MR.. CATERPILLAR.

"Just because / crawl these days
doesn't mean that l am going to crawl
my way through life" said Mr.. Cat
erpill0r to Pete- Gnome.
Il am going to fly before long. Now
boys ana girls must always walk or
run or sit. They cannot fly. They
cannot even crawl, though | believe
babies do crawl some when they are
quite young.
If they changed after they had
craWled and could fly 1t would be
very fine but they can't, and some
now or other they do not seem to feel
badly about 1t.
1 would feel very badly If, after /
had crawled about. l couldn't fly later
on. l know that I will be able to fly,
and so 1t makes me very happy.
You see, first of all I'm nothing but
nm egg. If l were an egg to be eaten
by people, l suppose they would think
a lot Of me.
but then l wouldn't think so much
of myself. OF course, l wouldn't be
able to think much of myself if | were
eaten"
"Of course not" said Peter Gnome.
IF I'm eaten by other creatures it

IS their pleasure and not mine; but
| am never eaten by people, as Mrs.
Hens eggs are continued Mr.. Cater
pillar.
From an egg I change into my
present state, which, as you can see,
is the state Of being a caterpillar, and
a fine caterpillar | am.
"Then l Will change into chrysalis
and be quiet and still and will not
move about or bother about food, but
will dream of my flying days to come.
THAT is why we are willing to be
SO quiet when we are in the chrysalis
state-because we know we are going
to fly before long.
Eyes, after l will be a chrysalis
will be butterfly, and l will spread
my wings and go flying about.
II will admire the garden, and l
will look at the 40 iris flowers and the
80 yellow tulips which I've been told
are in this garden.
"They may be gone by the time
I'm a butterfly. But still there will be
other flowers"
Did you count the iris flowers and
the yellow tulips2" asked Peter
GnOme.
Goodness, mercy, no." said the cat
erpillar; Il can't do arithmetic.
don't have to learn anything like that
We Caterplllars have enough to do
with our various changes, not to have
to bother about arithmetic.
But l heard some one saying there
were that many iris flowers and that
many tulips in bloom, and so I'm tell
ing you that bit Of garden news.
81 believe that person who counted
the flowers was going to write the
news to a friend in the city. You see,
in the city, l believe they cannot count
the flowers like that. The flowers
aren't so numerous In the city.
$50 that is real country news!
I'm like a snake in another way be-
sides crawling" said Mr.. Caterpillar
after a moment.
"Of course all creatures wouldn't
care to be like a snake In any way"
said Peter Gnome.
Creatures for the most part have
very little sense" said Mr.. Caterpillar.
"If they had more sense they would
do the things l do, such as changing
from one state into another l don't
mean going from one state in the
country to another state, but l mean
changing myself into another kind Of a
creature.
$50 l do not mind that ] am like a
snake in one Way-Or rather, in two
ways For l crawl and a snake crawls,
The other way I am like snake IS
that ! shed my skin as | increase or
grow bigger in size.
"Ah yes, that is what do, and fine
thing it is to do.
well, Peter Gnome, I'm glad to
have talked to you, but I must be
thinking about being a chrysalis now,
and then | viii be a butterfly
yes, Mr.. Caterpillar will be a but
terlly before long, and instead Of
crawling along the ground he will fly
through the air. That is the wonder
full thing Mr. Caterpillar will be doing
before long. 1t is wonderful way
caterpillars have of doing"

Pueblo Most Serious
BY far the most severe of the dis
asters in the United States during the
period covered by the Red Cross re-
port was the Pueblo flood early in
June, 1921. The rehabilitation prob
lem confronting the Red Cross in
Pueblo was one of the most difficult
IN recent years. When the first news
of the horror was flashed throughout
the country, the American Red Cross
National Headquarters responded with
a grant of 100000 for relief work.
Governor Shoup Of Colorado, appre-
ciating the long and successful expert
ence Of the Red Cross in organizing
disaster relief work, placed the en-
tire responsibility for the administra-
ton Of relief in its hands.
In response to appeals from Pres,-
dent Harding, Governor Shoup and
other governors Of western states and
through local chapters Of the Red
Cross and other community organiza-
lions, public-spirited citizens brought
the total contributed for Pueblo's re-
Mobilization to more than $325,0O0
The terrible havoc wrought by the
flood waters is a matter Of record.
More than 1900 homes were affected
and 1851 persons were left homeless.
Estimates of 100000 as an absolute
minimum for rehabilitation were made
by Red Cross officials in charge Of the

Of a small emergency relief fund con-
tributed by the Red Cross, the only
relief measures outside the city con-
sisted of the service of social work
ers, nurses and trained executive
whose object was to assist local forces
in directing their own efforts.
In decided contrast with the pre-
vious year, only one tornado assumed
the proportions of a major disaster.
This occurred on April Is, In the Dor
der sections Of Texas and Arkansas
with the city Of TeXarkana as the
center. The significant feature of this
disaster relief work was the fact that
it covered 50 much rural territory as
to make necessary a large number Of
relief workers.

Cross gave aid.
Builds Up Its Machinery
In connection with the administra
ton of disaster relief measures, an In.
creasing effectiveness on the part OF
the Red Cross to deal with emergen-
cies was manifested during the past
wear. In 32S Chapters of the Ameri-
can Red Cross there have been formed
special committees to survey the re-
sources of their respective communi-
ties and to be prepared in case OF
disaster. In others Of the 3,402 active
Chapters. a network of communication
has been formed through which instan-
taneous relief may be dispatched to
any part Of the United States.
That its work in this field may be
continued with ever greater effective
ness. the American Red Cross is ap-
healing for widespread renewal OF
membership during It's Annual Roll

4 The Life Extension institute. a
public health organization, has decided,
1t was acknowledged yesterday, to come
out fatfooted FOR eorsets. Whatever
the old physiology school books may
have said about them and purported TO
prove By distressing pictures OF livers
and things whose rightful ambitions
have been rushlessly suppressed, cor
sets are essential TO women to-day, in
the opinion of institute experts.
DR.. D. M. Dunn, head Of the woman's
department. Of the institute, and Jean
nette Eaton, head of the educational
department, said yesterday that the
neutrality which the institute had
maintained In the battle Of the corsets
was to be abandoned. After examining
l5, 900 women in the last year DR.. Dunn
has been convinced, she said, that the
trouble is not that they wear corsets,
but that they wear the wong kind of
corsets.
II was said that not one Of the
women examined. whether she wore
cor 1,ts or not had the correct physi-
ologicai posture. Seventy per cent Of
them. it was found, were wearing COR
sets which encouraged their faulty pos
tura instead os tending to correct 1T.

When the perfect corset is ready for
the market, it is hoped to have q book

pair, snstructing the wearer how to
exercise her abdominal muscles. It is
admitted by DR.. Dunn "A that ,corsets
may have tendency to weaken these
muscles, but she is satisfied that If
she can get women TO exercise them
every day and wear the correct corset,
they will attain that perfect posturs

1T is our opinion said DR.. Dunn.
that every pair of corsets SOLD should
be accompanied by special illustrated
exercises for strengthening the muscles
that it otherwise might weaken, for
no corset, no matter how carefully de-
signed, can do everything.

The dramatic climax to the most
astounding kidnapping case in the his

morning. arthur Carr was trapped by
the police while teiephoning to the
Witherell home late last night, de-
manding the ransom. Mrs. Alma Brv

that the Kidnapping of Mrs. Witherel.
