WHAT IS A MULE?

Is the mule a raw or finished prod uct?
 That was the subject of a lively debate on the floor of the United States senate while the body had un- der consideration the bill to create g $100, ,000,000 corporation for the pur- chase of agricultural products"
 Senator I. H. Caraway, Arkansas $ took issue with Senator Thomas E Watson. Georgia. when the latter con tended that under the terms of the bill, the corporation might spend its money buying mules.
 AIs mule a farm product?" asked Caraway.
 If he's raised on farm he's a farm product, replied Watson.
 'Oh. the senator never raised g mule or he would never say that declared Caraway.
 Yes, I have.n countered Watson but never raised a mule in the woods. I raised him on .he farm | mule isn't an agricultural product what is he in his manufactured state.

 The airplane, therefore, has greatly surpassed the swiftness of the birds both in its power of sustained speed and in the maximum speed From 100 to 120 miles an hour can be main tained by many of the standard ma chimes. and we know that last year the racing speed was carried up to from 1S0 to 1s0 miles per hour, while recent models are credited to be even faster

When Boomer the Nighthawk went skimminK off into the night to hunt up Peter Rabbit and tell him that Little Peter was lost on the great sn9dowy Green Meadows he. left a
 ky unhappy listle Rabbit sitting Under the Lone Bush. The friendly little Night Breeze had wandered off while Boomer the Nighthawk had been talking, and now that Boomer had gone, Little Pete was rec more ~ all alone. He shivscad just a lonesome fright.

 That thought popped into Little Pete's head at just the right time. He had heard his mother say those verses eyer and ever so many times. but they never had meant anything to him until now. But now-well, was not he lonely and feeling bad and sad? And was not he worried and almost sick with fright? And wasn't everything black, just as black 3s could bey
 As he thought of this he just hap pened to look up. A thousand friend 1y little stars were winking and twfnkline down at him. Almost be- fore he thought what he was doing Little Pete smiled up at them.
 Right then he realized that things were not as black. as they seemed, and he smiled again. With that smile the little shiyers of fright stopped chasing one another up and down his backbone and somehow he felt 1eys worried, "Mammy was right, i" said Little Pete to himself: Nam my was right. A smile makes every thing look different. guess things are not 90 bad that they couldn't be woEse, and If they do get worse I'll just have to xmile harder. The ques- tion is. wl1at> In I to do next?

AIRPLANEs oUrspEEp sIRps

Everyone surely who has watched the flight of the swifter birds has made his own estimate as to their speed. The speeds attained by the carrier pigeon. the duck and the faster of the sea birds have formed the subject of endless guesswork and inevitable exaggeration. Birds which are incapable. even when at full stretch, of. doing more than forty to- fifty miles an hour, have been cred ited with 100 and more.
 Now the fact of the matter is that nothing is more difficult than to Judge of the speed of any object through the air by mere human ob- servation. Foreshortening due to perspective alone, renders 1t impos- sible to tell just when a moving ob- Ject passes above some fixed point on the ground, and almost invariably the estimated speed is far beyond the actual. At the present time the highest well-authenticated speed is that of homing pigeons. some of which have reached a speed of sixty miles an hour over comparatively short distances.
 But now comes Colonel Meinertz- hagen. noted ornithodogist in Great Britain, with the statement that dur ing his anti-aircraft duties in the war. he trained his men in instru- mental work by making them take observations of the flight of birds These he collected and then con- firmed their results by instrumental work himself. He tells us that the speed of birds. as thus accurately ascertained, is far below what it is populSsiy believed to be. varying from twenty to forty miles for the smaller passers to from forty to fifty miles an hour in the case of waders Those speeds represent steady flight: but when a bird is frightened by an enemy. or when it Is bouncing upon it's prey. it can accelerate greatly for

 great shadowy Green Meadows. ] Then Little Pete settled down to do some hard thinking. He never be- fore had had to do much thinking just do as he saw Peter Rabbit or Mrs. Peter do, or as they told him to do- Now that there was no one to copy or to tell him what to do. he must plan for himself, and he had heard his mother say that to plar, things well requires great deal of hard thinking. So this was what he had set himself tosuo.

What I must do is to find patch of briars or some place big enough for me to squeeze into and too small for any of my ene- mics to follow. don't know in which direction to go, but I guess the best way to do is to choose one di- rection and stick to it; then I will be sure to get somewhere. Now, that big black shadow way over there looks as if it might be made by a big patch of bushes. I think l will go over and find out.
 And so with a brave smile to make himself think he wasn't afraid Little Pete left the lone little bush and once more started out across the great shadowy Green Meadows, which seemed to him nothing less than the Great Wide World.

For baking CT cooking changes the starch of the efaina Grape-Nuts is the longest baked of all cereal foods. It is scientifically baked .at carefully regulated temperatures for 20 hours This is one of the reasons why Gfape-Nuts digests % easily; why it agrees with many people who cannot take any other form of cereal without producing fermentation .ss.s.ss.
