Hooty had given up his hunt for Peter
and was back in the Green Forest look
ing for Mice. But Peter didn't know
this Sitting still he began to use his
ears. as he should have done all along,
and he suddenly became aware that the
deep. wonderful voice Of BoWser the
Hound was sounding louder and louder.
Of course. this meant that Bowser was
coming nearer ard nearer.
And that" muttered Peter. means
that Reddy Fox is heading back this
way. If he is far enough ahead Of
BoWscr he may stop to look for me. He
may be in the garden this very minute.
Now what shall 1 do? If I try to get
to better hiding place Hooty the Owl
may see me. If 1 stay here and Reddy
Fox has time to hunt for me he Is
almost sure to find me.
Peter was behind big cabbage leaf,
but it wasn't the best of hiding places.
However, he continued to sit there, for
he didn't dare do anything else. Louder
and louder sounded the baying OF Bow

ser the Hound. He had left the Old
Pasture and was coming across the
Green Meadows straight for Farmer
Browns garden.
The steady baying ceased. He has
lost the trail" thought Peter. "Reddy
Fox has played one of his smart tricks
to break his trail SO that B0Wser will
have to work to find it again. That
will give him time to look for me. Yes,
sir. that is what it will do If he is far
enough ahead of Bowser. Oh, how 1
wish I had gone back to the dear Old
Briar-patch when 1 had the chance. I
wish I never had heard of this old
garden. I wish
Just then Bowser bayed again.
Reddys trick hadn't fooled him long.
He is wise in the ways of Reddy Fox,
is BoWser the Hound. Every time a
new trick is played on him he remem-
bers it. Having worked it out he re-
members that, too. and the next time
it is tried he knows just what to do.
This time when the trail became con-
fused and then ended he wasted no
time. He started to run in big circle
with his wonderful nose to the ground.
He knew he was bound to pick up that
trail again and. sure enough, he did.
Rcddy had gained only two or three
minutes.
As a matter of fact Reddy had sat
down to rest after breaking his trail.
He wasn't very tired, but he was hot.
So he sat with his tongue hanging out
and watched and listened to see what
Bowser would do. 1t was a sort of
game to Reddy, a game he enjoyed in
cold weather but which on hot
night made him uncomfortable. He
wished some wandering Little Night
Breeze would come along and cool
him off.
He waited until Bowser again had
found the trail, then turned toward
the garden and started on. He ran
only Just fast enough to keep little
way ahead of BoWser. There was no
use Of getting tired out or any hotter
than was necessary. He would lead
BoWSer through the garden and straight
up to Farmer Browns barnyard. There
he would get rid of him with a sharp
trick he had in mind. He would leave
BoWSer right at home.
Peter heard the great voice coming
nearer and nearer 1t seemed to be
heading straight for where he crouched.
1t was. There was a rustic of leaves
and then a trim form jumped right
over the very cabbage beside which
Peter crouched behind one big leaf.
A hind foot actually touched that leaf.
1t was Reddy Fox and could you have
asked Peter he would have told you
that it was altogether too close for
comfort.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE VI. sPRowLs.
How Many Minds!

How many minds may be housed In
the same body? Robert Louis Steven
son started the ball rolling when he
wrote his DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" "
Since then dual personality in the
flesh has been pretty well understood.
The psychologist is beginning to find
out how it is that the mind may split
up into sections; and also why one
section may operate for while, and
then another for while and then an
other Dissertation is the key to dual
or multiple personality.
The most important aspect OF the
human mind is that capacity called
memory You would not know who you
we're from day to day, Il you could not
remember. But memories fade. They
also tend to separate into workable
sections They become dissociated.
Every dissociated section big enough to
work on its own energy means another
personality. Most people have only one
section that is strong enough to work
on it's own energy, and SO they display
only one personality. But as matter
of theory, you may have as many minds
as you have sytems of dissociated
memories.
1t may be that dual or even multiple
personality has some connection with
alternating periods of depression and
elation-moodineSS in short. Everybody
has his moods. But some persons have
them more intensely and with longer
periods of duration. If q mood Of
depression or elation lasts two or three
weeks at time, the chances are that
the mood will generate enough energy
to account for separate personality.

plicated further when it became known
that he had shifted Pacific Coast
administrator without foreknOwledge OF
the Attorney General.
Dalrymple became irritated at what
he termed slight criticisms" of his
Office. In a turbulent press conference
he dictated a statement that fairly
bristled. Then. fatty declining to an
sWer any questions about his actions
since he had been director, he pounded
his desk and refused to say anything
further
Immediately rumors that Dalrymple'S S
days as prohibition director were num-
bered began to spread 1t was also
limited that he and Senator McAdoo OF
California, who had advocated his ap-
pointment, had come to a parting OF
the ways.
Speculation as to how long he would
remain in Office was increased by his
appearance before the Ways and Means
Committee of the House in support OF
wine, while at the same time he eX-
pressed his opposition to the repeal
of the eighteenth amendment.
There have been many "cZars" of
prohibition crossing the Washington

Steps have been taken within recent

is looked upon as a great effort in this
direction, though some persons believe
that it falls short of what we ought
to have
Thus when We think OF the splendid

M Chicago's Century Of Progress
v and observe the great for
ward steps which have been
taken In science and inven-
ton, we may be tempted to say:
We'll, well! We have built up a
marvellous civilization"
That statement Is true as far as it
goes, but it is not the whole truth.
In some fields the human race has
gone forward with rapid strides during
the past century, but in other fields we
have Jagged behind.
In regard to transport, We have taken
more forward steps during the past
century than in any previous thousand
years in the earth's history.
Electric lights for houses, the phono-
graph. the telephone, the radio and
the talking moving picture are some
Of the inventions for which we credit
the past century We may list them
alongside the airplane and the auto
mobile.

places where our progress has been so
slow that it is painful AS very small

What kind of progress" does it show?
Why should a 500-pound fat lady be
on display? Why should people pay
money to gaze at all sorts of other
misshapen human beings?
We may console ourselves by saying
that even though there is something
wrong about freak shows, they are
small matters; but it is not hard to
see other shortcomings which by no

your grand slam. How to make part
ner rebid so as to show or deny al
additional half trick or a biddable
Z Q suit?
Opener Must Be Careful in His Next
Response.
Responder should bid four no trumps
over four hearts This aggressive.
slam-insisting bid is plainly an appeal
saying: If you have no more than
already promised by your bidding SO
far, bid five hearts, which is a denial
OF additional values; if YOU have an
extra half trick in reserve. bid five no
trUmps; if you have weak four card
suit headed by primary trick, bid it.
I need to know something more of a
definite nature about your hand. that
is why I make you bid again in this
manner instead Of trying to get you
to support a second suit Of my own"
According to the response received.
the heart bidder will bid either six or
seven in that suit. The important
point is that at this stage the openers
signoff is another raise in hearts not
q raise in no trumpS The situation has
changed since the previous round of
bidding where, over three hearts, three
no trumps was a signoff, while four
hearts was an acceptance of a slam
try. The reasons are simple and lOgl-
cal, and I do not think you can call
this complication or convention.
At this point it is plain that five hearts
is a safer contract than five no trumps,
unless both are equally safe because
the responding hand has reserve values
and can control the bidding with abso-
lutte safety. Opener may rightly as
sumo that all bids up to six hearts are
reasonably safe; and he himself must
Tot raise six hearts to seven. His flnC-
tion is now only to help his partner to
decide between small and grand slam.
He should not carry the bid from six
to seven because he cannot have the
material for such decision in his own
hand if the bidding has been right up
to that time.
