 Here! Quick! Lend hand. fellah!" Tinker grasped the hand of the tall man and swung himself down onto the tracks. He bent his little body over and swooped up the pigeon. He almost lost his foot ing as he hopped aside for the steel monster that bore down to- ward him. And, although the train was slowing to a stop, two whole cars passed over the track where the pigeon had been before it came to a stop.
 The tall fellow leaned down and drew Tinker up to the platform, while the crowd surged about, laughing and cheering. A girl took the bird tenderls- in her arms. What is your name, pal?" ask ed the tall fellow.
 Tinker To----I mean, Joseph l.. Carter stammered Tinker, looking up at him. The man grasp ed Tinker's little hand in his. Well, I'm proud to know you, Carteri It takes a BIG man to risk his own life for that of bird! This is one of the biggest things I've seen in my life, and I'll never for get it!'

 known that it takes a big man to
 be a midget!''

Tinker Toy was riding down to the worlds fair grounds on the "L" to-day. He loved to ride on | the "L," but he usually took a cab, because his little feet hardly reach ed the floor of the car and every body always looked at him. Little girls nudged mothers and pointed. l Young girls "kidded" each other about him. Young. men smiled down at him condescendingly. Tin ker Toy did not mind being stared II at in the Midget Village-much-- that was his job. But outside he
 hated it; had always hated it.
 But Tinker was not thinking of
 being stared at now. He was doing
 a little staring himself at the man who sat across the aisle from him,
 the tall, straight, slim man with
 one long, slender leg thrown over
 the other.
 Now, If I were feet tall shou1dd be a policeman, thought Tinker, or even a captain in the army! When I went out in the evenings I should wear tall silk hat and trousers with a stripe down the leg. Bet would be dashing fel- low.
 What a man!" l would make the girls say instead of, Isn't he cute?" When I rode on trains or cars should always stand, of course, grasping one of those straps in the ceiling and reading my paper. I would ride spirited horses and play polo! Play tennis! would swim for championships and might even do a little wres- tling! have always felt, too, that trapeze performing had its good points. I would float through the air with the greatest of ease.
 And I would have me a tall girl, too! No little mites for me! I would sit with one leg over the other, like that fellow across the aisle. And I would ride the surface cars just for the fun of throwing my legs out into the air and hop ping them after they had started! Tinker's face grew hot as he re- membered how, once, a man had actually picked him up and set him on the platform, thus winning a laugh for himself from the on- lockers, but blush for link.
 Yes, If I were tall fellow I should--But the crowd was get ting off at State and Van Buren. He must change trains. Tinker made his way out under arms and bundles. The tall fellow came just behind him.
 But what was the crowd surging to the edge of the platform for? fCan't somebody get it?" cried a girl, towering above him.
 "Yeah?" a smart, young fellow

 But 1t is hurt" the girl argued. And"
 Tinker crowded and pushed through. What he saw, below there on the tracks, scufsling and dragi- ging along, was one of the loop pigeons. It. apparently, had a broken wing and it dragged q leg. Is beak was open: it's breath came in quick gasps, lifting the beautiful, throat. It edged toward the charged rail.

EDUCATION BOARD NAY DECIDE
ON DEFINITION OF Word "OWL''

Is the owl a bird of wisdom. or is he
just an animal of the night?
That's the question which the Board
of Education may be called upon to de-
eide at its meeting late today. when it
considers the protest of the Sigma Nu
Phi Fraternity against use by Nc
Kinley Night School students of the
word owl in the title of their news
paper, The Night School Owl"
If the board decides the owl is just
another night bird, they probably would
refuse to accede to the demand of the
fraternity to change the name of the
night school paper. If the board de-
cideS the owl is bird of wisdom it
might, by the same token. admit that
Sigma Nu Phi has exclusive right to
use of the birds name in the title of
its journal, The Owl of Sigma Nu
Phi"
The story boils down to a protest
made October 25. by Carlyle S. Baer,
international secretary of the fraternity
and editor of The Owl of Sigma Nu
Phi. against the use by the public
night school students of the word owl
as the title of their paper. Mr.. Baer
cited a news story in The Evening
Evening star., 1934-01-03

Star, announcing the staff of the high
school paper, and referring to the pub
liCation in the headline merely as the
Owl to support his contention that the
high school students infringed on the
copyrighted title of their 17-year-o old
journal.
Letters passed between the secretary
of the School Board, Harry o. Hine:
Mr.. Baer and Edward j. Lockwood,
director of night schools, 1t was the
contention of the school officers that
the two organizations chose the owl
for differing reasons: The fraternity
using the brd as an emblem of wis
dom, and the night school students
selecting him for his natural night
prowling habits. At any rate, the fra
ternity turned its protest over to an
attorney, Herbert Benjamin, and the
school authorities countered with ref
erence of the whole matter to the cor
poration counsel.
Today Francis Stephens. assistant
corporation counsel, is formally advis-
ing the School Board that 'he cannot
agree" that use of the "owl" by the
high school students is an infringe
