All the way to school Peter Rabbit
wondered who he and the others
would learn about that day He was
SO busy wondering that he became
needless. Peter is apt to be needless
at times. He was so busy thinking
and wondering that he forgot to
watch his steps. The result was that
as he hoped out of a tangle
just within the Green Forest, he all
but landed in something worse than
the worse brambles that ever grew.
1t was only by wild jump to one side
side that he saved himself. Peter had
almost landed right in among the
thousand little spears of Prickly
Porky the Porcupine.
Gracious." exclaimed Peter. that
was a narrow escape. What are you
doing way over here. you prickly

why don't you look where you are

sweet potatoes. peel, mash and put
through a sieve. To two cups of the
potato add a half cup of cream or rich
milk. a full teaspoon of butter or but

and one beaten egg. The recipe calls
for a quarter cup of sugar Now beat
all the ingredients until they become
light and creamy. Put in a buttered
baking dish and bake until it is a

not walk along minding his own busi-

into or jumped on by needless, harum-

He waddled along a few steps and
then began talking again. more to
himself than to Peter. Il don't see
what Old Mother Nature sent for me
for this morning. l hate a long walk.
Yes, sir. hate a long walk"
Peter pricked up his long ears "I
know" he cried. You are going to
school. Prickly Porky. Old Mother
Nature has sent for you to come to
school You are Rodent. and it must
be that we are going to learn all
about you this morning"
I'm not a Rodent: I'm Porcupine."
grunted Prickly Porky, Indignantly.
You're Rodent. just the same"
retorted Peter. glad of chance to
air his knowledge. you've got big
gnawing teeth. and any one with
| teeth like those is. a Rodent" Then,
at a sudden thought. funny look
passed over his face and he added.
| Why, that means that you and l are
| related in a way"
Don't believe it." grunted Prickly
| Porky, still shuff1ing along. Don't
believe a word of it. Don't want to
! be related to anybody as needless as
you. What is this school anyway
! Don't want to go to school. Know all
want to know. Know how to get all

body get out of my way and leave me
alone and that's enough to know

New Years Day was as pretty

| the sun shone so brightly that many
persons discarded oyercoats and
wraps and remarked about the
spring-like weather. DUNG the
night the weather became somewhat
colder but not to any marked de-

great change and by night it was
bitter cold, in fact, regular blizzard
weather prevailed that night. there
being a snow storm between eleven
and twelve and the wind hoWled as
if it lad just been loosed from the
North Pole.
Saturday and yesterday continued
cold with the result that the Greer
was frozen over hard enough to per-
nit skating yesterday and today the
other. The outlook now IS that the
present cold spell may continue
several days.
There are quite a number of peo-
pie who believe that a cold spell
similar to that of 1918 may be ex-
pected, but the majority of people
figure differently. In the first place

year, while the water has been Chill

the warm rays of the sun would be to
rot the ice and cause it to leave

the ice caused a kind of slush which
prevented the temperature of the

thaw for the ice to knit quickly to-

oysters in Cambridge within a short

prices that have prevailed there is
rather a limited supply on hand at

.SEXOF UNBORN MAY.
Be PREDETERMINED.
Parents May Have Boys or Girls
At Will, BY Taking Thought,
Says Doctor.

, NEW YORK. June 1T.-Not only
the sex OF the unborn child. but it's
stature and disposition. may be pre-
determined by mental suggestion.
This in substance was the state
ment yesterday by DR.. AlzaTmon l.
Logan at the ninth annual conven-
tion OF the Allied Medical Association
OF America. The meeting was held
in the Hotel Pennsylvania.
DR.. Logan's remarks followed the
reading OF paper by DR.. Eugene j.
Czukor. of Buffalo. dealing with the
philosophy and practise OF psyche
thrapy. The paper dealt largely
with nervous disorders and the
power mental suggestion had upon
these.
After DR.. Czukor had told how in
treating drug sddicts. after getting
their minds in proper shape he had
given them water for morphine, DR..
Logan took up the discussion.
He HAS 70 INSTANCES.
DR.. Logan said he placed much
faith in the power OF mental sug-
gestion. He was positive that the
sex OF a child could be determined
before birth. for. he said, he had been
successful in determining seventy
nine cases in this manner. Two of
these were in his own family.
The result could be accomplished d
by mental suggestion on the part OF
the mother, he said, By continued
suggestion from the father and
mother for twenty-seven months,
prior to conception not only the/sex.
but the stature and disposition OF
the child could be determined.
DR.. Logan said that IL parents
wanted their child TO be a genius this
could be accomplished II they would
make this twenty-seven months
start. A baby would grow up to be
a musicion, an artist a politician or
what ever the parents might wish by
this method.
SHOULD LIVE TO BE 1000
Turning to human longevity. he
said:
There is no need for people to
die when they are eighty or ninety
years old. There is no reason why
they should not live to be 200, 800
or even a thousand years old.
I'm the Biblical times people lived
to be several hundred years old. Ma
ture never intended people to die so
young. This is proved by the fact
that the human teeth have been
preserved for 1000 years. Nature
never would have provided that one
part OF the body should be so pre-
served had II not intended that the
other parts might be preserved FOR
an equal period"
