 Bran Raisin Mullins
 At a little tea room on Broad street, where we often eat lunch, they make speciality of home cooking and one of the best sellers that they have is a bran muffin made with raisins. The woman in charge was kind enough to give me the recipe and she told me that the reason that they made them was that a great many of her patrons wanted hot breads with natural sugars. For the mullins sift two cups of white flour with one cup of whole wheat flour, one tea spoon of salt and seven level tea spoons of baking powder. Add one cup of bran, one and a half cups of seeded raisins, two beaten eggs, two tablespoons of melted butter and two l and a half cups of milk, beat smooth and bake in muffin tins 20 minutes in a hot oven.

 The influx of visitors who will come to Chicago to attend the festiv- ities connected with the Pageant of Progress will stir things up quite a bit an das matter of course will spend a lot of money. The hotels, transportation lines and retail shops
 will profit and the visitors will have a good time.
 Tuneful melodies from the orches- tras at the best musical shows in town will be swirled over Chicago by wireless to the visitors to the Nun icipal Pier during the Pageant Of Progress. The exhibit is a part of the wireless developments being worked out by MT. Keith, who has just completed an installation on top of the City Half for the police and fire departments.

Little Stories For Bedtime
 THORNTON W. BURGESS
THE SCHOOL IN THE OLD
 BRIAR PATCH

Of all the lessons in life's school
 For Rabbits, Squirrels. you and me. Obedience is taught us first,
 And most important seems To Le.
 Peter Rabbit learned that when te was very young. It hadn't seemed so important then, but after TWO or three very narrow escapes from dangers which might have cost him his life. and all because he hadn't obeyed, he had begun to realize that to obey promptly is the first and most important lesson any one can learn. The older he had grown the more he had realized this. So now that he had made up his mind that it was high time for his four babies to begin to go to school obedience was the lesson he meant that they should learn first of all.
 Now usually the teaching of baby Rabbits is left almost wholly to the mother. But Peter was too fond of little Mrs. Peter to leave all the work for her. Besides, she had lived nearly all her life in the Old Pasture and there were some dangers on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest that she didn't know about as well as he, so he made up his mind that he would do his share. Little Mrs. Peter was only too glad to have his help, you may be sure, and so it was agreed that she would teach Fuzzy and Wuzzy. while Peter would look after Little Pete and Little Jed. And this is how it happened that when Sammy Jay next visited the Old Briar Patch he found that it had been turned into a school instead of just a playground.
 He found Peter giving Little Pete and Little Jed lesson. Sammy didn't know what the lesson was about, but he soon found out
 "Now you sit just where you are and don't move until I come back said Peter. Remember. now, don't move so much as one of your ears. Don't forgeti"
 Then Peter hopped off out of sight The two little bunnies sat just as he had left them, for what seemed to them a very long time. They didn't know where Peter had gone or what he had gone for. They could see | their two little sisters eating some | tender young clover their mother had brought them and they wanted some too. If they didn't get over there soon it would all be gone. It seemed to them that never, never had theg wanted anything so in all their shof lives. and probably they never had. At last Little Pete could stand i
 no longer. You see, Little Pete wa:
