Bank Asked Dismissal.
The Louisville Joint Land Bank,
which held the $7.063 mortgage,
asked that Radford's Federal court
proceedings be dismissed on the
ground that Congress had no power
to pass the Frazier-Lemke act, that
it confiscated property without due
process Of law and that, by stopping
the foreclosure, it denied faith and
credit to the State court.
When the case was argued in
August Judge Dawson condemned
the statute in informal comment
from the bench. Once he stopped
John e. Tarrant, counsel for the
bank, saying he had heard enough
from that side, that he wanted to
hear the act defended, as in his
opinion 1t was "unconscionable and

They weren't. To the contrary,
they were plainly bored, peeved,

Naturally Clean
Cats are naturally clean and
it is easy to train a kitten to
cleanliness in the house. This
is simpler still if you get your
kitten in the first place from
some household where cats are
looked after and understood, as
a well-trained mother cat will
nearly always bring her kittens
up well and train them herself
to good habits.
Unless your kitten has free
access to the garden, you must
keep a flat box, or better still,
a washable pan, filled with dry
earth or sawdust in some con-

They were on the verge Of
one Of those futile and unneces-
sary Quarrels that flare up
from overstrained nerves. It
was interrupted by the sudden
appearance Of the Racketeer.
For the first time this mis-
chievous and furtive youngster
seemed to have thrown aside
his fear Of them-or perhaps it
was merely the embarrassment
Of q guilty conscience.
Real Danger
He came now bounding
through the plantation, chatter

in o state Of considerable ex-
element. Jerome gave him one
look, then rose and hauled

Of her still wobbly knees.

same zeal, combined rage and
fear, that had SO violently pos
SeSsed his sire. For q moment
it looked as if he was going to
prove even more dangerous be-
cause lacking in his parents
self control.
What might have happened
next cannot be known. The
challenge might have been fol.
lowed by actual attack or pos"
sibly the Racketeer might have
been satisfied and proud Of this
assertion of his manhood.
But to Papa not so far away
it sounded evidently like sheer
youthful braggadocio and crab
bing of his own act. The
chances are that as Papa saw
it the unpleasant incident was
closed. Any further demonStra-
ton was an anticlimax that
lacked dignity. At any rate be-
fore the last bellowings had
died away there came q rush
from the foot Of the plantation
that bordered on a marsh. Papa
was coming through like a baby
tank over a hummocky road.
But faster. Engaged in his solo,
the Racketeer did not discover
the approach Of his outraged
parent until the latter was very
close.
Then, with fearful squat Of
pure terror, he modified him
self. He showed a strategy in
90 doing. Papa could have
caught him before fairly under
way in the comparatively open
ground. But the younger and
more agile ape was not entered
for any foot race. He made a
magnificent bound to the side,
then q spring straight into the
air. Catching the end of a hang
ing bough where it was still
strong enough to hold his
weight, he went up that droop-
ing branch hand over hand and
foot over foot. He appeared In
deed to rack up it as a hound
dog might rack along a forest
path.
Respite
Papa gave a grunt of disap-
pointment and sprang for the
trunk Of the tree. Both apes
disappeared in a great crashing
Of foliage.
