The Master Man
By sOPRIB IRENE LOEB


 U is Master who curbs his anger
 When anger would act like a bullet that cannot be recalled. He is strong who waits until the moft- ing after To disagree with his friend, Who fights his foe but fairly And never fails his friend. de is big who harbors no petty malice When others have done him wrong, For the dawn of better day. He is powerful who takes no advantage of the weak No matter how it may profit him. Who stoops to laugh with little eAil- For the spirit of youth has never left He is Master who seeks not to delve too In the pot of the worId's gold. But rather looks for the golden grain of Things beautiful and spiritual. Not too much taken up With the material things of body, But who seeks solAce for his soul. Who gives ear to the lowly and the struggling.
 He tS great who does not try to be But gives of himself and thus brinxs an unto himself. He is big who does not lose sight of lit. tie things,
 Looks for the good in his friends and ovetlooks the faults. And one can be master man Only when he becomes master of him. self! By cultivating the spirit of tolerance So that no one can put hate into his heart
 And in this way the great deeds of the world have been done.

Home Asaini Home. Asaini Happy am Il
 Hsd I but wings most surely would c 0 SANG BOBBY COON as he wan. V ,dered about in the Green Forest after leaving Farmer Browns Boy. Al least he meant it for singing. Of course l it wasn't real singing, for Bobby Coon can no more sing than he can fly. But 1t did very well to express his happiness and that; was all it was intended to do. Bobby was happy. He was very happy indeed. He couldn't remember ever having been quite so happy. You see he never before had understood fully what freedom means. No one can fully understande what wonderful and blessed thing is freedom until he has lost it and then got it again.
 Bobby took long breathes and sniff fed and sniffed and sniffed and sniff ed the sweet smells of early spring. The Green Forest was full of them and never had they seemed so good to Bobby. He climbed a tree for nothing under the sun but to know what it felt like to climb once more. Then he climbed back down to earth again and went to polk ing around. He rolled over and over for sheer joy. Finally he brushed himself off, climbed up to an old stump and sat down to think things over.
 "Of course" said he to himself, 'the first thing for me to do is to find a new house. I don't have to have it right away, because there are plenty of places in which I can curl up for a nap, but 1t is more convenient and much more respectable to have house. People who sleep anywhere and have no homes are never much thought of by their friends and neighbors.. Without a home can have no self.respect. There is a certain old hollow tree I always did like the looks of. Unc' Bill ly Possum used to live there, but may be he has moved. Anyway he may be out, and if he is he will be smarter than think he is to get me out once I'm inside. I believe I'll look up that tree right away"
 Bobby scrambled down from the stump and started down the Lone Lit tie Path. After little while he turned off the Lone Little Path into a hol- low and presently came to the tree he had in mind. It was straight and tall

his new home. He was hsif way up when | sharp voice spoke. ss
 Haven't you made mistake, Brer Coon! r said the voice. This isn't your houseD
 Bobby stopped and looked up. Unc' Billy Possum was grinnffig down at him from his doorway. Bobby srinned back. Tt occurred to mo that you might like to move, and as I'm looking for house, think this one will suit me very well.' said he and grinned again. for he knew that Inc Billy would understand just what he meant. Before Unc' Billy could say a word another sharp face appeared beside his and a voice still sharper than his own said What's that no count coon do- ing in our tree? Whats this talk An har about moving?. Isn't anybody eo- ing to move that AR knows of"
 Bobby had forgotten all about old Mrs. Possum, and now as he saw that it was two against one he suddenly changed his mind.
 Excuse me- he said. T guess I've got the wrong house"

the Green Forest, and don't think Unc' Billy will care to fight me. I''m bigger and considerable stronger than he, 90 if he's there I guess I'll invite him to move out"
 Now, of course, this wasn't at all right of Bobby Coon, but it is the way things are done in the Green Forest. and the people who live there are used to 1t. The strong take what they want if, they can get 1t, and Bobby knew that Unc' Billy Possum would treat Happy Jack Squirrel the same way if he hap pened to want Happy Jacks house. So he climbed up the tree quite sure that this was the house he would take for

BODY CONsTANTLY MEI,TrNC

Five minutes from now, unless you eat or drink in the mean time, you will weigh less than you do now. In fact. you will weigh less a minute from now, because the body is constantly losing weight by evaporation and by loss of carbon in breathing.
 Powerful but exceedingly delicate scales, devised recently by the CarneFie institution, are now being used to meas ure the sum of these losses, says Pop. ular Science Monthly. and numerous interesting facts have been revealed by the scales. The more clothing a person wears, the more rapidly he loses weight, because of increased precipitation. A football player was shown to lose IA pounds in a game lasting 70 minutes. A marathon runner lost eight and one. half pounds in a three-hour race.
 Ordinary men, performing no exer- tion, but merely sitting in chair suv. pended from the scales, have lost weight so rapidly that small weights had 10 be added constantly to keep the bal ance even.

HoRTUNATE indeed is the H young girl of today who has
 such a variety of delightful frocks and wraps to choose from. It seems as if all the most important signed with her particularly in view. The girl of from 12 to 16, who was formerly such q problem to dress simply and becomingly, has indeed come into her own. Since simplic- ity is the modern watchword it is not hard to find clothes for all hours that are exactly suited to her needs. The scarf, collar, short capes and straight-line little dresses are youth itself.
 The combination of navy blue serge with plaid or Roman striped silk is most becoming to the young girl and one that is constantly seen. A smart little street or school frock of blue has collar and cuffs trimmed with plaid silk, while the front of the dress is opened from neck to hem to show a pleated godet. Spring coats of blue have WI06 SC4rI-iIk0 CoilSFs tuat 6Ee AHc0 with Roman striped silk.
 The cape is seen on dresses as we'll as coats and is most attrac- tive feature of the mode. Short flaring eapes and capes that appear only as sleeves are particularly adapted to the growing girl, as their tendency is to disguise and flatter. The coat pictured is an excellent example, of this. It is made of . soft overplaid of orange. The back and cape sleeves are cut in one. Large bone buttons fastep the coat and also the cape to the sleeves.
