JNC' BILLY POSSUNL SUSPECTS SOMETHING
By Thornton w. Burgess / simply wandering around

By simply wandering around
 Is much of value to be found.
 -Unc' Billy Possunl
 Inc Billy Possum was wandering down along the Laughing Brook. Every now and then he stopped to pull over store along the brook, to see if he could find some insects under it. Once he was quick enough to scoop a minnow out of a little pool. Inc Billy was thinking of eggs. He sure was egg hungry. An wants some aigs," said Unc' Billy to himself in querulous sort of voice. "Ah needs some aigs. Evry spring time An wants aigs. Nothin' does taste so good as aigs in the spring time. An suppose An could go up to Farmer Browns henhouse, but 'cy'ry time An so up thar Ah gets in trouble"
 l.. Just then Unc' Billy managed 10 catch a small frog and for the time being he forgot all about eggs. He wandered on along the bank of the Laughing Brook, down through the little swamp at the head of tine Smiling Pool, and there he speat some little time hunting for frogs Finally, he went out where de could look over the Smiling Pool Right away he saw something of interest. It was of very great inter- est. Anyway, It was to Unc' Billy t. NJ Quack getting her dinner of yellow corn that Farmer Browns Boy had left at the Smiling Pool. Inc Billy recognized her at once. He climbed up in a little tree where he could watch better. A cunning look crcpt into those little eyes of his.
 'Ah wonder if there's anythin' the matter With Mrs. Quack," said he to hjHself If there isn't what is she Gon' here in the Smilin' Pool? Shes got no business hyur. She should be way up in the Far Moth hy now. Ah craves to kno N why she is hylr in the Smlin' Pool, Ah reckon Ahll jess pay her a lit tie visit"
 So Inc Billy climbed down the trunk of tho trcc and made his way around on the bank of th2 Smiling Pool until he had reached the place where Mrs. Quack WIS eating her dinner. Good evening. Sis Mallard,' said Lnc' Billy in his most polite manner.
 Good evening, Inc Billy" re- piled Mrs. Quack, What are you doing over here at the Smiling Pool?'
 Unc' Billy grinncd. "Ah was jest goin' to ask you that ve'y same ques- tion,' said hc. "Ah thought you and Mr. Quack flew Moth long ago"
 well, you sco We didn't" replied Mrs. Qu@cl5. "Thc Smiling Pool was SO inviting that we decided to stay here a while. lt'5 a very pleasant place here, tnc' Billy. hope you gre feeling as we'll as you look"
 "Oh, Ans feelin' all right" re- piled Inc Billy. "Al jest came over hyar 10 look for some frogs. Pears like An always need a few frogs in

Learning That the Detective Has Started for New York, Madgc RreafheS Easily Again.

1ICdLISS IIdouS AAn"s
 I did not need MT. Hasbrouck's assurance that he and his friend, Mr. Train, were having the time of their lives" in assisting us to es- cape the espionage of the private detective, who, for purposes un- known. had trailed us to the Cats kills. The faces of both men were shining like those of schoolboys, and that oldest instinct of all, the zest Of outyitting an opponent, was in their eyes.
 Your interest makes it very pleasant for me. nevertheless, told them. And so you saw the man finally start for New York;
 "Yes," MT. Hasbrouck replied. 'After Ed reported about the fel- lows going around to the hotels, l knew it was only a waiting game. He'd never find you, even if by chance he found out where the Trains lived. Your car is locked up ir the garage back here, and what he'd get out of the Trains would be plenty that he wouldn't want to hear. And the chances were all against his finding Train. So Ed and I watched both streets, this one to the ferry and the one to the bridge, and l got my friend at the ferry again, and gave him an car full So when our man in the black roadster came back in time for the next ferry, my friend was ready for him. and gave him song and dance about somebody else taking his place for few minutes at the ferry before, and that he had found out q blue sedan with three women in it had gone on board while he was absent from his post. My friend at the ferry is an awful good scout and he sent word to the fellow on the other side of Rhin2- cliff that if the black roadster chap buzzed him about the blue sedan he vas to say he didn't remember distinctly, but he thought such q car had gone down the river road,
 Ed was watching things like a hawk, and when the man finally was safe on board. Ed wheeled into line, too. He'll tail him without the man suspecting a thing. I'll bet a dollar, and he won't telephone unless he loses him. So, no news will be good news, and you'll be able to go bacl to your nap Mrs Graham, until We lear from Ed"

New York, April 16.-Shoes step up to new importance and dignity in the new mode because longer skirts throw them into high relief.
 One may have beauty, grace and comfort this spring if she has the right understanding of chic. And color to boot.
 Never wear shoes so elegantly conceived and so beautifully pro- duced. It is the dressmaker touch in these footnotes of style that makes them such lovely and de-
 sirable things.
 In selecting the Easter footgear, the smart woman will consider their after-wear and appropriate
 ness. Since so many of the na- tion's women work this year, it $ 8 good thing to keep the office in
 mind when selecting the entire wardrobe, and especially shoes.
 For good-looking footwear is a
 first essential. to q successful, we'll groomed woman.
 I Colorcd kid shoes, with fine dec- | orative touches of dressy reptilian
 leather or insets of fabric. straws,
 and even lace, are one of the most
 important spring fashion notes. 1 If one has the blues this spring, l in costume and hat, she by all
 means should have blue shoes 10
 match. Green shoes and purple
 ones are excellent fer street wear
 and are being worn in great num-
 sports, it is quite tho thing to have shoes made of the costumes fab ric. But the shoe that cleans cN.
 pertly, is drcssy and practical, IS the shoe perfect for Easter and the working days that follow. There are three outstanding types of snoes for suit and frock wear this spring. First comes the
 conventional pump, developed il.
 exquisite designs, with decorative
 touches. Blue, black. green, tan,
 brown, violet the kid pump is cx-
 cellent for scft drcssmakcr suits that have classic simplicity in their hand made tailoring.
 Since many, many women sim ply cannot wear pumps, it is a;a mistake to try, because the bot tiers have designed innumera ble strapped slippers and sandals that have the grace and beauty de-
 manded by this seasons styles, and perfect comfort in addition. Daintiness in ONfords Third in type comes the two or
 there eyclct oxford, with medium heel. Today's oxford of this type
 has none of the country tramping look about it but rather the dainti- trips along a smart thoroughfare. Two feathers are smarter than one in all types of shoes this year.
 Roth are good taste. But one or
 the other of the colors chosen
 should be the tone of the suit
 trock or coat that the shoes are
 worn with.
 For wear with one of the semi
 sheer worsted dressmaker suits, in
 a tan, brown and white color conl-
 bination, classic pump of brown kid is made with a perforated,
 painted tip and dot and a fine col
 lar and quarter of matching lizard For the woman who cannot wear pumps but demands great
 chic in footgear. there is stun-
 ming black kid and gray snakeskin | oxford. It is very dressy pair
 of shoes, made to perfect one of the lightweight tweed suits, or a
 little dressmaker suit in a gray
 mixture. The black kid joins the snakcskin in a pointed scalloped
 design, with an eyelet at each point.
 For wear with blue silk en-
 semble, suit or frock, very new
New Britain herald., 1930-04-16

dressmaker T-strap sandal has been designed in blue kid, with lizard trim. The blue kid fash ions the quarter and vamp, fitting down, in quite the dressmaker fashion, like a yoke over the liz ard. The T part of the strap is Of | the lizard and the strap proper of 1 lizard.
 Elegance in Footwear If one has gone in strongly for prints this spring, she should have 1 footwear that is elegant but ef- fectively simple. Such a. pair is a hter-than-navy blue kid slipper, with medium high and trim heel, with a very fine scalloped finish around the top of the slipper, bound with self-kid. This slipper has the lightness that silk frocLs or suits demand. It can be had in all the new tones of kid to 80 with the dominant color of ones prints.
 Last but not least is the shoe elegant to wear with black frocks . or suits, rich, handsome little creation in footwear made of black kid and black suede. The main part of the one-strap is black kid, fashioned with a dec orative cutout on the side, and with curved inset of the suede on one side which gives the kid the effect of 0 tip. It has 8 practical, comfortable heel, quite the shoe for dignified. lady-frocks that tho l preciate.

COLORFUL VEGETABLES

Fresh vegetables often lose their color because they are cooked too long. Asparagus. Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, spinach and cabbage rarely need more than 10 minutes cooking: peas, carrots, parsnips and turnips between 20 and 30 minutes and squash only about 20.

|AGE-OLD CULTURE
RELICS ARE FOUND
Discoveries in Pennsylvania
Claimed to Be More Than
1000 Years Old.
BY LAURA LEE.

PHILADELPHIA, December 6 (N.A
N.A).-In q little Pennsylvania COM
munity thrilling drama is being
quietly revived. A drama of another
people, some long forgotten, some never
known, people with dreams and ambi-
t1onS foreign to our own.
The actors in this drama are great,
tall men and women who lived in Penn
sylvania before the birth of Penn, be-
fore any white man had ever been seen.
Some Of the actors we know slightly,
mostly from written records, the Sus-
quehannocks and the Algonkins. And
there is third mysterious group who
were probably Indians but about whom
nothing Is known, according to the
stage manner Of the all-star revival,
DR.. Donald A. Cadzow, director of
archaeological research of the Penn
sylvania Historical Commission of the
state Museum at Harrisburg.
These new people, he predicts, may
cause scientists to revise their opinions
as to the number of centuries man has
lived IN the Eastern United States.
DR.. Cadzow and his boys mostly stu
oents from Pennsylvania colleges, have
been working like mad since early last
Spring to remove as many treasures as
possible and make plaster casts of the
lmmovable ones before they are de-
'troyed'by the construction of a $35, ,0OO,-

900 dam for q hydro electric develop
ment at Safe Harbor, 10 miles south
west of Lancaster, and about 78 miles
west Of Philadelphia.
Story ChiseIed in Rock.
Out in the middle of the muddy, lazy
Susquehanna Indian fishermen tried to
tell the story OF their people. At Cres-
well and Walnut Hill Island, approach
able by skidding down steep and
rugged cliff, rowing several miles in a
leaky, flat-bottom boat and wading the
rest Of the way, you are rewarded for the
hazards Of the trip by q strange and
mysterious sight, the story of Indian
life, chiseled In the rock by hopeful his
torianS.
BY next Summer these rocks, with the
story they tell, will be covered by 40 feet
CT water from the dam If they are al
lowed to remain. 1t is the hope of the
commission, which is under the direction
of DR.. Frederick A. Godcharles. direc-
tor OF the Pennsylvania State Library
and Museum at Harrisburg, that it will
be able to remove the rocks and carry
them to Harrisburg before they have
been covered by water.
Make Photographs and Casts.
1t is not at all certain, DR.. Cadzow
pointed out, that 1t will be possible to
remove them without damaging them
completely or partly, and for this rea-
son he has spent weeks making photo
graphs, plaster casts, molds and charts
Of the carvings on the rocks.
On Big Indian Rock and Little In
Clan Rock, several miles down the river,
the story Of later Indian tribe is told.
These rocks will not be removed, partly
because OF their size-Big Indian is 81
feet long and SS feet wide-and partly
because the work on the dam is not ex-
pected to interfere with them.
No attempt has been made to preserve
the pictures on the rocks, and time and
erosion are gradually obliterating them.
DR.. Cadzow has covered the stones with
q preservative in the hope of saving
them. He also photographed them very
carefully, painting some of the faintest
with water colors, that they might show
in picture, and he has made scores Of
plaster casts which he calls finger

Three Distinct Periods.
Three types Of Indian writing belong
ing to three separate periods were found.
The first consisted of conventional SYM
bols, which might have been mistaken
for Chinese writing. These DR.. Cad
zow credits with being Of prehistoric
origin.
The second type was slightly less con-
ventional. with circles and decorative
hieroglyphics and a few crude animals.
In the third, figures playing the most
prominent part in the stories are the
legendary Algonkin Thunder Bird, who
carried lake on his shoulders and dur
ing a storm passed over the country,
Spilling a little lake, flashing his eyes of
lightning and making thunder by hut-
tering his wings; Lox, with an arrow in
his mouth, the god who protected the
AlgonkinS q hunter, one of whose arms
was bow and arrow and the other q
dog; bear feet and turkey tracks, and
many snakes.
Dr.. Cadzow became so much interested
in the petroglyphs and the periods they
represented that he was determined to
find out more about these peoples. This
led to excavations on the mainland in
Lancaster County, particularly at Wash
ington Borough.
There's enough here" said DR.. Cad
zow, who has already unearthed thou
sar.ds of relics, Ito keep US digging for
10 years. Nothing Of this sort has ever
been done before in Pennsylvania,
though such excavations have been made
in almost every other State Of the
Union.
Historians Against Wall.
Pennsylvania has the finest historians
in the country, but they can go back
only so far, then they are up against
blank wall. That is why they have
called on us to do the work of pre-
historic detectives.
Vast sums have been spent on exca-
vations in Egypt and Mexico, and here
is all this remarkable wealth of an
tiquity right at our doorstep and 1t is
being rapidly destroyed. Twenty per

OLD SIOUX CITY BANKS
CLOSED BY DIRECTORS
Deposits in First National Institu-
ton Total 81, 900, 900, and in
Sioux National 95, ,oOo,o 900.
~ the Associated Press.


SIOUX CITY, Iowa, December g.
The First National Bank and the Sioux
National Bank, with combined deposits
Of more than t12,000,000. were closed
after business hours today by their
directors
J. L. Mitchell, president Of the for
mer institution, and John A. Magoun,
head of the Sioux National, said frozen
assets and general business conditions
were responsible for the action.
Signs were placed late today on the
doors of the banks, which we're not
af1liated, saying that D. H. Reimers,
national bank examiner, had taken
charge.
The banks were two of the oldest in
Sioux City. The First National, with
deposits Of $1,000 900, was organized in
1870 and was capitalized at 81 ,0oo, 900.
The other was 20 years younger, with
q capital stock Of 100000
Confidence was expressed that both
hanks would be able to reorganize and
reopen as soon as bank examiners had
had an opportunity to inspect the as
sets Of the institutions.
