BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON W. BURGESS

DANNY MEADOW MOUSE WISHES HE HAD STAYED HOME WHEN Danny Meadow Mouse crept Into the little hole tn the bank of the Smiling Pool his heart was beating so fast that It hurt. Then too, he was so tired that it didn’t seem to him he would be able to move again for a long time. You see, crossing tbe Smiling Fool was a long swim for such a little j fellow as Danny Meadow Mouse. He had not been In the water for a long time before, and so of course swimming tired him much mope than It would hare done had he been in the habit of swimming every day, It wouldn't have been ao bad if he hadn’t been obliged to swim just as fast as he possifily could. As It was. the Big Pickerel who Ilves In the Smiling Pool had almost caught him. So between his terrible fright and his hard work Danny was quite used up. He laid down and for a while Just panted and panted, and all the time wished that he had stayed at home , where he belonged on jhe other side of the Smiling Pool. By and by his heart stopped beating so fast, and he didn’t have to pant so to get his breath. You know the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows recover It Was the Head of Snapper, the Big Snapping Turtle. very quickly from fright and weariness. This is a wise provision of Old Mother Nature. If It were not so they would not be prepared to meet unexpected new dangers. So It wasn’t a great while before Danny once more felt quite himself.

Just watching him made Danny hungry. Grandfather Frog had once more climbed out on his big. green lily pad. Danny looked down Into water and his heart gave a little jump. Half hidden under some lily pads was the Big Pickerel who had so nearly caught him. Danny didn't need to be told that the Big Pickerel was lying there in the hope that Danny would once more take to the water. Suddenly an ugly black head with wicked looking horny jaws was thrust out of tbe water in the middle of the Smiling Pool. It was the head of Snapper the big Snapping Turtle, and the very sight of him made Danny shiver, for he knew that nothing would suit Snapper better for a dinner than a fat meadow mouse. More than ever Danny wished be had stayed at home. ©. T. W. Burge**.—WNU Servtc*.

The west half of the bridge to a suspension structure comprising twin suspension bridges anchored, into a huge concrete monument in the center. A double-deck tunnel pierces Yerba Buena Island, occupied by army, navy and lighthouse services, and the double-deck bridge continues over a 1,400-foot cantilever span, 5 through truss spans, and 14 deck truss spans before It lands on a fill extending out from the Oakland shore. At the eastern shore, trestles carry the bridge traffic on to three branches—one for Berkeley, one for Oakland, and one for the business section of Oakland and Alameda. The piers of this bridge—sl in num-ber-set new marks on engineering frontiers, going deeper below water than any previous substructure has heretofore been built Some of the piers go as far as 237 feet below low tide.

Bible Critics Silenced in Face of Evidence

The crucial question about the potsherds inscribed with Hebrew writing, discovery of which is announced from tbe site of ancient Lachlsh in Palestine, is that of date. Hebrew scholarship at the university at Jerusalem undoubtedly is adequate to deal with the problem from the standpoint of language and script, as are the experts of Doctor Starkey’s expedition to deal with it as field archeologists. Something must be allowed, perhaps, for enthusiasm engendered by a truly remarkable discovery, and time must be granted for would-be critics of the ancient dates assigned to examine the evidence for themselves and express approval or marshal their contrary arguments. If It be true that the documents found date from 900 to 1000 B. C., the discovery Is difficult to overestimate In its importance to Biblical studies. Like so many happenings of recent archeological years, it gives the Biblical text that has come down to us added statute as a historical document. Most of the previous discoveries which have done this were • Babylonian. It has been a generation since the originals of the Bible stories of the Creation and of the Flood were found on cuneiform tablets, but It is only a few years since the Flood was identified, both at Ur and Kish, as an unquestionable historical event, even though It may not have submerged quite so much of the world as literal Interpreters of the Biblical text sometimes imagine. The story of Creation emerges as a Sumerian account of how Mesopotamia was reclaimed from the sea and the rivers. Most recent of all the confirmations are the discoveries at Ur which reinforce previous knowledge of Sumerian customs and law to show almost perfect verisimilitude in the Bible stories of Abraham. Even the dream of Jacob’s Ladder, Doctor Woolley suggests, may have been a memory of whiterobed Sumerian priests marching up and down the great ladder-like stairs of the Ziggurat at Babylon, original of the Tower of Babel. , Considered quite aside from Its devotional and religious characteristics and purely as a historical document, the Bible has experienced within two generations one complete swing of the pendulum of expert opinion. From slavishly literal acceptance of every word and punctua-

tion mark, opinion of Bible scholars swung far to the opposite extreme of doubting every historical event recorded, even the Exodus or the existence of Abraham. Now the balance is becoming truer. Proof satisfactory to the most rigid logician now is available for many of the Bible episodes. More appears with every thorough bit of excavation that is done. The dream of the first excavators of Bible lands that they would add light and solidity to the stories in the Book they loved gradually is coming true. —New York Herald Tribune. -
