THE JUMPING CONTEST.

Having had Mir. Crows permission, the Muley Cow went on stretching her legs as much as she pleased. She jumped the pasture fence; and she jumped it back again. And when she seemed about to stop Billy Wood chuck whispered to her, You may as well keep a-stretching them. Keep .a-iumping And when the time for the real contest with Nimble Deer comes your legs will be stretched so long that you'll beat Nimble without the slightest trouble"
 So the Muley Cow jumped over the fence and back, over the fence and back. And when at last she said she was ready for the contest. Billy Woodchuck still urged her to stretch her legs a bit more.
 By the time he was willing to let her stop the Muley Cows sides were heaving and she seemed to be some what red in the face.
 Meanwhile Jimmy Rabbit and Billy Woodchuck, with Mir. Crows help had picked out clump of young hawthorns for the first test. And, now that everybody was ready for the con test Nimble Deer cleared the clumr gracefully with foot to spare
 Then came the Muley Cows turn She looked worried as she fell into a numbering gallop and ran towards

To Prepare Berries

Hull berries. Put in colander and set the colander in a big pan of cold water. The berries will rise to the top of the water. Skim out, re- move colander from water and put berries back in colander. Wash through fresh water.
 If you lift the colander full of berries from the water the berries are crushed against each other. Save three or four of the finest berries to garnish the top of the shortcake. Put berries in large bowl Sprinkle with sugar. Allow about F cup sugar to pint of berries. Crush berries slightly with a wooden potato masher.
 Put the bowl in a pan of hot Wa the shortcake. Never split and fill a shortcake till ready 10 serve 1t.
 Shortcake for Four
 One and one half cups four, ? teaspoons baking powder 3 dessert spoons butter, teaspoon sugar, IA teaspoon salt, cold water to make a soft dough.
 The method of mixing is the same, One solid pint of berries can he stretched to serve four but serving of berries is bit skinny"
 Instead of baking the cake in one big pan. individual biscuits are often made. These are split and prepared just like the big shortcake. There | is less controversy over the biggest piece" and the shortcake is easier tc serve when individual cakes arc made.
 Whipped cream will "go' further with shortcake than plain cream Cream swells to one-third it's bulk when whipped.
 Shortcake is often made with sponge cake instead of biscuit dough In this case whipped cream is alwaye served and the berries are not crushed.
 Old-fashioned strawberry shortcake is almost a whole meal in ltsel1. Use it as a luncheon dessert or with a. light dinner. Clear soup, fish salad, brown bread and butter, old-fashloned strawberry shortcake and coffee would make a. nourishing meal for the aver age person.

the bergs break loose and sometimes force their way into the ordinary lanes of steamship travel is near at hand, however. and the Photographic office welcomed the decision of the London association of steamship com- panies and promptly communicated with all the remainder of the so lines operating over the north Atlan- tic routes.
 Reports One Berg
 The coast guard cutter Tampa is on international ice patrol duty off the Grand Banks at present and has not reported the presence of more than one berg in the vicinity of the steam ship lanes within the last ten days. That berg apparently broke up and disappeared. although shipping was put around the obstruction for sev- eral days by radio messa ges from the cutter.
 The berg which sank the Titantic made it's appearance in the steamship tracks on April 12, the disaster oc- curing on the night of that date. Naval officials generally were pleased at the attitude of the stea mship lines this year in deciding to switch to the safe routes, 60 miles south of the or dinary spring track without awaiting for the ice to compel such action. The transfer to the south adds ap- proyimately 40 miles to the steaming distance between American and Eur opean ports and shipping companies have previously been disinclined to make the change except when the ice actually was in the northern tracks.

 WHO'S BEST DRESSED IN FAMILY? SONNYBUB

Certainly the small hoy Is the least vain of all Gods creatures, yet, he is one of the smartest garbed of the whole human family, smart sim plicity is the keynote today of correct clothes for the small boy
 From Fashions League of Nations, we Americans pick this spring sug- gestons from Every land and every century From our cousins, the Eng fish, we have adopted the jersey suit for small boys
 There Is also no fabric known which seems more suitable for little boys suits than jersey, It comes in a score of desirable shades, 1t is of just the right weight to be prac- tical for almost the whole year around, 1t dry cleans or washes beau tifully and 1t never looks crumped, as even the most exquisite linen suit soon does,
 The open-at-tle- -knee French pants, which the older boys call "nappers," have quite superseded the knicker- booker type. They are at once smarter and more comfortable.
 
 suits have white bouses and colored pants. Yellow, lavender, ana green are the favorite colors for very little chaps. Bright blue and brown are much seen for little boys from four 10 eight years old.
 One smart combination consists of brown rep pants and natural pongee blouse with white pearl buttons and brown crepe de chine tie linotted in a careless four-in- hand.
 The sailor type of suit, with either knee length or long pants. is always smart and always popular. Of these it is noted that the elaborate insignia on the arm is not much used th1s spring. The necks of these sailor suits are laced up with silk cords of red or blue, or tied with a loosely knOtted four in hand.

 Nimble watched the Muley Cow as she struggled amid the hawthorns, trying to scramble out of the tangle. Can l help you, madam?' he asked her politely. But she never even thanked him.
 She was so upset that she neither wanted anybody to speak to her nor did she wish 10 speak to anybody else As for Billy Woodchuck, he looked | frightfully disappointed. He had eX- pected the Muley Cow to win the jumping contest And there she was,
