Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
To do a thing that must be done

To do thing that must be done
There's usually more ways than one.
This means, of course, that if one
way fails you shouldn't give up
and think the thing cannot be DONE.
You should try to find some other
way. Often 1t will be a most un-
expected way, way that you dis
cover by accident. There was the
case of Busy Bee and her fellow
workers when Buster Bear found
their storehouSe and began to rob
it of their honey. They had done
their best to drive him away. They
had used the sharp little lances in
their tails for all they were worth.
If it had been any one but Buster
Bear they would have succeeded in
driving the robber away. But though
they fought as hard as they could
and stung with all their might they
couldn't drive Buster away from
that honey. To Busters way of
thinking that honey was worth all
the pain OF the Stings. And then,
quite by accident, they discovered a
way of getting rid of him. Some of
them flying about found Farmer
Browns Boy watching what. was
going on and in the blindness of
their anger mistook him for an
other enemy and promptly treated
him as they had treated Buster
Bear.
Now Farmer Browns Boy has no
such thick skin as has Buster Bear.
At the first sting, which felt as if
q red-hot needle had been thrust
into him, he Jumped from his hiding
place, Before you could say Jack
Robinson half dozen bees had
stung him and a cloud of them were
about him. He forgot his interest
in Buster Bear In fact he forgot
all about Buster Bear. He had but
one thought and this was that he
couldn't get away from that place
quick enough, 1t had suddenly be-
come altogether too hot a place for

him. He let out a veil and it was
a good loud yell. Then he started
to get away from there as fast as
his legs would take him and he
didn't care how much noise he made
in doing it.
Now Buster Bear had been so
greedily stuffing himself with honey
that he had had no thought for
anything else. He had no idea that
Farmer Browns boy was anywhere
near. Usually his ears and his nose
are ever ready to warn him of the
presence of others, but this time
his ears were filled with the angry
hum Of the bees and his nose was
clogged with honey SO he had not
heard Farmer Browns Boy ap-
proach and he had not Smelled him.
Then right into the middle of his
enJoymet broke that wild yell. He
couldn't help hearing that.
Now, as you know, the one thing
Buster Bear fears is man. He knows
all about the dreadful fireSticks
which no one but man carries and
at the least suspicion that man is
about Buster runs away. If he we're
cornered and couldn't run he would
fight as bravely as the bravest, but
he is a firm believer in the old say
ing that he who runs away will live
to fight another day when man is
concerned.
The instant he heard that wild
yell he forgot everything but that
he was caught in a bad fix. He was
caught up a tree and that was no
place for bear to be with a man
about, even though that man were
only a boy. He lost all interest in

Firms Early Release

Many Firms now feel that the

lesser of two evils.
However, in the opinion of a quail

being felt both by the Firms and by
German troops holding down the
static front in the north.
The inability of the Germans to
use Swedish railroads after next
week will cut another slice from the
Finnish supply line
Firms realize they are in an
awkward spot and are not quite sure
just how to get out of it. They now
would listen to some kind of COM
promise from Russia which would
return even a small area taken over

cate them from the ally they now
realize is on its way to defeat.
Russia DisincIined.
Russia, however, shows no inclina-
ton, at the moment. to pay the
slightest attention to Finland
Rumors keep reaching Scandinavia
that the Kremlin is prepared at its
own pleasure to look more intentlv
on Estonia and Latvia as points of
particular interest in developing
postwar trade outlets.
Finland hopes that this primary
attention to ice-free ports in the
Baltic states will somehow improve
It's own position when Russia gets
around to talking terms.
Meanwhile, Finland gets more

ing his southwest conference
champions 10 Ia To : tri-
umph over the favored En-
gineers of Georgia Tech In the
Cotton Bowl. And the parti-
san crowd of &C. 900 observed
his strategy and gave a roar
ing ovation.
Texas had been expected to
throw the southwest razzle-dazzle
at the Engineers. But Bible de-
pended on the forward wall and
the hard running attack that car
ried the team to the circuit crown
and with It stopped the second
best team in the tough southeast
ern conference.
BACKS DO IT
That Longhorn line and two
hardy Texas backs, Roy Mckay
and Jackie Field, supplied the
margin of victory. Mckay, the
workhorse of the team, kicked off,
punted, passed, ran and kicked an
extra point. Field turned in a
dazzling 60-yard run for a third
period touchdown that provided
the winning margin. The line
smothered Techs Wanted Clint
Castleberry. the 155-pound fresh
man, and staged a goal line stand
in the games fading moments to
prevent a tie.
SIX times Tech smashed
into Texas territory, but only
once was 1t able TO hit pay
dirt. Texas. however, threat
ened only three times - and
scored twice.
The game barely was under way
when Tech made its first bid. Pat
McHugh intercepted Texas pass
and Tech drove to the 81 before
being stopped. Then McHugh
fumbled punt and Texas re-
covered on its As.

With McKay's passing and run

Longhorns went So yards, scoring
from the two on pass from Nc

the point for a to 0 Texas lead.
That Texas front wall made
three more stands before the half
