Descendants of Evangeline's (dan on Move

more than ISO years ago, roost
famed of whom was Evangeline,
these trapper* and their families
are gathered, awaiting transporta

livelihood. The circumstances, how
ever, are quite different. Iwange

brought from their iiotnes in southwest Louisiana to a 00,000-acre tract of marsh below New Orleans by a fur
ayndlcate, as trappers. Only the Intervention of a United Stales marshal and forty deputies averted a massacre
when residents of the marsh, feeling themselves cheated of a livelihood, rose up In arms against the Invnders and
protested with weapons and lire. The 'Cajuns, ns they are now called, were mobilized by marshals and gladly

8 REDDY FOX wit glaring up
at Terror the Goshawk, whose
arrival from the Far North hint
■polled Redd) 'h hunting In the
Green Forest, he grew angrier and
angrier. lie grew so angry that pres
ently he walked over until he was
almost under Terror the Goshawk,
**What right have you down here
In the Green ForestV" tie snarled.
“The same right you have, Reddy
Fox," retorted Terror.
“It's no such thing," snapped
lteddy. “You haven't the same right
here I have. You belong up In the
"HuhJ" Retorted Reddy Fox. "Talk
Is Cheap.”
Far North, while I live here all .venr
round. Why don’t you stay where
you belongT"
“Since when have you owned the
Green Forest?" replied Terror. "I
would have you know. Heddy Fox,
that I go where 1 please. I have
found very good hunting here these
last few daya, and I think 1 shall
•tay the rest of the winter. What
•re you going to do about It?”
That question was too much for
lteddy Fox. If Terror had been a
four-legged person like himself
there might have been ways to moke
things most uncomfortable for him
As It was, there wasn't n single
thing Reddy could do, and he knew
It.
“You're a great, big bully and
coward,” snarled Reddy. You know
It la an ensy mailer to call people
you hate hnd names.
Terror merely chuckled. It was a
Rateful chuckle and made Reddy
angrier than ever. "So I'm a cow
uni, am 1?” mild Terror. "Think
again, lleddy; think again. It Is
you who are a coward, not I. I
fear nothing and no one. JiiHt to
Hetlle the question I dure you lo go
up Co Farmer Brown's and steal a
chicken from his henhouse while
he Is about."
"That's a silly dare," snarled
lleddy. "You are daring me lo do
something you don’t dare do your
self. You know well enough you’ll
keep away from that henyard as
long as Farmer Ilrown Is about.’’
"Is Hint so?" snapped Terror, and
the feathers on the top of Ids head
began to rise In anger, "I never
dare anybody to do what I don't
dare do myself."
"Huh !’’ retorted lleddy Fox. "Talk
Is cheap." lie said this with an uu
pleasant sneer.
Terror's tierce eyes blazed with
rage. “I never boast," tie declared.
"I dare you to go to Farmer Brown's
henyard right now and prove who
Im the coward."
lleddy Fox couldn't very well
hack out. He tried to think of an
excuse, hut for the life of him he
couldn't. "All light," said he, "(’ll
take your dare."

SOMETIME In years to come,
when the strong sea
Of life Is threatening, with yon
afraid,
I hop® that cotirago comes with
thoughts of me.
And you recnll the hope that ever

A green place In the desert of our

We have made much of little nrul

When your own disillusionment ar

Remember love that sweetened
every day.
I wish 1 could hulld love Into n wall
So thick and high you never
would be caught
In life’s swift eddies. ... If you
hear a call
From a far place, It will express
this thought:
There was no road too difficult to

There was no tnsk too hard for

Dear Mr. Wynn:
I am a girl twenty three years old
and have lived all my life in the
country, and I have Just made up
my mind to move to the city. I am
a pretty good cook and that Is why
I urn writing to you. What I want
to know Is: Do many city people
“keep'' cooks?
Truly yours,
SIAItMA LADE.
Answer: They do not. But most
people engage another as soon as
one leaves.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
I know a man living right here
In New York who Is a millionaire,
yet he lias been wearing the same
suit for the past seven years and
looks as If he Is broke. I once
asked him why he, with all his
money, didn’t buy a new suit, and
he said everybody In New York
DAINTY DISHES
SOME time when entertaining

A WOMAN’S EYES
LIFE AFTER NINETY
AN EMINENT French inventor,
** Interviewed on his ninetieth
birthday, commented that life is
too short. Life, he felt, should he
longer. "There are so many Inter
esting things to be done,” lie said
"so much to learn."
Bon’t we find It thrilling, one of
our readers wants to know, that a
man of ninety should be so untir
ing as still tp feel that life Is too
short? Since this man Is an In
ventor, perhaps he will have an
Idea for prolonging our lives—and
wouldn’t that be great!
Sorry to be so perverse, but not
for me. Front a detached viewpoint,
going on Indefinitely after ninety
holds few charms for me.
And this nonagenarian who Is not
only willing but eager to go on rnk
ing It strikes me as rather excep
tional. It may be his luck in what
he chose ns his life-work. Invent
Ing can make the hours fly, so per- i
haps it can make ninety years seem
as nothing. More usually, men and
women who reach that age are not
‘’untired.”
As for the things to be learned
I should say that what we cannot
learu and do before we reach nine
ty, we are not very likely to learn
afterward.
If such powers are to be given to
scientists. I should say try to pro
long youth—rather than prolong
life after ninety. By youth, I do
not mean childhood, but the years
of power—power of body and mind
—power to learn and do and enjoy
To prolong that time for everybody
to beyond sixty would seem to me
more Important than to prolong
mere living to beyond a hundred. '

knew he could afford a new suit,
and as long as everybody kuew him
he couldn't see what difference It
made. Last month a friend of mine
saw him In Philadelphia (where he
doesn’t know a soul) and he had or.
the same suit. How do you flgur*
that out?
Sincerely,
IZZIE X. ENTRICK.
Answer: He said everybodj know?
him In New Y"ork and they
know he can afford better clothes,
so It doesn’t make any difference
how he dresses. He probably fig
ures that when he Is In Philadel
phia he can dress the same way
because nobody knows him, so It
doesn’t make any difference how he
dresses.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
It Isn’t that I am opposed to a
person playing cards for money, but
I would like you to settle an argu
ment between my wife and me. The
question Is. “Can an honest mar
play poker?"
Sincerely,
JACK O’DIAMONDS.
Answer: Of coarse he can, bat
he w'on't win.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
I saw a man with both his hand*
bandaged and I asked him how it
happened. He didn’t answer me. 1
later found out the reason he didn’t
answer me was because he was deaf
and dumb. I also heard his hands
were bandaged because every Joint
in his fingers is broken. How do
you account for an accident like
that?
Sincerely,
DINAH MITE.
Answer: He is deaf and dumb,
the Joints of his fingers are broken;
very simple: he most likely broke
them by cracking Jokes on his
fingers.

All Happy There
Learning How to Spend
Mussolini has found the opportu
nity to show the world what It
means when
modern “Rome"
starts moving.
He has mobil
ized an army
with air planes
to supplement
tanks and artil
lery, and the
Emperor of
Abyssinia, Haile
Selassie, must
discipline his
unruly chiefs
that have of
fended Mussolini
by an attack on
Arthur Brisbane African c0l0nies.
or so much the worse for Ethiopian
Selassie, who, believes that he Is
the direct descendant of King Solo
mon and the Queen of Sheba.
Maybe he Is, but he will encoun
ter a problem that King Solomon’s
wisdom could not solve for him
when he meets Mussolini’s air
planes.
If wise, Selassie will pay the In
demnity that Mussolini demands.
As a practical business man, Mus
solini always asks a little soothing
cash. He got some from Greece.
Also, Selassie must salute the Ital
ian flag, which costs nothing. Mex
ico would not do that.
One question may surprise you
concerning Supreme court decisions
setting aside laws passed by the
congress and signed by the Presi
dent, on the ground that congress,
in passing the law, had exceeded its
constitutional authority. This is
the question: Are those Supreme
court decisions In themselves un
constitutional?
When the Supreme court, some
times by a narrow margain of live
to four, declares a law unconstitu
tional and void, Is It exceeding Its
constitutional authority?
Where In the Constitution of the
United States do you find authority
for the Supreme court power to
overrule congress and the President
In the making of laws? This ab
sence of authority is no accident.
Those that wrote the Constitution,
after long arguing, disputing and
many concessions, knew, presum
ably, what they wanted the Consti
tution to say. And they did not
want it to give the Supreme court
the power to veto laws, that it now
assumes and exercises.
In London, John Puckering, fifty
eight, apparently dead, was revived
after five minutes. Meanwhile, lie
had gone to heaven. He saw In

of them. Souls, evidently, travel
more rapidly than light, which
takes 000,000,000 years to get out
side of the universe ns we know
it, going 180,000 miles a second. Mr.
Pickering says heaven is filled with
a "happy crowd.”
There were no children. "All
were dressed ns on earth.”
No moths In heaven, of course;
no depression, either.
Mayor LaGuardla, consulting with
President Roosevelt about loans for
New York city Improvements, again
proves that we have at last learned
to spend money. Something over
$1,100,000,000 would be the prelim
