4 the land Of snow and Ice In
the Far North stared at each
other without friendliness but with
mutual respect. They were about equal
in size and strength. They had dis
covered this when they had fought Tor
a few minutes over Mouse. Neither
had had an advantage Each resented
the presence of the other, Hooty be-
cause he considered his big white cousin
an invader who had no right to be
there and Whitley because he had no
desire to share the hunting with an
other.
Hooty was beginning to grow curious.
Whitley had said that he had no use for
trees, and as Hooty prefers the thick
est parts of the Green Forest. he
couldn't believe his big cousin could
really mean what he said.
IF you don't like trees. where do
you build your nest?" demanded
Hooty.
"On the ground" replied Whitley.
There are few trees up where I live
and what there are are small. I don t
like trees"
What do you live on up there?"
asked Hooty
"Hares, Mice, Jennings. some Ducks
and Fish when can get them" replied
Whitley.
What Is a Lemming?" demanded
Hooty, his curiosity increasing.
Sort of a cousin of the Meadow
Mouse and looks much like him, only
bigger" replied Whitley
Sounds as if he would be good eat
ing" said Hooty.
Good eating!" exclaimed Whitley,
swapping his bill Give me plenty of
Jennings and that is all will ask"
Then why don't you stay up there
where the Jennings are?" demanded
Hooty rather sharply.
Because this Winter there are none
or so few that if I depended on catch
ing them l would starve to death. 1t
is the same with the Hares. I've seen
them so plentiful that often there
would be several in sight at one time.
1t was easy living then. easy living.
But this Winter they are as scarce as
the Jennings" he sighed.
when the Ducks moved South there
was nothing for me to do but to do
the same thing" he continued. $50
here I am. I don't like it down here.
There are too many of those two-legged
creatures. 1 don't trust them. They
are always trying to kill me with their
dreadful firesticks; why I don't know.

I haven't done them any harm. Il
wouldn't live as near their homes as
you do all the year through for any
thing"
you would get used to them and
learn to be smarter than they are" re-
piled Hooty- DO you do your hunting
at night like the rest of us?''
Might or day it is all the same to
me-" replied Whitley. Il hunt when l
am hungry. Sunlight doesn't bother
me in the least l can see in daytime
as well as any one"
"Oh as for that / can see in daytime
al right, but also I can be seen," re-
piled Hooty.
well, 1 don't like your Green Forest,
SO I won't interfere with your hunting
here. I prefer open country" replied
Whitley. -
So the two cousins agreed that one
would hunt in the Green Forest and
the other on the Green Meadows, along
the Big River and in the Old Pasture.

which do not at present know how to
unearth precisely with just these hold
ings. On the other hand if responder
held the ace of hearts he could now
raise the five diamonds to six. This
would be slam gamble, not a precision
bid. The risk is that opener holds a
singleton heart and two losing clubs.
Even so, there is a hope that the op-
ponent on the lead may not select the
right unbid suit to open; should he open
hearts from K @ j rather than clubs
from some 10-ace holding, the slam will
still probably be made by means of dis
cards on the spades. Needless to say,
If responder held both ace of hearts
and K-Q of clubs he would have re-
sponded differently on the first round.
Observe also that responder would know
his ace OF hearts was not duplication,
because If opener was void IN hearts
he could have made safe cue bid in
hearts at the four level over four dia-
monds, still permitting a sign-off at
five diamonds.

Life of Ages Past.

A BOUT a century and a half ago
n French wOrkmen were blasting
II rock near the town of Maestrlcht.
When they entered a cave where
they planned to do more blast
ing one of them caught sight of some
thing stretching down from the ceiling.
"Look!" he cried.
When the others looked they saw an
amazing thing-the jaws of monster!
The monster was dead and there was
nothing to fear from it.
Instead of blasting the cave, the men
labored to take the skeleton from the
rock in which it had been imbedded-
Many days were used in performing
the task, but at last the bones-lnclud-
ing those great. cruel-looking jaws
were moved to the town.
Word about the monster spread far
and wide. During the French Revolu-
ton Maestricht was bombarded. but the
soldiers were ordered not to point their
cannon toward the section where the
skeleton was kept. After capture of the
town the monster was placed on public
view in Paris.
That is the story of the first "Meuse
lizard" COR "mosasaur'O ever found, so
far as we have record. The name comes
from the fact that it was discovered
within range of the Meuse River.
Since that day thousands Of other
mosasaur skeletons have been found.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 7.-Sen.
Huey P. Long mobiized the Louisi-
ana national guard today against
the city Of New Orleans.
Troops from all sections of the
state converged upon the metropo-
lis, obeying the orders of the king
fish's" governor, o. Z. Allen.
The United Press learned from a
source close to Long that he did not
contemplate ruling New Orleans un-
der formal martial law at present,
but it was reported freely that he
would supercede civil government
partially with some form of mill
tary rule.
BY nocn 5000 soldiers will be at
the ''kingfiShs" disposal. The Uni
ted Press informant said the troops
would be held at the disposal" Of
the legislative committee investigat-
ing local vice. The committee is
guarded under a state of partial
martial law"
Angered because his legislative
committee investigating vice seemed
to be unable to produce any sensa-
tional evidence of graft against city
authorities, the "kingfish" threat
ened to declare martial law, cancel
the city's charter, and reduce New
Orltans to the status of country
road"
Twenty-six laws deliberately de-
signed to eliminate New Orleans
self government prerogatives passed
by the recent session of the legisla-
ture automatically became effective
at midnight. City officials had
threatened the use of force to pre-
vent their enforcement.
Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley and
his cohorts commanded the police
department of 5000 men. In the
court petition that resulted in sec
ond injunction against state police
entering New Orleans, the city an
nounced its intention to defend its
rights by force Of arms if neces-
sary."

Fight fans awaiting the gong for

today for the second time in "a
hours when rain forced postpone
ment of the 15-rounder from to-

This second delay will force both

He declined to commit himself as

There was the feeling among some

LOS ANGELES, Sept. Z. W.P) -
Grady McNeers thousand o-one
gamble with death will take place
at general hospital today when two
skilled surgeons operate to remove
a bullet from his brain bullet
which police claim he fired into his
own head after killing his estranged
wife, Betty Helen McNeer.
The operation was made possible
late yesterday when a superior court
order was issued requiring hospital
authorities to allow two brain spe.
cialists employed by the McNeer
family to remove the bullet after
staff surgeons refused to act them
selves. They had claimed the oper-
alton was too dangerous.
McNeer, in great pain and facing
imbecility if the bullet were not re
moved, preferred to have the oper-
alton despite it's delicate nature. His
pleas were carried to court by his

al of the third member, Marion
Smith, Atlanta.
Need for haste was apparent. The
atmosphere was electric through
the strike zone. sympathy strikes
of thousands of allied workers were
imminent possibilities. Troops by
the thousand deployed through the
CarolinaS to prevent violence by
speeding motorcades of strikers
fighting to bring non-union work
ers into the walkout.
Violence broke out in PennSyl-
vania on significant scale for the
first time when mill windows were
stoned by pickets.
Chairman Garrison, University of
Wisconsin professor. apparently was
playing a significant part in the
early phases of the peace board S
moves.
Prior to the strike, Garrison had
conferred repeatedly with strike
leaders, and with members of the
cotton textile industry. This wealth
of background knowledge he placed
dl the DOdTQ 5 disposal
Winant met Ingersoll at the labor
board offices. It was not known
why Smith had not yet arrived,
but Winant gave assurances that
all three members would meet to-

New pitched battles between fly
ing squadronS" OF strike organizers
and mill guards and militia were
feared on all sides. Six men were
killed in a pitched battle between
strikers and mill employees at EIo-
nea Path, S. c., yesterday.
In South Carolina all of the
states national guard was under
arms and detachmentS rushed from
one mill to another, attempting to
head off danger as it threatened.
Martial law for the entire state was
suggested.
North Carolina had 1900 guards.
men on duty. Trucks carried them
to the textile centers.
Virginia placed heavy guards
along the North Carolina border to
halt, if possible, threatened excur-
sions by union flying squads" So
far, Virginia operations have been
little affected.
In New England state police mo-
bilized for action. Deputies guarded
threatened mills.
Latest figures compiled by the
United Press showed 389 $50 work
ers idle-on strike or prevented
from working by closing of mills
for their own protection. There was
every indication the figures would
pass 100000 today.
Francis j. German, spokesman
and commander in chief of the
strike forces, limited other interna
tional unions might join forces with
the textile workers, possible fore
cast of the country's first general
strike. American Federation of La
Dor leaders said this was hardly
probable.
Nevertheless, 100000 cotton gar
ment workers were under strike call
for October l, and $4,000 hosiery
workers considered a sympathy
strike.
German warned that no proposal
for ending the strike will be con-
sidered until every textile mill in the
! land is shut down.
