Bedtime Story for Children A7 HEN Billy Mink slipped through the hole under the floor of the shed at the back of the farmers, house,- his one thought was to find a comfortable place for a nap. He found it without any trouble. You know Billy is not fussy and he can curl up and sleep almost anywhere. He had stuffed himself so with that fish he had found just outside of the hole that he felt too lazyto explore. So he picked out the first comfortable ' looking place he came to and there curled up for a nap. When Billy awoke he couldnt first remember where he was. Then fie recalled the fish aiid how he had slipped . in under the shed floor. Now I am here, I may as well find out all about this , place, thought Billy and got to his feet. He yawned and stretched and then began to run around underneath the floor of the shed, using his nose as he always does. In no time at all a familiar scent tickled his nose. exclaimed ' Billy Mink. Ah, ha! So this is where those rats came when they left the big barn! Im not hungry, but I certainly would enjoy a good hunt. I havent hunted anything bigger than a mouse for ever so long. Away Billy raced with his nose to the ground, following the scent of a rat. It didnt take him long to find a nest under the shed floor. But there was no one in that nest. The rat smell was very strong, and Billy knew that rats had been there only a short time before. The fact is, the rats who owned that nest had discovered Billy. Mink and had promptly moved into the house. Billy eagerly followed the trail. It led him to the hole which led in between the walls of the house: Without hesitating a second, Billy popped through, following that - . . .

But almost at once comedians . elsewhere introduce their funny situation. HOUSES WITHOUT CELLARS tpOR economy in construction, it . is becoming the custom to build small houses without cellars. One method is to dig trenches for . the foundation walls and their footings, and to. fill the space between with a concrete slab. For small houses that are light in weight, foundations are not necessary. The slab is some feet larger, than . the' house all around,, with the house walls resting on it. With this construction, i the slab,, should have steel reinforcement. With proper methods either plan is satisfactory, and reduces the cost of the house by about 15 per cent that being the usual relation of the cost of a finished cellar to that of the house. The concrete slab should be waterproof, and should be insulated to prevent the chilling of the finished floor. With foundation walls, the concrete slab should be so firmly bonded to them that cracks cannot develop. One excellent method of bonding is to set reinforcing strips into: the walls at the proper level, so that when the concrete slab is poured, it will be rigidly connected to the walls. The earth should be excavated for eight inches or more, and replaced with 'cinders, tightly packed and leveled. This ; will provide a good degree of insulation. For waterproofing, the cinders should be covered With heavy waterproof felt. Adjoining sheets should be over' lapped by three inches, and the ends and edges should, be carried up the inside of the foundation wall to above the level of the finished floor. The concrete is poured on top. Plenty of time should be allowed for the thorpugh drying of the concrete before thie further finishing : of the floor. i Even with this waterproofing of the floor, it will be unsafe to lay a wood floor in direct contact with it, because of possible rotting. When the concrete has dried out, it should be painted with a thick layer of liquid asphalt. While this is still soft, wood flooring is laid on it, and will become firmly bound to the con . 4c - ..i; Twentieth Century-Fo- x studio with a musical knockout score under his arm, the studio officials Weve got said, something big here.

But Billy knew that where a rat could go : he could go, and so he followed, climbing up between the walls of the house until at last he reached the attic. He could hear the scampering of many feet, and he could hear the squeaks of fright, so he knew that the rats knew he was there. Once in the attic Billy found the rat scent everywhere. It was useless to try to follow with his nose because; the rats had crossed and recrossed each others paths so often that the trail was all mixed up. . j But if Billy couldnt trust to his nose he could trust to his ears..

Or it may require long and sound reason before its insistent and devastating influence can be dispelled. Or it may override reason and will altogether. Ungoverned jealousy is most likely to be indicated by the thumb in which, the first, or nail, . joint bends easily under pressure toward the wrist, and where the nail tip is broad, untapered and heavily fleshed to the point of "being clubbed. The first joint of such a thumb is often shorter than the middle joint, although both may be of even lengths, in which case both sections give the impression of being shorter than normal. Or, again, the middle joint may be abnormally slender, index of too rapid deductions made from faulty facts. The third, or palm, joint will always be found prodigiously pillowed and without symmetry. The man or woman with jealousy thus indicated, you may be sure, will find the paths of his or her affections often blasted by unhappiness, perhaps by tragedy. -' , J . , , JEALOUSY has well been termed monster. It is a a green-eye- d defect which, when temperamental permitted to prey upon the imaginations , of those whose love natures are strongly developed, is sure to cause untold yet needless unhappiness.

He would just make pictures when he felt like it, and spend the rest of his time lying on the beach at Santa Monica or taking leisurely trips to England. But after watching his work in the new Grace Moore picture, Columbia officials didnt like his idea at all. They decided they must have him under contract. No one has ever been known to win an argument with Jack Cohn, the grand mogul of Columbia Pictures, so Cary signed the contract he offered. Back in New York all the young ' stage players and all the dramatic school students go to see Greta Garbo, in Camille over and over. Two girls who are living on a tiny budget that permits eating only now and then and never riding on a street car or bus, had gone every day for six days and seen the picture at least 14 times. They were broke and hungry, but they felt they just had to see it again. So, they screwed up their courage and told the manager of the Capitol theater how much they were learning from watching her, and he arranged to let them in free. r Deanna Durbin, the fourteen-year-ol- d sensation of Eddie Cantors radio program and Universals Three Smart Girls thinks New Yorkers arent very good mathematicians.

But the sign at the foot of the steep, winding stairs said there were 161 steps, and Deanna counted 165. Determinedly she dragged her weary feet up the steps again, only to find that she was right the first time. , V ODDS AND ENDS . . . Clark Gables birthday on the Parnell set was a hilarious occasion.
