catch him for dinner. But, having
a good opinion of himself, he didn't
let this worry him at all.
Neither of those Foxes is going
to catch me-" he would say to him
self when sometimes he would catch
a glimpse Of them in the distance
mo, sir, neither of those Foxes will
ever catch me. They may be smart,
but they are not smart enough for
that. I guess they know it, too. Any
way they haven't bothered me much"
Now, the Chuck really was smart
Chuck. Had he not been he wouldn't
have lived to grow up and be so big.
A Chuck has to be reasonably smart
to live to grow up, for always while
they are small Chucks have many
enemies. This bachelor Chuck had
dug himself a fine home. At least,
it was a fine home from a Wood
chuck's point of view He had chosen
the location we'll. There was plenty
OF grass and clover and some other
plants growing all about. He had no
need to go very far from his own
doorstep to get all he needed to eat.
The entrance to that home was be-
tween some roots of a tree growing
near. This was important. Yes, in
deed, this was important 1t was
proof that that Chuck really was
smart. Those roots made it impos-
sible for any one to dig that hole any
larger. That entrance was just big
enough for the Chuck to pass through
easily, but it wasn't big enough for
q Fox to enter.
Now, all of this Reddy Fox had
long ago discovered. He knew all
about that Chuck and knew all about
his ways. 1t would have surprised
that Chuck to learn how much
Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy really
knew about him. They knew Just
what his daily habits were. They
knew at what time in the morning
he came out and at what time in
the late afternoon he went in. They
knew just how far he was in the habit
of wandering in search of food. They
knew to just what degree he was
watchful. They knew to just what
degree he was careless. The result
was that they seldom came his way.
That was because they usually hunted
alone, and they knew that there was
small chance, indeed, for a Fox hunt
ing alone to catch that Chuck. Hunt
ing him would be just waste of time.
So, you see, it wasn't just the smart
ness Of the Chuck that had kept him
safe all this time. It was partly the
smartness of Reddy and Mrs. Reddy.
They were too smart to waste time.
But the Chuck took to himself all
the credit, and in doing this he wasn't
smart. You know, when people have
too good an opinion of themselves
they very often become careless. This
Is just what happened with the lone
Chuck. He became so used to being
left alone by those Foxes that he sell
dom gave them thought. He came
and went about as he pleased.
Now there was one thing that that

While Mr.. Schenken's two-diamond
overcall might ordinarily have de-
tered the opponents from contracting
for a slam, on this particular hand
it proved of great assistance to them.
After the two-diamond overcall Mr..
Hutzler was able to cue-bid in that
suit. thereby showing not only that
he had no losing diamonds. but also
that he was very much interested in
a slam.
Mrs Black thereupon made her nat
ural response of four clubs, which
showed the ace of that suite, and Mr..
Hutzler then made the somewhat dar-
ing rebid of five hearts inasmuch as
he had already invited a slam,
whereupon Mrs. Black unhesitatingly
contracted for the grand slam.
There was nothing to the play of
the hand. Mr.. Hutzler discarded his
losing club on the ace of diamonds
and claimed the grand slam.

Bedtime Stories
The Bachelor Chuck.

Chuck didn't know, and this was that
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy had the larg-
est family they ever had had. Per-
haps it wouldn't have made any diff
ference If he had known it. He prob
ably wouldn't have given it thought.
He probably would not have realized
that the bigger the family the more
food they require. Such was the case,
however, and Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
were having hard time to keep eight
little stomachs of eight growing little
Foxes filled. So it came about that
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy began to take
a real interest in that lone Chuck.

NEW TYPE OF GAS
Astronomical Expedition n

Ey the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, July 4-Scientists
say it is possible 9 new type Of gas
may be discovered from a study of the
infra-red spectrum Of the corona.
DR.. Kelvin Burns and DR.. Heber D.
Curtis of the Allegheny Observatory
made in 1925 what many believed were
the first pictures in the hitsory Of
astronomy of the strong lines" Of
the corona, and measured the wave
lengths Of the gas surrounding the
sun.
The British Royal Astronomical Ex-
pedition reported at Moscow today
preliminary study confirmed existence
Of the strong lines.
DR.. Burns said:
"It Is gratifying. It Is now my hope
that when the British astronomers
make their measurement Of their
plates. they will be able to prove ali
of our contentious conclusively."
The corona Is described as sn ir-
regular SdScOuS CIlfclOpC WIuCIl SUI
rounds the sun. It can be seen and
studied or,y during the total eclipse.
The Pittsburgh scientists made their
pictures at Yale Observatory.
They used . camera equipped with
prisms subsequently allowing for q
spectroscopic picture.
Through scientific measurements,
the scientists photograph gases
through prisms in the camera and
are able to identify the gas in question.
DR.. Burns said further work may
be necessary TO determine the nature
of the gaseous substances around the
sun.
It Is contended that when the SCI
entists are able to translate the wave
lengths into the known elements that
make up the gas, new gas may be
discovered. The theory is that 1t
then would be possible for chemists
to mix q similar gas on the earth.

VICTORIA, Tex. July 4.-Rescue
parties hurried through the Guada-
lupe flood area today, clearing ma
rooned refugees in a desperate race
against the rain-glutted river, rolling
its menacing load toward the gulf.
The death list stood at 26 as high
water spread for miles over the low
lying coastal plain, piling up inesti-
mable crop damage. The flood crest,
definitely past important farming
towns, moved onward to San Antonio
Bay.
The river was falling rapidly up
stream at Gonzales and Cuero, and
the stage was diminishing more grad
ually at Victoria, where it reached o
peak Of 31.3 feet yesterday.
10000 Farm Acres Ruined.
Gonzales reported 10000 acres of
cotton and corn ruined and County
commissioners said 1t would be nee
essary to rebuild more than 1000
miles of roadways.
To the south. Dewitt and Victoria
Counties found crop, highway and
railroad damage mounting into mil
lions Of dollars-juSt how much, II
was impossible to estimate.
The little village Of Leesville, hard
est hit of all by the high water. was
being rehabilitated with the aid Of
100 w. P. A. workers, the Red Gross
and other relief agencies. The COM
munity of $50 inhabitants was cut
off for two days from outside COM
munication before its plight became
known.
Blocked From Rail Service.
Victoria was blocked from railroad
service today and only two highways
Leading to Port Lavaca and Hous-
ton-were open. Highway trafiic was
closed between Port Iavaca and the
Rio Grande Valley.
Scattered showers still were soak
ing the watershed of streams feeding

Warnings were scattered by plane,
telephone, boat and messenger to
evacuate the coastal plains below
Victoria.
1t was estimated that 100000
damage had been done to homes
there, and the crop loss would amount
to another $1,000,00o. The Red Cross
unit here was feeding and sheltering
more than 500 refugees.

For America faces a close race
for the presidency with the result
apparently a toss up. Because OF
this situation it Is more important
now than at any time in the last
four years for every American to
understand the issues of the cam
paign and the position Of the can
didates on those issues.
What shall we do?
Let us accept only facts--disre-
garding any efforts to becloud the
issues with a flood of words. Let us
turn the full force of public scorn
upon him who INDUCES in mud
singing. Let us beware of political
tricks to arouse class consciousness
or appeal to minorities.
Simple rules-but important. II
we follow them we can cut through
pretense to the real issues. Then
and only then can we appraise the
candidates upon whom we are be-
ing asked to vote.
Only when there Is an informed
lectorate-unswayed by sentiment
or by honeyed words-can we reap
the fullest benefits from the Dem
ocracy under which we live. Your
vote is just exactly as important as
the vote Of anybody else in this
country. Treasure that privilege. Do
your own NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
