LITTLE BENNY
BIZ LEE PAPE.

Pop was pritty near o hour late for
super tonite, ma being half mad and
half worried and half undecided what
way to be, and finely he came in look
ing at his watch and saying, I'm afraid
I'm bit late.
Making ma decide to be all q ways
mad saying, A bit late, that's q good
one, that's a remark werthy to go down
the ages in print. A bit late, he comes
Strolling in like a statue of neglected
innocence after I've been waiting hour
after hour mentally describing the most
indiscribable axsidents to myself, and
he calmly says he's bit late. That's
a rich remark. all it needs to make it
funny is q little humor. A bit late,
for goodness sakes what would you say
If you came in about midnite with
your remains dangling from a stretch
er? I sippose you'd cody inquire If
supper was neerly ready. Here am a
mental and fiZzical reck, and supper
as cold as the toom, and you remark
britely that you're bit late, ma said.
Well, that's a cheerful greeting af-
ter what I've been through for your
sake! pop said.
What new angle Is this? ma said,
and pop said, Haven't heard you re-
mark times without number that you'd
like to see a certain show called Step
ping Along, for which this is the final
mite?
Why yes, but what's that got to do
with it? ma said, and pop said, Simply
that anybody that wants tickits for
that show has got to stand in line for
hours to wait his tern at the box
office, with duzzens of wimmin push
ing in ahead Of him and delaying him
still more instead of being home where
they belonged waiting for their hus-
bands to be q bit late.
o Willyum I think that's perfeckly
wonderful, I think that's a shame
about having to stand In line so long,
ma said. Where are the tickits, mean

tell YOU in a few minutes, I mean I
finely had to leave without waiting for
my tern and now I'll haff to cali up
some pirate of ticket speculater and
have him reserve me couple.
And he quick went to telefone, ma
saying, Well of all the men and all

The front legs appear later. There is
cross on the back which shows even
before the tail Is absorbed. As soon
as the front legs pust through their
coverings, the little peeper Is ready to
try his luck on land. Sometimes you
see the little fellows on grasses and
sedges. or maybe sitting on a leaf or
twig in the water, still wearing long
tail.
About June. while one Is walking
through the woods, the moss and leaves
are fairly alive with them. The scene
of their birth may be some distance
away. Leaping Is their mode of reach
ing desired location. They are often
mistaken for young toads. Examine
them and you will see the difference.
Their size does not interfere with the
quickness and dispatch with which they
handle gnats, mosquitoes and ants.
They may be diminutive, but they sure
ly are efficient.
The little creatures have many enc
mics and, when in the tadpole stage,
their life in the water was constant
fight to protect themselves. What with
diving spiders, the bulldog looking
larvae Of the dragon-fy and the clever
ferocious diving beetle and leeches, you
soon see what wise little tadpole it
was to leave at his first opportunity
Sometimes the pond begins to dry

chance of perishing In the mud or his
chances for completing his growth in

Sometimes you will find them on the
trunks of trees, among vines or maybe
perched on a tall fern. But most of
the family are among the leaves In the
woods. They sleep from December until
January, smuggled under a shelter of
moss and leaves, and begin their song

and Otis Glenn of Illinois, telling the
Senate that an Alabama Democrat has
no right to his seat in that body.
They haven't forgotten how they in
voked the good old doctrine of States
rights in their efforts to save Ware and
Smith. Their constitutional expert at
that time, Senator Goff of West Vir-
ginia. rayed and ranted for days on the
question. but the Democrats listened
with their tongues In their cheeks. All
except Blease Of South Carolina, who
held out and voted to seat Ware.
OF course, Mr.. Bankhead is not out
OF the Senate by any means. Hastings
Is merely chairman of subcommittee
reporting to his full committe. This
full committee must give its approval
and then the Senate itself before Bank
head packs up and leaves. And the
odds on Capitol Hill are greatly in his
favor.
The general impression there seems
to be that while Hastings and his coma
mittee have worked hard, and undtr
the circumstances have done a good
Job, it Is all futile. Votes, not reports,
deprive Senator Of his seat. And,

say the wise ones, Bankhead has the
votes.
Perhaps the most interesting thing
about this whole affair Is the part that
Tom Hefiin has played
From the time Heflin learned that
Bankhead had defeated him, he set to
work. There was probably no one
around the Capitol in the beginning of
the fight who conceded him q ghost Of
a chance to get even as far as he has.
But Heflin fought on. He was forced to
vacate his suite Of Offices provided him
by the Senate, but he persuaded them
to let him set up headquarters in the
basement of the Senate Office Build
ing. In a crowded one-room Office he
directed his battle.
Every day, when he was not in Ala
bama fighting, he could be seen on the
floor of the Senate shaking the hands
Of Senators or talking to them earnest
ly in the cloak rooms.
He has been as much Of q fixture In
the Senate chamber since his defeat
as he was before. That Is, almost Vice
President Curtis never recognized him

SPRING PEPPER.
Hyla's Pickeringii.
Illustrations by Mary Foley.

TN February and March the peppers
begin their Spring song. In April
the mother goes about the i'm
4 portant business Of placing her
eggs, and you will find them fas-
tened singly to water plants. In some
instances, she viii place them on the
bottom of a shallow pond, again in
small masses from to 10. The tiny
things are not over one-twelfth of an
inch long. They simply look like plant
seed and are passed by. Each egg Is
a deep brown above and creamy white
below, when it Is first laid, later be-
coming light gray in the first stages
Of development.
In about s days and sometimes as
long as IL, the tadpoles hatch. When
they are q week old, the gills are COW
cred and the little "pollywog" form ap-
pears. In seven or eight weeks the
tadpoles are grownup. They are small
and measure, including the tail, inch
long. The tail Is twice as long as the
head and body together.
Should you find the tiny creature, you
will see his underestimate is reddish
bronze, very shiny, with sort Of me-
tallic luster. The same characteristic
frog head may be seen in the tadpole
before even his front legs make their
appearance. Then his eyes are set far
apart, there is well defined angle be-
tween the eyes and nostrils and the
lower jaw projects beyond the upper.
On the toes Of the hind legs are pads.

CLIMAX LOOMS
IN SALES Of
STOCKS
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, April Z UNS0
Perhaps the increase in volume
yesterday may be an indication
of a pending selling climax,
which may bring at least tenn
porary turn in the current break
in stock prices.
Nothing more than short-lived
recoverieS, such as have been
seen in the last three days, are
to be expected, however, until
the insult situation is officially
clarified. This has been the
weeks unsettling factor.
Short Interest Growing
Shrewd observers are of the
opinion the short interest has
expanded considerably in the last
few days, with some estimates
placing it at nearly 100000
shares.
What's holding steel up, is the
big question. Short covering seems
the big support. Sizeable lines
were taken in yesterday.
Big covering also was noted in
General Electric, but good selling
also was seen. The market may
be helped today by news of bank
rate reductions here and in Lon
don, and the first Government
grain crop report of the season.
The latter might bring a squirt in
wheat if it shows as much dam
age as have recent unofficial re-
ports.
Chemical Prospects
Interests close to Allied Chem
tcal expect the company to do at
least as we'll this year as last,
when net was well over the Sc
dividend.
A few issues like Consolidated
Gas, Continental Can and Ma
tional Biscuit are meeting scale
down inside support.
