Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Jerry Muskrat was puzzled. He
was very much puzzled. When he
discovered that the stranger had
left pieces Of carrot and apple at
some of Jerry's favorite eating places
he had guessed at once that a trap
had been set in each one OF those
places. So for a whole day he had
kept away from them. Then curl
osity had been too much for him
He just had to go over to see if
those delicious tidbits were still
there
The first place he visited was an
old log partly under water. On the
part above water were several pieces
of carrot. Jerry swan along both
sides of that log and made sure that
there was no trap under water. Then
he craWled up on the bank beside
that log and looked carefully for
signs of a trap. He could find none
There certainly was no trap where
those pieces of carrot lay in plain
sight on that log.
1t seemed to Jerry that he simply
must have those pieces of carrot. He
tried to turn his back on them and
go away, but he couldn't. He knew
he was foolish, but he finally, very,
very cautiously, crept up on that
log until he could reach out one paw
and knock piece of carrot off.
Nothing happened. Jerry jumped
down and ate that piece of carrot
with relish. Then he climbed back
and did the same thing to another
piece of carrot. Finally he had eaten
the last piece of carrot and nothing
had happened
Then Jerry visited, in turn, the
other places where the stranger had
left good things to eat. At each place
temptation proved too much for him.
and he ventured to take those good
things. He ate until his stomach
was full and then he carried what
was left over to his house. At none
Of those places could be find the
least sign of trap.
The stranger came the next day
and left more good things, and that
night Jerry had another feast. The
following day the stranger did not
come, but the day after he did. AS
before, he left good things to eat,
and, as before, Jerry got them to the
last scrap.
But all the time Jerry was puzzled.
He couldn't understand why that
stranger was bringing him all those
good things to eat. At the same
time, Jerry was growing careless.
He no longer used his eyes and nose
so carefully when he approached the
places where those good things were
left. In fact, sometimes he was in
such hurry to get them that he
didn't look at all. but just scrambled
up where the good things were. You
see, not once had he found a single
thing wrong. He was beginning to
doubt that the stranger was a trap
per at all. In fact, he was beginning
to look on the stranger as a very
good friend, indeed.

New Highway 10 Baltimore
Promised Consideration

Chairman Cartwright of the House
Roads Committee said new high
way from Washington to Baltimore
would be one for consideration"
under a S2S7 100000 defense high
way program congressional leaders
expect President Roosevelt to send
to Congress soon.
Bulk of the program, Mr. Cart
wright explained, would be to pro-
vide access roads to new Army train
ing centers, powder factories and
other defense establishments.
A substantial part of the money,
Mr.. Cartwright said, would be ear
marked for the repair of State high
ways damaged during troop ma
neuvers.
The Oklahoman explained that the
program was distinct from the reg
ular Federal-aid highway work for
which Congress last year provided
1927 900 900 for expenditure over a
two-year period.
None of the money. he said. would
be for so-called super-highways.
Super highways are all right in
their place. he asserted, "but they
should be built through bond issues
and financed with tolls like Penn
sylvania is doing with its new turn

came i'll Friday after returning from

Mrs. Campbell was known to

Highway Program
Outlined by Schultz
Receives Support
Cleveland Agrees
With Traffic Plan;
Van Duzer Silent

Support of the Schultz long-range
traffic program for the District plan
ming high-speed subway or elevated
highways and other forms of relief,
came today from some leaders of
organizations vitally concerned with
traffic conditions. while others want
ed more time to study the report.
Washington I. Cleveland, District
manager of the American Automo-
bile Association, agreed, on the
whole, with the report submitted to
the House District Committee Sat-
urday by Chairman Schultz of the
Streets and Traffic Subcommittee.
Mr.. Cleveland regarded as the two
most urgent needs pointed to in the
Schultz report as 100 additional
traffic policemen and a compre-
hensive plan of off-street parking.
Coincidentally. he said. high-speed
highways for traffic passing through
Washington should be planned.
Off-Street Parking.
Emphasizing the urgent need for
off-street parking, Mr.. Cleveland
said there were no more than 5000
TO 5000 curb spaces now available
downtown for parking. while more
than 100000 cars were driven to the
business district every day.
The A. A. A. executive was not
prepared to agree with some of the
recommendations in the Schultz re-
port. One of which he was dubious
would provide mandatory jail SEN
tences for motorists speeding more
than so miles an hour. Mr.. Cleve-
land said there were so many other
traffic regulations of Importance, he
did not feel that one should be
singled out. He was not prepared
to express an opinion on skip"
stops for street cars, feeling this
was a matter for the transit COM
pany to work out.
Several officials and others charged
with responsibility in the traffic
situation preferred to await the
Federal-District Research Board re-
port authorized by Congress before
committing themselves to any radi-
cal changes.
'Unsightly" EIevateds.
William A. Van Duzer, District
traffic director, said he would rather
not comment on the Schultz report
until the board makes its recon-
mendations.
Mr.. Van Duzer did say, however,
that he did not think the people of
Washington would approve "un-
slightly elevated highways" and
probably would prefer traffic sub
ways.
Mr.. Van Duzer is a member of
the Research Board. which includes
20 engineers, District Highway
Director H. C. Whitehurst and
Thomas H. Macdonald. commits
sioner of the Federal Public Roads
Administration
Whitehurst Has No Comment Yet.
Capt. Whitehurst, Ike Mr.. Van
Duzer, did not care to discuss the
Schultz report because he was in
volved in the Federal District study
of traffic conditions. The District
highway director said the Research
Board had not agreed on even gen.
eral recommendations and any pre-
diction purporting to give the nature
of the report was decidedly pre-
mature.
This report, which will be made
to Congress, is expected to be COM
pleted some time next month,
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee said the Schultz
report would come before the full
committee next Monday A COM
mittee meeting scheduled for today
was postponed because of a meeting
of the National Defense Subcom-
mittee.

Plan Needed 10 Avert
Shortage Of Power,
Congress Told
F. P. c. and Utilities Study
Scheme for Giont Tie-up
Of Electric Lines in East

Congress was told today by the
Federal Power Commission that
careful planning is necessary to
avert an early power shortage such
as caused lightless nights during
the 1918 war manufacturing boom
In an effort to assure an adequate
and dependable supply of electricity
to meet defense requirements, the
commission said in its annual re-
port utilities and the commission
are investigating the possibility OF
a giant tie-up of high-capaClt
transmission lines throughout the
industrial East.
In 1918 a power shortage caused
curtailment of production in many
war industries and some cities went
without lights at night so more
power could go into munitions man
ufacturing.
Concurrently, the commission re-
ported the known reserves of natura,
gas are sufficient for only 27ie year!
at the present rate of consumption
and that applications for approva
of new pipe lines presented a serious
question of conservation.
New Factory Building Record.
The commissions suggestion that
the current industrial expansion
might cause a power shortage COIN
cided with a report from the Com
merce Department that conStruc-
ton of new factories in the first
three months of 1941 had surpassed
any similar period in American his
tory.
Lowell J. Chawner, department
economist. estimated that if the
present rate continued the years
expenditures for plant and equip
ment would total $500, 100000. This
would be compared with S2,300,000.-
900 last year, S2,700,000,000 in 1929
$4,000, 100000 in the peak year OF
1920 and S2,500,00, during the wal
effort of 1918.
On another defense phase, the re-
port said the commission had pre-
pared confidential instructions tc
power companies for the protection
of generating plants against sabo-
tage or other hostile acts" in &C
cordance with instructions from the
President.
Gas Reserves Discussed.
In connection with the gas-con-
servation problem, the commission
mentioned proposal for a 1900
mile pipe line from South Texas tc
New York City, capable of deliver
ing approximately 250,000.000 cubic
feet of gas daily, then added:
This first proposal to tap the
Southwestern reserves of natura
gas to supply the tremendous mar,
kets available in the Northwestern
States poses the country with s
serious problem of energy resource
conservation. There is an even more
important question which should be
answered before Government sane.
ton is given to large-scale delivery
of natural gas to the great Eastern
industrial areas. That is the queS-
ton as to whether rapid depletion
of the country's natural gas reserve:
may not reduce for all time the
country's potentially recoverable re-
serves of oil. In view of the ire.
mendous Importance of petroleum
products in both peace and war, il
would be a grave mistake to ALLOW
the quest for quick profits anc
temporary convenience to cut intC
our available petroleum supplies"
The commission recommended tha
the Natural Gas Act be brOadeneC
to give the commission control ovel
all new interstate natural gas pipe
