Grouse can fly fast for q short dis

was gaining on her. The two young

held their breath as they watched.
Why had their mother done this?
Why had she run such rick? Would
that terrible killer catch her? It
looked so. It looked very much so.
They wanted to cry out, but Of course
they didn't.

DEAR MRS. POST: Is it in ques-

the double fold cards that have ones
name engraved on the face. to write
thank you notes? Some one gave
me these cards as a present and on
the box they are called "Informals." I"
Answer: The folded card is quite all
right in place of plain visiting card
on which you write message, but not
quite right in place Of note paper.
Personally I see little point in this
double card, because messages written
on it have neither the brevity of
visiting card nor the appearance of
a note written on note paper. You
can use them for notes If you must,
but note paper marked with your
initials or your house address without
city or state) would be in best taste.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.

"TS THERE anything" inquiries a
reader, "justifying the statement
that physicians Of medieval days hung
red drapes and curtains in rooms
housing scarlet fever victims, and that
that is how it got its name?"
Justification is relative term. It
is better to state the facts than to
pass categorical judgment, although
investigation would appear to mega
tive the proposed idea.
To start at the beginning, then, we
have scarlet from the Persian sakirlat,
a vivid red.
The sickness known as scarlet fever
is characterized, among other things,
by a scarlet rash, which would appear
to be the motivating reason for the
disease being so called.
If scarlet drapes used to be hung
in the rooms Of its sufferers, it was
q superstitious curative which was
discontinued with the advent of medi-
cine as a science. In this connec-
ton. however, curious mention should
be made of the claim by fin-de steele
students of these things that infra-
red light rays are beneficial in the
treatment of the disease.

legged cat can easily stalk his victim
and overtake 1t. When hunting. his
eyes glow with anticipation and ex-
citement.
Few animals are handsomer. The
body is about the size Of the true
leopard. The tail measures more
than one-half the length Of the body
and is ringed and tufted at the end.
The pupil of the eye is round, the
ears are small, the sense of hearing
very acute. Usually the ground color
is tawny, but it may be bright rufous
fawn. The black spots, distributed
over almost the whole animal, are
jet black except on the bun -colored
throat and chin. These spots are
round and not arranged in any set
pattern, and do not have light -colored

centers. There Is also . black stripe
running from the upper lip to the
corner Of each eye, and occasionally
you find another black strip back Of
the eye.
The hunting leopards are socially
inclined. When the banquet has been
digested, they gather about one spe-
cial trysting tree. You can locate it
by the claw marks upon the bs.rk.
The tree serves as g lookout. From it,
many innocent victims may be
watched. The habit of using a tree
as q tower has been tho means
whereby the cheetah could be cap
tured and trained to become IN ex-
pert hunter for his master. Nooses
are used to capture the treed cats.
Those who have had the oppor-
tunity to be guest Of an Indian
prince have recounted the tactics Of

drawn by two bullocks. When the de-
sired location is reached, the door Of
the cage is opened. the cheetah
springs out and takes his seat (dog-
fashion) beside his master on the
cart. The hunter wears a hood sim
liar to that Of the falcon, and not
until his master gives the word does
the now-excited cheetah move.
When unleashed, he bounds for
ward, then cautiously steals toward
the victim. The largest one is al
ways selected for attack. The dis
tance is carefully calculated before
the hunter makes the final spring.
The captured animal is thrown on its
back and held fast in the firm jaws Of
the hunter, who holds this position
until his master arrives. Then the
hood is placed over the cheetah's
eyes and the victims throat cut, the
blood caught for the hunter. who

sometimes called Partridges and the
Goshawk is sometimes called the Part

The young Grouse had never seen
Terror before, but they has seen other
members of the Hawk family and had
learned how to avoid them. They
were not especially worried now. for
although they recognized Terror as
q Hawk, and therefore an enemy. they
knew nothing about him or how very
much he was to be feared. All three

The PaPtman group stepped back to

campaign whsn the issue of finding
the needed funds was reached.
Representative Smell of New York,
the Republican leader, said he saw no

have been wiser to wait for a de-
termination of how much money
actually would be needed and what
the deficiency in available bonus funds
would be, then incorporate a request
for the money in a deficiency appro-
priation bill In the next Congress.
Borrowing Will Increase Cost.
In lieu Of new taxes. it was believed
the Treasury. for the present at least,
would borrow to meet the bonus cost.
How much would oe added to the
bonus expense because of interest
payments involved in such borrowing
was a question on which opinion was
divided.
Since no one knows how many vet
Grams will choose to cash their bonus
bonds next Summer and how many
will hold them for years to obtain
the 3 per cent interest offered, ex-
perts find it impossible to say just
how much money will be needed in
the near future.
Estimates of the eventual cost Of
the bonus range from So ,491 900 900
to something like $4,000. 100000. The
last figure was mentioned by Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma as
a possibility if the Treasury adheres
to orthodox" financing methods, as
it has indicated it will do.

er, is expected to lead a determined
fight for an in1ationary method OF
payment when Congress considers

children in the textile industry since

by Miss Katherine Lenroot of the

Testifying at hearings on the Ellen
bergen textile control act, Miss Len
root said that in North Carolina,
where about $500 children were en-
ployed in textile mills in 1880 and
none in 1884, about 80 were employed

vile cotton mills of Mooresville, N. c.
The company was named, with others,
by labor spokesmen as receiving r. F.
c. aid while workers were striking.
Labor also charged that r. F. c. had
made loans to mills which had vio-
lated codes.
