out on the ice and once more looked
around everywhere for signs OF some
one who might have stolen that big
fsh. But not a sign could he find.
A little way off on the ice was a
little heap OF snow. At least the
young Otter thought It was "a heap
Of snow. He looked at It carelessly
two or three times. But he didn't
go over to II. He wasn't interested
in heaps OF snow. The only thing of
interest to him just then was what
had become OF that fish. 1t was very
mysterious. He didn't like a mystery.
His uneasiness increased. So after
a while he once more swan away.
He wanted to ask his father or his
mother what could have become of
that fish, but he didn't. He was
afraid he would be laughed at. He
was afraid that they wouldn't believe
he had caught it any more than his
sister believed It.
Now hardly had that young otter
disappeared when what he had taken
for little heap of snow disappeared
too. 1t disappeared without a sound.
You see, IL was alive. 1t really
wasn't a heap Of snow at all. II
the young Otter had seen II go he
might possibly have guessed what
had become of his big Ash. But he
didn't see 1t go, and the next time
he visited that place he didn't even
notice that that little white heap
was no longer there.

What Today Means to You
By MARY BLAKE.
Capricorn.

The influences prevailing up to
noon indicate a disposition to ex
tremes, or sudden conclusions. or
presage unexpected changes. Great
care must be exercised to be moderate
in thought, speech and action, not
giving expression to impulsiye ideas,
or acting without due deliberation.
Later on in the day, the planetary as
poets improve to marked degree,
and clearly favor all lines of endeav-
or, but especially those related to
commercial enterprises or social
functions. This seems to be an ideal
opportunity for pushing to the ut
most any project that has hitherto
engaged your interest, but has not.
possibly benefited by your energies.
A child born today will be very vi
vacious, and although 1t will not en-
tirely escape the ailments of infancy,
they will not, in any serious man
ner. affect its physical development.
In character. it will be very deter
mined and positive, sometimes stub
born and sometimes impulsive. 1t
will also be subject to moods but will
not give way to them for any long
time. 1t will be both capable and
energetic and like to lead. 1t will
also be demonstrative and very af-
fectionate, and its nature will demand
If today is your birthday, you are
original in almost everything you do,
and this faculty should be cultivated,
as 1t will bring good results in abun-
dance. If you have children, they
will show a bent for mechanics or
for art. If you take care of your
naturally strong and robust physique,
you will escape all serious illnesses.
You, owing to your originality,
possess very strong and an attrac-
tive personality and your friends are
legion. The only reason that your
success has not been commensurate
with your ability is the fear you have
Of putting some of your ideas into
execution. Once your mind has con-
ceived a plan, and you are satisfied

Still Wear Hats Down Over Brow
by MARY MARSHALL,

1t really is a wonder that accident
insurance companies do not charge
higher rates to women who insist on
wearing hats that come down over
their eyes In London, you know,
there was, last year. an alarming In
crease in the proportion of women
killed and injured In street acci-
dents 1t seemed hard to see just
why this should be until some keen
observer realized that the trouble
must be due to the fact that so many
women wear hats so far over their
eyes that they really have trouble IN
seeing their way about city streets
Sometimes, too, with the new POKE
hats the sides extend so as to oo-
struct the view at the sides. and add
to this fur collar that comes up 10
the ears and the fashionable pedes-
trian without an escort becomes
very bad insurance risk.
Some one might suggest revival
OF the old-time calash, so that by
means OF the simple pull OF RIBBON
the front of our hats could be raised
or lowered. On alighting from bus
or jitney, pull the ribbon TO raise
the calash before venturing to step
forward into the whirl of traffic.
Once safety on the side of the street,
another pull of the ribbon and the
calash would come down into its
fash enable position over the eyes
The ca'ash bonnet is, however, one
OF the few ridiculous fashions Of the
past that we shall probably not re-
vive.
Certainly It is for no exaggerated
sense of modesty that the woman OF
today wears her hats so far down
over her eyes. though this did enter
into the sentiments of women hum
dred years ago, when they clung to
the poke bonnet with the brim that
hid the view at either side. In such
headgear a young girl at church
could carry on no flirtations with
SWANS in the aisles beside her. but
had perforce to keep her eyes, II not
her thoughts, focused on the chan
eel before her.
There have been whisperings OF
late that the days OF the eye-hiding
hat were numbered. but well-dressed
women still cling to the hat that
hides head forehead. brow and eyes.
leaving little visible but the chin and
the tip of the nose.

HOW 1T STARTED

Palavers.

For profuse, idle, meaningless or
nonsensical talk we use the word
"palaver." It is derfsive and con-
temptuous term, commonly accepted
as slang. This Is one instance where
something that seems spurious Is
real! For "palaver" Is a word with
legitimate origin.
1t comes to US through the Spanish
and Portuguese, the original Latin
being "parabola," meaning a parable
or story"
There is one part OF the globe
where ''palaver." spelled with a cap
ital "P." has a grand and glorious
meaningI That is in Africa, where
the "Palaver' is the Council Of
Chiefs-the parley. debate or confer
ence.

Made Gold Bricks,
Gets Pinched For
Chipping Corners
by nited Press Leased Nirc

MARTINEZ, Cal, Oct. %. Doug
las Badham, 10, was paid for max
ing gold bricks, but not for chip
ping off the corners after they were
made, so he was sent to jail today,
charged by the American Smelling
and Refining company of ,,Sclby,
Cal, with grand larceny.
Badham WAS assistant manager of
the bullion department of the smclt-
or and stole $500 worth Of metal by
chipping off small pieces Of gold
before the bricks left his hands, ac-
cordlng to b. G. Stannard, his man
agcr.
Stannard said Badhom confessed
the theft to him after some of the
bricks were found short weight.
Badham S excuse, according to
Stannard, was that he could not
support his wife and seven children
at their Vallejo home ON the wages
that were paid him and he stole
to provide necessities for them.
Badham took his chipped gold to
San Francisco, had il rcmelted and
then sold it, it was claimed.

president Of that corporation, in the
problem of relieving traffic congcs
tlon and lcsscning automobile fatal

researches.
As II result, the University Of Cali
fornia has announced the creation
of the Albert Russell Erskine bu-
reau for street traffic research, es-
tablished through Il grant of the
Studcbaker corporation.
In offering to the university this
bureau, Mr.. Hoffman wrote:
The Studcbaker Corporation of

actcr of the street traffic problem
and the need for collection of scien
tific information on the subject, de
sircs to offer funds for the creation

Mr.. Erskinc commented on the of
fer:
Much of the failure of Amcri-
can cities to deal effectively with
street traffic may be attributed to
lack of technical information. Traf-
Tie is an engineering problem. 1t
can be controlled satisfactorily only
by sound engineering methods.
