Friends Of Senator Joseph T.
Robinson, the choice" Of Con-
gress for appointment to the SUI
preme Court, today halted circula-
ton Of o round-robin In his behalf.
They feared it might jeopardize
his chances Of gaining the judicial
robes.
The original plan was to have
virtually all Senators and several
hundred Representatives, Demo
Gratis and Republicans, sign q
round-robin, indorsing the Demo
cratic leader Of the Senate for
appointment to the post to be
vacated BY Associate Justice Willis
Van Devanter June 2. His friends
now feel such action might be
interpreted as an effort Of Con-
greSs to dictate to the President.

On the other hand, they argued
his long party service in Congress
and his able leadership in the
Senate since March 4, 1888, juSti-
fled his appointment.
AL activity on the Presidents
Supreme Court enlargement bill
was postponed pending the Presi-
dents decision on Robinson. 1t
was generally accepted in con-
.greSSional circles that If the PreSi-
dent decides to name Robinson,
he will announce the appointment

White House on that date, it will
be assumed generally the Presi-
dent has decided to name q

+ Compromise Opposed
There was every indication that,
once the Robinson matter is
settled, the battle over the Presi.
dents court plan will 60 forward
to q decision. The President has
informed his leaders he is opposed
to any compromise, even If he is
defeated on the issue Of increasing

 He struck them, one at a time, surveying the dark inner room as best he could. It appeared at first | to be a tunnel mouth. Then weird object on a rock ledge caught his attention.
 "Unh-unh!" he grunted, in dis appointment, inspecting the find. "Aw-aw, Honey Bee, I'm afraid this place isn't what we hoped it was. Look here."
 She went over to him. There before them was the prone body of a human being; in wall niche, shrunken and apparently petrif1ed with drouth and time, but 8 'hu- man body nevertheless.
 Honey Bee, I'm faraid we have just opened a tomb. Think for a moment-this is on the southwest corner of the main cave. The mountain behind here is solid, for over a mile, maybe two miles. See? It couldn't be a stairway, or exit. I might have reasoned that out myself, before coming. I get excited too eaSlly!
 He led the way back out of the darkness, and then he saw Honey Bees face. It was study in dis appointment. Instantly Bob was contrite. He had injured her feel ings, when she had tried Loyalty to aid the expedition.
 He put his arms around her shoulders and patted her. The Indians are sensitive people, for all their stolidity, he told himself.
 I'm sorry, Honey Bee. didn't mean to appear ungrateful. This is important as a tomb, even if 1t isn't an entrance. You are swell, really. You've helped more than anyone else so far. Don't think I won't remember it."
 
 He moved away from her, the better to survey the walled triangle through which he had dug a hole. Heavy stones had been fitted to- gether there with remarkable skill. with no mortar but by careful chinking and placing. It made a strong wall, and deceptive one.
 Virtually all of the ancients, Bob knew, liked to keep their dead as near as possible to them, often in the very walls or floor of the home itself. In such g. place as this cliff dwelling, maybe they had just set aside this anteroom as a tomb. It would surely bear careful Investigation, photography and study. His interests as an archaeologist were aroused again. Ancients people buried all manner of things with their loved ones and their leaders. He might make extremely valuable finds inside this high cliff dwelling tomb.
 Don't feel disappointed. Honey Bee,' he begged again. "Its very important, really. We'll come back and look into 1t thoroughly"
 He walked again to the hole he had cut, and leaned for a mo- ment on the rock, there, staring into the deep darkness, speculat- ing as to the best method of pro- cedure.

In tracking a wolf back to his door,

Leaving it, his tracks are irregular
and show the householder Is out hunt

Slightly over two months after the
wedding, there will be six or seven
charming babies in the nursery. There
have been found as many as Is, as few
as three. The infants are gentle little
puppies. At birth they are blind and
almost naked. Their eyes open on the
ninth day. They whine when they are
hungry, and the mother answers them
in q soothing voice. Soon they are
gamboling about, over each other and
their parents.
As soon as they are old enough,
about 6 weeks, they are given delecta-
bic grubS and fat, drowsy insects to
eat and are taught how to turn over
| logs and rocks to uncover them.
Father brings them fresh game, such
as rabbits. chickens, birds and even a
| baby lamb when he can find one.

Wolves have learned to cooperate.
They hunt in packs and even in pairs.
Usually pack is a family party,
though it has been known to be a

The speed of the wolf is about 81
miles an hour. He is a good swimmer,
a courageous fighter and never attacks
his human brother unless badly
wounded and with reason to believe
he is the cause Of his sufferings. It
is thought that the wolf is holding

The President cabled DR.. Tugwell to
this effect.
The reply came back that this
would be impossible because a slow

other day to reach Trinidad. The
President was not discouraged, how
