couldn't help feeling a wee bit
afraid of him.
Now about this time Busy Bee and
her fellow workers made up their
minds that. 90 what they might,
they couldn't drive Buster Bear
away and the least excited Of them
began to load themselves with
sweets from their storehouse to
carry to a new storehouse. They
knew that they had got to begin
their summers work all over again,
and they didn't propose to waste
any time in crying over what had
happened. They would save some
thing from the wreck with which to
make a new beginning. So most of
them hurried to load themselves
with honey before greedy Buster
Bear should get all of it. But a few,
still mad clear through, were flying
about looking for new enemies, and
some of these discovered Farmer
Browns Boy.
In an instant they had darted at
him. Before he knew that he was
discovered what felt like half a
dozen red-hot needles were thrust
into him and the angry hum was
all about him. That part of the
Green Forest to which he had gone
because of its GOODNESS had suddenly
become a hot place, and with every
thrust of those little lances it be-
came hotter Farmer Browns BOy
was no longer in doubt. His mind
was made up. He wanted to go, and
to go as quickly as he knew how.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
A Hot Place In a Cool Place.

How can 1t be so hot in a cool
place? Just ask Farmer Browns
Boy. He knows. He had gone to
the Green Forest because he had
thought it would be cooler there
than anywhere else on that dread
fully hot day. And he was right. In
the depths of the Green Forest it
was fairly cool. You see, the trees
made shade, and it was only here
and there that the jolly Little Sun
beams could find a way through the
millions of little leaves of the trees.
So Farmer Browns Boy was quite
comfortable as he walked silently
through the Green Forest looking
for the cause of Sammy Jays ex-
citement.
When at last he reached the big
hemlock tree which was Busy Bees
storehouse, and which at that very
moment Buster Bear was robbing of
its honey, Farmer Browns Boy was
still quite cool and comfortable, but
no sooner did he discover what was
going on than he broke out into per-
splration just as If he had suddenly
stepped into a very warm place. Of
course the air wasn't any warmer
there than elsewhere in the Green
Forest 1t was excitement and per-
haps a little uncertainty as to what
might happen If Buster Bear should
discover him that made Farmer
Browns Boy p prspire and feel sud-
denly hot all over.
For a few minutes he just stood
right where he YVES and stared. He
knew that Buster Bear was very
fond of honey. You remember that
once Buster had stolen some honey
from the beehives in Farmer
Browns barnyard, and that time
Farmer Browns Boy had frightened
him away, But he never had real
lied how very, very fond Buster Is
of honey as he is now. Like Sammy
Jay he wondered what Buster could
be made of to stand the stingS of
all those bees just for the sake of
something to put in his stomach.
Buster was making the funniest
noises you can imagine. There
would be groWl and whine of pain
as bee found a particularly ten
der spot and thrust her sharp little
lance into it, and right on top of
that would be a grunt of pure en-
1oyment as he scooped lot of
honey into his mouth
1t was funny. Yes, sir, it was
funny sight to see. Buster squirmed
and twisted as the bees stung him,
but he didn't once stop his greedy
scooplng out of that honey. 1t was
smeared all over his greedy face
1t had dripped down on his black
coat. He was getting himself into
a dreadful mess. But it was plain
to see that he didn't mind this in
the least. In fact, he didn't mind
anything, not even the stingS of the
bees. He had forgotten everything
but his stomach.
Farmer Browns Boy wanted to
stay and he wanted to go. He want
ed to stay and see what Buster
would do when he finished all the
honey. He wanted to go because
in spite of the fact that every time
they had chanced to meet Buster
Bear had run away as fast as ever
he could. Farmer Browns Boy
couldn't get over the idea that
Buster might not always run. You
see, Buster is such a big fellow,
with such great claws and teeth,
that Farmer Browns Boy just

oils all come from tropical coun-
tries. We need them in the manu-
facture of glycerine, drying oils,
soaps, perfumes and many other
products.
Just when everything looked
gloomy along these lines, We found
an almost unlimited supply close
at hand in the Western Hemis-
phere. All that is essential is the
construction of better machinery
for handling the product, better
transportation facilities where the
palms grow and higher wages to
attract skilled labor
There are billions of babassu
palms growing throughout the lower
Amazon Valley. They are espe-
cially numerous in the state of
Maranhao, which lies along the
seaboard below the great delta of
the Amazon. Because of the pres
enceof more than billion of these
palms this state is known as the
"Babassu State"
To date, very little of this vast
area has been explored. In spite
of this situation, there is an an
nual harvest of about 10000 tons
of the babassu kernels To handle
this harvest there are about $4,000
natives employed.
Babassu fruits grow in punches
at the base of the great fronds.
Some Of them weigh as much as 80
pounds and produce more than 81
per cent OIL When the fruit is ripe
it drops to the ground. This elimi-
mates much labor and saves time.
Native women are employed to
crack the nuts and remove the ker-
nels. They sit upon the ground
under the trees each placing q nut
between her knees. A stout club
or blade of an AK is used to give
the nut sharp tap. A skillful
worker can crack a large nut and
remove the kernel In less than one
minute So far, no machinery has
heen developed to do this work as
efficiently.
Brazil and the United States are
working on plans to handle this
great industry on vast scale that
will be mutually profitable. Since
there are countless babassu palms
throughout the great Amazon VAL
ley, as we'll as shrubs and vines
rich In fat and oil, there will be
no lack of these for the fabrication
Of machinery and the manufacture
OF the many other products we
need. Again we have had proven
to Ills that our needs are met
abundantly and within reach when
We are ready to make use Of the
supply.

cies ip the nasty little plans of Herr Goebbels. One of these is his fanatic insistence that Hitler
 hall have the entire credit for
 bsolutely everything in this year
 f our Lord, l94433. MT. Ettlinger
 hinks this significant-it was probably a source of pride to Herr Hitler in the day of his
 uccess; now it looks to MT. Et- tinger as if perhaps Goebbels were laboring to set up a conven- ient postwar scapegoat. (Bobbs- Merrill, ($2!75). ,.
 Another side of the German medal is exposed by Carl Garner in 'The War Against God" One of the Nazi textbooks, 'Bolshev- ism in the Bible," has this to say about Christianity: 'The teach ing of mercy and love of ones Ineighbor is foreign to the German race, and the Sermon on the Mount is, according to Nordic sentiment, an ethic for towards and idiots" MT. Garner has col lected a great number of state ments from people as different as Bishop Manning and Sergeant James Dunlop to prove that the German plan is to eliminate the religious principle from the world. (Holt; $$2.75).
 We must not, Curt Riess main- tains in "The Invasion of Ger, many" be content with only a peaceful occupation of Germany this time, as we were in the last war. We must do a little earth scorching of our own, inside the German borders. MT. Riess indi- cates how it can be done, where it can be done, and the probable conditions. we shall find inside Germany, One of these condi- tions will not be revolution, he is sure. And one is quite likely to be poison gas. (Putnam; $25o).

Special Servlce discoveries be- gan to come thick and fast, and hardly a train went north from Anchorage that didn't bring an other round peg for round hole.
 Pvt. Harold E. Wheatley, Jr., Air Force at Fort Richardson, ar electrical specialist with the 11th rived to accompany Van Brunt on the piano. Wheatley, who had received offers from such big name orchestras as Dick Jurgen's before the war, but who was too busy studying engineering to take them up, now plays dinner music together with Van Brunt in the lavish Mckinley dining room and keeps the recreation hall resounding with rich boogie- woogie in the evenings.
 Other Air Corps men from Fort Richardson arrived-Sgt. Geo. C. Rathke came to help Yo- kel. Cgt. Rathke was profes- sional skier at Sun Valley be- fore the war. And Pvt. Arlo Thompson who owned a chain of theaters in Iowa before induction arrived to operate the moving picture projector.
 Pvt. Etienne s. Loupy, an ac- countant and bookkeeper in San Francisco before the war, was sent to be accountant and book keeper at Mckinley. Actually the soldiers consider Loupy the funniest william they have ever seen in amateur dramatics, and he keeps 'em laghing in such productions as "The Mighty Me Kinley Art Players" "The Corn tented Hour" and "The Visit ing Firemans Hour"

is now desk clerk at Mckinley. Previously, he had served over l two years with the Quartermas- 1 ter in Alaska.
 1 Getting down to the less spec ialized help at Mckinley, the Army's method of selection is less apparent. Pfc. Gibson Baker, who put in over two years with an infantry unit at Seward, can't for the life of him figure out why the Army suddenly put him on northbound train one day last June to wait on table at McKin- ley, particularly in view of the fact that he had never perform ed this type of service in his life. However, Pvt Edward P. Rem her, former hotel auditor from St. Louis, the head waiter, says Pfc. Baker gives the type of smiling, unassuming service that only professional waiter knows how to give, so it must be as sumed there was some sort of mysterious logic behind the Army's selection.
 Others of the help at McKin- 
 ley include the inevitable 1st Sergeant, Sgt. Glenn F. Sween- ey, former athletic instructor at the University of Oregon, who keeps This boys" on the job seven days week, (none of the sol diers working at Mckinley have had a day off since they have been there) and he also acts as master of ceremonies at the en- tertainments. Pvt. Willard w. Williams, genuine coWhand from the West, keeps the horses during the summer, and the chef, Sgt. Stanley WasZak, together with his c. |. cooks, turns out food that tastes very much like it used to in the old days when room and board at the Mckinley Park Hotel cost $20 per day.
