''Oh, but we're not really going
10 let him have the cornH quacked
Jimmie. the duck.
What are you going to dor
asked Uncle Wiggily.
''Oh, there's going to be a string
tied to the basket of corn" said
Jackie Bow Wow And when we
ring Grandpa Goosey's bell. and lie
comes to the door to pick UP the
corn, wen pull it away and April
Fool him"
Hum! Oh. yes, sect" said
Uncle Wiggiiy, thoughtful like.
We'll. l know better joke than
that"
DO youi oh. show us how to
do itr' cried Billie Bushytail.
Il will. Come on said Uncle
wiggily. "we'll play this trick
on the poor old mouse lady VINO
lives all alone down by the brook"
''Oh. that'll be more fun than play
ing 1t on Grandpa Goosey," said Sam
mie. Won't the old mouse lady be
s'prised when we yank the basket
away"
UNI, Maybe she will" spoke Uncle
Wiggily. sort of uncertain like "We'H
put some cheese and crackers and a
bit of apple pie and some bread and
butter and things like that in the
basket for the poor mouse lady"
"Oh. won't she be surprised" :"
quacked Jimmie.
So Uncle wiggily filed a basket full
of good things, and he and the animal
boys went very, very softly and put II
on the doorsteps of the poor old mouse
lady after dark, when she couldn't see
them.
Now I'll ring the bell" said Billie
waGtail. the goat. "and you pull the
string and Jerk the basket away when
she comes to the door, Sammie-"
IT WILL" said the rabbit boy. But
when the old mouse lady opened the
door and stopped to pick up the basket
of good things and when Sammie
pulled the string
why-why the basket wasn't yanked
away at all. It just stayed right
there. and the mouse lady picked II
UP. and she squeeked out:
"Oh. ->ne one has been SO kind 10
me. was very hungry"
For a moment the hidden animal
! boys said nothing. Then Sammie
! spoke:
why. that was a funnyz April Fool
| trick. Someone cut the string and I
couldn't pull the basket away. That
was a funny trick he said.
Wasn't it," laughed Uncle Wiggily.
! And he never said another word. But
] when the animal boys went home
Johnny Bushytail chartered:
I'm kinder glad, after all, that We
| didn't yank the basket away from the
mouse lady"

And IL the rice pudding doesn't take

''rhe Girl of the Golden Apples
Should women use powder? OF
course they should-if they are care
full In the selection of the powder
and know how to use 1t properly. A
great many women do not know how
to use II or what kind to use.
In the first place. very little powder
should be used. II should never be
put on before retiring for the night.
It should be put on only when finish
ing the toilet. For women who have
greasy skins, powder should be used
alone. For those who have naturally
dry skins. natural fat, such as
vaseline. lanolin. glycerine. or a good
cream should first be used. very mod
erately, to soften and moisten the
skin, and the powder put on lightly
afterward
The harmless powders are made
from wheat starch. corn. rice, powder
of almonds from which the oil has
been removed, orris root. carbonate
OF magnesia or chalk, taIcum and
oxide of zinc.
A mixture OF rice powder and tai
cum Is perhaps the best. Only the
best is good enough for the skin. Rice
powders are often adultered with
phosphate of chalk, alabsster, plaster,
or even white lead. Be sure you
know what Is in the powder you use,
and then use 1t lightly and artistical-
ly to put the finishing touch to the

they are a real necessity. Another
reason is that we are all turning
our attention to color, and getting
away from the drabs, so that more
articles are needed,
The bright-colored frocks of silk
and chiffon that are being shown for
afternoon wear this spring simply
demand some sort of wrap to wear
over them, for it will be some time
before these dresses will be warm
enough to wear without a wrap.
Besides, woman never feels quite
at ease on the street. until warm
weather without something that NAV
be thrown over a bright frock Wool
wraps do not look well with a gown
of silk or chiffon. and so they are
out OF the running. where one wishes
TO be well gowned
The elimination of the woolen cloak
leaves those Of tricolette. chiffon or
satin. The wraps of tricoIette are
very lovely. but when one takes into
consideration that tricolette retails at
about, IS a yard and at that 1t is a
novelty which may or may not be
in fashion another season, the woman
of average means hesitates about in
vesting so much money in a cloak.
The chiffon wraps are dreams, but
they are bit too dressy for informal
affairs. Either the cape or the coat
of satin is by far the most practical
of the things offered for the season.
And where these wraps are purchas-
ed in dark coiorings. they make not
only covering that may be worn
with any coiored frock, but thev NAV
be worn in the evening as well as
the afternoon.
The cape which is depicted today
is of black satin. The deep yoke is
outlined by cordings run in the satin.
The long shawl collar is finished at
the ends with silk fringe The lining
of this cape is of light printed silk.

LOWER FOOD PRICES
PROMISED CONSUMER

Chicago, April 26.-Relief from the
present high prices by the middle of
June is the hope held out here to Mr..
Ultimate Consumer by Chicago COM
mission and produce dealers.
New supplies expected at that time
will cause the decline, they believed.
Upon the strength of these new sup
pills is said to hinge the per cent of
decline.
Officials of the Chicago Potato COM
pany today estimated cents a pound
as the maximum price for northern
stocks. New stocks, they believe, will
not reach this figure unless the sup
ply, forecasted as very weak, is found
to be below the figure estimated now.
Green goods are to remain high, ac
cording to produce men, until well into
June. Tomatoes may reach 26 cents
a pound, with other foods trailing not
far behind.
Victory gardens will not be numer-
Gus enough to make any great differ
ences in prices and supply according to
the dealers. They anticipate smaller
interest than was manifested during
the last two years.

BUSINESS MUST DEPEND
ON OWN COMMON SENSE
SAYS CHAIRMAN HURLEY

Chicago, April 26. - Business mus
depend on it's own common sense and
not on government agencies, according
to E. N. Hurley, chairman Of the
United States shipping board in an
address before the sixth national for
eign trade council, in convention here
today.
The larger share OF tho problems are
economic, rather than legal, said Mr..
Hurley, as he warned business men
against getting into the habit of de-
pending on the government to solve
their business difficulties.
Hurley said after three
months study of the situation in
Europe he found no outstanding
advantage there over the United
States in either production, labor
or quality He ridiculed the pessi-
mists who perceive calamity await
ing American business once Euro
pean industry and business step
into their full stride.
