There is something queer about this
getting even, or rather about the de-
sire to get even. You win find this
desire in people whom you would least
expect to find II in. Very often 1t
doesn't pay, but this seems to make
no difference.
Now Reddy Fox had been bitterly
disappointed when Terror the Cos.
hawk had snatched one Of Farmer
Browns chickens from right under
Reddy's very nose. You see, at the
time Reddy had been very, very hun
cry. But when he got back to the
Old Pasture and thought it over it
wasn't the fact that he had missed
that good dinner that troubled him
most. No. sir, it wasn't that. 1t was
the fact that Terror he Goshawk had
snatched that chicken just as he was
ready to spring on it.
'I'll get even with that fellow"
grumbled Reddy to himself. "I don't
know how I'll do 1t, but I will. He
doesn't belong down here, anyway
He's robber! Just as if it isn't hard
enough for us folks who live here to
get living without having to share
that living with some one who doesn't
belong here at all. I'd like to set my
teeth in his neck-that's what I'd like
to do! 1t isn't often / am foolish
enough to want to fly, but right now
wish could fly. Then 1 would hunt
up that fellow and I'd teach him to
stay where he belongs"
Now all Of this was very foolish
talk, as Reddy knew. But he was so
disappointed over losing that chicken
and he was SO provoked that an out
slider, who didn't belong in the Green
Forest or on the Green Meadows, but
belonged away up North, should have
had that chicken dinner that he just
had to say something.
Thereafter wherever he was hunting
Reddy kept an eye open for Terror the
Goshawk. He just hoped and hoped
that there would be some way of
getting even. He couldn't think of
any way that he could get even, but
he still hoped that there might be
way, and he didn't intend to miss the
chance If 1t should offer. So he spent
considerable time in the Green Forest,
where he knew that Terror was likely
to be found.
Not since he had sd nearly caught
that chicken at Farmer Browns had
Reddy been near that henyard. He
knew that Farmer Browns boy had
seen him and he didn't know that
Farmer Browns Boy knew anything
about Terror the Goshawk. So he
thought that. of course, Farmer
Browns Boy blamed him for taking
that chicken. But IL he didn't go over
to the henyard he looked over there
very longingly at times.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRRD.

In addition to making sure that the
prospective mother has an adequate
diet during pregnancy, there is an.
other important item which will make
for her future comfort and improve
her chances of being a successful
nurse for her baby. This Is the neces.
sary care which must be given the
nipples.
Mothers who fail to make any prepa-
rations for their new duty of nursing
the baby may find, after birth, that
nursing baby on nipple which has
become cracked is too painful to be
borne. Also a cracked nipple pre-.
disposes to breast abscess when bac-
terra find their way in through the
assured nipple.
Many persons still harbor the idea
that in order to tougher" a nipple
some drying fluid should be used upon
1t, such as alcohol, alcohol and borax,
whisky, alum, etc. These ineffective
methods have been replaced by a
method which tends to "toughen" the
nipples in more natural way by exer.
else and friction. The softening proc.
ess used afterward will prevent them
from becoming dry.
Use soft complexion brush, or
fairly stiff wash cloth, and scrub the
nipples daily with soap and water for
two months preceding the birth. Dry
carefully and anoint them with either
lanolin or pure glycerin. Keep covered
with a soft cloth.
For those mothers who have de-
pressed or inverted nipples some addi-
tional treatment is necessary. These
must be drawn out so that the baby
will be able to grasp them readily,
otherwise he suffers from natural an
noyance and his efforts tire the mother
and also will increase the possibility of
cracked and sore nipples.
Grasp the nipple firmly in thumb
and finger. Draw it out exactly as the
baby would If nursing and let it re-
tract naturally. Begin this treatment
about four months before the baby
Is born and continue 1t daily for ten
to fifteen minutes.
A bottle from which hot water has
been emptied may have the wide
mouth applied over the nipple and will
draw 1t out by suction. This IL a
slower method than the other and no
more effective.
The new mother may not have
thought of the necessity for these de.
tails of her care, but she must face
the fact that she is about to undertake
an entirely new duty and that for
such a duty some preparations must
be made in advance.

One Of the most annoying beauty
problems is a nose that becomes red
with changes in temperature. There
is something about a rudy nose that
is particularly unladylike. It sug.
gests a cold in the head. indulgence in
stimulating beverages or skin dis
ease. Usually the red nose is also
shiny and face powder does not ad-
here for long upon its smooth sur
face.
Milady's first impulse is to cover the
offending feature with powder, but
after many futile attempts to conceal
its brightness by external applications
she is ready to spend time and effort
on discovering and removing the
inner cause of the blemish. This il
really the only satisfactory way to
remedy this particular beauty prob
lem, although it may seem an indirect
method.
The flush that spreads over the nose
is, of course, caused by a rush Of blood
to the sport. On account of its shape
and position, the nose is more ex-
posed to changes in air temperature
than are the other features. Amy one

WHY WE Do WHAT WE Do
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON, Phi. d.

A 5.year-old child can ask more
questions in S minutes than you can
answer in five days. He is regu-
lar question mark.
The reason that children do not ask
even more questions is, they get few
answers. If you answer, they will
pop questions all day long. Even the
most patient and stalwart would be
worn to a fragile long before the
child's curiosity was satisfied for a
single day A friend of mine tried
the experiment once and gave up in
despair at the end of one hour. The
young hopeful had averaged more
than two questions per minute.
We are born with the desire to
know. Some psychologists call this
native drive the instinct Of curiosity.
1t is this urge which impels man
to explore, to investigate, to know.
The modern civilization of which
we are so proud would not have been
possible were it not for this native i'm
pulse to know. Despite our uncon-
scious effort to kill the spirit of in
curry in the child, it has a way of
surviving. BY the time the child is
grown he has probably lost his inter-
est in knowledge for its own sake, for
the sake OF curiosity, just to know
why and how. but he maintains a
love for knowing as means to
wealth, power and happiness.
AS have written elsewhere: "Some
want knowledge for ornament. some
for wealth, some for exploitation, some
for the desire to serve their fellows
by relieving pain and increasing pleas.
ure, some want it to satisfy an in.
herent restlessness, some for the
pleasure of the conquest, for the sense
Of mastery. All want ii for power"
We want to know because we are
born with an inquiring disposition.

the world. of gaining control over the

BEDTIME STORIES
BY THORNTON
w. BURGESS

Early one morning as he sat on the
edge of the Green Forest looking over
toward Farmer Browns he saw some
thing that made him grind his teeth
and at the same time made his mouth
water. Seemingly out of nowhere a
great bird shot down into the henyard
There was a tremendous racket
among the chickens and then Terror
the Goshawk came flying over toward
the very spot where Reddy was, and
Terror had another chicken. Reddy
crouched low. Terror alighted close
by Reddy and started to tear the
feathers from that chicken. Just
then there was a sharp crack over
toward Farmer Browns and there
was sharp whistle. It was the
whistle of bullet. Farmer Browns

Boy had taken the chance of getting
Terror with his rifle. He had missed
him, for the distance was very great,
but that bullet had come so close that
1t had frightened Terror and he took
to his wings, for already Farmer
Browns Boy was racing down from
the farmyard.
That bullet had frightened Reddy
too, but he hadn't run. Here was his
chance to get even. He sprang for
ward and seized that chicken. Then
away he sped. Now at the moment
he did this Farmer Borwn's Boy
hadn't been looking. He had been
climbing over a fence. So he didn't
see Reddy get that chicken. AS it
happens, there was a hard crust and
so Reddy left no footprints. When
Farmer Browns Boy reached the spot
he found only few feathers.
