Vim T E r
BY ID. G. PEATTIE.

I once read poem by Western
woman of pathological 1eanings who
had gone all the way to Europe to
hear the skylark. The core of the
poem was her disappointment. I re-
call her words in prose, as asking the
skylark why he did not take some
lessons from the Rocky Mountain
bluebird.
Well, you may have your lark and
bluebird, your mocker, thrush, oriole
and song g.sparrow-aye, and your
nightingale. Give me the cardinal bird
for singer and as shaft of color
glory, too. Hearing him on a Winter
day makes one believe that Spring has
come. His valiant whistle is the un.
locking of brooks. the bursting of the
spice-bush in green-gold blossom.
In hot Midsummer he sings a sultry
brill. brill" repeated. like the cicada s
song. to monotony. Often his call is a
loud 'whee-you whee-you"' But in
my favorite aria from the throat of
this lusty tenor he adds to this last
the admonition to Hurry, hurry.
quick. quick. quick!"
Resist that IL you can! 1t tugs at
the feet; it makes the heart indescrib-
ably young and carefree. Anything is
possible, everything is glamourous
December becomes as the morning of
the year.

fighting instinct more often than

Tridon, famous psychologist, says:
"A good fight. seasoned with eXagger-
ations. slander, misstatements, and
the raking up of a hundred old
grudges. is to these people a first class
tonic. 1t fiushes their faces, speeds
up their breathing. makes their heart
beat faster. creates in all their muscles
contractions which mimic rather well

tenn poisonous forms of activity. To
them it spells relaxation; to every one
else, misery"
Most of us, however, have learned
to exercise our fighting instincts and
emotions by less annoying methods.
We read thrilling stories of adventure.
we see the movies, we play ball or
watch teams fight it out on the ath.
letic field.
We like a good fight because it is
the best tonic for sluggish life of
ease and safety. It arouses us from
the commonplace level of life to the
high pitch of excitement and real liv.
ing such as we are made to enjoy. We
like good fight because it exercises
a fundamental instinct. And the func.

Answer-For a local treatment TO
refine the texture of your complexion
suggest the use of a cleansing
cream at bedtime, followed by a thor.
ough lathering with soap and warm
water. Rinse in clean warm water,
press out the ripe" blackheads and
then battle your face in boric acid So
luton (coid). Once a week give your
face steaming treatment and press
out the blackheads. Pat on witch
hazel afterward Please send
stamped. self addressed envelope for
my leafiet that gives further sugges-
tions along this line. Besides the To-
cal treatments, you must be careful
to keep your digestive tract in order.
Avoid constipation. Drink plenty of
water between meals. In the morn
ing take cold or tepid bath, followed
by a hard rundown with a coarse
towel. Your weight is about right
for 14-year-old girl but If you are
older than that you need to gain a

FOR RANCH|NG

What its owner proudly calls a
real sport model" is the special
hunting car built on ChrysleF 40"
chassis for "Dick" Kleberg, foreman
Of the famous King miilion.acre
ranch in southwestern Texas.
The chassis was presented to Mr..
Kleberg by a New York friend and
he had the body built to his orders
at Corpus Christi. Tex. It is said to
be the most completely equipped
hunting car ever designed. Space is
provided for everything necessary for
hunter or camper. The seats fold
to make a comfortable bed. A cabi-
net at the rear carries provisions
and just back of it il another cabi-.
net for storing surplus bedding.
Cases strapped on the rear tenders
accommodate the party's guns AMI
ammunition.
The King ranch speciallzes in
Chryslers. which have practically re-
placed horses for the diversified du-
ties Of ranch life. The roundup now
includes a herd of no less than 20
Chrysler .'70'' cars, and another
model was added when Foreman Kle-
berg on a recent visit to Detroit
bought for his own use one of the
Chrysler Imperial $50" cars.
