur
renee of the commission. These reveal
the immense amount Of discretion that
rests with the Federal regulatory body
under existing law.
Mr.. Caldwell lays down the general
rule that as between two broadcasting
stations with otherwise equal claims Tor
privileges the station with the longest
record of continuous service has the
superior right. He makes clear, how
ever, that this Is not to be construed
as, "a doctrine OF vested rights or an
extension of property law to the use OF
United States to regulate interstate
commerce Is regarded as full and COM
plete.
Where contesting stations do not have
equal claims the principle of priority Is
second to zone or State quotas and dis
parity in services rendered. In other
words, a junior station in a zone OF
State not having its equal share OF
radio facilities may have priority over
an older station in an overcrowded zone
Moreover, an older station whose service
is deemed to be slipping" may lose out
to a younger one with better service
Radio assignments are not "frozen" OF
free from change.
1t is further held that advertising
must be limited in amount and char
acter. so as to preserve the largest
amount of service for the public. The
commission recognizes that without ad-
vertising broadcasting might not exist
The final point is that evidence con.
stations, such as letters, kilograms and
petitions often solicited over the radio
is exceedingly untrustworthy"
