Barge Will someone kindly pleas explain Just why it ia we try in vain To like thines we're eblised to do Bat years tot those which are taboot OF course Peter Rabbit was greatly tickled to take Old Mother Nature's message to Johnny Chuck. He scam pered straight over to Johnny's home as fast as he could go, lipperty-llp, llp-perty-lip, lipperty lipperty - lip. Johnny was sitting on bis doorstep. He looked very lazy and comfortable and as if he hadn't a care or worry in the world. Probably he didn't have just then. But they were not far away. They were headed straight for him and coming, lipperty-lipperty-lip, as fast as a pair of long hind legs could bring them. "Hello, Johnny !" cried Peter, as he came up quite out of breath. "You're going to school tomorrow, morning." "I'm not!" snapped Johnny Chuck. ; "You are!" declared Peter. "I'm not!" 1 ' "You are!" "Who says I am?" Johny glared at Peter angrily. ; "I do," chuckled Peter. "Can't you hear? I've been telling you so ever since I got here. You are going to school tomorrow morning. Old Mother Nature sent me over here to tell you cot - to fall to be there on time. So long. Johnny. I'll see you over there in the morning." 1 "1 won't go." declared Johnny as Peter started for his home in the dear old Briar-Patch. Peter said nothing, but all the way to the dear old Briar-Patch he chuckled. He know that Johnny Chuck would not. dare to disobey Old Mother Nature. As for Johnny, his day was Quite spoiled. He grumbled and growled to himself. He didn't want to go to school. He didn't want to learn any thing about his relatives He was per fectly satisfied with things as they were. The truth is he was already beginning to grow fat with good living and he was laxy. There was plenty to eat right near his own doorstep, and he hated the thought of going far for it. So he kept saying over and over, that he wouldn't go to school the next morn ing, but all the time he knew, right down inside, just what Peter Rabbit knew that he would. ' Sure enough; the next morning, just as Old Mother Nature was opening school, Johnny Chuck came waddling through the Green Forest. He didn't look at all happy and he didn't reply at all to the greetings of the Others. rpvHAT it's just about all over now but A the balloting and the counting and the shouting, i - fai la v That the candidates , who get the most votes are going to win.

I wish you would . stroll down to the waiting station at corner of First and Alder, and note the dirty condition 1 of .wood work, walls, etc; lack of seats for one third of the crowds waiting in ordinary times. Also If some fresh paint were used on the cars it would help the looks of things and create a better impression of the city. .Also, another thing: How can pedestrians be any more careful when autos are parked on the streets : with tops so dose to the corner that the wheels are right in line with the front of the buildings, and you have to step out from back of one before you can see the l streetT 'Should there not be at least the length of two autos left from each corner? ; Tou can see this on most any street that allows parking, t i Yours truly.

"Good morning, Johnny Chuck." said she. i Johnny 'bobbed bis ', head and said, "Good morning." "I understand." said Old Mother Na ture, "that you are not at all interested in learning anything more. I am sorry for anyone who doesn't want to learn. The more one knows the better fitted he is to take care of himself and do his part in the work of the Great World. However,' It wasn't for your benefit that I sent word for you to be (Copy rich t. 192ft, fey T. W. Burcess.) "Who says I am?" Johnny glared at Peter angrily here this morning. It. was for the benefit of your friends and neighbor a Now sit up so that all can have a good look at i you." Johnny Chuck obediently sat up, and of course, all the others stared at him until he felt most uncomfortable. "You remember," said Old Mother Nature, "how surprised you all were when I iold you that Johnny Chuck Is a mem ber of, the Squirrel family. Happy Jack, go sit beside Johnny, and the rest of you look hard at both of them and see if you do not see a family likeness." Seeing I Happy Jack Squirrel and Johnny Chuck side by side, Peter Rab bit saw at once that there was a sort of family look abdut them. "Why 1 Why-ee!

Galli Curci Is Paid Tribute By Layman r By Bob Swayse H7PER-CRITICS have had their fling with Galll Curci. We have con fusedly reveled with them In technical terms that have meant- nothing to the common mind. But the laymen that vast majority who still retain enough of the unclad savage to be soothed by sweet sounds has written nothing about her. As one of these and one who has no knowledge' of musical technique I wish to pay my tribute to this remarkable woman. . , : And as an humble layman I believe lit is possible to find terms which will convey to' the average person some Idea of the beauty which is imprisoned in Galli Curci's throat. Why shouldn't lanquage which ' adequately describes the loveliness of flowers, the stern beauty of mountains, the picturesque ap peal of cataracts, the tenderness of love, the glory of sunsets, the keenness of grief and the thf 111 of joy symbolise somewhat of our appreciation of this vocal marvel? .. Nevertheless, it is wellnigh Impossible to put in mere words an exact represen tation of Galli Curci's genius. Only In relation to and comparison with other things may we 'approach her towering peak of supreme accomplishment. A heaven that is up and a hell that Is down give us mental pictures of two ex tremes. We use the one as a symbol of perfect bliss, the other as an expression of naked misery. When we say a thing is heavenly we have crowned it with the superlative. Only by calling Galll Curci's voice heavenly and remembering that the other extreme conveys a contrary idea, may we approximate how she excels in the use of the vocal chords which are our constant mlnlstera So unusual and so unfamiliar is the sweetness with which she garbs mere speech that we are -perforce conjured to believe . that those tinkling notes are only temporary earth ly pilgrims who come gloriously into our audible vision only to fade gradually later on as If they had gone to join the poet's consummate glimpse of a light that was never on land or sea. We can judge causes only by effects. Then, how does Galli Curci affect us? What emotions does she arouse? Does she make us feel nobler? Does she make us penitent for sins of omission and commission? Does she inspire us to finer resolve, worthier ambition? Does she flood us with so much beauty that we feel that life is not all weariness and poetry not a dream? Under the witchery of Galll Curci's voice, in its lilt and flutter, "as swallow flights of song that dip their wings In tears and sktm away," we become con querors each in his own little rjalm. she touches this theme and that theme, she makes of us a poet greater than Shakespeare, a lover more Intense than Romeo, a warrior more fearless than Alexander, an orator as silver tongued as Demosthenes, a mourner whose woes exceed 1 those of Niobe and a penitent as holy as St. Anthony. Who would say that this power to transfigure the commonplace, which is The m a j o r i t y of these have been reduced in price for this selling event. - --;--, " " t ----- A Special Offering DRESSES Taffetas Georgettes Satins Tricolettes $39 Silk dresses and wool dresses and what a beautiful array!

But how soon the dream pageant fades when her song Is ended! And this evan escence is one more sign of her supreme genlua genius which is always fleeting, which touches and adorns and is gone like a snowf lake on a river. The reality becomes unreal and we are an awakened somnambulist of a shattered dream, wondering in what fairyland of beauty' our subconscious memory has chanced to lead us while we slept. . I have heard the Kentucky cardinal, bis top-knot streaming like a gory sun set as he trembled with a tumult of notes, sing his heart out to an early morning sun and Galli Curci's Is his mate. .
