LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

ing q foolish mistake In building
his house, and that Jerry Muskrat,
who ought to know, said so.
So whenever they got the chance
the little people of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows would steal
up to the shore Of Paddy's new pond
deep In the Green Forest and
chuckle as they looked out at the
great pile of sticks and mud which
Paddy had built for q house, but
in which he had forgotten to make
q room. At least they supposed that
he had forgotten this very important
thing. He must have, for there
wasn't any room. It was . great
joke. They laughed 4 lot about it,
and they lost 3 great deal Of the
respect for Paddy the Beaver which
they had had since he built his
wonderful dam.
Jerry and Peter sat in the moon
light talking II over. Paddy had
stopped bringing sticks for his wall.
He had dived down out Of sight and
he was gone 1 long time. Suddenly
Jerry noticed that the water had
grown very, very muddy all around
Paddy's new house. He wrinkled
his brows trying to think what
Paddy could be doing. Presently
Paddy came up for air. Then he
went down again and the water
grew muddier than ever. This went
on for long time. Every little
whils Paddy would ecune M for atr

and . few minutes OF rest. Then
down he would 60 and the water
would grow muddier and muddier.
At last Jerry could stand it no
longer. He just had to see what
was going on. He slipped into the
water and swan over to where the
water was the muddiest. Just as
he got there Up came Paddy.
Hello, Cousin Jerry!" said he. II
was just going to invite you over
to see what you think Of my house
inside. Just follow me-"
Paddy dived and Jerry dived after
him. He followed Paddy in at one
Of the three doorways under water
and up . smooth hall right into the
biggest, incest bedroom Jerry had
ever been In all his life. He Just
gasped In sheer surprise. He couldn't
do anything else. He couldn't find
his tongue to say . word. Here he
was In this splendid great room up
above the water, and he had been
20 sure that there wasn't any room
there! He just didn't know what
to make Of 1t.
Paddy's eyes twinkled. ''weil," /"

food along the narrow creeks Of
tropical and temperate America.
They are strictly maritime. Some
times, large numbers of them will
be seen entering the outer bays and
river mouths. They never go in
land, and they do not travel far out
to sea.
The winters are spent from the
Gulf Coast to Colima, Mexico, and
Costa Rica; a few have been seen
in the West Indies.
When the winter vacation is over,
the skimmers appear along our
southern beaches. They arrive in
f1ocks of thousands. 1t is at this
time their weird yapping is loud
enough almost to drown the roar
of the surf. If one is not familiar
with the raucous cry, it is likely to
be mistaken for the incessant yap-
ping of a kennel Of dogs. When
great flocks Of them put on q con-
cert performance, the squawking
is fearful. They seem to love the
swish and boom of the surf as an
accompaniment.
Black skimmers are more or less
gregarious throughout the summer,
assembling in large colonies to rear
their young. The nesting places,
from Virginia to the Gulf Coast
and Texas, are situated on sand
spits running out from the shore,
or cn small isolated islands of sand.
The nest is a very simple affair,
an unlined hollow made by the
mother by turning her body around
many times in the sand. In this
shallow pocket she lays from three
to five spotted and blotched eggs.
No two are exactly alike. On occa-
sions nest is robbed. The mother
makes another nest and lays an
other clutch of eggs. The eggs may
have a buff or white ground color,
and the markings will be brown,
black and some lavender. The sun
assists in keeping them warm.
Any one approaching the nursery
of the skimmers will be startled by
an attack from the mothers, which
leap into the air and aim toward
the intruder with loud, hoarse cries
that are quite frightening.
This Is the only member or the
family to which the skinner be-
longs to estabiist its home In the
United States. Many have been
able to observe the skinner sweep
downward and ZIP along the water
an inch or so above the surface 50
that its lower mandible Is able to
scoop up small marine creatures, Of
which It never seems 70 have enough.

FIUME, italian seaport on Gulf

the English word "fume." Give it
two syllables, and accent the first,
thus: FEW-may.
TRIESTE, seaport on Adriatic

pronunciation is: tree-EST.
The correct italian pronunciation
is: tree-ESS-tay.
COPENHAGEN, seaport and cap

third syllable is "hay" not hog"
Say: KOE-p'n-HAY-gen.
Many readers have requested that

STALINGRAD, pointing out that
too many variations of this symbolic
name are being heard on the radio.

on the third syllable, thus: stah-

You are riding for fall.
Use your ears and use your eyes.
But hold your tongue and you'll be wise.
Jerry Muskrat will tell you that
that is as true as true can be. Jerry
knows. He found 1t out for himself.
Now he is very careful what he says
about other people or what they are
doing. But he wasn't so careful
when his cousin, Paddy the Beaver,
was building his house. No sir,
Jerry wasn't so careful then. He
thought he knew more about build
ing q house than Paddy did. He
was sure of it when he watched
Paddy heap up a great pile Of mud
right in the middle where his room
ought to be and then build wall
of sticks around it. He said as
much to Peter Rabbit.
Now, 1t is never sare to say any
thing to Peter Rabbit that you don't
care to have others know. Peter
has ! great deal Of respect for Jerry
Muskrat's opinion on house build
ing. You see, he very much ad-
mires Jerry's snug house In the
Smiling Pool. It really IS 4 very
fine house. and Jerry may be ex-
cused for being proud Of 1t. But
that doesn't excuse Jerry for think
ing that he knows all there is to
know about house building. OF

West opened the king of clubs,
and South ruffed. At first glance,
the hand seemed hopeless. He had
no losers in the black suits, but
there was loser if each red suit.
What could he do to eliminate one
of those losers?
After some thought he saw
chance to give up one club trick in
exchange for the two red-suit losers
"a highly profitable rate of ex-
change. The success Of his plan
depended only on finding either the
queen or ace of clubs in the East
hand. This was not too much to
hope for, in view of Easts raise to
two clubs during the first round of
the bidding
He therefore drew two rounds of
trumps and led the jack of clubs
from the dummy. East played low,
and South discarded low diamond.
West won with the ace of clubs and
hastily shifted to diamonds, dummy
winning with the king.
Declarer next led the ten of clubs
from dummy. East played low
again, hoping South would lose his
nerve. But South calmly discarded
low heart. 1t then was a simple
matter to claim the rest Of the
tricks.
