The Voice OF the Country
One of the most geassuring indi-
cations of the real strength OF our
Government is the ability OF Con-
eress to act SWIFTLY and patrioti-
cally for the public good in an
emergency. The recent speed III
which both houses enacted a series
of financial and economic measures
directed toward national recovery,
showed this body at its best. No one
supposed at the time that party
lines we're being broken down per-
manently. II was simply that under
conditions which were becoming
alarming as to our stability, the ov-
erwhelming majority of both houses
in Congress were not only willing
but glad to act in concert for a
brief interval for what the whole
country believed to be in the inter-
est of all.

Bicycles with wheels of uneven size
came into wide use during the latter
part Of the nineteenth century. Such
machine is on display in the Travel
and Transport Building at the Chicago
fair. l did not have a tape measure
with me when 1 looked at it, but it
seemed to me that the front wheel was
about A. feet high and the back wheel
less than foot and a half in diameter
Riders had a hard time learning to
control such bicycles. 1t may have
been in a dream. but I have an i'm
preston that many years ago ! man
aged to ride one of them. During M
boyhood, however. the improved bicycle
wheels of even size and with filled
tires was in common use. If ever did
mount one Of the high-Wheelers. it was
a relic found in the cellar or attic Of
Some friends house.
Progress in the making Of gasoline
driven automobiles may be observed in
transport displays at the fair. You can
look at autos which date back before
the year 1900. Before the coming Of
air-filled tires. auto wheels were oircled
with hard rubber or metal rims. and
looked like the wheels Of oldtime
buggies.

white spots. Remember. there are'tails
and tails. so be sure you know who
owns a tail before you try to interfere
with it."
Il don't suppose I'll ever hear the
end of this mistake" grumbled Reddy.
You wouldn't have if you hadn't
found it out just when you did" re-
torted Jimmy with a sly grin.
Meanwhile. Peter Rabbit had been
flattened under big overhanging beet
leaves, filled with terror and hopeless.
of him when he had turned aside for
that white spot which proved to be the
tip of Jimmy Skunk's tail. but that
brought no hope to Peter. Hidden as
he was. he couldn't see Reddy and
didn't dare lift his head to look. All
he could do was to lie perfectly still
and try to hold his breath.
When Reddy parted with Jimmy
Skunk he headed straight for the place
where he had turned aside. He would
resume his search right there. Reddy
is nothing if not thorough when hunt
ing. He knew those rows Of beets Of
feeling that it was in there that
Peter would be found. He knew Just
what Peter would do.
He'll keep still until he knows
have found him. Then he'll jump and
run unless 1 am too quick for him.
though Reddy. But running will
not do him any good this time. I'll
have him before he's made two leaps
I'll have to depend on my nose to'f1nd
him unless he is foolish enough to
move. and he knows better than to do
that"
So Reddy. having looked all through
the cabbage patch. began to move
along between two rows of beets. con-
tinually thrusting his nose under the
leaves on each side and shifting for the
scent Of Peter Rabbit. And every few
steps he would. stop. some times with
one foot lifted. to look and listen.
Nearer and nearer he drew to the
place where Peter lay. A few steps
more and he would poke his nose un-
der those leaves that hid Peter. OF
course. Peter would Jump and run, but
he would have no chance, just no
chance at all. Two steps. Three steps.
Reddy stopped and stood motionless,
his sharp ears cooked one foot lifted
What was that rustling sound? It was
over near where he had entered the
garden And whose was that dim form
moving over there?
Bow. WOW. wow!" roared a voice.
Never had Reddy heard a more unwel-
come sound. Never had Peter heard
one more welcome. ---'
