Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.


If there is any one person whom
Peter Rabbit fears more than an
other 1t is Shadow the Weasel. At
the mere mention of Shadows name,
Peter will turn quite pale. You see,
from most of his enemies the dear
Old Brier Patch is a place of abso-
lutte safety. Or, if he be found out
side the dear Old Brier Patch, a
hole in the ground or a hollow log
will protect him, because most of
his enemies are too big to get in
after him. But Shadow the Weasel
can go anywhere Peter can. The
brambles of the dear Old Brier
Patch have no terrors for Shadow.
oh, my, no! He is so slim that it
Is easier for him to run along Peters
private little paths than 1t is for
Peter himself to-

the purpose of the Presidents to AFRO
gate dictator power, to flout congress
or to goose-step these United States
Perhaps his reason for this omission
was that the opposition party's press
agents did not think of it. or-more
likely-there was period of com
mon sense and an appreciation of the
absurdity of such a theory, in those
simple old days.
Incidentally, in nearly all cases tho
army and navy officers detailed for
civilian jobs get only their service pay
and not the ordinarily higher stipends
Of their temporary jobs-and most of
them would rather remain with their
own commands or divisions than un-
dertake the new duties.
So President Roosevelt could not
be arraigned for extravaganza in this
connection and, as the chief tenet Of
the Republican creed is that ne must
never be allotted decent motive for
anything he does, the theory that hd
wanted to keep politics out of relief
was likewise unthinkable-hence the
alternative of ascribing tine dictator
motive.

HOUSE DEBATE
OPENS TUESDAY
BULLETIN

WASHINGTON - The house
rules committee Monday voted TO
bring the neutrality bill to the
house floor Tuesday under a rule
which opponents charged was a
vicious gag"
WASHINGTON - The house
Monday prepared for consideration
Of the neutrality bill Tuesday by
agreeing unanimously to give the
rules committee until midnight to
file a rule providing that the bill
be sent to conference.
The death of Rep. Chester c.
Bolton, r., Ohio, had complicated
the situation. The house wished
to adjourn out of respect to Bolton
but under house rules could not be-
gin the neutrality debate Tuesday
unless the rules were filed today.
Granting Of a unanimous consent
request by Majority Leader Sam
Rayburn, D., Texas, removed that
complication.
The nine-man Oklahoma Demo-
cratic house delegation, at a meet
ing just before the house convened,
agreed unanimously to support the
administration bill, members said.
When the house last voted on the
arms embargo issue three members
voted against the administration,
and four in favor of repeal of the
arms embargo.
