BEDTIME STORIES /! Peter Tries to Call Jerry. sure you know just what to do, t you in ¥ain your mewon rue. —Old Mother Nature. leter Rabbit sat.on the bank of the ing Pool. The Black Shadows lay ly across half of it. It was very and the water was as smooth as & lows. You see, Peter wanted some- to talk to. Redwing the Black- had gone to sleep long ago. For *JERRY 1S SOMEWHERE AROUND,” SAID PETER WITH A GRIN. Some unknown reason. Frog was nowhere about. no one. ‘There was a sharp sudden boom just over Peter’s head that made him jump. Yes, sir, it actually made him jump. You see, it was so wholly unexpected that for an instant Peter didn't realize who or what had made that noise. ‘Then he realized that it was Boomer the Nighthawk. Boomer had swooped down in that headlong way of his to check himself just above Peter’s head, Grandfather ‘There was making that loud noise. And then his | swift wings had taken him up in the air I‘I{:!.t’ Peter hadn't even had time to prof . ‘The faintest of faint odors tickled the wabbly little nose of Peter. It was an odor that he recognized. It By Thornton W. Burgess. was an odor that he never got any- where excepting around the Smiling Pool, or in_ certain places along the Laughing Brook and the Big River. Peter sniffed two or three times and finally caught it again. “Jerry is somewhere around,” said Peter with a grin, “for that is his own special perfume that I smell. Several others of aiy acquaintance carry per- fume, but none like that that Jerry Muskrat likes so much.” Of course, Peter meant the musk which has given Jerry his name of muskrat. Unlike Jimmy Skunk’s, Jerry Muxkrnl'smrrfume is not unpleasant. Peter ratl enjoyed it as he sniffed and sniffed, for it was not too strong. Then, too, he felt certain that Jerry must be near, or there would be none of that odor. = “I know what I'll do,” thought Peter. “I told Jerry Muskrat that I would not thump on the roof of his house. I won't thump to be mean, but I'll just call him. If I thump once or twice, he’ll know that I'm here, and then per- haps he'll come out. It's a good thing that I know just where his house is in the bank. If I didn't, I wouldn't know where to come. I won't thump hard. Tl thump lightly and Jerry will understand.” So Peter hopped along until he judged he was right over Jerry Musk- rat's house. To make sure, he peered over the edge of the bank. He could see an entrance under water—a hole. Peter hopped back a little way, so as to get right over Jerry's bed room. At least, that was what he was trying to do. He knew that from that opening down under water a quite long hall led at a slant up to & snug bed room just a little way below the gnssroou. Peter thumped lightly: then hopped over to the edge of the bank and looked down. He expected to see Jerry Muskrat come out of that hole down under water. Jerry didn't come out. So, after waiting a few minutes, Peter went back and thumped again, this time a little harder than before. Once more he hurried to the edge of the bank and looked down. He waited and waited, but he waited in vain. No Jerry Muskrat appeared. A third time Peter went back, and this time he thumped twice and he thumped hard. “There!” said he. “I guess that will wake him up. He must have been sound asleep.” Then Peter once again hurried to the edge of the bank and looked down. Some one shot out of that hole under water, but it wasn't Jerry Muskrat.

(2) What will make my eyebrows and lashes long and dark? (3) What can I do for small pimples and blackheads on my back? MISS VERA H. ¢ Answer.—Usually a tall, slender girl looks her bhest with a long-haired coif- fure, especially if the neck is long and thin. A low side part that brings the hair over the forehead will help to make your face look shorter. Wear your hair in a low coil or twist on the Dape of the neck. Curl a few bangs on the forehad near the part and bring a wisp of hair in a curl in front of each ear.

JUST inside the big building that ¢ houses the War Department at the | Pennsylvania avenue entrance a large | bronze plaque has been set in the wall. It is perhaps the most _unusual of the many hundreds scattered over Washington — un- usual in that it commemorates horsesand mules. It honors the 243- 135 horses and mules which were used by the Ameri- can _forces during | the World War. Tt | is a tribute to the 68,682 beasts killed in the conflict. The plaque was placed there by the Red Star animal relief department . of the American Humane Association. Gen. Pershing’s own tribute to the| horses and mules which served with the American expeditionary forces in Prance STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. is inscribed thereon. The general has said that horses and mules were a mighty factor in pushing the World War to a successful con- clusion. Nor is this the only recognition ac- corded the animals by the Government. In Sycamore street in Columbus, Ohio, a one-time doughboy corporal today wears the Distinguished Service Cross because he forgot danger to him- self during a bombardment of the little French village of Migneville one June night in '18, and risked his life to save the animals intrusted to him. Curtis Harrison enlisted in the Army at Circleville, Ohio, in what was then the Ohio National Guard. When the war broke out he was sent to France as a corporal, and was made assistant wagonmaster of the supply company in charge of the animals of the 3d Bat- talion of the 166th Infantry. Harrison was on duty in the Baccarat sector in the little village of Migneville on the night of June 18 when the Germans started a terrific gas bom- bardment. JUNE 24, 1930. At the first gas alarm, Corp. Har- rison made for the barn where his horses 4nd mules were quartered and adjusted gas masks on all his mounts. Later that night the Germans sent over shrapnel and high explosives which penetrated the barn in which the corporal’s animals were billeted. Again Harrison—this time alone— entered the place to care for them. ‘Twice he was knocked over by concus- sion and twice he was wounded in the leg by shrapnel. But he stuck it out—for 12 hours. “With uttef disregard for his own | personal safety,” comments the War Department in its recommendation for the award, “he remained on duty in an | effort to keep the animals in piaces of | safety.” And if it hadn't been for Harrison's heroism, his battalion might never have been able the next night to effect a | necessary movement. Mouse-Opossum Found. * Described as being half tail and half mouse, a mouse-opossum has been found in Argentina. From the tip of its nose to the end of its tail it meas- ures less than five inches. It hangs from trees and does other acrobatic feats with its tail. My Neighbor Says: Powdered alum sprinkled in the crevices of uphoistered furniture will exterminate moths.

MOTHERS AND THEIR CMILDREN. Finding an Appetite. One motner says: Our little daughters lacked a moming appetite so we sent them into the yard every morning. saying: “Find your s~ petite, it is outdoors somewhere.” In Winter their sleds, toy snow shovels, | helped in the hunt. In Spring, the buds on the trees, looking for birds and first blossoms made calling them to breakfast a necessity. Summer de- lights followed, then the joys of Au- tumn. All these interests, with the actlvity involved, brought appetites to the enthusiastic little girls, bubbling over with the news of what they had found. (Copyright, 1930.) Monkeys Fashionable Pets.
