Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

1t had been a bad day on the
Green Meadows. Yes, sir, it had
been a very bad day, especially for
the littlest folks who live there
From the time jolly, round, red
MIR. Sun first began his long climb
up the blue, blue sky until it was
almost time for him to go to bed
behind the Purple Hills, there had
been great fear on the Green Mead
oWs. And 1t was all because of a
black spot, way up in the sky, a
black spot that kept going round
and round and round and round in
circles.
Danny Meadow Mouse poked his
head out of his doorway and nearly
twisted his head off as he watched
the black spot 60 round and round
He shivered and ducked back into
his house, only to stick his head out
a few minutes later and do it all
over again.
Peter Rabbit stuck to the Ole
Briar Patch all that day. He was
perfectly safe there, but there
wasn't any sweet clover there and
he didn't dare 60 out on the Green
Meadows to get any. BY noon

crawling out of his snug home in
the hollow tree. Jimmy Skunk
happened along just then. He had
just seen the stranger glide down
and settle for the night on a dead
tree in the Green Forest, and he
told Unc' Billy Possum all about it.
Unc' Billy pricked up his ears as he
listened. Then he grew very much
excited and threw up his cap.
"Ah reckon that that Is NAH Oh
friend. or Mistah Buzzardl"
shouted Unc' Billy a. he started for
the dead tree In the Green Forest.

We interrupt Mr.. Brant only long
enough to suggest that Vests bid
ding was little short of fantastic.
His hand was far too weak for the
tWo-club overcall, let alone a dou-
BILE of four hearts.
"West opened the ten of dia-
mondS,' recountS our correspondent,
land won with the diamond ace and
returned low heart West played
loW-the crucial mistake-and dunn
my's jack held. I got back with
heart to the ace and finessed a spade
to EaStS king. East couldn't return
club or a diamond without sacrifice
ing trick, SO led back a spade.
Now I took third round of
spades, cashed the king of diamonds
and ruffed diamond. West re-
fused to over-ruff, but I put him in
with a trump and he had to lead
clubs to my king. West could have
defeated the contract by taking
the king of hearts promptly at the
second trick, for then he could not
be end-played."
The last observation is quite true,
and the hand was very we'll played
from start to finish. Nevertheless,
we must point out that the cue to
the winning play was provided by
Vests bad bidding.

the hearts you should not assume
sole responsibility for the slam. Your

PIune Comes THROUGH
After Lightning Strikes

By the Associated Press.
HELENA, Mont-Flight Capt. A.

the bolt Of lightning that played
with his plane near Helena recently
was something new In his expert
ence.
1t was showing, Capt. Olsen re-
ported, and there was no warning
of an electrical disturbance. Sud
denly q bolt of lightning that seemed
to come from nowhere lighted for
the barest fraction Of q second on
the aileron Of the right wing" Capt.
Olsen said.
Except for q slight lurch the bolt
caused the plane no distress. But
when 1t landed ut Billings 4-inch
hole had been burned In the fabric
covering the aileron.
Among the u passengers and

Dental election Of next November.
Thus far, Mr.. Roosevelt has given
no reliable hint Of whether he In
tends or would even consent to be
. candidate for = third term.
During his 10 days in the South,
he did announce that If Congress
and foreign affairs permit he may
make 21-dAy trip to the West
Coast with at least several speeches
on conservation" on the schedule.
Timed to overlap the Republican
National Convention, the contem-
plated trip in the opinion Of some
Is an indication that the President
Is at least keeping himself avail
able" to run again.
Certainly by his speech of last
Saturday night to the Young Demo-
cratic Clubs Of America he made
1t clear that he favors no turning
back by the party from the broad
liberal policies of the New Deal, and
that IN his opinion the party must
name pair of liberal candidates.
and in the ferocity Of his attack
upon Republican tactics thus far he
indicated that he does not intend to
sit quietly by during the coming
campaign months, regardless of who
may be the nominees.
Health Much Improved.
. On his departure from Warm
Springs, Mr.. Roosevelt told a crowd
at the station that I'll be back in
November, I hope" but whether he
intends to return as a retiring Pres
ldent or a continuing one is en-
tirely speculative. He habitually
spends Thanksgiving at the Pine
Mountain resort.
In any event, the Democratic con.
vention is less than three months
away and his own decision on
whether to make the race-since the
nomination appears to be his If he
wants twill therefore come within

That Mr.. Roosevelt is returning in
much improved health is attested
not only by his appearance but by

Admiral Ross T. McIntire. Worn

would face an intensification rather
than an easing OF the grave inter-
national situation.
Although 1t was emphasized at
the time that the meetings were
purely personal and social, two days
of consultations at Warm Springs
between Mr.. Roosevelt and Prime
Minister w. L. Mackenzie King Of
Canada were believed to have dealt
largely with problems which have
arisen in the Western Hemisphere
as a result of the northern Domin-
ion being participant in the
European war while all other
countries in this half of the world
remain non-belligerents.
Legislative Problems.
On the purely domestic front is
the more immediate task of usher
ing Congress through its final few
weeks, with must" legislation to be
disposed Of and undesirable legisla-
tion to be avoided. BY returning
tomorrow, the President will be able
to hold his usual Monday morning
legislative conference with Vice
President Garner, Speaker Bank
head, Senate Majority Leader Bark
ley and House Majority Leader
Rayburn.
Actually, the only piece of legisla-
ton which at the present time
comes in the must" category is the
relief appropriation measure now
before the House Appropriations
Committee. With the administra-
ton asking approximately $1,00o,-
000, 900 for this program, whatever
Aght develops is expected to center
around Mr.. Roosevelt's request for
discretionary authority to use the
funds in eight months rather than
II If the need arises.
On the defenside side, administra-
ton pressure may be brought against
extensive amendments to either the
wage-hour law or to the National
Labor Relations Act. It may be ex-
erted also against Senate acceptance
of the Logan Walter bill to broaden
judicial review of operations Of the
administrative agencies.

Natures Children
Gray Wolf
(Canis mexicanus)

is either on guard or living In a
bachelor apartment closely. There
are from six to seven babies, the
number varying considerably, born
blind, almost nude and decidedly
resembling puppies. Eyes are open
on the ninth day and by that time
a respectable covering Of dull
umber- gray wool, slightly darker on
the lower back, is apparent.
There is an intriguing large spot
of white on the breast and a black
mask covering the chin, muzzle and
reaching to the eyes. When 3 months
old the birthday garments are shed
for the familiar uniform of the
family. During the helpless days
the mother is ever on guard. The
exit is easily reached and the in
fants are usually placed nearer the
doorway. She can pick them up
by the scruff of their necks and
make q swift bound for freedom
If the need for escape arises.
Lessons begin very early in the
life of q wolf baby. kindergarten
days may be spent romping, but
that means fine exercising motions.
The front yard and doorway will
be Uttered with small carcasses OF
animals, fur and feathers, brought
to them by their parents. BY August
they will be S or 6 months old
depending on location) and their
education begins In earnest. BY
example they are taught to ind
and capture their food. avoid traps,
follow scents and make Q straight
run for home. A wolf natures at
2 years.
Packs are made up Of the parents
and their children, sometimes grand
children. The usual cry Of the wolf
is q prolonged, smooth howl, quite
musical, though rather weird when
heard on q dark night. It begins
with a hoot, something like that
OF an owl. It Is said to be the
rauying call Of an older member
OF the tribe notifying the gang to
come and get It," for there Il

pecially true of the wolf male toward
his wife and children. 1t Is believed
that marriage between these ami
mails is for life and 1t has been es-
tablished that they may live together
happily for eight years.
The family domicile is In a roomy,
hollow tree log or stump, in a nat
ural cave, or, If need be, an under
ground apartment, the labor of both
parents. The nursery is never FUR
nished with leaves, moss or hair.
Wolver wear underclothes Of wool
which are very inviting to small
and determined parasites; therefore,
nothing iss added to the apartment
that would also harbor pests.
During the early days Of infancy
the father Is never far away, but
