BEDTIME STORIES b y. T S%rss.,

Of Peter Rabbit, several times and he
had made the acquaintance Of Long
foot the kangaroo Rat AS he sat there
in the moonlight watching Longfoot he
discovered what he thought might be
one of Jongfoot's babies. OF course, he
was greatly interested at once. Soon,
however, he began to suspect that ne
was mistaken and that this was not one
of Longfootss babies at all To begin
with, 1t didn't act like. a baby. No, sir,
It didn't act at AN Ike baby. It
seemed quite equal to taking care OF
itself.
Now, who can you be?" muttered
Farmer Browns Boy. You've got long
hindfeet and short front legs, and a
long tail, all Of which looks as II you
must be q jumper like Nimbleheels the
Jumping Mouse back home on the
Green Meadows. Ha, thought sol"
Just then something had startled the
little fellow and he had jumped as only
one built for jumping can jump. 1t
was Midget the Silky Pocket Mouse,
one of the smallest Of all the people
who wear fur anywhere in all the Great
World. Farmer Browns Boy sat still
and In a few minutes back came
Midget. Longfoot had gone to carry his
grain to his storehouse and Midget
made the most of his opportunity.
With his nose close TO the grain ne
began stufing his cheek pockets, for he
also Is the happy possessor Of pockets.
So fast did his tiny front feet move that
Farmer Browns Boy couldn't see just
what the movement was. He wouldn't
have known what Midget was doing had
he not noticed Midget's cheeks. They
were swelling out. Even while he stared
at them they grew more and more
plump. Farmer Browns Boy laughed
right out and that scared Midget, and
away he scampered. Anyway, his
pockets needed emptying
He wasn't gone long, but when he
returned Longfoot was there and
wouldn't let him near that grain. He
was selfish, was Longfoot. He wouldn't
have let Midget have grain If he
could have helped it, but he couldn't
help It, He was quick, was Longfoot,
but Midget was quicker and would dart
in, get a grain and slip away before
Longfoot could stop linn.
1T is mine, all mine. Keep away,
you little thief" squeaked Longfoot.
only that which you get is yours.
What I can get is mine," squeaked
Midget in reply.
II am coming here by daylight when
I can see these little scamps better, I"
declared Farmer Browns Boy, not
knowing that these little desert people
were far too wise TO be out and about
in the heat Of day.

Offset the difference In order to live.
Farmer Browns Boy was just begin
ming to make the acquaintance Of some
OF the little people Of the Dry Desert.
Sometimes he wondered how there could
be any little desert people Yes, sir, he
did so. He wondered how they found
enough TO eat and he wondered how
they found enough TO drink You see,
he could not imagine any one being able
to live without drinking Yet that was
exactly what some Of these little people
were doing. Longfoot the kangaroo Rat
was one. He actually had no use for
water. This was because Old Mother
Nature had so arranged matters that he
didn't need water, very convenient
arrangement considering where he lived
Already Farmer Browns Boy had seen

Fashions of Today
BY MARIE sHALMAR.

There is no longer any question OF
the smartness Of fabric gloves and
among the newest gloves to reach US
from Paris are fabric gauntlet gloves of
slip-on construction with widely flaring
cuffs that extend to within a few
inches of the elbow. They are worn
with long-sleeved, elbow-sleeved and
sleeveless dresses or with the jacket suit.
Now that the fabric glove has as
sun1ed fashionable importance, there is
every reason to expect interesting de-
velopments in this direction as time
goes on.
Among new evening accessories there
are white kid gloves to wear with
sleeveless dresses, showing pronounced
flare above the elbow. Black or white
lace mitts-made without f1ngers-ex-
tending nearly to the elbow-are chosen
to wear With picturesque afternoon
dress.

Heavy drains on the funds set
aside for relief work during the
first five months of this year

to care for children in homes i'm.
poverished by unemployment and
other emergencies while an ad-
ditional $4,000 was asked in ap-
preparations for mothers pen
Sions.
The announcement said private
agencies anticipate witness eX-
panding demands for relief, and
that the situation can be ade.
quately met only by private and
public agencies joining forces.
Until this month the Associated
Charities spent $90,956 for relief
work, compared with $63,935 for
the same period.

After Birds Win,

NEW YORK, May 30.-The usual
Memorial day double-headerS were
on the program for major league
teams today as the st. Louis Card
inals and New York Giants con-
tinued their struggle for the Ma
tionaI League leadership.
St. Louis advanced into tie with
the Giants for the top position Fri
day by defeating Cincinnati, IA to
g, as New York was losing to
Brooklyn, 3 to 2. The Cardinals
pounded three Cincinnati pitchers
for seventeen hits and clinched the
contest in the first four innings,
when they scored ten runs of Lucas
and Eckert. The Reds batted Bur-
leigh Grimes hard and he was re-
lieved in the sixth.
Mitchell Is Beaten
Dazzy-V Vance and Joe Shaute out
pitched the veteran Clarence Mitch
ell to give the Robins victory over
the Giants.
Shaute allowed the Giants only
one hit after he had taken Vance's
place in the seventh and received
credit for the victory. An error
by Mel OFT, New York centerf1elder,
allowed Slade, who had walked, to
score the winning run from first
base on Thonpson's single in the
ninth INNING.
Boston retained its half game
margin over Chicago for third place
by winning from Philadelphia, 5 to
g. Al Spohrers three doubles fea-
tured the Braves thirteen-hit attack
on Phil Collins and H. Elliott. Three
Boston moundsmen held the Phil
lies to nine hits.
Errors Aid Cubs
Three errors by the Pittsburgh
inf1eld helped the Chicago Cubs to
beat the Pirates, 4 to 3, in ten in
nings. The Cubs scored the win
ming run on an error, sacrifice and
single in the tenth.
Tommy Bridges and Waite Hoyt
were hammered hard as Cleveland
handed Detroit their twelfth loss in
