This cotton wad should only be
large enough to go clear through the
tube easily. without clogging or pack
ing inside of the tube. Wetting the
cotton slightly with the tongue will
aid the passage.
Now insert the dart, point first, In
the mouth of the tube and blow real
hard with a short. quick puff. The
dart will be expelled in straight line
and go about 25 to so feet. If the
cotton wad holds the dart in the tube
punch it out with long stick and
pull some of the cotton of until it will
pass through the tube without stick

Make a dozen or more of the darts
and carry them in a pouch. Your aim

as you get the knack of blowing into
the tube, you will be able to hit your
target every time.

Then every pig must run from his pen

AS the door closed behind him,
Ronnie and Hicky slipped noiselessly
from bed, pulled of the pajamaS, and

Suddenly they heard muffled foot

about the gang. But you don't look

told us he can get us in the gang.
So I'm asking you now to help us
and maybe later We can help you"
I'm licked his lips. Then he hunched
~ forward eagerly. You bet I
will! And I can. too" His voice
became bitter. "I know that gang.
I left home because my family was
hard up. and since then I've been
having tough time. One day a
man came up to me on the street
and said If I'd drive his car for him
to the next town he'd give me $50.
So of course did it. He gave me
the keys and pointed the car out to
me where it was parked.
$50 got in and drove it to the
next town, and there the cops picked
me up" He hesitated, looking at
the floor. "And didn't get the $50.
$3.50 here I am"
Ronnie walked over to where Jim
sat. He slapped the boy on the

can, Jim," he said
Jim looked at him gratefully. He
gulped, then spoke again. And that's

along for companionship. He's got
something up his sleeve, and if we're
not careful We'll end up with a few
more bumps on the head"
Ronnie's brow wrinkled. "Well,"
he said slowly, that's a chance we'll
have to take. But it's a cinch this
is our best chance to find out about

Hicky shrugged. 20 K, I'm with

RELIEF
FARLEY HITS
NEW SNAG
House and Senate ConfereeS
Fail to Agree, Baking
Final Enactment
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

President Roosevelt'S 1880 mil
lion dollars work relief bill faced
new delay in its final enact
ment today when a fourth con-
ference of House and Senate con-
ferees broke up without an agree
ment.
The confereeS were reported to
have agreed on the highly con-
troverSial labor section, but to
have warred over a provision call
ing for Senate confirmation of
national and State relief admin
istratorS. This new controversy
blocked an agreement.
The labor controversy was set
tied by approval of a revised sec
ton, giving Mr.. Roosevelt author
ity to determine ALLEGATIONS for
work under a limitation compelling
use of one-third of a 100000, 900
non-Federal project fund for en-
ployment of labor. This was
clear victory for Senator Carter
Glass CD, Virginia, who fought to
place a ban on use of the fund to
purchase or construct power
plants.
The conference ended Subject
to the call of the chairman" Glass
said.
"A sharply conflicting report of
the deadlock was aired shortly
after the conferees adjourned. The
rumor was there had been an
agreement on the confirmation
controversy, but no agreement on
the labor section.
It was said the House conferees
first proposed to accept the new
labor provision, with the alloca-
tionS reduced from one-third to IS
per cent, but later retracted and
offered to accept the original Sen
ate amendment.
TIE latter carried no specific
ALLEGATION for labor. Senate con-
ferees were said to have refused
this counter offer, since it would
perm it loans for purchase or con-
st"uction of power plants.
The conference heads, Senator
Glass and Representative Blu
chanan CD, Texas, refused to
reveal what had happened.
"NC agreement, but progress"
was all Buchanan would say.
The joint resolution is still
in conference" was Glass COM
menJ.

"fixer." Other District officials
would have no Jurisdiction over

The bill is designed to relieve

Magistrates, under the proposed

at specified periods.
Under the terms of the bill
the action of the magistrate could
