SHADOW THE WEASEL ENJOYS HIMSELF Tweiity-four school children killed and 15 injured! That was the toll taken not so long ago by failure of the driver of a school bus to comply with safety requirements and assure himself that the way was clear before attempting to cross a railroad grade crossing. The accident is illustrated here. The windshield and front side windows of the bus were equipped with frost shields or clear-vision windows. The crossing was in open country, with nothing to obstruct the driver's view of the approaching train. He came to a stop about 25 feet from the track, then started over the crossing when the train was in plain view--only two or three hundred feet away. The National Safety Council is conducting a special campaign to stop these accidents which every day delay 38 trains a total of 22 hours--a damaging blow to the nation's war transportation effort. Detroit Wipes Oat Deficit v f^ith the help of careful budget pfenning, Detroit has wiped out a 25- year deficit which reached its peajc in/1933 when the city was $21,600,000 "in the red," the municipal finance officers association said. By June 30 the city will have a surplus of between $1,000,000 $3,500,000, according to estimates of Detroit fiscal officials. Relief expenditures, bank closings and failure to collect taxes in 1933 stretched the deficit to its $21,600,000 peak by the close of jthe first depression year. Careful budget operations, revenues from delinquent tax sales, liquidation of closed banks, decreases in welfare costs and some general revenue increases wiped out the deficit and promise the surplus. -- I start to do a thing I alwajrs «M It through; I And it really is the best and only way to do 'T* HAT'S a little rule that Shadow the Weasel made for himself a long time ago and which he tries to live up to. Of course sometimes things happen to prevent but usually he does whatever he sets out to do. It really is a very good rule if you add to it this : 1 never try to do a thing, I shouldn't if I could. And always try to make that thing a thing that's really good. But Shadow never has added that, last part. In truth Shadow would just laugh at that if he should hear it. The fact is. Shadow the Weasel has a bad heart. Yes, sir, Shadow has a bad heart, a black, black, heart. It is such a black heart that sometimes it seems as if there was no good in it. None of his neighbors DOUBLE TALK The chief of police of a small town was also an expert veterinary surgeon. One night the telephone bell rang. The chief constable's wife answered. "Is that Mr. Jenkins?" asked an agitated voice. "Do you want my husband in his capacity as veterinary or as police chief?" f "Both, madam," came the reply.

They all hate him, even his own cousins, Billy Mink and Jimmy Skunk. And Shadow doesn't seem to care. It seems sometimes as if he actually enjoyed being hated. Certainly he enjoys seeing other little people afraid of him, as most of them are. This particular morning Shadow had been feeling very much out of sorts. Yes, sir, Shadow had been feeling very much out of sorts. You see he had hunted most of the night without finding anything to eat, and so he was hungry, very hungry, indeed. He had been out on the Green Meadow hunting for Danny Meadow ttfouse when he heard Chatterer the Red Squirrel scolding over in the Green Forest. Shadow lifted his head to listen. Then a cruel hungry look crept into his eyes and he Showed his sharp little teeth in a Cruel, hungry smile as he said: "That sounds to me like last night's dinner and this morning's breakfast both in one. I think Chatterer yvill make a better meal than even Dantiy Meadow Mouse." With that he licked his lips and started in the 'direction of Chatterer's voice, and |he actually had started up the tree Chatterer was in before Chatterer saw him. It was then that Chatterer had started on his mad flight of fear through the treetops. ; Now while Chatterer raced and jumped through the tree tops as fast as ever he could, and so tired himself out, Shadow the Weasel took his time in following. He ran swiftly, but not swiftly enough to tire himself. He didn't try to keep Chatterer in sight. You see, he trusted to his nose to tell him where Chatterer had gone, and his nose never, deceived him. It told him just what branches Chatterer had run along and just where he had jumped to the next tree. Now, Shadow is himself a nimble climber, and he had no trouble in going wherever Chatterer had gone until he reached the place .where Chatterer had made the long jump and fallen. Shadow just glanced at it and turned around. He had no mind to risk any such fall as that. He knew that all he had to do was to run down the tree and up the next. When he reached the ground he started at a gallop across to the next tree, but from habit his nose was busy on the ground as he ran. Suddenly he stopped. "Ha!" said he. ;"Seems to me I smell Chatterer down here! What does that mean?" His nose led him straight to the: tree and up. Shadow grinned. He knew perfectly what had happened, "Chatterer missed that jump and had a bad fall. I guess it must have shaken him up a little and he won't be able to run so fast," thought he. Then he started on as lively as ever. He was enjoying himself. He didn't mind that run through the tree tops because he didn't have to hurry any faster than he pleased and because he was sure of a good dinner pt. the e n d . . . . ' . ' : .

BEAD IT TWICE Here's a Whopper Out in California the natives tell tall tales «bout their giant Redwood trees. "Big trees? Why, out our way they felled a hollow tree over a ra«. vine that was toe deep and wide to build a bridge across. One day when I was driving through this tree with a trailer, I met a big moving van coming through from the other end. I couldn't back up or go ahead, so I just edged the trailer into a hollow branch and let the other fellow go past." Prof.--Can you give me an example of a paradox? Smart--Sure.
