"HAT is Just what Mrs. Reddy Fox
intended to do now; put an end
to this hunt St. as soon SOON as I possible ,6na
enough Reddy was tired out,
and, worse still, was wounded. No mat
ter how carefully she kept watch, she
might at any time run within shooting
distance of a hunter with a terrible
gun. But run she would have to as
long as those Dogs could follow her
trail with their wonderful noses. De-
cided1y the thing TO do was to fool
those Dogs beyond hope of finding her
trail again that day, and the sooner she
did it the better.
.s.This is no time for ordinary tricks"
thought she as she ran. "Reddy has
tried those and they failed. Those
Dogs are too smart. It must be trick
they don't know and one that will take
from them all desire to do any more
hunting today" She headed for a GER
tain fence of barbed wire of which she
knew. I'll try this first" thought she.
The wire strands of this fence were
set rather near together. The snow
was almost to the level of the lower one.
Between this and the second one there
was just room for Mrs. Reddy to slip
through easily if she were careful. Half
way across the field she sat down, look
ing back. The two Dogs came yelp-
ing along the fresh trail, the younger
in the lead. He was too excited by the
freshness of the scent to pay much heed
to where he was going. and ran head
long into the fence before he saw it.
The sharp barbs scratched him and
tore his skin. He yelped with pain and
backed away. Mrs. Reddy grinned.
The older Dog came up and saw at
q glance the difficulty. They were too
big to pass through where Mrs. Reddy
had so easily slipped. Those wicked
barbs prevented forcing their way
through Then the old Dog began to
dig furiously in the snow. He would
dig his way under. Mrs. Reddy watched

i They have built a hut In one
of the gardens and they
carry all sorts of things to It for fur
nishings. They don't seem to do any
thing once they get there. All the fun
seems to be in building and taking it
apart, lighting fire that drives them
out into the open with chokings and
tears. What ought we to do about it?"
What did you do when he began cut
ting his teeth? Made the best of it,
didn't you? You rubbed his gums, you
gave him ring to bite on, supplied him
with some crusts and changed his diet.
If things got too much for him and
you, the dentist took a hand. The gang
stage is all Of piece with the teething.
The boy is cutting the teeth of his child
hood ON the gang. He is preparing for
a new stage of growth, which will fol-
low shortly. Tolerate the gang with
kindly patience and step in only If you
see things are going the wrong way.
The gang usually reflects the charac-
ter of the boys themselves. If they have
been well brought UP, the gang is just a
continuance Of their rearing, with some
high spots of originality, the outcrop-
pings of unexpressed urges and yearn-
ings they can scarcely explain even to
themselves.
The fire is necessary. That Is an old
instinct. The fire is the altar about
which the tribe gathers. It brings them
certain feelings Of warmth and friendh-
ness and nearness. The smoke doesn't
matter. In the gang the symbol Is more
than the thing. The whole thing Is a

AS you know, some eye disturbances
are caused by infection-teeth, tonsils.
sinuses, gall bladder and intestine-and
clear up in few weeks or months after
the removal of these infections.
However, as DR.. Jones points out, the
continual use Of the eyes in some indi-
viduals by putting a strain on certain
eye muscles and nerves Is such a con-
slant wear on the nervous system that
fear, anxiety and timidity naturally
follow.
You know, with yourself that when
you have been subjected to nervous
strain and are exhausted nervously, you
are less courageous than when you are
your real self.
This matter Of eye stress and timid-
ity is worth our consideration.

caShes the five spades.
1t will be noted that grand slam
could not be made in spades or no
tIumps as one diamond trick must be
lost to Vests king.
1t is always better to play as trumps
an eight-card suit divided four-four
than an eight-card suit divided five

the declarer to use either hand for
trumping and the other to draw trumps.
DiscardS can always be taken on the

PAYMENT
Of DEBT, GOAL
Of BRITISH
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

1nJernhbiOnhA NeWA eiNiCe
British and American debt
negotiators squared away today
to the seemingly hopeless job Of
finding solution that will
satisfy British public opinion and
at the same time get by the
American Congress.
Actual negotiations for revision
Of the 10-year-old agreement be-
gan at the Treasury in an at
mosphere anything but optimistic.
English Action Due Next
Thus far, the British have not
laid any definite proposals on
the table. Nor have the Amer
leans. The Administration atti-
tude is that it is not up to the
American representatives to sug-
gest anything; that Britain in
stigated the proceedings and that
It is up to the British to make
o proposition.
The expectation prevails that
sooner or later the British will
propose settlement Of Britain's
$4,000,000,000 obligation to the
United States on the basis of
the Lausanne agreement-that is,
approximately 10 cents on the
dollar. This will be for the
record, and will promptly be re-
Jected by the Americans.
What will then follow is a mat
Ger of much conjecture, but in
Yell-informed quarters it is pre-
dicted that the British will offer
some sort of a lump sum settle
ment. AS to size of this lump
sum there are various estimates,
ranging from $1,000,000,000 to
$4,000, 100000
Congress Opposes Reduction
II and when such a proposition
p made, it will be up to the
American negotiators, Undersec-
retary of the Treasury AcheSon
and Frederick Livesey, State De-
partment economist, to decide
whether to recommend it to
President Roosevelt. And Mr..
Roosevelt will have to decide

collation..
The British have come to
Washington equipped with yards
OF statistics on Britain's fiscal
condition, the purport of which
b that it is no longer possible to
carry out the terms Of the Bald
win agreement.
With that view, the American
negotiators are not disposed to
concur. They have some statis-
tics of their own, compiled in
recent weeks by Treasury experts,
the trend of which is that Brit
aims fiscal condition is no worse
now than it was when the Bald
win agreement was entered into
in 1923.
