What Scrapper Did.
True dignity is fine. and yet
lis very easy to upset.
-Peter Rabbit

The truth of this King Eagle knows.
more than once happened to him.
Yes, sir, the dignity of King Eagle,
and he has a great deal of dignity,
has been upset more than once. And
never was it more upset than when
Scrapper the Kingbird drove him
from the Old Orchard. 1t had
been bad enough to miss Peter
Rabbit, and that was due to the warn
ing Scrapper had given him. There
is always a loss of dignity in rushing
for thing and missing it. This had
been bad enough, but it had been
worse, oh, very much worse, TO be
driven, actually driven, away by one
so small that he would have hardly
made more than one good mouthful.
King Eagle had known just how un-
dignified he appeared as he lodged
this way and that way. and all the
time hurried as fast as his great
wings could take him to get away
from that little pest who managed to
keep just above him, and kept strik-
ing him on his back and between the
shoulders. 1t was the fact that Scrap
per was so small that made it i'm
possible for King Eagle to fight back.
When at last King Eagle got rid of
Scrapper the kingbird his dignity was
wholly upset. But Scrapper had done
more to King Eagle than upset his
dignity. Yes, SIR, he had done more
than that. He had made King Eagle
lose his temper. 1t is bad enough to
see small person lose his temper,

Naturally the mind associates the
name with the word riddle" mean
ing puzzle or problem, and mas
much as this word is good old one,
coming straight down to us from
Anglo-Saxon days, the assumption
that there is connection seems
reasonable.
AS a matter of fact, none of the
family names listed above have any
thing to do with the word riddle, :"
though it has everything to do with
the word riddle" which means to
make holes. This also is a good old
Anglo-Saxon word.
The word which means puzzle or
problem Is the evolution of the old
Anglo-Saxon verb ''raedan." which
meant to counsel. Our modern verb
riddle" comes from the ancient verb
"hridder," with precisely the same
meaning.
The "riddler" of the Middle Ages.
the period in which English family
names often developed from words
denoting an occupation, was a maker
of holes. Specifically he was a maker
and merchant of sieves, collanders
and the like. And since the house
wife of medieval times probably made
as much use of these utensils as the
modern cook, the occupation was a
thriving one, and one likely to be
crystallized into a family name.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Genini.

You will undoubtedly experience, on
awakening tomorrow, a feeling of las
situde, and very little desire to put
your shoulder to the wheel and work
persistently or perseveringly. This
feeling will be accentuated as the day
progresses. until you will be dissatis-
fed with your outlook in general. and
become pessinlis.ic. The planetary as
poets indicate all this, and counsel
that only duties that must receive at
tention should be carried out. They
also indicate that poise must be main
tanned and self-control exercised, in
order to avoide the saying or doing
of those things that are often the nat.
ural outcome of a discontented state
of mind.
Robust health and fair measure
of material success are presaged for
the child born tomorrow. Physically,

infancy or thereafter. 1t does not
promise to be endowed with any ex-
ceptional degree of intelligence. On
the other hand. it will not be stupid,
as it's mind will be both keen and
alert. Common sense will be its chief
asset. Practical application will al
ways prevail as against theoretical
supposition. Notwithstanding this,
however. but as a result of it, this
child, on attaining maturity, will be
more successful in the handling of
small affairs, than in the carrying out
OF big projects-fn all of which imag G.
ination is a big factor.
Your disposition, if tomorrow is your
birthday. is free from worry, and is
merry and light hearted. You take
life as it comes, and neither look upon
the present nor the future with any
very serious thought or vision. You

contented as you are with conditions,
and surrounded on all hands by good
friends ad admirers.
You are not very energetic and more
inclined to do as little as you can,
rather than as much as you can.

the satisfaction Of any ambition to
amass treasure or gain wealth.
Your temperament is affectionate,
although you are not of the type to
suffer from broken heart. You cas-

States Government and is one of four
ships built during the war as Army
transports, but since rebuilt for pas
senger service to South America.
, Before the war the passenger IA
cilities between the United States
and South America were SO bad that
South American business men Gus
tomarily started for the States via
Europe-and in most cases stopped
in Europe TO transact their business.
Tourist travel was practically non
existent.
One of the first steps of the Ship
ping Board was to establish a fast
passenger service between New York
and South America, with the $4,000
ton ships Pan America, Western
World, Southern Cross and Amer
lean Legion. These ships hold the
record for speed between the two
continents. AS a result much bust
ness travel has been turned from
Europe to the United States, and
tourist travel has been increased con-
siderably.

day is commemorated as a national
holiday. There Cabral found a pecu-

South Americans laugh at our ig-

This dish will require one-half a pint

third ounce of flour, one-half a pint of
milk and a cucumber. Prepare the
shrimps, melt the butter, add the flour
and seasonings and stir for two or

Roe on Toast.

This can be made from the soft roe
from fresh herrings or bioaters for
breakfast. Half a roe is enough for
each person. It needs to be heated
through, then placed on a small slice
of hot toast, set under the grill for
three minutes, with a dash of cayenne
and a half teaspoonful of anchovy or
other fish sauce added for relish. The
secret of serving this to perfection
lies in the fact that the roe must be
heated through before it Is placed on
the buttered toast, otherwise you get
really hot toast and merely warm roe,
and the roe must be piping hot to be
appreciated.
