mily are worried when the job of the
head of the, household is threatened,
whether the threat is seriously made
or not.
Government employees on civil ser
vice merit basis have certain a.
mount of protection and are not so
badly upset as political appointees in
the emergency organizations, created
under the New Deal.
Still, there are ways of getting rid
of civil servants, even.
Besides, the emergency workers,
with no protection at all, are quite an
army in numerical strength. And they
have political strength, too.
NO SAFETY In CIVIL SERVICE
It isn't quite correct, either, to say
that a political appointee is less for
midably intrenched than an appointee
under the merit system.
The merit appointee perhaps has
been here a long time, has outlived
his political Influence, if he ever had
any, in his home community. And de-

|HILDREN'S HISTORY
THORNTON w. BURGESS
HOW NIMBLEHEELS GOT
 AWAY

DETER RABBIT was all a-shake. It was partly excitement, partly fear, and partly hope. You remember how he had gone back to the dear old Brier Patch without a doubt In his mind that little Nimbleheels had been caught and carried away to the Green Forest by Iooty the Owl. You re, member how sad Peter was and how he had sighed and sighed again. and how thin. high. squeaky voice had asked if he was in pain.
 That voice made Peter jump. It sounded exactly like the voice of lit tie Nimbleheels. If Peter hadn't been absolutely sure that by this time Nim- bleheels must be in the stomach of Hooty the owl he would have said that this was the voice of Nimbe- heels. But how could it be? It couldn't. His ears must have fooled him or else-"WhO are youT whis- pered Peter Are you a ghost?'
 "I should say notw exclaimed the same thin, high, squeaky voice indg- nantly. "There is no ghost about me! For goodness sake, what is the matter with you, Peter Rabbit" Out in front of Peter hopped Nimbleheels.
 Peter backed away hurriedly. "Go away" said he. "This isn't you. It can't be. You were caught by Hooty the Owl and carried away for his din ner. You can't be in his stomach and here, too, so this can't be you. Go away. please"
 "Pinch yourself and wake up, Peter." squeaked Nimbleheels. Then he began to laugh with all his might. Peter drowned.
 q don't see anything to laugh att said he rather grossly, for he still couldn't believe what his eyes saw.
 Nimbeheels kept right on laughing until he was quite out of breath. "l may not be myself" said he. but I'm quite sure I'm not anybody else. As for Hooty the Owl. if his stoma ch feels any fuller on my account I'm willing to make him the same kind of meal every day. Go over and ask him. I'd like to know what he says, Just touch me. Peter. You'll find I'm real enough"
 Very cautiously Peter reached out and touched Nimbleheels Then his face cleared and he began to laugh anything in all my life than was
