The terms used in the buying and
selling of hosiery are often not very

definite factors of stocking value

what he means?
Gauge is a word used to express the
ffneness Of hosiery, and it means the
number Of meSheS or stitches to the
inch. For instance, 39-Guage stock
ing would have 80 me ,hes to the
inch, while 49-gauge would have 40
meSheS to the inch. and would there

Dip-dyed means hosiery that is dyed

Taking Things.

There is a time in the life Of every
child when he takes things. Indeed.
there are two phases of his growth
where this tendency arises. The first
one scarcely troubles us because the
child is too young to take things in
the sense of acquiring property. He
takes them to study them, learn what
! they are. then to cast them aside,
forgotten and of no further value 10
him. That sort of taking does not
trouble US much because it is so
easily corrected. 1t is the later. more
reasoned taking that causes US
anxiety.
1 Somewhere during the period of
adolescence the child desires more
than his guardians think wise for him
to have, or what they are unable to
provide. His desires are stronger
from his inhibitions-that is. the
thought of taking is stronger than the
thought of not taking and the strong
er idea always wins.
1t is clear. then. that the child is
weak and needs strengthening. If
punishment strengthened him
would say punish him, but the sort
of punishment usually meted out to
the pilferinS child does not strengthen
his weakness. That can be done only
by adding to his spiritual powers, the
Youngest and weakest of human quail
tiles. That means you and l have
not had sufficient of that sort of
strength to pass it on in full power
TO our children. Which makes US
thoughtful.
What this child needs is education
One teaches him that it is not right
to take what is not ones own and
then teaches the habit of seeing and
controlling the desire to possess.
Flowers are to be looked at and
loved, a few gathered if permission
is given, but the great part of them
left to be looked at and left where
they are. Look at them and keep
hands off them. Grow your own if
you wish to gather them"
AS the child grows older. money
| becomes a temptation. He does not
understand that money is the symbol
of labor rewarded. He does not know
labor. he does not understand ma

now what had happened

He has got to put them up where
they'll dry. That means that he can't

would acorns and nuts. They would
spoil hidden away that way, and he
knows it. He must have put them up
in another tree somewhere, and all l
have to do is look around until | find
that tree. That ought not to be a
very difficult thing to do"
SO Buster started off, looking up in
all the trees for mushrooms. BY and

he had his head tipped up so much
that it made his neck ache. And he
discovered that the Green Forest had
a great many trees. He hadn't real
lied how many trees there We're in the
Green Forest. There were big trees
and little trees and middle-sized trees
Buster began to doubt that it would

fore he thought of it again. The
mushroom tree was. YOU know. tree
in which Chatterer the Red Squirrel
was storing up mushrooms to dry
that he might have them in the Win

quite by accident. and he had made
up his mind that he would have one
grand feast of mushrooms the last
thing before he went to sleep for the
Winter. He felt quite sure that he
would find those mushrooms right

He knew that Chatterer would not eat
them until Winter. They were to be
a part of Chatterer's Winter food

The first time that Buster happened
to be over near where that tree was
growing, he of course thought of it.

he. by this time Chatterer ought to

Buster Shuffled along through the

he came to it he sat up and looked up
into it, all the time licking his lips.
Then he stopped licking his lips
Then he blinked his little eyes. You

big fellow. Then he rubbed his little
eyes. He rubbed them two or three
times. Something was wrong. Either

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Virgo.

The adverse planetary aspects that
prevail today will continue in un-
abated form until noon tomorrow
Then they change and become dis
tinctly favorable. although more be-
nign than stimulating. Under these
conditions nothing of a very ener-
getic character should be essayed
during the early part of the day, and
the suggestion as to poise and self
restraint contained in todays horo-
scope holds good. In the afternoon.
it would be advisable TO plan and
deliberate, as the emotions needed for
action are conspicuous by their alb
Sence. The influences can be consid-
cred favorable for all social and fam
lily entertainment, as there promises
to be a spirit of harmony and CO.
operation.
A child born tomorrow will be
blessed with a rugged constitution
and Will always be able to withstand
any physical attacks with which it
may be threatened. The signs denote
that it may be subject more to ac-
cident than to illness. A little care,
however, is all that is needed to
offset this danger. In disposition and
temperament it will be, as a result of
it's physical development, rather over
bearing and rather disposed TO ride
roughshod over the wishes and de-
sires Of others, 1t viii be very loyal
to those whom it likes, but very bit
ter to those who do not happen to be
in its good graces, or who incur it's
ill-will. It will prefer play to study,
never lacking in courage and capable
of audacity.
If tomorrow is your birthday. your
mind is very alert, your judgment
keen and all your acts are ruled by
honest intention. AS a natural CON
sequence, everything that you do is
done thoroughly and conscientiously.
as, no matter how small or insignifi-
cant the task intrusted to you may
be, you always give it the best that
is in you.
You are not lacking in resource
fulness and are quick to seize oppor-
tunities, although slow in creating
them. Your character can be an
alyzed as firm and strong and you
possess great determination and reso-
luteness.
In your home life you are an in
dulgent parent-too much so for the
well-being of those that are indulged
partner and loving mate.
Well known persons born on this
date are: William S. Macy, artist
Henry c. Bowen, merchant and ed
itor; James Pollock, Governor of

ling Price. soldier and Governor of

tor and Judge; Isaac Roberdeau, en-
gineer.
