Peter Decides to Hold His
Tongue.
When you're uncertain what you know
Hold still your tongue and keep it so.

Peter Rabbit says that he can give
no better advice than that Peter
ought to know, for his tongue has led
him into all sorts OF trouble. He says
IT is all right to talk when you are alb
sofute1y sure of what you are talking
about. but that il there is the least
doubt in your own mind it is far wiser
to let others do the talking
When Peter finally left Johnny
Chuck's house ne was SO upset he didn't
know what to do. You remember he
had found Johnny Chuck curled up in
his bed down in his bedroom and that
nothing Peter could do brought the
least sign of life from Johnny. So
Peter was terribly upset. 1t seemed to
him that his old friend Johnny Chuck
must certainly be dead. TO Peter he
had every appearance Of being dead.
If he was dead Peter wanted TO spread
the news. You know there Is nothing
Peter SO delights in as being the bear
er of news, be 1t good or bad. Aren't
some psople funny that way?
Then, again, IL Johnny was dead
Peter would feel dreadfu1ly. for he and
Johnny were such long time friends.
But he didn't want to feel dreadfully
over nothing. No, indeed. He didn't
want anything like that. And il il
should happen that Johnny wasn't dead
and he. p~t"r. had spread the news
that he I. he never, never would

ANTI SUfFRAcIST WOMEN
LEAVE NATIONAL COUNCIL
Name Of Association Wrongly Used
to Aid ''Feministic" Measure, Mrs.
Wadsworth Explains.

Mrs. James Wadsworth. jr., president
OF the Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage. has withdrawn that organi-
zatien from membership In the National
Council Of Women. The reason given
is the alleged unauthorized Use by the
National Council Of the name of the
association and of its president in a
recent EFFORT to further eonsressionai
Of Montana. which Mrs. wadsworth
characterizes as "fen1inIstfc" and likely
to create sex antagonism."
In withdrawing her association Mrs.
Mrs. Philip North Moore of st. Louis,

such feministic theories as that the

the wife should select her citizenship
independent OF that of her husba md,
and that the citizenship Of the child
should be determined by that Of the
mother.
AT the hearing on this resolution. the
name OF the National Association Opposed
to Woman Suffrage was presented by the
National Council of Women as one Of
the organiza lions apparently favoring this
bill This use of our name was unau-
thorized. It has been called to our at
tention that the name of our organiza-
ton was used In this connection either to
disguise the feministic features of the
bill. or to put us in the inconsistent po-
sition Of apparently approving radical
feminist legislation. In either case 1t is
now impossible for us to continue mem

decided to mold his tongue for a while.
Once back in the dear Old Brier

about Johnny Chuck. But the things

Peter took two or three quick hops,

stopped altogether. Doubt once more
