corn mock oysters, oven toast,

LUNCHEON-Stuffed baked Gu
cumbers, whole wheat bread and

DINNER-Roast chicken, can
died sweet potatoes, lima beans,
tomato-celery-cabbage salad, pear
tapioca pudding, milk, coffee.
A spring chicken weighing
about three to four pounds is de-
licious roasted. 1t should be put
into a self-basting roaster without
a drop of water and started in a
very hot oven. Then reduce the
heat and roast an hour. The bird
can be stuffed if wanted but
young chicken is so delicately
favored that stuffing is not at it's
best.
Corn mock oysters can be used
with roast or fried chicken to
elaborate dinner menu but they
are suggested as something dif-
ferent for a breakfast dish.

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES 8. MONTAGUE
THE JOY OF PERIL


There's a glorious zest in raging gale
That sweeps from the cloud built
dome,
And rends the warp of the bellied sail
While the scuppers run white with
foam.
There's an awesome Joy in the deep
toned blast
AS it sings in the darkling sky
And the lightning plays round the
slender mast
While, the towering waves roar by.
So ever and often to sea I fare
ASH sit with a book in an easy chair.
There's a thrill in ascending an ice
clad peak
AS it bathes in the brilliant moon
Like a giant rock with a cleaning
beak
Or an aerial hooked harpoon.
It is grand to stand on the glaciers
rim
And to gaze at the streams that
flow
Like winding threads through the
shadows dim
In the valleys that lie below.
So forth to the mountains I often
roam
While I sit with a book in my eozy
home.
There's zip in the gleam of a
tigers eye
And the snap of his -tawny tail
When, t1usty rifle il hand you lie
At the turn of the jungle trail.
The heart strings tug as you watch
him spring
Awaiting with bated breath
Till the rifle cracks and the bullets
sing
And he tumbles in sprawling death
So I hunt the brute in his deep
retreat
With stirring book in a garden seat.

old FASHIONED Wealth

OIu rdSluOIlCU WcdALH
A recent survey shows the wealth
of America has risen one third in
five years, but it requires more wealth
to be a rich man today than it did
years ago. In presenting the citizens
of Bethel, Conn, which was his boy
hood home, with bronze fountain,
P. T. Barnum said in his presenua-
ton speech:
Esquire Tom Taylor was a large
majestic looking man, OF great will
force, and was considered the richest
man in Bethel. Mr. Eli Judd was
marked second in point of wealth
Every year I took $12 to SQUIRE
Tom Taylor to pay the interest on
5000 note my father owed him. I
also annually carried $3.50 to- Eli
Judd for interest on a $75 note
which he held against my father.
GAS these wealthy men quietly
turned over each note filed away in
a package till they found the note
of my father, trembled with awe
to think I stood in the presence of
such wonderfully rich men. 1t was
estimated that the richer OF them
was actually worth $S,OOO."

000 900 years ago. believes DIR. Henry
Fairfield Osborn, president OF the
American Museum of Natural History,
New York
Addressing the annual meeting OF
the American Philosophical Society
last night, Dr. Osborn assailed the
theory that man descended from apes.
and asserted that this belief should he
banished from our Speula lions and our
literature as totally false and mis-
leading"
DR.. Osborn held that apes and man
evolved separately from a common am
cestral stock in oligocene times, and
that the evolution continued through
the miocene, pliocene. pleistocene and
recent geological ages
lie asserted that one of the most
compelling arguments in favor of his
theory were the recent contributions
made in the fields of psychology and
behayiorism.
ut is our recent studies on bahav-
iorism of the anthropoid apes as con-
trasted with the behayiorism of the
, progenitors of man which compel us
to separate the entire ape stock very
widely from the human stock"
DR.. Osborn said he believed that the
maniike creatures from which the hui
man race was descended may have
fourished as long ago as one billion
years.
Man and the apes had arboreal an

thumb made him a tool maker. The

He had reached the plantation
when ne felt, rather than saw. the
ambush into which he was falling.
Hampered as he was by the closely
growing trees, his progress was slow.
Plop!
He had heard that sound before,
but this time the bullet missed and
snicked the bark of a growing beech
and went, whining and humming,
into the wood.
The second shot went even wider,
and then he came to a place where
the trees were less thickly planted,
where he had elbow room and clear

bomb from his pocket, pulled out the
pin, and as he saw the flash of a
third shot. flung it with all his might
in the direction of the hidden assas-
sin. In another second he was flying
like man demented. He judged his
time perfectly, and flung himself on
the ground only the fraction of
moment before the bomb exploded.
From somewhere behind he heard a
shrieE, and. rising to his feet, ran
swiftly.
He had missed the trail, but he
had a rough idea of direction. Once
he stopped to take breath. listening
intently, but there was no sign of
pursuit. Ten minutes later he heard
voices and footsteps ahead of him,

challenged by a familiar voice.

"but / lost you in the wood, and l
