1t has been supposed that the Great
Red Spot is the crater of a mighty vol
cano. II SO, it is a different kind of
crater than we know on earth, since it
drifts around from year to year A
crater the size Of this spot would be
large enough for the earth to be
dropped into it,
Another idea is that the Great Red
Spot may be moon which has not yet
been born. 1t is believed that planet
which has not cooled down has the
power to throw of moons. There are
nine moons going around Jupiter, and
II the Great Red Spot should be thrown

10 moons to light the sky at night.

" TITLE JOE OTTER ana Mrs.
Otter were fishing down the
Laughing Brook below the dam
IL of Paddy the Beaver. Suddenly
there was a sharp crack back Of
them In the direction of Paddy's pond.
At the moment Mrs. Otter was under
the water and Of course did not hear it.
When she popped her head above water
a moment later it was to discover Little
Joe staring back toward that pond with
a look on his face that told her at once
that something was wrong.
What is it, my dear?" she asked
anxiouSly.
"A terrible gun" replied Little Joe.
There must be hunter in the Green
Forest. Lsten!"
For a few minutes they listened with
ears strainjng. Then there came an
other sharp crack. There was no doubt
that it came from the shore of Paddy's
Pond.
THE children" gasped Mrs Otter,
and in her eyes was a look of terrible
fear. 1t was not fear for herself. 1t
was fear for the children whom they
had left playing merrily in that pond.
Come on!" cried Little Joe, and in
stantly started back up the Laughing
Brook. Mrs. Otter was right behind
him. How they did shoot through the
waterl That was swimming. Yes sir,
that was swimming Never had they
moved faster in pursuit of trout.
When they reached the dam they
paused to peep over it. Almost at once
they saw the hunter with his terrible
gun. He was walking along the shore
of the pond toward the dam.
Come on" cried Little Joe again.
In a flash they were over the dam
and under water on the other side
Which way now? Where should they
look for the two children? Little Joe
did not hesitate Those youngsters, if
they had not been shot, must be in
hiding somewhere along the bank. He

as follows: THE Board of Engin-

USE OF ALCOHOL
IN GASOLINE
Measure introduced Provides
That Alcohol Must Be
Blended With Gasoline
INCREASE FUEL COST

Opposition to proposed Federal
legislation requiring motorists to
use a percentage of alcohol in their
gasoline was voiced here last week
by the American Motorists Asso-
citation, national body of the Della
ware Automobile Association, 1928
Market Street, Wilmington. The
measure, introduced in the Senate
by Senator Clark and in the House
by Representative Schallenberger,
provides that gasoline must be
blended with alcohol. The measure
further provides that a motorist
who does not use an alcohol-blend
motor fuel would be penalized, un-
der the terms of the measure, by
having superimposed a maximum
three-cent gasoline tax in addition
to the now-existing one-cent Fed
eral gasoline tax and the State gas
oline taxes, which motorists are
now paying. The proposed legisla-
tion was branded by ]. Borton
Weeks, President of the A. M A.,
as the most iniquitous" piece of
legislation in the annals of motor
dom. "The proposal that a motor
ist must use an alcohol-blend motor
fuel, or suffer the penalties of a
maximum three-cent per gallon
gasoline tax, in addition to the ex-
isting one-cent Federal gasoline
tax and the State gasoline tax is
the most preposterous attempt ever
made to tax the motorist," Presi-
dent Weeks declared. ut is a most
insidious piece of Federal legisla-
ton being fostered by the alcohol
manufacturing industry, using the
farmer as smoke-screen. Os-
tensibly the measure is designed to
aid the farmer by converting the
farmers corn surplus into alcohol,
thus in theory affording the farmer
an outlet for his corn surplus. The
legislation is a direct attempt by
the Federal Government to aid one
industry by taxing another. Simp-
ly because a market for alcohol
does or does not exist is no reason
for its invasion by legislative
means. Markets should be won,
not by legislation, but by competi-
ton. Proponents of a motor-fuel
blend claim for it a superiority. If
alcohol-blended fuel is superior, it
will require no act of Congress to
force its use by the motoring pub
lic," President Weeks declared. It
is estimated that use of alcohol
blended fuels will increase motor
fuel cost from S100,000,0O0 to
S300,000,000 annually. Whatever
the alcohol industry makes out of
such legislation, must come from
the motorists pocket, it is pointed
out by the A. M. A.
