Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W, BURGESS,


Black Pussy made q resolution.
1t was that she never would 60 hunt
ing again except In Farmer Browns
barn, where Nibbler the house mouse
lives and where hunting is perfectly
safe for any one but Nibbler.
It all came about when Black
Pussy was forced to climb a tree
in the Green Forest to escape from
Old Man Coyote. There on a limb,
half way up the tree, she crouched
and glared down at the grinning
face Of Old Man Coyote She
growled and she snsrled and she
spit and her tail was three times
as big as self-respecting tail should
be. But for all her growing and
snarilng and splitting. Old Man Coy
ote merely grinned and sat himself
down to wait at the foot of the tree.
Now it was not at all comfortable
up in that tree, despite Black Pussy's
thick coat. 1t wouldn't have been
comfortable had she been feeling
her very best, and you know that she
wasn't feeling that way at all. She
was stiff and sore from the wounds
she had received from the claws of
Hooty the Owl, and rough brother
North Wind was anything but
gentle.
Old Man Coyote was patient. No
one has more patience than Old
Man Coyote If there is something
for him to gain by it. He had
feeling that this time there would
be something to gain by it, so he sat
at the foot of the tree and licked his
lips and grinned up at Black Pussy.
So Black Pussy had plenty of time
in which to think. There was MOTH
ing else to do but think.
1t was very clear to her that all
her troubles had come to her because
of her desire to hunt. She hadn't
needed to hunt. She hadn't been
the least bit hungry when she
started out. Not in all her life had
she ever gone hungry for a single
day. Always she was given plenty
to eat at Farmer Browns house. So
there had been no excuse for that
trip into the Green Forest, and Black
Pussy was very well aware of it.
She was beginning to understand
how it feels to be hunted. She knew
now just how Danny Meadow Mouse
must have felt when she hunted him.
1t wasn't a comfortable feeling at
all.
I'll never. never, never go hunting
again in the Green Forest" muttered
Black Pussy. Il never will" And
she meant it then, every word of it.
She meant it just as all of us mean
the resolutions we make. Old Man
Coyote heard her. but he thought
she was simply growing at him. So
Old Man Coyote just grinned the
more and showed all his long teeth.

TO TRAFFIC

CHICAGO, RHCurbings which
may be raised or lowered accord
ing to traffic needs are a feature
of a new eight-lane highway under
construction north of the loop
business district.
Each line of curb, divided into
25-foot sections over the two
mile route, can be retracted into
an under-pavement slot. In each
slot are hydraulic jacks and pow
erful springs. Electrically CONTROL
ed pressure pumps raise the jacks,
which lift curb sections. When the
pressure is released, the springs
draw the sections back flush with
the pavement.
Since three-fourths of the traf-
.fic moves north in the evening
and south in the morning, tn e
curbs were needed to provide a
six-lane highway to proide rush
hours. During other hours there
are four lanes each way. The curb
ings are spaced two lanes apart. 8

BUOY
MISSING FROM WAVES

BALTIMORE, -R- That miss
ing red, white and blue Star Span
gled Banner buoy really is miss
ing.
1t marked the spot where Fran
els Scott Keys ship was anchored
when he wrote the national anthem
during tie British bombardment of
Fort McHenry in 1914.
Coast guardsmen and light
house officials say the buy never
was there at all. Old yachtsmen
declared they had seen it, but diff
fer about the dates.
However, Capt. William H.
Riehl says that as master of the
tugboat Sentinel, he placed tn e
buoy in Chesapeake bay during the
Star Spangled Banner centennial
here in 1914.
1t was was a can buoy, he
says, about three feet in diameter
and eight feet tall, painted with the
Stars and Stripes. Riehl moored
it midway between Fort Carroll
and old Riverview park. Winds,
tides or a ship tore it away.

if anything went wrong"
Baker said most jumpers, wheth-
err they're practicing or actually
bailing out from a disabled plane,
just let themselves fall out. There
was a time, he went on, W h e n
jumpers thought they should count
ten before pulling the ripcard that
releases the canopy, but no more
The reason was that in earlier
days the tail surfaces of airplanes
were low and there was danger OF
the shroud lines OF the chute
catching in the tail surfaces. The
tails of planes are higher now.
"Just dive" he explains to
rockies, "as if you were diving
into a swimming pool"
No two parachutists will report
the same sensation on the w a y
down. Baker continued. Some say
it's like diving in slow motion.
Others feel they are suspended
stationary in the air and the earth
is coming up toward them. But
there's always time to think be-
cause a mile-high drop takes from
three to six minutes, depending on
the weight of the man and the
area of the silk canopy over him.

Prepaid Salary Plan Eases
Wage-Hour Ouertim Requirement
By the Associated Press

After wrestling for months with
troublesome questions raised in ap-
plying overtime pay to changing
business conditions, the wage-hour
agency has approved a system to
let employers pay a constant wage
even though working hours fluctu-
ate from week to week.
The new devise, which wage
hour lawyers call 1.-The prepayment
plan," is a companion device for
the time-off plan" previously
sanctioned.
The essence of the plan is that
an employe may be paid in ad-
vance for overtime he may put in
during subsequent rush periods. 1t
may be applied only where an en-
ployer hires at a fixed rate for a
definite number o, hours a week.
Unless the courts knock it out,
wage-hour officials regard the pre-
payment plan as a useful device
for employers and employees who
want to maintain wages and salar-
les constant from payday to pay
day despite fluctuating O k
weeks.
This is the way it works for an
employe paid an hourly rate:
"A" hires out at so cents an
hour for a 40-hour week. His week
ly pay ordinarily will be $40.
But the first week "a" works
only IS hours. At the hourly rate
of so cents, he has earned only
$3.50. His employer, f%ore-seeing a
week or weeks in which "a" will
have to work longer hours, pays
"A" $40 and credits himself with
$3.50 paid for time "a" did not
work.
The second week "A" works 81
hours, is paid $40, and the en-
player added $3.50 to his credit
for time "a" has not worked.
In the third week, "A" labors
46 hours, two hours longer than
his regular work week and four
beyond the ~ maximum
hour week fixed oy the wage-hour
law.
The statute says he must be paid
time-and-a-half for those four
hours, which means ne is entitled
to four times rs cents or So, plus
his straight time earnings az
hours tipooc 50 cantel or q total of
$24.
But the employer has accumula.
ted a credit of 81. BY deducting
the prepaid So, "a" is entitled to
only $40 for his 46-hour week.
The same system may be fol-
lowed in the case of the employe
hired on a fixed salary basis for
a definite number of hours a week
by determining the employees
hourly rate for overtime pur-
poses. 3
