1t seems rather strange that
state utilities commissions all over
the country have not taken more
of hand in the hearing now he
ing held in Little Rock by the Fed
eral Power Commission into the
inter-company contract of the
Southwest Power Pool.
For years, states have devoted
lots of time and attention to set
ting up their own regulatory bod
les to keep constant watch OVER
the affairs of light companies wat
er companies gas companies, street
car con panies, and other utilities
in their states.
And yet over IN Little Rock the
Federal Power Commission is en-
gagged in conducting hearing
which has far more signiiicaA'
meaning than just seeing that pro-
per rates are fixed for power sup
piled by the Southwest Power
Pool to the Arkansas aluminium
plant on Lake Catherine.
Ir the first place, the supplying
of power to the aluminium plant
is purely an intra-state matter. :.

I'd contract with the Arkansas
Power and Light company for part

and is doing so. The Arkansas
Department of Public Utilities ap-
nroved this contract after COM
plete study of the rates charged
by Arkansas Power and Light com
pany. The contract had beer ne
gotiated thoroughly by the various
interested war agencies. And the
vate was acceptable.
And now a Washington bureau

steps into the picture and attempts
to establish that it has Juridlctlon

Many players in the tournament
were not so lucky. West did not
double them at six spades and they
went down through losing spade
and club (since no one, without
the double, could be expected to
know how badly the spades would
break. And while Vests double in

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

The days were growing shorter
and the nights cooler. The leaves
OF the Green Forest, except those on
the pine and the spruce and the
hemlock trees, were turning red and
yellow and brown and dropping to
carpet the ground and rustic be-
meath unwary feet. AS often rs pos
sible Peter Rabbit slipped over to
the pond of Paddy the Beaver to
see if Mr.. and Mrs. Quack and the
10 young Quacks were still there,
and each time he found them grow
ing more and more uneasy. He
knew that it would take very little
to start the mon their long journey
to start them on their long journey
far away Southland, the sight of
other Ducks flying overhead, or
sudden fright.
Just at dusk every evening they
flew over to the Big River to feed
among the rushes there, Mr.. Quack
leading. His wing, which you re-
member had been broken by shot
from a terrible gun in the spring,
was as sound and strong as ever. In
fact Mr.. Quack was quite himself,
big, strong and handsome. AS for
the young Quacks, they were full
grown now and eager to try their
wings in long flights and to see the
Great World Very early every morn
ing they returned to the pond OF

Forest to spend the dav resting

One afternoon Peter slipped away
from the dear Old Brier Patch over
to the Green Forest and hurried
straight to the pond of Paddy the

mind. Just by chance he had peeped

out of the dear Old Brier Patch Just
in time to see man passing, and
under one arm he carried a terrible
gun. There was no doubt about that.
Peter knows terrible gun when he
sees it. He watched the man out of
sight, and he disappeared in the di-
rection of the Big River. Right away
Peter thought of the Quack family.
Just supposing that hunter should
be hiding near where the Quacks
usually ate their evening meal?
Peter shivered little at the thought
OF what might happen. Mr.. and MIS-.
Quack ought to be warned, and there
was no one to do it but himself.
Peter started early enough, but as
is his way he had to stop ever so
many times to look at things which
aroused his curiosity. When he had
satisfied it he would remember his
errand and scamper lipperty-lip-
perty-lip as fast as he could until
something else stopped him. So it
was almost the Quack dinner time
when at last, quite out of breath, he
reached the edge OF the pond of
Paddy the Beaver. He was greatly
relieved to see all the Quack family
still there.

Just in time for what?" asked Mr..
Quack.

you to go to the Big River tonight" !"
cried Peter. Il saw hunter with a
terrible gun going that way this
afternoon, and he may be there yet"
If Peter expected that his news
would excite the Quack family he
was mistaken, very much mistaken.
In fact, it wasn't news at all. I'VE
saw hunter over there last night,
and so we knew that the time has
come for us to CO." explained Mr..
Quack. We're ever so much obliged

South trumped it. Though South
realized that West might have
doubled on the strength of heart,

South also saw a strong-enough
possibility of Vests having had all
four outstanding spades to make
it worth while to play for that dis
tribution. If it turned out to be

the hope of clearing the club suit

Parents and Shoe dealers predicted
today that the shoe fatiCning pro-
gram should stimulate the return Ct
the barefoot boy.
Lack Of special provisions for
children's shoes was expected 70
cause hardships, especially IN FAM
ilies where there ere two or more
children In the active ages.
The dealers pointed GU that some
active boys would wear out two pair
Of shoes between now and the end
Of the flrst rationing period IN June.
They said Il would be especially DIFF
flcult for families that buy the
cheaper grades Of shoes for ctlil-
dren w shoes made Of poorer ma,
terials - which wear out more
quickly. !
One temporary solution q pro-.
vided In the pooling Of, Q fanlily'e
shoe coupons. Thus, parent could
use one Of his own coupons TO buy
shoes for the children but the par
ent would run out Of coupons soon
In q large family. NJ
There has been no ofilcial inter.
probation yet, but there was . pos
sibility that special shoe purchase
certificates might be issued in such,
cases. One provision Of the program
allows issuance Of such o certificate.

lotted annually, II the person can
prove that he has only one pair Of

Gilbert Hahn, head Of q large

Of shoes q year was q pretty good
average, but that the average FOR
women was higher. 'ga 2t9H
Another shoe dealer said women

mum Of i've pairs Of shoes Q year.
He admitted, however, that sosme Of
the women's purchases were for
