through the broken pane, and dropped
to the floor inside.
Instantly there was a loud clamor
among the imprisoned birds. Let
me outl Let me outr they all
shrieked.
That's just what I'm going to do
as fast as can," declared Peggy.
| Not wasting moment, she began
opening the cages. Out few the cap
tives. making straight for the smashed
window and the liberty beyond.
Then a joyful confusion arose as
parents greeted children, husbands
greeted wives. brothers greeted sis
ters, and friends greeted friends 1t
was as though the prisoners had come
back from the dead.
Peggy worked desperately opening
the cages. There were so many OF
them it seemed she couldn't possibly
get all the birds free before the Giant
returned. If he caught her there, or
any OF the birds, he would be sure to
wreak his vengeance upon them.
From cage to cage she rushed until
she was tired and dizzy. Finally she
! thought the last one had been opened.
and she ran to the window, preparing
to climb out. A snore caused her to
whirl about. There in a, dark corner
was an owl fast asleep. He was so
used to sleeping in the daytime that
the din hadn't aroused him. Peggy
rushed to the cage, pulled the owl out
and gave him sharp shaking. He
opened his eyes, blinked, and went
blupdering around the room until
Peggy steered him to the window and
pushed him through. She was about
to follow when creaky voice dfoned
mournfully:
Aren't you going to let me out?"
Back in cornAr large Blue Heron
was standing patiently in a>cage.
Peggy ran to him and swung back
the door. At that instant there was
loud shrek outside and Mr.. Swal-
low appeared at the window.
ely for your lifew he cried. "The
Giant is comingp ID
Peggy dashed toward the window.
The Heron was there before her. He
spread his broad wings and tried to
fly through the opening. His wings
stuck out on either side and he
couldn't get through. Peggy pushed
desperately from behind. 1t was no
use. .~
Close your wings, you simpletonW
urged Peggy. 7
The Heron gave final Autter. then
obeyed. Peggy boosted and boosted.
and finally, with the strength of de-
spair, sent him tumbling through.
The lock of the door ratified. 1t
was too late to try to escape by the
window. Peggy dropped behind the
table, just as the door swung open
and the Giant strobe in.
(What happened next will be told to-
morrow when the story Of the Giant Of
the Woods will be ended.)

BY Daddy-"The Giant of the Woods"

chapters, and also how the birds. after
making her their Princess. have besought
her to rescue their loved ones from the
dungeons of the Giant of the wooda)
D EGGY darted among the treetops,
1 where she found the birds hiding.
Through the leaves they watched the
Giant turn again to the shared Wood
pecker and THRUST it roughly into one
of his cages. Then he stalked off into
the woods.
"Poor Mr.. Woodpeckeri What will
the Giant do to him" whispered
Lock his up in his dungeons. Per
haps kill him." answered Canary.
"Isn't that awful" Peggy was filled
with horror at the thought. Cant we
save him?"

"And | a father" sobbed Finch.
"And brother and sister" cried a
Blue Bird. Every bird in the forest
seemed to have loved one locked up
within the castle walls.
Peggy thought solemnly for q mo-
ment. Perhaps she could do some
thing before the Giant got back.
"Has he gone far?" she ahked.
"He is visiting his traps along the
river and marsh" reported Mr.. Swal-
low, swooping down from the sky,
whittier he had gone on scout duty.
"He will not be back for some time"
Then I'm going to have look

turning her airplane toward the clear

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: / have
read your advice for some time and hope
you can help me out now. I have met
two very nice young men who are In the

He refuses to allsw any soldier near ths

make him see that nearly all young men

But, now, when all the young men in

Does your mother sympathize with you In

PREVENTIVE WORK

Eight of our states prohibit the sale of cigarettes, six others prohibit the sale to those under 21. Thirty three prohibit their sale to any one under Is years of age. Fourteen states forbid the boy to use the cigarette. This would seem to be a necessary regulation; for there will always be found men so ignorant or indifferent that they will provide boys with them, even though it be unlaw- ful to do so.
 Forty-one business houses of Mas sachusetts have signed an agreement to employ no one under IS who smokes cigarettes. Sixty-nine mer- chants of Detroit have taken the same pledge. Several of the largest Chicago firms have prohibited cigar ette smoking among all employees under IS. Railroad companies and reliable firms everywhere discrimin- ate against the smoking boy. Why is this? The business men are fathers of boys, and they would

Relatively few people understand how
an infection can be carried from one
person to another, and so they go
cheerfully into any danger-or act as
carriers TO others; it may be to their
children or those closest to them. Prac-
lically all disease is now considered TO
be the result Of some infection, which,
in modern parlance. means the growth
in the body of some disease producing
germ or prasite. A few exceptions
are hay fever and chronic ptomaine or
protein poisonings. These disease germs
are so small that most OF them are near
the lower limit Of visibility by the
highest powered microscopes-and
some are far beyond this. This micro
scopic flneness means that they are not,
contrary TO nose belief very easily
caught by the air. They must have
a vehicle of some sort, like dust or
microscopic droplets Of water. In the
modern view, many Of the respiratory,
or inhaled" diseases. like the in
nuenza, are carried by these drOplets.

OF water, as every one knows, has a
strong skin-tension, or tendency to
hang togeiher-the so-called "capil-
larry" attraction. The smaller the drop
the greater the tension, so that a very
small drop will hold minute PARTICLES
like germs. very tenaciously, and keep
them moist and relatively warm. The
germs, we know, grow chiefly on the
warm, moist membranes Of the nose
and throat. They would stay there if
they were not sucked up from their
nests by the droplets Of moisture
which line these passages. But even
these are only mildly eXhaled by ordi-
nary breathing. and are expelled in vast
numbers only by a violent gust like a
cough or sneeze. This is why cough
ing and sneezing are so disastrous to
the human race. large part of the
devastating plaques and epidemics
which have swept off millions in their
