Bedtime Stories
Paddy Watches Instead of Working
By Thornton w. Burgess
Who does not learn from day to dav
WW not get for along hfe's 1ooy.
Paddy the Beaver.

raddy the Beaver wasted very lit
tle time talking with Honker the
loose after welcoming him and h;s
nock TO the pond. You know Honker
brought the news that Jack Frost was
not Tar behind him, and Paddy felt
that no time was to be wasted if he
would have plenty of food for the
wlnter' once his pond should be
gathering of food. So, while Honker
and his flock eagerly searched for tha
corn Farmer Browns boy had left for
the Quacks, not knowing that thew
mad that very morning started for tho
Sunny South, Paddy worked with all
his strength cutting food-logs Of
aspen and poplar and taking them
out to his food pile in the deem
water near his house.
AS they fed the Geese kept I'M q
constant gabbling. This made PADDY
nervous. II wish they wouldn't talk
SO, so much" he muttercd as he worked.
Ihey are bound to be heard, and in
no time at all everybody in the Green
course, l am delighted to have them
here, but just the same l wish thev
would stop talking. l am afraid there
Will be lot Of visitors tonight. visi
tors who will not be at all Welcome
They will interfere with nay work and
l need every minute"
Now, though he had so much to do
and was working with might and
main, Paddy didn't once forget to
watch out. That was something he
learned when he was very small
Every day since he had added a lit
!le to his knowledge just by watch
ing out, and none knew better than
ness might cost him his life.
So while Honker and his flock at.
and gabbled noisily Paddy worked,
and all the time he kept his ears wide
open and he kept his nose working
and he watched out with his eyes.
But it was on his ears and his nose
that ne depended most, for his eyes
are not keen. Jolly, round, red Mr..
Sun went to bed behind The Purple
Hills and the Black Shadows crept all
through the Green Forest. The Geese.
very tired from their long flight that
day, and feeling safe in Paddy's pond.
went to sleep with the coming of the
Black Shadows. Paddy noticed with
relief that they were far enough out
in the pond to be safe from enemies
prowling along the shore. But Paddy
didn't sleep. No, indeed! Paddy kent
right on working. In fact, he worked
harder than ever.
Presently, as he was cuttine an
aspen log, his ever-busy nose caught
just the faintest of odors. PADDY
stopped and smelled very carefully.

Academy Doctors
Suggest Cheaper
Beds in Hospitals
Expansion of Facilities Also
Asked in Report Criticiz.
ing Institutions for Lack
of Business-Like Methods

A summary OF years study of the
hospitals Of New York, made by the
public health committee of the Acad-
emy Of Medicine and read last night
at meeting of the academy, shows
that the hospitals are spending $685.
100000 year for maintenance, an ap-
preciable part of which sum might be
saved, it is asserted, through the ap-
plication of cooperative and business
like methods.
The report was presented by E. H.
Lewlnskl-Corwln, executive secretary
of the committee. 1t set forth these
recommendations for hospital better
ment:
More inexpensive private and semi
private beds for people of moderate
means; expansion of facilities for the
care OF convalescent and chronic dis
ease cases; more funds for general
maintenance purposes and for tho en-
ployment of larger nursing and other
professional staffs, also for the ex-
tension of laboratory and X-ray facili-
ties; reorganization of training
scnools to attract more pupils; greater
utilizatlon of hospitals for medical
research and teaching; admission of
a larger number of physicians to hos
pltal practice Cat present only about
40 per cent of the physicians of the
city are associated with hospitals) ::
a more uniform method Of statistical
and financial accounting, and estab-
lishment of central hospital bu-
reau to act as an exchange of eX
periences and storehouse Of informa-
tion. :"
The average utilization of available
bed capacity in the hospitals does not
exceed 70 per cent, the report revealed
me $4,000 beds in the city were said
to be sufficient to meet present do
mands.
The meeting was attended by about
300 persons, including several city and
former city officials, among them Com
missioner of Welfare Coler and for
mer Health Commissioners Amster,

| According to the policeman, Hasper
said he was shot by his wife while he
slept. The woman denied the charge
and said that her husband, after a
quarrel, drew the revolver from under
his pillow and fired at hcr Then, she
said, he turned the revolver on him
self AS she ran from the room she
heard the report of the second shot.
Further questioning of Haspcr was i'm
possible because of his condition. Or.
Jedlicka took the couple to bellevue,
where Hasper died.
Mrs. Hasper told the police that she
had been married to Haspcr about six
years and that they had four-ycar old
child, who is at boarding school in

My plans cali for making it modern.
There will be apartments for families,
