 -Old Mother Nature.
 Danny Meadow MouseS was quite beside himself. If Meadow Mice ever really become crazy, then Danny Meadow Mouse was crazy. He was so jealous that he actually didn't have sense enough left to even take ordinary care. He was out to find Nanny Meadow Mouse who. he was sure. had gone off to make another home with another Meadow Mouse, and he didn't care what happened 10 him if he could only find her. The trouble was he didn't have any idea just where to look. The Green Meadows are big. and Nanny might De almost anywhere.
 But he hurried along a little path cut through tho grass, and he was grinding his teeth and not even look ing 10 either right or left; neither was he looking ahead. That is, If lie was looking. he wasn't seeing things. So it was that he ran right smack into Peter Rabbit. II was a question which was startled most - Peter or Danny?
 Why don't you look where you're going" demanded Peter grossly, as he turned to see who had run into him. Then his two ears flew right straight up and his two eyes bulgcd out. until 1t was a wonder they didn't fall out altogether. Say" he whispered, are you alive?"

but wait. The edicts of the Modes and Persians were like the Volstead act when compared with Phil Verit- zen's dicta."
 She had thus spoken her mind less than week ago and 1 feared that here upon the park bench was witnessing the beginning of a rebellion which might cost Mary the career she craved. There was nothing for me to do, however. save 10 play a waiting game. I did not dare express my disapproval of her conduct while Jack Leslie listened, nor could I betray the loathing and fear of the cabaret dancer which was mine.
 The Cabaret Dancer
 He had lost no time, apparently, in seizing the opportunity to con- tinue the acquaintance begun in the park when the curiosity-ridden lodger of the fourth floor had faint ed at Mary's feet and he had come to the rescue Of both. Of course I knew that Mary's charm and loveli- ness were such as afford a plausible excuse for any mans wishing to seek her out, but lovely women were no novelty to the cabaret dancer, and mingled with my lively disgust that Mary should have permitted the chance acquaintance to proceed 10 the terms of comradeship upon which the two were, was vague, lndcfinable fear that there was something sinister, menacing to Dicky's young niece in the cabaret dancers twisted soul.
 It was not the ordinary fear which an older experienced woman would have of such an association for Mary had that curious mixture of sophistication and innocence which so queerly but effectually guards so many of our feminine young moderns - but something more fantastic and terrible.
 Surely, if ever l had need of Lil- lian's poker face I wanted it as I stood before the bench with Mary's laughing, yet defiant young eyes and Lesiie's coldly watchful ones fixed upon my face. But I flattered myself that no hint of my dismay appeared in my face, as I answered lightly:
 Thank you, but I never have been able to learn to smoke. I will sit with you, a bit, however, if you don't mind. Your bench looks very inviting"

usual. "Of course I'm Danny Meadow Mouse. Who else would be-" he sputtered. This Is a nice way to treat an old friend. Where's Nanny Meadow Mouse? You tell me that, Peter Rabbit; where's Nanny Meadow Mouse?"
 At home" replied Peter, who by this time had somewhat gotten over his astonishment. At home, where she should be-"
 She isn't; she isn't home at all, :" squealed Danny. She should be, but she isn't, and I want to know where she is"
 How do you know she isn't 9" demanded Peter. She was half an hour ago. for I saw her and talked with her"
 No such thing" contradicted Danny. "She isn't at home at all she's deserted home. I've just come from there and she hasn't been liv- ing there for a long time"
 Peter began to understand He grinned. It was a most provoking grin. "Oh," said he, you mean the old house where you lived when you went away. No, she isn't there; she has a new home nova much bet ter home than that one. In fact, I had forgotten about that old home. She seems to like her present home very much, indeed. I wouldn't blame her any if she refused to let you in"
 "Wh- -wh-where Is that home 2" sputtered Danny. "Wh-wh-who built that home for herr" Peter stared long and hard at Danny Meadow Mouse. What was that you asked?" said he at last. 1 Copyright, 1926. by T. W. Burgess)

 Margret saw him look at them, and then at the big table in the corner of the sitting room where some of the wedding gifts were piled. Vases, pictures, silver-and- crystal pitchers. service plates, cocktail glasses. piles of hand -em- broidered linens.
 "She got lot of wedding gifts, didn't she?" he began, and then Margret saw his eyes darken with pain. He put his hand across them, and sat silent with his elbow on the table before him.
 She did not dare touch him or speak 10 him. Her heart ached not only for him but for herself.
 Was it fair, she asked herself, that Honey Lou should have this, too? That she should have Stevc's heart just because she happened to be beautiful and gay and lovable in every way? She had everything else worth having in life.
 Beauty and brains and love and money. She had them all now.
 "Then why should she have my Steve. too?" Margret asked her self silently. as she stood behind him, helpless to do anything for him. Tt isn't fair"
 Come on, Steve, buck up," she said aloud to him, after a minute or two, lets go down to The Duchcssa' and see Gloria Swan son. She's there, this week, in a new picture"
 But Steve shook his head. Even the little theatcr had it's memory of Honey Lou and the night she had Charlestoncd there. short skirted, swaying, alluring and saucy and gay.
 NO" He got up, and looked blindly around for his hat. As he opened the door to go. Margret felt stinging blindness in her own eyes. Tears.
 On the wall above the bookcase was a photograph of Honey Lou in the white dress she had worn at high school graduation years be- fore.
 Margret walked over to 1t, and looked at it long and searchingly.
 Honey Lou" she said to the girl in the photograph. If I didn't love you as much as I do. I'd hate you. I'd hate you"

 And are-arc you really Danny Meadow Mouse ." Peter asked, still in whisper, for he couldn't find his voice.
 Danny saw red. This vas adding insult 10 injury. Here he had come home after being away all summer and found his home deserted. Now one of his oldest friends was asking foolish questions.

Madge's Problem In Saving Mary From Jack Leslie.

 Marys laughing. though imperti- nent suggestion that I join them in a smoke, told me that she was de- liant, told me also that she was be- ginning to disregard the rigid disci- pline which Philip Veritzen had laid down for her. She knew that l never smoked, and that l had dis approved of her cigarettes, even though I never had spoken to her directly upon the subject. She also knew. as did l, that one of Philip Teritzen's rules for her was no smoking.
 When you are an established star, you may do as you please" |" he had said, but while you are un- der my jurisdiction and preparing for your future, you will smoke not at all The habit is good neither for your body nor your nerves, both of which must be brought up to the acme of efficiency"

 That the prohibition was a wise one, both Lillian and I agreed, but strictures had far less of wisdom in them He had outlined a program for Mary which held no whit of consideration for the girls extreme youth, and her tempestuous high spirits.
 Tt isn't human," Lillian had declared. 'I don't know what Phil is thinking about although he all ways was mt about having no other gods before ones art. He followed that theory himself in his own youth, and he's kept 1t up with the people he trains. Some of them break under the strain, and he gives them up. Others, like-she named two or three feminine stage stars who had achieved world fame under Veritzen's tutelage-managed to come through without dying or go- ing into an insane asylum, but they were not as young as Mary. nor had they her peculiar temperament.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
FISHBEIN SCORES HEALING PADS AND SUPERSTITIONS

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBElN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 The Health Magazine
 In the earliest period of mans history, he believed disease was caused by demons entering the body and that it could be cured by con- turing forth these demons through some magic or supernatural infu- encc.
 Witch doctors, voodoo doctors and savage medicine men sometimes seemed to achieve remarkable cures. As medicine progressed and man began to learn more about the working of his body. he began to use methods based on the actual causes of disease, but still continued his efforts to placate or mollify the spirits.
 Quacks and Their Charms
 The middle ages gave rise to Mes mer and mesmerism, and to all sorts of travelling quacks who healed largely by charms and in cantations.
 In more modern times there still is a considerable number of people likely to trust to faith-healing methods when first confronted with the possibilities Of illness, and to continue such methods until pain and weakness become so prominent that the patient no longer is ables to carry his burden of illness.
 To this class are addressed the advertisements of all sorts of faith healing cures. of peculiar patented bumb- bells and eXercisers, of ex- traordinary systerms Of diet and starvation and even of combined religious and healing institutions.
 New Promised Lands
 As Dr. Samuel P. Gordy has said:
 Many otherwise fairly Intelligent people go in for mental telepathy. numerology and a variety of mystic conglomerates Of metaphysics, reli- zion, ethics and medicine. The ouija board had a brief period of popularity.
 Every now and then new Moses arises to lead the babbitts to the promised land. It may be a Coue or a tall, thin, long -beared, dark skinned, dreamy-cyed Swami who recruits his apostles to a new faith from the afternoon tea clubs, becomes fashionable and lectures to select audiences from the social registry.
 As long as We have the tender minded. tapping will experi- ence periodic rebirth.'

Ten Thousand Smokes

DURING June. 1912, a volcanic
eruption occurred at point on
the Alaskan peninsula about 100
miles north from Kodiak Island. The
entire top of Mount katmai blew Off,
covering the country for hundreds OF
miles on each side with pumice and
volcanic ash.
Adjacent to this newly formed
crater, about Is miles away, was
formed one of the most peculiar phe-
nOmenon in existence. A heretofore
green valley was transformed into a
seething cauldron. The floor of the
valley was covered with thousands of
these steam lets. Some were no larger
than a lead pencil; others were great
craters so feet across, throwing up
steam clouds thousands of feet into
the air.
This region was named the "Fal-
ley of Ten Thousand Smokes

Travel By Travelogue

, FOR 33 years Burton Holmes has
been fostering a love of travel in
the minds and hearts of the American
people.
He was the first man to use the
word "travelogue." word that has
been adopted # the language of all
English speaking rOuntr es. Although
he has perhaps seen more of the world
than any man of his time and genera
ton, he is still boy in his enthusi-
asm for the job which knows no mo-
notony but senses only the sheer fun
of the thing.
Few indoor tourists. riveted to their
rocking chairs, appreciate the physi
cal and mental labor that goes into
the enterprise of making travel lee
lures. Freighted with cameras. mo-
ton picture machines and innumer-
able pieces o. personal baggage, near
| ly six months of each year is spent in
constant travel over what is usually
far-fluns, and widely separated area.
This is foHoWed by two months of the
hardest kind of Contining work in Sc
lecting, cutting and editing the pic
ture material and in compiling the in
formative data for presentation from
the lecture platform.
After this the life of a travel lee
turer becomes more or less simple and
routine, consisting of four months in
sleeping cars, taxicabs, hotels and lee
ture halls.
During the past Spring and Sum-
mer Burton Holmes circumnavigated
the United States ana Canada. made
long cruise to Iceland and Norway,
visited Holland and Switzerland and;
by the use of many new and striking
pictures, fashioned a new travelogue
on the great world cruise.
Those-swho are forced to do their
travelling in books and aliases might
do we'll to give . trial to the more fas-
cinating combinat on of instruction
and amusement known as the "trave
logue"

~ I-RING the past Spring and
Summer. the leading movie
producing companies an
49, nounced grandly that they
would devote themselves.
Nenceforth. 10 big superspe 4dI pc
lures, of "The Covered Wagon" and
The Big Parade" type.
\ superspecial it might be ex-
planned, is usually II reels in length:
it is shown in regular theatsrs. two
shows a day, at advanced prices; 1t is
ushered in with an elaborately staged
atmospheric prologue, and is accom-
nnied by ttll symphony orchestra
and it is not released to the regular
film theaters until it has exhausted its
possibilities as road show
At one time last Summer l studied
the announcements of the various pro
ducers and figured that at least 90 OF
these specials were on schedule.
Now that the season is we'll under
way lit started about the middle of
August), l should like to pause, for a
moment, to inquire, What has be-
some OF all the superfeatureS?
Only five of them have appeared to
date:
Beau Geste" Paramount. the
Herbert Brenon production with
Ronald Colman, Noah Beery, Alice
Joyce and others.
Don Juan" CWarners), with John
Barrymore and a great many beautl-
Iul women.
1.-The Scarlet Letter" tMetro-Gold
wynn. with Lillian Gish.
Sorrows of Satan" Paramount), di-
rected by David Wark Griffith and
featuring Adolphe Menjou, Lya de
Putti. Ricardo CorteZ and Carol
DemDster.
1.-The Better ole" Warners), with
sgd Chaplin.
One of these Il won't say which, has
proved to be somewhat of disap-
pointment, and won't last long as
road-show attraction. None Of the
others are to be compared, in point
of box-office value. with THE Covered
Wagon" or "The Big Parade
At the same time, some of the pic
lures that were announced as specials
have sneaked into the regular movie
theaters without the usual ballyhoo
indicating that the advance reports on
them were trifle eXaggerated
