The Idea of doing Danny a good turn never In all her life had en tered her head. Nor bad the Idea that she could do such a thing ever entered Danny’s funny little head. Yet Mrs. Iloot.v did do Danny a good turn. In fact, all unknowing ly she proved to he a friend. You remember that Hilly Mink had trapped Danny In a hollow log In the (Jreen Forest. Hilly couldn’t get Into Hint hollow log because the doorway was too small. Ho he promptly told Danny that he would keep watch until Danny starved to death Inside or came out to he cnuglit. Then Hooty the Owl and Mrs. Hooty arrived In a trie close by and Danny overheard Mrs. Ilooty tell Hooty that she laid seen and heard some one moving down below and that she Intended to stay right there until she found out who It was. Danny at once thought that she was watching for him. Hut when he had had time to think u little he remembered that he hadn’t so much as poked his nose outside that hollow log since the coming of Mrs. Hooty, so of course she couldn’t have seen him. Could It have been Hilly Mink she had seen? Danny at once became very much Inter ested and crept a little nearer the doorway, lie wanted very much to see what was going on outside. For some time nothing happened. Then he heard Hooty’s voice way off In the distance. He crept Just a wee hit closer to the doorway and l>eeped tip In the top of the tree where he had heard Mr. and Mrs. Hooty talking, lie was Just In time to see a great dark shadow sweep silently down. He heard a spiteful snarl and knew then that Mrs. Hooty had tried to catch Hilly Mink and had missed him. And he knew, too, that, having escaped. Hilly would waste no time hanging about there, hut would seek a safer place. Danny let a little sigh of relief escape. Mrs. Hooty had frightened Hilly Mink away and did not her self know that Danny was there. He was no longer trapped. She who would gladly have eaten him had proved a friend by setting him free. Didn’t I say that this Is a funny world? (P) T W. Hurjft'ns — WNU Service. THE UNKNOWN By ANNE CAMPBELL I DO not know which way the * road may lead Tomorrow.

THE WOMAN OF FORTY CAN MARRY IF SHE WANTS TO WE HAVE news from England that spinsters of forty are holding their own. And by holding their own we mean not having a good enough time, thank you, but in getting husbands if they want them! The news comes in the form of statistics that one out of every 34 English brides today is forty years old or more. And that does not Include widows or divorcees. The actual number of brides over forty recorded was 9,179, “thus giv ing further evidence,” it is comment ed, “that the woman of forty is still n very vital and engaging personal ity and can easily hold her own when she chooses to enter the mat rimonial market.’’ That comment, let it be remarked, is definitely a matter of superero gation. We knew it all along. That Is, every thinking person knew it. Our Information from England is concluded with the statement that the most populnr age for brides is still twenty-two. We might have surmised that too. There is no denying the attractiveness, the de lightfulness of the downy cheek and pearl-like contours of twenty-two. But there Is no denying either, the vnlue, In marriage, of the developed sense of humor, the perspective, the consideration and understanding, that are the result of more years of life. We are not holding forth that forty is the ideal age for a woman to marry. But we do affirm with out hesitation that the woman of forty can usually “hold her own” as the report says, “if she chooses to enter the matrimonial market’’_ and there is no reason why she shouldn’t. ®.

I BRISBANE THIS WEEK Jane Addams What Is Reality? Ludendorff Said No A Woodpecker Sermon Miss Jane Addams “of Hull House" is dead. She set an admira Arthur llrUliiinr ole example be fore men and women. She de voted her life and her fortune, all of her time, effort and mon ey, to the wel fare of unfor tunate women and children. She was one of those that make it dlfllcult not to believe in heaven. If there were no future re wards for such goodness the entire universe, with its relativities, quan tunis, electrons and light-years, would be one ghastly joke. Learned Professor liinstoin, with the also learned Professors B. Podolsky and N. Rosen, all of Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, makes a deep announcement that will Interest those that can un derstand It. This Is it, condensed: “A scientific theory can he devised which will completely describe real ity.” It seems the present scientific the ory, supposed to give a description of physical reality by the "quantum mechanical" method, does not work out satisfactorily, and you are sorry you learned It. It is pleasant to see scientists on the shore of the oceun of knowledge, playing with one or two little peb bles. Science is far from any “scientific theory that will com pletely describe reality,” for science cannot tell what "reality” is. Chancellor Hitler of Germany conferred upon the fighting German General I.udendorff the title "field marshal general," highest rank In Germany’s army. General Luden dorff, greatest, after Von Hinden burg, in the big war, declined with thanks, announced his retirement to a small hunting lodge in the Ba varian mountains. It is suggested that Germany's most distinguished living general did not feel that his glory could be increased by Chan cellor Hitler, who was a corporal in the army of Austria. “Sermons in stones, and good in everything." There must be a sermon in the Chicago woodpecker that every morning woke his neighborhood by drumming on a copper drainpipe. The copper resisted, but the wood pecker drummed on until a boy with a slingshot stopped him forever What is the sermon? Does it deal with modern efforts to ignore the nature of man, stand old “Supply and Demand” on ids head, and prove that super-intelli gence can make the world over in ten minutes? Professor Kemmerer, financial ex pert, of Princeton, worrying about Inflation, “too much money in cir culation," says the government Is spending money twice as fast as It comes in. This, lie says, is done by “pumping the banks full of ar tificial credit.” Having done that, the government borrows its own money from the hanks and pays them interest, which seems mildly amusing. President Roosevelt may be right about professors.
