Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

1
Danny Meadow Mouse was having
good time on the bank of the
Smiling Pool. He laughed at Grand.
father Frogs fear that he was TAX
ing foolish risk. 1t was true that
he was long way from home, with
its many secret hiding places, which
made it comparatively safe in times
of danger, but Danny wasn't worry
ing. AS he had told Grandfather
Frog, he doesn't believe in worrying
until there is something to worry
about.
So, this being the first time he
had visited the Smiling Pool fof
a long time, he made the most OF
1t. One of the first things he did
was to get a good long drink. You
see, there had been no rain for q
long time, and Danny had had hard
work to keep from being thirsty
most of the time. Then he asked
Grandfather Frog for all the news
of the Smiling Pool-how his big
cousin, Jerry Muskrat, was getting
on: what Billy Mink and Little Joe
Otter and Spotty the Turtle had
been doing: how large family Mr.
and Mrs. Redwing had raised, and
If Rattles the Kingfisher still came
fishing every day in the Smiling
Pool?
Grandfather Frog answered all
his questions and then declared that
he had talked enough for one morn
ing. Finding that Grandfather
Frog really meant what he said,
Danny first hunted for something
to eat, and then finding a comfort
able place on the bank of the Smil-
ing Pool, decided to take a nap.
Now, just by chance, that very
morning Reddy Fox sdeaSded that
he, too, would visit the Smiling
Pool. Reddy likes a tender young
frog for change in his bill of fare
once in while. So about the time
Danny Meadow Mouse decided to
take a nap. Reddy Fox started
toward the Smiling Pool. AS he
drew near it he crouched low in
the grass and stole forward very
carefully and stealthily, doing his
best to keep as much out of sight
as possible. Nearer and nearer he
crept to the bank of the Smiling
Pool, and it just happaned that he
was headed straight for the spot
where Danny Meadow Mouse was
mapping
Now Reddy wasn't thinking of
Danny Meadow Mouse. He was
thinking of young frogs. But as he
drew near the bank of the Smiling
Pool a careless Merry Little Breeze
brought to him the scent of Danny
Meadow Mouse. 1t tickled Reddy's
nose. 1t made him forget young
frogs. A fat meadow mouse would
be much better eating than a young
frog.
Reddy became more careful than
ever. He crept along almost on his
stomach in the direction from which
that scent came All the time
Danny Meadow Mouse was having
pleasant dreams in that comfort
able place on the bank of the Smil-
ing Pool, wholly unconscious that
danger was anywhere near.

japan Makes Nickel
By Simpler Process

DR.. H. Komatsubara, director of
assaying at the mint in Osaka, ia
pan, is making nickel by new proc
ess which is much simpler and far
more economical than any now used
in manufacturing.
The inventor says that by his
system 100 per cent pure nickel
can be manufactured by only mat
ting, treating in the converter, and
electrolyzing, thus cutting out the
processes between crushing and
grinding and reduction.
The cost Of making one ton has
been cut from $3.50 to s35, he as

Gas Rate Cut

Times staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON c., Jan. Is.
Possibility of a new gas rate
saving of 100000 year was adj
vanced today by Asst. CoFP.-GeHH-
sci James II. Lee of Detroit, who
asked the government to hold up
the plan of the Michigan Con-
solidated Gas Company TO build
a pipe line between the Michigan
gas fields and Detroit, until the
issue is cleared up.
Lee appeared before the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission and
asked the commission to compel
the gas company to be sure il
can obtain Texas gas for storage
in Michigan fields before purchase
of the Austin field in Mecosta
County.
If Texas gas can be stored dur
ing the Summer, for use in Winter
when consumption is at the peak,
Lee contended, a saving of S800,000
a year can be made and passed
on TO the consumers.
