West passed and North bid two
diamonds. East bid two spades and
South jumped at once to four hearts.
West went four spades. North cheerily
doubled under the theory that if your
partner opens the bidding, and you
have an ace, the opponents can't
possibly make a game.
South took no chances. He laid
down the king and ace Ct hearts.
North dropped the 10 and six. South
then shifted to the king of diamonds.
North, fortunately, didn't overtake.
He simply played the encouraging
five-spot. At this point, South was
in bit of a hole. He couldn't tell
whether North had five diamonds or
six diamonds. If he neld five dia-
monds, it would be fatal not to take
| the second diamond trick. If he
| held six diamonds, East could clear
the spades in two rounds. and it was
very possible that he didn't have q
losing club trick.
rs it too much to ask" argued
South to himself, that my partner
| have the eight of spadeS?"
In order to show North exactly
what he wanted, he underled the
queen of hearts. North obediently
trumped the jack Of hearts with the
seven of spades, forcing East's ace.
Fortunately for South, North held
both the seven and eight of spades
otherwise he might have trumped low
Wiping the perspiration from his
brow, South explained the advantage
of trumping high.
But my trumps were equals" said
North in an aggrieved tone. Il could
trump with either one"
I'm just telling you this" replied
South, pleasantly. in case it ever

wing. Look at it and you will see
how much it resembles a comma.
The violet-tips are slightly larger
than the commas. The under wings
of the hop merchant are so cleverly
marked, in imitation of the bark of
a tree, that the butterflies escape no
tice. These are the interesting hiber-
mating butterflies. They creep be-
meath the loose bark or into the
openings in hollow trees, fallen logs
or stumps, and some have been found
in buildings and stone piles. Any
port in a storm. Look for them this
Winter when you go on your nature
strolls.
From October until April these
wintering butterflies must cling to
life, in order that they may see that
the family does not die out. They
become stiff with the cold. Warmth
unlimbers them.
They are a frayed, bedraggled lot,
that finally thaw out when the April
suns come again. After a good sun
bath you may see them flying about,
always resting on stone or some
thing that will reflect the warm, in
vigorating sunshine.
About the time they have fully re-
covered their health the hop and elm
leaves are tender and sweet. 1t is
then you can see the mother fly to
where these leaves are and lay her
eggs. She has duty to perform,
and if you stand quietly you can
watch the strange little columns of
eggs being attached to the leaf.
Under a lens you are surprised to OBJ
serve how these tiny barrels, with
their vertical ribs, are held together.
At first each group of eggs looks like
miniature fluted column. But
with the aid of a magnifying glass
they look like ribbed barrels, placed
one on top of the other and swing
ing in space, with an almost invisible
thread holding them together.
Now what happens to the infant

hop merchant when he pushes his
way from his shell? Oh, I do hope
you will be able to see for yourself
The last egg that was laid may be the
sixth or eighth one. You can see
that this baby would tumble to the
ground and never find his way to the
tender leaf. But the last egg matches
first! And Junior or little sister
starts climbing right up that column
of brothers and sisters who are still
in their shells. By the time the
eldest caterpillar reaches the leaf
another one has cut its way out and
is going up"
For one month the caterpillars
spend all of their working hours
stuffing themselves. Then they change
into the characteristic chrysalids OF
the gold and silver markings. Ten
days are sufficient for them to trans
form into butterflies. About July you
will see a whole flock of these bright
winged flowers, as they fit about,
seeking hop and elm leaves on which
to deposit their eggs.
When these eggs hatch they will
change into chrysalidS by August,
and those appearing in September
must face the long, cold Winter.
Hunt up your little hop merchant
and see what he is doing with his
leaf. First he eats tiny holes in it
and then, as he grows more portly
and fine meal for bird who is
cruising about, he seeks the shelter
of the under part Of the leaf. Here
he spins for himself a tent. From
this shelter he sallieS forth to dine,
and soon he has consumed the very
roof over his head. That worries him
a little. He has outgrown it any
way, so he selects larger leaf, con-
structs a more roomy residence at
its tip and continues to eat and
grow up.
Almost any place is acceptable for
the hop merchant to spin his cover
ing, which soon hardens, and pro-
tects the sleeping one within.

Uncle Ray
A Jungle Adventure.
Allen Is CaDtured.

A S ALLEN padded downstream it
n seemed to him a glorious ad-
venture to be in the midst of Braxil's
jungleland. There were insects, to
be sure, and they knew how to bite,
but the youth forgot them in the
midst Of the beauty around him-the
gently-f1owing stream with clear
water, the vines, Towering plants and
trees lining each river bank, and the
hundreds of bright-colored birds
which few about.
At midday it was hot, but the
nights were cool. The white visitors
at the Kalapalo village had been
provided with hammocks, and they
had found it pleasant to sleep in
them. The Indians had proved most
friendly, and were very happy to re-
ceive the knives and other presents
which had been given to them.
There were said to be other In
dianS, living not far away, who were
not friendly. The Kalapalo folk had
given warning about them, but Allen
did not expect he would ever have
anything to do with them. He pad
died along in high spirits, and went
around a bend in the river. When it
was too late he realized his mistake.
Three long dugout canoes, each hold
ing five or six men, were just around
the bend.
The youths heart seemed to stand
still. Could these be the unfriendly
Indians of whom he had heard?
Without waiting to find out, he
started to turn his boat around, but
before he could do so, he heard a
warning shout. He looked toward the
Indians and found that several of
them had bows drawn and arrows
ready to shoot. Closer and closer
they came, Allen dropped lis pad
die, and held up his arms. Seeing
this, the Indians did not let loose
their arrows, but when they reached
him they caught hold Of his boat
and pulled him ashore.
what will happen to me?" Allen
wondered. Into his mind came the
memory of tales about jungle In
dams that were still in the cannibal
stage, but he tried to brush this
thought from his mind. Mr.. Weston
had told him that there were very
few, If any, cannibals left in South
America-and 1t did not seem that
there was much chance that he would
meet with the "few, If any"
Even if there should prove to be
no danger of such horrible kind,
Allen felt that there was other dan
ger. How could he know that his
life would not be taken as a sacrifice
to strange, savage gods? The faces
of his captors were grim. There were
no smiles such as he had seen in the
Kalapalo village.
When the landing was made an
Indian seized each of his arms and he
was led toward their village. How he
wished that he could find some way
to let his friends know of his danger

South understood all that. He
knew that North, commonly known
as "the Wolf of Wall Street." had
just cleaned up a cool million in
Consolidated Pineapple; that North
had rolled up 10 perfect scores in a
mere 80 years of bowling competition.
He also knew that North had earned
the title of the "Baboon of Bridge, {"
and that North played bridge solely
for recreation-that ''he didn't pre-
tend to understand it." North could
easily, and frequently did, drop $100
with a jovial chuckle. South. un-

money doesn't grow on trees.

in the general election of 1896.
when Mr.. Roosevelt as we'll as a
new Congress are to be elected.
Slaps Back at President
In its new statement, the first
1t has issued since President Roose-
velt hided it for loving its prop
erty more than its neighbors," the
league disclaimed being anti.New
Deal or anti.Roosevelt. And, in.
directly, it retorted to Mr.. Roose-
velt by saying of the league move
ment:
ut will not be stiIled by the
wiSe-crackS of politicians and
partisans or epithets that come
from those unfamiliar with its
sOlemnity of purpose"
Notwithstanding the disclaimer
OF being anti-New Deal, the league
listed number of ABUSES" which
1t intimated have grown up un-
DER the New Deal, and which it
proposes to correct, declaring:
I'VE believe that Congress
should represent the people and
not shirk that task by delegat-
ing its authority to bureaucrats
under the guiSe of administra-
tive efficiency"
This was construed as a direct
slap at the Seventy-third Con-
gress. the Roosevelt Congress,
Which enacted the recovery pro-
gram and delegated vast powers
70 the executive branch of the
Government. It continues:
1--WE believe that Congress
should make the laws and that
boards, bureaus and commits
siOnS should not be permitted to
promulgate arbitrary regulations
or decisions having the force of
laws. or to apply punishments
...Or to conduct trials without
adequate opportunity for review
and appeal"
This was direct thrust at the
NRA and the AAA, both of which
"promulgate regulations" and ZAP
ply punishmentS."
All Doubts DiSpelIed
If there was any doubt of this
1t was dispelled in the leagues
next believes"
I'VE believe, that the courts
Of the nation and not Govern
ment bureaus should pass upon
the questions of civil justice.
I'VE believe, that the several
States should retain the powers
not granted to the Federal Gov
ernment by the Constitution,
and that the Federal Gov
ernment should not, by use of
public funds or other form of
uSurpati0n, trespass upon the
rights of the States"
This apparently was directed at
the FERA and the PWA for their
vast expenditures and subsidies to
States for public relief and public
works. Another belief was:
1--WE believe that the right to
authorize spending of public
funds and to raise revenue is
solely the function Of the legis-
lative branch of the Govern.
ment, and that balanced
budgets and sound fiscal policy
can come only when there is re-
tentiOn by Congress .Of its full
responsibility for the nature and
manner of expending public
money"
This was a slap at Congress for
voting huge sums to be spent for
relief and recovery in any manner
the Executive saw fit. The league
warned:
"The time is coming when the
American people will have to de-
eide to what extent some of the
emergency measures taken with
out warrant of law or the Con.
stitutiOn shall be permanently
imbedded in our Constitution"
