A FOWL STORY
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

not understand that for the rings
are not easy to get off. Then
one fall, shortly after | had
changed the leg-rings on my
chickens, putting green rings on
MY pullets, and yellow rings on
those that had been wearing
green rings, and putting red
rings on those that had been
wearing yellow rings and MAX
ing a particular point of taking
the yellow ring off the leg of
this hen / have told you of and
putting a red ring on her, l
found out what it was all about.
Il had hidden myself on the
feed house with my rife to shoot
rats; | had been there for a
considerable length of time keep
ing perfectly still when suddenly
| heard a great commotion. Peek
ing out, saw that this big hen
had another hen down and was
doing something to her.
Il looked closer and bless good
ness, ! saw that big hen turn
the other hen on her back,
straddle her, squat down on her
and carefully and deliberately
work the band off that chickens
leg-a yellow, two-year-old band.
"Then she let the hen up, sat
herself down on the ground, and,
if you'll believe me, she pulled
the red ring off her own leg and
worked the yellow one on.
'"Then she scratched dirt over
the red ring and walked off as
complacent as you please.
and here's another way that
hen showed remarkable intellig-
ence. She knew perfectly well
that she couldn't pass for a pull
let: that there wouldn't be any
use for her to put a green ring
on herself for if she did, | would
simply think when / saw it that
| had made a mistake when I
ringed her. But she figured that
she might get by as a two-year-
old. Now what do you think
about that"
But the other poultryman had

Incredible as it may seem,

Once he believed the Catholic

since his defeat for reelection tc

One Of the principal results to 1olloN
.oreoI If the 18th Amendment, according
to prediction predictions of supporters OF
repeal. was the destruction OF the OooVles
Gouor traffic. That was one OF the chlei
reasons for. repeal, according to the prev
ORG distilIers and traffickers in booze; ana
they caused some good prohibitionsts 70
qo astrav in voting by vOciferOus reltera'
ton of the cry that bOOtlegging would De
stamped out Immediately after the adop-
ton of the 21st Amendment.
Well, different story is unfolding
throughout the country. For example, the
Associated Press sends out a story from
Washington, saying that the federal gov
eminent lis planning drastic action against
bootleggers. This story begins in this way:
'"The administration is deeply concerned
over rampant bootlegging that is taking
plaee under repeal" The story recites the
fact that the government is finding the IT,
legal liquor. traffic a tough problem, and
that the Jastice Department, the AlcohoI
Control administration and the Internal
Revenue Bureau are all crying for the en-
actment of more stringent laws and the
best minds of these departments are strug-
Cling with the problem.
Sincere prohibtionists are not disposed
to make merry at the expense of the re-
pealers,' although they freely predicted
this exact condition after repeal Repeal
has not wiped out the illicit liquor traffic
and will not do so. That traffic existed Iii
a big way before the 18th Amendment was
adopted and it is here now and will re-
main. The illegal traffic is merely a big
ger and more difficult problem under pres
ent conditions than it would have been
under prohibition, if fifty per cent. of an
honest effort had been made to enforce
prohibition.
Honest prohibitionists desire to see all
LIQUOR controls laws enforced. They know
that no matter what the success attending
such enforcement, the illegal liquor traffic
will continue and the evils of the legalized
traffic will far outweigh the evils of the
illicit traffic; but prohibitionists believe in
law enforcement and they stand for en-
forcement of liquor control laws, and sin
cerely regret that the federal government
md the wet States are experiencing almost
lnsurmOuntable difficulties in controlling
both the legalized and the illegal booze
traffics. However, that condition was con-
fidently predicted in advance of repeal by
prohibitionists. The country is in for !,
period ofkearning by experience just how
much control can be exercised over brew
ers, distillers and liquor dealers, when
federal and State governments go into
partnership with these gentlemen; and
also, the country is going to learn by en-
perience about control of the illegal liquo:
traffic, which always has existed right
along with the legalized traffic.

Renewing their assault after
several weeks of tranquility, high

BOLIVIA CALLS
OUT RESERVES

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 10. (U.P) -
Bolivia prepared today to throw it's
entire man power into the war
against Paraguay, while accepting
without reservation the League of
Nations recommendations for
peace.
( Mobilization orders were prepared
for all reservists, which means all
able-bodied men, between the ages
Of 18 and so. The orders will send
perhaps 100000 men to the front
and others to the services of supply.
! AS the orders were drafted, Boil
Wan and Paraguayan field guns
thundered on the Bolivian edge OF
the Gran Chaco, the gungle terri
tory, rich in oil, in dispute for a
century.
Paraguayan dispatches from the
front told Of the capture of three
more Bolivian forts on the eastern
/ front.
These forts are northeast of the
/ Bolivian army base at Villa Mon
les, key to the rich oil fields in the
Bolivian Chaco and Bolivia proper
recognized Bolivian territory.
From there the line stretches
loosely down to the Pilcomayo ri
( YER, southeast of Villa MonteS-the
: western front.
On the western front, for 70 hours
field guns of both armies had been
laundering in preparation for a
battle for Fort DOrbigney, the last
big Bolivian stronghold between
the Paraguayans and Villa Monies.
Dispatches indicated that the Bo-
livian resistance was strengthening
and the prospect was for battle
of major importance.
1.-The mobilization is our reply to
Paraguay's claims of victory" Pre-
sident Luis Tejada Sorzeno OF Bo-
livia told the United Press Cores
pondent at La Paz.
1T means that the country as
unit is going into the war. 1t is
complete mobilization Of our ener-
gies."
The mobilization will put at the
governments disposal the classes OF
I from 1915 to 1886 and the territor-
ial guard.

JUDGE QUINN GETS
LETTER RELATIVE
TO BRIDGE ISSUE
MEMBER OF FEDERAL EMER-
GENCY ADMINISTRATION
GIVES STATUS IN CoNNEC-
TON WITH MATTER

Replying to letter from Judge
Hugh Gum to Harold Ickes, rela-
tive to the application for loan
for bridges over the highway wa
ter gaps, X. H. Elliott, of the
Federal Emergency Administra-
ton, advices the bridge matter
is still under examination.
1.-THE delay in this examina-
tiOn," the writer shows. "has been
due, principally, to the fact that
another application for the same
bridges was submitted by Dir.
Rosenthal. That application has
been definitely rejected and
studies have gone forward on the
application of the Overseas Road
and Toll Bridge District.
"A loan for such an amount re-
quires great deal of examination
and cannot be passed as rapidly
as one for a smaller amount.
I'm addition this application
cannot be considered under the
present appropriation as these
funds are practically exhausted.
"If, after the examination, this
application is found eligible, it
will be placed on our agenda for
future approval if and when adj
ditional funds become available. +"
