nF COURSE, you know what V plot is. It is plan. secret plan. usually. Sometimes a plot is very, very nice, as when you plan to give someone a very pleasant surprise. But dark plot is a plan to bring trouble to someone. Reddy and Granny Fox are great plotters, and their plots are always dark. Old Man Coyote is an even greater plot ter, and his plots are just as dark. Very sly and very crafty are Reddy and Granny Fox, but just a little more sly and wee bit more crafty is Old Man Coyote. That is one reason Reddy and Granny are afraid of him.
 So when he came out and told them how foolish they were to quar- rel with Redtail the Hawk over Pe- ter Rabbit, because as long as he stayed under the big pile of brush where he was hiding he was safe, and how much better it would be if all four of them agreed upon a plan which he had and which he was sure would result in Peter being caught by one of them, they looked at him suspiciously. But Old Man Coyotes tongue is very smooth, very smooth. He said that he had a plan which would give each an equal chance to catch Peter Rabbit and which would surely give one of them a good dinner. Reddy and Granny and Redtail thought it over a little while and then they agreed. They themselves couldn't think of any way by which they could reach Peter, and they knew how very smart and crafty Old Man Coyote is.
 Old Man Coyote turned his head aside to hide a grin as he pre- pared to tell the others what his plan was. Tt is very simple" said he. There are four of us, and there is only one pile of brush. I will hide where I can watch one side; Reddy Fox will hide where he can watch another side; Granny Fox will hide where she can watch another side; and Redtail will watch from a tree on the fourth side. All we have to do is to be patient. Pe- ter will get hungry by and by.
 There is nothing to eat under that pile of brush, and after while he will just have to come out. If we all pretend that we have given up trying to catch him and start of just as if we were really going away, he will think that we really have gone. Then when he feels quite sure that the way is clear he will come out to try to get home to the Old Briar Patch. He is just as likely to come out one side as another, and so each has just as good a chance of catching him as the others I am quite willing that you shall decide between you which sides you will watch, and will take the one that is left. Now, what do you say?"

3O,O0O Ne'o Workers Drop From Sight Yearly,
 But Bureau of Missing Persons Locates Them
Amnesia, Fear, Love and Marital Difficulties
 Among Causes

New York.-"Please find my hus- band'' is an oft-repeated cry at New York's bureau of missing persons, which locates all but 1,500 of the 3O,OO0 people who disappear each year. During 1886. for instance, 28,- 900 New Workers vanished suddenly and 5000 out-of-towners were re- ported missing. Only 1,600 were still unreported by the end of the year, while 200 more were known to be deceased. Children vanish for dislike of school, fear of the truant officer, love of adventure or just because it's spring. Adults flee marital difficulties, while aged don't like to be dependent on young children.

Cuts Wire for Aid

When a lone settler or traveller in the vast, uninhabited sections of Australia is sick, lost or in any other kind of serious trouble, he is permitted to cut a telegraph wire, an act which is call for help, says Golfers Weekly. Linemen imme- diately ascertain, through electric instruments, where the cut was made, often hundreds of miles away, and set out at once with food, water and first-aid equipment.

The porcupine's quill equipment Is indeed the secret of its survival. It has no speed, no keenness of eye sight or smell, no cunning, but it does have between 10000 and 40,- 900 daggers. each more poisonous than the sting of a wasp. The point of each quill is polished and very keen. Then come the barbs, over a thousand of them, which begin to stick out when they enter warm flesh. like the barbs on fish hook

BdyCify Boys

BAY CITY. Sept. 26.-Bay Cit,
high school boys are saving the
tomato crop and it's hard 10 fig
ure which is the more pleaSed--tht
bows or the farmers.
For, after all. the boys escape
classes and make S6 or 81 day.
Tons and tons Of tomatoes would
have spoiled in the field il students
had not volunteered when the
United States Employment Service
sought their aid. Only those whose
scholastic standing Is good are al
lowed the time off and usually
they work only afternoons so not
too much time Is lost.
But some groups have been ex-
cused for entire days and &c OF
them picked Is tons of tomatoes
one day.
"Two-thirds OF those tomatoes
would have been lost otherwise"
said +. II. Saunier, govern
ment representative who adds
that the tomato crop is espe-
cially important 10 the army as
il is one Of the few vegetables
not losing any vitamin content
through canning.
These boys-aiong with a
lot OF adults--signed up for vol
unteer wartime work last spring
but we found many Of the adults
forgot about volunteering" he
continued. But not these boys.
They are willing TO head for the
fields any time the farmers call
for help.
Last weekend q canning fac
tory called for help. Tons OF
tomatoes would have spoiled.
Ten high school boys took over
. warehouse Jobs and allowed the
warehouse workers to push the
canning through"
It's not only a lot Of fun 10
work IN groups. but the boys are
well paid. Getting from s TO 10
cents per bushel for picking they
earn from S6 up for a day.

or the naval service At large.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. rs INS)
Seven weeks have passed since the
American marines invaded the
three principal Solomon Islands,
thus capturing the offensive for
the first time and closing japanese
seaways to the south.
The Importance of these south
ernmost strategic bases is attested
by the extravagant expenditure OF
life and material in the many un-
successful Japanese efforts-naval,
air and land-to recapture them.
Their loss TO the Japanese has
forced them TO re-orient their
strategy, and probably saved India
or Australia from invasion for the
time being.
The marines have consolidated
their gains to such extent that II
will require a japanese armada OF
considerable strength-te- ject
them.

Would Depiete Fleet

be forced to adopt defensive tao
Itices. AS this would leave her
with a force barely sufficient to
protect her vulnerable and tenuous
supply line between the homeland
and the Southwest Pacific. the
lever-increasing American feet and
Allied land troops would soon be
in position to start rolling the
Japanese back northward.
Because of the steadily growing
offensive power of the American
fleet in the Pacific, the Japanese
may think their chances Of success
are better now than they will be
later.
If so they will probably seek a
fight while our presently limited
forces are widely spread for the
protection of the Hawaiian Islands,
Panama Canal and Aleutians. and
before we can take any more bases
in the Southwest Pacific.
However. there are other impor-
tant considerations. AS the Japa-
nese do not know whether the
Allied plan calls for a move north
ward from the Solomons. or west
ward toward Japan from Hawaii,
they must be prepared for both,
which means concentrated fleet.
Easier for Allies
On the other hand. should Japan
be intending to ignore the Ameri-
can threat and attack either ST.
IBERIA or India, this would preclude
number of her major naval units
from a general fleet action and
seriously weaken her forces in the
Southwest Pacific, thereby making
the Allied task immeasurably
easier.
Port Moresby. the chief Allied
base north of Australia, is seri-
ously endangered by the japanese
land push in the Buna-Kokoda-
Efogi area. The loss of Port
Moresby would render extremely
difficult a counter-offensive TO
drive the Japanese from this
region. and perhaps result in the
loss of our hard won footholds in
the Solomons.
The loss Of these two bases
would give the japanese a 1000
tr1ffe battlefront or Islands north
Of Australia. Unless the Japa-
nese can capture these bases. the
Allies will continue to outflank
them on our route to the CONT
nent down under"
Therefore, not until they are de-
cisively eliminated from these and
adjacent positions will Port
Moresby and the cities and sea-
ports Of the east coast of Austria
liza be free from threatened in
vasion, or the American supply
line be sufficiently secure 10 pre-
pare for the next step on our
northerly course.
