 T certainly do," replied Boomer. Docs Prickly Porky know it?'' asked Bobby.
 How should know" replied Boomer. I've never asked him." Does this cousin of his look like Prickly Porky?" continued Bobby.
 "Yes and mo-" replied Boomer.
 "What do you mean by that?" de- manded Bobby.
 Well" replied Boomer, "he has q prickly coat. but he has a long tail" Bobby pricked up his little round ears at that. Did you say long tail?" he cried.
 Isn't your hearing good to- niEht?" asked Boomer politely.
 Its perfect replied Bobby. But who ever heard of a Poorcupine with a long tsl?''
 You've heard Of it now" retort cd Boomer.
 Is that long tail covered with lt- tie spears?" inquired Bobby.
 Tt isn't covered with anything but skin" replied Boomer.
 But Prickly Porky's is" said Bobby That is the most danger ous part of Prickly Porky. If yo,l keep away from his tail you will keep out of trouble. Prickly PorkV fights with his tail. So his cousin down there has a long tail? Well well. well! With long tail he must be able 10 fight even better than Prickly Porky"

 Bobby looked puzzled, What does he want to hang onto branches for :? Prickly Porky doesn't hang onto branches"
 Well. Prickly Porky isn't Prickly Porky's cousin" replied Boomer dryly. There is no more reason why he shouldn't have long tail than there is why your cousin.

Paris, April 6-When I first show cd hats in my establishment my sole idea was 10 add a further accessory to dress, to complete an entirely harmonious ensemble. of which the hat is necessarily the fourth place.
 It had occurred to me about that time that were I a modiste it would be an easy matter to complete a certain dress by just the right type of hat and 1 also had in mind a very definite type of shoe which would be a fitting accompaniment. As far as the shoes are concerned. l had a bootier carry out my ideas, but l decided that the hats would be made under my direct superyi- sion. for the temptation was too strong. It proved an amusing novel; ty at first but as time went on it became more than an amusement and novelty. The more I studied the possibilities of this new field, the more it opened new vistas to me.

Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and Of Hygcia. the Health Magazine.

More and more American investi- gators are beginning to find import ant a study of the parasites that in- wade the bodies of human beings. The division of medical sciences of the National Research Council has worked out an arrangement whereby the American Child Health association will support an extended investigation of the way in which the common round worm attacks the child in the United States. This worm has been known as parasite of man since the time or Aristotle.
 When it invades tho intestines it It deposits an enormous number Of eggs which pass out of the body and develop.
 Mostly Children
 The preliminary investigations made by Prof. w. w. Cort. who has charge Of the department of helmin- l thology, which means worm investi- sation, in the Johns Hopkins Univer- sity, indicates that the worms are l primarily associated with children, and indeed that children are infested about five times as often as adults. Recent studies seem to show that the worms may attack the lungs as well as the intestines and some phy- sicians are of the opinion that strange lung conditions in children may be due to the passage of the worms through the lungs. The worms that attack children particu- larly are the whipworm and the hookworm.
 Studies its Habits
 Among the problems that the new commission plans to investigate. iii addition 10 the manner in which the ascaris or round worm may attack the lungs. are the various factors iH it's development, the way in which children become infected. the influ. ence of climate on the growth Of the worms and on their spread. and the exact role of the pig in disseminat' ing the disease to the human body.
 A form of infestation with wormi of a similar type occurs in pigs. and many students of the subject think that the disease in the pig is simi. lar to that in the human.

A Letter to Young Vices

DIFFICULT FOR A NAN THAN
FOR A WOMAN.
FOR MARRIAGE Is A WO-
MANS NATURAL JOB.
BUT TT ISN'T A MANS NAT.
URAL JOB.
Motherhood is the normal full
fillment of a woman's life. All
her instincts tend toward mother
hood. Having babies is a long
time job. Mothers need protec-
ton and providers in order to put
that job over properly. So women
needed marriage, and invented
BUT MEN DIDN'T NEED
MARRIAGE.
Being papa was necessarily a
longtime job. It could be and
originally was an extremely tran.
sient, carefree proposition.
MARRIAGE Is AN ACQUIRED
HABIT WITH MEN-LIKE EAT
ING OLIVES-AND MANY OF
THEM ACQUIRE IT WITH
GREAT DIFFICULTY.
That's why really fine young
men like Fred are often restless
and inconsiderate, Lois. Fred isn't
a villain. He's simply a normal
male kicking occasionally at an
uncongenial harness. You'll have
to break your husband to har-
ness much as you'd break frac-
tious colt-and nagging and cry
ing won't hasten the process, lit
tie sister.
Yes. 1 know you'd like to kick,
too. realize that you often want
"a good time" as much as Fred
does. But in spite Of that, you're
really getting more out Of mar.
riage than Fred is, and you take
it more naturally than he does.
Try to remember that the next
time Fred stays down town to
stag dinner with Jim and Bill.
Your loving friend,

And yet-there's another side to

You say that Fred is really a
fine fellow and that you suppose
you love him as much as you did

He's so selfishi He likes to stay

you like IAN old Shoe" m some
times you wonder if he really
cares any more for you and the

A long, hurty list OF troubles,
Lois dear, but not new one. Al
most every young wife faces the
same trouble and feels just as
badly about it as you, do.

Now don't begin to tell me how
much you work and how tiresome
