A Startling Interruption.
Danger turks where least suspected.
And threatens when It's least expected.

proud but fussy little mother
was Mrs. Grouse as she led her
twelve brown. downy babies down
the Lone. Little Path. Now and then
she turned aside to scratch among
the dead leaves, while the children
gathered around, eager to pick up
any food she might uncover. Peter
Rabbit hoped along with them. Mrs.
Grouse was an old, old friend of his
and it was so long since Peter had
seen her that he wanted to make
the most of this opportunity for
gossip. You see. Mrs. Grouse knew
most of what was going on in the
Green Forest.
So while she scratched away the
leaves to look for food for her big
family she told Peter all the news.
But, most of all. she liked to talk
about her children. That is the way
with mothers. And, though those
twelve youngsters were running
about this way and that way, and
never were still an instant. she
somehow managed to keep her eyes
SO they moved slowly along the
Lone Little Path, stopping often, for
the baby Grouse were too tiny to
travel far at a time. suddenly Mrs:
Grouse stopped in the midst Of
scratching over the leaves, and.
standing very straight, cooked her
head a trifie to one side to listen.
Peter had heard nothing, but when
he saw that Mrs. Grouse had heard
something. he sat up and listened.
He heard it then. Some one was
coming along the Lone Little Path.
but still some distance away. Who
could it be?
"Woof" 1t seemed to Peter that
his heart skipped a beat at that
sound. Then Peter heard the rust
ling of dry leaves as small feet
scampered about He knew then who
was coming. 1t was the Bear family.
It was Mother Bear and her cubs.
, Peter looked around hurriedly for a
hiding place that would be really
safe. He didn't think of Mrs. Grouse
or of her babies. His whole thought
was for himself.
Just a short distance to one side
was a hole in the ground under a

My Neighbor Says:

If parsley is eaten with onions or
a salad. the odor of the onion will not
affect the breath.
To preserve lemons for a length of
time, bury them in a box of sawdust.
They will keep fresh for several
months.
In cleaning raisins, place them in a
clean cloth, sprinkle them with -four
and shake well. You will find that
this will clean them and at the same
time will remove all the stalks.
Try using a little vinegar instead
Of water to moisten stove polish.
You will find that you will get a
brilliant polish with half the usual
amount of trouble.
Never use a cleansing powder or
strong soap to wash paint which is
enameled. A solution made from pure
white soap and warm water is much
the best thing to use, and will not
harm the enamel.
To wash bamboo furniture don't
use soap. Instead, scrub with cold
water to which a little salt has been
added. Rinse quickly with cold
water and dry in the open air as soon
as possible. The floor mating of
bamboo can be cleaned in exactly the
same way, but this should be hung
over a clothes line and allowed to
dry before being relaid.

inadvertently brush against one end
of the swing and start it twisting
with a sort of corkscreW, Seasick
motion? There's only one thing to
do then, sit up straight. put your
feet on the floor, stop the swing en-
tfrely, and then lie cautiously down
again to avoid starting one end or
the other to swaying.
And now along comes a porch swing e
that can swing in one direction only
back and forth, not endwise also. 1t
is called a glider, and it doesn't hang
from the ceiling at all, nor even from
an iron framework erected from the
ground. It's base rests solidly on the
floor. immovable. and the big, comfort
able couch inside the two fixed ends
glides back and forth along a groove
that permits no sidewise motion
whatever. No wobbly twisting or
dlzzying screw movement, but a
steady, even gliding that is as restful
as it is easy.
When lying down in this couch
swing. one can start or stop the glid-
ing motion by mere touch on the
stationary end at head or foot. To
my mind, 1t is A great Improvement
on the old free-hanging swing that
moved in all directions at once.

Regret and Self Condemnation

Against thee. thee only, have 1
sinned-Psalm li.4.
There are two strange and power
full judgments which form. themselves
in our minds, from thine to time,
whether we will or no.
The first is the judgment of regret.
"I am sorry that such and such
a thing has been done. wish that L
had acted differently. I wish that so
and so had not done this"
1t is silent confession that some
things are which had better not be,
and which need not have been II we
and our fellow men were only little
more wise and true and faithful.
The second is the judgment of con-
demnation on ourselves or on. others.
We can't help feeling down on"
some things because they are base
and mean and cruel and unjust.
We despise them because we know
we are responsible for them.
We can't be perfect. but at least we
need not have been as bad as that.
We are to blame and we know. 1T
because the voice of God speaking in
our conscience utters the judgment OF
condemnation.
To be deaf to this is to be a dead
soul.

1t didn't take Peter but a moment

stopped and sat up to see what would

he had left her in the middle of the

Astringents.

Astringents are slightly drying
preparations which draw up the pores
of the skin and the muscles that age
or illness has let sag and droop.
Something astringent should be used
every day by everyone, even when
the skin is young and perfect, since
1t is always easier to prevent trou-
BILE than to cure it. Cold water Is the
best, either plain or slightly salty,
and it should. like every astringent
be used after the complexion has
been thoroughly cleansed.
But specially strong astringents
will be needed for special purposes
for deep wrinkles, for instance. Here

have come to die, is casting our lot
with other lives-by marriage or
some generous service to humanity.
That's why love pays, no matter

RACIAL oRiGIN-EnsIlsh.
SOURCE--A given name.


Here is a group of family names
which belongs to that primary clas-
sification of those derived from given
names. The origin, however. Is not
obvious for two reasons. In the first
place, the given name from which
they are derived is no longer a COM
mon one. though it was quite popular
In the middle ages. In the second
place a considerable change in SPELL
ing has helped to conceal the source.
The given name is Gideon.
Courage, of course. was regarded as
the prime virtue in the rather tumul-
tuous period in which family names
began to form, and 1t was quite logi-
cal that those given names in the
Old Testament which We're associa ted
with this virtue became very popular
I'm England. as elsewhere.
The formation of these family
names was not at first conscious
process. A man would be referred to
as Ralph Gideon's son" to distinguish
him from other Ralphs in the COM
munity. Perhaps his son would be
known as Gideon. Ralph's son.
while the third generation would de
velop another Ralph, Gideon's son."
perhaps i'm this generation to lose its
purely descriptive meaning and be
adopted as a regular family name to
be passed on to succeeding genera
tions.
Natural changes in spelling are re-
sponsible for the variations Of today,
the forms Geddes and Getty being

strong and should be spread over the
face with the finger tips after the
skin has been rubbed with cleansing
cream and wiped dry. After 80 min
utes. preferably spent lying down
with the face relaxed, a thorough
massage with flesh building cream
should follow. And to end it most
effectively a piece of ice should be
rubbed over the face after the second
cream has been wiped off.
This is also good for blackheads
and coarse pores and the scars left
by pimples. For blackheads, the face
should be steamed five minutes before
the cleansing cream is used.

paign, it is argued that freeing presI-
dents of the worry and the strain,
the politics and the health-shatter-
ing campaigning of a reelection,
will leave them free to pay more at
tention to their real work-and their
health.
Majority I'm Favor
Will the change be made? At least
the effort will be made, for Senator
William j. Harris, who introduced
the joint resolution in the last ccn-
gress, will bring it up again.
Il plan to offer this same amend
ment in the sixty-eighth congress
and urge action before the Senate
Judiciary Committee" said Harris.
81 believe my proposal would re-
move the chief executive from the
present field of politics in campaign
ing for r~e-election; it would make
his tenure certain; it might save his
health and prevent a breakdown un-
der the strain of work.
"There is nothing new in the
proposition as it has been discussed
for many years. and many times
legislation has been offered in con-
gress."
On the basis of the 1873 votes cast
in the News poll, it is apparent that
the majority in favor is almost large
enough for the two-thirds vote nee
| essary to amend the constitution. A
| typical cross-section of congress is
