Perhaps" shifted Mrs. Jerry. But
I've noticed that We haven't come to a
single pool that isn't new one made
by the water rising over the banks, and
you know very well that when the water
goes down these pools will disappear
I'm going back. That is what I am
going to do. I am not going another
step farther this way"
Now. when Mrs. Jerry spoke in that
tone Jerry knew that 1t was useless to
argue. He knew that she had made up
her mind, and trying to change it was a
waste Of time. But Jerry is nothing if
not obstinate. He said nothing, but
kept right on following the course of
the Laughing Brook deeper into the
Green Forest. It was as If something
beyond was calling him. He knew that
Mrs. Jerry probably was right It did
seem foolish to go on when later he
would have to return. But the spirit of
the explorer was in Jerry and he lust
had to 60 on.
So he parted company With Mrs
Jerry, who headed back down stream
and kept on. So 1t was late in the
afternoon of the next day he came to
the first dam of Paddy the Beaver. The
water was pouring over it, making a
waterfall, and when Jerry came in sight
Of 1t he didn't know what it was. and
didn't suspect that there was a pond
there. SO when he had climbed up on
the end Of that dam and saw that pond
he fairly squealed with delight. Here
was place after his own heart. Here
he could swim all he pleased, and here
the water was deep enough to dive.
Right away he thought Of Mrs. jerry.
II guess If she could see this she would
think it was worth having kept on for /"
thought he. And UP there is another
pond. wonder how it happens that
there are two ponds way up here in the
Green Forest. And there is a house over
there in the water. My goodness. what
a house 1t is big enough for two or
three families of Muskrats. Never in
my life have I seen such a house. I
thought could build a good house but
I couldn't build one like that. I won
der II any one Is living there now. I
wonder"
Just then there was a sharp sound
that Jerry recognized, although never
before had he heard it so loud. It was
the sound made by tail slapping the
water Jerry didn't hesitate a second.
He didn't even stop to look around. He
plunged into the water and swan under
water as far as he could. When he put
his head out for breath and looked back.
Old Man Coyote was sitting right where
he had been sitting at the end of the
dam couple Of minutes before. That
slap on the water had been Just in time.

ingly favor its repeal were some alter
nate method that gave premise of bet
ter results offered as a substitute. In my
judgment 1t will be so difficult for our
people as whole to agree in advance
on what the substitute should be, and
so unlikely that any one method will
fit the entire Nation. that repeal will
be far less possible II coupled with an
alternate measure. For that reason
the more strongly approve the simple,
clear-cut position you are proposing to
recommend and which I shall count 1t
not only duty, but privilege to sup
port.

DAWES DISCUSSED
AS COP. CHAIRMAN
Post Would Not Interfere
With Private Duties,
=. Leaders Believe.
by G. GOULD LINCOLN.


The availability Of Charles G.. Dawes
for the post of chairman of the Repub-
lican- National Committee was COM
mented upon by Republican leaders at
the Capitol today.
While Gen Dawes gave as his reason
for resigping as head Of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation his de-
sire to get back into business, i. was
pointed out today there was no real
reason why he should not have the Re-
publican Craftsmanship and at the same
time be actively engaged in his own
private business of banking.
As q matter of fact. it has been said
on high authority that President Hoo
Yer and other administration leaders
were anxious to find an outstanding
business man Of the Middle West to
head the National Committee during
the coming presidential campaign.
Fits Need Exactly.
Gen. Dawes would fit in exactly with
such picture, it was said at the Cap
itol Several Republican Senators ex-
pressed the hope he could be prevailed
upon to accept the chail manship. Some
OF them expressed fear that he might
decline to take chairmanship because
OF the pressure of his own business in
Chicago.
Several months ago, when Gen. Dawes
was Ambassador to Great Britain, his
name was put forward by group of
Republican Senators as the best man
fol the post of Republican chairman.
When he resigned as Ambassador to
60 back to his business In Chicago and
later was persuaded by President Hoover
to become executive head of the Re-
construction Corporation it was under
stood he would not be available for
election to the Craftsmanship of the Re-
publican National Committee. Now that
he has again announced his intention
to return to private life. those Re
publican leaders who would like to see
him at the head of the Republican
forces are again urging that he be
elected chairman
Friction Is Reported.
The report persisted today that Gen.
Dawes was retiring from the Recon-
struction Corporation because of fric-
ticn between himself and Eugene Meyer.
Gen. Dawes has never been considered
either an ardent dry or an ardent wet.
and for that reason his selection to
head the Republican national campaign
would be all the more acceptable to
those Republicans who desire to retain
the full voting strength of the party.
The Republican National Committee
is to meet Thursday in Chicago. where
Chairman Fess is already awaiting the
arrival of the other members Of the
committee 1t is not expected how
ever, that a new chairman OF the COM
mittee will be elected until after the
national convention has been held, and
the new committee has been elected
Unless his plans change. Chairman Fess
will call the new committee together
in Chicago Immediately after 1t has
been elected. 1t is hoped by Chairman
Fess that a new chairman may be
elected at that meeting.

his work at a pace exhausting to young
er men. He was a brigadier genera
overseas during the war. and became

Becoming Vice President in the ao

made the headlines by attempting t
change the Senate's rules. telling tn
members quite frankly what he though
of time wasting. His effort came
nothing in the end.
His greatest international renoW
came with framing of the Dawes PlaI
