In Thornton W. Burgess style, beech trees shed brown three sided nuts after Jack Frost opens prickly husks. Sharps eyes and swift wings head to the Green Forest for the annual beech nut picnic as Chatterer the Red Squirrel leads critters toward winter’s edge.
A 1934 Burgess piece from WNU Service depicts a lively neighborhood lull before nap time as children play and mothers relax. Animal characters such as Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, Sammy Jay, Red Head, Chatterer the Woodpecker, Lightfoot the Deer, Mrs. Possum, Whitefoot the Wood Mouse, Peter Rabbit, and Buster Bear visit a woodland picnic, exchanging antics and noise before settling for beech nuts and sleep ahead of winter.
The piece explains cooking eggs at low temperatures to preserve protein texture, with guidance for hard and soft shells, poached methods, and oven cooking. It includes a ragout of eggs recipe using mushrooms, butter, milk, flour, and seasonings, and suggests serving with parsley.
A fragment notes Boners as humorous tidbits found in examination papers and essays by teachers. It cites a line about instinct and marriage and habit and hats by a man coming home, then mentions Caesar receiving no particular re.
In Washington observers discuss Roosevelt's promised large budget cuts and the actual six month outlays. Comparisons show no 25 percent reduction in ordinary expenditures from July to December 1932 vs the previous year. The treasury now separates relief spending as capital expenditures, complicating total accounting.
The President announced a ten billion dollar congress budget with emergency and ordinary running costs for the year starting July 1. The plan itemizes departmental, legislative, and independent establishment funds, including veterans administration appropriations. Critics mock the spending and question how six and one third billion will be spent in five months, noting past cuts and planned junkets to Florida for field inspections.
Fragmented lines reference silk worm secrecy in China for millennia, Huang Ti era roots, Pompey alliance, and triad politics. Also note mentions of a writer, a rhombus definition, an emperor Fo Manchu, tenant farming, a mask as literature, linen warmth, and a 1933 syndicate stamp.
The Orient's grand construction, the great Chinese wall, stretched 500 leagues high 45 feet thick 18 in breadth yet failed as a defense. Tartars breached it by moving eastward to about 40 degrees latitude where China stood undefended and easily penetrated.
