lGadoe Repeats Msry's Refusal to
 Noel
 The echo of Mary Harrison's rnockins voice went with me down the stajrcase as l carried her inex- pitcable refusal to see Noel Veritzen back to the anxious young man waiting on the veranda for the girls answer to his request.
 What was the real reason for hei action: That was the question which kept repeating itself all the way down the stair Way. took no more stock in her explanation that the young mans persistence upset her so tha. she could not work than ] did in Eleanor Linooln's assertion that Noel had coAfided to her Mary's treatment of him. But while the truth or faisity of Miss Lincoln's as- sartion did not trouble me at all, l was filled with wondering anxiety over Mary's attitude. Neither the coauetry which had led her to &C., cept young Jack sons attentions nor her piqne over Noel's continued ab- sence from the farmhouse and his rumored attentions to Miss Lincoln was a sufficient reason for the rude ness of her flat refusal to see the young violnist
 I felt as though had hold of an apparently tangled skein of yarn. In which, if I only could grasp it. iere was . loose end which properly pulled would unravel the whole thing. But it eluded me and was forced to the conclusion that pique 1t Noel was the mainspring Of Mary's action. ...
 Noel sprang to his feet as l came out on the veranda, and Lillian. after . quick. shrewd glance at my face, murmured some perfunctory excuse and disappeared into ths house. But l knew that she would stand guard to see that no one in- terrupted our colloquy.

 Medical Association and of lily.
 geia, the Health Magazine
 A committee of distinguished phy- sicians and public health officials organized under tho name. The Committee to Study the Tobacco Problem" has just issued under tts auspices a review of current scien- tific knowledge of tobacco by Dr. Pierre Schrumpf- -Pierron of the Uni versity of Cairo.
 In general. his conclusions support those of most scientific investigators relative to the apparent harmless ness Of tobacco smoking in modera- tion and the apparent seriousness of tobacco smoking in excess.
 Tobacco's By-I'u<iuets
 The chief poison existing in totac- co is nicotine, but there are other by-products such as wood alcohol, carbon monoxide, ammonia. for maldehyde, and similar substances, ''one of which are apparently pres. ent in sufficient quantities to pro- duce damage unless the smoking ta oyerdone.
 It is. Of course. possible that the combination of these ingredients may exert serious effects which the 1 individual poisons do not exert in the dosages taken.
 Acute tobacco poisoning is ma rked by paleness. dizziness. faintness sweating. and muscular weakness Similar symptoms are associated with chronic tobacco poisoning. and there may be also mental depression ! nervous disturbances and nerve in. l flammation.
 Heart Disturbances Particularly important is the re, lationship of tobacco smoking to dis. turbances Of the heart. For this req SOIL practically all physicians for, bid the smoking of tobacco 10 those with angina pectoris or disturbances in the rhythm of the heart. Amona ot her disturbances smoking ma, I produce a chronic laryngitis ol l hOa rSeneSS
 l Smoking may interfere with tho appetite, and indeed, many womer who are dieting prefer to smoke be. tore meals so IS to destroy the cray. ing for food, Since smoking alst l 1eadens the sense of taste. it inter. feres in that manner with the ap. petite.
 Like Alcohol Problem His review of the literature cause. Dr. Schrumrf Plerrcn to believe thai the tobacco problem is the same a, that of alcohol. A sound individua may take what IS for him moder. ate dose without injury. The sams dose. however. may be serious fol someone who IS ill or for another sound individual who is influenced by smaller doses.
 The moderate use Of tobacco seems 10 bring on a series of dis. turhances which lend to become worse and which may be serious.

 Her aim was poor. and it might have broken against the window sill or on tho floor. but at that sec- ond Pat started scross the kitchen and 1t caught him squarely upon the right arm. just above the elbow.
 He never made . sound. But his lips frightened back across his teeth and he fell back against the wall with his left hand clutching the bandages and the splints. "Pat-Pat! I've hurt you! I've broken your arm again! Ooh. my rotten temper!" Lilly walled, seeing what she had done instantly. She rushed to him and tried to put her arms around him, but he shook her off.
 "lt's all right! It's nothing" hs said to her. and walked into the liv- ing room, still holding his arm above the elbow. A few minutes afterward Lily heard him go out of the house. He came home an hour and a half later in a taxicab, and his face was white to the lips
 ''The Doc set it again. I've heen down to the hospital" he said. bare ly looking at her. Did I break it with that hottle?" Lily asked. wringing her hands in agony that was absolutely real. Did I? Oh, Pat. tell me I didn't" l Don't think about it," was all Pat would answer. It was almost Christmas before he could use his arm at all again. mas eye that Lily had the surprise of her life.

 Ths rseult is always friction.
 Old Mother Nature. That Is the trouble with gossip. It would be bad enough if it stuck to the truth, when the truth is bad. but when 1t includes fiction, telling thines that are not 50, there is bound to be trouble sooner or later There h only one safe way to gossip and that is to listen and say nothing. Speckles the Gtarling had been living in the Old Orchard, or near it. for long time. He never had been welcome among the other birds. None liked him. He was as unpopu- lar as Bully the English Sparrow. All his feathered neighbors resented his presence there. It was because they all knew that Speckles the Startling doesn't belong in this country any moro than does Bully thea English Sparrow. If he had been the best neighbor ever was none would have admitted 1t. He was an outsid- er and he wasn't wanted, and that was all there was to if.
 So you can guess that when they talked him over 1t was mostly to say unpleasant things about him. Did you ever see such a pig?' said Sam my Jay. as they watched Speckles gobbling bits of bread which Mother Brown had thrown out.
 He may be .. pig while he's eat ing" said Drummer the Woodpeck : CT slyly. but I notice that when his stomach is full he stops eating. he doesn't carry it away"
 He would if he were thrifty" de- clared Sammy Jay virtuously. Its because I'm thrifty that store food"
 'Huh:" exclaimed Chstferer the Red Squirrel who happened along just then. T call it greed. If you stored 1t away in a storehouse ii might be thrift. But you hide fl here and hide it there all over the cd Orchard, where you can't find it yourself and nobody else can. That's what call greed"
 Well. what has all this 10 do with sreckles the Starling?" asked Tank Tank the Nuthatch. He may be greedy. all right, and I dare say he ts. but there are so many othe, greedy people that don't think any

 You've said it!" declared Drum mer the Woodpecker. That fellow hasn't any manners at all. He just simply isn't decent. The fact Is. don't know good thing about him. '' "Oh, yes. you dol" broke in Tom my Tit the Chickadee. Yes you do. Drummer. You know very we'll that he's good whistler. l Drummer grudgingly confessed 1 that this was so. He had 10. for tha very minute Speckles was whistline over in Farmer Browns dooryard and his whistle was good to hear. "l expect" continued Tommy. that it the truth were known there is a lot Of good in Speckles. Huh" said Sammy Jay. "1f there is he has managed to keep it well hidden"
 "Perhaps you don't see it because you don't want to see it, said Tom my Tit and lodged behind the trunk
