CEVEIt In his life had iteddy Fox felt more uncomfortable than lie did ns he stole up through the Old Orchard toward Farmer Brown's henyard In broad daylight. Terror the CJoshawk had dared him to visit the henyard and steal a hen while Farmer Brown was about. All the way there Iteddy hoped that Farmer Brown would not he ubout. He hoped thnt no one would be nhout. lie wished with nil his heart that he hnd kept his tongue still Before Farmer Brown Could Move He Wac in the Air Again Carry ing Away That Fat Hen. when he had met Terror, and so have avoided this unpleasant scrape. The truth is, Reddy didn’t dare visit that henyard when Farmer Brown or Farmer Brown’s Roy was about. He knew that he wouldn’t dare go beyond the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard If he should tlnd that anyone w as near that henyard. So he hoped and hoped that when he got there the way would be clear, for he knew that Terror the Goshawk was sit ting In the top of a tall tree where ] he could watch all that went on. When Reddy reached the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard and peeped over, his heart sank, for Farmer Rrowu himself was In the henyard feeding the hens. Reddy stopped right where he was. Nothing could have In duced him to go a stt? nenrer. "Anyway," muttered Reddy to him self, “Terror won’t dare go any nearer, and so we'll he even. No one would dare visit that henyard and steal a hen right under Farmer Brown's nose. No one Is hold enough to do a thing like that." Reddy looked buck to where Ter ror the Goshawk was sitting. Sud denly Terror spread his great wings and shot out from that tree straight toward Reddy. Reddy could not but admire the speed with which he Hew. Straight over the Old Orchard lie came, und swooping down Just above Reddy's head, he cried, "Coward I” and then shot up into the air and over Farmer Brown's hen.yard. There lie made a little circle and then shot down tike a thunderbolt, seizing a hen In his great claws only a few feet from where Fnriner Brown was stnnd lng. Before Farmer Brown could move he was In the air again car rying away that fat hen. Farmer Brown yelled. All the hens screamed and raced for the hen house. Terror paid no attention either' to Farmer Brown or the frightened hens. Once more he flew low Just over Reddy’s head and once more cried. “Coward!” then swiftly disappeared over In the Green Forest. He had made good his dare. As for Reddy Fox, he sneaked away toward the Old Pasture. In his heart he admired the boldness of Terror the Goshawk, but he hated him more than ever, and that hate grew ns he thought of the tine breakfast Terror was enjoying while he himself could And nothing to put In his empty stomach. ©.

Question box by ED WYNN, The Perfect Fool Dvar Mr. Wynn: I bought a home tn the country from a real estate agent who told me It was a two-story house with modern Improvements. \Wien I went to see It I discovered it didn't have any Improvements and there was no second floor at all. What did the agent mean when he said It was a two-story house? Truly yours, IMA SAP. Answer: The agent was right In telling you It was a two story house. As you say all the rooms were on the ground floor, that Is one story, and there aren’t any Improvements in the house, that’s the other story. Dear Mr. Wynn: 1 read In the papers today about a man who was crazy about golf. While he was playing a game with Ids wife she talked all the time, which Interfered with his game. It seems Ids hall landed In a bunker and he had a very difficult shot. Ills wife kept talking to him. H£ could not' stand it any longer. As she was In the hunker with him he turned and hit her with the driv ing iron. He was arrested and sent to Jull for six months. Ho you think ! that Is right? , Yours truly, IMA PUTTER, Answer: It seems to me the rea son he got six months was not be cause he hit his wife, but, he hit his wife In a “bunker” with a "driv ing Iron." There's the whole story In a nutshell. He used the wrong club. Dear Mr. Wynn: I am a man of forty years of age. 1 met a woman my own age at a party last week. 1 took her home and on the way I told her that her teeth were like "stars." I have called her up on the telephone, but she won’t talk to me. What do you think Is wrong? Truly yours, HEYM SINGLE. Answer: You probably hit the nail on the head. You said her teeth were Just like “stars" and she thinks you said that because they come out every nfght. i Dear Mr. Wynn: Can you give me an example that will fully describe what Is meant by the saying: “There are two sides to every question?" Yours truly, E. MULSION. Answer: Sure I can. Say two « •> MOTHER’S * COOK BOOK TASTY FOODS A GOOD baked ham that la rich in color, Juicy and tender, is a main dish which is extremely popular.

However, fear of the dentist Is well nigh universal and according to Maynard K. nine. In the Modern Psychologist, It comes chiefly from parents telling children of their own painful experience In the den list's chnlr and because the patient never knows just when the dentist is going to Jab his instruments Into some unexpected nerve center. This I fear of the unexpected pain doubles | the pain. girls are discussing matrimony, two sides to that subject would be as follows: One girl could say: "I do not Intend getting married till I am thirty years old," and the other girl could say: “1 do not intend being thirty years old till I get married.” Dear Mr, Wynn: I am opening a clothing store and have been advised to take out some fire Insurance.

Valley Forge Valley Forge received Its name from Valley Forge Creek, and the creek received its name from the Mount Joy Iron Works, which were built on the stream, 19 miles north west of Philadelphia. The foundry was known locally as “the valley forge” and In time the stream was called that, too. The site of the camp is now a state park.

Absolute Zero The Supreme court upholds the President and congress in their leg Arthur Brintmiie isiative and ex ecutive action outlawing gold as money in the United States and invalidating “gold clauses” in private con tracts. The Supreme court’s decision is nil the more Important and gratifying, be cause every American knows that no consid eration outside the letter of the Constitution could have Influenced Chief Justice Hughes or his associates. The Supreme court decision dis poses of the statement that Presi dent Roosevelt’s administration has been proceeding “regardless of the Constitution.” The decision will be reassuring to business and the pub lic generally. From every point of view the be heading of women by Mr. Hitler’s government seems to have been a painfully disgusting performance. The women’s hands were bound with steel chains—in fear, per haps, that they might bite through strings or straps. The ngile heads man, in full dress, cut off both heads in six minutes. The women were beheaded out of doors in the night, Just before dawn, with flood lights for the headsman’s work. Witnesses of the killings praise the composure of the two women. Each walked to her death erect, wrists chained behind her, showing no sign of fear. An eyewitness said: “They set a good example to our men, whom we usually have to drag to the scaffold." You have read about "war with germs” in the next great outburst. India proves that it could be done. At Allpore two are condemned to death, convicted of “germ mur der.” As rich Amarendra Nath I*an dey walked along the street he felt a sharp stab. He cried out. A germ poisoner had injected plague germs into his blood. Amarendra died. His murderers were his step brother and ids doctor. Two other doctors, accused, were acquitted. A well-organized germ war could be disagreeable, distributing dis ease germs above great cities and In reservoirs from planes. At Leyden, in Holland, scientists have produced a degree of cold said to approach within one live-thou sandth of a degree of absolute zero. A gigantic electromagnet, in combination with liquid helium, produces the lowest temperature ever known on earth. The lowest possible degree of cold, the absolute zero, would be minus 273 degrees centigrade, or minus 459.0 Fahrenheit. At least science thinks so. It used to call the atom “smallest fragment of matter.” Science needs “absolute zero” to help in tearing apart the atom, now known to be a miniature solar sys tem. Doctor Steinach of Vienna, whose business has been transplanting glands of lower animals to the bod ies of men, to prolong youth and ex tend the years of possible parent age, announces now a “chemical substance” that makes transplant ing glands unnecessary. The chemi cal. called progynon, possibly a compound of “progeny,” is avail able for men or women. Ilenr.v Ford views money philo sophically as merely an abstract “indefinite, incoherent homogene ity." as Herbert Spencer might have called it. Mr. Cameron, broad casting. mentioned casually the fact that Mr. Ford in one year lost S6S. 000.000. When this writer asked Henry Ford what was the most money he had lost in any year while “changing type" and reorganizing, he replied; “I didn't lose any money. I only distributed some money.” It has been customary at execu tions in New Jersey state prison to admit relatives of a murdered man. tlint they may witness the killing of the murderer; very considerate, if relatives of one murdered really .le sire to see the murderer ns he sits In thp chair, straining against the straps and frothing behind the mask.
