r INER THE MOLE was digging
M q tunnel and Danny and
lVI Nanny Meadow Mouse were
1 7 i watching the progress Of that
tunnel. They couldn't watch
Miner, for he was under ground. OF
course, that is where he would have to
be to dig tunnel. But they could
tell just how fast he was digging and
in just what direction he was making
that tunnel. You see, that tunnel
was just under the roots of the grass
and Miner kept pushing the roof up
SO that it formed a ridge. All Danny
and Nanny had to do was to watch
the progress of that ridge to know
just where Miner was at work.
Down in the ground Miner was
working hard, but you should not
pity him for that. You see, Miner
wouldn't be happy II he didn't work
hard. He has done 1t all his life. For
every particle Of food he has to dig,
and because he Is a hard worker he
requires much food. So he digs after
worms and grubs and insects that live
all or a part of their lives in the
ground. He bores his way along,
driving the long stout claws of his
powerful big front feet past his nose
into the earth and sweeping it back
much as if he were swimming through
the ground. And as he bored his way
ahead he kicked some of the dirt
behind him to be pushed back to the
nearest opening, and he pushed some
up so that the roof was raised. And
every now and then he came to a
worm or grub and ate it.
AS they watched that ridge grow in
length Danny and Nanny, especially
Nanny, became more and more ex-
cited. Hes going to do it! AS sure
as you're alive, he's going to do it!"
cried Nanny.
"It must be so If you say So" agreed
it If you would tell me just what it
is he is going to do"
Garry his tunnel right under that
old coat right close to where We live,
of course. What did you think he was
going to do?" replied Nanny.
II didn't think" replied Danny.
"Just why are you so excited about
his digging his tunnel under that
coat?"
You're not thinking now" retorted
Nanny. IF you were you wouldn't
ask that question:
Danny looked at the ridge Of earth
steadily drawing near that old coat
in the fence corner, and he looked at
the old coat. Finally he looked at
Nanny. "I give it up" said he. What's
the anSwer?"
Are you really stupid or just pre-
tending to be?" demanded Nanny.
IF Miner the Mole carries that tun-
mel under that old coat think what
that will mean to U.S."
We'll, what will it mean?" asked
Danny after waiting a bit.
Nanny quite lost patience. as
something wrong with your head,
Danny Meadow Mouse?" she snapped.
Don't you see that with that tunnel
to make use Of We can go and come

To Be a Jonah,

ITO SAY of a person that he is a
= Jonah is to brand him hoodoo, a
bringer of hard luck. The word owes
this sense to an incident in the Bible.
In the Book of Jonah 1t is related
how the prophet, Jonah, disobeying a
mandate of God, fed on a ship for
Tarshish.
During the voyage terrific storm
came up. Superstitiously looking
among them for its cause, the sailors.
on learning that Jonah had fled from
the presence of the Lord" thought
they had it. They threw Jonah over
board and "the sea ceased from her
raging"
After many adventures Jonah
finally completed his errand, which Is
another story; but he had given us q
word which will stay in our language
forever, to indicate harbinger Of i'll
fortune.

~ RESSES for daytime wear ap-
pear simpler than ever. Few
of them, however, give the
~ impression of being severe.
On the contrary, they have
q warm, comfortable and modish look,
which comes from the greater indulg-
ence in color and a recurrent interest
in unusual weaves.
The plain little frock appearing to-
day is a type that will be of great
consequence soon after the holidays
For it is obvious that women are to
be put into print-conscious frame
of mind. And SO vibrant with color,
and animated with design, are the
new fabrics, that the dresses, per-
force, must be cut with the fewest
seam lines possible, in order not to
disturb the beauty and arrangement
of the material itself.
This, to the home dressmaker, IS
good news in itself. For it means
getting grand effects with the mini
mum of effort. The indications are
that unusual combinations of color
will rank above mere textile designs.
Rich wine shades, for instance. are
being used with sapphire blue and a
dash of white. Tulip shades and blues
are seen in combination with clear
yellow and pale blue and designs are
being outlined with natural or white,
to have a Summery look. =

You Can Be Beautiful

said. IF am feeling blue or fatigued

stick and powder on fast enough.
After have used them my spirits go
soaring and the depression is over for
me-"
The whistle blew for silence and for
Miss Hayes to resume an affectionate
attitude toward Robert Montgomery
under the cameras unfiinching eye.
Carrie, her devoted and willing slave
ran forward to fix a recalcitrant blond
lock, her eye quick to catch any defect
In makeup which would not show her
favorite at her best.
Carrie was far more Informative
about the beauty secrets Of her mis-
tress. For instance, she always has
warm tub OF water loaded with bath
salts ready for Miss Hayes the minute
she arrives from work. This is her
rest remedy" She never takes pills
for headaches or "tired feelings" A
bath relaxes her and 8 or 10 hours
sleep keeps her, as Carrie put it, "fresh
as a daisy"
Women envy her diminutive figure
on the screen or stage. But the very
ones who would give anything for that
petite appearance probably would not
spend the half hour day in exercises
to keep so well proportioned. Miss
Hayes never weighs more than 90
pounds-an extra pound without ex-
ercise often is not evenly distributed
so she takes her daily dozen" regu-
larly.
Miss Hayes has a weakness, even
Carrie admits. She has regiments OF
bottles filled with toilet water. Carrie
has to pack them at each move. Light
flower scents in almost every one of
them. 1t keeps Carrie busy, but she
likes 1t, evidently having taken the
idea Of achievement to heart.

Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS.
Safety Play.

r EFT us assume that you are play
ing duplicate contract. and
that you have become the de-
IL clarer on the third board. Be-
fore touching q card, ask your
self the following questions:
l. How many tricks can I afford
to lose?
2. How many tricks am I going
to lose?
If two is more than one, you must
definitely do something about it.
There should be some way Of reduc-
ing your losers.
3. Am in the right contract? In
other words, am playing the hand
at four spades, when I can make
four no trumps? If so, I'll have to
make five spades by hook or by crook.
In today's hand, South realizes
that he must lose a spade, a heart
and club, unless the king Jack Of
hearts is in the East hand. He also
notes that three no trumps should
be a spread, but number Of other
unfortunates will be in four hearts,
so the suit contract If made, will
be good score.

THIS surname is very ancient one
and was no doubt assumed as q
surname from the local or place name
Bedford, a town and shire in England
The word is a combination of "bedan,' -
meaning battle, war, slaughter, and
ford" meaning a shallow place for
crossing a stream Of water. The old
Welsh "byddin-ffordd," meaning the
route Of an army, was perhaps the
earliest application of the name
The coat of arms here illustrated
was borne by Bedfords who were early
settled in Pennsylvania, Virginia and
other Southern States Thomas Bed
ford Q730-85) of Charlotte County
Va, was landed proprietor and q
member Of the Committee of Safety In

County, Va. His descendants are now
well scattered, some of them being
found in the Far West. Bedfords in
Pennsylvania were engaged in the
shoe manufacturing business.

The Debunker

A THOUGH many historians are
doubtful whether such a person
as Arthur ever lived, others concede
that there may have been a British
chieftain by that name, but state that
his existence and deeds have very
little to do with the origin of the cycle
of romances to which his name is
given" He is supposed to have lived
in the sixth century and to have been
killed at the battle of Camlan. Au-
thentic history, however, does not have
any record of his actual existence
much less the existence of his legen-
dairy court and knights of the Round

EZRA ASSIGNS 30
 TO MOSQUITO JOB
Southington Gang to Re- move Dam Across Quin=
 nipiack River

The EZRA has assigned thirty
 men in Southington to complete the mosquito elimination project abandoned last June. Working un- der direction of engineers of the Connecticut Agricultural Experi- ment Station, the men will remove the dam across the Quinnipiack
 River. clean out the river bed and channel, and ditch mosquito- breeding swamps in the town. Work will start this week.
 Dam and water rights have been acquired by the borough of Southington So that work may now go forward without interruption. The dam backs up the river water into a lake and causes the forma- tion of half dozen stagnant swamps in Southington. Removal of the dam will accomplish the major task of draining lake and swamps. However. deep standing
 pools will be reached only by cleaning out the channels and ditching.
 The work fil probably be fin- ished by the first of the year and will be effective in decreasing the number of mosquitoes next spring.
