to go to trial first in New York on
a charge of extortion. New York
was where the ransom was paid.
The case against Hauptmann on
this charge, they believe, is per-
feet.
On the murder and kidnapping
charge, however, the case still is
being worked up. The strategy
would be to get a conviction on
extortion in New York, then move
the case to Jersey for the muir
der charge. This way there would
be no Slip-up.
NAVY Secretary Swanson loves
~ a political fight. In fact he
is a real fre-eater when it comes
to battling for naval appropria-
lions. But be that as it may he
considers discretion the better
part of valor.
So the other day when he had
to decide between two conflicting
allegiances at a football game, he
-ducked!
1t was on the occasion of the
colorful Virginia classic,
played in Griffith stadium before
a large crowd. Swanson was in
vited to be the guest of honor. The
entire Naval academy corps at
tended and the student body from
the University of Virginia.
But the grizled Swanson, after
long elaboration, turned down
the invitation.
An admiral, surprised, asked
him about it.
We'll, it's this way" replied
Swanson, with a twist of his long
and fierce mustachios, L love
football games, and I'd love this
one particularly. But I'm afraid
to take a chance. You see, I'm
an alumnus of the University of
Virginia. That's one side. Also
I'm secretary of the Navy. That's
the other side. And" he said with
a grin, I'm old enough to know
when I'm putting myself on the
spot. I'll stay home and read,

I Members of the Silver Spring
lions Club are considering two
community problems in their
search for their major activity for

n \ RS. REDDY FOX lay in the
M bushes on the bank of the
H Big River with her mouth
watering. In front of her was
open water with a not very
wide strip of ice between it and the
bank where she lay hidden. On this
strip of ice we're two ducks. One was
squatting down and the other was
standing on one foot in the way ducks
often do. Sitting quietly on the water
or lazily swimming about were several
other ducks. 1t was not the latter that
held Mrs. Reddy's interest. but the two
on the ice.

sighed Mrs. Reddy. They are too far
now. They would be in the air or the
water before I would have time to reach
them. Perhaps If am patient and
wait they will come nearer"
So she settled herself to wait. No
one can be more patient than Mrs.
Reddy when something is to be gained
by 1t. She learned when very young
that patience often brings reward.
Certainly the reward of a plump duck
would be ample for great deal of
patience. She saw at once that those
ducks had no suspicion that they were
being watched. They were a perfect
picture of lazy contentment. Presently
another came out on the ice and joined
the two already there. Mrs Reddy
trembled all over with eagerness and
excitement. This one settled down on
the ice and began to preen her feathers.

then there would have been q chance
that one might stray near enough for
her to make q sudden rush.
Mrs. Reddy lay without moving. She
knew Just how keen were the eyes OF
those ducks and how quick to detect
even the smallest movement they would
be. And she knew, too, how despite
their seeming careleSsness and lack OF
watchfulness one or more was constant
ly on watch. Those on the ice might
even doze but those in the water were
wide awake and ready to give the alarm
at the first hint Of danger.
So Mrs. Reddy, her mouth watering,
patiently watched and waited. After
long time, one of those squatting on
the ice got up, stretched her wings
above her back, tapped them several

on the ice. It was clear that not all
those ducks would come out on the ice
at the same time
Time slipped away The squatting
ducks got up and began to move about,
but came no nearer the bank. They
were getting restless.
Probably they are hungry" thought
Mrs Reddy. If that is the case they
will soon be going of to feed If they
do that I will have wasted whole
afternoon. 1t is getting late. 1t is clear
that Ill get nothing by simply wait

swan farther out. Then with their
heads held high all faced Mrs. Reddy.
She was rolling and waving her feet in
the air and spinning around after her
tail. Not once did she stand up so as
to show what she really was.
The ducks stared. What could that
curious thing be? Without being
aware what they were doing they be-
gan to slowly swim back toward the
ice for a nearer view. Presently one
got out on the ice. Another followed.
