not very pleasant voice:
oh! Oh! This is terri BILE! The
Toodle Oodle is chasing re! Run!
Kun! Or the Toodle Oodle may get
you"
Who is the Toodle oodle ?" asked
Uncle Wiggily. as he caught hold
OF Sammie's paw"
"Oh, the Toodle Oodle Is worse
than the Pipsisewah or the Skee-
zicks,' answered Reggie. HE 10
DIG and fat, like a COW, and he has
six horns on his head"
Then we'd better rum" cried
Uncle Wiggily.
And we'd better run to my
house" added Sammie. TT isn't
far from here. We can hide in my
ground house"
That will be best" spoke Uncle
Wisgi!y. So, holding Sammie by
the paw, while Reggie, the PROUD
peacock boy, strutted and half few
along beside them, the bunny gem
tlensn and Sammie hoped through
the woods. Soon they came TO the
hole that was the front door OF
Sammie's burrow home
oh. the Toodle Oodle is right
after us" cried Reggie. as he fold
ed his tail and followed Sammie
down the hole. Being a peacock
boy. and not a full-grown fowl,
Reggie could easily get into the
hole
Were just in time!" said Uncle
Wigsily, as he, too. slipped down
the hole after the two boys.
Up came the Toodle oodle, puffine
like steam engine and shaking
his six horns.
Just my luck" he cried, as he
came to stop outside Sammie's
grouhd house. They got away
from me and now / can't have any
souse for dinner. l can't get down
that hole, for I'm too fat and my
horns stick out too much. But IL
L had caught that Reggie Spot Tail

And I guess he would. too said
Reggie, who heard what the Tcodle
Oodle said. outside the door of the
underground house. And with HI.

ripped my wooden house apart.

We'll. he can't get in here"
laughed Uncle Wiggily.
This isn't such a bad house. aft
er ALL said the peacock boy. and
when the Toodle Oodle had gone
Reggie and Sammie played around
outside, and Mrs. Littletail gave
them some lettuce fudge to eat, and
after that Reggie was not so
proud. which was good thing

Few people would think of going
to the pantry for a "beautifer" and
the idea may be a bit unusual just
at first, but while I'm telling all l
know l might as well tell this, too.
Many people find clear, home-ren-
dered lard as effective as any face
cream on the market. 1t softens and
cleanses the skin in an almost magi-
cal fashion.
Rub 'ft" into the face with the
fingers and then rub it off with a
piece of soft cheese-clo or an old
towel.

What S in a Name?
VERONICA.
By Mildred Marshall.

Veronica has full rights to her
claims as a holy name. II signifies

Latin 'Verus," meaning true. and
the Greek word for image. The two
terms were strangely jumbled to-
gether by the popular tongue in the
name of the crucifix at Lucca.
which was called the Veronica and
was that Holy Face Of Lucca." bv
which oaths were taken.
Another Veronica is the same
countenanCe upon a piece OF linen
at St Peters. The origin being
forgotten, this is called St. Veron-
ica's handkerchief. and the popula
legend is that q woman who had
lent her handkerchief to our
Blessed Savior to wipe His face dur
ing the passage of the Via Doloro-
sa had found the likeness imprint
ed on 1t. In a poem on the life of
Plate, we are told that the suffer-
ing Emperor of Rome. learning that
a woman at Jerusalem named Yer
onike" possessed this handkerchief
which had the power to heal the
sick sent for her and was cured.
In this way, Veronica became a
SAINT. though there was a real Saint
Veronica who lived near Milan in
the fifteenth century.
The French love the name and
call it Neronique. The Scotch. who
have an exquisite blue flower known
as Veronica. have given the name
national popularity.

One day. when Uncle Wiggily
Longears, the bunny rabbit gentle
man, was hopping over the helds
and through the woods, wondering
what would happen, he heard
some voices talking in a field OF
mullen stalks.
These mullen stalks were tall
weeds, like the spears some SOL
diers carry. In summer the null
len weeds have broad, green leaves,
but when winter comes the leaves
dry up, leaving only the stalk,
which is as tall as a broomstick
and almost as thin. Uncle .Wiggi-
ly listened to the voices in the field
of mullen stalks.
Il live in a very fine house" said
one voice. 1T has a roof of tar
paper, and it has windows and
doors in it. And We have a wire
fence around our house, only 1
found a hole in the wire and that's
how | got out"
Hum! 1 wonder who that is?'
thought Uncle Wiggily. 81 don't
seem to know that voice. Must De

Then another voice said:
We'll. my Uncle Wiegily lives in
a nice hollow stump bungalow, and
IL has windows and a roof, and
Nurse Jane Fuzzy WuZzy lives
there. too"
But where do You live?" asked
the voice that had first spoken. DO
you live in a stylish house like
mlne?"
I'VE used to live with Uncle Wig

he lives in his hollow stump bung-

you wouldn't like our house. It's

It is believed that the rocket will soar to an altitude of hundreds of miles and return without demolishing the scienti- fife apparatus it carries. There will not of course be any human passenger, but the apparatus will automatically record a variety of interesting things. At compara- lively low attitudes but higher than any balloon has ever risen readings will be made of the vel ocity of the wind the pressure of the air. humidity and temper ature.
