how long 1t would be before Reddy

his ears. At last he realized that
Reddy had given up. Such a relief
as that was! Then his appetite re-

His teeth clicked together as he
said this and Petey heard them. The

up on his hind feet and stretched as

Once while he was doing this Reddy

Reddy was too smart to waste his time
watching that hole when he knew that
Rabbit couldn't get out. He knew that
he could come back any time and that
little Rabbit would be right there.
So he went to look for dinner else
where. But he didn't forget that little
Rabbit. All the time he kept trying
to think Of some way of getting Petey
out of that hole-out of that hole and
into his stomach.
Petey grew hungrier and hungrier

about was something to eat. He went

Don't you think so? How would you

that all the time the enemy you feared

AS yet Petey hadn't given much
thought to the fact that he was a
prisoner down there. He was thankful
to be where Reddy Fox couldn't get
him. He was even content then to be
right where he was.
It wasn't until he began to be hungry
that he realized just what a trap he
was In. He became hungrier and

he remained at the bottom OF that
hole he would starve to death, and If
he got out he would be eaten. for
Reddy Fox was waiting for him up
there, and he knew 1t. On the whole,
he preferred to remain where he was.
This was just as well, for actually he
couldn't do anything else. He couldn't
jump out of the hole and he couldn't
climb out Of it. He couldn't do q thing

no choice in the matter.

RACE BILL OFFERED
TO RAISE REVENUE
Senator Reynolds Cites 0p.
portunity to Aid District
Taxpayers.

The opportunity to raise additional
revenue for the District government
was given today by Senator Reynolds.
Democrat, of North Carolina, as his
primary reason for introducing in the
Senate yesterday afternoon the bill to
legalize horse racing here. A similar
bill was offered in the House by Repre-
sentative Norton Of New Jersey.
Calling attention to the recent dis
cussion Of the possibility Of new taxes
being imposed on the District, Senator
Reynolds said yesterday owners feel
they are already bearing all the tax
alton that should be imposed on real
estate.
The racing bill, he contended, would
give the city three new sources Of rev.
enue, as follows: A license fee Of $4,000
a day for each day of a racing meet;
a tax of per cent of the amount bet
on the races. and IS per cent of a
tracks net revenue during racing
meet.
The bill is likely to encounter oppo-
sition in the Senate, however, similar
measure having been blocked several
years ago. The new bill was referred
to the District Committee for study.
Senator Capper of Kansas, ranking
Republican on the committee. an
nounced today he is still again the
bill. He opposed a similar measure

The plan to supplant the bipartisan
Civil Service Commission with a sin
gle administrator would tend to po-
ltical control of Federal personnel,
Charles I. Stengle, president of the
American Federation of Government
Employees, last night told War De-
partment Lodge of the federation.
Stengle based his argument on the
likelihood of change IN adminis-
tration bringing about shift in sp-
pointees.
The federation head also took issue
with the other proposal Of the Presi-
dents committee for appointment of
q non-paid board of seven members
to serve as q checking-up group in
civil service. He said it would en-
phasize the trend toward making coll
lege education a prerequisite for Fed
eral appointment, and that while
this was desirable in some cases, in
others practical experience was best.
Stengle repeated his support Of the
plan for extending civil service.

both go with me- Then he raised the
pistol and Mary screamed. She threw
up her arm and the bullet went
through it and grazed my ear. I
jumped out Of the car and ran around
to grab him. He was dragging Mary
out and I jerked the pistol away and
threw it into the yard.
Then he hit her on the head with
the hammer, but 7 dragged him of
and she got up and ran. After she was
free ran down the road for help, and
when I got back Boarman was gone I"
Boarman, 200-pound retired tele-
