I have nothing to do with size.

it may be Just the other way around.
In some bravery is born. Some acquire

in Little Joe Otter's family courage is
born You will seldom If ever find
an Otter without courage, and plenty
OF 1t.
A son of Little Joe otter was en-
gagged in his first fight. He was big
and strong. but he was young and
with little experience out In the
Great World. The meeting with this
Dog he now was fighting with was
most unexpected. The Dog had given
him no chance to retreat and thus
avoid a fight, but had attacked at
once. Now the young Otter was fight
ing for his life, and against odds, for
that Dog was bigger than he and no
coward.
Over and over they rolled In the
snow. growing, snarling, swapping,
slashing. There was no quitting on
the pant OF the young Otter. There
was no desire to quit. He was anlaZ-
ingly quick in his movements, and
he was holding his own against his
bigger and heavier foe. He was get
ting hurt more than would have been
the case had he been older and more
experienced, but there was no thought
of quitting on this account.
This was the scene that greeted the
boy who was the Dogs master. He
had been some distance away when
the fight started and he had had no
idea with whom the Dog might be
fighting. Never before had he seen an
Otter. and at first he didn't know
this sleek, long bodied, short-legged
brown fighter. He saw at once that
his Dog was the bigger Of the two
and he knew that Dog was a good
fighter, so he didn't try to interfere.
Instead he encouraged the Dog. He
had no doubt at all that the Dog

FEARFUL that she would be unable
to control herself any longer, Mimi
hurried from the room. AS the bed
room door closed behind her, Bob
took his arm from Angela's waist and
asked what had passed before his ar
rival.
Everything went off perfectly.
Bob" Angela replied. II told Mimi
that we were in love and that you
wanted a divorce. She was terribly
broken up. though she tried hard not
to show it. But let's not talk about
it here. Bob. Drive me down town
and We can talk while she's recovering
from the shock
The moment Mimi was alone she
burst into tears and, throwing
herself upon the chaise lounge,
sobbed convulsively. Thoughts tum-
bled through her mind; thoughts of
Bob before they were married, of
their honeymoon in Florida. of the
things they had planned for the fu-
ture. And thinking of their past hap
piness brought into tragic relief the
events of the last half hour. She
couldn't believe that Bob was serious;
that he was really in love with an
other woman. She couldn't believe
it-could scarcely understand the
meaning of the words that Bob was
no longer hers.
struggling to collect her thoughts she
heard the front door close and heard
Bob and Angela get into the car-the
car that Bob had given Mimi on her
birthday-and drive away.
MIMI stopped crying then and, ris-
AVA ing quickly went to Bobs desk
and wrote a note. With a greater
effort that she had ever made before
Mimi controlled her feelings. She lied,
! told Bob that she was glad he had
made his decision and that it would
be best for both of them. She told
! him that she had long since ceased
! to love him; that she appreciated all
he had done for her and how kind
he had been. that she hoped he would
be happy with Angela. Then she said
good-by and signed it Your Mimi

Mimi packed a bag, told her maid
to send the rest of her things to her

you'll be a great success. Ill send

show his sharp teeth. His eyes were
red with anger. His whole expression
seemed to say:

afraid of you. and If you interfere
you'll find out"

of the young fighting otter. He had
heard the noise of the fight and had
come to the rescue of the young Otter,
should he need rescuing. Little Joe
saw at once that, so far as that Dog
was concerned, no help was needed

Justify it; of Bobs carelessness about
his clothes, of his unkempt hair, of
his snoring And not being able to
think of any real indictment against
her husband, Mimi became more pro-
voked and wept more bitterly.
At about the same time Bob'S sec
retarv was announcing that Miss An
eeIa Putnam was waiting to see him.
And the task of escorting Miss Put
nam into Bob's Office seemed to rest
heavily upon the shoulders of his con-
scientious. efficient little secretary.
Possibly it was Angela's beauty. or
her eXtravagant clothes. or her the
etrical manner that caused Miss Per-
kins to dislike her. Or perhaps it was
the contrast in their characters; An

Late THAI afternoon Minis despair

caller. A very striking woman was
shown in by Minis maid. and with
out waiting for formal introduction
the woman announced that she was

said, and the situation is becoming

A NGELA had spoken so quickly and
so pointedly that for a moment
Mimi was too stunned to say or do

words. something changed within her.
She was not relieved. The sudden
change of status from 'One who had
not wanted" to lone who was not
wanted" did not put her at ease, but,
like a cold shower, it brought her out
of her lethargy. made her alert, and
for the first time that day soberly
thoughtful.
Today was their first wedding an
tiversary., 1t had been the signlfl-
canoe of the day that had disturbed
Mimi earlier. But now she realized
how insecure her complaints and re-
grets had been. The thought of be-
ing separated from Bob had never oc-
cured to her seriously. Like a child
she had complained and nageed. Hav-
ing everything, she had wanted more;
end never thought to appreciate and
enjoy what she had,
will you divorce him?" Angela
asked You can never be happy

FIGHTING INFANTILE PARALYSIS
The hearts Of 3oO. GOO victir

The hearts of 100000 victims were
gladdened last week by the knowledge
that five thousand communities held balls
on the birthday of President Roosevelt,
with the proceeds distributed for the
treatment of infantile paralysis cripples.
The proceeds are divided, with seventy
per cent turned over to national COM
mittee for delivery to the President who
will present it to the Georgia Warm
Springs Foundation for the continuation of
its fight against the disease.
President Roosevelt has pointed out
that one out of every three crippled chill
dren in the United States suffers as a re-
suit of an attack of infantile paralysis.
Himself a victim of the disease, it is par
ticularly fitting that the Presidents birth
day is the occasion for series of nation
wide parties to establish fund to be used
in fighting it. Largely as a result of the
contributions made by Americans through
the Presidents Birthday Ball, the battle is
being waged more efficiently than ever al
though much remains to be accomplished
While the tiny virus which causes
the disease continues to elude research
workers, the crippled children of the
country have received greatly improved
care.s8 MaRytof them have learned to walk
and to run and some, who were considered
hopeless Grjpples, have gone back to work
and to, a normal existence

FLOODING GOOD LAND

In recent address critic of the gov
ernment's land policy declared that the
dams now built or planned under the guise
of flood control will permanently flood
more good farm land than is ever covered
with water during the worst Mississippi
valley floods.
That is to say that even if the flood
control scheme should work successfully
which is doubtful, the lakes created by the
dams would destroy forever more fertile
land than it would protect from an oc-
casional flood.
When the enormous cost of these
projects is considered it must be evident
that the whole policy is rather futile and
wasteful one, as this cost not only includes
the expense of building the dams, but also
the vast sums paid out of the public
treasury for the land to be destroyed
through flooding by the artificial lakes
created
Another phase of the same wasteful
policy is seen in the great irrigation prof.
ects in the far west, where the cost of re-
claiming arid lands through irrigation
runs as high as 5000 an acre.
The logic of many government ac-
tivities is difficult to understand, except as
they afford means of squandering public
money supplied by the taxpayers-and
this seems to be the principal object our
bureaucrats in Washington have in mind.

idea that labor has right to organize
