Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Billy Mink's Mistake.

Peter Rabbit had been quite right
about Billy Mink. Billy was hun
CRY. He was especially hungry for
a dinner of tender young birds. He
had eaten fish until he felt as If he
would turn into a fish himself He
was tired of fish and wanted a
change. I guess you know how he
felt. No matter how fond of a
thing we may be there comes a time
when our stomachs grow tired of
1t. This Is true even of candy and
Ice cream when we have had too
much of them. And it was just
that way with Billy Mink.
When he had started out that
morning Billy had had no particular
plan. He just trusted to luck to find
something besides fish to eat. He
had stopped at the Smiling Pool =,
pass the time of day with Jerry
Muskrat, and it was while he was
there that he had noticed Rattles
the Kingfisher flying down the
Laughing Brook with tiny fish in
his big bill. 1t wasn't long before
ne was back watching for another
f1sh, and when he caught it he took
1t OF down the Laughing Brook.
This was enough for Billy Mink. He
knew right away what it meant. 1t
meant that somewhere down the
Laughing Brook was a home with
babies in 1t. The very thought
made Billy's mouth water. He cut
his visit with Jerry Muskrat short
and started down the Laughing
Brook.
Now, unlike Peter Rabbit, Billy
knew just what to look for, and
where to look for it. He knew all
about the ways of Rattles the King

way back at the end of long
hall was a nestful of young birds.
If he had stopped to smell little
more carefully that nose Of his
might have told him something else.
But he was so eager that he didn't
stop to find out all that his nose
might have told him That was
where he made mistake-a very
great mistake. If he had needed
his nose he would have remembered
something which he had quite for
gotten in his greedy haste. He
would have remembered that he
hadn't seen anything of Mrs. Rat
ties, and Mrs. Rattles carries quite
as big and sharp bill as does Rat
ties himself
But Billy had forgotten all about
this, and in his greedy haste pushed
on along that narrow hall where
there wasn't room to turn around.
1t was a mistake, very great mis-
take. Half way to the nest at the
end Of that long hall Billy found it
out.

Typographical Errors.

Ridiculous typographical errors,
sent to me by eagle-eyed readers,
are quoted in this column from
time to time. Typohowlers are
very funny, but not to the unfor-
tunate author in whose lines the
mistakes occur. This column Is per-
haps the most vulnerable of all
syndicated writings, especially as
it employs phonetic spelling to in
dicate the fine shades of pronuncia-
ton. Often a single erroneous let
ter, which ordinarily would pass
unnoticed, makes gibberish of a
correct" pronunciation, and calls
down upon my unhappy head the
hilarious jeers of the multitude.
Here is good example: Recently
I gave the correct pronunciation of
the word patio as: PAH-ti-oh. One
paper garbled the first syllable to
such an extent that, in that par
ticular city, shall go down in his
tory as the crackpot who tells people
to pronounce patio as "HAP-i-oh!"
Another error in certain paper
has me saying that certain ar
ticle of mine had brought in a
"veritable flood of injuries!" In
still another paper, am made to
describe one of my educational
pamphlets as being very voluble."

fisher, and just what kind of
place he would choose for a home,
and he didn't have a doubt of be-
ing able to find 1t. But he took
precious good care not to let Rat
ties the Kingfsher catch a glimpse
of him. He knew that if Rattles
once saw him going down the Laugh
ing Brook he would mount guard
over his home, and Billy was of no
mind to face that sharp, spear like
bill which Rattles possesses. So
whenever he heard Rattles coming
Billy hid until the way was clear
once more
You remember that Billy was hid
ing right near the sandbank where
Rattles had made his home at the
time Peter Rabbit, watching from
the opposite shore, discovered it.
All that Peter saw Billy Mink saw,
too. He saw the little hole close
up under the edge of the high
sandbank where the grasses hung
over and partly hid it. He saw Rat
ties 60 in and come out again. And
when he swan across to the foot
of the bank and tested the air with
his keen little nose he smelled young
kingfishers. Before he had made
up his mind just what to do he
heard Rattles returning and once
more hid. The instant Rattles de-
parted again for another tiny fish
for those hungry babies Billy scram-
bled up the bank. There was no
time to lose. He wanted to get those
babies and get away before Rattles
should return. He had nothing to
fear from the little kingfishers; they
would be quite helpless and HARM
less.
So Billy scrambled up the sand
bank and in the hole. The instant
he put his head inside he forgot
everything but the feast he would
have, for his nose told him that

West took the diamond king with

South then laid down the ace and

break. Next, South played the ace

West did not cover the jack, but
South trumped it in dummy any

East was able to overtrump the

key play-he led the jack of dia-

Woodward Traces
Expansion Of Navy

Declaring the United States Is
the "only power in the world that
can use sea power properly" Rear
Admiral Clark Howell Woodward OF
the Office of the Undersecretary OF
the Navy told members of the
Georgia State Society last night
that "our Navy has been more than
doubled since Pearl Harbor %
months ago"
Speaking at dance held by the
Society at the Shoreham Hotel, Ad-
miral Woodward said the old saying
that the Navy is the first line OF
defense no longer holds true.
1--WE must keep the enemy as far
from our shores as possible" he de-
clared. 1--WE have greatly extended
our bases and lines Of communics :
tions' to alleviate the danger OF
being attacked"
In comparison to the 383 "com-
petent ships" of 1,313,000 tonnage
tOtaling our Navy in 1941, he said
the present figure stands at 6l3
competent ships" with 2,217,0OC
tonnage, excluding ships sunk
transferred to other nations or con-
verted into noncombat vessels.
when the ships now under con-
struction are completed" Admiral
Woodward continued, the total
tonnage will be 100000, three times
that of pre-Pearl Harbor."
The admiral was introduced by

crat, of Georgia.

Pu|pwood Campaign
Supported by Knox
BY the Associated Pres.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-Secretarv
of the Navy Knox today indorsed
the 27-state pulpwood cutting cam
palgn sponsored by the Nation s
newspapers in an effort to avert any
further shortage of paper for eS-
sentlal civilian and military uses.
Cut a cord of pulpwood for every
local boy in service is the slogan
Of the intensive drive scheduled
November II to December IL under
direction of Walter M. Dear. chair
man Of the newspaper pulpwood
committee.
In a letter to Mr.. Dear, Secretary
Knox declared the Navy looks to
the producers of pulpwood-from
which paper is made-to provide
enough raw material to package the
food, equipment and supplies being
shipped to American and Allied
forces overseas.
THE pulpWood cutter and the
United States Navy have the same
aim Mr.. Knox said. 1T is to win
this war as quickly as possible. One
way to help reach this objective
is to cut cord Of pulpwood for
every local boy in service"
The need for pulpwood was en-
phasized in the Secretary's letter,
which said:
The Navy looks to pulpwood pro-
ducers not only for paperboard con-
tainerS, however, important as they
are. Thousands Of cords of pulp
wood are consumed as powder in
the firing Of our big guns. It is used
as gauze in treating our wounded

of paper are needed for blueprints

Price Adjustment Awaited.
There is every indication that
until this question is settled there
will be no return to normal pro-
duction. An operators spokesman
in Alabama said several CONNER
cial mines in that state cannot and
will not reopen until new prices
are fixed. Some in Arkansas took
the same attitude.
UNIV officials here expressed
confidence virtually all the miners
will go back to work tomorrow, but
reports from the fields said many
are confused and uncertain about
the new wage scale. There were
some predictions it will be the mid
die of the week or later before some
60 back to work.
A survey showed this situation
yesterday.
Alabama-3,100 of $4,000 union
miners working.
PennSylvania-19 900 of 10000 an
thracite miners working and ap-
proXimately 40 per cent of soft coal
miners
Illinois-Full Crews at about one
third of mines and Illinois produc-
ton 35 TO 40 per cent of normal.
Kentucky-5,000 of $4,000 UNIV
men working.
West Virginia-Approximately q
per cent of 10000 miners working
Indiana-Strip mines operating
but only skeleton crews at shaft
mines.
There was little or no production
from union mines in Arkansas, Ten
nessee, Oklahoma and Virginia.
Meanwhile, the Districts employ
ment service reported it had made
5,541 job placements during October
an increase of 985 jobs over the
previous month. Of the total. 933
workers were sent to defense plants

OF the 4,6l4 local jobs, District
USES Director Charles E. Farmer
reported, 1927 were filled by women
and 1857 by men. New applications
for employment during the month
amounted to 1854, of which l.742
were made by women and 2,O22 by
men.
