Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Sammy jays eyes sparkled as he
watched the spot Of green he had
discovered under the pile OF brush
in the swamp through which the
Laughing Brook finds it way to join
the Big River. All around was
water, for, you know, it was spring
and the melting snow on all the hills
way up where the Big River has its
beginning were pouring more water
into the Big River than it's banks
would hold as it hurried down to the
Great Ocean. 1t Just couldn't hurry
fast enough to take all that water
as fast as the water ran into it, 20
the water had crept over the banks
in places. It had done this right
here in the little swamp where Sam
my was
Sammy sat perfectly still, for he
learned long ago that only by keep
ing perfectly still may one see all
that is to be seen That green spot
had moved He was sure of that.
And if it moved it must be some
thing alive. If 1t was alive it must
be somebody, and Sammy wanted to
know who it was. Try as he would,
he could not remember any one who
wore such glossy green as that. So
he sat perfectly still, for he knew
that if whoever was hiding under
that brush should even guess that
he was being watched he would not
come out.
His eyes sparkling with excite
ment, Sammy watched He was i'm
patiently patient. Did you know
that it is possible to be mpatiently
patient? Well, 1t is Sammy was
just boiling with impatience inside,
but he didn't let that impatience spoil
the patience Of his waiting. He sat
there just as still as still could be,
with his eyes fixed on that green
spot. and you never would have
guessed that he was fairly bursting
with impatience to know who it was
he was watching That Is what is
called self control 1t means the
power to make yourself do a certain
thing no matter how much inside
of YOU you may want to do some
thing else. 1t Is splendid thing to
have, is self-control
after what seemed to Sammy a
very long time, the green spot moved
again. Little by little something
reached out from under the pile OF
brush. 1t was head, very beauti-
full green head, and 1t was exactly
like Mrs. Quack's head. only hers
was sober brown instead of green
Sammy choked a little gasp Of sur
prise as sudden thought popped
into his head. Could this be the
lost Mr. Quack? He had forgotten
that probably Mr.. Quack dressed
differently from Mrs. Quack, and he
had been looking for some one all in
brown.
There was the bang OF 4 terrible
gun somewhere over on the Big
River and the green head was hasti-
" withdrawn under the brush, but
not before Sammy had seen a look
Of terrible fear in his eyes. II be-
lieve 1t Is Mr.. Quack!" thought sam

"Activate," Of course, means "to

the word was seldom used except in
chemistry. mineralogy and embryol-
ogy. Today, in Army parlance, "ac-
tivate" means "to prepare for active
service; to be recruited and equipped

which in one night can lay your
hopes low and put back your pro-
gram for several weeks.
Within the borders OF the United
States there are five groups OF them
Townsend moles, the largest men,
bers of the clan, are known in the
Pacific Coast States, and they are
quite abundant. The Great Basin
and Rocky Mountain regions do not
appeal to the mole tribe.
In their food habits moles are
almost entirely carnivorous. Meat
they must have in abundance. In
order to satisfy the ever-present
hunger, moles use up terrific
amount Of energy. They dig through
soil, shear the roots of valuable
plants. ruin bulbs and construct un-
slightly ridges through the garden
and close to the surface of lawns
and golf links. Fat grubs are con-
Sumed by the hundreds.
Unfortunately for the gardener.
the mole is passionately fond Of
earthworms. Now, as every one has
been reminded, earthworms are most
important allies of ours. Without
their able assistance the soil would
be almost unfit for use. Therefore,
to know that this public enemy No
l OF victory gardens has to be
reckoned with gives the advantage
entirely to the planter.
The culprit has a low-swung body
covered with close, plushlike fur of
rich blackish brown. 1t is damp and
dirt proof. The front legs are pow
erful. short and with broad rounded
hands, palms turned outward. The
sharp claws are used for shearing
roots, digging soil and pressing it
aside to form tunnels and burrows
The short hind legs are used as
kickers of soil and for pushing the
body along Keen hearing and
highly developed sense Of touch are
used by the hunter. Total darkness
in the tunnels has not called for
vision and the mole is almost blind.
Sociability among moles is taboo.
When two males meet headon along
the tunneled highways, a fierce
battle results. But the mole has
few foes. His flesh has a strong
musky flavor, Owls do not object
to 1t, but moles only rarely come
out in the open, even at night
Therefore, the mole does not have
to rear large families, and the infant
mortality among them is low. The
triplets or quartet remain with their
mother in their grass-lined nursery
until they reach the age OF one
month. From this time on they
must fend for themselves.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, April 20

refugee conference swung into its
first full session today, little hope
appeared Of large scale rescue Of

conference can accomplish much
toward such a goal.

Gently introduced from Italy, has become
one Of our popular vegetables. 1t is rated

heat and drought much better than cauli-

heads are produced for a period of to
10 weeks as side branches. The culture
practice is the same as for cabbage. Young
plants may be started indoors for an early

Chinese cabbage or celery cabbage
is easily grown in Michigan. 1t is an ex-
celent substitute in salads for lettuce, and
stores fairly well over winter. When the
seed is sown in the garden in the spring
the plants mature in midsummer and fire.

.Q-What is the purpose Of this
restricting the transfer
of workers?
A-To set up rules under
which workers may be trans
ferred in an orderly manner to
the war jobs on which they are
needed most and to assure that
such transfers will be In con-
fOrmity with the Hold the Line
order.
Q-Does the order apply on ;
nationwide basis or only to Sc
lected areas or industries?
Alt applies on nationwide
basis with special provisions for
areas or industries i'm which APP
proved War ManpOwer Commits

Q-What are the special pro
visions in areas or industries where
employment sterilization program:
exist?
A-Transfers of workers from
essential to other essential ac-
tivities may be made without
regard to changes in wage rates
or salary scale IL In the interest
of the war effort. Statements of
availability issued by employers
or War Manpower Commission
officials serve as evidence that
transfers are being made in the
furtherance Of the war effort.
MAY STILL TRANSFER
Q-Does the regulation freeze
workers in their present jobs!
Att does not. In areas where
employment sterilization pro-
grams are In effect workers may
transfer in accordance with the
terms OF such programs. In
other areas they may transfer to
jobs at the same or lower wage
rates. No restriction, however,
Is placed upon the transfer be-
tween activities not included in
the essential activities list and
from such activity to essential
activities.
Q-What effect does this regu-
lation have on existing rights OF
under agreements with
their present employers?
A-None whatever. Since this
regulation Is concerned only with
transfers of workers to other
employers the rights with the
present employers are not af-
fected.
