THE GOBLIN'S MITTENS
BY Jonn kendrick 6a,ss.

@NE night when Jackie Rabbit
4 was running through the woods
trying to find a bit Of green stuff
that might have poked out its top
in spite of the snow, he heard some
one crying.
Jackie ran to the spot from which
the sound seemed to come, and there
under bush he saw little Goblin
with the tears frozen on his little red
cheeks.
What is the matter?" asked Jackie.
"Oh, dear" sighed the Goblin, 81
have lost my red mittens that the
fairies gave me, and | cannot find
them, and l don't know what TO do
"Well, l will help you look for
them" said Jackie. 81 can't find any
green stuff for salad so l may as
well be running about helping you.'
Jackie Rabbit was a good hunter,
and it did not take him long to spy
the tiny mittens hanging on bush
near the ground.
They were very pretty little mittens
and Jackie thought they would look
well with his white coat. "The Goblin
won't mind" thought Jackie. Il will
Just slip them on and run back with
them"
But when he slipped them on his
paws very strange thing happened,

Only One Friend Left.

Marjorie was three years old when
her brother was born, and was jealous
when anybody paid any attention to
the newcomer, for she had received all
the attention before.
One day when her brother was about
two weeks old, dad was holding him
and calling him pet names which for.
merly belonged to Marjorie.
She sat in the corner for some time
and at last, when she could endure II

shipyard Employees
Ina Britain Accept
Reduction i'm Wages
War Bonus To Be Eliminated
by January L: Employers
Expect Increase i'm Orders
as Result of Lower Costs

Shipyard employees in Great Britain
have accepted under protest the pro-
posed elimination Of che war bonus
This action was taken, despite the
vote among the unions against any
reduction, because Of the knowledge OF
the union leaders that new ship orders
could not be obtained under present
costs. The 10 shilling a week war
bonus will be removed by gradual
steps to January /, after which wages
WILL range from 81 shillings pence
to AZ shillings 8 pence as the minimum
rates for various classes. In explain
ng their acceptance, the union lead
ers issued the following statement:
"In view of the large vote against
acceptance and the number of Austen
tions, the unions decided to make q
further effort to induce the ship
builders either to postpone or modify
the proposed further reductions in pay.
THE union representatives placed
before the employers the state that
the shipyard workers would be placed
in II the reduction were enforced,
leaving the skilled men in much worse
position than the semi and lesser
skilled men in any other industry.
Under those circumstances very
strong feeling prevails.
"The shipbuilding employers, In re-
ply, stated that they had considered
the matter from all standpo nts, and
they had decided that they could
neither postpone nor modify the pro-
posed reduction, believing that II is
in the best interests of the industry.
Under the special circumstances the
men are requested to remain at work y
II was added that no further meet.
ings are TO take place, and, so far as
the unions are concerned, the uues-
tion is regarded as at an end.

tfon between the existing wages and the

The employers propose TO take OF

2s 90 spread till the new year in case
OF the higher paid men, with smaller
and graded reductions In the case Of
the others, but with the stipulation
that no man shall be rated below 37s

imum rates of 22s Sd and 23s cd before
the war.
It will BE seen that only the men
rated at 52s Cd and those above that
rate are called upon Go surrender the
full los. All those below B2s Sd per
week retain some portion Of the war
bonus, the lowest paid men retaining
the whole los, plus the other advances.

empowers the men will still be in re-

COTTONTAIL RABBITS GOOD
AS GAME. BAD FOR ORCHARDS

In spite Of their good qualities as
food and game, cottontail rabbits in
many localities have become great
nuisance to orchards and farm crops
and control measures are necessary
to prevent their increase. In addi-
ton to the natural checks effected bv
diseases and predatory animal enc
mics, the usual ways of preventing
abnormal increases in their numbers.
according to the Biological Survey Of
the United States Department Of Ac-
riculture, are by hunting. trapping.
fencing or poisoning.
In many states east of the Mississ-
ippi rabbits are protected as game.
and the close season for them must
be observed. The Game Laws for
1922, issued by the United States De
partment of Agriculture as Farmers
Bulletin 1888, shows the require
ments in each state. In some states
rabbits may be taken with dog. trap.
or snare at any time. but must not
be shot during the close season. In
a number of states having a close
season for rabbits the laws permit
farmers and fruit growers to destroy
the animals to protect crops or trees
Poisoned bats can be used to keep
down the numbers of rabbits where
domestic animals can be prevented
from gaining access to the poison.
Shooting for sport and using for
meat, however, is preferable and will
usually hold the animals in check.
Rabbit-proof fences can be proftably
built when the area to be protected
is not too large. Various washes dis
tasteful to rabbits are recommended
for use on tree trunks, as well as diff
ferent mechanical contrivances to
keep the hungry animals from eatine
the bark or girdling the trees. Feed
ing rabbits in winter with winter
plunings of apple trees or corn. cab
bage. or turnips has been practice
successfully in some orchards, on the
theory that it is cheaper to feed them
than to fight them.

WARTS MAY RUN INTO CANCER
Watch. Them" Says DIR. Bloodgood;
Tells What TO Do.

DR.. Joseph c. Bloodgood, Professor
of Clinical Surgery at Johns Hopkins
Medical School, Baltimore, has writ
ten at the request of the American
Society for the Control of cancer, a
brief statement intended to inform
persons as to warning signs of this
disease. In making public the state
ment, the Society calls attention to
the fact that many apparent unim-
portant warts. moles and Jumps may
develop into cancer if not properly
treated and removed DR.. Bloodgood
writes:
at has been demonstrated by the
surgical experience Of the last ten to
twenty years that cancer can be
cured if taken in time. A cancer, it
has been found, never starts as can
GER. 1t always starts as something
that is not, in itself dangerous: a
lump. mole, a wart, a bruise, a
scmall ulcer. burn. Such things of
ten go away themselves and then no
harm is done. But if they remain a
long time, and sometime even rela-
lively short time, they may turn into
cancer and then they are dangerous
indeed.
"The safest plan is to have all such
things attended to at once. A good
doctor can determine whether they
are likely to turn into cancers or not
If not, simple remedies will usually
suffice to heal them. And if they are
of the dangerous variety, they can be
removed at once, and all risk of can
Ger prevented. Such an operation, in
these early stages, is quick and pain
less, and causes no disability. It can
be done, as a rule. under local anes-
thetic-cocaine, not ether or gas
Even if cancer has begun to devel-
OPP the life of the patient may be
saved if it is taken in time But not
if it is neglected until the late stages.
The surgical records show clearly the
Importance of early treatment. In
the early stages, even of undoubted
cancer the percentage of recoveries
is very high; in the last stages it IS
next to nothing.
THE surgeons can do nothing until
the patient comes to him. The later
the patient comes, the more difficult
his task-the worse the operation an
the smaller the chances of cure. l.
YOU have a lump, a mole, wart,
bruise that won't heal, or any ur
usual discharge. as a rule bloody, or 2
sore spot anywhere that resists ordi-
nary treatment, go to a doctor an
ask him about it. 1t will probably
turn out to be harmless, and he will
cure it quickly. And if it is some
thing worse-the warning that goes
before cancer-then going early will
save your life. A cancer does not
come unannounced You have warn
ing. But that warning must be
needed instantly"
