fields and disease are not the most
dangerous enemies OF an increase in
population. He says the increase over
normal in the number OF deaths In
in Germany alone since the beginning
OF the war up to the close OF 1916 was
1,l57, 900, among which losses on the
battlefield or from wounds are said to
be included. Enormous as these
figures may seem, they are smaller
than those given for the decrease In
births. This decrease was 1,l77,000.
Actually, OF course, the losses,
through the diminished number of
births were much greater, as the de-
crease did not make itself felt until
nine months after the outbreak of
hostilities. Leuthner cites official fig
ures as follows: Decrease In the num-
Der OF births during the first year Of
the war, 30 per cent; in the second,
45, and in the first six months OF the
third, more than so. AS no figures are

ANIMALS HAVE NO INSTINCT
Acquire Their knowledge Of What ls
Good to Eat and What ls Harm
full by Experience.

animals seem to acquire their
knowledge of poisonous plants from
experience, and not by any innate In
stinct; our domestic animals, when
transported to other countries, at first
eat poisonous plants. which they learn
afterwards to avoid. Smell observed
that strange sheep frequently fell vic
tins to the poisonous hellebore that
grows abundantly in the valley of the
Aim, but that 1t is carefully avoided
by the sheep Of the nelghborhood,
writes Raymond Crawford In the Lon
don Lancet.
lambs and calves, grazing in the
same field as their mothers, are far
more prone than they to eat poisonous
plants. Morgan concluded from OBJ
servatlons of feeding young birds with
various caterplllars, beetles and worms,
that, in the absence of parental guild
ance, young birds have to learn by ex.
perlence what is good to eat and what
is not, and that they have no In
stlnctlye diversions. At first they
peck ut everything, but once they have
found that a particular thing is dis.
tasteful or harmful, in future they en-
tirely avoid It,"

TONY BOzzI RETURNS
BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS.

L
1t was through mutual friends that
Charlotte Conway secured temporary
possession of the tiny cottage on Long
Island.
Tony Bozzl, who had built it and
lived alone In it among his chickens
and flowers, had sailed off on the first
transport ship that had left the harbor
when Italy entered the war.
Tony owned not only his tiny home
and slightly productive garden and
chickens, but he also owned an auto
mobile, which he ran as taxi from
the station to nearby estates. He
met allmtrains and had made himself
more or less Of necessity to subur-
banites. He left the caretaking of his
cottage to the man who had taken his
taxi service from him.
Charlotte Conway had never seen
Tony nor had she heard of him until
she learned that his tiny cottage was
available. AS a dressmakers assist
ant, she had saved sufficient money to
live on while she established herself
as u village seamstress, but 1t must
needs be q very tiny cottage and n
minimum of expense that she could
undertake.
When she saw the cottage Charlotte
felt that she was looking at the place
called Paradise.
"Even chickens she exclaimed as
she observed the fine Orpington cock
strutting about with his eight hens.
Charlotte arranged to take the cot
tage and returned to town to pack her
meager belongings. Her sewing ma
chine and a placard announcing her
self as Il seamstress were among the
most important of her possessions
She anticipated great contentment
sewing for village women and tending
the tiny garden and the chickens be-
tween stitches.
Dressmaking progressed slowly, but
Charlotte was not sorry, because she
begrudgedV every moment that she
spent within doors. AS reward for
her excellent care her hens produced
more eggs than she could use. She
got six and seven a day and once
though her nelghbor said 1t was most
unusualGshe had eight eggs from
eight hens. But she averaged five a
day through the month. She>was de-
lighted to realize that this number
would enable her to sell two dozen Il
week and thus make her hens self-sup-
porting.
Her nelghbor told her of a family IN
the village that would pay her 80 cents
dozen, but it was not until she ac-
tually fingered the 81 bill as payment
that she could believe it was true.
Never had she earned money so easily.
A few days later she went to her
neighbor with a furrow between her
eyes.

MINDS OF DIFFERENT SIZES
Some No Bigger Than chiegsr's lnstep
Then There's Master Mind En-
countered in Moving Pictures.

Minds are small but powerful lit
tie devices which, since their dlscov-
cry, have been confined to cells-brain
cells. In view of this fact 1t is diff
cult to understand how the expression
"an open mind" sprang into being,
Minds are useless cOntrivanees, for the
greater part, and are never In perfect
working order, but most people who
are never satisfied to let well enough
alone are constantly trying to improve
upon theirs. Strange to say, the fell
low who Is working the hardest to i'm
prove his mind generally has one that
needs less working on than 90 per cent
of the ones he sees about him.
Minds are of various dimensions,
ranging In size from those no bigger
than a chiggcr's instep on up to the
master mind, which is encountered
only In story fiction and the moving
pictures. Through wise provision of
Nature, who makes the distribution, q
guaranty of satisfaction goes with
each mind, leaving no man to banker
after the other feller's, but being con-
tented to scrub along with the one he
has.
Mind is the opposite of matter, but
that doesn't matter to the fellow who
has something the matter with his
mind, as he doesn't mind such mat
ter. Minds are sometimes very useful
for thinking purposes and should be
encouraged in this respect.-Indlanap'

Charlotte blushed softly and sighed
in relief. Her neighbor was kind
enough to offer to help her set the
broody one properly.
This was only the beginning of the
! Matching season. Soon Charlotte was
kept more than busy with her hens and
their perpetually arriving chicks. To
gether with this work came orders fd
dressmalling that completely filled
Charlottes days. And then the in.
evitable happened.
Tony wrote. to say that he was re-
turning. He had lost q foot some
where on the field of battle and had
been in the hospital for weeks. As
soon as his cork foot was safely a
part of him he would be able to travel.
"Well," Charlotte thought after read.

little bit IN establishing business for

Tonys soft Italian eyes, shaded with
recent suffering lit up when he saw
his cottage and heard the cackle OF
happy hens.
Charlotte realized n great sense OF
inward delight when she saw his sur
prise. When she shook his hand she
felt that she was greeting a hero and
her eyes were wonderfully expressive
Tony was awed by the joy that his re-
turn afforded him.
But no-no!" He raised a protest
ing hand when Charlotte acquainted
him with facts and plans for himself
81 cannot take it, 1t is you who have

And In the midst of his dreams,
while Charlotte stood wondering again
just why Fate had given her so pleas
ant a part to play, the neighbor over
the fence called out:
"Say, you two-my wife wants you
both over. She's prepared the finest
dish of spaghetti outside of Italy, and
we've opened a bottle of red ink to
celebrate the homecoming of our hero. y
He did not wait for an answer, nor did
he have to.
Tony and Charlotte glanced swiftly
at each other and slow smiles dawned
in the heart of each of them.

was somewhere very near.
