THROUGH A WOMAN'S EYES
BY JEAN NEWTON

menting with explosives realizes the responsibility of life and death in his hands. But the woman in the factory who turns out by the thousands just one of the tiny parts of rifle for gets about the importance of that tiny part. Her thought is fenced in by the routine of those parts-hun- dreds of them. thousands of them, SC many per hour, so many per day. Yet one imperfect part would make a de- fective firearm and cost human life.
 A wrong word in telegram caused suicide. Every day little errors of apparently unimportant people in large organizations are costing hun dreds of thousands of dollars and the guilty people their jobs
 Frequently the importance of ones job. its connection with vital things is not apparent. As in the case of the telephone operator whose in- efficiency caused a destructive fire, it IS more often indirect. Indeed many little cogs in the big wheels of indus try are unlSnowing that they hold lives in their hands. Certainly 1t is the little cogs on which we are daily dependent for our happiness, our for tunes and our safety.

OLD MAN COYOTE REPAYs
 PETER RABBIT

Matters went from bad to worse with Peter Rabbit and Little Miss tuzzytail. Peter would have made
 So nts mind to go back to his old home in the dear old brair-patch on the Green Meadows, but he felt that he just couldn't leave little Miss Fuz- zytail. and little Miss Fuzzytail could not make up her mind to go with Peter because she felt that she just couldn't leave the Old Pasture. which had always been her home. So Peter spent his days and nights always ready to jump and run from old Jed Thumper. the gray old rabbit. who thought he owned the Old Pasture, and who had declared that he would drive Peter out.
 Now Peter had an old friend in the Old Pasture. Tommy Tit, the Chick adee. One day Tommy took it into his head to fly down to the Green Meadows. There he found every body wondering what had become of Peter Rabbit. for you know Peter had stolen away from the dear old briar-patch in the night and had told no one where he was going Now one of the first to ask Tommy Tit If he had seen Peter Rabbit was Old Man Coyote. Tommy told him where WI was oiiQ VI tiic UT SdQlul tlIHt Peter was having. Old Man Coyote asked a lot of questions about the Old Pasture and thanked Tommy very politely as Tommy flew over to the Smiling Pool to call on Grand father Frog and Jerry Muskrat.
 That night after jolly. round, red MT. Sun had gone to bed behind the Purple Hills. and the black shadows s had crept over the Green meadows, Old Man Coyote started for the Old Pasture. Now. he had never been there before, but he had asked so many questions of Tommy Tit. and he Is so smart anyway, that it didn't take him long to find his way all through the Old Pasture and to find the bullbriar castle of old Jed Thumper, the gray old rabbit. who was making life so miserable for Peter Rabbit. He wasn't at home, but Old Man Coyotes wonderful nose soon found his tracks. and he follow ed them swiftly. without making a sound. Pretty soon he came to a bramble bush, and under 1t he could see old Jed Thumper.
 For just a minute he chuckled, a noiseless chuckle, to himself. Then he opened his mouth and out came that terrible sound which had so frightened all the little people on the Green Meadows when Old Man Coyote had first come there to live.
 ''Ha. ha, ha! Ho. ho, ho. Hee, hee,

 My Dear Son-I hope this letter finds you and Dot and the boy in the best of health, which I can say of us here, thank heaven.

Little Stories For Bedtime
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Old Jed Thumper never had heard anything like that before. It frightened him so that before he thought what he was doing he had jumped out from under the bramble bush. Of course this was just what Old Man Coyote wanted. In a flash he was after him, and then began such a race as the Old Pasture never had seen before. Round and round, this way and that way, along the COW paths raced old Jed Thumper with Old Man Coyote at his heels until at last, out of breath, so tired that 1t seemed to him he couldn't run another step. frightened almost out of his senses, old Jed Thumper reached his bullbriar castle and was safe.
 Then Old Man Coyote laughed his terrible laugh once more and trotted
