represented the greatest gains which the side of non-interventicn has made thus far.
 Members of Congress who have manifested . disposition to vote against furth9r steps toward war have been subjected to the sno8t drastic pressure by the AdmiRlfs- tration. Wendell WilllSie, too, has indicated his intention to attempt Co purge Republican Senators and Representatives who dare Co sup- port the pledge in their own party platform against entering the war. The America First Committee, therefore. now feels at Co be ite duty Co enable its members isi any state of district to Countaract these presstireS and themselves to mobilize their supporters behind those public officials who oppose further stops to involve Us h war.
 Tn carrying this fight into the primaries and general elections these who have sympathtsed with the obJectives Of the America First Committee are exercising the basic rights and duties of American cits izenship. It is a step which has been made necessary and inevib- able by the Presidents persistent efforts to deny to the American people any voice in the gravest iaSue which hes ever confronted them. This program will Do tan. dertahen in accordance with the best traditions Of American de- mocracy and with the knowledge that it will contribute to the preB- eTvation of representative govern" EleE1t and the cause Of freedom in America.

Young water fowl, even a dog SWIM
ming in the water to retrieve a
thrown stick, may be pulled under
and no swapping turtle can feast
unless its head is submerged.
AS a star boarder, the swapping
turtle gets along nicely and may
live to be very old. The safe way
to handle any member of the tribe
is to watch for an opportunity to
lift the fellow by his tail, hold the
captive a sufficient distance from
your body, and remember that this
striker can throw the head well
back over the shell and strike for
some distance in a sideWise stroke.
Early summer finds the female
leaving the water, seeking a place
several feet away TO ra cache for her
eggs. She selects damp spot, scoops
away the earth, and fashions a
comfortably sized room into which
she moves, permitting the loose soil
to cover her. Hidden from prying
eyes, she lays about "a eggs. Then
she creepS forth with her shell
reared to such a sharp degree that
the soil falls from her shell, cover
ing the eggs. The perfectly round,
white eggs, with their thin, hard
shells, are incubated by the sun.
The youngsters. upon Matching.
make a straight, swift trek for
the water. Unaided. unprotected
infants, they are ready TO snap at
any object that tries to cause them
to detour or to slow up their
journey.

By LILLIAN cox ATHEY,

Summer time and swapping
turtles, in slow-running, muddy
rivers, ponds, streams and marshes,
have a way of coming together.
This fellow is really as vicious as
he looks, and is one of the most
familiar of our North American
reptiles.
Ancient snapperS are so bloated
with fat that they cannot close their
shells and are helpless when they
are removed from the water. In this
state, we are told, swapping turtles
are just right for soup.
There does not seem to be any
trait of friendliness in the makeup
of the swapping turtle. Therefore
do not expect any mildness or eVi-
dence that you will not receive
surprise strike" from the youngest
member of the tribe to the patriach.
Swapping turtles are unusual among
the chelonians, in the fashion in
which they defend themselves. They
nave copied the idea from the
snakes, and when angered, strike"
at the objects of their disfavor. Not
only are these creatures able to
strike you a sudden and effective
blow, but they are equipped with
keen-edged, cutting mandibles and
jaws worked by powerful muscles.
A large swapping turtle could, by
one swift stroke, amputate a hand.
OF course. these reptiles have been
given this particular gift of personal
defense for their own need. In order
to catch their food, they have to be
fast workers Their hunting grounds
are where fish abound So the turtle
lies partially covered in the muddy
bottom of his favorite home waters.
There, as motionless as a rock. he
awaits the on-coming fish and other

at her as he adjusted her wrap more
closely around her shoulders.
Listen, dear" he said gently. DO
you hear what the orchestra is
playing?"
Softly the music f1oated out to
them. 1t was very quiet on the mar
row little terrace on the roof of the
soaring building, whose 60-Odd sto-
ries brought them so near the stars.
1t almost seemed they were flying

fresh wind blew in from the sea.

Mark felt the profound WEAKNESS
In her voice. Some one was singing
the song now. They followed the
words silently, lost in a world of
their own making.
Marx thought, Everything is tram

to me and let me help her make

Sandra turned abruptly to the
man beside her.
Marx" her voice was low, little
tremulous, do you believe in
ghosts?"
Ghosts Are Fears.
In the quick flare of the match
that lighted his cigarette she saw
him smile.
That depends on the kind of
ghosts you mean. My brand would

houses such a panic to the neigh

a waiter came to the door and
signaled that dinner was ready.

off uncertainty as the waiter seated
them and hurried away for their
order.
