An explosion in booze graft circle is predicted for tomorrow when the special federal grand jury held over two weeks ago by Federal Judge Landis takes up the results of ths inquiry of the last month. Looming ahead of all other cases is the Mike De Pike Hiller $200,000 coupe de booze, which has involved half a hundred pjiicemcn and minor inhabitants of the booze muck. A conservative oMimalc of proba ble indictments as the results of the grand jury's work has set the num ber at between 75 and 100. While the grand jury is consider ing the indictments, federal officials plan to ask that warrants be pre pared for the entire list. These war rants will be served simultaneously. The indictments will be returned before Federal Judge Landis and the cases will be tried before him. Today saw a great scurrying to cover on the part of those implicated in whisky deals.

These petty thieves, who used to share with the pickpockets the spoils of the circus and country fair crowds, would double a strap or a length of tape and lay it on a table. A bet would be offered that no one .could tell which of the two loops or turns in the center of the spiral was the original loop that made by doubling the tape or strap. Strangely, the gambler always won. people, don't bet on othef folks games riow-a-days,. but this' explanation may warn ., someone' away from a plausible stranger, with what looks like a "surd thing." Arrange a strap a book strap or a belt will do splendidly as in the illustration. Lay the spiral on tl)e table as shown, but piake the spiral smaller and tighter Ask a friend to tell you which of the loops is the one made by the orig inal doubling of the belt. The loops look so much alike that he may pick out the wrong one. In this case, all you have' to do is to unwind the spiral andshow1 him that he. is wrong. If he puts his finger in 'the right loop, make a pretense of tightening the spiral 'nnd bring the end B around to A. Then unwind. His finger, with which he fancies he is marking the true loop, will lie, to.all appear ances, without it. If you will experiment you will find that you can grasp the strap so that the tricky part of the trick will be undetected. i Copyright, 1919, Thompson Feature Service More Truth By JAMES J.

CHAPTER XIV Was It a Gun? 1 Everybody in the village where Brownie Beaver lived was very much upset. Most people were angry, too. And no doubt it was natural that they should feel that way, because while they were taking their mid-day naps a man had come and paddled about their village in a boat. Brownie Beaver was the ffrst to hear him and he quickly spread the alarm. There was a great scurry ing as all the villagers stole out of their houses and swam away under water to hide in holes in the bank of the pound and in other places they knew. . . .... Toward night, when they all came back again, the man had gone. But Brownje and his neighbors were still angry. You must remember that their rest had been disturbed and they were feeling somewhat sleepy. So far as they could see, the man had done no damage either to their houses or to the dam. But people felt a bit uneasy just the same, untL' old Grandaddy. Beaver looked, all around and reported that the man had set no traps. You see, Grandad dy knew a great deal about traps. He had been caught in one when he was young. Luckily, he managed to get away; and he learned a few things that he never forgot. . Now, Brownie Beaver had begun to cut down a tree the night before. Something had interrupted him and he had left the tree not quite gnawed through and needing only a few more bites to bring it down. He was intending to finish his task soon after dark which was the time he liked best for working. Accordingly, after Brownie had finished his supper and had called at every house in the village to talk over the visit of the strange man, he swam to the shore of the pond and made his way to the slanting tree, which stood a short distance from the water. It was quite dark. And that was what Brownie liked, because he could work without being disturbed at least, that was v hat he, thought. Since he could see quite well in spite of the dark he ad no touble in finding his tree. And he lost no time in setting to work on it again. He began to gnaw at it once more. But he hadn't movcil more than half way around the tree-trunk when Than Poetry MONTAGUE THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 9, 1920.

And at the same time a queer click sounded in the bushes close by. Just for a moment Brownie Beaver was stiff with fear.

Brownie knew that at night a gun made a flash of light. But this gun (if it was a gun) made no roar such as was made by the guns Brownie had sometimes heard at a distance in the woods. He wished that old Grandaddy Beaver was there. For he did not doubt that the old gentleman could tell him exactly what had happened. (Copyright, Grosset & Dunlap.) WHY? Are Birds' Eggs Different Colors? Even in the course of a brieij ramble through the woods it f is sometimes possible to coihe across birds' eggs of many vary ing hues ranging from the sky blue of the robins' eggs to the white ones of owls and wood peckers. This difference in the coloring of the shells is only an other example of the principle of "protective coloration," evi dent in the ability of the chame leon to change his hue, in the speckled feathers of the grouse or partridge and in the skins of a number of types of reptiles. It1 is because of this protective, coloration that many animals and' birds are enabled to elude rheir enemies, apparently merging into' the background and becoming a part of the foilage or rocks among which they are accus tomed to live. In other words, it is nothing more than nature'S camoflage practiced in such x manner that man can only ap proximate it by artificial means. White eggs are, for the most part, laid' by hole-nesting species, of birds, like the owl and the woodpecker. Since these eggs are well hidden in their dark cavities,' it has not'been necessary for theraj to develop " the protection ol color. But the bright, greenish blue eggs of the thrush and thw lighter blue eggs of the robin must be hidden in nests which are concealed in dense vegeta tation, while the speckled eggs; of the ground-nesting swallows depend for their safety upon the fact that they merge in with the darker materials of which the nests are constructed.
