Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Oh, that curiosity of Peter Rabbit
Was there ever anything like it? 1t
gave Peter no peace at all. No sooner
had he found out about one thing
than he was just bubbling over with
desire to know about something
else. It got him into all kinds OF
trouble. There was a time that he
found . queer looking box sitting
Just outside one of his runways. 1t
had door and the door was open in
q most inviting way. Inside, way
in the back, was a bit OF carrot
fastened to a stick. 1t was q queer
place for q carrot to be. Peter didn t
want it, not the least bit. for his
stomach was full. But he was curl
GUS about that bit Of carrot. 1t
looked like q real carrot. but who
ever heard of q carrot In such a
place as that? He must find out II
it was real carrot.
SO Peter stole inside the box with
the inviting door and nibbled the
carrot just out Of curiosity and
nothing more. Bang! The door
had closed. and do what he would
Peter could not open it. So all day
he had sat in the dark in a miser-
able little heap. so frightened that
he could hardly breathe with any
comfort. Then he had heard heavy
footsteps coming nearer and nearer,
and he had shivered and shaken
with fright. Nearer they came.
Something hit the box and knocked
it over and broke the fast closed
door so that Peter was able to crawl
out. Peter had lodged into the Old
Briar Patch, where he felt safe.
Pretty soon his curiosity had led
him to peep out. There lay the box
in which he had been caught, and
Peter knew then it was trap. And
there was one of Farmer Brown S
cows. which had accidentally kicked
the trap over and so set Peter free.
Ever since then Peter has had a
warm place in his heart for cows.
Then there was the time Peter
had seen Reddy Fox carefully bury
something in sandy spot out on
the Green Meadows. OF course, 1t
didn't concern Peter in the least
1t was none of Peters business what
Reddy Fox might choose to bury
out on the Green Meadows. But
Peter couldn't rest until he had
found out. So, no sooner was Reddy
Fox out of sight than away went
Peter Rabbit. lipperty -lipperty- lip
straight over to where Reddy had
been at work. 1t was a long way
from the safe Old Briar Patch, and
Peter should have known better than
to run such risk. Hardly had he
reached the spot where Reddy Fox
had been at work than, happening
to look up. whom should he see but
old Granny Fox stealing up on him
through the grass. Peter forgot all
his curiosity. He just started for
the Old Briar Patch as fast as his
long legs would take him, and 1t
seemed to him that with every Jump
he could feel the claws of old Gran
ny Fox on the white patch of his
trousers.
But Peter never seemed to learn.
and was just as curious as ever. As
son as his curiosity was satisfied
about one thing there was some
thing else he just had to know
about. OF Mistah Buzzard had no
sooner finished telling how Mistah
Mocking Bird had come by his Won
derful voice than Peter was all ready
with another question.
IF yo' please. Mistah Buzzard.
will you tell us why your head is
red?" asked Peter Rabbit.

new Congress to wipe out entirely

Apropos of the Treasury financial
conferences, the North Dakota Sem
ator reclared it was too silly to
contemplate" that Great Britain was
q good financial risk as Secretary
Morgenthau and Secretary of Com
merce Jones have said:
ANY dollars we lay on the line
we will never see again." he claimed.
Expressing the view that "the bill
lions already loaned to Britain are
already gone" Senator Nye added
that the talks between Secretary
Morgenthau and Sir Frederick,
which opened Friday, were "the first
step" toward a British loan.
In the opposite camp, however,
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah,
said he believed that "the Govern
ment should extend to Great Britain
any credits that may be imperatively
needed" and added that planes, ships
and other war equipment should be
supplied her in the greatest possible
amounts.
''It would be terrible catastrophe
II Britain should be defeated" he
asserted. THE world under the rule
OF Hitler, Stain, Mussolini and
Japan would be an enslaved world,
I dark and tragic world"

One administration Senator, who
asked anonymity, said he believed
any British request for a loan would
be premature at present.
This tailed with assertions of
highly placed administrative aides
that two-fold plan Of aid under
discussion called for the British to
use their own investment holdings
here to buy war supplies, and for
the United States to advance loans
only when those resources were
exhausted.
Earlier estimates by Government
experts rated British assets ade-
Quate to meet the bill for another
year or more of American pur-
chases. These sources viewed the
present Morgenthau-Sir Frederick
talks as a psychological prelude to
some future overture for financial
aid Nevertheless, if the talks should
result in some agreement, however
tentative, they would provide big
boost for British morale, it was
conceded.
Some congressional quarters, an
ticipating eventual loan requests,
have suggested as collateral tenn
porary control of British possessions

ers have advocated that the pos
sessions be turned over to the
United States for the cash advanced

crewmen were sure other British
