BEDTIME STORIES BY =. r 1SSe9ss

Now, Grows dearly love to pretend to
be very brave. They like to show of
in the presence of other Crows. Not
one of those Grows alone would have
gone anywhere near Hooty, but with
so many together they felt very brave
and they crowded right around that
nest. Mrs. Hooty was sitting just back
of it, Hooty was just at one side of it.
Both were sitting very straight and
glaring angrily at their tormentors.
/ Their big yellow eyes were very angry
| looking and very looking Every
| time Grow looked straight at those
eyes he lost his courage. He didn't
cav quite so loudly and he hurriedly
| got a little farther away. Hooty was
| Kissing and swapping his bill and Mrs.
Hooty was kissing and swapping her
bill.
Now, although that was the nest of
Blacky and Mrs. Blacky, you would have
| seen had you been there that they were
very careful, very careful, indeed, to
keep on the outside and not get too
near the Owls. They urged the others
in. but themselves were careful not to
get within striking distance of either
of those angry Owls. Some of the other
older Crows followed their example. 1t
was the younger Crows-the Crows of
little experience-who tried to show of.
These were the ones who darted in and
threatened to pull out some of the
feathers of Hooty and Mrs. Hooty and
boosted that they would peck their eyes
out. Oh, they made a brave showing
did those young Crows!
Now, all the time Hooty and Mrs.
Hooty were growing more and more
angry. They were not in the least
afraid of those Crows. They were an
noyed, but not afraid. All the Boosting
of those young Crows had no effect,
excepting to make them angry. It was
| astonishing to see them turn their
| heads. No Grow had a chance to steal
up behind either one Some of those
young Grows tried it and were startled
to find themselves looking straight into
those fierce yellow eyes. a lot of them
drew themselves together and few
straight at Hooty in a black cloud
Hooty merely Missed more angrily than
ever. And when the Crows reached him
they merely separated. some going one
side and some the other. They didn't
have the courage to really attack
Some of the older Crows who were
watching sharply saw that Hooty was
losing his temper very fast. Those
Crows were wise old Crows. They had
leased Owls before. They understood
the signs. Very soon it would be safer
to be somewhere else.

All talking at once, with Blacky at
their head, the Crows of the Green
Forest headed for Blacky's nest. 1t
Mrs. Blacky had used in the Spring.
They were very much excited, were
those Crows. They were Just like a
lot of boys starting out for good time.
They expected to have a good time.
You see. Blacky had told them he had
found Hooty the Owl and Mrs. Hooty
In possession Of that old nest. They

AND MRS. HOOTY.
were going to have a good time tor
menting Hooty and Mrs. Hooty. At
least, that is what they expected.
AS they drew near the tree in the
Green Forest where the nest was hid
den Mrs. Blacky few ahead. She
wanted to be the first one there. AS
soon as she came in sight of that nest
she began to cav at the top of her
lungs, and it was a very angry cav;
and all the other Crows knew that the
Owls were still there. They spread
out so as to form a circle around the
tree and the nest; and every single
Grow seemed to be trying to outscream
every other Grow. Such a noise as they
made! 1t didn't seem possible that they
could cav any louder. Yet, when they
got near enough to actually see Hooty
and Mrs Hooty the noise was doubled
Yes, sir; it was doubled!

CAPONE'S FABULOUS INCOME
 AND THE ECONOMISTS

"Scarface Al' Capone is credited with having an income of s1,000,- GOO year. That is considerably more than even the largest brewers ever made in the heyday of real beer.
 And by the way. one school Of economists has the theory that every man is paid accordingly to his contributions to society. If that were the case, how would they ex- plain the Caponc situation.
 Of course. these economists can be said 10 be as wet as the prohibi ton law sometimes gets.
 If men obtain an income accord ing to their contributions to society. then the economists-most of whom are college professors-must ad- init that the athletic trainers con nected with the colleges make a greater contribution to society than the professors do and hence are worth more money.
 Not a single college economist professor will ever make such an admission.

FIGURES DON'T LIE EXCEPT
 WHEN "ANALYZED"

There is noteworthy saying that figures don't lie, but liars figure.
 There might also be q saying that "figures don't lie, but interpreters can make them turn around
 Thus one finds that whereas wet editors feel disposed 10 accept the returns 10 the questionnaire on drinking sent 10 Yale students a5 sufficient evidence in itself that these figures cannot be made to lie, dry editors arc discovering ways to interpret them 10 mean something entirely different.
 Unfortunately. the interpretations of the dry editors themselves arc somewhat dry reading. Whcncvet somebody says he has succeeded in making black look like white we grow as impatient as when q crank tries to tell us he has discovered q way to provide perpetual motion.

Hartford. the stone structure of nine spans, which has 3S feet of clear ance at mean low water, but not enough clearance at high water. It would cost Hartford s600,0Q0 to re- construct this bridge to provide navigation facilities for rival cities to the north.
 Hartford, we imagine, would con- tribute quite a dirge about such an improvement" But the city would be in no worse position than other bridge owners along the Connecti- cut north of Hartford. When the present bridges were constructed there was no idea that the Connecti- cut north of Hartford would ever be considered of much shakes az an artery for barges 10 benefit the territory as far north as Holyoke.

that there are too many senators in Washington who lack shoe and tex tile factories in their bailiwicks, and there are too many farm senators who prefer duty on hides so as to protect agriculture.
 There was a day when New Eng land could have it's own way in all most anything, but that was in the good old days beyond recall. Of late years our senators are more often on the losing side of Washing tonian issues than on the winning side.
 Yet, in connection with the pro- posed shoe duties, which lost once again in the Senate, one is con- strained to inquire whether it would be the advantage to the industry that is generally supposed. The tex tile industry has been well protected in the past, but look at it. If pro- lection alone could place an indus try on It's feet then the textile in- dustry should have been booming for years. It is barely possible that the shoe industry would be no more helped by protection than has been the textile industry. That, of course. is merely q guess. Even Senator Walsh is not sure; he merely favors what the Massachusetts industry thinks it wants.
 The worst foe of the shoe industry seems to be less walking. it is i'm possible to wear out many pairs of shoes every year by merely tickling the accelerator with the sole of one of our pedal cXtremities. Nor is much shoe leather worn out by walking to the place where the car is parked.

NEW ENGLtSD DEMOCRATS

Ii is not enough to point to south ern senators and declare they are for low tariffs or free trade in products in which they are not in tcrcstcd. but favor increased tariffs in southern products-sugar for in stance Most senators and rcprcsCn- tatiycs are just like that. The tariff remains a local issue,
 There is Senator Walsh ol Massa- chusetts. He is the unbeatable Democrat" from the Bay State who gives the Republican organization much worry. But Senator Walsh lets 1t be known on every possible ocCa sion that. though q Democrat, he Is not d free trade person. but taNors more and better tariffs for New
 England products, especially Massa- chusetts products. And he always i votes accordingly.
 \ tariff on shoes has been one of his pet ideas. Massachusetts Is a large shoe producer He fayors high CT tariffs on textiles, too, claiming that the New England textile in dustry needs this shot in the arm He also fayors real duty on leather But he also faNors no duty on hides so that inc shoe manufacturers can import cheap hides rom Argentina and elsewhere.

REFRESHMENTS IN CITY BY OUTSIDE TALENT

Mr. Quigley brought up Ques- ton the other day that has some dynamite under it. We have m3n- tioncd this matter on several occa- sions, and in due time no doubt something will happen along the lines indicated. The question hinges about a reassessment of New Brit ain property values.
 Mir. QuigIey himself IS identified with the realty business; and so far so good. But the kind of reassess- ment that has been mentioned in the past and not as yet accepted as tenet of political faith hereabouts is. reasscssment by outside experts. That would be one Of different kind than the usual sort.
 A few weeks ago we pointed out how certain other cities had such q reassessmcnt and how the results created wide public interest 10 say the least. "Outside experts" wno make reasscssments. who are not in- volvcd in local politics and who have nothing on their minds but 10 do t lob in telling way, are quite likely TO upset few appi'rarjs before they are through.
 Let AIr. Quiglcy or any other aspiring candidate come out for such . reassessment and then perhaps
