THE CHILDREN’S STORY

By THORNTON W. BURGESS

A REAL APPETITE PETER RABBIT was provoked. He certainly was. Wasn’t it enough to provoke anyone? There he had hunted in vain for Short-Tail in order to make a call, and then Short-Tail had suddenly appeared only to disappear quite as suddenly. “That fellow doesn’t know what common politeness is,” grumbled Peter as he vainly stared this way and that. “Oh. yes, he does,” replied a familiar sharp, squeaky voice, and Short-Tail the Shrew popped out from under some leaves. “I’m not impolite, but just busy. We hunters have to work for what we get to fill our stomachs. We can’t sit down in one place and fill up the way you can." “Are you a hunter?" exclaimed Peter, his eyes popping right out with astonishment. “Certainly! Of course! What did you suppose I was?” replied Short-Tail testily. “I didn’t think much about it.” confessed Peter, “but I never in the world would have supposed you were a hunter. What do you hunt?” “Anything that walks, crawls or flies, in the worm or insect line,” replied Short-Tail, promptly, as he popped out from under a piece of bark with a fat beetle, which he proceeded to gobble as if he were half starved. “Oh,” said Peter, “I thought you meant that you hunted real folks, the same way Shadow the Weasel and Reddy Fox and all the rest of the hunters do." “I do once in a while,” replied ShortTail, as the last of the beetle vanished. “If any young mice happen along you’ll see whether or not I am a real hunter. They don’t have to be so young either. I’ve killed more than one mouse bigger than I am. I’m ready

for a fight with anybody my own size any time. But looking for bugs is just as much hunting as it is for Hooty the Owl to try to catch me. If you don’t believe it, just you try to catch some of those big beetles.” “No, thank you,” replied Peter, very promptly. “I’m quite willing to take your word for it and to leave them for you and Jimmy Skunk. I should think that one big beetle like the one you have just eaten would last you all day.” “Last me all day!” cried Short-Tail. “Why, that wasn’t a bite. It would take a dozen like that to make me a meal and I have to have several meals a day. It is a bad day when I don’t eat twice my own weight in food. You see anybody active as I am must have a lot of food to keep him going. I have to run about a great deal to find food enough, and the more I have to

run about the more food I have to have to keep me going." He disappeared before Peter could reply. “Twice his own weight in food in a day,” muttered Peter. “He says he eats twice his own weight in a day. I thotight I was some eater, but I guess I’m not. Twice his own weight in a day--phew!’’ “That’s nothing. Sometimes I eat three times my own weight when I’m lucky,” squeaked Short-Tail, appearing in front of Peter as abruptly as he had disappeared. This time he had a snail. “Are you going to eat that?" asked Peter. “Not now," replied Short-Tail, “I’d like to, but I guess I’d better put it away for next winter. Excuse me. please.” Short-Tall vanished with the snail. "My goodness, what an appetite!” exclaimed Peter, as he waited. ©, 1933, by T. W. Burgess.--WNU Service.

both suppleness and strength here and for these players the springy steel shaft in a measure offsets their deficiency. In this way they are able to get more distance to their shots without the shock that the thicker, less pliable shaft would necessarily give. Supplementing this springy shaft with a deep, heavy-faced club will give a feeling of life to the club that will undoubtedly result in better play for the average player. Swung smoothly and not too fast, it will undoubtedly please both the golfer with weak wrists and the more powerful golfer whose wrists are not limber. ©, 1933, Bell Syndicate.--WNU Service.

Genius

The genius of Shakespeare was an innate universality, wherefore he lay the achievements of human intellect prostrate beneath his indolent and kingly gaze. He could do easily men’s utmost. If what he proposed to do hereafter, would not in the idea answer the aim, how tremendous must have been his conception of ultimates. --Keats.

OUR DEBT

By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

HE WHOM I owed died ere the day Arrived I had the means to pay, Yet that did not discharge the debt; For there were heirs remaining yet, And courts and conscience both require We pay the son, who owed the sire. Yet some of us who owe the vast indebtedness we owe the past Forget the future fair must be As was the present made for me. The past is dead, the world declares, And yet the world must pay its heirs. How many times men gave me aid And then within their graves were laid! But still the debt I owe survives, And I must brighten other lives, Must pay the debt, though they are gone.

SALT’S HIGH PLACE IN WORLD TRADE

Medium of Exchange Long Before Gold. Less than a century ago a good buxom wife in the East Indies could be purchased for a handful of salt; many slaves which were brought to the United States from Africa were bought and paid for, not with gold, but salt, reports the Worcester Salt institute in outlining the many interesting activities carried on by man in seeking to satisfy his need for salt, remarking that the salt standard in the history of commerce antedated the gold standard. As a medium of exchange salt was widely used in many ancient countries. The Mogul conquerors of India made decrees thousands of years ago regulating the standard of salt that was used for money. In Asia and Africa cakes of salt were frequently employed as money. Up until comparatively recent times salt was used as a medium of exchange in the Shan markets in Indo-China. Besides being used as money, salt in days gone by was a powerful developer of commerce. Being essential to life, and unavailable to tribes remote from the sea, from which the substance was obtained by evaporation, trade routes were early developed to provide the transportation of salt. For hundreds of years a caravan route was maintained between Palmyra and Syrian ports. Even today much of rhe caravan traffic in the Sahara is largely in this precious commodity. The oldest road in Italy is not the Appian way, but the “Via Salaria,” the Salt road along which salt was anciently carried from the evaporating pits at Ostia to the Sabine territory. Indeed, according to historians, the largest city in the world, London, was first founded because of the salt trade, continues the Worcester Salt institute. During the earliest days of European history salt was sent from England to the continent. Cheshire and Worcestershire provided salt for Britain and Gaul, and the route for its transportation crossed the country in a southeasternly direction, crossing the Thames, then very shallow, at a ford where Westminster now stands. An inn was built to accommodate salt haulers when the river was too swollen to ford. From this humble beginning as a resting place for salt traders the great city of London resulted.
