ger chased little Mrs. Peter. His
friendly feeling had turned to anger.
Yes. sir, it had turned to anger. Do
what he would, he couldn't catch up
with her. You see, she was smaller
than he and she could run more easily
and faster. She didn't tire so quickly,
or so quickly get out of breath. So it
was that after a while the stranger
stopped chasing her.
That first chase had been bad
enough, but it was only the beginning
That stranger gave her little peace.
He was always lying in wait for her so
that she had to be constantly on the
watch and keep in hiding as much as
possible. Two or three times he did

mouthfulS of fur from her coat. After
Peters return and the fight which
Peter lost, little Mrs. Peter Jared worse
than ever. The strange Rabbit spent
much of his time looking for her
When he wasn't looking for Peter. he
was pretty sure to be looking for Mrs
Peter.
All this Peter saw. Now and then
he would find tuft of hair that he
knew had been pulled from Mrs.
Peters coat. She was being abused
and Peter knew it. But what could
he do about it? He just didn't dare
to pick another fight openly. His only
chance would be to take the stranger
by surprise and get him at disad-
vantage. But how was he to do that?
1t seemed to him that that other Rab-
bit was the most watchful Rabbit he
ever had known.

Psychology

Combination Thoughts.

IT IS probably true that creative
) thought is the mother of invention
A better name would be thinking by
combination. BY putting different
features of different things together
you may create an imaginary object
The creators of funnies do nothing
but think up combinations. At the
same time they carry a few traits
through from day to day-just enough
to keep you looking for a personality.
It's easy enough to find a person
with a receding chin. Exaggerate
that recession and you may remove
the jaw entirely. Then hook up with
that zero chin a Dragging, boisterous,
chivalrous line of talk. This is, of
course, unusual. The very opposite Of
what you expect. The contrast at
tracts your attention. Things out of
place are funny.
Combination thinking is rare
talent. No one genius creates any
thing really new. The inventor Is
always one who can take some estab-
lished trait and hook it up with an
imaginary one that harmonizes with
it. If it works you have invented
something.
Mathematics and physics play a
great part in all inventions. Physics
establishes the law. Mathematics fur.
nishes the combination. Find a motor
powerful enough to create vacuum
and you may build an aeroplane. The
plane was imagined hundreds Of years
ago. 1t could not be created until the
engine was first created. When the
internal combustion engine was in
vented. the. plane was a simple matter

NEW YORK, January 25.-Corporate
bond market prices moved IN re-
stricted range today, with the trend a
trifle to the offside.
A minor rally in guaranteed obllga-
lions was the only feature IN the red
eral list, where small losses prevailed
in most of the active Treasury issues.
Sales of Government bonds crossed the
$1,000. 900 mark for the first time In
many Saturday.
Domestic corporation liens displayed
extreme hesitancy. Movements were
SO narrow that they were meaningless
in most cases, although there were
more declines than gains In all groups
except the low-yield ratings.
There was no news of importance to
influence investment sentiment save
the overnight announcement that
margin requirements had been raised
by the Federal Reserve Board, which
had little significance for bond market
traders inasmuch as most transactions
are for cash.

to That End; Army Sec.
ond Emergency Line

LONDON, Nov. 20. UP).-De-
Tense officials today reviewed with
satisfaction firing reports of anti
aircraft ship batteries against pr
lotless radio controlled airplanes.
Fully awake of Britain's vul-
nerability from aerial attack, the
nations defense program aims to
assure maximum protection from
sky raids. simultaneously a pow
erful bombing force is being de-
veloped to retaliate fully should
any Continental power wage a
war of aggression on Britain.
Geographically it is possible to
invade Britain only from the sea
or air. For this reason the navy
and air force are being expanded
rapidly and closely co-ordinated.
To support these two main mill
tary arms an entirely mechanical
army, featuring tanks, chemical
units and rapid-fire mounted ar
tillery, is being created.
The army in case of attempted
invasion would form a secondary
line of defense at ports and
against air raids.
British army officials want their
entire force and equipment to
move at speeds approaching so
miles an hour. Such speeds would
afford maximum concentrations at
danger points due to the smallness
of the British Isles. Roads abound
in all.parts of the country.
Recent naval exercises revealed
that increased attention is being
paid to anti-aircraft firing. The
radio controlled pilotless planes
have been sent aloft for three
hours at time flying between
IS and 100 miles an hour at
heights up to 10000 feet.
British authorities believe no
other country has developed pilot
less planes to the same level of eff
ficiency as their own. Planes
used are light de Haviland Queen
Bees" They are powered by a
four-cylinder air-cooled engine of
1870 horsepower. Made Of Wood,
the Queen Bee will float if brought
down on the water by gunfre.
The planes have two cockpits,
one of which is open and can be
fitted rapidly with flying controls
for use by human pilot. In the
other, closed, cockpit is the secret
mechanism which guides the ma
chine on it's course and controls
the engine throttle in obedience
to radio signals sent from q ship
or a ground battery.
