The fox bragged to the cat that he had a hundred tricks for outwitting The cat said that he had but one trick About that time a pack of hounds burst into view and bore down in the cat and the fox. The cat employed her one trick and ran up a tree, where she sat on a limb and watched the fox work first one and then another of his hundred tricks until he had used them all: then the dogs caught him and killed him. The moral of that trick is that sometimes one trick is worth a hundred. But is the trce-climbing trick so good? It would be if only dogs were to be considered; but when hunting dogs are followed by men. as they usually are.

the cat that has taken to a tree has fallen into a certain death trap. Somehow or other the bobcat has learned that fact. He prefers to outrun the dogs, and if overtaken, to fight it out on the ground, rather than be maneuvered into climbing a tree, from which he is certain to be shot down by the hunters when they arrive. The panther, cougar, the puma, the mountain lion, as he is variously called, still foolishly clings to the one trick used by the cat in fable to get away from dogs. He climbs a tree.

Consequently, sportsmen prefer to hunt panthers to bobcats. It is no fun chasing bobcats all over the United States and rarely- catching then, So panthers are beeomin scarce, while bobcats are still plentiful, and prey heavily on our valuable game birds. Undoubtedly in days gone by the bobcat, too, climbed trees to escape wild dogs and wolves; but evidently instinct has taught him that because of the weapons used by men. he must change his tactics to protect himself. But why has not the panther learned the same lesson? The study of instinct in wild things opens an amazing field for thought and investigation.

What makes wild animals and plants do the things they do? What is the intelligence that so marvelously directs them in the innumerable ways they have of skilfully caring for themselves? Even the simple dandelion growing on the lawn will if mowed off persistently, learn to blossom close to the ground.

Here is something you've got to do, whether you like it or not. But you do a little improving? Can't you My to yourself: Perhaps I can make this day a little more productive than the others? It seems to me I slowed up a little along toward quitting last evening.

if I'd stuck on the job a little longer. have a running start this morning, instead of the headache I got by sitting around in a smoky room, and listening to a lot of fellows telling one another what they'd do if the boss would only give them the right kind of a chance. not put a little extra work into this coming eight or ten hours? why not, when I get back home do a little studying about my job before I roll in for the Everybody can do a little more than he usually does. Many persons use up too much time in sitting around. Nobody knows as much about the technicalities of his position as he ought to.

It is the application of intelligence to what you are doing. Go to the movies or a boxing match if you want to. They won do you any harm, and they may do quite a bit of good Everybody needs a change now and then.

But keep in mir.d that going to edge up a little farther to a place where you can reach a little higher up. Make up for past failures. Think about things you could do easily enough, but were too lazy to do. You can do a lot in a day, and not get the least bit tired at the end of it. Make an effort to work a little more steadily, to thick less about your troubles, and to grasp every chance to learn more and do more than you have been doing (Copyright, 1935, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Aid For Unemployed 7 he Glee Club By GEORGE ELLISTON Hulls Strong Stand Between January 3 when congress will convene, and February 29.

when the joint neutrality resolution automatically will expire, President Roosevelt may be expected to press for wider powers, which he unquestionably needs. They would have the double object of further assuring that we shall not be involved in any serious controversy with Italy and of bringing pressure, along the lines shortly to be taken by the League of Nations, to force the war in Ethiopia to a close This is the inescapable inference from the address by Secretary of State Hull, in which he shows clearly that the administration finds itself hampered by the limitation of the embargo of ammunition and implements of war. Mr. Hull points out, and the president clearly understands the danger of selling by our na- tionaL to Italy of non-cmbargoed materials that will help her prolong the war Always there is the possibility of the seizure of American goods or the sinking of American ships if a naval blockade is resorted to. The mere fact that the president had warned that anybody who did these things did so at his peril would not obvia the daneor of inflamed public sentiment here and abroad.

It is perfectly true that with the control cf the assembly passing to the the fear of a new 1 gerrymander has passed. It is also true that the vote marks a distinct I recession in the tide of New Deal I popularity. But it is a recession from not I a recession from 1932. as far as the Empire State is concerned. TV is the Roosevelt ntrength in Yotk and Pennsylvania is just about the same as it was in 1932 acc iing to the election returns.

Putting it frankly, if the election had been held for President Franklin Roosevelt would have lost Penn- tylvania by just about the same majority that he lost it by in 1932 ar. 1 would have carried New York state by approximately the same lead had in that year. For various reasons, the swing away from the New Deal is much in New England than in New York For by the same token Roosevelt would have lost all the New England states whereas he carried Mass ichu- setts and Rhode Island 1932. Also, the swing away from thi New Deal was much stronger in New Jersey and Ohio in New York. But the Empire State, with its 47 electoral votes, provides a real cause for the New Deal rejoicing whatever the Republicans may say about regaining control of the Assembly I Without those 47 votes, as was recently demonstrated in these dispatches the Republicans have very little hope of unseating Roosevelt the election next November.

At any rate that hope is rather vain as long as Roosevelt hold his own in the 1 belt. In the half score of presidential elections preceeding 1932. New York was often speken of as pivotal. Actually the situation generally was that the Democrats had to have New York to win. The Republicans could win without it The 1916 election was the exception that proved ruh But to make that exception, the Democrats had to carry every state beyond tne Mississippi except Iowa and Oregon, and they carried Ohio east of the river The election just over indicated that they would lose Ohio, by a decided margin.

But that was pretty well discounted. In tables it was demonstrated recently that Roosevelt could lose every st3te north of Ohio river and son and Dixon and east of the Mississippi, except Wisconsin, and also lose Kansas and California yet still win by a rr.irgm of three electoral But if New York is figured on the mocratic side, the picture is changed tremendously. It takes a lot ol western states to balance that 47 votes. Even Wisconsin could slip and not jar them. Or Minnesota.

These two states aie mentional because they art so vitaly interested in dairy products, and from all indications there is going to be a lot of giuel among I domestic dairy interests over the coming Canadian reciprocity uty. True the New York vote represents a falling off in New Deal strength since 19144. A switch of about 100,000 I votes, if comparison is made to the vote polled by Governor Lonman in that year. But the slipping of Deal strength wull hive to turn into a regular debacle to overcome tne majority still remaining -something like 60 000 Just one fly is in the Democratic ointment There is a suspicion that there was no real incentive to get tne upstate vote out Whereas Tammany always produces in the big city. Foe instance, in Erie county there wag a battle And that was the only place where the Republicans made a real snowing Could it be that next rthere might be ar.
