Some people are dreadfully careless
about this matter. Jimmy Skunk,
for instance, often makes the mis-
take of digging his house you know
Jimmy makes his house under
ground right where every one who
happened along that way will see it..
Perhaps that is because Jimmy is
SO independent that he doesn't care
who knows where he lives. Johnny
Chuck used to be careless until he
met Polly Chuck, and then when he
built house for her he was very
careful.
But Paddy the Beaver never is
careless. He always chooses just the
very best place. He makes sure that
1t is best before he begins. So now,
although he was quite positive of
just where his house should be, he
swan around the pond to make
doubly sure. Then when he was
quite satisfied he swan over to the
place he had chosen. It was where
the water was quite deep.
There mustn't be the least
chance that the ice will ever get
thick enough to close up my door
way" said he, "and I'm sure it never
will here. l must make the founda-
tions strong and the walls thick.
must have plenty of mud to plaster
with, and inside, up above the water
I must have the snuggest, warmest
little room, where I can sleep in
comfort. This is the place to build
1t and it is high time I was at work.

and Paddy wasn't quite sure of
what Farmer Browns boy might do.
He had kept himself snugly hidden,
while Farmer Browns boy was
there, and he felt quite sure that
Farmer Browns boy didn't know
who had built the DAM But for
this very reason he might, he just
might try to find out all about it,
and that would mean that Paddy
would have to be always on the
watch.
But what's the use of worrying
over troubles that haven't come yet,
and may never come? Time enough
to worry when they do come" said
Paddy to himself, which shows that
Paddy has a great deal of wisdom
IN his little brown head. "The thing
for me to do now is to get ready for
winter and that means a great deal
of work." he continued. Let me
see, I've got to build house, a big,
stout, warm house where I will be
snug and safe when my pond is
frozen over. And I've got to lay in
a supply of food, enough to last me
until gentle Sister South Wind
comes to prepare the way for lovely
Mistress Spring. My, my, I can't
afford to be sitting here dreaming
when there is such lot to be done!"
With that Paddy slipped into the
water and swan all around his new
pond to make sure of just the best
place to build his house. Now plac-
ing ones house in just the right
place is a very important matter.

Asbestos is changed rock; most of
it comes from igneous rock which
has taken millions of years to form.
1t is found in the United States,
Canada, Australia, China, Finland,
Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Russia,
Turkey. Union Of South Africa,
Venezuela and Rhodesia. Canada
leads in production, with Russia
second and Rhodesia and the Union
Of South Africa following. In our
country. many States have small as
bestos deposits. but very few Of our
mines are worth working. Indeed,
it has been established that there
may be found small pockets Of as
bestos all over the world.
Asbestos is a mineral with ex-

which are very shiny and feel like

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

Paddy the Beaver sat on the dam
he had built deep in the Green
Forest and his eyes shone with hap
piness as he looked out over the
shining water of the pond he had
made. All around the edge of it
grew the tall trees of the Green
Forest, 1t was very beautiful and
very still and very lonesome. That
is, it would have seemed lonesome to
almost any one but Paddy the
Beaver. But Paddy is never lone
some. You see he finds company
in the trees and flowers and all the
little plants.
He loves the Forests quiet heart
Where strife and worry have no part.
1t was still, very, very still. Over
on one side was a beautiful rosy
glow in the water. It was the reflec-
ton from jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun.
Paddy couldn't see him because of
the tall trees, but he knew exactly
what Mr.. Sun was doing. He was
going to bed behind the Purple
Hills. Pretty soon the little stars
would come out and twinkle down
at him. He loves the little stars
and always watches for the first
one. Yes, Paddy the Beaver was
very happy. He would have been
perfectly happy, but for one thing.
Farmer Browns boy had found his
dam and pond that very afternoon

apart, it actually separates into radi-
ant fibers, and this is the oldest
fiber in the world. Imagine how
long ago the first man had the
vision to weave these fibers into
cloth! The fanciful legends about
asbestos are most interesting to
read. Each has grain of truth in it.
There are two varieties of as
bestos, chrysotile and amphibole
The fbers of the amphibole are
greenish-gray and usually short and
brittle. In Australia and the Union
of South Africa, a dark blue am
phibole OF long, strong, glossy f1bers
is mined. The miners call it "crocido-
lite" which means "woolly stone"
because you can pull these dark
blue shiny fibers apart easily; they
leave the rock looking fuzzy If you
break the dark blue crocidolite into
pieces, the fibers are in lovely shades
of lavender, are extremely light and
never fade. Blue amphibole is rars,
but the other amphibole is being
mined in Maryland and Georgia.
Chrysotile is being mined in Arizona
and Vermont. Asbestos Is mined in
Arizona, but it is very tedious job
to pack it down the steep trails on
the backs of burros to the railorad.
But our few asbestos mines can
not possibly supply us with this
important material in the quantities
we need, so we must get it from
Canada. The vast mines in Quebec
supply the demand for most of the
worlds needs, and each year there is
something new that can be made
of this wonderful silky floss that
cannot be burned by any fire.
The actual work in the mills where
the asbestos fibers are woven into
yarn is fascinating. There are
hundreds of things in which this
non-burnable fiber is uSed-auto-
mobile brakes. firemen's suits, paints.
Christmas trees and ornaments, air
planes, factories, arc-welding, great
ships. roofs Of homes and public
buildings and hospital floors.
Asbestos is still the strange magic
stone that cannot be burned vet
protects mankind and animals from
being burned.

NATURES CHILDREN
ASBESTOS.

For 1000 years or more, people
have wondered about the magic
cottonstone." In ancient days, it
was also called the magic fax" :"
Many years before Christ was born,
Greece and Rome knew about asbes-
tos; that is, they knew this strange
flreproof cotton could not be de-
stroyed by fire. Only the kings
could afford the rare and costly
shroud of this material. 1t was the
custom to cremate the departed
monarchs and place their ashes in
beautiful golden urns. When 1t was

NOrth's choice of the final con-
tract was wise, since an opening
club lead would have made SIX
spades a very hazardous contract.
At six diamonds, West could not
afford to lead club away from his
king.
West led the king of hearts,
dummy winning with the ace South
ruffed heart, drew the king and
ace of diamonds, and ruffed dummy's
last heart. Then he laid down the
king of spades and led another
spade toward dummy. West shrewdly
false-carded by playing the ten, but
declarer put up dummys ace and
dropped East's queen.
The rest of the play, OF course,
was easy, since only one club trick
could be lost. But South's reason for
putting up dummy's ace shows how
we'll he had planned the play.
Vests double of five clubs pretty
clearly located the club king in his
hand. If he had three spades to the
queen, he could be allowed to win
the third spade. For if he then re-
turned a club, South would not lose
a club trick, and if he returned an
other heart, South would ruff while
dummy discarded a club.
South could not afford, however, to
let East gain the lead with the queen
of spades, for East could return a
club without sacrificing trick. The
play of the spade ace, therefore, was
a precaution which could not cost
anything and actually won the slam
contract.

In placing your jars in the oven,

The Sugar Question.
Fruit may be canned successfully
without sugar or sugar syrup with
water or fruit juice used in its place.
Sugar. however. does mellow and
ripen the fruit, giving it a better
flavor. You might try making your
fruit syrups for fruit canning less
sweet than usual if you are short on
sugar.
Honey may be used in place of
sugar in making the sweet syrup,
but the fruit will be somewhat more
dark than if sugar is used and the
fruit flavor will be intensified. Use
honey for each cup of sugar in the
substitution.

Fora Mitchell warning them not to come.
Later he learns from Jerry McInnis that
Zora's husband has been murdered and
that 1t is his job as chief engineer for a

that her death was suicide. Fora, they
agree, was not the type to commit
suicide. Jeff suspects Montaya OF ar

persons with whom Curt would have

It was a whirlwind tour. The bulk
of employees, numbering fifty to six

Then said Montaya, "This is the

for a caricaturist. Near-sighted, he

gave him bug-eyed appearance.
The first words were conventional
greeting. Then:

Geniality left the bearded face.
Hostile gray eyes bored through the
