C, THURSDAY, APRIL Bedtime Stories Peter’s Interference. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. B et g —Old Mother Nature. ETER RABBIT has a wabbly little nose that he dearly loves to poke into other people’s business. That is because he is so full of curiosity. He doesn't mean to poke that wabbly littls nose into other people's business, and I doubt if half the time he knows that he is doing it. A lot of people are that way. You will find them every- where. They never seem to be wholly happy unless they know what their neighbors are doing and all about their affairs. Like Peter, they are full of curiosity, and because of this they, like Peter, are very likely to make a lot of trouble for others by interfering with the plans of the latter. Peter’s curiosity had led him over to the Smiling Pool, or rather to as near as he could get to where the Smiling Pool had been. It had over- flowed its banks and become a big pond. On the edge of this he had met his old friend Jerry Muskrat, whom he had not seen since the Smiling Pool had frozen over in the beginning of Winter. A hungry Hawk had seen Jerry and was just about to seize him when Peter interfered. He saw what was about to happen and with his stout hind feet thumped the danger signal. Jerry plunged headlong into the water without even waiting to find out what the danger might be. Act first and look after- ward is the rule that Jerry follows, and it has saved his life many times. Was that Hawk angry! You should have heard him scream. Yes, sir, you should have heard him scream. He hadn’t seen Peter until the latter had given the alarm, and he had been so sure of Jerry Muskrat. It was pro- voking. I think you will admit that. As Jerry vanished in the water the Hawk checked his swift rush through the air. He hovered over the little tangle of brambles, in the miadle of which Peter was now sitting. He screamed angrily. “I'll get you for this! Sooner or later I'll get you for this, Peter Rab- bit!” he screamed. “For what?” asked Peter, trying to| sound innocent. “You know well enough what for, you interfering good-for-nothing!"” was | the angry retort. | “I guess you would find me just as | good eating at Jerry Muskrat, if only you could catch me,” Peter taunted “You wouldn't call me good for noth- ing if you could catch me, and you know it.” This was true. Given his choice, the Hawk would probably have pre- ferred Peter to Jerry. He hovered overhead a moment or two longer. Saturdays % THE THOUSAND WINDOW BAKERIES OF LOOSE-WILES BISCUIT COMPANY % Then realizing the uselessness of this, he flew off to try his luck elsewhere, hoping that next time there would be no interference. Jerry Muskrat, who had been watch- ing from a little way out in the water, ‘with little more than his nose and eyes above water, now swam in and climbed back where he had been when the Hawk appeared. “Thanks, Peter, I guess you saved my life that time,” squeaked Jerry. Peter hopped out. from the brambles. “He called me an interfering good-for- nothing,” chuckled Peter. “I heard him,” replied Jerry. “You interfered all right. There's no doubt about that. It's lucky for me that you “HE CALLED ME AN INTERFERING GOOD-FOR-NOTHING,” CHUCK- KLED PETER. “Interference is a queer thing” mused Peter. “It often works two ways at the same time, just as it did this time.” “What do you mean by it works two ways?” asked Jerry. “It saved your life, didn’t it?” de- manded Jerry. “Of course, it saved my life. I| haven't said it didn't. What of it?" | retorted Jerry. | “And it upset that Hawk’s plans and cost him a dinner, didn't it?” Peter continued. Jerry nodded. “Of course,” said he. “What about it?” “Well, it worked two ways, didn't it?" cried Peter. “It brought you good | luck and it brought him bad luck. I | guess,” concluded Peter sagely, “that that kind of interference is all right— the kind that does more good than (Copyright, 1937.) e How It Started BY JEAN NEWTON. Academy. "ENGLXSH," it has been truly said, “spoken and written, is a wanton, a thief and a liar.” While this is rather strong lan- guage for such a broad generaliza- tion, almost any random instance will serve to illustrate its factual accuracy. “Academy.” for example, is used in English to designate what is popularly termed & “high school.” Sometimes it is applied to a special institution of learning as the West Point Academy or Academy of Music. Again we have it as a society of intellectuals, organized by their com- mon bond of interest in the further- ance of the arts or sciences, as the French Academy. It is this last sense which most nearly approximates the intrinsic sig= nificance of the term which was lifted from the Greek. “Academy” was originally the name of an open-air meeting place near Athens, so-called after the hero, Acadamus, where foregathered Plato and his followers, to ponder and confer, and evolve their school of philosophy.

They had covered a distance of 43!; miles to a little cabin, where they stopped to rest and have something to eat. ‘When they started after their picketed horses they were dismayed to find that two had disappeared. After discussing the situation they started back to the ranch, Bob and Bill riding the remaining horse and Jim walking. The two would go on ahead, one would start walking, the other returning for the boy left behind. The horse could average 20 miles per hour, and the boys could walk, respectively, Bob, a mile in 20 minutes; Bill, a mile in 15 minutes, and Jim, a mile in 12 minutes. How could the three reach | the ranch in the shortest possible time? (Answer on Page C-11.) (Copyright. 1937.) Girl Foretells Death.

OU may be paying a visit to your zoo and have an oppor- tunity to make acquaintance with the spotted hyena. Some people have a habit, as you know, of calling one, in times of stress only, a hyena. One may as well see what the creature looks like. This resident of Africa is the largest member of the tribe and the most powerful of the three living species of today. It is quite unlike its cousins in appearance as well as in its habits of associating with others. There is also one otper feature, and that is its practice of letting out the most un- earthly cries, that cause cold chills to race up and down your spine. There are rounded spots upon his coat. He does not possess a crest, as do some of his relatives, and not only 15 his hair shorter but his tail is supplied with a scanty hair coat. The hind feet are larger than the front ones. The legs are of almost equal length. The ground color of the fur coat is a yellow shade, with brown for the contrasting color of the spots. The face and lower parts of the legs are of the same dark-brown shade. Throughout Africa, south of the Sahara. the spotted hyena ranges . ng the eastern side of the conti- nent into Nubia and Abyssinia. Many years ago there were great numbers | of them, but they have been hunted for sport alone and for their unusual coats. Your side view of the hyena does not expose his naturally fierce ex-| pression. In fact, this creature seems to be in a “blue funk” most of the time, if you are to judge from pic- tures and the ones in captivity. Nevertheless, being in a mood for a fight, the animals are unusually ag- gressive. They are wary when this attitude suits them. They will enter a tent, making little or no neise, and will bolt at the slightest disturbance. They are always hunting. Cattle and other animals have little chance for their lives if the hyena “has their | number.” The natives fear and hate | them. There is little rest in a neigh- borhood until this invader has been captured These hunters establish regular routes. Little care they that you know of their smooth paths through | the woods and over the hills. After the night has passed, the hyenas go to their burrows to sleep. They will rest all day, unless there is a scent JUST FOR A NAME FOR THIS BABY GIRL! What Woman Can’t Name An Adorable Baby Girl Like This? A Housewife Has A Better Chance Than A College Professor!

In the olden days, when lions were plentiful, the hyenas feasted upon these great creatures. Fasting, even for .long periods, does not trouble them. During a hunting season, when | 50 many creatures are wounded, & hyena needs only to follow the trail of blood of some creature that is seek- ing a place in which to die. It is claimed by many that this ani- mal is increasing in numbers in some of his old haunts. However, the fe: to be seen in our country are guests, whether they like'it or not, and as they are held captive for the pur- pose of education, the prisoner has not lived in vain (Copyright, 1937.) T Germany Adds Airports. Germany is to add two more air- ports to the many already established and is preparing for additional civil aviation activities this year. One of the airports will be constructed in con- nection with the Tempelhofer Field at Berlin and will be three times the size of the present one. A five-story passenger terminal will be built to accommodate the 1,000 passengers using the air services each day. The D—5 Psychology* DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Sensitiveness. ENSITIVENESS is fundamentally a sign of intelligence. And by intelligence I mean an ability to see what's going on. Nature carries out a plan whereby those of its creatures that are des- tined to live most and to contribute most, must also sense most. Super ority is not attainable without sensi- tivity or irritability. That's w geniuses, as a rule, suffer from in- somnia, indigestion and sometimes insanity. In fact, the much-talked-of “insanity of genius” appears to be nothing other than the flowering-out of a highly sensitive set of nerves The behavior of the genius is bound to be erratic at times. The sensitive person is always on the alert That's why great painters see details in a landscape which the insensitive cannot recognize, even after they are reproduced. A good art critic must be an artist himself, so far as the nervous system is concerned. The same is true for the superior musician. He senses tone differences that ordinary mortals never detect And so it goes for every human e | deavor. The great men and wo: are those who are equipped to dets | what's going on about them. ght, 1937.) Zeppelin “Hindenburg” will on May 4 make the first of 18 flights to Lake- hurst, N.
