 The effort to s'-n, the French pur- suit by fighting rear guard actions with machine guns sections, leaving a section at intervals of about 200 yards, was only locally successful.

No one knew what to make OF Peter
Rabbit. The sulks were quite spoil
ing Peters nature. Never had he
been known to sulk like this before.
Mrs Peter actually threatened to
leave him. She said she wouldn't live
in the same Brier Patch with such a
suIky fellow His friends who hap
pened to visit the Old Brier Patch that
Afternoon made up their minds that
in the future they would keep away
from there unless Peter got over the
sulks promptly.
But Peter didn't He not only re-
mained sulky all that afternoon. but
he was still sulky the next day. The
trouble with sulkiness is that when
you once get that way 1t is very hard
to get out Of it. Just from thinking
about the same thing over and over
Peter began to imagine things. He
imagined that when his friends came
to see him they merely wanted to
laugh at him because he had been so
badly beaten in that jumping match
with Nimbleheels the Jumping Mouse
He imagined that they were talking
about him among themselves.
In this Peter was quite right. They
were talking about him. but they
were not saying the things he i'm
agined they were. They had quite
forgotten all about the jumping
match, and what they were saying
was that Peter was not at all the
kind of fellow they wanted TO have
anything to do with if this was his
real nature. and that 1t was a shame
to see such a lovable fellow as Peter
always had been spoil his own nature

TWO OFFENDING BAKERS
MUST CLOSE TWO DAYS
Morganstein and Bohnert Violated
Restrictions in Use
of Flour.

For violations of the baking regu-
lations of the food administration
two local bakers are to have their
licenses suspended for two days as
punishment.
The food administration announces
tiday that Harry Morganstein, whose
bakery is located at 613 ~. street
southwest, has been notified that he
must close his business next Friday
and Saturday. He was accused of
using less than the amount of wheat
-four substitutes required by law.
Henry Bolnert, whose bakery is at
7O3 Michigan avenue northeast. has
been notified by the administrator
that he must close his business next
Tuesday and Wednesday. Like Nor
ganstein, he was charged with not
using the required amount of sub
stitutes in baking bread.
The administration has announced
that in dealing out this light penalty
it did so because it was the first time
these bakers had been known to dis
regard the regulations. However, fu-
ture offenses, the administration de-
clared, would call for more severe
punishment.
Another baker will be punished next
week by the food administration. He
was given a hearing yesterday after
baking regulations. and as this was
not his first offense the disposition of
his case is still under advisement. His
license will be suspended, but for
what length of time has not been de.
cided upon.
