OF all the people in the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest, the
one who never hurries, or seemingly
never hurries, is Jimmy Skunk. He
never seems to have cause to hurry.
This Is partly because he is IN
afraid. He has become SO accustom-
ed to having other people of all sizes
step aside for him that he never
worries as to what they may do. and
so he never hurries to get out of
their way.
The result is that some people
have the idea that Jimmy Skunk
cannot move quickly. They think of
him as they think of Prickly Perky
the Porcupine. You know. Prickly
Porky is noted for his slowness.
There is only one thing about Prick
ly Porky which can move quickly.
and that is his tail With Jimmy
Skunk, not even his tail moves
quickly.
But because you have never seen
Jimmy move quickly, do not make
up your mind that he cannot move
quickly. II you do, you may some
day get an unpleasant surprise.
Many meadow mouse has thought
that Jimmy Skunk was slow and the
result has been that Jimmy has gone
away smacking his lips. Peter Rab-
Bit will never forget the day he
learned that Jimmy isn't as slow as
he seems. Peter was hurrying across
the Green Meadows in the early
morning. He was on his way home
to the dear Old Briarpatch. He was
late, and being late, he was in a
hurry. He was hurrying lipperty
lipperty-lip. as only Peter can. But
with all his hurrying, Peter had his
eyes open. He saw Jimmy Skunk
curled up In the grass Just at one
side Of the Lone Little Path. Jimmy
was taking a bit of rest. Perhaps
Peter wouldn't have seen him. only
Jimmy lifted his head. You see, he
heard Peter coming. When he saw
who it was. he put his head down
again. Apparently, he hadn't any In
terest in anything.
Now it happened that mouse
started to cross the Lone Little Path
lust In front of Peter. Peter was
coming faster than the mouse
thought and he was so startled that
he turned and ran right straight up
the Lone Little Path. Now even
Meadow Mouse with his short legs
can run pretty fast for short dis
lance. 1t was Just before Peter
reached the place where Jimmy
Skunk was curled up that he startled
this mouse. The mouse knew moth
ing about Jimmy Skunk. If he had,
he wouldn't have run in that di-
rection. Peter watched him scurry-
ing up the Lone Little Path. And
Peter chuckled. You know, II isn't
often that he frightcns anybody.
Usually he Is the one who is
frightened. SO II rather tckled him
TO see this mouse running away
from him. Go it." he cried under
his breath
The mouse did go it. Yes, sir. he

Your Health
How to Keep It.
Causes Of Illness
BY DIR. NORRIS FTSHBEIN
Editor journal Of the American
Medical Association and of Hy.

BY DIR. NORRIS FIsHBEIN
Editor journal of the American
Medical Association and of Hy-
geia, the Health Magazine
When an object Is brought sud
denly toward the eye. the average
man blinks. Frequently he blinks
without any apparent stimulation.
Two British Psychologists, Drs.
Ponder and Kennedy, decided to
find out whether blinking is auto
matte or voluntary and to study
the various conditions which
bring blinking about.
Apparently blinking Is not de-
pendent on the perception Of
light. they found, although a sud
den illumination may produce a
few rapid blinks; instead, every
individual has a normal blinking
rate which Is modified by external
stimuli. The rate OF blinking
is more rapid when the eyes are
fixed on near point than when
they are looking at a distance.
Each blinking movement is as
ISOLATED with the movement of
the eye itself. II a person tries to
hold the eyes without blinking, he
will find in from ten to twenty
seconds an almost uncomfortable
desire to blink. At this time, II he
will alter the position of his eyes
and look elsewhere, he may avoid
the blinking movement.
Irritation Of the eye, as in
smoking, increases the blinking
rate as does also stimulation of
the hearing. Whereas the, average
man will blink every two and a
half seconds, II he becomes angry
he is likely to blink every second.
II person is excited he will
blink more rapidly, and he is
likely to blink more rapidly dur
ing speech In other words, men,
tai tension is important in this
connection.
The study brought out a con-
siderable difference between men
and women. 1t is generally known
that the attention Of women is
more interpretive and not so we'll
fixed as that OF men. Men and
women were observed In a read
ing room. II was found that the
women would blink every five sec
onds compared with 11.2 seconds
for the men.
The continual wandering Of at
tention in women. accompanied
by movements OF the head and
eyes. made the count OF the blinks
more difficult in women than in
men. A state of abstraction or
of darkness Of mind is associated
with a slow rate Of blinking. A
state OF mental tension without
an external outlet is accompanied
by a rapid blinking rate.

GROWING GREATER
However, Industry Is Threatened
With OYerprOduction
BY GEORGE II. MANNING


(washinston Bureau of the N. B. Heraidi
Washington, D. c., Aug. 1o.-De-
spite the fact that American smok-
ers increased their consumption OF
tobacco from 5.97 pounds per capita
In 1925 to 6.o2 pounds in 1926, the
United States tobacco industry is
threatened with overproduction, &C
cording to the Commerce Yearbook
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Commerce today.
Domestic consumption and ex-
ports. both of which are increasing.
although shifting from one kind of
tobacco to another, are not increas-
ing sufficiently to take care Of the
increase In production, the Com
merce Department declares.
Crop Lower
The crop last year, however was
four per cent lower than that of the
previous year, while more than &c.
000.00O,000 cigarettes were manu-
featured last year as compared with
$4,000 100000 in 1925. The con-
sumption of cigarettes has increased
~ per cent since 1922. while leaf
tobacco used In the manufacture of
cigars, tobacco, and snuff declined
about seven per cent during the
period.
Tobacco ranks next to the income
tax as source of revenue for the
federal government, and cigarette
users paid nearly two-thirds of the
total of s4o9.754ooo paid in tobac-
co taxes last year. This is an aver
age of $3.49 per capita paid in to-
bacco taxes.
China and England are the most
important foreign markets for
tobacco, England ranking
first in the amount bought, but
showing decline Of about one
eighth last year, while China in
creased its purchase of American
cigarettes by IS per cent last year.
England bought 100000 pounds
of American tobacco, and China
bought 100000 pounds.
Exports to Great Britain have
fallen because British colonies are
producing large quantities of tobac-
co. Spain bought little last year,
but is expected to resume buying.
France, the Netherlands, Germany.
Belgium and the Scandinavian
countries bought more last year than
ever before, but the markets of
Italy and Poland are practically
closed to the United States. Trade
with France more than doubled last
year.
Virginia Grade Losing Ground
Dark Virginia tobacco has been
consistently losing ground in foreign
markets since 1928, when exports
in value to so3,0OO,0O
whereas in 1926 they amounted to
only 100000.
The flue-cured variety represent
ed 60 per cent of the total exports
last year 43 per cent of the produc-
ton, and 60 per cent of the farm
value.
AS compared with 1928, the num-
Der of persons employed in tobac-
co manufactured in the United
States declined IA per cent. and
the amount of the payroll declined
12.S per cent. The decline has been
steady since 1928.
The leaf tobacco crop last year
was l,3c3,3Ss.oo0 pounds, with a
farm value of s245.175. 900 The
average yield per acre in 1926 was
795 pounds. as compared with 7S3
pounds in 1925.
Seven billion cigars were manu-
featured last year in this country,
and 4l0,o76,o00 pounds of manu-
featured tobacco and snuff

hound had been the personal prop

gazing adoringly. To me, the at

over the animal which Miss Lincoln
had evidenced were sufficient proof
of her ownership.

how that she spoke only the truth.
And I never saw one which would
not obey me whether I owned it or
not"
I found il harder to believe this
embroidering of her first assertion.
But the behavior of the dog. Fedor.
certainly bore out her assertion. As
docilely as perfectly trained hous-
cog he sprang down from the car
and with only q light touch of her
hand upon the leash which she had
picked up he followed her across the
platform to the car where the auto
