“Recently a ealle: at our offi«v

‘The only provision in the social se

"The worker may return to <i»ver

Marriage No Bar
No woman worker in Sweden may
be discharged from her job because
of engagement to marry, marriage,
or maternity. This privilege, latest
of many won by Swedish women,
has been guaranteed in an act
passed by the parliament.
Badge Saved Copper
Constable Lucien Bouchard, Mont
real, is glad they make police
badges out of stout material. A man
he sought to question fired at him
point-blank, but the shield deflected
the bullet so that he was only
stunned.
Guards Pay
A pay envelope in a man’s pocket
tends to make him more cautious.
Miss H. Louise Cottrell of New York
university, says. “On paydays,”
she explains, “there is a noticeable
drop in automobile accidents.”

Eddie Duchin, prominent band
leader and pianist, has his hands

Short of Pennies
Canada is short of pennies. The
Dominion has purchased 1,000,000 of
them from Buffalo banks for de

Canadian bank handling the pur
chase paid for the pennies at par

GRANNY DISCOVERS OLD MAN
COYOTE’S SECRET
GRANNY FOX listened to the
great voice of Bowser the
Hound as it rolled across the Green
Meadows and through the Green
Forest and she scowled. “What has
that careless scamp of a Reddy been
doing now?” she grumbled. “I’ve
warned him and warned him to keep
away from Farmer Brown’s ducks
and chickens while it is easy to get
enough to eat down on the Green
Meadows and here in the Green
Forest. I thought he had learned
his lesson, but it seems that he
hasn t, for as surely as I am sitting
here this blessed minute that good
for nothing dog is chasing him now.
It isn’t the hunting season yet and
we ought to be left in peace while
fll^
“What have you been doing now?”
she demanded sharply.
the weather is warm. It must be
that Reddy has been after these
chickens in spite of all I have said.”
Meanwhile poor Reddy was puffing
and blowing as he tried to fool Bow
ser the Hound and get him so mixed
up that he couldn’t follow Reddy’s
track any further. At last he suc
ceeded and then, so winded and
tired that he could hardly walk, he
joined old Granny Fox. He panted
for breath as he dropped on the
ground at her feet. You see, he was
so fat and had done so little running
that he was in no condition to make
such a long, hard run as he had had
to. Sparks of anger flashed from
Granny's eyes as she looked at him.
“What have you been doing now?”
she demanded sharply.
“Nothing.” panted Reddy. “I
haven’t done a thing.”
Garden Tractor
Like the vacuum cleaner, there is
on the market a light garden tractor
with interchangeable tools which en
ables the user to cultivate soil, make
a lawn, maintain it, spray it, and
do numerous other things which are
ordinarily done by the hand. This
tractor does it all with power.
Cat Screams
Hoseman Emil Altimiri, Philadel
phia, heard screams issuing from a
burning house and, fearing the
worst, rushed full tilt into the flam
ing structure. Groping through
dense smoke Altimiri discovered a
cat frantically clawing at a cellar
window.
Rabbits Invade Land
Jackrabbits are moving in on the
Idaho farmers who till the soil bor
dering sagebrush land in the lower
Boise valley. Dryness has caused
the rabbits to invade the grain and
hay crops. Defensive measures are
being taken.
Raccoon as Pet
The New York state conservation
department has granted a special
permit to Mrs. Hugh Glasgow of
Geneva, which allows her to keep
a baby raccoon as a household pet.
The little raccoon answers to the
name of Jerry.
Died Penniless
Beau Brummel, who, in immacu
late, fastidious attire, set fashions
for years, died penniless in 1840,
the possessor of only unkempt, tat
tered garments.
Most Affected
Government experts estimated
neany 65 per cent of the total crop
land in the United States, or 282,-
659,000 acres, w r as affected by some
phase of the agricultural adjustment
program in 1938.
4 Carpetbmg’ Bonds
The Alabama state finance depart
ment has purchased $32,000 in “car
petbag” bonds, floated during recon
struction days. They will be placed
in a sinking fund preliminary to
eventual retirement.
Penny Post Card
Governor Dickinson, of Michigan,
whose hobby is economy, once used
a penny post card to send instruc
tions to his office w’hile he w r as out
of town.
Boy Succeeds
A 12-year-old boy cleared $82.58
from a half acre of peppers in Samp
son county. North Carolina.
Cows on Increase
Agricultural economists report the
number of milk cows in the United
States is on the increase.
"Don’t tell me that!” snapped
Granny. “Farmer Browm’s Boy
doesn't get his gun out for nothing
at this time of year, and I saw him
with it hiding behind the old stone
wall where he thought you would
cross. It is a lucky thing for you,
Reddy Fox, that you didn’t try to
cross there. Now what have you
been doing? Haven’t I warned you
to leave those ducks and chickens
alone? I wonder if you ever will
get any Fox sense into that silly
head of yours!”
Poor Reddy! It was bad enough
to have to run until he was out of
breath and tired enough to drop, and
then to be blamed for something he
hadn’t done! It was too much.
“I haven’t been near those chick
ens and ducks!” he snapped. “It’s
so long since I’ve tasted one that
I’ve almost forgotten what they
taste like. I haven’t been doing
anything. That pesky dog found me
asleep on my sunning bank and I
waked up ju£t in time. That’s all
I know about it.”
Granny asked a few questions and
Reddy told her about his dream and
how it had turned from a beautiful
one into a bad one, and then he had
waked up just in time to run for his
life. Reddy was so much in earnest
that Granny just had to believe him.
“That’s different,” said she. “It
is very clear to me that Bowser the
Hound was led to your sunning bank
by somebody who knew that you
were there. You stay right here un
til I come back.”
With this old Granny Fox slipped
away through the Green Forest.
Straight through the Green Forest
and down across the Green Mead
ows she trotted. As she drew near
the far corner of the Green Meadows
where Old Man Coyote’s home is she
crawled on her stomach so as not
to be seen, and she took the great
est care not to make the least bit
of noise. By and by she reached a
place where she could see Old Man
Coyote's home. There he lay
stretched out taking a nap, and
near him were two or three bones
which Granny knew to be chicken
bones.
“I thought as much!” said Gran
ny to herself. “He’s been stealing
chickens and is making Farmer
Brown’s Boy believe that it is Red
dy or me. We’ll see about this!
You may be smart, Mr. Coyote, but
there are others! Yes, sir, there are
others!”

Scientific Garden Facts
The gardener who is interested
merely in the beauty of the garden
may not be intrigued by the scien
tific facts concerning plants. Yet
there are many for whom a good
fundamental botanical knowledge
adds much to the pleasure of gar
dening. To know the difference be
tween bulbs, corms, rhizomes and
tubers has perhaps no particular
practical value to the home gar
dener, but it certainly adds to the
lure of one’s hobby. Equally as in
teresting to know are the terms that
define the arrangement of flowers.
Can you tell the difference between
a spike, razeme and panicle, a
corymb, cyme and an umbel?
A home owner will be repaid
many times over in convenience
and safety in installing a front-door
or entrance light. Such an entrance
light, in addition to making unnec
essary groping in the dark for door
or keyhole, can prove an attractive
feature. Such lights can be con
trolled from the inside of a house.
Squirrel Amnesia
Traces of a squirrel suffering
from amnesia some 800 years ago
have come to light at Miranda,
Calif. In cutting down a giant red
wood more than 1,300 years old,
John D. Bushnell found a squirrel’s
cache in which it had hidden its
winter supply of acorns and appar
ently forgotten about it
