Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

| While Chatterer was making him.
| self very much at home in the
house of his cousin, Happy Jack
the Gray Squirrel. Happy Jack was
snooping around this way and snoop-
ing around that way and snooping
around every which way trying to
| find one of Chatterer's storehouses.
| You know almost always Chatter er
has more than one. Sometimes he
has nearly a dozen. 1t was quite
by accident that at last Happy Jack
did find one of Chatterer's store
houses. 1t also was quite by chance
that this happened to be the largest
of Chatterer's storehouses.
Happy Jack peeped in, then drew
a long breath. That storehouse was
quite as well filled as was his own.
There were hickory nuts there, great,
fat hickory nuts. The very sight
of them made Happy Jacks mouth
water. There were some brown
chestnuts, more than Happy Jack
had in his storehouse, and there was
yellow corn, just such nice yellow
corn as Happy Jack himself had.
Farmer Browns Boy has treated
Chatterer just as well as he did
me-" thought Happy Jack. my,
how good those hickory nuts look!
believe I'll eat one. Chatterer
won't miss one. Besides, if he does,
I'll give him one of mine" So
Happy Jack picked out the biggest,
fattest hickory nut he could find
and then went off a little way to
eat it.
Now it takes some time to open
and eat a fat hickory nut. All the
time Happy Jack was doing this he
was thinking. He was thinking and
listening to old Mr.. Temptation.
Some of those hickory nuts are
bigger and fatter than any you've
got" whispered old Mr. Temptation.
mo such thing" Said Happy Jack
inside himself. They are just the
same as the ones I've got"
you know very well that this nut
you are eating is the sweetest one
you ever tasted whispered old Mr.
Temptation. There must be lot
more just like it. Why don't you
help yourself while you have the
chance? You know your cousin
Chatterer would if he were in your
place"
II don't care if he would" said
Happy Jack. THAT is no reason
why should do such a thing. I'm
not going to listen to you, SO
there!"
"Ha, ha, hal" chuckled old Mr..
Temptation "I see you've finished
that nut. Let's go get another and
talk it over"
So Happy Jack did go get another
fat hickory nut and while he ate it
he listened to old Mr.. Temptation.

ture is dignified, graceful and adapts
itself either to informal living or
more formal surroundings. Duncan

Mahogany was used almost entirely.
Characteristic motifs include: The
American eagle, stars, stripes and

this power to control and manage was

The completion of q new $4,000
addition TO hangar No. I at the
Billings Municipal airport marks
another forward step la the rapid
growth Of the field which provides
facilities ranking with these Of
many larger fields throughout the
country. Construction Of the new
hangar addition meets a Iong-felt
need at the airport, which has
rapidly expanded since &c was first
established on the FiHnr0cks north
Of the city nearly ~ years ago.
The addition adjoining the south end
of hangar No. Is 30 by 50 feet and
provides space for housing 10 to IA
light planes The building Is OF REIN
forced concrete construction with a
corrugated metal roof and Is o dupli-
cate OF the hangar building 1t adiolns.
Billings Commercial club members
financed the construction of the new
hangar addition by underwriting a
loan made by the three Billings banks.
approximately rs club members sub
Scribed to the project. The land for
the hangar site was provided by the
city, which eventually win take over
the new building.
TO Apply On Debt
ALI income from the operation Of
the enlarged hangar VIII be applied
on payments on the loan. When the
loan Is hquidated the club has agreed
to transfer the hangar to the city.
The plane entrance to the hangar
addition Is on the east side OF the
building where 50-foot rolling door
has been installed. In addition to
planes the addition also houses q trac-
tor and field equipment, which can
be moved in and out OF the hangar
either on the east or south sides Of
the building.
A partition forming the south wan
of the original hangar No. has been
left intact, but construction OF the
addition was planned so that this wall
can be removed, If found advisable,
to form single hangar structure about
100 feet In length.
With the new hangar addition the
airport can now provide storage ac-
commodations for about so percent
more private planes than formerly.
Previously, private and visiting flyers
had TO anchor their machines m the
open at the field.
Need Has Been Pressing
For several years the need for more
hangar space to accommodate private
planes has been a pressing problem
for airport officials and makes the
completion Of the enlarged hangar No.
! an important development IN airport
16CAUL1SS.
Airport officials said that during the
summer months private and student
flyers make an average of 100 land
fngs on the Billings field. This is In
addition to nine commercial flight
landings each day.
since the municipal field was estab-
lished IN 1928 1t has had a swift
growth and today it has developed into
one Of the largest enterprises operated
In the city.
The original hangar No. l was con-
structed IN 1890 at a cost of $4,000
under a financing project sponsored
by the Commercial club The club also
undertook program for lighting the
field in 1885 at a cost Of $3s2f.
Hangar No. 2, the largest single
structure at the airport, was completed
In August, 1887. At the same time,
under an airport Improvement pro-
gram, q water tower was erected, con-
crete aprons and r1nways built and

peared in the morning at $3.50 o'clock
while the remainder Of the class gradta-
ated and spoke their pieces" IN the
afternoon.

 A high command communique, re- porting that British bombers had raided Berlin and other parts Of Germany, said:
 "A number of bombs fell in the city center as well as in the working class section of the Reich capital Here as in other parts of the Reich material damage caused was unim- portant. There were no fatal cas- ualties but several civilians were wounded"
 Foreign correspondents, on con- ducted tour of the city, saw that the main Berlin fire station had been damaged and that minor damage had been done in the Siemenstadt district of northwest Berlin where the great Siemens- Schubert electri- cal works are situated.
 Glares apparently from fires were visible at several points in south- eastern Berlin during the raid, and after the "all clear" had sounded a United Press correspondent saw two barricaded areas, in one of which a fire was still burning.
 (Under a new rule of the German government, nothing may be sent from Germany on an air raid until an official announcement has been made, after the "all clear" signal Then foreign correspondents may dispatch their stories, but the stories must conform to official announce mentS.
 CThis rule was promulgated after the British raid of Thursday morn ing on Berlin. United Press dis patches were not released from Der. lin this morning until three hour. and A minutes after the "all clear had sounded, and five hours and 2! minutes after the raid started.

singled out for city hall and orga- nization opposition.
 Mayor To Make Statement
 The mayor has indicated that he will have a statement to make soon on the 18th district situation, but it is not believed that he will offer any specific endorsement. Senator Lawlor has strong backing in the district, even among members of the town committee, and any en- dorsement of Senator Egan would alienate many regular Democrats and hamper the party in future campaigns.
 Mayor Scully f1atly denies rumor' being circulated that he had stated he would not oppose Senator Gull hane in the latter's bid for renomi. nation this year.
 The statement by the mayor il regard to the 18th district fight ma! take the form of a declaration O neutrality, with Democrats told t' vote for whichever one of the can didates they like best. Such state ment, of course, would mean furthe resentment on the part of Senate I Culhane and his packers, who clain that the mayor should take no par in the 18th district battle.
