Continued from yesterday
Give me two sticks" repeated
Dorothy. II want to fish, too"
II you read yesterdays story, chill
dren, you'll know exactly what
Dorothy meant; but, in case you
didn't read it, I'll tell you, briefly
Dorothy and Mary Elizabeth,
afte- long search, found Davie
and Billy up an alley, engaged in
trying to fish stumps of old lead
pencils from under grating. They
were using long sticks for the pur-
pose, and the ends of the sticks
were smeared with wagon-grease.
Did l hear you ask where they
got the wagon-grease?
Why, from passing wagons, to be
sure.
When they heard a wagon APP
preaching, one or the other, or both,
would rush cut of the alley to the
street and hurriedly poke the sticks
in the revolving axles. The idea,
you see, was to make the pencils
stick to the wagon grease, and thus
be drawn up to the chubby, dirty
hands that waited to clutch them.
Quite an idea, wasn't 1t?
Dorothy and Mary Elizabeth dis

almost bring a pencil to the surface.
and then 1t would slide. Before long
Dorothy felt convinced that she
would have more skill and better
luck than her impat ient brother,
and now she and Mary Elizabeth
took possession of the sticks, while
the boys stood back and scowled.
Look here, Dorothy, when |
asked you to come along l didn't
mean for you to take my sticks
and everything, said Davie,
gloomily.
You're pigs; that's what you
are" chimed in Davie, "fishin' for
pencils is a boys game, not
girls game. And you'd better give
us our sticks, so there. Pigs! TAX
in up all the ROOM"

Rules for Scoutmaster

Ten rules for scoutmasters have
been laid down by the greater coun-
Gil of Boston. They are:
1. Every meeting or hike should
have a program with well-defined
though generally unannounced pur-
pose.
2. Do not allow meetings to drag
they should be opened and closed on
time.
3. Demand punctual obedience to
orders. Scouts should salute and re-
spond with sir" when addressing
or being addressed by scoutmaster.
A. Use your patrol leaders-make
the Office real.
s. Have your scouts meet the re-
quirements SO that they will realize
their worth and make practical use
of them.
g. Teach your scouts to help them
selves-as well as others.
7. Put premium on progress.
s. Secure and retain the co-opera-
ton of parents.
9. Always keep your promise to
boys.
10. Keep the central office in touch
with what you are doing.

And Thus
Avoid Disease

1.-THE way to avoid disease is moi
only by attempting to kill the germs
but by making and keeping the body
SO strong and well that it will resist
all attempts of the bacteria TO gain
a favorable place of growth. The real
lesson of this applies TO babyhood, be-
cause then may be laid the founda-
ton Of strong bodily health and dis
ease-resisting qualities. Fresh air IN
abundance, nourishing food to in
crease the bodily strength, and the
attention to the functions OF the
body to help elimination of waists
products are the three best methods
we have Of restoring health. no mat
ter what the disease. So they are.
also. the best method we have OF
preventing disease. for like fhree
watchful sentinels they stand guard
against and repel the invasion of
harmful, disease-inciting bacteria
The point to be remembered is that
bodily resistance to disease cannot
be gained rapidly. and the lack Of
il is often realized too late The child
who starts life handicapped with low
vitality is out-distanced in the race
of life almost before it has started.

The short coat is favored in Paris
by the leading gown and suit
makers and promises to be a fea-
ture of the spring styles. Many of
them are belted, others are on the
bolero order. The bolero is charm
ingiy suited to the new skirts with
their RULED and draped hips and
is far too becoming a mode not to
catch on" If the hip trimmed
skirts continue popular, and every
indication is that they will, the
vogue of the short coat is assured.
The modish suit sleeve is three
quarter or full length, although we
glimpse here and there short
sleeved model that is decidedly
smart.
Number $40 is an unusual little
coat in embossed velvet. 1t has
three-quarter kimono sleeve, a
rolled collar and smartly cut revers
which may be rolled back as illus
trated, or closed and buttoned on
the side front.
The skirt (S14S) is a peg-top,
draped in pannier effect in front.

A Man. Calling Cards

Dear Margery Doom:
What is the proper form to have
on a mans calling cards2 Should it
be "Mr. So and So or Just the full
name without Mr.? p Can you refer
me to any good book dealing with
the subject? Z. P. B.
A mans card is smaller than a
woman's and is oblong rather than
square. The name is in full, with
the prefix Mr." and the home or
club address is in the lower right
hand corner. A married mans card
seldom has the address, as his card
is to be left by his wife with her own
card, which bears the address.
A man named for his father onits
the "jr." after his fathers death,
although there are instances where
the "jr." is retained.
Mrs. Frank Learned's 1.-The Eth
quette of New York Today" is a
comprehensive treatise. It is pub
lished by the Frederick A. Stokes
Company.

of having twenty pieces of cake given

fused to touch a morsal till a TWEEN

The shops always show such be-
wildering array Of lovely things one
scarcely knows where to begin, but
one thing seems very certain and l
think almost every woman will be
glad to know that practically all the
wash fabrics will be rough or
rubbed" and crepe comes first in the
line of popularity, with ratine and
wolfe as very close seconds.
These rough finished material are a
real JOY in more ways than one: They
are quite loosely woven, which makes
them exceptionally easy to wash, and
many of them require no ironing at
all. Then aside from the easy laun-
dering they will not muss nor crush
as the smooth linens and lawns will
do.
The colors have not changed very
much since last season, and the lovely
shades which may be had in wash
fabrics rival those of the most expen-
sive silks. There will be plain, solid
colors for those who want them; and
exquisite lowered and figured designs

Boy Scouts

The scouting boys were marching
fast,
As long PASSAGES shores they passed.
Upon his khaki coat each wore
a button which this motto bore
BE prepared"
The face of every freckled boy
Was full of love and bright with joy;
Their doughty leader barred his head
And turning to his scouts he said
BE prepared"
Prepared to fight life's ceaseless strife,
Prepared to choose and win a wife,
Prepared to right the peoples wrong
And cheer them with triumphant
song
BE prepared
Who is this man of stately mien,
Whose curly locks with silver sheen
Wave crisply Ger his noble brow,
The while he tells his minions how
To be prepared?
He marshals them with lordly grace,
As one accustomed to the mace
OF regal power. In accents soft
He counsels them not once, but oft,
To be prepared.

them. This game was about the
most exciting they had ever played.

Dear used to take them grabbing

Just as they reached the surface of
the water, and the pencils we're

course, this wasn't water, but Just

Her cheeks grew roster and roster
as she struggled.
It's dreadfully hard, isn't it." she
SAID, a little impatiently, as o
pencil dropped back for the fifth
time.
Mary Elizabeth did not answer.
She was too busy. Her hat was
hanging down her back by its elias
tic and her dark curls were mussed.
And on one cheek was a long black
streak of wagon grease that stuck
when she put up a soiled hand to
brush back her straying locks.
L think maybe I need more
wagon grease, finally decided
Dorothy, who did not look so very
pretty just now herself. For her
locks, too, were all askew. and
wagon grease was smeared plenti-
fully over the front of her dress.
CAUSED by kneellng on one of the
smeared sticks. which was not her
fault. She didn't know the stick
was there even until it's sharp edge
hurt her knee.

sticks to her brother.
Davie scowled.
Go get your own wagon grease
he growled. You took all of our
fun away from us. and we won't
get any wagon grease unless you
give us our sticks and let us play. -
And you can go on home"
cut in the indignant Billy, "'cause
were sorry we called you, and didn't
know you'd grab things" And hay-
ing thus expressed his opinion he
spread his little fat legs and looked
as defiant as very dirty face would
permit.
Dorothy and Mary Elizabeth ex-
changed glances and grinned.
"They don't seem to want us, do
they?' giggled Mary Elizabeth,
making a face over her shoulder
at her brother Billy, who prompt
ly returned it.
"Poohi What do we care?s said
Dorothy. I'D stay here a week IL
l wanted to. only 1t isn't fun when
your wagon grease Is all gone.
Lets go get some for ourselves
And she rose to her feet and ran
out of the alley to the street with
Mary Elizabeth at her heels. They
ran to passing milk wagon and
poked their sticks at the wheels.
Dorothy lunged forward too quickly,
missed the hub and thrust her stick
between the spokes, falling on her
face and barely escaping having her
head go under the hind wheel Mary
Elizabeth screamed in terror and
Davie and Billy came running, very
much frightened.
But Dorothy, to whom her Uncle
Dick had talked much about the
virtue of being game under all
conditions. rose to her feet, wiped
the blood from her skinned fore
head and nose, and said to Davie:
"It serves me right for taking
your fun away from you. You were
right. I was a pig"
And SO was l." said Mary Eliz-
