Lists at Hand.

1t is a convenient thing to carry
about with you in your handbag GER
tain measurements that may prove
very useful when you are shopping.
They may all be condensed on a
small card and can surely not be a
burden to you.
For instance. at this time Of the
year when many of the department
stores have special sales Of table and
bed linen. it is a good plan to have
the dimensions of your beds and din
ing table. Often you see veritable
bargains in bedspreads and sheets.
but hesitate to buy them because you
are not sure that they will fit your
beds.
Often you can find odd tablecloths
or remnants of table linen that you
could make use of IL You but knew
exactly the size of your table.
The dimensions of your rooms are
also something that you might carry
about with you. A little floor plan
Of your house giving the important
Of the card containing your other list.
1t may be that you will find a rug
that just suits a certain location. but
YOU are not sure of this without def
mite knowledge of dimensions. You
may see table. lounge or other
piece of furniture, but YOU hesitate
to buy it because you are not sure
that it will fit into given space.

family. and your own. too. II you are

Now / guess I'll have to go fishing. l
have an idea it will take q lot OF hsh
to satisfy that fellows appetite, l
don't know Of anything to feed him
but Ash and frogs"
So once more Farmer Browns Boy
went whistling across the Green
Meadows. He found his fish rod where
he had left it when he went over 70
the swamp to find out what Sammy
Jay had been making such a russ
about. Then he went on to the Smil.
ing Pool and began to flsh. But instead
Of trying to catch big fish ne row
fished only for little ones. For the first
time in his life he wasn't interested
In big fish. He wanted little ones and
plenty Of them. So he put on q very
and little perch. You see he wasn't
fishing for himself. but for that young
Heron back In the barn.
When he had caught a dozen he
wound up his line and started ior
room where the Heron was the long
legged bird stared at him with sus.
picion and as he stepped forward
drew back his neck as II to strike.
Farmer Browns Boy spoke softly
down in front of the Heron. For a
long time the Heron refused to touch
it. Farmer Browns Boy was patient.
Finally hunger was too much for the
young Heron: he picked up the little
fish and swallowe ed 1t head first at one
gulp Then he blinked at Farmer
Browns Boy and the latter tossed
another fish to him. There was not
so long to wait this time. The third
little fsh was picked up almost as
soon as 1t touched the floor.
Two days later that young Heron
was taking Ash from the hand of
Farmer Browns Boy and not grabbing
at them. either. II Farmer Browns
BOY gave them to him tails first he
always turned them so that they went
down his long throat heads first. And
he always swallowed a fish at one
gulp. It tickled Farmer Browns Boy.
You don't get any pleasure out Of
eating" said he.
thought otherwise. for he was always
ready to gulp down another. Ten fsh
4 day 1t took, to keep him satisfied, so
that Farmer Browns Boy had to go
fishing every evening after work. But
he didn't mind. He and the young
Heron were becoming friends. The
big bird would allow him to handle
him as he pleased. He never offered
to strike with that great bill of his.
He would even take the hand of
Farmer Browns Boy in that great
bill and gently shake it. There was
no LONGER fear or wildness in his eyes
but instead . strange look Of pleasure.
Day by day the poor hurt foot
healed and at last It was well. The
bandages were removed fol, good and
the young Heron walked as well rs
ever. Onco moro Farmer Browns Boy
eathered him up in his arms, but this
time no coat was wrapped about him.

THOUSANDS OF FEET IF FILM PICTURE WHAT
NATIONS CAPITAL IS DOING.

Dear Junior Travellers: One Of the
biggest helps to knowing our country
and thus helping in our education is
the moving picture, and no town ap-
pears in the movies as much as WASH
ington. If you just stop to think you
will see Washington on the screen
nearly every time you see the movie
weekly. Now II you divide the rest
Of the world over the entire feature
you will not see the same town very
often Here there are always photog-
graphers at the White House. There
are all kinds of machines and cameras.
The boys have cameras that cost hun
dreds of dollars and work so fast they
can even photograph Gen. Dawes. the
hurry-up man. whether he is walking
or not. OF course, the movie men can
always get him, but 80 can the still
men, too.
Out at the Columbia Country Club,
where the American open golf cham
pionship was held, was one of the big
gest collection Of cameras l ever hope
to see. 1t Is certainly mystery to me
how they can get such a wide stretch
of country through that little hole.
Right after the boys had filmed Jim
Barnes, the Pelham Pansy. as l call
him. I took look in one of those little
holes where all the action must go.

light would not get in. But ! knew
that right inside Of that little box was
Jim, the champion. making all his
swings just as l had seen him do a
few minutes before.
Also right in there was President
Harding presenting the cup to Jim
and telling him what a good golfer he
was. 1t makes no difference how much
a man turns and waves his arms when
making a speech, the photographers
get him just the same. There are two
handles on the movies. One you use
to follow the man around with and
the other keeps the finn moving at a
certain rate which the photographer
must decide upon when he figures out
the light conditions. He always has
to remember that in the theater the
films are run at a certain speed. If
he does not remember that he will
come out with a funny picture" such
as you have seen when the people are
moving either too fast or two slow. so
you laugh. That would never do when
the President was being photogra phed
OF a champion golfer was making fine
swing, would It?
Thousands of feet Of movie film are
rushed out of Washington every week.

you can see some big event that hap

Nelly Higgins is forty-fve and a

Down across the Green Meadow

AT the place where he had found the
young Heron fast in the dreadful trap
he put him down. Then he fed him
three fish and turned back. The young
