What do you mean by that" asked
Mr.. White-Tailed Deer. Are we not
animals of the dark forests. and do
We net see that there are plenty of

you think so?'
No, l think we're WISE" said Mrs.
White-Tailed Deer. But then we're
in the zoo now. 1t isn't the free, wild
life, but at least IL Is safe. Here we
can be sociable and no one will harm

The zoo people will not let anyone
hurt Us. They Will only let people
come to admire eur antlers and our

That's true" said Mr.. White-Tailed
Deer. but at the same time we do
nice things for them. We don't like
some animals, refuse to let our babies

FATES ATTEND BABY'S BIRTH
Peculiar Superstition That Has Strong
Hold on the Poorer Glasses
of Greece

Almost every nation has some par
ticular superstition or belief about
babies, and these result in actions
which vary all the way from the Mt
terly absurd to the terrible tragic.
The peasantry of Greece firmly believe
that the future of every child is de-
termined by three fates, known as the
Moral. In the popular mind these
fates are three old women, whose
habitation is mountain cave and
they come together to a house where
there is a newborn child In prepara-
ton for them, all furniture Is set aside.
that their lettering footsteps may not
be impeded, and refreshments in the
shape of honey, bread, cakes and wine
are set out for these important though
invisible guests. Money. too. Is placed
on the table. as bride, for 1t is be-
lieved that in the gift of these fates
are all good things as well as bad.
Under no circumstances must child's
beauty be alluded to while the Moral
may be in the house, or they will GER
tainly make Its good looks disappear.

However. in the midst of our bed

lights turned off the main road and

using the rear seat of our car for her
toudoir, gathered her kimono about
her and ran around in front of our

other car should be turned in our di-

At the same time another member
of our party reached for the switch

ted States. Such is the statement of
the United States department of Ia
Dor.
The growing needs of the country

sive highway system be constructed"
says Robert F. Black. Chicago mana
ger of a large motortruck concern.
I'm the past there has been too great
a lack of foresight on the part of the
road builders. They have lacked vi

Motor transportation is growing eco
nomical necessity. a fact that is being
recognized more and more each day as
motortrucks are called upon to handle
traffic that the railroads cannot accom-
modate.
Estimates prepared by engineering
authorities show that the United
States could afford to spend $780,
coo. 900 on a hard-surfaced road system
of $4,000 miles which would serve di-
rectly and indirectly 81 per cent of
the population of the entire country.
Not only would such system be an
economic asset that would pay for
itself many times ever. but its con-
struction would provide work for
many thousands of people for num-
Der of years. and in that respect alone
would have great business value to
the country in general.
war increases business to replace
the great losses of destruction but
the development OF a nation in times
OF peace provides more normal and
healthy market for labor and mate
rial that can be made a stabilizer of
business and Industrial conditions.

TT IS lucky thing for the Ameri-
can public that the women whose
intelligence raises them to the re-
sponsibility of buying for the great de-
partment stores and mail order houses
are gifted in several directions. In
telligence in the selection of good
styles is a necessary part Of their
equipment. They cultivate a sense
of clothes which is another way of
describing the art of dressing ap-
propriately-the fine art of dressing
correctly. 1t is true that they must
consider in their purchasing a follow
ing that will not buy their most taste
full merchandise. But when they make
their display and match up their
choice of clothes with that Of other
buyers, we may be fairly sure of see
ing the best things that money will
buy.
The arbiters Of fashion insist that
the schoolgirl should be dressed as a
schoolgirl. That dress should occupy
very small part Of her time and at
tention while she is in school. That
her clothes should be simple and in
conspicuous. and that utility and neat
pess are their important requisites. It
