He had advised Gray Fox to

What he needs is sudden fright"
| He trotted on and tried to forget
Gray Fox. After all, it was no busi-
ness of his. If his cousin was not smart
enough to keep out OF traps, ne would
have to suffer the consequences. That
was the law of life. Be smarter than
the other fellow or pay the price. 1t
looked very much as if Gray Fox
would have to pay the price, the very

There wasn't for the very good reason
that a Dog, hound, was lying IN the

of that Dog gave Reddy an idea. he
yapped sharply. The Dog lifted ms
head. Reddy yapped again. The Dog
was on his feet. Once more Heody
yapped and this time the Dog replied
and started after him. Reddy turned
and headed straight back for the ledge
where Gray Fox was caught by three
toes in the trap. Yes, sir, Reddy head

IF this doesn't do the trick that

Reddy.
For a time he headed straight for
where Gray Fox was a prisoner, out

began to circle around just out Of sight
of Gray Fox.
Perhaps you can guess how Gray
Fox felt when he heard the voice OF
that Dog drawing nearer and nearer.
He knew that Dog was chasing Fox
and he guessed that it was his cousin
Reddy Fox, who only a short time
before had professed so much SYM

Now he is leading that Dog straight
here. He knows I am helpless and
that Dog will kill me-" he thought
bitterly
Nearer and nearer sounded the bay

struggle as he had not struggled since
first those dreadful Jaws had clamped
on his toes. In his frantic fear as
The Dog steadily drew nearer he hardly
felt the pain of those imprisoned toes.
He plunged. He twisted and turned.
He tugged. Any instant he expected

Nearly all butcher shops in sub

prices.

Mrs. Mary Zuk, Hamtramck

Mrs. zuk led a committee Of

house owners, who told the
women that the present market
and price of live stock prevented
price cuts now.
Extra police were assigned to

persons were arrested. The police
were ordered to permit peaceful
picketing, but to make arrests in
all cases of violence.

PARIS, Aug. 9 U.N.S0.-Thor-
oughly alarmed at the rapid spread
and intensity of disaffection and
rioting among workers at Frances
leading naval arsenals, the French
government today ordered thou
sands of troops to converge on the
danger points.
Most of the armed forces were
dispatched to Toulon, which was
under a virtual state of siege fol
lowing riots last night in which
two were killed and more than 200
injured, two of whom were dying.
The situation eased somewhat
with settlement of the strike OF
French Line employees at Havre
which enabled the liner Cham
plain, bound for the United
States, to sail at p. M, two days
late. The liners Lafayette and
Columbia, of the same line, also
were to get away today after long
delays.
It was learned 300 heavy artil-
lery troops left Draguign and
1000 Senegalese moved on from
Frejus, both contingents bound
for Toulon.
Acting swiftly upon receipt OF
urgent order from Paris, 5000
mountain artillery troops en-
trained at Nice for Toulon.
Premier Laval said that the
government "does not intend to
weaken" because of the demonstra-
lions against the pay reductions,
and will adhere to his "save the
franc" economy program.

FARM AND CITY
LIENS TO Be
HALTED
House Hearings Open
Monday on Lemke's
New Measures
international News Service


Legislation granting a three
year moratorium on a potential
80, 900 million dollars of farm and
city mortgages became a distinct
possibility today as a result of a
sudden drive for measures to re-
place the FRI zier-Lemke law
knocked out by the Supreme
Court.
Although leaders are fighting
for early adjournment, hackers Of
two bills covering farm, city home
and small business mortgages were
optimistic over their chances for
success.
They recalled that the Frazier.
Lemke farm bankruptcy law was
Unexpectedly passed in the clos
ing days Of the last session with.
out Administration support.
Hearings Open Monday
The House Judiciary Commit
tee, after submerging two bills
drawn by Representative Lemke
(R.), of North Dakota, for months.
decided to hold open hearings
next Monday.
The twin measures have already
been approved by the Senate Ju.
dietary Committee and are on the
Senate calendar awaiting action.
Neither is involved in the Frazier.
Lemke farm mortgage initiation
bill.
One bill is drawn to meet the
Supreme Court decision holding
unconstitutional the FraZier-Lemke
law granting moratorium and
providing for sale of farms.
Backers of the measure also de-
cided to include mortgages on
small businesses and city homes.
The mortgage, Indebtedness on
farms and personal farm prop
erty is estimated at 10000 million
dollars, while the Indebtedness on
small business and city homes is
upwards of 10000 millions.
Representative Lemke claimed
the support of manv conservative
Senators for the bills. He said:
"The companion bills may be
described as measures to pre-
serve and protect both creditors
and debtors. A three-year mora
forum would be granted, with
the owner having the right to
redeem or to repurchaSe the
property at auction.
GWhiIA the tOfal noNrtVa 90 in.
debtedneSS is over thirty thou
sand million dollars, only a
small part actually would be
affected. First, a person must
declare himself a bankrupt in
Federal court. To do this he
must show that his assets do
not meet liabilities or that he
IS unable to meet his obligations
to creditors.
SATISFY SUPREME COURT
1.-THE measures are drawn to
meet the objections of the SUI
preme Court. The farms, bust
nesses and homes of many per
sons would be saved. Creditors
would be protected because
forced sales would be avoided
and the debts would ultimately
be readjusted or paid"
Approval of the Administration
is expected to be sought by a
group of Democratic Senators and
House members who are support
ing the movement.
