told how he had managed to get into
that hole and he had gone far enough
down to be in the dark. He had heard
q Dog smiling at the entrance. He
had heard the footsteps of the hunter.
Then the hunter and the Dog had
gone away and he had remained there
suffering and helpless.
He had heard his fathers rally call
and had heard some of his brothers
and sisters answer 1t, but he himself
had been too i'll to answer. Besides,
he was afraid to. He had spent
terrible night. The next morning he
had crawled a little nearer to the en-
trance, and there he had whistled the
weak, plaintive call that finally his
parents had heard.
what did he do 1t for? What did
he do it for?" asked the young Quail,
as he told about the hunter with his
terrible gun.
Bob White shook his head sadly.
II don't know" said he. II don't
know what he did it for. Every year
at this time wonder what the hunt
ers with terrible guns have against
us Quail. / don't know"
For two days the young Quail was
fed and cared for by his father and
mother. He managed to get out of
that old Chuck hole. You see, Quail
are birds of the open. He did not
like to be In a hole in the ground.
He still suffered from his wounds, but
he suffered still more from the dread
full, dreadful feeling of helplessness.
1t was terrible not to be able to fly.
1t was terrible not to be able to
run around. But for his father and
mother he would have starved to
death.
And then just at dusk into that
brushy fence corner came Reddy Fox.
Reddy had more than once caught a
| Mouse there. He was looking for
Mice now. But what he found was a
far greater treat than even the fattest
of Mice could have been. First, he
found Mrs. Bob White. She suddenly
appeared almost in front of him-al-
most under his nose, fluttering and
tumbling about as if she were badly
hurt. Reddy grinned. He knew that
trick. Long, long ago he had learned
! that trick He wasn't fooled for an
instant. He knew just what 1t meant.
1t meant that there was some one
there that Mrs. Bob White wanted to
lead him away from. and he just
wouldn't be led.

MORTGAGE TRACED
BACK TO INCEPTION
Its Development Has Been
Relentless Fight on Two
Sides, Is View.

The history of the mortgage and
the mortgage-lending system is traced
from the beginning of time in an
article in the october issue OF the
Mortgage Portfolio, just issued by the
Federal Housing Administration.
The article points out that the de-
velopment of the mortgage has been
o relentless crusade for justice to
both lender and borrower. The first
record of mortgage comes from the
Bible. Ancient Jewish laws provided
for them. They were given without
regard to distinction between personal
and real property. This distinction
was later developed by the Romans.
Originally the lender took possess
sion of the thing mortgaged. but
gradually it became the practice to
leave the borrower in possession, con-
tingent upon the payment of the debt.
These early mortgages contained con-
tractual agreements of any nature
which the parties involved saw fit to
include.
Redemption Right Kept.
Because hard-pressed borrowers
were being driven to make any sort
OF an agreement, the. law began to
impose certain restrictions. The old
Anglo-Saxon form of mortgage was
really pledge. The lender took pos
session of the property and the profits
were applied to the curtailment of the
debt. The borrower had the right to
redeem at any time.
Lenders soon became unwilling to
accept this type of security because
of the difficulties in dispoSing of the
property, due to the continuing right
OF the borrower. The ensuing refor-
nation was violently reactionary, con-
tanning the condition that unless the
mortgage was satisfied at a certain
time the estate became vested in the
lender without right of redemption.
The injustice in this agreement was
quite apparent, but the courts were
powerless to give relief. Thus equity
came about and gave relief when the
law failed. The King, after many ap-
peals had been made to him, dele
gated an individual called a chancel-
lor to act for him, and the acts OF
Clle CIldIlCellOr came TO De Known as
equity. Gradually there were estab-
liShed separate and distinct courts of
equity. Foreclosure became the only
means by which the lender could
divest the borrower of his equity of
redemption.
Trustees Provided For.
AS soon as this principle was estab-
lished, however, creditors began to
attempt its evasion and a bold de-
cision of equity was made that the
creditor could not preclude himself
from his right to redeem. Eventually
the court favored an amendment
which allowed the use of disinter-
ested parties as trustees of the land
until the debt was paid or the prop
erty conveyed to the lender.
Today the lender is considered as
having no more than a security inter-
est, with the ownership of the land
remaining in the borrower, subject
to this interest. This doctrine has
been adopted by every jurisdiction in
the United States, though, technically,
few States still cling to the common
law theory.

CBy Associated Press,

MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 19.-If you
go out on a party here and get
drunk, just call up the police de-
partment and a patrol car will take
you home.
No fine, no arrest, no charge,
no strings of any kind-iust so
you keep away from the wheel
of your own car until you become
sober.
The system is part of the police
departments safety drive. Of six
fatal automobile accidents here re-
Gently, five were caused by drunk
en- drivers and one of the victims
was a policeman. This impelled
Andrew J. Kavanaugh, director of
public safety, to make the offer.
Let the other fellow dr'vc,"
he urged. IF there is NJ Other
fellow, call a cab, and if you find
yourself financially embarrassed
and still conscious enough to be
safety-minded, call police head
quarters and we viii see you are
taken home in safety-only do not
do it too often"
/. How often "too often" would
be, Kavanaugh did not say in his
speech, but he indicated in an in
terview that twice would be about
enough.
He said several men had avail
ed themselves of the ser<ice. The
policemen just drove their charg-
es to the front door and helped
them up the steps-no extra frills,
like circumventing irate wives or
delivering the automobile too.

COMPILE REPORT
ON GAME KILLED
In This STATE
FIGURES ARE ASTOUNDING,
SAYS SECRETARY OF CON-
MISSION; ADVOCATES PAR
TIAL CONSERVATION
OBy Associated Press)


TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Sept.
19.-Fleet-winged bobwhite quail
die by the hundreds of thousands
in Florida when hunters pull the
triggers of their shotguns during
a 90-day hunting season.
l. N. Kennedy, executive Sec
rotary of the state game and fresh
water fish commission, figures the
annual ''kiIP at 6I7,5oO quail.
He based his estimate on reports
which hunters make when they
apply for licenses.
Law provides a hunter must re-
port the game he killed in the pre-
vious season when he obtains a
license for the current season.
This year, for the first time,
Kennedy compiled the figures OBJ
tanned from county judges in AT
counties. With these in hand, he
estimated the game killed an
nually by hunters of the other 20
counties, and figured it this way:
617,5O0 quail, 100000 doves,
It's, 900 squirrels, 10000 ducks,
1850 deer, $3.50 turkeys, 500
geese.
These figures are certainly as
founding" Kennedy said. Sports
men must be conservative if we
are to keep Florida a good hunt
ing ground. They should abe es-
pecially careful in shooting quail
to leave at least four birds in
coYey."
Last year there were $4,000
hunting licenses and $4,000 fresh
water fishing licenses sold in
Florida, as compared with $4,000
and $4,000 the previous year.
Licenses now are being sent out
to the counties for this season.
Unfortunately" Kennedy con-
tinued, 1--WE have no way of max
ing comparisons. 1t is the first
time any estimation has been
made by hunters of game taken.
We do know, however, that the
number of hunters increases every
year.
''These figures are conserva-
tive because they do not include
hunters beneath the age of 16 or
those over 65, who did not pur-
chase licenses"
Hunters in Duval County
(Jacksonville) alone reported
killing 62,454 quail. Volusia
County (Davtona Beach, hunters
said they killed 209 deer. The
Dade County (Miami) hunters re-
ported killing the most turkeys,
1877.
Other top figures included:
Squirrels. Duval County, 20.340;
doves, Duval County. 42.281;
geese. Leon County (Tallahas-
see), Sc: ducks. Rrevard County
(Titusville). 6.73S.
