Weekly PGydays


Pro: There are any num-
ber of reasons why weekly
pay should be installed in the
Federal service, particularly
for those ir the lower salary
grades. But I believe the out
standing benefit would be
the elimination of that long
wait before each payday, that
monctonous stretch Of days
in which, their important
bills paid, employees so often
find they haven't the change
for even a movie. Then too,
a weekly payday would offset
much of the usual monotony
Of Government offices" -

Con: "Anent your item

The fairy looked puzzled. She sat
down In the rose and thought very
hard while Hulda wiped her eyes.
Suddenly the fairy popped up. II
know" she said. you could live
with Santa Claus in Toyland. He's
SO kind you'd be happy"
Hulda looked frightened. Then
she smiled. why, I've always
wanted to go far away. My father,
the King, is always sailing far away.
And when he's not sailing, he's rid
ing far away The Queen won't let
me 60 with him, and when he's gone
she sends me to the scullery to work
hard all day"
Yes, we've heard" said the fairy.
You'll be happier in Toyland, and
the woodspeople will help you go
there"
But while they were talking they
failed to see wrinkled witch 60
riding by on a snail. She had lis
tened and then Uttered through her
snagged, yellow teeth. "Oh. III go
tell the Queen And that's what
she did. She whipped up the snail
she was riding, and went rustling
through the woods to the palace.
She hitched her snail at the door,
and rode right into the throne room
on her broom. There she lit on the
Queens shoulder.
The Queen wasn't much surprised
because mean people see a great deal
of witches. So she snapped, well,
what now?"
THE Princess Hulda is planning
to run away whispered the witch.
"Wha-a-a-t!" snarled the Queen.
I'll box her ears. Where is she?"
Down in the pine woods" said
the witch.
Men, shouted the Queen, bang
ing on her throne with her fists,
bring me the Princess from the
pine woods. Quick!"
The palace guards rushed out so
fast they stumbled over their spears.
They ran through the rose garden
down by the pond and into the
woods. But Hulda and the rose fairy
heard them coming Hulda trem-
bled. but the fairy tapped en- the
ground three times and through the
treetops came a whole flock Of wind
| fairies trailing long, gray wells be-
hind them. They made sound
like long. silky whisper. "Wh-wh-
u-u-sh- h-sh!"
Here, Sisters" said the rose fairy.
Pick up the Princess quick and take
her to Toyland. The Queens men
are after her"
So just as the Queens soldiers
came stomping through the woods
Hulda was picked up by a hundred
small. gray arms and lifted high into
the sky. She was quite frightened,
and held on tight to a dozen little
fairies. But they chuckled and said:
Bounce around. You won't fall"
So she bounced and fell as though
she we're riding a feather bed. She
was so comfortable she peered down
over the cloud of fairy wings to the
earth below. 1t was a wonderful
sight Tall towers, wide rivers, great
green woodlands and soft, green
fields. On and on she rode

By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

In Tasmania and Southern Aus
tralia there are burrowing animals
known as wombats. They are
strange little animals, the largest
Of which is not over SO inches long.
They dig burrows and in them hide
during the daytime. When the
twilight arrives, they saunter forth
to find the food they crave-roots,
tender roots that are close to the
surface. As 1t happens, these roots
as rule are not so vital to the
tree as the tap roots, which the
wombat most often passes by.
The cousin to the common wombat
is known as the hairy-nose. It pre-
fers to live In the southern part of
Australia. It Is smaller than the
common wombat, but in habits and
behavior there is little or no diff
ference.
The hair coat is coarse and of a
yellowish tinge. Much black Is added
to the general yellow cast and for
this reason the wombat Is not easily
seen as 1t creeps forth and moves
carefully among the growth.
Wombats have a badger-like head
and their expression is that of a

THE LITTLE PRINCESS.

Once upon a time in far-away
land lived a little yellow-haired
Princess who was both very, very
poor and very, very rich. She was
very, very poor because her mother
had died and her father had mar
ried the mean and selfish Queen
from the next kingdom. And she
was very, very rich because she
lived in a palace and had hundreds
of dolls and two pure white ponies
all her own.
Her name was Hulda. She was
slim and fair and graceful. Her yel-
low curls hung to her waist. and her
blue eyes shone very bright when

concerned about its neighbors'
actions. For the pouched mole is
out hunting for insects at the same
time as the wombat is having a fine
time exercising and feasting.
Many have found this little animal
to be charming pet. Even in cap
tivity it does go after soil for dig
ging purposes as if it were dependent
upon its own resources for shelter
and livelihood. However, 1t has
a good memory and soon returns to
where it has found friends and food.
The pelt of the Tasmanian wom-
bat is always in demand where
strong, non-destructible covering
for floors is needed. It is said by
many that it is impossible to wear
through a wombats hide. Wom-
bats are not given to much CONVERSE
ton and make little noise as far as
1t has been known among those
familiar with the habits of these
little strange folks.

starts she wasn't smiling at all. She
was sitting on a rock in her fathers
woods weeping so that her pretty
white chiffon dress was quite damp.
She had taken of her bright red
shoes and thrown them as far as she
could.
But as she wept fairy lighted on
the heart Of wild rose at her side,
and said, What is 50 very wrong?"
Hulda peeked through her white
hands and sobbed, She's so mean

Coffee Brews Fioht

There was a storm in a rejected
cup of coffee for Abel Salaam
Gomaa, a Bedouin from Upper
Egypt. but he did not realize it until
he and six of his kinsmen landed in
Cairo hospital suffering from serious
injuries. He refused the coffee at
wedding two years ago. The guest
offering the drink regarded the re-
fusal as an insult and swore revenge.
Recently he recruited fellow tribes
men and attacked Abdel Salaam,
who rallied his kinsmen During
the free fight police arrested eight
