To decorate every American mother who lost son in the World War with a gold star is the plan of Represen- tative Royal Johnson of South Da- kota, an ex-service man.
 Johnson recently introduced a bill in congress making such a provision. In addition the bill provides penalties for unauthorized persons wearing such decorations.-Stars and Stripes.

Paddy the Beaver had said the right thing in the right way.
 But you haven't told me yet what you made those holes in my dam for, Cousin Jerry,' said Paddy the Beaver, finally.
 Jerry didn't know just what to say. He was so pleased with his big new cousin that he didn't want to hurt his feelings by telling him that he didn't think that dam had any busi- ness to be across the Laughing Brook, and at the same time he wanted Paddy to know how he had spoiled the Laughing Brook and the Smiling Pool. At last he made up his mind to tell the whole story.
 Paddy listened gravely.
