come to the edge Of the pond to
see what was going on. Peter Rab-
bit came every night. But they
couldn't see much, because. Paddy
and Jerry were working under water.
But at last Peter was rewarded.
There, just above the water was
splendid platform Of mud and
grass and sticks. There were
great many sticks carefully laid
as soon as the platform was above
the water, for Paddy was very par
ticular about this. You see it was
to be the floor for the splendid room
he was planning to build. When
1t suited him he began to pile mud
in the very middle Jerry couldn't
understand this. He puzzled and
puzzled over it, while he helped
to bring the mud. Where was Pad
dy's room going to be if he piled
up the mud that way But he didn't
like to ask questions, so he kept
right on helping. Paddy would
dive down to the bottom and then
come up with double handfuls of
mud, which he held against his
chest. He would scramble out on
to the platform and waddle over
to the pile in the middle. where
he would put the mud and pat it
down. Then back to the bottom
for more mud.
And so the mud-pile grew and
grew until 1t was quite two feet
high. Now" said Paddy. "I1l

hold it together. Paddy dug the
mud from the bottom of his new
pond And because the pond was
new of course, there was a great
deal of grassy sod there, which was
just what Paddy needed. It was
very convenient.
Jerry watched q little while and
then, because Jerry Is q worker
himself, he just had to get busy
and help. Rather timidly. he told
his big cousin that he would like to
have share in building the new
house. ....
"All right" replied Paddy, "that
will be fine. You can bring mud
while am getting the sticks and
grass"
So Jerry dived down to the bot
tom Of the pond and dug up mud
and piled it on the foundation and
was happy. The little stars looked
down and twinkled merrily as they
watched the two workers. So the
foundation grew and grew down un-
der the water. Jerry was very
much surprised at the size of it.
It was ever and ever so much bigger
than the foundation for his own
house. You see, he had forgotten
how much bigger Paddy was. OF
course he would need . much big
ger house. So each night Jerry
and Paddy worked, resting during
the daytime. Occasionally, Bobby

Jerry Muskrat was very much in
terested when he found that Paddy
the Beaver, who you know, is his
cousin, was building house. Jerry
is a house builder himself, and
right down deep in his heart he very
much doubted If Paddy could build
as good a house as he could. His
house was down in the Smiling
Pool, and Jerry thought it very
wonderful house, indeed, and was
very proud Of 1t. It was built of
mud and sod and little alder and
willow twigs and bulrushes. Jerry
had spent one winter in it and he
had decided to spend another there
after he had fixed 1t up little. So
as long as he didn't have to build
a brand-new one he could afford
the time to watch his cousin Paddy.
Perhaps he hoped that Paddy would
ask his advice.
But. Paddy did nothing Of the
kind. He had seen Jerry Muskrat's
house, and he had smiled. But he
had taken great pains not to let
Jerry see that smile. He wouldn't
have hurt Jerry,s feelings for the
world. He is too polite and good
natured to do anything like that.

log and watched Paddy work The
first thing to do was to build the

west thought over the Dlddlng
before making his opening lead. 1t
seemed likely that the black suits
we're pretty solid. If South needed
a club finesse it would succeed, since
any club honor held by East could
be trapped under South's higher
honors. If South needed a diamond
finesse, Vests queen could be
trapped.
1t seemed clear that the best
chance to set the slam contract lay
in winning two heart tricks at once.
That could be done if East had the
heart king. But North's jump to
five no-trump indicated that he held
the king of hearts, the unbid suit.
But West still had the chance that
dummy held the king Jack of hearts
or that dummy had the king and
South the jack.
Acting on this hope, West opened
the deuce of hearts. That put
South to the guess. If he succeeded
in losing only one heart trick, he
could make his slam with ease. but
how was he to know which oppo-
nent had the ace and which the
queen of hearts?
He knew that good players seldom
underlead aces on the opening lead
1t seemed more likely that West had
led from the queen than from the
ace of hearts. Therefore, he played
dummy's jack. East won with the
queen and returned the suit, allow
ing West to take the setting trick
with the heart ace.

OF is feet and are a very voracious
group. They devour great numbers
of valuable food fishes and have
always been a menace to nets and
lines and also to divers.
However, the tables have turned.
Every shark has its value in today's
search for vitamins. The shark is
always hunting for food. His habi-
tat is known to man, and the diff
Guilty Of catching so powerful
dweller Of the deep waters is being
solved.
His liver has stored in 1t vitamin
A, which is vital to those who must
drive in the dark. It was found
that daily dose Of this vitamin
greatly increased the ability Of the
RAF night fighters to see in the
dark. BY mere chance it was dis
covered that German dive bomber
pilots were fed vitamin A to stop
nosebleeds. The demand for this
all-important vitamin could not be
filled.
A wholesale fish dealer knew that
we got our 'vitamin A from cod
liver oil. Germany had cornered
the Norwegians, who had a close
monopoly on the cod catch. Then
it flashed through his mind to have
a chemist make a test on the COM
mon dogf1sh sharks liver, and the
report showed that it was about
10 times as rich in vitamin A as
the Gods liver.
About 10 per cent of q shark is
liver. This resource was revealed
to be present and available at the
time when the 72,000 600 pounds of
cod-liver oil we had been getting
from Norway was shut of.
Naturally the hunt for sharks be-
gan. Suddenly a new type Of in
terest in the shark awakened, and
now, if you please. the only worry
is will the sharks hold out? Shark
fishing is our newest million dollar
industry.

bony nodules that are formed like
teeth and actually do develop as

valuable; it is known as shagreen

The skeleton of the shark consists
entirely Of cartilage or gristle, not
OF bone, as in other flsh, and no air

The hammerhead shark is the one
member of the family that chose
to be different. There does not
seem to be any reason for the mall
let-shaped head Further, why does
this shark have its eyes placed near
the center Of the mallet end?
OF course, many have decided
this novel eye arrangement is to
enable the hammerhead to find his
food more easily. This theory does
not work out, however, as sharks
never have any trouble finding
enough to eat. Their neishhors are
the ones who must worry. Further,
the hammerhead behaves just like
other members Of the family.
