Just as they were entering the wood

from the farm, and off ran Jimmie and
Susie Cottontail looking for hole in
which to hide.
Mr.. Fox's house was the first re-

burst. with Mr.. Dog at theiK heels.
OF course, there was no ditner and
the party was spoiled, for Everybody

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
BY c. N. Lurie
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them

"AIN'T."
II N THESE articles some Of the more
Il common errors in speech and writ
Ing are pointed out. Careful study Of
these short lessons, with the use of a,
standard grammar, will assist the,
reader In acquiring the habit of speak
ing and writing correctly.
One of the most common errors is,
the use of "ain't." This word Is ai
combination of the verb Fam" and the
adverb, mot" or of the verb "are" and
the adverb mot" Very many persons,
say f'he amt" "she amt" or 81 ANTI
but few, If any, of them would say she,
am not" or "he are not" Indeed, while.
the use Of "ain't' with "I' or I'VE" or,
"you" or "they" or plural nouns is,
strictly speaking, dramatically cor,
rect, the use Of "aint" is certainly in
elegant and is condemned by many
authorities on English grammar. ID
should disappear altogether from the
language, in spite of its long history.
Correct usage is: II am not" or Tim
not; "he, she or 1t is not, or isn't" !;
1--WE, you, they are not"

side it will give them room to spread.
This is less painful than wearing gold
bands to hold them in place.
Gold filings in front are an abOmi-
nation even chorus girls are avoiding.
White enamel filings should be put in
wherever filling shows, so that 1t may
be invisible. If one front tooth has it's
edge bit lower than the other one
a good dentist can file it off to make
them even across.
Peroxide of hydrogen Is good
mouth disinfectant and bleach, but
should not be used too often. 1t will
whiten yellowish teeth, though. Orris
and chalk is as good a tooth powder
as anyone could have, and is about
the least expensive. When brushing
the teeth brush sidewise across them,
then up and down, to get out the tar
tar that collects and sometimes gets
under the gum, causing long trouble
and longer dentist bills.

HEALTH OF THE TEETH

a CLEVER advertising man once
4 y started campaign for new
sort Of tooth powder. 1t was in the
days when advertising was rather an
untried game and this mans ideas
were rather new to all who read them.
BY the time he had finished he had
proved beyond much question that
about every i'll that human flesh is heir
TO came from not cleaning the teeth
enough, or with the wrong sort of
dentifrice--the moral of the tale being
to use his special sort of powder or
paste, of course. Another man found
that only two people out of ten ever
clean their teeth at all He was adj
vertising brushes.
Well we are advertising beauty, and
one of its attributes is charming

He refused, however, to heed either
advice or warnings and set out IN
search of land. After much effort he
discovered a single spot not covered
by water and alighted. But he found
it only deep mud SO he decided TO
hunt farther for some dry place on
which to rest But, alas, when he
came to fly, he found his tail feathers
stuck fast in the mud
He pulled and pulled, but could not
get them loose. Finally, however, af-
ter gigantic tug. he managed to free
himself. But bits Of mud stuck to the
end of the tail feathers. And to this
day turkeys have dark spots there
a sign Of their disobedience to divine
command.
The turkey PLAYS a more important
part in the life of the Indian than in
his legends alone. Not only is it re-
garded as choice article of food, but
in many tribes it is held sacred. In
the parts of the country where curious
devotion to animals characteriZes
different stages In the develop
ment of civilization-it was never eat
en- except when other food was IN
obtainable
Turkey feathers rank next in impor-
lance to those of the eagle with all
tribes. while the Apaches, the Pamun-
keys and Cheyennes chose the turkeys
feathers for all ceremonial headdresses
and ornaments. The Pamunkey tribe
also used turkey feathers for orna-
mental purposes on their clothing, as
we'll as for their headgears. To this
day, when they don their native cos
tunes, the turkey feather is preferred
as ornament
IF Benjamin Franklin's words had
been needed the turkey would have
been the national bird of the United
| States. The eagle is a first cousin to
| the species known of old in the eastern
hemisphere. Furthermore, it has APP
peared upon the banners of many ma
| tions. 1t was symbol of the Roman
empire. 1t was known in China for
ages, and today it appears upon the
banners of Russia, Germany and sew
eral other nations
The turkey, however, is indigenous
! to America. When the early Eu-
| rSpean Adventures and settlers ar
rived they beheld great flocks of tur-
| keys. and it soon became known that
| they were a favorite food among the
! Indians. After while turkeys We're
proudly sent home as trophies of the
! chase In this way the turkey became
practically world-favorite as food.
When Cortes in 1919 assembled to the
Plateau of Mexico he found social

oriental magnificence. All the deli

were set before him, and though game
| was abundant, the turkey held the
place of honor among the, fowl. This
/ was the first time that the Spaniards
had eaten turkey.

THE BARBER-PoLE.

THE Prophet Ezekiel mentions bar
Il bers-"Take thou BARRIERS

is of much later date. The barber in
medieval times was also surgeon.
and as the principal operation then
was bleeding, he hung out his brass
bowl and pole with red stripe to
indicate the bandage. Our modern
gold-baIl-tipped, red and white pole
comes from these symbols.

Mexico. In all the Indian villages, ac-
cOrding to those early explorers, tur-
| keys were to be found, both wild and

Cortes. in one of his famous letters
written about 1913, mentions the tur-
key. He carried specimens of the bird
TO Spain in 1920, where they came into
| immediate popularity, and the breed
| ing of turkeys soon became establish
| ed. 1t was then that the turkey be-
came known as 'pavos," on account
| of his relationship to the peacock,
which was then called 'pavo rear'-
the fowl of kings.
It was long time before the tur-
| key reached France as far as can be
| learned from history, for the first tur-
| key eaten there was at the wedding
! of Charles TX and Elizabeth of Aus
| tria. June q, 1870, or SO years after
! Spain had first tasted the bird The
turkey supplied for the wedding came
| from somewhere in. the American
wilderness"
It's introduction into England seems
TO have been in 1924. But, whenever
| it was, it soon came into popular favor
and was given such local names as
Black Norfolk and Large Cambridge.
1t is an interesting fact that these
descendants of the parent stock were
| carried back again across the Atlantic
| ocean to <ew England. where, crossed
with the original turkey already there,
| they began the breed that has spread
| from one end of the country to the
| other.
| Many have been the explanations
! made as to how the bird now so pOpu-
| lar at Thanksgiving came to be called
| the turkey, most of which, to the true
scientist, are nothing but fanciful The
bird was called turkey because it was
| supposed to come from Turkey, where
| if was known as an Egyptian hen.
| The markets of north Europe received
| this fowl as coming from south Eu-
rope, directly or indirectly from Tur
key In France, however. the bird was
! called "dindOn," or in the feminine
'dinde," as though it were the fowl
| d'Inde-frOm India.
/ But whatever dispute has arisen as
| to the name of the turkey the fact yet
remains that the turkey is indigenous
! to America. Although scientists be-
lieve it is possible that there was
! species, the original of the present tur-
! key, indigenous TO the West India is
| lands, it is generally conceded that all
| turkeys have descended in some way
| or other from the three forms known
/ today as the North American the Mex
lean and the Honduras, the oceHated
/ variety.
The Mexican turkey is found wild
throughout the republic. 1t appears to
/ be the species first taken to Spain and
| other European countries. 1t Is
/ thought that the white markings of the
variety of domestic turkey known to-
dav as the Narragansett come from
this species.
Whatever the turkey may have miss
ed through failing to secure that place
of honor suggested for 1t by Benjamin
/ Franklin-as the national bird--it has
nevertheless found a place in the re-
gard of the American people which is
held by no other fowl-at least at
Thanksgiving.

and cider. Let it go at that. Enough
is as good as a feast.
Which reminds us that no king or
naughty potentate Of any kind, even
I'm prewar days when they were many,
could by any human possibility have
a more toothsome feast. They aren't
made, you know.
Which also reminds us that the tur-
key is Americas gift to the world.
The turkey is truly an American
bird. 1t existed on the continent with
the Indians before Columbus landed.
Only a few years ago among the caves
of Arizona the mummified remains of
a turkey were found Practically every
cave once occupied by the cliff dwell
ers of that region contained the bones
or feathers of the turkey, but this spe-
cimen Is intact. It's age is a matter
of speculation among the scientists of
the National museum, where the speci-
men is on exhibition.
Another interesting fact in this same
connection resulted from q scientific
expedition which DR.. G. Hart Merri-
man made among the mountains of
Arizona he came across living spe-
cies of bird identical with the one
found mummified and which is known
to the scientific world by his name.
Another recent discovery in cOnnec-
ton with the turkey was a Maya hero
glyphic. This piece of parchment shows
grocer's account In which is men
toned, with other things. ten turkey
hens and five turkey cocks. The dis
tinction between the two is quite ap-
parent in the crude drawings. This is
thought to be the first record of the
turkey I'm this country and antedates
the expedition of Cortes to Mexico
I'm 1910
But the turkey goes back further
among the Indians than even the prob
able date at which the specimen found
I'm the cave existed. Among the Zunis
for instance, there exist many legends
handed down from time immemorial
which have Tor their SUBJECT the tur'
key.
Perhaps none is more interesting
than the one which tells why his his tsil
feathers are dark, showing, as 1t does
not only the place he held in the esti-
nation of the Indians, but also no
ticeable similarity TO the flood story
from our Bible.
Once upon time, so the legend runs
there was a flood and the face of the
5orld was covered with water sand
the turkey, weary of continually flying
decided to seek some spot on which
he might light and rest. But the other
birds and animals advised him not to;
and the very gods themselves warned
him.
