wv his voice was angry.
II say you are stupid"
replied Reddy Fox, and
his voice was even angrier.
IT was smart enough to get a good
dinner, and that is more than you
got" retorted Gray Fox.
And too stupid to leave things so
that you might get future dinners in
the same place." snapped Reddy.
But smart enough to put the blame
on some one else" retorted his cousin.
Reddy WINGED. This was true.
Gray Fox had killed q dozen hens in
farmers henyard-had killed all but
one, just for the fun of killing. after
the manner of Shadow the Weasel.
One he had taken with him and
eaten while the farmer and his Dog
were hunting Reddy. for Reddy was
the one who was blamed for the kill
ing. 1t was Reddy's trail that the
Dog had followed, while Gray Fox was
safely hidden up in tree, being more
or less at home in trees, which Reddy
is not.
"Just the same, It was Q stupid thing
to do" retorted Reddy. mo smart
Fox would do such a thing as that. A
smart Fox wotild take but one hen at
q time and make as little disturbance
as possible doing it. He wouldn't visit
that henyard too often. I suppose If
that farmer hadn't come home when
he did you would have killed all the
hens in that yard"
Gray Fox grinned. "I certainly
would have killed some more" said he.
And now, if know anything about
it, you won't have another chance for
a long time to come" retorted Reddy.'
'"That is what I call being stupid.
You didn't look ahead. All you saw
was the fun Of killing a lot more
than you could possibly eat. though
what fun you can find in killing such
stupid birds as hens is more than
can understand. That henyard might
have furnished you with good dinners
the rest Of the Winter, but now, be
cause Of your stupidity, all the hunters
and Dogs in the neighborhood will be
out hunting you"
Hunting you. you mean." grinned
Gray Fox.
Reddy shook his head. "I mean
nothing Of the kind" said he. II
won't be here"

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Adult Education.

Adult Education.
WHILE the men of medicine are
solving some Of the riddles of
living, they are creating other riddles
for some one else to solve. There are
more healthy old people in the world
today than ever before. So the prob
lem of old age, If it is one, is on the
increase.
For one thing, it seems certain that
society will be obliged to establish q
postgraduate school. It appears that
prolonged life demands new and diff
ferent sorts Of training. There is now
on foot type Of education which is
beginning to be called adult educa-
tion.'
So far as the educational psychology
Of the situation Is concerned, it ap-
pears that the best time to enter that
new course in training Is somewhere
between 40 and so. From the labora-
tory of one brilliant psychologist
comes the hopeful intelligence that O
person is at his best when he reaches
the age Of AZ years and s months.
Another interesting fact seems to be
emerging from the psychological in
vestigation Of the situation. It is this:
The best time to learn thing is Just
before you need to use It. And new
needs are arising all the time.
II this be true, age will 60 In for re-
Election. Adults will seek those mem
tai thrills, whatever they may be, that
compensate for the physical inactivity
incident to growing old.

IF QUEEN NAB has visited you,

One of the prettiest turns in our

the duty ''to deliver the fancies Of

The expression has been in our Ian

appearance being In Shakespeare's

four, published near the close of the
sixteenth century, in the lines:
Romeo-I dreamt dream tonight.
Mercutio-And so did I.
Romeo-Well, what was yours?
Mercutio-That dreamers often lie.
Romeo-In bed asleep, while they
do dream things true.
Mercutio-O, then, I see Queen Nab

peared In Irish poetry In the imagin-

down the ace of clubs and found his

South went about his task method

Those who adopted it as surname
undoubtedly took it from one of these
place names.
The coat Of arms here reproduced
was borne to America by George Far
ley, who settled in Woburn, Mass and
became a proprietor in Billerica,
Mass, in 1910. The only record We
find of his earlier life is that he was
the son of Fabian Farley of England
and was born in 1919. His brothers,
Michael and Mesheck, came to this
country in 1875, and settled in Ips-
wich, Mass.
This name is also a well known one

Saturdays Election

Texans on Saturday viii vote for or against seven
proposed changes to the constitution Of the state.
That Is, Texans viii have the opportunity to vote on
these changes. Whether or not the duly qualified
voters Of the state avail themselves Of the opportunity
Is another matter. Little interest has been displayed
In any section of the state in the coming election.
and from all appearances an extremely light vote
will be cast.
The Brownsville Herald urges its readers to 20 to
their election places Saturday and vote. Whether
the amendments carry or fail is in itself not so i'm
portant as that voters Of Texas take the proper in
terest in elections Of this sort. Some Of the proposed
amendments provide for radical changes in our gov
ernmental set-up. Others call for changes not so
radical. but stnl changes. All are important ques-
tons. All deserve a verdict at the hands Of q sub
stantial proportion Of the voters of the state.
In order as they viii appear on the ballot the
changes are:
l. Old Age Pension Amendment. This amendment
would give the legislature the power to pay pensions
TO all residents Of the state over the age OF IS. ex-
ceptions being made in the case Of habitual drunk
ards, criminals and inmates Of state supported insti-
tutions. The maximum amount to be paid by the
state would be SIS per month. calling for an expen-
diture by the state Of approximately s~5O.oOo.OOo an
nually.
2. Temporary Commitment OF Insane. Under this
amendment a person could be committed to a state
institution under medical supervision and observa-
ton for 90 days prior to a trial by jury TO determine
his sanity or insanity.
3, Repeal Of Liquor Prohibition. The legislature
would have the power to determine the manner in
which liquor would be sold in the state. with the open
saloon expressly prohibited.
4. Submission OF Amendments at Special sessions
OF the legislature. At present amendments may be
adopted by vote OF the legislature for submission to
voters only at regular sessions.
5. Suspended Sentence or Probation. This amend
ment is designed to give the courts authority to place
persons under suspended sentence on probation. At
present the courts have no authority over persons
given suspended sentences. and for this reason many
courts hesitate to give such sentences.
8. Abolishing Fee System for Paying Officials. The
legislature would set the salaries Of fee officials In
counties over 10000 population. Fees would be col
lected as in the past, but would 60 into the general
funds Of the county.
z. Free Text Books for Private and Parochial
Schools. In addition to authorizing the state to sup
ply textbooks to such schools, the amendment also
provides a change in the manner Of distribution Of
the apportionment Of school funds. At present such
funds are apportioned according to tAs scholastic
population Of the school districts. II adopted, the
manner Of apportionment would be left to the legts-
iature.
All Of these amendments have been discussed at
length In the press Of the state.
All have their good and their bad points.
