somewhat puzzled as to how he
should catch one of those hens. But
Billy wasn't puzzled. Not a bit of
it. You see, Billy can climb almost
like a squirrel. Reddy Fox would
have had to jump, and probably
would have awakened and fright
ened the whole flock. Billy Mink
simply climbed up to one Of the
roosts, stole along it to the nearest
hen, and with one quick snap of his
stout little jaws he killed that hen
without even waking her.
Now, had Billy's cousin, Shadow
the Weasel, been in his place, he
would have gone right on killing
those hens from sheer love Of kill
ing. But Billy Mink killed that hen
simply because he must have some
thing to eat, and one hen was more
than enough to furnish him a din
ner. When he had finished his dinner
he went back to his snug bed under
the big woodpile.
OF course, when the farmer came
out to feed the hens in the morning
he discovered what had happened.
He didn't know who had killed
that hen, but he knew that it must
have been some one very small to
have got into the henhouse. He hunt
ed about until he found the hole in
the dark corner. He knew that that
hole had been made by a rat, and
at first he thought it must have been
rats that killed that hen, and this
increased his anger. ~
That afternoon he happened to
look out Of the barn door toward
the woodpile and he was just in time
to see a slim, brown form whisk

Ordering From French
Menus sE. !

YOU may belong to that great
L army of people like myself who
can't make heads or tails out Of
fancy hotel menus. Words like pate
de fol gras and hors d. oevres, al
ways make me feel dumb. Even
when the waiter asks me whether
I am ordering la carte or table
d'hote, ] never knew what he was
talking about until I looked il up
recently.
Table d. hote is French phrase
literally meaning table of the host
or landlord. Up until the middle Of
the Eighteenth century, restaurants
and hotels as we know them now
did not exist in Europe. The old
inns were run on sort of a family
plan, whereby everyone sat at the
table of the host and took whatever
was put before him.
There were no menus from which
one could order la carte, which
means according to the bill Of fare.
No one could pay for each dish
separately, depending on what he
wanted, but had to pay for the whole
meal whether or not he liked all the
courses. Thus table d'hote came
to mean a complete meal served in
courses at regular hours for fixed
price.
A la carte and other such phrases
were added by chefs who wanted to
give an impressive air to their res
taurant. They can now buy books
with all the French and Italian
phrases written out, and often use
them without knowing what they
mean. But when you get in tight
spot over one of them, you can al
ways tell the waiter to Bring me an
order of bacon and eggs" They
know what that means in any lam
guage. And then, as final touch,
you might add. "Sprinkled with par
sley."

The ROYAL Game of Golf

CHARLES / of England played
~ golf near the Tower of London
while waiting for his executioner to
get his axe sharpened. Royalty and
notables of all kinds have played the
ancient game at least since l4Oc and
perhaps much earlier.
But golf has become a popular
sport only in the last 80 .-ears. The
invention of the rubber-cored ball
about 1900 is the reason for its
rise in popularity. Before that. play
ers had used little leather balls
stuffed with feathers and later the
gutta-percha ball.
Golf played with the gut ball was
no game for the ordinary dub. When
hard and well hit by the profession
al, it might possibly go 200 yards,
but the amateur was lucky if he
could get $50. Under those condi-
lions, what fun was it &c push little
white pellet around with knobbed
8 ok?
The India-rubber ball introduced
something new. The dub could get
200 yards and maybe more.
With the new ball, second and
third-rate players could score as
we'll as many professionals had be-
fore. That was what the game need
ed. The first l8-hole course in Amer
lea was not built until 1893. BY 1916.
there were 742 courses, and this
number ballooned to 1908 in 1928
and $3.50 in 1880. So now most wives
are widows on Saturday afternoons,
but it's worth it! "

RE ALL MEN REAL L J
CREATED EQUAL?

VXIHEN the writer's Of the Decla-
Wv ration Of independence stated
that ''all men are created equal"
they were not referring to intelli-
gence or other forms Of inherited
ability, but meant that all people
had the same right Of freedom, and
that the Colonists were equal in
governing ability to their British an
cestors and rulers. 1t would be ridic-
ulous to say that all people are born
with the same amount Of physical
energy, the same degree OF intelli-
gence, or the same economic and
social propensities. Some people are
born with greater equipment for
life than others, but we all have the
right to live and make use OF what
native abilities we do have-this is
the only sense in which we are all
born equal,-unless we add that the
souls of men may be equal. but
no one knows about this.

 It was understood that the Rus sians have been anxious to fly to Fairbanks for the past several days to have their plane serviced and equipped for winter flying. Bad weather halted their hop un- til today.
 The plane was originally flown from the Siberian coast to Point Barrow, soon after the disappear ance of Pilot Levanefsky and his five companions, August 18th. It has been operating out of Barrow for some time now

VladivostOk Is Darkened to Aid In Defense of City--Air

HARBOR DEFENSES HOLD
Destroyers Fail to Damage City's FOrtificatiOns-RepOrt of Change

MOSCOW, Oct. (P)-The latest edition of Khabarovsk paper, 1 received here recently, describes the combined Red army and fleet manoeuvres at Vladivostok on Sept. 27 and 28th.
 The whole city was darkened against a Blue lair attack" The report declares that mot only were Red troops participating in the defense operations but the majority of the city's inhabitants wore gas masks
 The air attack was considered by judges to have been beaten off by anti-aircraft batteries which have been brought to a state of remarkable efficiency by the Red army and navy. At the recent manoeuvres of the Baltic fleet it may be pointed out Marshal Kle- menty E. Voroshiloff, Commissar of War and Navy. expressed par ticular qualification over the anti aircraft work. A further interest ing feature of the Vladivostok manoeuvres was the attempt of the Blue deStroyers to rush the harbors defenses by surprise attack. This, it is to be remem- bered, was the opening of the Russo-Japanese war in 1904 when Japanese destroyerS succeeded in sinking the Russian Warships at Port Arthur.
 Then, as lately in China. Japan began hostilities without formal declaration of war and that the destroyer attack was the first blow.
 The Blues" were beaten off at Vladivostok but there was no mention of the Red" submarine counter action, although it is gen. orally known that the Soviet has a strong force of small submar- ines in Far Eastern waters as well as mine layers and other light Warcraft.
 Report Is Denied
 Officials here are mute about report published in New York papers two weeks ago from Jap anese sources that the Soviet ar my on the Manchurian border had been considerably reinforced and on another report published in The Times of London week ago that the headquarters of the Far Eastern army had been trans ferred from Khabarovsk to Irku- tsk in order to be in closer touch with Outer Mongolia. This cor respondent is able to say, how ever, that both are false.
 To begin with, the Far Eastern army, as repeatedly stated by the highest military leaders here, is already on a war footing and is thoroughly ready to resist any sign of aggression. Secondly, it

LAWS DO NOT
ADEQUATELY
Protect Rights of Strikers,
Judge Asserts

Kansas City (ILNS)-E Existing laws
do not adequately protect the rights
of striking workers, Circuit Judge
Emory H. Wright said here when he
issued an injunction ordering sit-down
strikers to evacuate the plant of the
Butler Manufacturing Company.
In issuing the court order Judge
Wright said the law clearly favored
the property owner as no one had a
right to seize other persons property.
However" he said, workers in
many instances are left at a disad-
vantage because of the lack of legal
machinery to appeal their cause.
Until the congress or the state
legislature establishes laws for the
workers, existing laws must be en-
forced
The strikers marched from the
plant an hour before the expiration Of
a deadline set in Judge Wright's eva
cuation order. The $50 strikers,
members of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation Of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers, had been in the plant since
March II.

RAILROADS BEHIND
I'm Maintenance of Tracks,
Union Spokesman Says

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-L. r.
Keller, representing the Brotherhood
of Maintenance of Way employees and
the Association of American Railway
Labor Executives, charged that rail-
roads have fallen behind in track
maintenance expenditures to the ex
tent of $2,425, 100000 in the last six
years.
Keller appeared before senate IN
terstate commerce subcommittee to
endorse bill designed to increase
railway track and bridge maintenance
through inspection by the interstate
commerce commission. He conten-
ded that from 1926 to 1885 railroad
accidents due to defective trackage
numbered 1858, killed lit persons,
injured 3,678 and caused property
damage amounting to $20,359,000
In that period, he said, track mil
cage in the nation has increased, while
the number of maintenance employees
has decreased about SO per cent.
Train speeds have increased to as
high as 108 miles an hour in some
cases, he said.
