Whitefoot the Wood Mouse gave Peter Rabbit the slip. It wasn't difficult to do. Whitefoot is such a little fellow and can move so quickly that he can •Up into a hiding place without being seen, almost while you are looking at him.

If Chatterer had discovered Whltefoot's home yet. No sooner had Peter disappeared than Whitefoot slipped over where he could look up at the big wasps’ nest in which his own nest had been built and which had bo long been his secret home. Cour age was coming back to him now. He looked hastily in all directions to make sure that no sharp eyes were watching him. Then he quickly climbed that bush.

It bore the man-smell and that made him a little uneasy. But now that he was so near the en trance to that nest, he just couldn’t turn back. In half a minute he was in side. Everything seemed all right. He went all over that nest of his, every particle of it. Nothing had been dis turbed. Just around the entrance he caught just a faint whiff of that man smell. That was where Parmer Brown's Boy had poked his finger in through the doorway. Otherwise, nothing was wrong. This man-smell was very faint Whitefoot poked his head out of the doorway and peered down. He couldn’t understand matters at all. He couldn't understand how that neat was back where it had been after it had been cut down. Finally, he gave up trying to understand. “Perhaps things are all right after all,” said he to himself. "Perhaps Parmer Brown’s Boy didn’t know I was living there when he cut down this nest. I guess I’ll stay here a while and see what happens. Parmer Brown’s Boy is the only one who has found out yet where I live and somehow I have a feel ing that he won’t bother me. What I need now is a good nap. I’m all tired out. I suppose it is the fright I have had. Never did I have a worse fright.” So Whitefoot curled up in his bed and in no time at all he was fast asleep. Meanwhile, Peter Rabbit had found Chatterer the Red Squirrel and had speedily discovered that Chatterer was no wiser than he was, so far as White foot's home was concerned. "I tell you,” said Chatterer, “I don’t believe it is around here. Whitefoot is smart, but he never has been and he never will be smart enough to fool me.” “You’ve got a good opinion of your self, haven’t you?” said Sammy Jay, who came up just then. Chatterer turned his back to Sammy and pretended not to hear him. Peter thoughtfully scratched a long ear with a long hindfoot. “I saw Whitefoot Just a few minutes ago,” said he, “and I still can’t believe that his home can be very far away. You know as well as I do that Whitefoot never Is found very far from home.” (Copyrifht. 1930.) Down. 1. Meander. 2. Accustomed. 3. Countenance. 4. Cardinal number. 5. Feels Indignation. 6.

In the construction of the great air ship factory at Akron, Ohio, the most Interesting of all the problems was that of supporting and operating the big doors which comprise one end of the building. The doors are huge, and when open they must provide a clear opening of 180 feet high and 240 feet wide at the bottom. The opening Is i in the shape of a parabolalc arch. Each ! door weighs nearly 600 tons, and this weight Is carried for the most part on , trucks resembling small flat cars. These cars run on circular tracks having s radius of about 200 feet. The door segments are held at the top by spe cially designed hinges or swivels at tached to the main structure. Each lunge Is built up of forgings and cast j lngs and weighs about 3Vi tons. The doors will be opened and closed by a mechanism composed of four spe cially designed gears, operated by four 125 horsepower motors. * Household electrification Is progress ing rapidly to Germany.
