Little did they know they were in
creaSing their troubles about five
times. for the starflsh has the amaz-
ing ability to become new starfish
if any part of the body is left on the
arm! Besides, these creatures are
very tenacious of life, and this is an
other reason why it is SO difficult to
destroy them.
You will have little trouble finding
many specimens of StarfiSh along all
our shores. The most common species
are found in Maine and great num-
Der OF varieties may be picked up on
the beach after a storm. Some are
less than an inch in diameter, others
as much as one or two feet. Those
on the Pacific Coast reach an even
greater size.
Usually these sea creatures are found
where you see the sea urchins, sea
lilies and cucumbers. When you turn
one of these fellows over on his back
you will see hundreds of little tubular
feet, which arise from the grooves on
the lower side of the arms. They wave
frantically about, and some of them
seem very long.
Each foot is hollow tube that ends
in a cup-shaped sucker. The upper
surface of a Starfish is covered with
spines, but not so highly developed as
you find on the sea urchins.
The babyhood of starfish is so COM
plicated you wonder how it ever reaches
adulthood The mother lays her eggs
loose in the water. The Matching
youngsters look like worms and are
transparent. AS they grow older you
can see their internal apparatus and
the tiny little arms. In Winter they
go into the deep water to keep warm.
but in Summer and Autumn look for
them in rocky situations in shallow
water, also in sea weeds and in eel
grass. A baby starflsh eats countless
baby clans. In fact, it is known that
one has consumed so baby clans a
week.

THERE are several probable sources

from what exact source it came into

Gaelic languages the word "deag" and
"dagh" signified good In Welsh "dai"
meant dark in color There Is a small
River Dee in Wales and the name was
ar ,pted as a surname by some of the
people living along its banks, later
calling themselves Day
There were several first settlers"
bearing this name in the New Eng
land Colony who have descendants
living in many parts of the country
today. Anthony Day came over as a
minor as early as 1880 and lived in
Salem, Mass. He afterward lived in
Ipswich and in 1645 was proprietor
in Gloucester. Ralph Day, a mason,
who was born in England, settled in
Dedham, Mass, about 1910. Stephen

EDDY FOX is what you might
call q philosopher. 1t is well
that he is, considering the life
i Y a Fox must lead. If he could
talk to you Reddy would tell you that
disappointmenr5 are large part OF
life, and that the one who cannot &C
cept disappoirtments in the right spirit
will miss a great deal out of life.
If ever in all his life Reddy had
been sure of thing it was that he was
going to take home a Postum dinner
to his family He had had Mrs. Pos
sum and the nine children she was
carrying lying at his feet, and it
hadn't seemed possible that he could
miss out on that Postum dinner. Now
Mrs. Postum and the nine little Pos
sums were safely up in tree, grinn1ng
down at him, and all because Mrs.
Skunk had interfered.
Reddy is wise enough to know when
he is beaten. He knew it the instant
he looked up and saw Mrs. Skunk and
her five little Skunks so near him that
only by hastv jump could he get out
of range of Mrs. Skunks scent gun.
He had made that haSty jump, and
then, as Mrs Skunk advanced, he had
backed away. He could have killed
Mrs. Skunk ano all those little Skunks.
He was big enough, with stout enough
teeth, to do that thing. But he didn't
dare face tina: scent gun that Mrs.
Skunk carries
So Reddy had backed away and
backed away, until Mrs. Postum had
seen her chance to scramble to her feet
and make for the nearest tree. So now.
as he looked no at her grinning down
at him, he grinred back. 1--we decided
to postpone that Postum dinner" said
he. "Ill wait till we meet again, Mrs.
Postum"
"Ah hope you will wait long time, :"
replied Mrs. Postum.
II hope you appreciate the value OF
a having q real friend near at hand"
replied Reddy He bowed to Mrs. Skunk
and trotted off to look for dinner
elsewhere. He was a good loser, was
Reddy Fox. He always is. Mrs. Skunk
looked after him as he disappeared.
You know" said Mrs. Skunk, there
are times when almost like that
fellow"
Mrs. Postum grinned as she looked
down from hel perch in the tree.
''You'uns Is welcome to like him If yo'
wants to, bus we'uns don't like him

Meanwhile Reddy trotted on his

There you have the plot essence Of
Dick Powelrs latest musical flicker
There also you do not have half an
inkling Of the gags, the satire and the
innumerable songs which make this
the most amusing of Warner Bros.
lyric cycle, and musically the least in
teresting.
Although Mr.. Powell's voice shows
undisputable evidence of improvement,
the ditties on which it is exercised
are singularly mediocre, with the au-
tomato exception of certain strains
from ''Rigoletto" recurrent through
out the tale.
Surrounding these moderate inter-
ludes of song is much better comedy
than one usually finds ip the cinema S
musical WITNESSES. Hobart Cavanaugh
and George Barber contribute a su-
perb moment of farce as two soused
and bored critics. Adolphe Menjou
reaches into the dialect comedians
stock room for some new comedy
twists, and Miss Joan Blopdell, who is
the Dizzy Dean of feminine Holly
wood when it comes to pitching a fast
wisecrack with a hop on it, again
twirls a good game of guffaw, al
though some of the bromides handed
her for delivery strangely resembled
spit balls.

da Vinci (Mr. Menjou), whose proudest
boast, to put it in dialogue writer's
own words, was that he once scored a
triumph in The La Scala" an Italian
opera house no doubt located next
