Peter Rabbit Makes New Ac-
quaintanCes.

Peter Rabbit hadn't been able to dis
cover any signs of the coming of Mis-
tress Spring, and he was getting I'M
easy. He is like all the rest of us at
this season of the year-tired of ice and
snow and anxious for the coming OF
warm weather. So Peter was given to
wandering about rather uneasily, hop
ing and hoping that he would find
| somewhere something to make him
feel sure that Mistress Spring was on
her way.
On this particular morning he was
hopping about in the Green Forest,
hoping that there he might find some
sign that the reign of Jack Frost and
Rough Brother North Wind would soon
end. But there wasn't any that ne
could see, and he was getting wee bit
discouraged. Not only had he seen no
signs of Mistress Spring, but he had
seen no signs of anybody. There wasn't
a sound. After a while Peter actually
began to feel lonesome. He was Just
thinking about visiting the Old Orchard
or else going home to the dear Old
Brier Patch. when he caught glimpse
of some one moving in pine tree not
far distant. Instantly Peter was scam
pering in that direction. He was just
dying for some one to talk to.
Now, Peter supposed that, Of course.
it would prove to be some one of his
old friends, No other thought entered
his head. He had his mouth open to
say "Hello!" but as he got where he
could see better he closed it with
snap. Not only this, but he stopped
running. In fact. he sat up in order to
stare. He wasn't in the least polite
about it. He stared SO that his eyes
seemed to be popping right out of his
head.

rather slowly and keeping his eyes
fixed on the strangers. who were hav-
ing the. best of times among the pine
trees. to judge by the chattering going
on among themselves. They tooks no
notice of Peter. He wasn't sure
whether they didn't see him. or just
considered him a stranger in whom
they had no interest. AS he drew near

Break six eggs over the apples; season
and fry for minute; then set in the
oven for five minutes; remove and
serve on a hot dish.
To Poach an Egg Round.--First salt
the water, then stir 1t vigorously until
it moves about the pan in the form of
whirlpool: then quickly, and before
this whirlpool loses its shape, drop the
egg carefully into the very center of
it, and you will find when the egg is
cooked that it will be as round and
even as you could desire. They are de-
licfous poached in milk.
Poached Eggs in Cheese.-For six
eggs you will require six tablespoonful
of grated cheese. one cup of white
sauce and six pieces of toast Cut the
toast with a large cookie cutter. poach
the eggs. then lay them on the toast

SAYS RETIREMENT BILL
IS UNEQUAL TO SOME
C. Edgar Reed Calls Attention to
Workers Who Would Suffer
in Old Age.

Claiming that the retirement bill for
government workers which has been
introduced by Representative Harry E.
Hull of Iowa leaves out a number of
government workers who would es-
peciaIly suffer in old age and that the
retirement age in the heavier trades
years, c. Edgar Reed, secretary of the
joint retirement committee of the naval
gun factory has made a statement for
The Star covering the provisions of
the bill and criticisms of it. He says:
The bill provides for the retirement
of all employees in the classified civil
service who have reached the age of
seventy years and who have served
twenty-five years within a period of
thirty years, with a possible additional
service of I'VE years in case of special
ability and preservation of health.
1T provides for the retirement of
those sick or disabled who have served
at least ten years. irrespective of age.
and permits their Unemployment after
recovery from the disability if such
occurs
cit provides an annuity of so per cent
OF the highest annual wage received
during the last five years of employ
ment, with an additional 1 per cent for
each year of service over twenty-five
years, with a minimum of $500 and a
maximum of $3.50.
TT allows the retention of so DER
cent of an employees military pension
IN addition to the civil service pen
sion
1T is to be administered by a. nom
partisan board of civil service retire
ment commissioners of three men with
hve-year terms, one to be appointed
each alternate year."
In explaining why the bill does not
satisfy the joint retirement commit
tee, he says.
Tt does not provide for voluntary
retirement at sixty-five years, the age
at which men in the heavy trades feel
the pull of their work and long to
get away from it just before they do
oreak down After they have broken
this bill provides retirement under one

service.
