TeIItaIe Footprints.
Restless feet to mischief lead.

Then leave their prints to prove the deed
Farmer Browns Boy.
Something was wrong around
Farmer Browns sugar camp. Yes,
sir. something was very wrong.
Farmer Browns Boy, going around
TO collect the sap from the pals hung
three pals on the ground Others
didn't have as much sap in them as
he thought they should have had All
these pals were the ones that were
farthest from the little sugar house
The Good-natured, freckled face of
Farmer Browns Boy wore a frown-
"I would like to know what has been
going on here" said he. "It looks as
if some one has been meddIing with
these pals out of pure mischief. 1t
looks as if some one has a mean dis
position, but I don't know Of any one
who would do such a thing. I know
there are a lot of mean people in the
world, but I don't know of any one
around here mean enough to do any
thing of this kind"
Presently he came to a pail that
was badly dented. 1t looked as if it
had been kicked around and banged
against the trees. Farmer Browns
Boy hurried to finish collecting the
sap, and then went back to where
the sap pals had been meddled with.
There he began a careful search for
signs of the mischief maker. Right
around there the snow had melted,
leaving bare ground. But the ground
was still frozen and covered with a
carpet of brown, dead leaves. In
places these leaves had been turned
: up as if by some one walking about.
But nowhere could he find a foot
print. There was no place soft
enough to take a footprint.
Whoever did this had to walk
here" muttered Farmer Browns Boy
mo one could get here without walk
ing through the snow somewhere
F., The thing. for me- to do is TO look In
the snow for tracks,
So he wasted no more time in the
bare, open places, but began to hunt
, in the sheltered places where the
snow had not melted. "Ha, thought
Fight in front of him were footprints
in the snow. They looked almost like
the footprints of a boy, walking bare
footed, but having very long, pointed
tos nails. They were the footprints
of bear. There wasn't any doubt
about it.
Farmer Browns Boy was interested
right away. He studied those foot
prints. They were not the footprints
of Buster Bear. They were too small.
They were not the footprints of one
of Buster Bears twins, who two years
before had been trapped in the sugar
house. Those twins must be big

Farmer Browns Boy began to fol-

Scarf as Collar on Wrap or Frock

Color Symbolism.

Color, like music, speaks a univer-
sal language.
RI you buy a blue hat, you say one
hing; if you buy red one, you say
quite another. For psychologists tell
Us that every thought of the mind
has its appropriate tint, and that is
why certain color symbols have come
down to US unchanged through the
ages. Poets, too, particularly Shake
Fpeare, supreme of the painter
poets" are appFeciatiye of the color
language. So, whether YOU consider
The colorS you choose from the po-
etic, artistic or psychological point of
view, you will be Interested to know
something of their symbolism when
YOU go a-Shopping.
The analogy of color is often drawn
40 the seasons of the year and the
time of day or night--aS, for instance,
back, by analogy to might and dark
ness, is the symbol of grief and
death. Black is melancholy and sober
but of great strength. No color has so
much power 10 impress as black.
Gray, the color of dying fall. de-
notes fear; and gren. through physi

If a man really cares for a woman,
it is said that he loves to see her in
white. Why? Because, in the color

La Toilette status firmly in the minds
of the voters the Socialist label will
be used This carries disadvantages
recognized by the practical politi-
clans, including those who are pro-
testing loudest on behalf of Senator
La Toilette.
May Deter BOIting
Whatever Senator La Toilette may
be cLaSSed S in other States, here in
California he is to be Socialist. The
effect in other States on the liberal
voter may be to turn wavering votes
back to Davis and Coolidge. So long
as the Wisconsin leader appeared as
progressive" or 'independent Re
publican" many voters have felt they
were not really doing much more
than large number of voters did in
1912. But socialism is looked upon
quite generally in America as involv-
ing radical departures in the Ameri-
can economic system, and it will be
interesting to see whether in Cali
fornia Senator La Toilette will feel
compelled to renounce some of the
tenets of the very party which car
ries him under its emblem on the
ballot.
Speaking of what happened in 1912
reminds the disinterested observer
that California had a controversy then
whereby the Taft electors were at the
mercy of the Roosevelt Progressive
Republicans. with Hiram johnson
leading the latter forces Today Sen
ator Johnson breaks his long silence
on national politics since his iIl-fated
primary campaign to denounce the
Supreme Court decision. The Pro-
gresSives are getting a taste of the
medicine they administered II years
ago.
Between the lines of the johnson
statement may be read his more or
less suppressed hostility TO Coolidge
and his friendship for the La Toilette
cause. Mr.. johnson says:
JOHNSON Scores Decision.
Here it would appear from all the
opinions was "A case where either of
the two decisions might be made
one following the letter of the law
which does grievous wrong. and the
other following the spirit of the law
which would enable a large body of
citizens to exercise fundamental
right. The letter of the law with it's
resulting wrong was followed; the
spirit rejected. This, | say. would
appear from a reading of the opinions
but | do not think the law itself ad=
mits of two conclusions. The decision,
in my opinion. is unjustified by the
law, contrary 10 public policy and of
most harmful consequences. 1t is
decisions such as this that under
mine public confidence in the courts"
So far as fundamental rights are
concerned, the fact remains that the
voters of California can mark their
ballots for La Toilette by writing
names of electors or choosing the
Socialist electors. What has happen
