She did not move toward me, and as I came nearer to her I had the queer little sense of something frightened and at bay confronting me. Yet there was nothing in her face or manner to justify the thought. But something away back iii her eyes made me feel that she was watchful and afraid.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. NORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the Americ n Medical Association and Of Hy-
 gCia the Health Mnpazine


 The symptoms of diabetes as seen In the child are about the same ss those Of grown-ups.
 Investigators are in doubt as to the exact cause for the tendency to oVefgrowth in the iabetic chil- dren. The disease Is known 10 re- suit from q disorder of one Of the glands of internal secretion in the human body known as the pam creas.
 It is also generally well realized that when one of the glands with in the body is disordered, there are likely to be disturbances of the others. In fact, the glands of internal secretion are known to be 8 sort of interlocking sys- tenn.
 Dr. Priscilla White, who studied number of diabetic children, points out that the influence of these glands on the growth of the body and on it's weight is best shown at two periods. Early ma turity in girls means that the growth in heights is near it's end, whereas delayed maturity is asso- cated with growth above the av- craze.
 It is also known that the woman who has ceased to bear children tends to become over weight after the age of 45.
 Diabetes in grown-ups appears in most instances after the age of 50. whereas 1t appears in children, in about one-half of the cases, be- tween the ages of 10 and 15.
 The average age of the onset Of diabetes in children was 13.G years, the age definitely associated with transition from youth to ma turity. It is possible that the over height of the diabctic child is as- sociated with some disorde- of the pituitary gland, which is known 10 have I definite relation ship to giantism.

feeling that things were not as they should be. Instantly he became suspicious. He began to use his nose on that tree trunk, and pres ently he caught a very faint wh.ff of a scent which he recognized.
 My cousin Chatterer has been here,' he muttered under his breath. Then he stared long and hard at that little round entrance. If Chatterer has been here. he las found those beechnuts," thought he. If he has found those beech nuts it is useless to look for them Up there. I think I'll keep away for a while"
 And so it was that the suspicious of Timmy saved him from the fright that Chatterer had planned for him.

VOTE FOR DISTRICT
TOP|CAT MEETING
Hope for Enfranchisement
Held Out at League of
Voters Session.

Hope for enfranchisement OF the
District of Columbia was held out by
Miss Belle Sherwin. president of the
National League of Women Voters,
late yesterday afternoon in an address
at the seasons opening session Of the
Voteless District of Columbia League
of Women Voters, held at the home
of Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, 1915 Rhode
Island avenue, with national officers
as guests. Miss Sherwin advocated
the encouragement Of women serving
as jurors, seeing in the Fall-Sinclalr
trial a focusing of interest on this
point as two women are in the jury
box.
The national president suggested
that the local league might be of
greater service by instituting an alb
sent voters bureau. to give informa-
ton TO those in the Capital who ballot
by mail.
Defends Direct Primary.
"The way of the unenfranchised is
hard" Miss Sherwin declared. Il
have realized that particularly since
| living in the District. 1 have hopes,
us you will have your wish realized
! the sooner the better"
| The speaker warmly defended the
| direct primary. seeing in the vote OF
nearly two to one by which Maine
chose to retain the direct primary in
| Tuesdays election another index Of the
popularity of the direct primary. She
attributed no small share for this TO
the efforts of the National and Maine
Leagues of the organization.
Mrs. Edward p. Costigan, president
OF the local group, presided at the
session. A business meeting was held
in the library of Mrs. Pinchot's home.
Guests of Honor at Session.
With Miss Sherwin. other guests OF
| honor were Miss Mary o. Cowper OF
