Willy sold every one of the fat geese
to the royal cook. And that Is the
way he happened to catch sight OF
the pretty princess drying her golden
hair on the back porch.
One fine morning Willy drove his
cackling flock into the back gate and
waited for the fat, cross cook to come
out. Suddenly there was great COM
motion and the soldiers ran out of the
palace white with terror.

Willy looked up and saw the prln-

But the king took the princess to

from its mouth.
Come in. my child" shouted the
king. "He will swallow you mt one
gulp, for his teeth are sharp and have
never touched anything but tender
meat"
That gave Willy an idea. In the
back of the yard was an enormous
crate. He decided that with that he
could rescue his beloved Princess and
mt the same time get rid of the Dragon
without danger to himself.
IF kill the Dragon will you allow
me to marry the Princess?' asked
Willie of the King. who was wiring
ing his hands In despair
"Of course, boy" shouted the King.

With that willy ran to hitch the

the cren, re. showing his big teeth.
The Princess trembled, but -tood
bravely on the porch. 'I will never

"All right" snnrled the Dragon, and
he opened his big mouth.
But Just then Willy loosened the
rope. the heavy iron crate swung
around and drOppe right into the
Dragons mouth. In ten minutes the
great Dragon lay dead.

That night there was a big wedding

MUCH .WASTEFULNESS
IN AWKWARD HABIT
Considerable Energy Saved in
Doing Things Right Way.
One Of Several Facts Disclosed by Ex.
periments Made by Office Of Home
Economics-Low Kitchen
Table is Wearing.

From buttonipg shoes to washing
way of doing all work. as everyone
well knows. Now, along comes the
scientist, who says his experiments
show that, aside from feeling and
looking more comfortable when you
do your work in the right way, you
also save considerable energy.
This fact is one of several which
recent experiments made by the Office
of home economics of the United
States department of agriculture have
disclosed. These experiments have
been made for the purpose of deter
mining the energy requirements of an
individual in the various circum-
stances of his daily life and for use
In estimating the amounts and kinds
of food required by him to meet the
needs of his body for energy.
1t was found in the homely every
day task of dish washing that, when
woman washed dishes on table so
low that she was obliged to bend over,
her energy output was 80 calories per
hour. When she washed them on a
table that was little too high for
comfort, 1t required 25 calories per
hour, while only 81 calorles were used
when the working surface was of the
right height.
II doesn't take long to saw Off the
legs OF table or to put blocks under

doing her housework, walks So miles
and carries "a tons of water during
the year, is not getting fair show,
the United States department of agri-
culture believes.
Small wonder 1t is. under these con-
ditiOns, that as soon as possible the
farm woman wants to move into town.
where she can have more cOnveniences
and where she thinks life is more
pleasant and less strenuous.
The home demonstration agents are
teaching farm women the value Of
simple and inexpensive equipment
which eliminates inconvenience and
drudgery. In many instances 1t is lack
Of thought on the subject rather than
lack of money that cOmpels the farm
housewife to do work under such han
dicaps. If the exodus from the farm
to the city is to be stopped, the farm
er's wife must be given a chance at
health and happiness on the farm ;
otherwise she will use her influence
toward moving to town.

CHINS AND NECKS

A GREAT number of women write,
n asking ways to reduce double
chin. OF course, general reduction all
over the body will strip the extra
flesh from under the chin, but many
women are too easy going In nature
IN want to reduce. Then, many carry
their heads hanging down so the chin
droops. and the flesh forms little bag
beneath the chin.
A very good way to overcome this
is by exercising. Fitting the head far
back, then forward, repeating several
times. is one good method of working
off the loose flabby tissue. Another

PLOW AND CULTIVATE
TO KILL June BUGS
Beetles Are Parents of White
Grub, Harmful to Corn.
1t Takes Three Years for One Of In
sects to Develop From Egg Which
Is Deposited in Meadows and
Sometimes in Cornfields.

(By CHARLES c. wENTZLER.)
Have you ever seen the so-called
June bug buzzing around an electric
light or see them swarm on the side
walk In the gray of a spring morning?
They are a big, dark-brown beetle
and at night when they bump against
the window panes or fly humping
against the ceiling make you crawl and
hunt for the broom.
These laundering, awkward beetles,
of which the chickens and birds are SO
fond, are the parents Of the corr pest
known as the white grub" which
feeds IN the roots Of the plants and
destroys them.
Millions Of them are destroyed In
spring by hungry birds and myriad
others go down to death in swarming
around the arc lights of a city. They
are so sensitive to light that a flame,
miles away, will attract them.
1t takes thres years for one of these
beetles to develop from the egg. The
beetles deposit their eggs in meadows
and sometimes in eornfields. The tiny
grubs which emerge from the eggs de-
velop into thick, fleshy. white grubs
which are also much sought for by
birds. When matured they are fully
