Bedtime Stories
Father Reddy.

doorstep He offered her the Mice
She shook her head. He made soft
little sounds, urging her to take the
Mice, but she continued to refuse
Finally, when he was sure that every
one had had enough. he went of by
himself and ate the two Mice. 1t
wasn't much of a meal for one who
had worked so long and so hard but
1t helped. Then he. too, lay down
for nap.
But Reddy's nap was short one
First one and then another of the
little Foxes came out and began to
play about. Finally four of the five
were rolling and tumbling together,
and jumping on their mother and
playing, Just like little puppies.
Reddy sighed. 1t was a pleasant
sight to see, and he was very, very
proud of those four children that ne
was watching and Of the one who
was still in the house He was proud
of them, but he sighed, because he
knew that play would mean renewed
appetite In q short time.
So Reddy got to his feet and walked
over to where the youngsters were
playing. One of them jumped at his
tail Another pretended to bite one
of his feet Reddy grinned Then,
without a word, he turned and trotted
off He had started hunting once
more.
Mrs. Reddy allowed the youngsters
to play while Then she sent them
all into the house, and she, too. started
off to hunt. 1t was amusing how
much five growing little Foxes could
eat Yes. sir, it was SO, and she was
very, very thankful that she did not
have TO provide all the food, as some
of the mothers of her acquaintance
did.
"Reddy is a good father" thought
she. There is none better. I can
always depend on him. If anything
should happen to me he would work
himself to skin and bones to keep
those babies supplied with food. and
if there is any one in all the Great
World more generous than Reddy Fox
don't know who 1t is"

Mrs. Reddy. for that matter How
ever, il seemed as if Reddy was grow
lnc thin faster than was Mrs. Reddy.
His neighbors noticed it.
That fellow will work himself to
death for his family" said Jimmy
Skunk. as he and Peter Rabbit
watched Reddy trotting past the dear
Old Brlar Patch with two mice in
his mouth.
That wouldn't make me feel badly
said Peter. However. am not going
10 count on it. Reddy is just like
this every Spring. He just works
himself to shadow for his family"
Jimmy Skunk nodded L know it.. .
said he. Il can't see any sense in
that"
Nor l." replied Peter. Il leave my
children to the care of their mother" -"
so DO t. replied Jimmy. But
Reddy Fox seems to think that those
youngsters are going to Starve if he
doesn't keep them fed up"
IT IS pity that you don't follow
his example" said Mrs. Skunk Grossly,
for she happened along just in time
TO overhear that remark.
Jimmy said nothing. He just pre-
tended that he didn't hear Mean
while Reddy had gone on home with
the two Mice. He was tired, was
Reddy. He was tired and footsore.
Moreover, he was hungry. He hadn't
had bite since he started out hunt
ing the afternoon before. He hadn't
had bite, in spite of the fact that
hunting had been good. You see,
everything he had caught he had
taken home to Mrs. Reddy and the
children.
First, he had made sure that each
OF the children had had all he or
she could eat Then he had insisted
that their mother should eat. Not
mouthful would he touch so long as
she or the children were hungry.
Mrs. Reddy had tried to make him
eat, but he had simply left what he
had brought and started off again.
Now when he reached home with the
two Mice he found that the children
were asleep inside the house and
Mrs. Reddy was curled up on the

made as to fly. by certain mechanical
art and power. 1t was balanced nicely,
and was put in motion by hidden and
inclosed air"
II such a pigeon was ever made, 1t
was a flying machine of sort. 1t
would seem to have been only q toy
perhaps built to amuse child. but
the story of it filled people with Won
der.
Archytas lived to the age OF 81 and
his ability to make clever toys ,ed
some persons to call him a man of
magic" We are not told very clearly
what power was used to make the
pigeon fly. Possibly the hollow body
was fllled with compressed air, which
caused the wings to hap.
Perhaps the story is only a legend,
with little or no oasis in fact; but it
lived throughout the centuries and
made people puzzle about the question
of flying
There are other tales Of night long
ago, among them one about Simon
the Magician. who tried to fly at
Rome. Another tale says that a
Saracen broke his bones" after
stretching wings and leaping from q
tower at Constantinople.
Almost six centuries ago the learned
English friar, Roger Bacon, explained
two ways in which men might fly.
He told of possible balloon and also
wrote: There may be made some n.y.
ing instrument so that a man Sit
ting in the middle Of 1t and turning
some mechanism can put in motion
wings which will beat the air like
a bird flying"
Bacon was accused OF dealing In
BLACK art" and spent 10 years of his
life in prison but he ranks among the
pioneer thinkers about the art of ny-
ing.

Perhaps we shall never be able to

Health Routine

The tedious routine of keeping
fig which Miss Pons now follows,
forms the basis of the story of her
picture, Love Song" The story
was written especially for Miss
Pons by Miss Elsie Finn, Phila-
delphia reporter, as the result Of
a statement by the singer that she
wished to be just plain Lily Pons,
and that she dreamed of the time
when she would feel that she could
afford the luxury of a more pri-
vate life.
Miss Pons also admitted that
she would be delighted to make a
motion picture if she could find
the right story. Miss Finn de-
veloped the theme expressed by
Miss Pons and the scenario was
accepted by both producer and
the singer with the result that the
film will be shown in Washington
about the middle of next month.
The theme of Moment Mu-
sical," by Franz Schubert, shown
above, is a piece that is popular
with salon orchestras. The various
themes of the number seem to eX-
press several random musical
thoughts conceived by the master
of beautiful tunes.

LONGS AIDES
BATTLE OVER
CANDIDATES

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 81 GIN.
S0.-A dozen secret meetings
over the State had an air of mys-
terry today as leaders Of the late
Senator Huey P. Long apparently
were still deadlocked over the Sc
lection of candidates for the forth.
coming primary elections.
No less sensational than his an.
nouncement that he would be a
candidate to succeed Governor o.
K. Allen was Lieutenant Governor
James A. Noes declaration that
Senator Huey P. Long, on the
very day he was assassinated, had
outlined a ticket for the primary
elections.
A. P. Tugwell, chairman Of the
Louisiana highway commission,
was the first choice of the late
Senator Long, Noe said. Tugwell
declined and Judge Richard Leche
was asked to run. Leche having
declined, Long offered the post
to him, Noe then stated.
Meanwhile rural leaders showed
no tendency to accept Noe as
their standard-bearer. These
leaders, headed by Robert S. Macs.
tri, Louisiana conservation COM
missioner, conferred behind closed
doors in an effort to find way
out.
Maestri stood out as the leader
of a bloc from the southwestern
country parishes, which favored a
candidate other than Jimmy Noe.
Reports early today said com.
promise had been reached where
by Noe would run for governor
and Earl Long, brother of the late
Senator, would run for lieutenant
governor. This could not be con.
firmed.

TARIFF RAISED
0NCANPH0R

President Roosevelt has ap-
proved a report of the Tariff
Commission imposing a duty of
five cents a pound on imports of
synthetic camphor, it was re-
vealed today.
Following an investigation, the
Tariff Commission had recon-
mended that the tariff rate be
reduced to one cent a pound if
domestic production did not ex-
ceed so per cent of the consump.
tion during the six months ended
June II. In its report, the COM
mission found that domestic pro-
duction greatly exceeded" the
legal so per cent.
According to Tariff officials,
synthetic camphor in the United
States was manufactured by but
one firm until late in 1884, when
a second company entered the
industry at a plant in New Jer.
sey.
Synthetic camphor is used in
making pyroxylin, celluloid and
the thin sheets used in shatter-
proof automobile window panes.

WORKS BOARD
TO MAKE LAST
ALL0TMENTS

International News Service
A final meeting Of the works
allotment advisory board is ex-
pected to be called early next
week for recommendations on the
last of allotments under the 1000
million-dollar work-relief act be-
fore President Roosevelt leaves for
the West.
While the President has made
known the lump sums that the
PWA, WPA, and other govern
mental agencies will receive from
the 1900 million dollars remain
ing portion of the relief fund and
no board meeting is considered
necessary to carry out the pro-
gram, PWA Administrator IckeS,
chairman of the board, said today
final meeting would be held.
Up to President
AS Tuesday has been the Gus
tomary day for it's meetings, the
board is expected to assemble on
that afternoon if agreeable with
the President, who usually meets
with the board.
Actual selection of projects,
however, is in the hands chiefly
of Ickes and WPA Administrator
Hopkins, and any board meeting
would be merely matter of form.
In the final analysis, the Presi-
dent passes on all applications.
If recommendations of Ickes,
Hopkins and heads Of other gov.
ernmental agencies do not meet
with his approval they do not
get the money.
Ickes' PWA program has been
cut down to $347, 900, 900 for pub
lie works, of which $147, 10000
already has been approved, and
$100,000,000 for low-cost housing.
100000, 900 Left
That leaves approximately 900
million dollars of the remaining
work relief fund which is ex.
pected to 60 to Hopkins WPA
for State programs. If sufficient
jobs are not created by November
/, when direct relief was sched-
uled to end, some of this fund
no doubt will be reserved to con-
tinue direct relief until all the
three million five hundred thou
sand employables on relief rolls
have been provided with jobs.
To date, only 936,218 jobs have
been created.

JAPS DOUBLE.
TEXT|LEFL00D

Japan has dumped more than
twice as much cheap cotton cloth
in the United States in the first
eight months of this year than
in any IL months period in the
history of commerce between these
nations.
This was disclosed by the De.
partment of Commerce today
in a report showing American i'm
porters, from January / to Sep
tember 1. bought 35,711,002 square
yards of Japanese cotton cloth.
The closest approach to this was
in 1884, when purchases aggre-
gated 17,864,771 square yards for
the entire year.
The mounting volume Of cheap
japanese cloth under bond in
warehouses is expected to bring
a further slash in the price Of this
material in an effort to move it
quickly into American channels Of
consumption.

SECOND TOUR
PLANNED BY
PRESIDENT

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. 81
'UN.S0.-A late fall swing that
will take President Roosevelt in
to the central States, the border
States and the South was shaping
up today as a follow-up to his
trans-continental trip which be-
gins from Washington late next
week.
The start of this tour seemed
definitely pegged as a result Of
the Hyde Park visit of Governor
Paul v. McNutt, of Indiana, who
expressed confidence that the
President would participate in
dedicatory exercises for the
George Rogers Clark memorial
at Vincennes, Ind, about Novem-
ber II or 18, with a side trip to
the shrine to Nancy Hanks
Lincoln, nearby.
This Indiana visit, according to
McNutt, will be made on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's way to Warm
Springs, Ca, for his customary
observation of Thanksgiving.
Such an irregular routing will
take the President into Kentucky.
It was understood tentative ar
rangements had been made to
stop in that State also in connec-
ton with a Daniel Boone celebra-
tion.
There were reports, which lacked
confirmation, that Mr.. Roosevelt
might find his way into Texas in
the course of this second trip. He
has a tentative engagement with
Vice President Garner at Uvalde,
which possibly could fit into the
schedule.
AS for the Western trip, the
President was expected to leave
Washington next Thursday night,
September 26.
