Kina's Jubilee Draws Crowds to If indsor Castle CELEBRATION of King George’s silver Jubilee attracts thousands to Windsor castle, most historic of the royal residences. A striking new aerial photograph of the castle and town Is given herewith. Bedtime storV, SByJHORNTON W. BURGESS6 DANNY SHAKES MORE THAN EVER Danny meadow mouse was trapped. He was trapped, but cot caught, which sounds ruther mixed and Isn’t at all. You see he was trapped because Billy Mink was waiting for him Just outside the only doorway to that hollow log In which he was hiding. But he wasn't caught, because that door way was too mnall for Billy Mink “You’ll Have to Come Out Some Time and I’m Going to Stay Right Here and Walt for You,’’ Do dared Billy Mink. to get through and Billy couldn’t reach him despite all his efforts. ‘•you’ll hnve to come out pome time and I’m going to stay right here and wait for you." declared Billy Mink. "You may Just ns well come out now us to keep me wait ing, because you are going to be caught anyway and I am going to catch you." Danny didn't say a word. He held his tongue, which was the wisest thing he could do. It usually Is wise to hold one’s tongue. But I sus pect that It was fear more than wisdom which caused Danny to hold his tongue. You see, poor Danny was shnklng all over with fear. He knew that for the time being he was safe, but he also felt sure I PAPA KIMOWV-I f“‘-^ “Pop, what It gumption?” “An oldster’s staff.” e. Bell Syndicate.—W.NU Service. Mint if Killy Mink kept tils word and watched Just outside that door way he would either starve to death Inside that hollow log or furnish Billy Mink s good meal. Danny couldn't decide which end would he the worst and the more he thought It over the more he shiv ered and shook. Hither end was dreadful. The fact Is Danny Meadow Mouse was so badly fright ened that he wasn’t using his usu ally lively wits at all. It never once entered his head that If Billy Mink waited long enough for him to starve, Billy would himself he like ly to starve, and that Is something Billy would be the very last person In the Great World to do. Billy Is altogether too active to he patient. But Danny was too frightened to think of this and so he crouched shivering and shaking, as miserable a little Meadow Mouse as ever lived. "I ought to have remembered Billy Mink's wonderful nose and that If he once found my trail he would follow me straight here.” thought Danny. "I ought to have waded in the water after crossing the Laughing Brook, and so broken my trail. I ought to have found a hiding place with more than one entrance. I ought—hut what's the use of thinking the things I ought to have done and didn’t do? There isn’t any. I horn lan f nnv at all.” That was quite true. When It la too late there seldom la any uae In thinking of what should or should not have been done. Hut because there seemed to him nothing else to think about, Danny Meadow Mouse continued to think about his mistakes and to shake with fear. And outside Hilly Mink grinned and licked hi* lips and tried to think of some way to make Danny Meadow Mouse come out 'of that hollow log. ©. T. W. Burnell.-WNU Service Minute make-ups .j, By V. V.

One of the daily tasks In most homes of the dinner hour Is the making of gravies. The French word roux covers the base or thick ening of gravies. There Is white roux and brown which Is simply white Hour browned. For the white roux melt one half cup of shortening In a heavy frying pan, add three-fourths of a cup of flour and cook slowly, stirring con stantly until it Is thoroughly blend ed ami well cooked. Remove from Hie tire and store in a cool place until ueeded. For thickening soups, white sauce, creamed chicken or vegetables, use one to two table spoons of (he roux to each cup of liquid, according to the thickness desired. To make brown roux, use the same proportions of fat and flour, but stir and cook until thick, smooth and brown, using care not to scorch. Tills, too, may he stored and used The City Gardener as thickening for meat gravies, mushroom sauce, stews and highly seasoned dishes.

LOVE’S LAMPS By ANNE CAMPBELL MY LOVE that burned with Just a single flame, A chaste white taper lit for you alone, In twenty years has spread itself to claim A dozen conflagrations for Its own. It warms Itself upon our children’s lips, And sends up signal fires our friends may see. They come to us with glowing fin ger-tips. Warmed ’neath the roof that shelters you and me. Sometimes I think of those dear selfish days When you were all my world, my own blue sky; But now our children bless me with your gaze; A dozen lovely lamps are flaring high. But like the constant star above the hill, My love for you Is burning bright ly still.

Puzzle for Solomon The senate votes, 55 to 33, to pay the veterans their bonus in cash. Arthur llrlabanr i nar vote, not being a two thirds vote, would not over rule the Presi de n t i a 1 veto, which Is ex pected. The Patman bill, wisely ap proved, gives the veterans their money to spend in their way for things they want. Under that bill veterans are to be paid with new money, inai money as soon as received would all vanish. In pur chases In every corner of the United States. New United States money Is ex actly as good as new bonds, since paper dollars and paper bonds get all their value from the name of the government printed on them. There are no longer any gold pay ments promised or Implied. If gov ernment money is not good, gov ernment bonds are not good. President Roosevelt, congratulat ing King George, says: “It Is grat lfylng to contemplate the wise and steadfast Influence which your maj esty has exerted for a quarter of a century." That was about all that the President, with the best of In tentions, could say, for the British ruler’s popularity is based on stick ing to his Job, which is, letting his people alone, while they attend to their business in their own way. The king seems to think that those who have built the greatness of the British empire to Its present height may be trusted to continue building it. Some “best minds” here feel that any success or progress in the United States has been more or less of an accident, under bnd manage ment, and needs to start again on a new plan. Time will tell whether a govern ment policy of “let them alone" or “tell them how” is better. Five killed, eight injured, In an airplane crash.

An occasional disaster will not discourage flying, but this particular nccident raises again the question, should not airplane builders con centrate on parachute protection for passengers? King Solomon never solved any such problem as this: A New York manufacturer wished to advertise “invisible panties," in usual words— small trousers worn by modern women. NRA rules say that if the article advertised Is not invisible, the advertising is “false and mis leading and violates the code.” If those panties are invisible, NRA cannot pass on them, and their manufacturer must not attempt to display them on models, for evident reasons dealing with morality. Eight million young women In Germany sre unmarried. The gov ernment invites 333,000 of them to marry “healthy, virile, hereditary farmers." To lead the unmarried German girl to the “virile, hereditary farm er" may be easier than making tier marry him. A labdr law coui(>els women under twenty-live years of age to serve one year on farms before they can take other jobs.

Hope Pius, addressing 130 Ger man pilgrims, spoke plainly about Germany’s present Hitler govern ment : "They wish in the name of so called positive Christianity to de chrlstlanlze Germany, and they wish to conduct the country back to bar baric paganism, and nothing Is left undone to disturb Christian and Catholic life."
