Pretty ‘soon the corn meal began to swell, and ‘it went blup, — blup, making big bubbles on top that burst ‘with a splash as much as to say, “Stand away, everybody, we need more room.” Mrs. Woodchuck began to notice that the mush was clear up to the toy of the kettle and running over the edge. “My, my, I'll have to get another kettle!” she cried. “If I don't I'll kave corn-meal mush all over my clean stove.” So she ladled out about half. the kettelful into another pan and then she had two kettles on the stove. Blup, blup, blup! they went, the two kettles of mush did, and the first thing she knew, the mush was up to the top of both of them and starting to boil over like everything. “Oh, Wally, run and borrow Mrs. Bunny’s kettle.

AND I GET THIS ON GOOD AUTHORITY= LIKE PAYING FOR A DEAD HORSE | By Albert Apple ee Railroad, men estimate that it would cost 10. billion |dollars to abolish all highway grade crossings in the United \States. This, comments Barron’s Weekly, is about half-the , entire original cost of. building the railroads. When the roads were built, construction costs were very low compared with now. Grade crossings could have been eliminated in thousands of cases, by bridging streets and ‘roads above the steel tracks or tunneling them under, at no ‘great increase in cost. But the builders were not sufficiently prophetic in im- agination to look into the future and realize that grade cross- ings would later become a grave traffic problem, Now, at enormous expense, the railroads are gradually eliminating grade crossings—repairing their original blun der. It’s like paying for a dead horse. > The big traffic problem in cities today is that streets are too narrow. When the streets were laid out originally no one dreamed that the day would come when they’d not be wide enough. ‘The general measure seems to have been to make roads just wide enough for two wagonloads of hay to pass each other without going into the ditch. Despite this precedent, many old cities. continue laying out narrow streets, and even new mushroom towns fail to build wide enough highways for steadily increasing conges- tion of traffic, bound to come. ‘ —— . A large portion of human effort is devoted to undoing the mistakes of the past. This is especially true of indi- viduals. For instance, the majority of people seeking health in middle age, when they: should be sturdy, are the victims of improper living in youth. IM health as a. rule is the pay- ment of a bill that has been piling up for years. ‘ In some ways it’s a good thing we can’t rend the veil and have our futures revealed to us. But, if we could see ahead 10 years or more, most of us would change our habits, meth- ods, goals and purposes—abruptly and decidedly, ; Most people drift with the current.
