tomorrow. can tell who teased me in
his face"
But the next morning a very sad
thing happened. When Mary came
to say Good Morning" to Peter, she
"a his face covered with black dirt:
and she was so -asha med that she haG
spoken Grossly 10 her own brother
that she started to run away to hide
from him. And Peter was sad too
He wanted to say: Forgive me
Mary. didn't mean to hurt YOU" So
he ran after her.
Away they sped. Mary first. her
golden hair flying in the wind. and
Peter with his blackened face run
ming after, They ran on and on until
they came 10 the place where the
earth and sky seemed TO meet. And
as there was no other place to go.
Mary ran right up into the sky. There
they raced around and around; Mary's
golden hair glowed and lit up The
earth. and the people said:
See the sun, A sun is really shin
ing!" And when Peter came along
they cried. And now that the sun
has passed here comes the moon. see
the moon going through the sky. and
look at the black spots on his face.
And so they run. even today. the
moon always following the sun. OF
running around it, but never catching
up to it: and I'm afraid he'll never
be able to catch his runaway sister.
Now, of course. Mary and Peter
aren't the children's really truly
names but when the wind wh7Epered
them to me, they were so very very
long that ! couldn't begin to write
them down for you. TO read.

wv yarn our sisters are using TO
make into warm sweaters and hoods
and sox for our soldiers. But the
queerest wool was not sheared from
a sheep. One day a man. who worked
at a great furnace where iron was
extracted from the ore and then melt
ed and moulded into blocks or pigs,
accidentally discovered the new wool.
He noticed that a stream OF water
from a hose he held made snowfiakes
when the water struck some OF the
hot Stag. Feathery bits few in all d.
rections
He told his employer all about 1t
and showed him how to water and
the hot Stag formed wool. They made
many experiments. and fashioned a
way by which the waste from the iron
furnace could be changed into wool.
But what was this mineral or Stag
wool good for? How would 1t help
American enterprises? Builders of
refrigerators line them with this queer
wool because It keeps the heat outside,
and the makers of fireless cookers use
it because it keeps the heat inside. II
is also used in walls so that persons
talking in one room cannot be heard
N the next.
Wool is also made from limestone.

HUMBLE and GRUMBLE

M UMBLE and Grumble both
1M said,
Horrid old butter and bread;
Leathery steak,
Poor-folksy cake,
Biscuits as heavy as lead.
Ugly old jackets and hats;
Miserable mattress and Stats;
Narrow old door.
Crooked old floor,
Stupid old baseballs and bats.
Suddenly up to the sky
Everything started to fly;
Up went their flags.
Boxes and bags;
humble and Grumble said, N.Y.
No place to sit or to sleep;
Nothing on which they could
weep;
Nothing to eat,
Bitter or sweet
Oh but their sorrow was deep.
Hard as their trouble may seem,
1t happened-but just in a dream !;
They opened their eyes
In happy surprise
And ate all their oatmeal and

world as they went on their travels
and that is how l came to hear II.
Did you ever know that once there

There weren't any people at all
only four or five children who used

to play with each other in the dim
gray day time. Now two of these
children were Peter and Mary. little
brother and sister. who lived happily
together all the long day. Peter would
hunt berries for his sisters dinner,
and Mary would weave a coat for
Peter out of the long grasses that
grew near their hut. So dearly did
they love each other that Mary and

For all that they had,
They never once grunrbled again

BlLBO WOULD BORROW
FOR STATE INSTITUTIONS

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. IS. CSpl)-
Favorable replies are being received by
Gov, Bilbo to his referendum letter ask
Ing members Of the new legislature to
authorize the borrowing OF about $500
900 for the maintenance of several state
Institutions until the January meeting
of the lawmaking body.
Up to date 80 members of the senate
and about 10 members of the house
have answered the governor, and all Of
their letters are Of favorable nature,
making pledges to reimburse the loan
Immediately after the January session
Convenes.
While some complaint has been made
that the governor should have set forth
In his referendum letter the specific
amounts needed by the various insti-
tutions to keep them running until Jan
uary, 1t Is evident hat this criticism
is not carrying much weight with the
lawmakers. 1t Is also significant that
many Of the favorable replies are from
anti-BilbO members Of the new law
making body, who no doubt regard the
proposed 5000, 600 loan ms far preferable
TO Il special session of the present leg
islature, which would probably last at
least two weeks and cost the state
about $4,000 per day In running ex.
penses alone.
