Snapper the Turtle is in the water

the water. He spends a great deal of his time in the mud at the bot tom. When a careless young duckling comes swimming along above him he swims up from the bottom and drags that little duckling down. Watch out for Snapper the Turtle. Never be so busy eating or playing that you for get to be on the watch for danger"
 Mrs. Quack led her little flock to the other side of the Smiling Pool She wanted to be as far away as pos sble from Snapper the Turtle. Pres entity he disappeared and they saw hi mno more that day. It was the next day that one of the most ven- turesome of the ducklings ventured out from among the rushes onto the Smiling Pool alone. At the time the others were all very busy feeding This little duckling felt very import ant out there by himself. Near at hand was what looked like the end of black stick. The little duckling hardly noticed it. Presently it disap peared. A moment later the little duckling disappeared And to this day Mrs. Quack doesn't know what became of that little duckling. If you should ask Snapper the Turtle he might tell you.

 "I never want to see the old hyena again. she said vindictively as she pulled the blanket over her head again. A minute later the garage man came 10 the side of the car. Everything o. k. ma am," he said, and when I had paid him l backed the car out of the garage and headed it toward New York. Lillian and Mir. Neritzen came up to 1 the car few seconds later. and hurried our farewells, also our pace down the road until we had round- ed the next corner.
 "All right, Mary l called, and she wriggled from beneath the blan- kets.
 Mary's Suggestion
 I'm a wreck, also a mess" she said ruefully, but there's no use my l brushing off. I'll only have to dive under again when he passes us, as he's bound to do. In the meantime I'm going to kneel on the seat and watch the road like a hawk"
 You won't have to do that long, Nary I said. "Thc very next gar age which has a restaurant at tached we're going to drive this car inside and have the tire repaired while VIC wait In the restaurant. There we'll watch for the passing of MT. Veritzen's car, and only when it is we'll out of sight will we come out. We'll follow him to New York, in- stead of preceding him."
 But suppose his car doesn't get fixed for a long time, or suppose he goes in another direction" Mary protested anXiously.
 Did you note the name of that garage?" Lillian asked me.
 "Yes." l named it.
 Then" Lillian continued re- sourcefully, ''if he doesn't come past here during the next hour I'll tele- phone the garage, ask if he's still there, and. with a great show of perturbation, tell him we've been thinking he'd catch up to us and I'm afraid I won't see him, and therefore want to find out where Harry can telephone him tonight. Then we'll figure out something else to do.'
 T know what" Mary said tri- umphantly, .I don't know why l didn't think of it before. Take me to the nearest railroad station. I'll meet you at the hotel"
 It was a most reasonable solution on the face of it, but my mental thermometer dropped perceptibly.

DEAFENED CHILDREN

DEAEENED CHlIDRkN It is comparatively easy for a grown person to know when ho has suffered an impairment in his hear | ing. 0,-.
 He has a standard by which to measure the acuteness of his hear ing sense. He is aware that pre- viously he had been able to hear and understand softly spoken speech, which he now finds difficult or impossible to grasp.
 The same is not true of children, however, particularly young ones. They may be handicapped and yet not know it. More than that. even their parents and teachers may not appreciate the childs disability. It is estimated that 10 per cent of our school children suffer from measurable ear defects. For the United States this would give us a figure close to 3,oo0,o00 deafened children.

A certain number, because of this, leave school long before their education is completed and become further handicapped by the lack of proper training. In a study of 549 deafened chill dren made in Rochester. N. Y, it was found that SS had repeated one grade, GO had repeated grades twice; 45 had repeated grades three times, 3 four times, five times and one six times.
 A group of normal children of the same age distribution showed but 130 repetitions of grades, as against Al repetitions in the deafened group.

LilIian's Rusc Gives Mary a Breath

 a Nasty Adieu to Philip Veritzen.
 At ten tomorrow" Lillian re- peated Philip Veritzen's promise with an air of enthusiastic approval. That's the best piece of news Har- ry will hape heard since Lindbergh flew over the ocean. Shall I tell him to have the office chairs dust ed and the force lined up with flags and bouquets, ready to strike up Hail to the Chief when you open the door?

Is sorrow never far behind
 Old Mother Nature.
 Mrs. Quack, the Mallard Duck, had family of ten of the prettiest little babies that ever lived. Anyway, that is what Mrs Mallard thought. And they were as lively as they were pretty. It was quite task for a lone mother to fine food enough for so many babies. You see. Mir. Quack was still down at the Big River. He was not at all concerned about this big family He left the care entirely to Mrs. Quack.
 Now, Mrs. Quacll always keeps q watchful eye out for enemies, but now she was more Watchful than ever. You see, there were enemies to watch out for for those precious babies that she didn't have to watch out for for herself. There were cer- tain ones who could not possibly kill a full-groWn duck and wouldn't think of trying it, but who could kill a baby duckling and would be only too glad for such q dinner.
 Of course, Mrs. Quack taught the ducklings to watch out for the mem- bers of the Hawk family and to al- ways be ready to dive into hiding at the appearance of moving shadow She taught them that Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote and Billy Mink and Shadow the Weasel and Bobby Coon and Inc' Billy Possum would be only too glad for nice little duck when ever they could get 1t. Some of these she could only tell the babies about. because they didn't come around where she could point them out. One day, however, they saw Reddy Fox, and another day they saw Billy Mink. So they knew that while they were little the wise thing for them to do was to be afraid of any bigger people whom they saw, whether they wore feathers or fur.
 Then one day as they were follow ing their mother across the Smiling Pool she stopped very suddenly and looked very hard over toward the shore. But, look as they would, all they could see was what looked like the end of a black stick in the Wa ter.
 DO you see that over there ?" Mrs. Quack asked.
 The babies acknowledged that they did Its just stick, isn't it?" asked one.
 No" replied Mrs. Quack. Tit isn't just a stick. It is the head of a dreadful fellow. His name is Snap per the Turtle and there is nothing he would like better for dinner than a ducking about your size. He is one Of the enemies you will have to keep a sharp watch out for. Your other enemies are mostly on the land or in the air. Snapper the Turtle is in

PHILLIPS CHANCE
FOR REELECTION
NOT VERY BRIGHT

With the Republican state ma
chine bereft of much of its former
power, Governor John G. Phillips
now appears to be shorn of much
of his potentiality as Republican
nominee for reelection.
Several political leaders and state
officials have indicated they may
not back his candidacy, since State
Chairman George Nickel failed to
extract from executive committee
men promises of absolute support
for Phillips.
They had counted largely on the
party machine to push Phillips in
to the lead in the final elections,
state officials said. AS this ma
chine has crunbled, they do not
feel that the governor can get re-
turned to office.
Contributing largely to their pre-
sent attitude is the continual
stream of kilograms and communi-
cations from various parts of the
state urging the selection of a
stronger Republican for the guber-.
material candidacy, political lead
erS admitted.
Industrial COmmiSh Factor
Another matter they said would
result in alienation of considerable
of Phillips support was his stand in
reference to the industrial commits
sion.
After the latter raised the sa-
laries of certain of its employees, the
governor was prevailed upon to re-
fuse to approve the increases.
A controversy arose and Attor-
ney General K. Berry Peterson was
asked to deliver an opinion on the
law as to whether the governor had
Nogales international., 1930-04-01

By allowing hitn I'd reject tne sa-
larry increases.
The industrial commission, COM
prising majority of Democrats to
which party the attorney general
belongs, will carry the matter to
the supreme court for final de-
ciSion.
At that time, it will be shown
that Peterson cited only a fragment
of the statute pertaining to the gov
ernor'S power in such matters and
ignored a further statute delegat-
ing the commission ''full control
over the compensation fund and
may do all things necessary or
convenient in the administration
thereof or in connection with the
compensation laws.
When the matter mas been thresh-
ed out before the supreme court
and yet another statute quoted to
show that the legislature intended
that the commission and it's affairs
be kept free of politics, these Of
ficials believe both the governor
and the attorney general may be
placed in a somewhat disconcerting
position.
They hold that If the governor Is
given the right by the attorney gen.
eral to approve or disapprove COM
mission employees and their salaries,
the commission staff will become
seriously effected in efficiency by
reason of the fact that it will be
filled by political appointments.
