~ RS. PETER RABBITS six
N n lively bunnies had had their
V first important lesson to fit
4 i them to 60 out in the Great
World with a chance to live
to grow up, but they didn't know it..
No, sir. they didn't know it. 1t was
all play to them. They were simply
having lot of fun chasing Mother
through the dear Old Briar Patch
and trying to find her when she dis
| appeared. Only one had been smart
enough to find her, and of him she
was very proud
They were playing the game of
bump-on- log, but they didn't know
it then. When she was out of their
sight around turn in the path, she
had hoped up en- the end of an old
log, and there she had sat crouched
close with her ears laid back. All of
those bunnies had seen her, yet only
one had really seen her. This is to say
all had seen what they took to be just
bump on that old log save that one
who had hoped up to make sure it
really was just bump and so had dis
covered his mother.
All the others were out of sight when
she jumped down from the log and
thumped. At the sound the five bum
nies came running from all directions,
for they had felt wee bit frightened
when they could not find mother.
Where were you?" they cried.
where were you hiding?"
That is for you to find out" replied
Mrs. Peter.
Hide again and see if we can find
you" cried the bunny who had found
her.
and the six little bunnies scampered
afLer her. trying to keep her white
tail in sight. She circled around so
as to come back by that old log, and
there she tried the same trick over
again. She crouched on the old log
and sat perfectly still. The six bunnies
came scampering along as fast as they
could, and all but the one who had
found her the first time ran right
past. He waited until the others were
out of sight and then hoped up by
MS mOtner again 10 let neT KNOW ne
knew where she was.
Once more Mrs. Peter thumped to
call the others back, and as before
they begged to be told where she was
hiding She didn't tell them, but
led them back a little way.
Now, children" said she, instead
of trying to find me we will let Wiggle-
nose 90 ahead and then see If we
can find him." Wisglenose was the

more infuriated because only little

a colleague for receiving a bill from
Warren.

he dispatched his secretary to War
ren's Office for a reckoning.
Mr. Warren was sorry his "old
friend" was offended, tore up the bill
in the secretary's presence and re-
quested that the boss be advised to
forget all about it.
The resentment of members of the
House over this sort of thing goes
deeper than the mere fact that their
kilograms are being watched. 1t is
rooted in the fact that while the two
houses of Congress are constitutional
ly equal the Senate usually gets the
gravy.
This is because the Senate has
fewer self-constituted watch dogs.
That fine old phrase-"senatorial
courtesy'-permits members of that
body to do pretty much as they
please. 1t works all the way from a
shave and haircut in their own pri-
vate barber shop to drinking mineral
waters in their cloak rooms.

Canning Hints.

When canning, sterlize the rubbers
and lids in French fryer. Place
the required number of rubbers and
lids in the wire basket, which Is I'M
mersed in boiling water. When ready
to use, remove the basket, and the
rubbers and lids may be removed with
out danger of scslding the fingers in
boiling water.
For use in canning small uuanti-
ties. select salad dressing jars or other
small jars. Cut round pieces of rub
ber to fit inside the lids. The inner
tubes from automobiles which have
been discarded are very good and do
not injure the taste. Cleanse the
rubber well and sterilize with the jars
and lids. Pepper hash, preserves and
other things keep nicely.

he has been seen doing somersault

AS a family man, he takes his re-
sponsibilities too lightly. The mother
builds a rather sketchy nursery. 1t

Spectator Frock Is Of Cha|k-White Crepe
Old Time Favorite Employed
in Giving Distinction for
Town and Country.
Necklines Show Welcome to
New Ideas Now CIassed as
Very Important.
BY BARBARA BELL.

w YOMEN who enjoy the
a feather weight touch of
wv pure-dye silk will welcome
its return to fashionable
circles in the guise OF
spectator frocks that endear them
selves to their wearers through GER
tain thistle-down quality very salts
fying to feel when keeping score on
the side lines.
The model shown in the sketch
gives evidence of the success with
which this time favorite can be
used IN making town and country
clothes of distinction and individu-
ality. All experienced travellers know
the satisfaction that is gotten out OF
a dress that comes out of week end
suitcase demanding no more than
soft breeze to blow out the wrinkles.
House guests who do not upset the
domestic machinery of their hostess
by demanding an electric iron at once
are always appreciated by her, and
usually are sure to be asked again.
Necklines that are different hint at
their importance in the new scheme
of things. The frock sketched shows
a broad sweep across the 'front.' ex-
employing the bateau line. which is
rumored as significant for Fall. With
it we must look for the kimono
sleeve treatment that is claSSically
allied to it. Here we have merely
faint suggestion of the two, carried
out with lines that will be becoming
to all types and ages Of women. The
skirt arrives at its fullness in
modiSh and effective way, without in
volving methods that are complicated
and which will later require time for
upkeep,

frock comes in chalk white and

Three clubs is set either two or three
tricks. depending on the defense
worthwhile penalty, even if South is
afraid to double.
West promptly doubled South's two
diamond bid. North passed. AL
though East doesn't like the situation
particularly and is not at all sure
of set, he should pass. West, by
her double, showed that the hands
were misflt in clubs. He knows that
they are misfit in hearts. A rescue
will probably be doubled and set for a
severe loss. Even if South makes two
diamonds, doubled, it won't give her
game.
The double was, therefore, passed
all around. West confidently opened
the three of clubs. South played low
from the dummy and won East's nine
spot with her ace. She then led the
ace and king of diamonds and re-
turned club. West discarded a small
heart. East won the trick with the
jack of clubs and led his singleton
heart. Souths nine was covered with
the ten by West, and the trick won
with the jack in dummy. Mrs. Con-
servative now led the queen of clubs
from the board, East covered with the
king, and she trumped in her own
hand. West properly refused to over
trump, discarding another heart.
South returned a heart, winning
with the ace in dummy. The good ten
of clubs was led, on which South dis
carded her last heart. West trumped
with the ten of diamonds, led the
queen of diamonds and her high
heart, which South trumped. At this
point South was on lead, and the last
three cards in the four hands were as
follows:

Naturally, South had to lose the
last three tricks. She had previously
lost a club and two diamonds. Re
suit: A loss of 200 points.
East drew out a handkerchief and
fervently wiped the sweat of his brow.
What a close double that was!"
he remarked feeIing1y.
1T shouldn't have been," retorted
West with some asperity.
"All right! All right! We set them,
didn't we? Whose deal Is it? Mr..
Conservatives? Let's get going"

lief and the right to live for themselves and their

What was the crime of the II Hilsboro de-

leading peaceful protest demonstrations against the
fascist edict promulgated by the Hillsboro Town
Council abrogating the right of workers to free
speech and assemblage. Behind the falling of these
leaders of the unemployed of Mother Bloor and

plot to strike terror into the ranks Of the working

privng the toing of their militant leaders.

YCL. Convention Maps Program of Work to Win Youth

youth committees, sport teams and
regular meetings of the youth"
A special task of the youth is the
penetration into the 1,4o0 forced
labor camps with their 100000 young
workers under the control of the
army.
I'm the period of the past year
your National Committee declared
Comrade Green, took the initiative
in helping to develop broad youth
movement against war and fascism
=. we were able to organize together
with the other mass organizations,
a far better showing for the U. S.
Congress Against War. Here more
than 500 youth delegates met in
special session, adopted their own
manifesto which was subsequently
printed for mass distribution. A
national youth committee was
elected by this youth conference
which after the Congress began to
seriously undertake the building of
broad united front anti-war
movement.
These efforts received wide re-
Spouse among new strata of youth
never before reached by our move
ment. Conferences we're held in
Chicago, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, New
York, Cleveland, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston,
Hartford, Milwaukee and Syracuse.
All of these conferences were held
on a united front basis and resulted
in strengthening existing youth Sec
tions of the American League
Against War and Fascism, or in
establishing new sections. The con-
ference in New York, Chicago, New
Jersey and Boston were especially
broad in character. These four con-
ferences alone represented some
100000 organized youth.
Simultaneous with these city
and state conferences, the student
