Tor foolish deeds we all must payi owll find there is no other way. —Hooty the Owl RICKLY PORKY'S half-grown son proved too much of a | temptation for Hooty the Owl to resist. Hooty was hungry. He had been hungry for quite some time, for hunting had been very poor. ‘That half-grown Porcupine would make tender good eating and would be very filling, yet Hooty knew that the wise thing to do would be to leave him alone. Yes, sir, that would be the wise thing to do. But often wisdom goes out when hunger enters. What Hooty should have done was to have flown away and remained away. Instead of that, he kept coming back for another look at that young Porcupine, and every time the temptation grew stronger. When at last Hooty saw that the young Porcupine appeared to be dozing he made up his mind that he would get that fellow, no matter what happened. Now, you know, a young Porcupine 1s just as well protected by quills as an old Porcupine. The quills may not be quite as long, but they are just as sharp. This Porcupine was half- grown, and his quills were long enough to make plenty of trouble for whoever should get against them. To have seen him sitting there close to the trunk of the tree, you would have thought him the most harmless and helpless little person in all the Great World. You see, those quills, ex- cepting the short ones on his tail, didn’t show. The others were hidden in the long hair of his coat. The very fact that they were so hidden, and so out of Hooty's sight, increased the temptation for Hooty. Hooty studied the situation. There was just one approach by which he could hope to strike and clutch that young Porcupine. In every other direction there were branches in the way. Twice Hooty started to make the attempt, and twice he settled back without doing it. He would wait for the young Porcupine to move and expose himself. So he waited. He waited and waited and waited, and the temptation grew and grew and grew. At last it was to be resisted no longer. “That fellow is asleep,” muttered Hooty. “Now is my chance. Hell never know what hit him.” Hooty swooped, his legs reaching down so as to clutch that Porcupine with his great curved claws. Some- thing happened. Yes, sir, something happened. To this day Hooty hardly | knows how it did happel. Porcupines who has been at Newport for some time, is at the St. Regis in New York preparatory to sailing Saturday, Au- gust 31, for Montevideo, where she will join the Minister. Lieut. Col. W. H. Burwell of Win- sted, Conn.,, is at the Carlton for a brief stay. Former United States Ambassador to Japan Mr. Roland S.

Prederic Wenchel officiating at 4 o’clock. Mr. and Mrs. Earle Talbot of Engle- wood, N.

A recep- tion will follow the ceremony. The marriage of Miss Helen Ray, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George N. Ray, and Mr. John B. Lallande, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. T.

Berke- ley Griffith, of St. Margaret’s Church, will officiate at 3 o'ciock, and an in- formal reception will follow for those who witness the ceremony. Stories Appetite. are very slow in their movements, always excepting the way in which they can flip their tails around. That half-grown Porcupine was not asleep. His eyes may have been as dull as they looked, but they were keen enough to see Hooty. In fact, they had been watching Hooty for some time, and that was one reason why the young Porcupine had not changed his position. He knew that where he was he would be hard to get at. So now, when Hooty swooped, the young Porcupine was prepared. Biff! That rather broad tail of the Porcupine had struck the leg and thigh nearest him before Hooty had realized what was happening. A dozen HOOTY SWOOPED, HIS LEGS REACHING DOWN SO AS TO CLUTCH THAT PORCUPINE WITH HIS GREAT CURVED CLAWS. quills had been driven into that leg. They hurt. Yes, indeed, they hurt. They hurt so that Hooty quite missed the object of his swoop. He swerved to cue side and flew over to a neigh- boring tree, and there he expressed his feelings of mingled rage, disap- pointment and pain as only he can, and all the time he kept trying to pull those little spears out of his flesh. Pulling them out hurt as much as having them driven in, perhaps a little more. Hooty forgot that he was hungry. In fact, he wasn't hungry just then, He had lost his appetite. That young Porcupine had taken away Hooty's appetite, but not in the way that Hooty had hoped he would. And it didn’t help matters any to have Mrs. Hooty come along and discover his predicament. “Serves you right. You should have known better,” was all the sympathy that Hooty got from . Hooty.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. OU will find that land-locked salmon are very much like their cousins who grow up in the sea. They are smaller and more plump, not quite so silvery, and the black spots are more conspicuous. They are very vigorous and very active. They are exceptionally fine, gamy fish, even for salmon, as many anglers will gladly testify. They have larger scales and different coloratiod from their relatives of the ocean. Scientists tell us that still another difference, not so easily noticed, lies in the fact that they have hard skull ‘bones., Receiving their name from Sebago Lake, the locality in which they were first seen, this land-locked salmon has since traveled far and much. Originally it was found in four river basins in Maine, and it is also thought it re- sided in a few lakes in the British provinces. In Maine the original homes were Presumpscot River, also known as Sebago Lake basin; Union River, now known as Green Lake; Sebec Lake basin and St. Croix River basin.

TAMPA, Fla, August 24 (#).—Un- able to attend the national jamboree in Washington because of the ban placed on that gathering, several score Boy Scouts from St. Petersburg and Tampa, Fla, sailed last night for a week’s tour of Cuba snd for the Cuban Scouts’ jamboree, to be held in Havana. Children As far as the habits of the land- locked and their seafaring cousins are concerned, they are the same, with, of course, modifications necesary for their “home town.” In the Autumn, the Sebago Lake salmon go up the e tributary streams to spawn, later re- turning to deep waters of the lake. ‘The young live on the yolk sac still visible on them until they are four to six weeks old. In two months they are 1 to 1% inches long and begin to take on their spots. The jaws of the male are so curved that they meet only at the tip. The lower ong is de- veloped into a large, powerful hook, used for handling his rivals. As soon as the ice breaks up in the Spring, when gay little smelts are running up stream to spawn, the sal- mon, whose appetite for these fish is well known, follow them. Those that the Schoodic Lakes as the “Schoodic salmon,” it is known by most fisher- men as land-locked salmon. If you wish to try your luck on the salmon of Sebago Lake use a firm rod, & derrick-like reel, a phantom minnow or archer spinner. In the still waters of Songo River are foes too hardy for the land-locked salmon to combat, gamy and sportsmanlike though it may be. The up-to-date methods employed by the Bureau of Fisheries have plant- ed these fine fish {n New York and New England. g l denizen the Gulf Col.

Who Are You? The Romance of Your Name. BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS. SOME authorities maintain that this was spelled “Routtes,” a name which was commonly met with in that vicin- ity. The meaning of the name is “lowlands.” The coat of arms here shown was found on the bookplate of Philip Rootes the elder of Rosewall, his home in King and Queen County, Va. These arms do not, however, correspond to the arms assigned to the Roots in the | Heralds College in London, which are | blazoned “Or, three lozenges gules.” Philip Rootes. “gentleman,” was the earliest ancestor of the family in Vir- ginia. The first mention of his name is found in a deed dated 1729 where- in the trustees of the town of Fred- ericksburg convey to Susannah Living- ston, widow, a lot which is after her death to descend to Philip Rootes. He is also referred to in some old records as “Captain,” and was church war- den and vestryman from 1732 to 1751. In 1756, we find him called “Major” Philip Rootes. He owned estates in New Kent, Spottsylvania, Orange and Culpeper Counties, and held valuable property in Fredericks- burg, Va. He married Mildred Reade, daughter of Thomas Reade of Glou- | cester County, and reared a family of | 10 children. (Copyright 1935.)

A Federal investigation of the spread between farm prices and the prices consumers pay for foodstuffs appeared certain today. Congressional action on a resolution calling for such an inquiry was com- pleted yesterday and backers of the move predicted President Roosevelt would sign it promptly. Scope of Probe. e ‘The measure would direct the Fed- | eral Trade Commission to find out not | only why the farmer does not get a | larger part of the consumers’ dollar, but also whether middlemen are mak- ing exorbitant profits on watered stock, fostering monopolies, fixing prices and using fraudulent grading and ware- housing methods. A. A. A officials were understood to be in favor of the investigation. Re- cently a delegation of Detroit house- wives, who are striking against high meat prices, blamed the high prices on the A. A. A. adjustment program and demanded that the Farm Admin- istration take some action. Demonstrations Threatened. Just before the House approved the | resolution yesterday, Representative Dingell, Democrat, of Detroit said the demonstrations in that city could be | expected to be repeated in the next | week or so in Chicago and other cities “unless we do something to pacify those people.” The Trade Commission would be | given $150,000 for the investigation and asked to present a final report to | Congress, with recommendations for | legislation, by next July 1. | ;Two Extra Weeks Given Taxpayers To Avoid Penalties ‘Delay in Mailing Out A‘lqnlgomery Bills Re- | sults in Extension.
