Bedtime Story for Children By THORNTON W. BURGESS PETER DISCOVERS SNOWFLAKE R‘ OyOH BROTHER NORTH WIND hurried up one big cloud after an other. and Jute in the afternoon white, feathery Hakes came drifting down out of the sky. Peter Rabbit sat tight In the dear Old Briar Patch. All night he remained squatting just inside the entrance to an old hole Johnny Chuck’s grandfather had dug a long time ago In the middle of the dear Old Briar Patch. Some time before morning the snow stopped falling and then Rough Brother North Wind worked as hard to blow away the clouds as he had to bring them. "nWhen jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun began his dally climb Up In the blue, blue sky he looked down on a world of •white. It seemed as If every little snowflake twinkled back at every Jolly Little Sunbeam. It was all very lively and Peter Rabbit rejoiced as he scam pered forth In quest of his breakfast. He started first for the weedy field where the day before he had found Dotty the Tree Sparrow and Slaty the Junco.

At once'Peter discovered that they were not alone. Quite as busy seek ing seeds ns were Dotty and Slaty was a bird just a little bigger. The top of his head and back were a rusty brown and on his back were streaks of black. Back of each eye and on each shoulder was a little patch of this same rusty brown. The inner tail feathers were black, and the outer half of the long wing feathers were black. Otherwise he was dressed all in white. It was Snowflake and Snow Bunting. Peter knew him instantly. He knew that there Is no other small bird who Is so largely white. Peter had his usual question ready. “Are you going to spend the winter" here. Snowflake?” he cried. Snowflake was so busy getting his breakfast that he did not reply at once. Peter noticed that Instead of hipping he walked or ran. Presently he paused long enough to reply to Peter’s ques tion. “If the snow has come to stay all winter, perhaps I’ll stay,” said he. “I can’t understand how folks can be contented where there is no snow and Ice. You don’t catch me going way down South. Why, when the nesting season comes around I follow Jack Frost clear up to where he spends the summer.

HINTS FOR HOMEMAKERS I 'T'RY adding a bit of grated lemon rind with the usual seasonings for pumpkin pie; It gives an added flavor. In every well-furnished kitchen one should find accurate scales and meas uring utensils, a pair of shears to be used only in the preparation of food; and since the success of a dish de pends often upon timing its cooking or baking, a reliable clock. , When cooking squash,, wash and scrub it well, then cut Into convenient •ized pieces to go into the ateamer. Cook until tender, then scoop out the squash, mash, season with butter, cream, salt and a grating of orange peel. A small amount of sugar adds much to various dishes, fresh vegeta bles, meats and meat sauces. It ac centuates the various flavors, binds them into a harmonious whole and en riches the color. When starting out for a day ,of shop ping buy or carry a small package of your favorite candy. When feeling ready to drop with fatigue eat a piece of candy and see how quickly you are pepped up. It will drive away that exhausted feeling and give Jou plenty of energy to carry on. Sugar is one of the world’s greatest energy foods.' The hundreds of pounds of candy that were consumed by Admiral Byrd’s men during their long Antarctic winter witl testify to its value.

Barbara earthquake, I was in Hollywood, having a place In Charley Chaplin’s ‘The Gold Rush.’ This was to be my first Christmas on land. Dur ing my seafaring days I never had a Christmas tree. This Christmas I was going to have a tree for father and me. Dad was expected home from a voyage he was making in the Oceania Vance. No end of preparations were made for that tree. v "Christinas morning I (Reamed—not a cheerful holiday dream, but a dread dream—that - '! saw my father under water, saw him struggling to get out. Restive,'l went downstairs early. “In the kitchen I found^io gifts, but an unusual^ article for our house, a tabloid. I never buy them. The cook must have bought this one. Across the top of the first page was the fatal headline. ‘Los - Angeles Captain ‘ and Crew Lost.’ The captain was my fa ther, the boat was the Oceania Vance. My father-wag not with me for Christ mas. “I kept the candles on the tree burn ing for him. New candies were in serted as the old ones burned out I kept repeating, Til keep the Christ mas tree, daddy; you will have your Christmas tree.’ “By the New Y,ear the Oceania Vance was found at the bottom of the ocean. It was overturned there, with out any sign of the crew. The dis tance of the vessel from shore was too great for any human to swim; the length of time since the disaster was too great for any human to endure without food. “I kept the Christmas candles burn ing. . “Eighteen days after Christmas my father walked Into my house. He and his crew had been picked up by a Mex ican fishing smack and taken to south ern Mexico, from where he could not communicate with us. “He has a strange sense of fore boding. All seafaring people have it They are superstitious and augurous. You can Imagine hov^-annoying this Is to ship owners. One thing they never do is to talk about a wreck. “He greeted us. All he ever said about his absence was said then: ' *1 didn’t want the ficeanla Vance, I told The - owners I ^didn’t want to take 1L.

I felt that I was suffo cating; and that falling timbers were crushing me. My mqtber was trying to save me, but only to be, herself, dragged down. Then a strange man tried to save us. He had an (igly gash in his left cheek and was s&on caught under th$ timbers with us. I awoke screaming. “The dream had been so vivid that. I ran to my mother’s room to make sure she was safe. I could not go back to sleep. The next morning I felt so wretched that my mother decided it was best for us to*stay at home, and not go on the boat “That afternoon the boat, with its gay young house guests, ran Into a heavy storm and was wrecked when the captain Kied to land It on a rocky shore far up the river. The party was rescued on Sunday morning, but sev eral of the boys and girls suffered severe illness from shock and exposure. “My best friend was badly hurt be neath a part of the ringing of the boat, whlefr bad been torn loose during th,e ti storm. I was amazed when she told me that on Thursday she, too, had had a dssam similar to mine. I was more amazed when, during my call the captain of the boat came to see her, and I saw on his left cheek an ugly fash, from the accident, the 'same as marked the man In my dream.” Endless Fend “Is the vote all counted in Crimson Gulch?” 1 ■ “Yea,” answered Cactus Joe. “Will there be a recount?” “No. The City Council and the Board of Trade and the Chauber of Commerce and the Welfare association, each consistin’ of myself and a couple of friends, have agreed that there’s no use of startin’ up the perpetual dispute about who’s goln' to get- the offices.” Roll Call “What.are yon going when congress meets again?’' “I haven’t thought up anything be yond my first speech,” answered Sena tor Sorghum. “I am thankful that the votes of friends at home will still per mit me to say present/* Oil SHU Moving About Geologists say that oil la still mov ing about in the earth.
