AIadge and Hugh Granuand Quarrel
 Over Philip Veritzen.

There was something in the into nation of Hugh Crantland's voice as he uttered Philip Feritzen's name which suddenly stripped the anger from me, and left instead curious fear not of the old friend whose sud- den blazing into tempestuous pas sion and reproach had so startled me, but of my own heart.
 For. couched in slightly different terms, Hugh's last speech had been identical In thought with my fathers warning. given to me upon the occasion of our last talk to- gether before his return to the farm. My father had asked me to question my own heart honestly and find out if Philip Neritzen's undoubted fas- cinations were not subtly attracting me to q point where my affection for my husband would be threatened and where Hugh Grantland's friend ship and devotion of years would be forgotten.
 Madge Tears the Veil.
 luSA Hbi SOlic NNSh Aut eiici . With an almost brutal rejoinder to my astounded protest that only madness could excuse his impas- stoned declaration, If you do leave your husband. you're coming to me, not to any other man." he had flung Philip Veritzen's name at&me and ] could not escape the knowledge that he, as well as my father, believ- ed I was in love with my distii.- gulshed employer, whether l knew 1t myself or not.
 I suppose almost everyone has had the nightmare of finding oneself absolutely unclothed in the public streets. The same sensation crept over me as I realized that my old friends tempestuous words had torn tho veil from a secret place in my heart which l had never uncovered

From animals a lesson take, For cen a bear his bed can make.
 --Old Mother Nature.

Peter Rabbit took great care to make no sound. He didn't want Buster Bear to know that he was anywhere about. So Buster sat on one side of young hemlock tree, grumbling to himself; and Peter sat on the other side of that same tree waiting for Buster to move on. II seemed to him that Buster never would move.
 But finally Buster started along. He was still grumbling to himself in that deep grumbly voice of his. He wanted to go to bed. He was sleepy, but he wanted to get another good meal before he went to bed. But he yawned more and more. Peter, following along behind him at a safe distance, heard him yawn, and every time he heard him yawn Peter laughed down inside. It really was funny. Buster would yawn and then would grumble.
 After a while Peter noticed that they were gradually getting deeper and deeper into the Green forest. Fl wondered if Buster was going back to the den he had used for several years. But Buster wasn't for the very good reason that Mrs. Buster already occupied it. Peter didn't know this. So he was a little surprised when they reached the lodges where Busters old home was, and Buster merely stopped to look over there and snic. Peter

 Happy and all unconscious of the gathering storm clouds of tragedy that hung just over the horizen. Un- aware that the grim god of war was chuckling as he saw the battle mood tanning into flame across the length and breadth of the land. Unaware that war was to age them and to tear at their hearts and to demand his bloody sacrifice of youth.

 You Owe Me An Apology"
 For suddenly, l realized that though I was far from the point where I would be compelled defi- nitely to admit that care for Philip Veritzen, yet my admiration for his wonderful mentality and his undeni ably fascinating personality had grown to something which held in 1t something of the heart as well as of the brain.
 If looked into my heart honestly as Hugh Grantland had demanded, l knew that I should find there the same gratified vanity, the same thrilled uncertainty, the same shy anticipation of some wonderful revelation, which is at once the delight and the torment of every Eve, when she finds herself the object of some personable mans in terest, and realizes that he is occu- pying altogether too much of her thoughts for her peace of mind.
 
 Frantically I strove to clutch at the veil which Hugh's words had so ruthlessly torn aside. l might not hope to deceive him, but at least l could try, Chinese fashion, to save ing that I was indeed an ostrich. in gthat I was indeed an ostrich. though I faced him steadily, that made reply to his tempestuous ut terance of Philip Veritzen's name.

ever. started on again. Buster trav- eled some distance and Peter was about ready to give up.
 "I'll go just a little farther" nut tered Peter. I'll go just a little farther, and If he doesn't go to bed by that time I'll just have to give up"
 It was just after this that Buster Bear stopped. There was a great windfall there. You know a wind fall is where lot of trees have been blown over and have fallen in a great pile. Some of these trees had fallen across ledge of rock which stood high above the ground. Tn this way they made a sort of cave Peter saw Buster go in underneath the fallen trees. Then Buster came out. He looked this way and he looked that way and he looked the other way. and he grumbled and he rumbled, and he rumbled and he grumbled and finally he went over to young hemlock tree and broke off some branches.
 Now what is he doing that for 2" muttered Peter to himself. seeing there was no one else to mutter to-. Buster raked the branches toward the opening under that windfal With his big paws he raked them inside. Presently he came out and got some more and did the same ho Ha bling and grumbling and muttering away to himself. He was making his bed. At first Peter couldn't think what it meant, but after a little he understood. Buster Bear was making his bed.
 that this Is where he is going to sleep all winter. There must be a lot of dry leaves In there, but he is going to make sure of having the right kind of q bed. I wonder If he'll go ot bed tonight and not wake up until spring?"
 Presently Buster Bear came out once more and sat up. He looked very tall and big and black against the white snow. He tested the air with his nose. He wrinkled his lips as he still grumbled to himself. To Petetr that made his face look very unpleasant, because 1t showed those big teeth of his. Then, after look this way and a look that way and look theother way he once more disappeared inside his home. Peter heard him sigh several times. Those sighs were long. heavy signs. He heard him rustic the 1 leaves as he twisted and turned to make himself comfortable. Then, though Peter waited for long time he heard nothing more.

 Recent surveys indicate that more than 100000 of the school chill dren in the United States have de- fleets Of hearing, Modern electrical devices are used in testing the hear ing of the children in large groups.
 Before the children take the test they are asked If they have ever had ear aches, infections with dis charge or noises in the ear like buzzing, hissing or roaring.
 Conduction of Sound
 Associated with the examination of the hearing by the electrical device, some simple examinations were made to check up the answers to the qquestions to show whether or not the ear drum is normal and whether or not the conduction of sound In the ear follows the usual lines.
 The examinations made in various cities have indicated that about Is per cent of the children have de- ficient hearing, about 3 per cent be- ing affected in both ears. and 12 per cent in only one ear.
 Not infrequently the work of the child in school is back of that of the remainder of the class because he is unable to hear clearly.
 Fair Chance for Deaf
 Authorities are agreed that pupils should receive periodic organizations of their hearing. that preventive measures should be taken to pre- vent loss Of hearing ability. and that deafened children should be pro- vided with special classes for lip reading in order to permit them to do their work satisfactorily.
 Several organizations in the United states, notably the League for Hard hearing. are making nationwide campaign to interest people in these matters, and to give the deafened child fair chance for a suitable and happy life.

Menus for tie Family
BY SISTER MARY

The bride who must be a cook may find herself rather at loss as to just how to go about pre-, pairing her lobster for her luncheon salad or chafing- dish.
 1 Lobsters should always be alive when purchased and until they are plunged into boiling water A live 1 lobster should be heavy for It's size is mottled bluish green in color 1 and gives an impression of plump ness for all its hard shell. Be sure to have a kettle large enough to hold the Holsters com ! fortably covered with water. Have the water boiling hard and add l tablespoonful of salt to quarts oi water.
 Lift lobster firmly by the body and plunge head first into the rapid. boiling water, immersing the en' tire fish. Boil hard for minutes then reduce heat and simmer for 2t or 30 minutes. The shell will turn 8 bright red. Remove from boiling water and plunge into cold water Drain, laying the lobster on its claws and wipe dry.
 Quite a Task
 When cool enough to handle, re- move the meat thus:
 Pull off the two large claws and the four pairs of small ones. Break apart the tail and the body at the joint where they come together. Cut the thin shell-like membrane on the inside of the tail with a pair of scis- sors. Bend the hard shell back from the flesh and remove the meat in one piece. Separate this in the crease on the under side and very carefully remove the intestinal vein which runs the whole length of the tail This vein Is always visible but may be red, white or black. This, with the lungs and "lady" or stomach, is not edible.
 To take the body from the shel hold the shell firmly in one hand and 1 with the thumb and first two fingers of the other hand draw out the body leaving in the shell the "lady" and some of the green part which Is the liver and may or may not be eater as preferred. If the coral and livel are left in the shell, shake them ou and set aside for garnishing. The Best MorseLs
 The sides of the body are covered with little woolly gills which are tho lungs. Break the body In severa pieces and remove all the bits O. flesh found between the bones. Thi. is some Of the best part of the lob. ster, for the meat Is very tender ant sweet.
 Separate the large claws at the | joints and break the shell with ( hammer or nut cracker. Remove meat In whole pieces if possible. The small claws contain little flesh ant they are usually used for garnishins without attempting to remove the meat
 Chill well before using.
 A two and one-half pound lobster will yield about two cups Of meat and will serve from 4 to 6 persons depending of course on how muct other material is combined with 1t.
 If you buy Holsters that have beer boiled for the market be sure tha, they are freshly boiled. They should be bright red. Straighten the tail If 1t springs back quickly into place the lobster was alive when put into the pot for boiling and is quite a. | 1t should be.

CHICAGO LABOR
HEADS SPLIT ON
BACKING DEvER
Fail to Ask Mayor to
Succeed Himself

AT an informal gathering Of about
II local labor heads, called together
by Victor A. Olander, secretary Of
the Illinois Federation of Labor, a
decided difference of opinion led to
the ditching Of a proposal to send
a delegation to Mayor Dover, solicit
ing him to be again candidate for
the office. Among those who strongly
opposed the plan was Oscar Nelson,
vice-president of the Chicago FEEDER
alton of Labor.
Olander thot that the Julius Rosen-
wald group of capitalists had stolen a
march on them by arriving first at
the mayors office to tout his candi-
dacy.
But the CONSERVATION in Olander's
group on learning that the capitalists
had beaten them to it, was mild com
pared with the jolt that Dever's sup
porters received on learning that the
labor leaders had undergone a cool
ing process.
The opponents of the mayor at the
Olander meeting pointed out that De-
yer was labor's friend only at election
time, that he appointed too many
bankers to the school board and over
looked labor entirely when there was
a vacancy among the trustees, that
taxes had gone up, and that the Grim
inal element under his administra-
ton had the city well in its grip.
Dever's friends are counting some
what on another meeting Of labor
chiefs, carefully sifted, in order to
eliminate all but the mayors support
ers among union officials and ele
ments of the Chicago Federation.
1t is significant that the federation
has gone to the trouble and expense
Of placing a microphone to connect
his voice with the federation's radio
station VIGIL.
