run right into my mouth.
 It was because of these thoughts that Old Man Coyote lay chuckling that wicked chuckle, and every time he peeped out and saw Redtail the Hawk sitting perfectly still on a branch of a tree on the other side of the pile of brush he wanted to laugh right out. He didn't even mind the screaming of Blacky the Crow, who had seen what was go- ing on and was so excited that he couldn't keep his tongue still. His cousin, Sammy Jay, had heard him and had come hurrying on. Between them they were making a great racket, as they always do when they see Old Man Coyote or Reddy or Granny Fox or Redtail the Hawk. But this time Old Man Coyote didn't care, because he knew that as long as they made such a fuss Peter Rabbit would stay where he was, and that was just what he wanted so long as daylight lasted. When night came Blacky and Sammy would fly away. So Old Man Coyote only chuckled at the fuss they made, though Redtail snapped his bill at them and Reddy and Granny Fox glared at them angrily.

HUMAN, China. The new spirit of patriotism infusing China has taken possession of girls as well as boys. From schools all over the nation young ladies are enlisting voluntari- ly. Latest reports indicate there are some 10000 high school girls concentrated somewhere in Human province. These pictures show their advance training before they are placed in actual service.
 The girls are treated like boys and many of them learn to use small and heavy arms. Their main work, however, is to help refugees during evacuations, first aid and similar special work. The first con- tingent was placed in the field late in February, and new contingents are being released for duty each ensuing month.

DeUa RObbia Tradition
 Finds Modern Outlet
 In Home Decoration
By BETTY WELLS

TEN years before Columbus dis
 A covered America an old man died in Florence, Italy. And because that man founded an atelier that lasted over 150 years and because he liked to decorate his plaques with garlands of fruit, smart ladies to- day are using his motif in all sorts of gay ways to make their homes more attractive. His name? Luca Della Robbia.
 The name itself, we think, is one of the loveliest in the whole history of decoration. Just saying it, hav- ing it drip from your tongue, is delight. And we've seen it's mark in many beautiful home. You see, old Luca Della Robbia liked to work in terra cotta, and he liked to color his work, using an out-moded proc ess by which certain chemicals re- produced lovely tones. He liked fruit, too, and used lemons, apples, oranges and fir cones profusely in decorating his work. In fact, it is his use of fruit in decoration that we copy most today.
 The Della Robbia influence can be used to best effect in the more formal rooms in which rich colors and heavy furniture hold the cen ter of the stage. One lady whose living room inclines to this formal note, likes to have Della Robbia motif enshrined in bouquet on a lovely old table. She uses fruit with flowers and leaves to achieve this. Large pansies, leaves of house plants, roses, an apple and some grapes form one charming arrange ment. The single petal type of dahlia fits in to the general scheme well, too.

 caught Peter yet he didn't belong to any of them. He pointed out how foolish it was to quarrel and how much better it would be to agree on some plan by which at least one of them could be sure of Peter. Then he told of his plan, which was that each from hiding place should watch one side of the pile of brush. When he thought the way was clear Peter would come out to get some thing to eat. He was just as likely to come out on one side as another. and so each had an equal chance with the others.
 Now, this seemed perfectly fair and the others agreed. Old Man Coyote allowed the others to choose where they would watch, and he took the side that was left after they had chosen. Redtail the Hawk chose the side nearest the Green Meadows and the dear Old Briar Patch and smiled selfish smile.
 Peter will be sure to come out this side, because it is nearest to the dear Old Briar Patch" thought he. After all had chosen they pre- tended to go away so as to fool Peter Rabbit, and then they stole back and hid, each on one side of the old brush pile.
 Now, Old Man Coyote is very, very sly and crafty, more sly and crafty than even old Granny Fox. That was why he lay chuckling to himself. He was chuckling because the others were so sure that they had an equal chance with him to catch Peter Rabbit. The plan did look perfectly fair, but it wasn't quite so fair as it looked.
 Peter is badly frightened" thought Old Man Coyote, "and he won't come out until after dark. Redtail the Hawk cannot see in the dark, so when the black shadows begin to creep through the Green Forest, Redtail will give up and go home to sleep. I will make a little noise on this side so that Peter will be afraid to come out here, and then I will softly steal around to the side where Redtail has been watching and Peter will be almost sure to

Barratry in Shipping

Barratry in shipping and naviga- tion includes every wrongful act committed by the master or crew to the prejudice of the shipowner. The master must have deliberate ly violated his duty to his employer and acted against his better judg- ment, says Tit-Bits Magazine. Dev- iating from the ships course to engage in smuggling is barratry. No act of negligence, inadvertence, or mistake amounts to barratry.
