Silver Fox Distinct Breed

There are distinct breeds of black
and silver foxes. Silver foxes are
freak of nature, but the breeding Of
them has been carried to such a point
that they are now an established
breed. Silver foxes are worth much
more than black foxes owing to the
fact that red foxes can be dyed black
whereas there is no way of camouflag-
ing silver foxes. The raising of silver
foxes has been carried on for close
to forty years.

Who's to Be Boss?

The ambition of many young girls
is to gain the mastery over the men
they marry. In Sweden, the bride
tries to see her groom first, and puts
her right foot in front of his during
the ceremony. She also takes care
that she stands so close to him that
nothing can squeeze between-not
even a ray of light! In this way she
thinks she solves the problem of which
one shall be "masterful" in the home.

"PUNINESS" OF BOYS
HELD ONLY NATURAL
Girls Plumper to Save Them
From Discomfort, Says
Expert.

While the experts at the Empire
health week were quite sanguine as to
the future of little girls, they were
rather doubtful about the boys. Prof
Leonard Hill, when questioned by a
London Daily Herald reporter, said un-
hesitatingly, THE modern girl is
abounding in health" But asked for
his opinion of the modern boy, he med
itates, coughs and finally delivers the
full-of-meaning remark, The boy
should generally take to the custom of
the Boy Scout
Evidently it is the professors belief
that the girl is in process of becoming
a glorious young goddess by the simple
plan of gradually approximating her
clothing to the traditional minimum
worn by goddesseS. The boy, on the
other hand, is going the other way.
1t is a common observation that the
small girls of 1929 are much better
built than the small boys A doctor
had, however, words of encouragement
for the male child.
Tommy need not worry II he is
SKINNER than his sister," he said 1T
is a way nature has. Little girls are
always plumper than little boys; that is
in order to make them little less dis
contented because they are little girls
instead of little boys"
All the same. there is much sense in
Prof. Hill. When you consider the mess
an average healthy small boy gets into
in the course Of a day-well don't you
agree that simple washable clothes
would be a boon?
The health Of the next generation is
mainly matter Of fresh air, free exer-
else and-soap."

TRACE SWEDISH COLONY
Early Settlement on Delaware An
tedated Penn's Indian Policy.

From the Providence Journal.
Members of the Swedish Colonial
Society have been looking up the de-
tails of the Swedish efforts to settle the
land along the Delaware River and as a
result have succeeded in finding the
original draft of the Instructions
which Queen Christiana of Sweden is
sued to Johan PrintZ when he was
about to become the governor of New
Sweden on the banks of the Delaware
River.
The paper is extremely valuable and
interesting. since it easily ranks with
Penn's Frame of Government" Penn's
peaceful policy toward the Indians was
anticipated by 40 years. They had in
view the gradual evangelization OF
the Indians, the winning Of their con-
fidence and the securing of their CO.
operation. Good will and kindness were
to be shown to the few scattered Dutch
and English settlers.
