Bedtime Stories
Black Pussy's Dreadful Blunder
By Thornton w. Burgess
Lool; agherc you're going lest yoa,
make
Unwittingly q sad mistake.
Black Pussy.

For four mornings Black Pussy had
patiently watched the little hole in
the middle of the path along one
side of the Old Orchard, the hole
which had been the doorway to
Striped Chipmunk's home and which
she supposed still was. On the first
morning she had all but caught hin,
as he had popped out, but since then
he hadn't popped out. But as he
had been out each morning She
thought he must either have come out
before she got there or else had an
other doorway to that home.
This was the fourth morning and
the fourth disappointment. Black
Pussy was very angry as she sat
In the middle of the path twitching
her tail. Disappointment often makes
folks angry. Black Pussy felt that
somehow, she didn't understand how,
Striped Chipmunk was making fun
of her, and she couldn't stand being
made fun of by saucy little chap
IKE him. The more she thought about
1t the angrier she grew.
A little movement in the grass not far
ahead of her drew her attention. In
ach touched the ground. Then out
from the grass beside the path came
Striped Chipmunk. He didn't appear
to see her, for he sat up and washed
his face and combed his whiskers
with his hands. Then he turned his
back to her and sat there in the mid
die of the path as if trying to make
up his mind what to do next
Black Pussy's yellow eyes cleaned
with fierceness and longing quite
dreadful to see. Inch by inch she crept
toward Striped Chipmunk. She
wasn't near enough to make rush
and she knew it. Inch by inch. inch
by inch she crept nearer and still
Striped sChipmunk sat there as if
there wasn't such thing as danger
in all the Great World. The end Of
Black Pussy's tail twitched faster
Inch by inch she crept on. II he sat
there a minute longer she would be
near enough for chance to catch him
before he could reach the old stone
wall.
Now, all this time while he appeared to
he naying attention to nothing in
particular. Striped Chipmunk was
watching Black Pussy fs9a. tie cor

started slowly toward the old stone
wall.
Black Pussy knew that it was now
or never. AS Striped Chipmunk dis
appeared in the grass beside the path
Black Pussy rushed after him, and
she can run fast when she wants to.
Ihen Striped Chipmunk took to his
legs Tor all they We're worth. Through
the grass and the bushes he raced
Tor the. old stone wall with Black
Pussy almost at his heels 1t was an
exciting race, terribly exciting
race. Striped Chipmunk began to
wonder if he had been too bold; if
he mad waited too long. Just in front
OF HIM close to the old stone wall Law
something black and white. With =
lying leap Striped Chipmunk jumped
over 1t and landed on one of the lower
stones Of the old wall In 8 flash he
had whisked between two stones and
was safe.
Black Pussy had eyes for nothing
put that striped coat in front of her
She didn't see that black and white
tnlng at all. All she saw was That
striped Chipmunk was almost to tire
safety OF that old wall. So as he
made that dying leap for safety.
Black Pussy leaped too. her claws
stretched to grasp Striped Chipmunk
And Black Pussy landed right square
on that black and white thing close TO
the old stone wall. Right then and there
Things happened very fast. Black
Pussy had made q dreadful blunde,

A hearing OH the application of the
Long Island Electric Company to tenn
porarily discontinue it's service be-
tween Rockaway Boulevard and Grant
Avenue, and to transfer its passengers
to the cars of the New York & Long
Island Traction Company was held
yesterday before Lincoln C. Andrews
chief executive officer of the Transit
Commission.
Arthur Peacock, attorney for the
company, said the change was made
necessary because of the construction

Avenue. Both companies operate on
the same tracks between the points
mentioned, with single track part of
the way.
A vote taken at the hearing showed
that majority Of those present were
opposed to temporary discontinuance

ALAY OF THE LINKS

It's up and away from our work today,
For the breeze sweeps over the
down;
And it's hey for a game where the
gorse blossoms flame,
And the bracken is bronzing to
brown.
With the turf meath our tread and the
blue overhead,
And the song of the lark in the
whin;
There's the flag and the green, with
the bunkers between
Now will you be over or in?
The doctor may come and we'll teach
him to know
A tee where no tannin can Turk;
The soldier may come, and we'll prom
Use to show
Some hazards a soldier may shirk;
The statesman may joke, as he tops
every stroke
/ That at last he is high in his aims !;
And the clubman will stand with a
club in his hand
That is worth every club in st.
James.
The palm and the leather come rarely
together,
Cripnino the drivers halft,
And it's good to feel the jar OF the
steel
And the spring of the hickory shaft
Why trouble or seek for the praise OF
a clique
A cleek here is common to all;
And the lie that might sting is very
small thing
When compared with the lie OF the
ball.
Come youth and come age, from the
study or stage,
From bar or from bench-high o.
low!
| A green you must use do " 'uie w
the blues
You drive them away as you go.
We're outward bound on long, Ion,
round,
And it's time to be up and away:
If worry and sorrow come back Wit
the morrow
At least we'll be happy today.

Will Honor First Division

Provision for a memorial to the
dead of the First Division, American
Expeditionary Forces, to cost $780,
900, is made by Senator Warren OF
Wyoming, in a report from the Com
mittee on Public Buildings and
Grounds.
The Division entered Germany with
the Army of Occupation and occupied
a sector of the Coblenz Bridgehead.
Just as it was the first to go, so 1t
was the last to return, and it reached
New York on September 6, 1919.
During the Divisions campaigns
and battles it's losses amounted to 249
officers and 5,040 enlisted men killed
in action or died of wounds, and GAL
officers and 1880 enlisted men
wounded in action.
Before leaving Germany the Divi-
sion secured funds from private
sources and erected five monuments on
the principal battlefIelds bearing in
DIOIlLe lIlS VI Gil "AAo IVA oN'
each field. Immediately upon return
ing to the United States the First Di-
vision Memorial Association began to
raise funds for the erection OF a
worthy monument in the city OF Wash
ington which should bear in honor the
names of those who gave their lives
| ol Oh
serve forever their spirit of courage
and sacrifice as an inspiration to ou1
people. At present the fund amount:
to $4,000, and it is intended to in
crease the sum to $150,00O. 1t is pro
posed to secure a suitable design
which will not only fulfill the purpos
desired, but which will be an orna
ment to the National Capital.

Durability of Wood Not
Affected by Time Of Cutting

Many of the theories advanced re-
garding the durability of wood at
tribute too much Importance to the
time of cutting, say specialists OF the
Forest Products Laboratory, Forest
Service, United States Department OF
Agriculture. AS a matter of fact, the
time of cutting has very little effect
upon the durability or other proper
ties if the timber is properly cared for
after it is cut. The method of hand
ling logs at different times of the
year, however, does influence their
durability.
Timber cut in late fall and winter
seasons more slowly and with less
checking than during the warmer
months, and when proper storage or
handling is impracticable, winter cut
ting is best. Fungi and insects do moi
attack wood out of doors in cold
weather, and by the time warn
weather arrives the wood is partly
seasoned and somewhat less suscepti
BILE to attack. 1t is for these reason:
that winter cutting is advantageous
and not on account of smaller amour
of moisture or sap in the wood in win
ter, as the popular belief has it. Their
is practically no difference in moisture
content of green wood in winter an
summer.

Congress Likes
Harding's Fairness

Members of Cngress have been care
fully studying the general policy out
lined by President Harding toward
labor, manufacturing and agriculture
in his speeches of the past few days. |
With this policy they agree. Hence
accentuated harmony between the Re-
publican executive and the Republican
Congress.
These are the utterances which
they have singled out as expressive of
the policy of the new administration:
Justice, like charity, must begin at
home. We must be just to ourselves
and to our own, first of all. This is
not selfish, for selfishness seeks more
than fair share; we seek only that
which is rightfully our own and then
to preserve that to ourselves and our
posterity. The war sadly disjointed
things in the world, and we are now
seeking to restore the proper balance.
In our efforts to do this, to achieve
| Justice without selfishness, we will do
we'll to cling to our firm foundations.
l believe in the inspired beginning.
There we will find that national great
ness was founded on agriculture, that
later we developed industry, and ulti-
mately commerce, both domestic and
foreign.
"The country has emerged from
the hectic prosperity following the
war, and is suffering from depression
We are confronted by the need to
place our own house in order, and nc
more important feature of that effort
, can be visioned than to place oul
agricultural industry on sound basis
and provide machinery and facilities
for financing and distributing crops
f If we do this, we merely will be pro
viding the farmer with facilitie:
similar to those enjoyed by the bust
ness community generally. The farme
is entitled to all the help the Govern
: ment can give him without injustic
: to others, because it is of the utmos
. Importance that the agricultural com
5 munity be contented and prosperous.
u Turning to industry, our polio
must be to give it every facility poss
It BILE, but to keep Government outside
e participation in business on its ow
l. account. It is not necessary for tt
: Government to intrude itself in tn
II business activities which are bette
d conducted through private instrume1
lie talities, merely in order to demon
N strate that the Government is mo-
re powerful than anything else in tn
Id country"

Motherhood to be Protected

Protection of maternity and in
fancy by providing opportunity for
mothers everywhere to receive suit
able instruction in child hygiene is
given in a bill favorably reported to
the Senate by Chairman Kenyon OF
the Senate Committee on Education
and Labor.
The measure is the result of dis
closures by the Children's Bureau
that $4,000 mothers died in 1918 from
causes connected with childbirth. The
Bureau also demonstrated:
High maternal mortality rates,
above the average for the United
States as a whole.
The fact that 80 per cent of the
mothers had received no advice or
trained care during pregnancy.
Many mothers had no trained at
tendants of any kind at confinement.
Inaccessibility and often entire lack
of hospitals, doctors, and nurses.
Practically no organized effort to
meet the need for instruction in pre-
natal and infant hygiene and for
trained care during pregnancy and
confinement.
An almost prohibitive cost for pro-
viding adequate care at confinement
in scattered and isolated rural dis
tricts. The very districts where adj

ON FOOT
TO BUY HISTORIC SPOTS
Chalmette Battlefield and
Jamestown Island May Be
Government Property

Historic Chalmette battlefield, just
below New Orleans, where Gen. An
drew Jackson met and defeated the
british in 1912, will be purchased by |
the government and turned into ma
tional military park, if Congress &C
cents the recommendation of report
made by Representative Hull of Iowa,
of the Committee on Military Affairs.
The measure was submitted to the
Secretary of War, and he in turn SUBJ
mitted it to the United States Engi-
neers Office for report. This has been
made with the recommendation that
the park be established.
In order to do so about 226 acres Of
land must be purchased, at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000 per acre, and it
is figured that the total cost of estab-
fishing the park will be in round
figures about $50O,OOo.
The Federal Government already
owns small portion of the land on
which is now located the Chalmette
Monument, and there is small strip
near by on which is established a
memorial by the National Daughters
of the American Revolution. 1t is pur-
posed to purchase the land between
these two sites.
Recommendation to buy historic
Jamestown Island, the site of the
settlement made famous by Captain
John Smith, has been made to Con
gress by Representative Bascon
Slemp, the sole Republican member o.
the House from Virginia.
1t is stated in his resolution that:
"Whereas, the first permanent Eng
Ish settlement in the Western Henri
sphere was made at jamestown Is
land, Va, on the 14th day of May
1907, and Anglo-Saxon institution

Kisses and Health

Are American girls opposed to kiss
ing? The Illuminating statement on
OSCILLATION accredited to DR.. Simon
Louis Katzoff, A. NJ, M. D., before a
meeting of the Bridgeport Philoso-
phical Society inspires this question.
"Osculation is the greatest disinfec-
tant ever discovered Kisses are dam
gerous only when cold" says the au-
thority. A composite humorous inter-
view with co-eds and college men OBJ
tanned by Films is worth reading:
