WOOdbury Cracked Up

 Getting of good in the second ii1- ming, the Ansonia club countered with three runs, two of which the Litchfielders got back in the next session, which was their limit for the day, while Ansonia sewed up the ball game in the fifth and eighth innings with two runs in each frame, Les Hoyle giving the Cow boys just three hits, while striking out IS batters and getting two hits himself. Johnny Jablonowski, fig ured as Q sure winner for Litchfieid was belted hard for seven innings and had to retire in favor of Lee Porter. Fitzpatrick of Ansonia got three hits, scored two runs and was all over the infield, making fine stops. Summary:

you. Perhaps, under his black and
white uniform, could you become so
very intimate as to investigate this
matter, you would realize what q
plump little rascal the downy is, and
that would account for his energy, as
well as happy disposition.
There are five cousins Of the downy
to be found scattered over temperate
North America. All Of them are ar
dent grub hunters. They are very
fond Of insect eggs, too.
Perhaps you know this little fellow
by the name Of Tommy Woodpecker
or the Black and White Driller. He
is about 6la inches long and always
dressed in q handsome suit of black
with a white shirt and few white
dots scattered over his glossy uni
form. There is broad center stripe
OF white down his back. There Is a
saucy touch of red on his crown. His
wife and sisters have white on theirs
and this is how you tell them apart.
The open woodlands, or even where
there are maple trees along the streets,
are the joyous hunting grounds Of
these busy drillers.
Old trees that have been followed
out are ideal spots for their nests to
be located. Down on hard mattress
Of chips will be placed the white eggs
four to six Of them.
| In the Winter. when sleet and ice
covers the bark of the tree, place suet
or seeds for your little neighbors. They
appreciate such thoughtfulness, as
sure you.

Bedtime Stories
Peter Gains Courage

II wonder II Tommy will hnd any

Peter. II suspect he will. ! suspect
that II I went over there would hnd
something, too. Farmer Browns Boy
never has failed to think Of u In
hard times. and I don't believe he will
now. There goes Sammy Jay over
there I wonder If Bowser the Hound
and Flip the Terrier are out this
morning. If was sure that they are
not outside I would be tempted to
60 over there"
The longer Peter sat looking over
toward Farmer Browns the more he
wanted to run over there. and the
faster his courage grew. He looked
over toward the Old Pasture where
Reddy Fox lives. There was no sign
of Reddy or Mrs. Reddy.
IT don't believe they'll even try to
hunt this morning" thought Peter.
1T is too slippery for them to run
fast. They couldn't catch me II they
tried
He looked all around up in the air.
He saw only the blue, blue sky and
jolly, round. bright Mr.. Sun smiling
his broadest. There was no enemy to
be seen there. II can get over there
safely" thought Peter And when I
get there the only real danger will
be from those Dogs. There would be
plenty Of hiding places over there II
it were not for this snow. I suppose
the Old Stonewall Is covered. could
always count on that for safe places.
I wish I knew just how things are
over there"
What are you thinking about?" de-
manded little Mrs. Peter from Just
back Of him.
Nothing much. except that I'm
hungry" replied Peter.
Little Mrs. Peter looked at him sus-
piciously. 1T you were thinking Of
going over there the best thing you
can do is to forget it," said she. I'VE
may have to 60 hungry for while
here in the dear Old Briar patch. but
we'll be safe, and that is the impor-
tant thing"
Don't you think that getting
enough to eat Is Important" demand
ed Peter.
Certainly" replied Mrs Peter, but
not important enough to risk ones
life for until one really has to-"
I'm not going to starve." declared
Peter and suddenly started for Farmer
Browns.

THE desk sergeant picked up the
telephone after the second ring.
He listened attentively and after q
minute or two said. 20. K" and hung
up. The sergeant then called Detective
Sergt Smith and gave him details OF
the case Smith muttered about go
ing out on stormy, rainy night and
left headquarters. He sloshed through
the mud, 80 minutes later, up to the
door Of q university sorority house.
Smith removed his raincoat and rub
bers in the small spotless corridor
leading to the parlor. He then walked
in, presented his credentials and asked
to see the safe which had been robbed.
He looked over the scene of the crime
with the house manager and the house
boy who were in the room and noticed
q button on the floor about feet from
the safe. He pocketed the button, ex-
amined the interior of the safe, and
then called several Of the house resi-
dents for questioning. He found that
all residents had been on the upper
floors since evening meal time. The
only persons on the main floor were
the house manager and house boy.
These two were questioned by Smith.
Neither of them had lost q button,
the house boy said he had discovered
the robbery on his return from the
drug store about half an hour before.
when he had heard o "clang" such as
might be made by . safe door, and
ran in to investigate The house man
ager claimed to have run into the room
right after the house boy did. They
both said they had been in the room
from the time the robbery was dis
covered. Smith arrested the two for
the robbery. Why?

il an optimist. This means
that Tommy Is one Of those
i who always see the bright side
Of things, and when things are bad
are always sure that they will soon be
better. On this particular morning
when he visited the dear Old Briar-
patch things were about as bad As they
could be. Anyway, this Is the way
most of the little people OF the Ice
covered Green Meadows and Green
Forest felt about it. There had been
an ice storm and everything. even the
tiniest twigs of the bushes apd trees,
was covered with ice. This meant that
for those who were not meat eaters
there was no food, and even the meat
eaters would have trouble in getting
about to hunt for their meals.
Tommy Tit had had no breakfast.
You know, in Winter he eats the eggs
OF plant lice, fastened to the twigs
Of trees, ready to hatch in the Spring.
Also he eats certain seeds. Now he
couldn't get any Of these things, for
they were sealed In ice. Despite this
and the fact that he knew he would
be able to live only q little while un-
less he got food, his Dee. dee. dee"
was as CHEEKY as If there was no such
thing as cold and hunger and trouble
in all the Great World. He wasn't In
the least discouraged. He was sure
that he would find q breakfast some
where. When he left the dear Old
Briar-patch he flew in the direction OF
a5rmer Browns house.
Peter Rabbit watched him out OF
sight. Somehow Tommy Tits brief
visit had completely changed things
for Peter. He. too. was hungry. The
bark that might have furnished him
q meal was cased in ice. He had been
discouraged and glum. He could see
no good in anything. Now he was
Q little ashamed Of himself. II such
q tiny fellow as Tommy Tit could
have the courage to face things cheer
fully, he, Peter, certainly should be
able to. He could go longer without
food than Tommy could. and if worst
came to worst, he could break some
OF that ice of and get little bark.
And the Great World, shining and
sparkling. really was very. very beau
tiful. just as Tommy Tit had said.
Peter hoped to the edge Of the Old
Briar patch and looked across the
glistening surface Of the Green Mead
ows toward Fsrmer Browns.
