Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Straight away toward the farm
where Bowser the Hound was few
Blacky the Grow. Every few min
utes he would cav encouragement
to Reddy Fox, who. as you know,
was following, but who, of course,
could not travel as fast as did
Blacky. In between times, Blacky
would chuckle to himself. He was
mighty pleased with himself, was
Blacky.
In the first place, his plan was
working beautifully. You know
what he was after was to get Reddy
Fox over to that farm where Bowser
was. He hoped that if Reddy should
catch one of those fat hens the
farmer would put BowSer on Reddy's
trail. He knew that Reddy would
probably return straight home, and
Bowser, following Reddy's trail,
would thus find his way home to
Farmer Browns. Of course, it all
depended on whether Reddy would
catch one of those fat hens and
whether Bowser would be allowed to
hunt him. Blacky had a plan for
making sure that If Reddy did get
one of those hens the folks in the
farmhouse would know it.
But what tickled Blacky most was
the knowledge that Reddy Fox
thought he was fooling Blacky. You
remember that Reddy had pre-
tended to be very weak. Blacky
knew that Reddy was nothing of
the kind. At the very first oppor-
tunity Blacky stopped in the top
of tall tree as if to rest. His real
reason for stopping was to have a
chance to look back. You see,
while he was flying, he couldn't
look behind him.
Presently, just as he expected, he
saw in the distance a little red
speck and that little red speck was
moving very fast indeed. There was
nothing weak or feeble in the way
that red speck was coming across
the snoW-covered fields. Blacky
chuckled hoarSely.
Nearer and nearer came the red
speck, and, of course, the nearer
it came the larger it grew Pres
emily it stopped moving fast. 1t
began to move slowly and stop
every once in a while as if to rest.
Blacky laughed right out. He knew
then that Reddy had discovered
him sitting in the top of that tall
tree and was once more pretending.
1t was a sort of a game, a game
that Blacky thoroughly enjoyed.
AS soon as he knew that Reddy
had discovered him. he once more
spread his black wings and started
on. The same thing happened over
again. In fact, Blacky did not fly
far this time before once more
waiting. 1t was great fun to see
Reddy suddenly pretend that he was
too weak to run. 1t was such fun
that Blacky forgot that he had had
no breakfast.
Yes, Blacky the Grow was very
much pleased with himself. 1t
looked very much as if he would
succeed in helping Bowser the
Hound. This pleased him. But it
pleased him still more to know that
he was fooling clever Reddy Fox,
while Reddy thought that he was
the one who was doing the fooling.

Adonis
Adoniis

1t will be a distinct surprise to
many readers that the commonly
heard "uh-DAHN-is -iss," the second
syllable as in Donald, is not listed
by many standard dictionaries.
In mythology, Adonis, youth of
great beauty, was loved by Aphro-
dite (AF-roe-DYE-tee), the goddess
of love. The mother of Adonis was
the beautiful Princess Smyrna, who,
before the birth of her son, was
changed by the gods into a tree,
from which Adonis came forth
Ga real chip off the old block?). In
his early youth Adonis was killed
by a boar.
In best usage the second syllable
rhymes with toe.
Correct pronunciation:

accented.)

Answer-"America" is not an

air to which it is sung is the music
of the national anthem of England:
God Save the King"
America" was written in 1882 by
the poet-clergyman Samuel Francis
Smith, and the hymn was first sung
at his church in Boston.

Ex. Senator and His Wife
Lose 100000 Tax Appeal

The former Senator from Colo
RADIO, Lawrence C. Phipps, and his
wife lost in the United States Court
of Appeals yesterday In an effort to
save paying some 1000 in Federal
taxes.
Mr. Phipps attempted to claim
deductihle loss of S23,187 on his in
come, because a home he had in
the fashionable section Of Denver
had changed to a business character
with the growth of the community
The court today. in upholding the
assessment OF the United States
Board Of Tax Appeals, which had
sustained finding by Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Guy T. Hell
vering, said that "the several nego-
tiations elaborated upon by the tax
payer show the interesting history
of trying to dispose of a fine, .arge,
old residence, but never a trans
action or a series of events that
turned the home and its surrounding
lots into a business house, before
its voluntary demolition in 1882
The opinion was written by Asso-
ciated Justices Justin Miller and
Henry H. Edgerton.
Mrs. Margaret r. Phipps, the for
mer Senator's wife. claimed exemp-
tions of taxes for $2,157 in 1898 and
$2,226 in 1884, predicated upon a
$185 900 trust.

the constitutionality Of restrictions

the constitutionality Of restrictions
upon expression"
He emphasized that California
had not legislated on contempt of
the sort alleged in these instances,
yet it would follow, as practical
result of the decisions below, that
any one who might wish to give
public expression to his views on a
pending case involving no matter
what problem of public interest
would be as effectively discouraged
as If a deliberate statutory scheme
of censorship had been adopted"
To that. however, the minority an
sWered that while we are reviewing
Judgment of the California Su-
preme Court and not an act of its
Legislature or the voice of the people
OF California formally expressed in
It's constitution, we are in fact pass
ing judgment on the power of the
State as whole"
The court minority viewed the
brloges case as an effort to
"bludgeon" the California court "by
serious threats" but the majority
said that it could not be assumed
that the judge who issued the in
junction against the c. I. 0. was
unaware of the possibility of a strike
as consequence of his decision"
The division in the court extended
only TO one Of the three editorials,
tne minority declaring that the
Times was in contempt for warning
the trial justice against granting
PROBATION to two men convicted of
assault on non-union workmen in
the course of labor troubles.
Justice Black said, however. that
IN view of the papers known mill
fancy on labor questions 1T is in
conceivable that any judge in Los
Angeles would expect anything but
adverse criticism from it in event
PROBATION were granted"
AT the last term in another nota-
ole contempt ruling the court re-
VerSed decision of many years
standing, and held that summary
punishment for contempt could only
be meted out where the offense was
committed under Federal law in
the geographical proximity of the
court.
In another decision yesterday, the
court held unanimously that lobby
ing expenditures could not be
classed as deductible expenses in
computing income tax. This ruling
upheld the action of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue in denying such
deductions to the Textile Mills Sc
curities Corp. which aided German
interest In getting back vast hold
ings seized by the Alien Property
Custodian in the first World War.
