Bedtime Stories
Yowler Discovers Peter.

those wonderful ears Of Lghtfoot's
would fail to hear him.
It took Yowler almost no time at
all to look the situation over and de-
eide Just how best to steal up on
Peter Rabbit. He would have to 60
back and circle around. It wouldn't
do to try to cross that open place in
the moonlight. 1t wouldn't do to ap-
pear in the moonlight at all. He must
keep in the Black Shadows and be-
hind logs, stumps, trees, brush-any-
thing that would keep him from being
seen.
Peter was sitting out in the open,
beside stump. BY circling around so
as to get that stump between Peter
and himself Yowler was sure that he
could creep within easy jumping dis
tance. Then nothing could save Peter.
He was sure of that.
"All ask is to get within jumping
distance" said Yowler to himself.
"Yes, sir, that's all I ask"
1t looked as If Yowler would be able
to do it without any trouble. Peter
was so intent on what Paddy the Bea-
yer was doing that he had forgotten
everything else. You see, that tree
had been cut through so far that it
was almost ready to fall and Peter
was wondering which way it would
fall. It had been cut all around and
Peter couldn't be sure which way it
would fall. So, forgetful of everything
else. he watched Paddy and the tree.
Meanwhile Yowler had circled
around and had started to creep up
behind that stump on the other side
OF which sat Peter. 1t looked bad for
Peter. 1t did so.

Time Laughs
BY GEORGE ELLISTON.

Time buries all the bitter and
The Joy, the spiteful and
The fair and bright. and then at last
The dreams command.
Time buries deep the little griefs,
The big and solemn pain;
Now it is Spring, now Summertime,
Then Autumn with cold rain,
And Winter; he who comes so far,
To Winter, measures up
The this and that which he has knowa
Within the curious cup.
Time laughs and measures not at all
Time laughs; a grain Of sand
Is less than all We know or do
Or understand.

3. The follower tends to become a
servant. He seeks security in doing
the will Of superior.
4. The follower has given up the
privilege of thinking independently
He aligns himself with constituted
authority and cudgels his brain no
longer about perplexities.
The preponderance Of mere follow
ers in the general population has been
cited by some social psychologists as
the reason why man Is q machine.
That Is, why society as whole can
be manipulated. The leader merely
manipulates the mental levers and
gears, and society follows. OF course
the manipulation must know ahead
Of time just when to start the oper-
ations. He must start with a few
well-known groups. When they get
going, the majority will fall in line.

ETER RABBIT Is inclined to
- be needless. He is inclined to
be careless. He does foolish
i things. And Peter is not one
who can afford to be needless or care
less or do foolish things. No, sir, he
isn't. But it seems to be the way OF
life that those who cannot afford
to be needless and careless and do
foolish things are the very ones you
most often find doing those things.
Peter, having nothing to do himself.
had been watching Paddy the Beaver
work. Paddy was cutting down a tree.
It was rather a large tree and cut
ting it down required lot Of work.
But that would be only the begin
ming of the work, for the branches
would have to be cut from that tree
and then the trunk would have to be

cut into logs that could be pushed or
pulled or rolled to the water and
foated down to the food pile. Just
thinking of all that work gave Peter
q headache He couldn't understand
Paddy at all, for Paddy had just said
that work is the greatest fun in the
world.
Peter was turning this statement
over and over in his mind. 1t didn't
make sense to Peter. He was thinking
so hard that he forgot in a measure
where he was. He moved without first
making sure that it was safe to move.
He hoped right out into the moon
light. Lightfoot the Deer, who was
standing near, slowly walked down to
the waters edge and drank. Peter con-
tinued to sit out in plain sight in the
moonlight. Paddy continued to drive
his great cutting teeth into the wood
Of that tree and pry out big chips.
Now when Peter hoped out into
the moonlight Yowler the Bobcat saw
him, Of course He could hardly have
missed seeing him. And When ne saw
Peter there was a sudden change in
Yowler's plans, a very sudden change.
Yowler is especially fond OF Rabbit
dinner
This looks like my chance" thought
Yowler. Long Ears (of course he
meant Peter seems to have forgot
ten that he isn't in bramble- -tangle
or the old Briar-patch. hope he will
continue to forget. I wish Lightfoot
the Deer would go on about his busi-
ness. If he should happen to suspect
that I am about ne would warn the
others"
AS if to make that wish come true
Iightfoot began slowly to walk along
the edge of Paddy's pond. He didn't
80 far before stopping, but he went
far enough for Yowler's purpose. He
now could move with little danger Of
being seen by Lightfoot The wind
was the wrong way for Lightfoot to
smell him, and Yowler was sure that
he could move so noiselessly that even

FEDERAL CURB URGED
TO SAVE STREAM FISH
Open Sewers Elimination and Re-
form of Industrial Pollution
of Rivers Asked.

Federal control of stream pollution
as a means of saving fish life was
strongly recommended last night by
Kenneth A. Reid of the Pennsylvania
Board of Fish Commissioners at a
meeting of the Izaak Walton League
of America in the Raleigh Hotel.
Elimination of open sewers and
gradual reform of industrial pollu-
ton was recommended as the only
means of achieving this end. He also
said there must be more true sports
men, willing to cut down on the
number of fish per man, so there will
be more for all.
The same points were stressed by
Frank Bell, commissioner of fisheries,
and Miles Flynn of the New York
league.

FOR POLITICAL ADVISERS

q. o. r. and Liberty Leagusrs
Could Balance Budget.

By the Associated Press.
A WORD tax" on those giving bad
advice on running fiscal affairs of the
Government was suggested to Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday by J. David
Stern, New York and Philadelphia
publisher.
"I think" he said to reporters later
with q smile. that we ought to tax
advisers to the Government according
to the percentage Of times they are
wrong.
"If they are wrong half the time,
tax them so cents word for the ad-
vice. BY this method think most Of
the Republican orators and Liberty
Leaguers would balance the budget.
They have been wrong every time in
the past"

The habit he gave them, and which is worn by members of the order, closely re- sembled the costume of the poor shepherds in Italy. It consisted of a brown habit of coarse cloth with pointed hood or capuche attached, and @ white cincture or cord around the waist.
 In l2l6 missioners were dispatch ed to France, Spain, Germany, England and other parts of Italy. The order grew rapidly, especially in England and the first convents were founded in Canterbury and Northampton in 1920.
 Aided Catholicism
 The personality of St. Francis and his doctrine of poverty were so striking they have left permanent impress on Catholicism. The order grew rapidly and 10 years after it's establishment had more than 5000 members. As missionaries these friars have gone to the ends of the earth. To them is due the popular izing of such devotions as the Sta tons of the Cross and the Christi mas crib.
 st. Francis of Assist, founder of the Francisco Order, died in the year 1226 after receiving the sacred Stigmata. No order in the church has surpassed the Franciscans in zeal for She propagation of the gospel. The order has given i've popes, more than 50 cardinals, and an immense number of patriarchs and bishops to the church.
