LISTEN, WORLD!
By ELSIE ROBINSON.

There are times when 1 have no

common as potato bugs in June. I

horizon has the measles. And then
I dig down into the depths Of the

how I feel. You've felt the same way
even If you haven't printed your
feelings in a newspaper.
But the other day -! They left
Faisi, in the Solomon Islands. on
April rs, 1922, with a cargo of copra
for San Francisco. It was one of
those little schooners, the William H.
Smith. that plies between the South
seas and the coast. A rough little
tub with scant accommodations and
no motive power except her own
patched sails. Eleven men on board,
the captain. And the cap

and a babe that was born when they
reached the home port.
Now, 1t takes fifty days with a fair
wind to make that trip. There was

Eleven men on a little ship
and q wife with a dream in her heart
The wind blew strong and
the wind blew true, and then the
wind didn't blow at all And hell
came down on that little ship, in the
ring of the hot South seas. For the

Day after day they lay becalmed.
The Good grew less and less. And
then came something worse than
hunger pains to gnaw at the hearts of
those men. Up from the midst of
that simmering death there rose a
little cry. The baby had been born.
You can ration q man on hardtack
and salt horse, but you can't ration
q weak new mother like that, and
without some food the baby dies. I
suppose they were Just rough sailor
men in that crew-they didn't sign
on as heroes-but they took the food
that they should have shared each by
each and they gave it all to the wom-
an SO the baby wouldn't die. And they
lived on oopra until they were too
weak to gnaw the dried rinds any
moro.
They found them at last before the
end had come. They couldn't crawl
across the blistered deck even far
enough to reach the store of food.
But the baby was alive. That's all.

way TO facilitate the rapid setting of
the table and to avoid the many little
trips back and forth between the side
board, the buffers pantry and the
dining table. She has a largo round
tray-a light wicker one, such as the
Japanese make so attractively-and
upon this tray are assembled, after
each meal, the articles to be used in
setting the table for the next repast.
For example, at night this tray has
arranged upon it the knives, forks,
spoons, napkins, cups and saucers,
glasses for water, salt pepper, sirup
pitcher. sugar bowl and the tile for
the coffee pot. If carefully piled up,
all these things can be gotten within
tho generous circumference of the
tray. It is placed upon the broad
shelf in the buffers pantry and in the
morning is lifted and carried into the
dining room, where it Is placed on a
small service table. When the break
fast doilies have been ladi, all she
has to do Is to unload her tray, get
the cream pitcher from the refriger-
ator and go back and give her entire
attention to her cookery.
After breakfast her table-setting
tray is filled with the service for
luncheon or dinner. The necessary in
dividual service for each place Is ar
ranged on the tray, fresh napkins
added, bread and butter plates made
ready for the butter and small dishes
laid out for the accompanying jellies
or pickles. ~On separate small tray
are placed the dessert dishes, large
serving spoon cr pie knife and the
after-dinner coffee service.

Clam Chowder.

Clam C0OWQeT.
Try out salt pork. Take out the
scraps. Cut up onions and fry them
in the pork fat until they are a
golden brown. Open clans and save
all the clam water. Most chefs steam
the CLAIMS first because they are so
much easier to handle, but If you
want the real flavor you want to shell
the clans, wash the meat over care
fully and let the clam water settle
and dip it out instead of pouring 1t
into your kettle so as to leave out
the sand.)
Add to the onions enough hot water
to cover them. put in clam wafer ana
the bellies of the clans. Cook until
the bellies of the clans have prac-
tically disappeared (about two hours,. j.
Then add whatever more hot water Is
necessary, add the rest OF your clam
meat. after having first cut of the
black end of the head. and run the
meat through the coarsest cutting
disk of your meat grinder.
Cook until clans are very neariy
done and then add your sliced white
potato. Cook again until the potatoes
are done. Then add whatever milk
you put in and let it come to boil.
Put into the chowder what we call
Boston crackers. They are SNAPPED
like a water cracker. only they are
soft. Split them in halves. These
will soften up Immediately and you
can then serve your chowder.
Do not use any flour for thickening.
If the chowder is prepared and the
bellies of the clans cooked as above
this will make the broth thicken up

Sammy Jay is right" said he to

lew minutes to run over and get back
again. / guess i am smart enough
to keep out of sight. I can't afford 10
De laughed at and Sammy Jay will
probably tell everybody that i don't
know what a rooster and hens look
like. OF course. he wouldn't advise
ger"
That shows how little the young
Fox knew about Sammy Jay Had he
really known Sammy he would have
suspected right away that Sammy
was planning to get him into trouble.
Tor there is nothing that Sammy Jay
delights in moro than in making
trouble for other people.
You can steal along close to the
stone wall along the Old Orchard
without much danger of being seen
That will take you almost up to that
chance and run over for a look into
that henyard and get back again
without being seen," said Sammy.
The young Fox saw that there were
bushes growing along the old stone
wall and that if he were careful he
bushes: I'll do it,"said he. Yes.
That's they way to talk" said
Sammy Jay. Il said to myself when
1 first saw you that here is a young
Fox that will get on in the world. /
knew I was right"
Once more the young Fox felt nat
tered. He tried to look important.
Then CAREFULLY he crept out from the
edge of the Green Forest over to the
old stone 0xall along the edge of the
Old Orchard and began to creep
along through the bushes. Every two
| or three steps he would stop to look
and listen Then he would move on
again. He saw nothing and heard
nothing to suggest danger and little
| by little the fear which he had felt
at first left him. The nearer he got
to Farmer Browns henyard the
jSyreater became his curiosity He was
| glad he had met Sammy Jay. But for
| Sammy he wouldn't have thought of
| doing this thing.
AS for Sammy Jay, that blue-coated
rascal chuckled inside as he flew over
| to a tree in the Old Orchard where
+ he could see all that might happen.
He didn't know that anything would
happen, but he had hopes. Yes. sir:

Astrology Begins at Home!

n ERR1AM Lindsay had arisen

from an almost sleepless
night; she found it decidedly dis

breakfast in a dusty kitchen. In the
morning light the neglected Pumpkin
Shell looked even dingier and dirtier
than it had the evening previous.
The dining room table was still lit
tered with the mass Of papers and
letters of Johns, through which they
had searched In vain the evening
previous for any clue that might help
them in finding him.
Merriam managed. before she heard
her father and Ralph Beecher stir
ring. to get the side porch into some
spread a breakfast table there. A
brave little figure in brown-checked
gingham, she sang out pleasant
good morning to them both, but she
looked wan with fatigue and the cor
ners of her mouth dropped piteous!y.
fast she sat with her father and their
new-found friend. again trying to slit
some helpful thing from that mass of
papers. But shortly before noon

1t was a relief to have them gone,
and to see the babies settled down to
their sand pile: Tired as as sne ne was was,
hard physical work awaiting her. She
decided that she would begin at the
top of the house and work down.
The modest Pumpkin Shell did not
boast a guestroom. She herself had
slept on a cot in the nursery the
night previous. giving Johns room to
Young Beecher and her own room to
her father. She began valiantly at
her task. of sweeping Johns room:
But she found Il rough going. Every
bit of furniture that she touched.
every pillow that she lifted: was his.
Halfway through her task she let
the broom fall with a clatter and fed
to the top of the stairs. where she sat
down Imply to lean her head against
the balustxade and close her eyes.
Il can't stand it to stay in Johns

She sat there for long time. The
kitchen door banged. but she did not

came aware of a putting, wheeling
