It is because Sammy Is always looking for the reason for things that he knows so much about what is going on on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest and in the Old Orchard. If Sammy sees a thing he wants to know the reason for it. He isn't satisfied until he finds out that reason.
 There is no use in seeing a thing If you can't find the reason for it." says Sammy. You don't learn any thing from just seeing things; you must understand them"
 Undoubtedly Sammy is right in this There is no knowledge without understanding. So when Sammy is puzzled by a thing he keeps studying and studying untA he finds out all about it.
 Now it happened that there was . light crust on the snow. Sammy had stopped in the top of a tree In the Green Forest where he could look out over the Green Meadows He saw over toward the edge of the Old Pasture, but out on the Green Meadows, a red spot. That's Reddy FOX" said Sammy to himself. Tt must be hard hunting for Reddy these days. What is he up to now, wonder. That's queer perfor- nance"
 Reddy was too far away for Sammy to see clearly what he was 6olng. He had jumped up in the

air two or three times, and it cer- tainly looked queer. Sammy watch ed for a few minutes, then, spread ing his wings, he flew over to where he could see more clearly what Reddy was doing. Reddy was so in- tent that he just didn't notice Sammy at all. He ran along on the snow for a short distance with his nose down as if he were following a track. He wasn't, however. Then Sammy noticed that his ears were cooked forward as if he were listen- ing for something. Once or twice he stopped and seemed to be listening to something under the snow Sud- denly he jumped up in the air and, with all four feet punched together, came down hard on the crust. The crust cracked. Sammy could see 1t cracking. Instantly Reddy began to dig furiously down, breaking through the crust and making the snow fly. He buried his head in the snow. In moment he pulled his head out, shook 1t, and blew the snow out of his nose. He looked disappointed. But he didn't waste any time. He ran forward a few steps and jumped again just as be- fore. Of course the higher he jumped the harder he would come down, so he seemed to be jumping as high as he could. Those four black feet of his were punched right together, and this time when he struck the crust he broke right through. How he did make his forepaws fly! The snow came out between his hindlegs in a cloud. Then once again he lifted his head looking disappointed, blew the snow from his nose, and went on to do the whole thing over again.
 Sammy Jay stood on one foot and scratched his topknot with the oth- CT. Now what" said he talking to himself, lis Redy Fox up to? I must look into this. I have never seen him do that before, but he did There must be reason. Yes, sir, there must be reason. Teddy Fox never does q thing with out a reason for it. He can't be do- ing that for fun. I guess if I keep watch I'll find out what his reason is"
 But just then Reddy Fox turned and trotted away toward the Green Forest, He was through with jumping and breaking the crust. Sammy was disappointed. He knew it would be of no use to ask Reddy what he had been about, for Reddy wouldn't tell him. Sammy flew down 10 one of the places where Reddy had been digging. He looked all about very sharply with those bright eyes of his. But he didn't see any thing to explain why Reddy had done this thing. Disappointed Sam my flew back to the Green Forest. I'll watch" said he. What Reddy has done once ho'Il do again. Sooner or later I'll find out what it all means, It's a queer performance. Yes. sir, it's q queer performance.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygia.
 the Health Magazine

Tn times gone by 1t was more dangerous to the life of Q woman 10 have a baby than for a soldier to fight in a battle with Napoleon. The improvement of modern condi- tions and understanding as to the causes Of death of prospective mothers has made this danger relatively slight.
 Sometimes after the mother learns she is to have a child. tlse physician discovers early in his ex- animation that the developing in fant Is, not properly located. Under such circumstances, the sooner the condition is interrupted the better.
 Danger of Diseases
 Sometimes the prospective moth CT suffers from heart disease and tuberculosis and is likely to be se- verely i'll. if not to die. because of the extra strain associated with childbirth. In these instances, also, a competent physicians advice is invaluable.
 When the woman first comes to the physician he wilia examine her fully.
 He will find out whether her heart. kidneys and the other sys- tems within her body are function ing satisfactorily. He will determine whether she has about her person dhS ttl ldlH lilitCllUIlS WilCu IJdN flare up into severe conditions un- der the new stress.
 Making It Easier If the woman passes a complete ly satisfactory physical examina- ton. there still are many things which the physician may advise in order to improve her general con- dition and make it possible for her to undergo the strain more easily.
 Everyone knows that a rundown body picks up infection easily whereas. the person who is physi- cally fit is able to throw off many causes of disease.
 The woman without competent advice in the early months of the collaborating period tends to be- come below par physically. She is dragged out and tires on eXertion; she requires much sleep loses weight: and may give other evidences of an unsatisfactory con- dition. TO these factors the physi- elan gives his most earnest atten- ton.
 A prospective mother should have medical attention for at least 250 days before the child is born

Hugh Grantland Finds It Hard to
 Restrain Himself


 Hugh Grantland's involuntary and unintentional reference to that old obligation of Dicky's and mine to him for the rescue of our idolized baby from the hands of kidnapers, wiped out in an instant any faintest residue of resentment toward him for his strictures upon my friend ship with Philip Veritzen.
 Always l have considered that I owed him a debt which never could be paid adequately, and I hastened to assure him of this, hoping to re- move from his face the look of hor- TOT with which he had realized that he had mentioned the obligation.
 Haven't I always called on you whenever needed you?" l asked. T should feel very sad. indeed, if l thought you were going away where I could not find you in an emergency. I always have felt so safe some way ever since that time Junior was Kidnapped and you brought him back to me. I have felt that as long as you were in the world and I could call on you, no real harm could come to me-"
 Madge Speaks Kindly
 His face kindled into joyousness.
 Then may l hope that you will not entirely shut me away from you for the atrocious things I have said to you this afternoon?" he asked.
 A sudden feminine temptation as- sailed me to tell him that not all of the things he had said were "atrocious" from a woman's stand point for surely no woman but would be touched and flattered by declaration of devotion, so self less, so sincere as the one Hugh Grantland just had given me. But I had had my lession. I had seen ehs barriers of years break with this old friend, and I had no desire

hands and stepped forward two slow paces. She pointed it somewhere in the general direction of the frog. Then, just as she pulled the trigger, the muzzle lifted to an upslant of some 45 degrees.
 Kerplunk! The frog was gone! "There!" squealed Rusty. T knocked him off the log!"
 "Knocked him off" Jim mocked. Good Lord, he fell off laughing at you"
 Rusty tossed her head. Here. take your old gun," she pouted and handed it back to him. I'm going over there to that other pond to shoot & lily with my bare hands!"
 She started off through a jungle of weeds, Betty and Jim following. Suddenly Jim stopped short and listened, and his face was deathly what. A metallic, whirring sound, heart-stilling, deadly, struck on his ear.
 Hey, get out of them weeds, you kids!" he yelled shrilly. There's a rattlesnake In there!"
 His warning cry was answered al- most instantly by wild scream from Rusty.

WANTS STATE WITH
 POPE AS ITS HEAD
Cardinal Suggests Way to Bridge Papal,Italian ChaSm

Rome, Jan, i6 Pl-Thc bringing Of tho old chasm between the papacy and the Italian state can best be ac- complished through mediation by the league of nations. An important member Of the Sacred college is authority for this belief
 The cardinal, whose identity hc insists must not be made known, is of the opinion that the breach bc- tween church and state which hns existed since tho fall of the temporal power could be surmomted If Italy would consent to the setting up in the confines of the city of Rome of q small papal state, over which the pontiff would hold the mandate Of the league Of nations.
 The suggestion Of the cardinal that the league offer its good offices to tho Vatican and the Italian gov ernment is n new one, and in Rome it is considered as answering oh- icclions 10 the creation Of Q papal state.
 Well informed quarters point to the closer relations than heretofore which exist between the fascist gov ornment and The church and express inc belief thnt fho cardinals plan might offer an excellent solution of the difficulty
 Cardinal Bourne archbishop Of Westminster some years ago ad- vanccl tho iiee Of a creation of q rapal stat0 in Rome in which tho Pope would exercise both temporal and spiritual powers. The subject had tho attention of several Italian prrmiers and it was discussed privately during the Versailles peace conference Noithor the Italian gov. ernmcnt nor the Vatican. however, has gone so far as 10 mako q tanci. ble proposal or 10 suggest inc ac. ceptability ot Cardinal Domuc'8 plan.
