IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNs
PUss IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Gerry

Now, let me see. think Puss caught
the giant mouse In the last story-that
Is, after the modse had eaten the Moon
Cheese, which had made him as small
as an ordinary mouse.
Don't squeak so loud" said Puss
Junior. I'm not going to hurt you.
But I'm going to give you to the giant
whose cheese and crackers you have
stolen" And Puss carried the mouse
into the dining room, where the giant
sat smoking a pipe as big as q pail,
with a stem as large as a pump handle.
"Ha, ha, have you caught the thief?'
asked the giant with grin.
Here he Is" said Puss, handing the
little mouse to the giant
What! Is this the mouse who has
been eating up my cheese by the ton 2"
asked the giant, and he looked at Puss
as much as to say, you've made a dread
full mistake
'Of course it is" replied Puss. But
before I caught him 1 gave him some
green chees from the moon, which made
him the size he now is. He was as big as
a dog"
'Ha, ha," laughed the giant again, and
this time he laughed so hard that the
chandelier shook and his grandfather's
picture almost fell off the wall.
We'll, IL be won't grow any larger,
I'll let him go, for he's SO small now he
won't eat much, and III have plenty to
spare" And then he let the little mouse
go, and away he ran as fast as he
could, and maybe he's running yet for
all 1 know
"Wen, you've done me a great favor
Sir Kitten said the giant. Now what
can l do for your"
Nothing, thank you," answered Puss
81 have my trusty sword and also some
magic charms which have been given me
by friends in Fairy Land, so / need moth
ing But may l ask you to have my
Good Gray Horse brought to me?"
And after that, when Puss was in the
saddle. he said goodby to the giant, and
rode away. and by and by, after a while
he came to big black crow that sat
upon a tree. ?uss pulled in his Gray
Horse and said:
Can you tell me, Master Crow, where
this road leads tor"
ITO the Land of Nod" said the Crow
1T climbs up yonder hill until 1t is lost
in the clouds. That is what I've been
told"
Thank you" said Puss, and then h.
rode on up the hill, for he was anxiout
to see what sort Of a place the Land Of
Nod was, for he had often heard about #
in rhyme and story
Wen, by and by, the clouds hung about
them like misty curtains, and the Good
Gray Horse could hardly keep to the
road.
Little Master, fear we have gone
too far"
"Never fear" answered Puss Junior
And just then they heard a voice sing
ing:
This is the Land Of Nod whore all
Must close their eyes when the hear

what happened after that

SATURDAY.


As Mrs. Hooper was leaving right after
brea kfast for the week end visit to her
mother, she went into the city on the
train with Henry, leaving Roger and
Helen to take care Of things until their
fathers return at one o'clock. She had
given serious consideration to the idea of
staying with her mother for week and
having a woman come in while she was
away, to do the homework and cooking
But she finally decided that this was
really not the best way to and out
whether her family were self-reliant
enough to get along alone without throw
ing the whole house into confusion. She
believed that after all the better plan
would be to go on just as usual, and find
out by observation how much truth
there was in Henry's discovery that they
were all getting hopelessly dependent on
her as the supreme solver of all their
problems.
Henry was inclined to encourage her
suggestion, to stay away If she wanted
to-and this was so unlike him that Ii
worried her
There isn't anything for you to do,
Henry" she said, when she parted from
him at the station in the city. I've left
everything prepared Helen knows just
what to do about breakfast and straight
ening up before you go to church to-
morrow. and about starting the dinner
I've told Roger to help her make the
beds and wash the dishes, and I'll be
back tomorrow night in time for supper,
If you will delay 1t about an hour I've
decided not to stay longer"
What do you think would happen at
home" laughed Henry "if you really
did stay on for a visit with your mother
at the seashore?"
Well, you'd mix up my accounts hope
lessly, l know, even If you are a book
keeper, and unless was there to direct
her, no woman who came in to do the
work would pay the slightest attention to
Helen's suggestions as TO what l always
did, and Roger would probably spend all
his time away from home with that new
chum of his and never think of going
around looking for the nttt6 jobs which
find every day to keep him busy, and
which are so necessary If the place is to
be kept in perfect repair"
We'll. perhaps you had better come
back tomorrow night If all those things
would happen in your absence" smiled
Henry. Il haven't the least doubt that
what you say is true, and IT is exactly
what l was trying to point out to you
the other day, but you insisted that
was wrong You know, in the office" he
continued slyly. Il could stay away for
a month or even pass out forever an
the whole works would go on without
one bump in the machinery"
We'll, we will find out what is the
matter with the system. if you think

PHYSICIANS DEFY DISEASE

Baltimore, March IT. Physicians
and others of the personnel of the
archaeological Department Of Johns
Hopkins Hospital have Just submit
ted to tests OF various kinds, in order
80 throw new light upon the danger
of disease germs in the mouth and
throat. DR.. A. Il. Bloomfield had
charge of the tests, his chief conclu-
sion being that the normal surfaces
Of the air passages afford very I'M
favorable environment for foreign or
ganisms TO colonize and develop a
real diseased condition, though the
germs are constantly present.
Those who figured in the tests
were at all times exposed to infec-
'tious diseases of AL sorts, bearing
this exposure with entire disregard Of
personal risk.

Washington. March ia Navy
men are as eager as army flyers to
engage in the tests to determine the
effectiveness of bombs dropped on
surface craft by airplaRss. Many Of
ficets and men have volunteered to
man any surface ship used for the
tests. However, since the joint Ar
my and Navy Boards recommends
tions, which were adopted about a
month ago, forbid an actual exchange
of shots where personnel is expected
they won't get hurt.
Some naval officers would like to
have test with scout planes from
ships going up to meet the bombing
planes and their escorts. not to men
ltion the use Of anti-airsraft guns and
other defensive means. This would
give an actual war test and not mere
ly stimulation of actual warfare"
Those in authority, however. de-
cided that the risk in flying 80 to
100 miles to sea will be sufficiently
great. The tests are expected to de-
velop data of great importance, al
though it is admitted they may no,
be conclusive.

STATE COMMISSION
REJECTS Highway LOANS
County Advancement Not to Be
Accepted for Local Aid.
Board Decides

Frankfort, KY, March 1S.-No ad-
vancements in the form of loans by
counties for construction of State
highway system projects will be ac-
cepted, the State Highway Commits
sion decided after comforting with
Attorney General Charles l. Dawson,
who explained to the commissioners
the opinion of the Court of Appeals
in the Hopkins County case.
in that the court held that such an
advancement is a debt within the
meaning of the Constitution, and the
department is limited to the estimat-
ed annual income for the current
year. =.
Hopkins County was Offering to
lend the department $4,000 of its
bond issue for construction of the
Dixie Bee Line through the county
The court said it could, as the State
was not obligated at the time beyond
it's current road revenues.
Since there are enough counties
ready 70 match dollar for dollar with
the State in Federal aid projects to
keep the State road fund employd,
the commission was of the opinion
that the better policy is to decline all
local loans.
The question whether counties may
contribute their bond issues to the
State for use on Federal aid projects
will be decided shortly by Judge
Thomas, who has before him the suit
of County Attorney Thompson of
Lawrence County to enjoin the Fis-
cal Court from thus contributing
$3.50, 900 toward the Mayo Trail Mr.
Thompson and a delegation from
Lawrence and Johnson were before
the commission urging change in
the route designated in Lawrence
County, but the commission deferred
action until after the suit is decid-
ed, as the route of the Mayo Trail
would be mooted question if the
court should say the money could not
be used for it.
The Flat Fork route of the Mid
land Trail through Carter County
was adopted by the commission. Ri
valry between advocates of that route |
and the one along the Chesapeake &
Ohio was thrashed out before the !
Engineers were of the |
opinion that the Flat Fork route
would save 100000 in construction
cost
Owen and Henry Counties will be
allowed convict labor again this year

ton.
