Fortune OF GUMS
NOU Near $500. 900

NEW YORK DR.. Allan Roy
Dafoe flew into town Wednesday
for a brief visit before going back
to Canada to make his annual
Christmas appearance as Santa
Claus for the Dionne quintuplets.
DR.. Dafoe said the children were
growing rapidly. were all healthy
and were learning how to read and
write and ice skate on their pri-
vate rink.
He estimated the wealth OF the
five little girls at about $500, 900,
which is invested at three per cent.
This, he said, is not enough to pay
the normal expenses of about
$4,000 a year for the children.

Bedtime Stories

Peter Rabbit is funny fellow.
Yes, sir, he certainly is. But there
are many people in this world just
like him. 1t seems as if they cannot
keep away from trouble when they
have the chance.
Now. of course, it was perfectly
splendid of Peter to save the eggs
of Mrs. Slow Poke the Box Turtle
the way he did, and for him to feel
that he must stay near them to
watch over them so that no harm
might come to them. And it was
perfectly natural that he should feel
greatly relieved when the raindrops
beat down the earth 50 that even he
could not tell just where Mrs. Slow

Poke had buried those eggs. This
meant that he could go home to the
dear Old Brier Patch with an easy
mind. And this is what he did.

all he would have kept away from

course. Any one with the least bit

Peter didn't. No, sir, Peter didn't.
but then 1t sometimes seems as If
Peter hadn't common sense. This is
because curiosity 20 often takes its

place. He knew that both Unc' Billy
Possum and Jimmy Skunk suspected
that Mrs. Slow Poke had buried her
eggs somewhere about that spot and
that both were likely to return there
to look for them, for both are very
fond of eggs. So, knowing these
things, you would suppose that Peter
would have kept away.
But curiosity was too much for
common sense, and Peter was back
there near the bramble-tangle on
the edge of the Green Forest the
very next day. He wanted to know
If those eggs were still safe. Now

that the ground had been beaten
down hard by the raindrops, he
couldn't be sure of the exact spot
where those eggs were buried, which
made him feel very foolish. But he
knew near enough and at once
began to look for signs of digging.
If there were no signs of digging
anywhere near he would be sure that
the eggs were still safe
So busy was Peter searching for
signs that he forgot to watch out
for others, and he jumped almost
out of his skin when a voice close
behind him said: We'll, Peter, what

mered Peter and stopped.
Because you know where those
eggs were buried, and your curiosity
has brought you back here to see if
Unc' Billy or I have found them,
snapped Jimmy Skunk. Now. I am
going to satisfy your curiosity by
telling you that we haven't found
them, and you are going to satisfy
my curiosity by telling me just where
they are"
Peter started as If to run.
"Don'tl" commanded Jimmy
sharply.

Nothing much" replied Peter
promptly, for the speaker was Jimmy
Skunk, and you know Peter always
replies promptly and politely to
Jimmy Skunk when he is near as he
was then. II was just looking
around to see if you or Unc' Billy
Possum had been digging around

Jimmy Skunk's eyes twinkled.

truth and nothing but the truth.
Where are those eggs of Mrs. Slow

He's Grateful

Please permit me through
your newspaper to publicly
thank the Community Chest, its
workers, and those who gave
gifts that have permitted my
wife and I to again face the
struggle Of life.
A few weeks ago my wife and
I needed food and shelter-I
have been out of work a long
time. The Travellers Aid gave
us our needs.
Then it was found that my
wife needed to undergo a dan
gerous operation. The Health
S Mrity Administration ar
ranged for her to be entered at
the George Washington Univer-
sity Hospital. The operation
was an unqualified success,
thanks to DR.. j. N. Novick and
members Of the hospital staff.
I only wish to be given the
opportunity to make a sacrifice
to show my gratitude. I only
hope that I soon get a job so
that I could give and give until
it hurt and I assure you it would
be a pleasant hurt. With Spe-
cial thanks to Mrs. Dunlop, I
wish all Happy New Year.

Many theories have been ad'
vanced to explain our depres-
sions, blaming them on new and
improved tools, more power, over
production, the Sixty Families,
the Republican party, etc. EN-
ployers seem to have overlooked
the fact that the history and
statistics of every depression
in this country have shown in
creased wages and shorter
working hours to be a necessary
step toward recovery. I believe

tical solution for our unemploy'
