Peter Rabbit was one Of the very
few who often visited the Bu2zard
home in the Green Forest. After
the first curiosity had been satisfied
most Of the little people of the
Green Forest kept away from there
But Peter almost always managed to
PASS near the Buzzard home when
over he happened 10 be over In the
Green Forest. You see, he was in
tereeted. He had hunted for that
home so long that his interest had
boon thoroughly awakened. Besides,
he liked to see those awkward Buz-
lard babies grow. 1t seemed as 1t
every time he went over there they
were a little bigger. 1t was Peter
who saw them make their first awk-
ward attempts to fly. The first time
one Of them tlapped his way up TO a
lower branch of tree Peter Won
Icrpd If ever that youngster would

mother. He was SO awkward with
those big wings OF his that it didn't
seem possible he ever would be able
TO do anything with them.
When next Peter was over that
way he discovered the young Buzz
Yards happing their way back and
forth between two tall, dead trees
some little distance apart. They we're
still awkward and clumsy, but when
Peter came to think It over he had
to admit that or Mistah BuZzard
himself is rather awkward when he
first starts to fy, and 1t isn't until
he is IN In the air little distance
that he becomes so wonderful to see.
So perhaps these two young Buzz
yards would some day be wonderful
flyers like their parents.
The summer passed swiftly. Peter
had so many things to see and be
curious about that for awhile he
didn't go into that part of the Green
Forest where the Buzzards lived. In
fact, he had rather forgotten them
until one morning as he sat Just in
side the dear Old Briar- patch look

Nan wrote to her father that
night. II am going to marry Mr..

says he will hand me all the 1OU's

She sat for long time with the

the lines she had written.
Then she addressed the envelope
and sent the little maid with 1t to

Knowledge Of English May Be
 Required Of Applicants

Hartford, June 5.--People who are unable 10 understand highway warnipgs or direetion slgns in the English language would be denied the right 10 operate motor vehicles in any part Of the United States if . proposal for a uniform vehicle act now pending before the national con- terence Of commissioners on uniform state laws, should materialize. The conference, of which Commissioner stoeckel of the state motor vehicle department Is . member, has been in session at Washington the past two days under the auspices of the United States Department of Com merce.
 This proposal and many others are incorporated in voluminous draft of uniform act which was forwarded 10 the Connecticut depart ment prior 10 this weeks meeting, as basis-for discussion. The uniform minimum age for licensed operators would be fixed at IS years. which is two years under the minimum fixed by the Connecticut law. Efforts have been made in several recent sessions of the Connecticut Legislature to lower the minimum age requirement. but without success. ttt
 The headlight requirements in the proposed uniform act are similar in many respects to those of the Con nccticut law, which has been adopt ed by several other states. Most of the other features Of the Connecticut law, also, are embodied in the draft. The uniform act does not arbitrarily decide for or against deaf operators, which is a question now pending be- fore the Eastern Conference of Mo- tor Vehicle Administrators, which Includes Connecticut, The uniform act would handle that matter much as 1t Is covered in the law of this state, leaving 1t In the discretion ot the motor vehicle commissioner ol each state to determine whether an applicant is afflicted with or suffer. ing from such physical or menta disability or disease as will serve tc
