THE MARKED BIRD.
MIR. WOODPECKER is a marked
Nl bird, as you all know who have

KHR. WOODPECKER is a marked
Nl bird. as you all know who have
seen him, for the red spot on the
back Of his head is plainly seen when
he is pecking away at tree, or even
If half hidden by leaves the red spot
Is pretty sure to be seen and to re-
veal his working place, even when the
sound cannot be located. Mrs. Wood
pecker does not wear this red spot,
for she Is the one who caused her
mate to be so marked, and why, do
you suppose?
Listen and ] will tell you what is
said about it In Birdland, for there is
always little bird, you know, that
gives away secrets and that is how
this one was learned.
Long, long ago certain Mrs. Wood
-pecker, so the story goes, had great
deal Of trouble with her husband be-
cause he went away from home early
and stayed late and never brought
anything home to help support the
birdlings Mrs. Woodpecker pleaded
and peeped at this all In vain. Mr..
Woodpecker declared he could not
find enough insects for himself, let
alone bringing some home.
Little Mrs. Woodpecker tried to
watch her mate and flew after him

:||kR&ERE!

and away before she could get near.
So one day Mrs. Woodpecker be-
came very desperate and asked the
COLLINS to help her. II can't get him
to bring home a thing for the chill
dren to eat" she said, "and they eat
so much am just worn out. Do tell
me what to do If could follow him
and catch him at work then should
be certain he finds plenty of food, but
l cannot prove that he does not, for
can never surprise him.
The little goblin was sitting on a
rock, out of which he had just jumped,
and, laying a finger on one side Of
his nose he thought minute. Il have
it, Mrs. Woodpecker," he said, jump
ing up. III will get the fairies to let
you have some of the red like my cap.
You can paint his head red some night
when he Is asleep and with red cap
like mine you can see him anywhere
in the forest"
Mrs. Woodpecker went home with
light heart and that night she met the
goblin, who had an acorn cupful Of
red paint for her. But the rest was
not SO easy, for when she flew home
with the paint and tried to paint her
husbands head while he slept he kept
waking up and asking, "Who Is
tickling the top of my head" and
poor little Mrs. Woodpecker could not
mark her mate.
But the next morning, just as he
was flying away, Mrs. Woodpecker
was so upset she lost her temper and
after him she threw the paint brush,
which struck the back of her hus-
bands head and left a spot Of red
paint.
or course he did not know about
the paint and thought his wife was
cross, but there II was; and then Mrs.
Woodpecker followed and caught her
lazy husband, for now that she could
see him some distance away, she took
good care that he should not see her
until she was beside him.
Il was no use to deny it now, for
she saw with her own eyes that there
were plenty Of insects and he had to
do his part after that toward support
ing the family.
And that is the reason that Mr..
WOodpecker wears a red spot on the
back Of his head and his wife does not.
so the little bird from Birdland told
the story

beautiful as the most costly dollhouse
Movers and. with thought In arrange
ment, may be even more artistic.
In many homes the holiday feast
would not be properly started without
oysters on the half shell, or served In
block Of ice. A lemon shell filed
with relish or cocktail sauce may ac-
company the dish of oysters.
The turkey Is the main dish, of
course, and all the meal centers
around It, If oysters are not served
for the first course they may be used
as a stuffing, otherwise any desired
stuffing or forcemeat may be used.
Chestnuts are especially good and,
usually, well liked.
Cranberry sauce, or nodded cranber-
ries, are usually served with the tur-
key. as they are especially good for
biliousness.
Cranberry Jelly.-Put through the
meat chopper, after washing and pick
ing over the berries; add one cupful
of water 10 each quart of berries, and
cook slowly. When the berries are
nearly cooked, add sugar to taste,
then cook slowly until thick. 1t takes
less sugar to sweeten the berries when
partly cooked. The fruit may be put
through sieve or not, as desired.
Cream of Celery Soup.-This is a
good soup to precede the turkey, If a
soup is desired. Chop two cupfuls OF
the coarse stalks of celery and cook in
small amount of water until well
cooked. Put through a sieve.s using all
the liquid In which the celery was
cooked. Scald one quart of milk,
thicken with one tablespoonful each of
-four and butter, cooked together; add
with the celery PURGE; season with
salt, white pepper and teaspoonful
Of onion juice, or the grated onion may
be used. Cook until smooth. Just be-
fore serving, add a well beaten egg,
and serve in hot cups with croutons.

President Meets
Party Leaders At
Executive Dinner
IRepubIican A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Jan. z. - As on
several previous occasions, President
Harding tonight summoned to a din
ner table conference on administra-
tion policies and legislation, con-
eressional leaders and representa-
tiyes of the administrative branches
of the government. In the party
were five senator's, seven represen-
tatives, Attorney General Daugherty,
Secretary Weeks and Chairman John
r. Adams of the Republican nation
al committee. The program followed
was identical with that at other
White House dinners at which the
general policies ow the administra-
tion have been discussed.
Earlv indications were that the
tariff particularly with reference to
President Harding's recommended
tions for flexible schedules and rates
which can be altered by executive
order to meet exigencies, brought
about by depreciation of foreign
currency was one of the chief topics.
The soldier bonus also came up for
serious discussion. President Har-
ding having previously told the legis-
latiye leaders that the administration
nust find new sources of revenue to
meet the expenditure before such a
measure could be put into effect.
The bill for the refunding of the
foreign debt and the prospects of its
early passage also was matter foi
| the consideration of the guests but
