Little Journeys ENRY SWIGGET, down near Carrollton, Mo., bing his stubbled chin the while he figures. months ago he decided that rabbits around his place were a bore, and he thought a seductive trap would be about the right thing to meet up with them. The thought fathered the trap, all right, and then he held aloof. But the rabbits, at the end of six months, were quite as evi- dent as of yore. He investigated, only to find that the trap had fallen into the possession of a huge swarm of bees. After some effort he drove the bees forth and they left behind them some 35 pounds of good honey, which Henry appropriated. What is he figuring about? Well, for one thing, he wants to know whether or not he has been stung by good luck, the rabbits or the bees. ee ue is rubs Several HEN Mrs. Tony Baruzzni opened the front door of her home in Des Moines, Iowa, an evening or two ago her keen nostrils detected the fragrant odor of broil- ing beefsteak. She wondered, but she smacked her lips Then she investigated. As she moved toward the kitchen she heard | y footsteps passing out the back door. made her suspicious and she repressed her appetite while she let her eyes rove to the bureau drawer and elsewhere. Some $15 was missing. That made her blue for only a moment, and then she turned happily back to the kitchen, saying, “But supper is ready and I didn’t have to cook it. Such nice burglars.” The Alleys of Long Ago RAGEDY: A spark from the chimney of a Boston tenement destroys an enormous pile of kindling wood on the roof. This wood had been brought from miles away by small boys of the families that live below. Thruout the hot summer they had toiled, hauling the kindling in toy wagons or breathing heavily as they trudged along with their precious cargo in their arms. “About $100 damages,” reported the prosaic firemen. But the official record does not cover the disappointment and heartache of the small lads whose toil has vanished in smoke. To them it is a tragedy. Grown-up men will sympathize with these poor Boston boys, as memory takes them back to alley-prowling of years gone by. The alley had not been virtually eliminated then by city congestion and high land values. It was the choice playground of all red-blooded lads. There we gathered kindling, collected old iron and bones for the junkman, or searched near the livery stable for the symbol of good luck—the horseshoe. HE alley, as a boyhood institution, is just about gone, except in smaller towns or villages. City youth, never having tasted this sweet, doesn’t know what it is missing. But a considerable army of us, if boys again, wouldn’t trade, for modern youth’s radios and movies and other marvels, the old-time alley and its fences disfigured with initials carved by the proud owners of Christmas jack- knives. Progress is fine, cluttering life with fancy manufactured articles. But we lose a lot of the great thrills and pleas- yres when we forfeit simplicity. Tom Sawyer’s natural habitat is an alley. Booze Arrests N THREE years Uncle Sam’s sleuths have arrested 177,000 for violating the prohibition law. That's 59,000 a year—or one out of every 1,900 Americans. Which cer- tainly is a very small fraction of the sellers and drinkers, Prohibition cannot be successful until the campaign against liquor reverts to what it used to be—educational, rather than an abstract plea to obey the law. The educa- tional campaign was dropped too soon, Intoxicating? OW much alcohol makes a beverage intoxicating? Any step to “ease” the prohibition regulations will hinge on thi cuestion. Possibly a scientific clinic will result, to test the effects of liquor on people, Conscription, would hardly be necessary. Intoxication depends on the drinker. A hyper-thyroid person, virtually immune to stimulants, gets less kick out of a whole pint of brandy than the average man out of two drinks. The Small Wonders yeu never know what you're eating. In a cake of yeast are 2¢ times as many cells as there are people in the world. Nature’s big-scale marvels fire the imagination as in astronomy, but her greatest wonders are in the microscopically small. There seems to be no limit to size big or little. f Jay Walkers SAFETY FIRST official in New York defends jay- walking. He says arresting a jay-walker is trespass- ing on liberty. “The pedestrianshas the right to the high- ways, whereas it is only a privilege for vehicular traffic to operate upon the highways,” This is ridiculous. A pedestrian’s rights, if we are going to be practical, are limited to sidewalks from which autos are barred and crossings where streets intersect. He has lo more business on the pavement between crossings than he has on railroad tracks.
