PETER RABBIT KEEPS
GUARD

Nov there are some people who
l think only of themselves and
in times of danger have no thought
of others. But Peter Rabbit is not
that kind. When Peter Rabbit is
frightened he always tries to warn
others who may be near. He does
it by humping the ground with
those stout hind feet Of his. Those
thumps can be heard long way
by those whose ears are near the
ground.
AS Peter sat near the pond of
Paddy the Beaver, deep in the Green
Forest, thinking over all the things
which HOnker the Goose had told
of the Great Woods of the Far
North, and of those who live there
lie didn't for a single little minute
forget to keep his ears open. He
knew that he would be safer in the
dear Old Brier Patch, but he wanted
to see more of Honker and per-
haps in the morning after a good
nights rest, HOnker would tell more
stories. Now HOnker was asleep
out there in the pond of Paddy the
Beaver. Buster Bear had gone
about his business for the night. SO
had Prickly Porky. Jumper the
Hare had gone also.
So Peter sat as still as still can
be, thinking over what he had heard
about Glutton the Wolverine and
Flathorns the Moose, and wonder
ing what it would be like to be
able to fly like Honker the Goose.
He looked up through the treetOps
at the twinkling stars and then
over at the pond where there seemed
to be stars, too, twinkling in the wa
ter. Where the Black shadows had
stretched themselves across the wa
ter he could just see what locked
like twelve blacker shadows. He
knew that they were HOnker and
his followers.
1T must be great to be a leader
like Honker, and have all the rest
obey you" thought Peter, who. you
know, never had been a leader in
his life. He must feel very anx-

Prehistoric Cave Bear

A king among wild animals was
the great cave bear, creature
twice the size of the grizzly bear of
North America. Lions and tigers
had little chance against this pow
erful enemy. In the prehistoric age
of man it became abundant in the
British isles, as proved by the eX-
traordinary number of remains
which have been found in caverns
and caves. 1t did not extend far
ther north than Yorkshire. Remains
of a bear found in Ireland more re-
semble the grizzly of today, and
bones of this mammal have also
been discovered in England.-LOn-

How to train BABYS
8 Q w ELS

Babies, bottle-fed or breast fed,
with any tendency to be constipated,
would thrive if they received daily
half teaspoonful of this old family

That is one sure way to train tiny
bowels to healthy regularity. To
avoid the fretfulness, vomiting,
crying, failure to gain, and other ills
of constipated babies.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
good for any baby. For this, you hare

seven years of practice taught him
just what babies need to keep their
little bowels active, regular; keep
little bodies plump and healthy. For

ment of women and little ones. He
attended over $500 births without
loss of one mother or baby.

Twenty members of the chap

and perhaps feeling that Fort
McHenry Chapter was also too
long name, requested transfer
of their membership to a chapter
with a shorter name - the Ann
Hill Chapter.
Transfer Refused
The controversy, now centers
over the refusal of Miss Julia
Jennings, regent of the former
Col. Calls chapter, to sign the
transfer cards for the 20 mem

the ground that the relinquishing
of 20 members would deprive the

HOLLYWOOD, January 80 (NA.N.A0.
More than the present heat wave has
the village in other these days.
Three gentlemen who have made some
of the best pictures released hereabouts
closed their Office doors behind them
and walked out of Pathe studios
Wednesday, leaving the lot bossless.
E. c. Derr, chief executive, and
Charles Sullivan, general manager, took
French leave following dissensions over
the Pathe-Radio merger And inside
the honeycomb of offices sat large
staff of directors, supervisors, scenar-
lists, dialoguists, assistants to all these
named and assistants to assistants,
wondering just where they would get
the next payment on the rolls in the
event they we're handed the blue slip.
Mergers mean blue-slipping galore.
Combines, with the ensuing economies
involved. invariably do. And where
heads fall in Hollywood and payments
fall due at the same time there are
tragedies of no small nature.

pictures as Ann Harding in Holiday;

with their printed lists of liquor prices
and their delicately worded reminder
that If local bootleggers do not accept
their listings and conditions they will
establish rivalry in the respective zon-
ings of the city, and We are having a

Weasel Game to Life"

Many animals will feign death in
order to save their lives besides the
opossum, which is famed for this bit
of trickery Zoologist Pike writes: "A
cat of my acquaintance caught a
weasel, and, as usual with her cap
lures, brought it to the house The
weasel was picked up and examined,
then put back on the grass pussy
played with it. as cats will do, throw
ing it into the air and tossing it from
side to side. and all this time the
weasel remained limp and motionless.
The artful little creature was playing
a waiting game; it knew that if it at
tempeted to struggle the cat would give
it one bite and end its existence.
after a, time the cat tired of play
ing: she had no intention of eating it,
for the srenL of a weasel is not attrac-
tive, and no cat, unless pressed by hun
ger, would make meal of one. She
left it to follow her mistress up the
garden. and soon after the apparently
dead animal opened its eyes. lifted its
head very slowly, saw its enemies re-
treating. jumped up, ran for shelter,
and a moment later was lost in the
underground"
