soft and he is helpless as the others
do.
Hermit had been getting uneasy.
He had realized for some time that
he was outgrowing his house. The
very day that Danny Meadow Mouse
discovered him Hermit was house
hunting. That is what he was doing,
house hunting. OF course, Danny in
terfered. But just as soon as Danny
left, Hermit started out again.
First he peeked out very cautious
" to see If Danny was watching
him. Danny had disappeared. So
Hermit started off in his usual hur-
~. Presently he came to shell,
The first thing he did was to look
to see if it was empty. The shell
looked just about the size he want
ed. It was a little bit bigger than
the one he was now occupying. He
examined the opening TO it. 1t was
Occupied. There was another crab in
there. Hermit tried to pull him out.
Yes, sir, he tried to pull that other
crab right out of his house. But
he didn't succeed. So finally he gave
up and went on his way.
Presently he came to another
shell. This one was empty. Hermit
looked ait all over as he had the
first one. Then he looked all around
to be sure that no one was watching
him. Finally, sure that he was
alone. he came out of his house and
backed into the other one, and he
did it so quickly that had you beer
there you would hardly have known
what he was doing. Then he started
off with it, He stopped. He wiggled
around. He didn't like the way it
felt. He came out and backed into
it again. Then he went over to his
old house, backed into that, ad-
iusted himself, and away he went,
still with his old house.
BY and by Hermit found another
shell that looked about right for
him. He tried this one. This one
didn't suit. He tried two or three
others. Finally he found one that
looked about right, but there was
another crab in it. Hermit under
took to null him out. For a few
minutes they had a great fight. Then
Hermit managed TO get hold of the
other crab Just right and out he
came Quick as flash Hermit was
out of his own house and had back
ed INTO the other one. The other
crab, feeling helpless without any
kind of a house. lacked into Her
mifs old house. and then in his turn
went looking for another.

Quicksands of Love
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
-Reueiations of q Wife

Lillian said. It's what every young
girl should have, pretty room of
her very own"
There was a determined little ring
in her voice, grim accent not call
ed for by the kind of comment she
was making. And suddenly there
flashed over me the meaning of the
rigid personal economy Lillian was
practicing in her own mode of liv-
ing, an economy not necessary from
a casual viewpoint, for / knew that
not in years had her finances nor
her health-which always spells her
earning power-been in better con-
dition.
Why Lillian is EconomiZing.
But l also knew the almost idola-
trous love which is hers for her only
child, Marion Morton, a winsome,
beautiful girl who inherits her
mothers rare mentality, her deter
mination and her resourcefulness.
For years, during Marion's child
hood. the two had been separated,
through no fault of Lillian's, and
when my friend finallysregained her
darling, she could not bear even the
temporary absence which attendance
at school would give. During Lii
lian's occasional professional trips,
Marion either accompanied her or
stayed with me. and the child's edu-,
cation had been solely at the hands
of private tutors. And always,
wherever they were, my friend
managed to have a replica of the
heart of rose" room which she
had prepared for Marion in those
first agonized years of their separa-
ton, and which she always had kept
sacred against the little girls re-
turn to her.
But this year. there was no rose
room for Marion. Reluctantly Lii
liam had decided that the young
girl must have the associations and
the preparation for college which
good girls school would give her,
and, ever since the fall, Marion had
been an enthusiastic student at one
of the best girls preparatory schools
in the country.
Her brief vacations she spent In
travelling with her mother, and
knew at last why Lillian, during
Marion's school time, was living in a
cheap hotel, and saving every penny,
in glazing contrast to her usual pro-
cedure. She meant to have a per-
manent home with a heart of a
rose" room for her darling, before
the long summer vacation came.

1t was Joan's voice, and l drew a

She might have been answering a
girl she expected to ask to the
matinee for all the anxiety her tone
conveyed.

There was sudden change in the
voice. AS l had expected, Joan last
night had put all her troubles on
my shoulders. She was so used to
being protected and helped that by
telling me her troubles she
had become sure that l would take
care of her.
Now, however, her voice was full
of anguish and I fastened, as I
thought, to relieve her mind as
soon as possible by telling her that
Barry Cornwall was dead.
Before I could get any further I
heard a queer sou~s as though the
receiver was dropped and I was
shut off.

Your Health
How to Keep It
Causes of Illness
BY DIR. HUGH S. CUMMING
Surgeon General, Unitde States
Public Health Service

h1tA tO4i NlClNldib y hlluC States
Public Health Service
BY the term Dangerous water" is
meant any water that may cause
illness or death if used for drink
ing purposes and there are many
such waters.
Few realize that millions of deaths
have been caused in times past from
drinking water that was contaminat-
ed with such germs as those of
cholera and typhoid fever.
Water from streams and lakes is
used both for human consumption
and for essential industrial purposes.
Recreation
By serving as channels of COM
munication, by furnishing opportu-
nifty for recreation and by providing
water supplies, streams and lakes
rank among the foremost of our
natural resources. Not by any means
the least useful function of such
bodies of water is that of providing
healthful recreation in the form of
fishing, boating and swimming.
A common place, though import
ant function of water courses is
the drainage of surface washings.
In many istances, man has used the
stream, often unwisely, as a means
of disposing of sewage and indus
trial wastes.
About the most dangerous form of
pollution to which a body of water
can be subjected is that f receiving
human waste. Even a very small
amount OF such pollution becomes a
most serious menace, or in other
words, one person suffering from
typhoid fever has been known to in
feet the water supply of an entire
city, causing hundreds of deaths
from this disease.
Cross-Connection
Only last summer an outbreak of
typhoid fever occurred in a small
town in one of our middle western
states. Upon investigation, 1t was
found that this outbreak was due to
a cross connection which allowed
polluted water to enter the mains of
the regular drinking water system.
It happened that national con-
ference was being held in the lit
tie town at the time, and eight
states later sent In reports of per-
sons who were infected by drinking
this water and who developed the
disease after they had returned
home.

Danny Meadow Mouse didn't find
it easy to get acquainted with Her
nit the Crab. Hermit was bashful.
Every time that Danny came near,
Hermit ran away. Then when Dam
ny ran after him Hermit retired in
side his shell and closed the door
in Danny's face. So finally Danny
gave up trying to get acquainted and
his curiosity had to go unsatisfied.
Perhaps. If Danny had had little
more patience, he might have seen
Hermit in a new house. You know.
the house that he carried about with
him on his back was an empty
snail shell which he had found. He
carried it about with him because
he had no shell of his own. No. sir,
he had no shell of his own. This
funny little crab has a soft body.
