Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.


Every minute that Peter Rabbit
was awake he seemed to be watching
for something. Even when he was
eating he seemed to be all the time
looking and listening. II he was in
the Green Forest he would sit up
every few minutes and look and
look. And he always looked in one
direction, and that was the direction
from which gentle Sister South
Wind came.
What are you watching for?"
asked Jimmy Skunk after he had
seen Peter sit up and look half q
dozen times. Freddy Fox isn't any
where around. Old Man Coyote has
gone up to the Old Pasture, and
Roughleg the Hawk hasn't been
around here for several days. I
guess he's gone away until next
winter. There isn't anything for
you to be afraid Of just now, Peter" I"
"Oh, I'm not afraid" replied
Peter.
"Then what under the sun are
you watching for so sharply" per-
sisted Jimmy.
"I-I-Oh, Jimmy, do you know
If anybody has seen or heard Win
some Bluebird?" Peter fairly hoped
up and down as he asked this.
NO." said Jimmy shortly. What
difference does it make whether they
have or not?"
"Why, if they have, Mistress
Spring is almost here. and that's
the most splendid news Of the whole
year," cried Peter. "She is never
far behind Winsome. II would
like to be the first to see or hear
Winsome and that's what I'm
watching for. It's great fun to 60
about telling good news. think
I'd rather be Winsome Bluebird
than any one I know of, because
everybody Is so glad to see him.
Excuse me, Jimmy! I think I see
something blue up there in the Old
Orchard!" OF scampered Peter Rab-
bit for the Old Orchard as fast as
he could go, hpperty lipperty-lip.
Jimmy Skunk grinned as he
watched him. Peter Rabbit is just
as foolish and crazy as ever" he
grumbled. That's nobody but Sam
my Jay and Peter is running his
legs of for nothing. I'll be just as
glad as anybody to have Mistress
Spring get here because then maybe
I can get some fat beetles, but
what's the use of getting excited?
Winsome Bluebird will come and
Mistress Spring will come when they
get ready and not before. Mean
while I'm more interested In getting
something to eat. I wonder If it's
safe to go up to Farmer Browns
henhouse From the racket those
hens made this morning there must
be some fresh eggs there"
1t was just as Jimmy had said.
Peter reached the Old Orchard only
to find it was Sammy Jay and not
Winsome Bluebird who was there.
He pretended that he had come up
to see If Jimmy Chuck had walked
wv eAAAN 90 SOOll dS 1lC SOulO, llC
stole away by himself to watch and
listen some more. But it was all
in vain. Not a glimpse did he get
OF Winsome, nor a sound of his
sweet whistle. That night Peter sat
in the dear old Briar Patch think
ing it all over.
Perhaps" said Peter slowly to
himself, perhaps there is some one
else just as eager to be the first to
hear Winsome Bluebird and am
a little bit selfish in trying so hard
to be the first. I hadn't thought
OF that before. I guess that tomor-
row III just go about my business.
Then If I do hear Winsome first
I'll be glad, and if some one else
hears or sees him first I'll be glad
too"

Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa declared today synthetic
rubber production was two to
three months behind schedule
and blamed apparent COM
placency" for what he described
as "a desperate situation"
Sen. Gillette tolG reporters the
Agriculture subcommittee of which
he is chairman would question Rub
ber Administrator William M. Jeffers
and War Production Board officials
next month in an attempt to find
out Just what the impeding force is"
and to try to prevent chaos
The Senator said Bradley Dewey,
deputy rubber director. previously
had told the committee a months
delay in the development of syn

leave rubber supplies below the
danger line by late next summer"

"We are convinced" he said, that
the overall situation is a desperate
one. The thing that disturbs me
most is that there is so much ap-
parent complacency and delay in
bringing synthetic rubber into pro-
duction.'
Senator Gillette expressed belief
that Mr.. Jeffers was doing his best
and said the committee wanted to
give him every chance to bring
order out of chaos and confusion"
But" ne added. we feel it is
time to ask for definite information.
The committee, Senator Gillette
said, would center its attention on
what he termed the delay in con-
structing plants to manufacture

McCarran Is Praised
For Hospital Campaign

A resolu ion from the Randle
Highlands Community Association
commencing Chairman McCarran of
the Senate District Committee for
his efforts to obtain additional hos
pltal beds for the District, will be
referred today to the Health Com
mittee of the Federation of Citizens
Associations.
L personally feel that Sena or
McCarran is doing wonderful
thing" Harry S. Wender, president
OF the Federation. declared. Il have
no doubt that the Federation is as
strongly in favor of more beds in
hospitals as 1t was year ago
In February, 1t was recalled. the
Federation called for funds for at
least 1000 additional hospital beds
IN the District. The demand at that
time came from DR.. Charles Camp
bell, chairman of the Health Com
mittee.
Mr.. Wender pointed out that there
was a particular need for hospital
beds in obStetrical cases. He de-
clared that the shortage of prac-
tlcal nurses-and even of maids and
cooks-made impractical the sug-
gestion that maternity cases be al
lowed to remain in hospitals only
five days.
The resolution referred to the
committee today was passed by the
Randle group in November. 1t also
urged an investigation of the possi-
bllity of a hospital on the eastern
side of the AnacoStia River. The
Anacostla Citizens Association,
which is asking for a hospital on
that side of the river, also has sub
mltted its resolution to the Fedora
ton, 1t was understood.
