New York, May 25.-The opening days of the Belmont races were per- feet. Belmont Park was in it's love- Hest green, the paddock velvet turfed the huge trees in full leaf, and the little lane down the side Of the stables was spring itself with fragrant magnolias.
 In spite of the fact that the Ken lucky Derby took it's toll of social lights. a majority of the little iron chairs in the enclosure were full, there was such excitement after each race that you could hardly hear the haunting melodies that the Ha- waiians played in the tiled Palm Garden under the grand stand, and the paddock. between races. was fill ed with smartly clad folks.
 ColOrs Run a Close Race
 Blues, soft beiscs. tans with touches of red or orange and deli cate greens predominated in colors women wore. Only few all whites rushed the season. One or two in- trepid souls wore silk tfocks with chic furs. leaving their topcoats in their cars. katherin" Tod had a sweet medium blue flat crepe frock. with new rear and side peplum effect. of pleated material, with the front width plain.
 The variety one can achieve this season was shown in the way blue

Mrs. Lloyd Schultz has a dotted ensemble frock with circular skirt. three-quarters coat and bow trim in dark plain fabric. Mrs. William G. McAdoo's polka dotted suit had a pleated frock with lingerie touches and flaring three-quarters coat. Mrs. John R. Fell wore cute short jacket suit of the popular dots. with the frilled jabot of her chiffon blouse outside the coat. and Mrs. William Wright wore double-tiered dotted frock with self-tie and her blue hat band ed in the dots.

THE BED OF PRoCRUsTEs
By Alice Judson Peale


 In Greek mythology there is story about a man called Procrustes whose pleasant custom it Uas to in- vite travellers to.spend the night at his home.
 All his guests were made to sleep upon a certain iron bed. If they were too short for it. he stretched their limbs until they fit. If they were too long, he Topped of DOT tion.
 Procrustes hardly could be classed as an educator. Nor is that parent an educator who tries to fit his children to his own standards by a method similar to that of Procrus- tcs.
 The parent in whose mind "disci- pline" always is uppermost. who is drastic in his repressions of behavior which seems undesirable to him and admamant in his demands of per formance on the part of the child. is attaining conformity quite in the manner of Procrustes of the iron bed.
 Children cannot he nodded into any desired shape by sheer force of will. They can only follow the flaws of their own growth. We who have assumed the role of parents must

 Dicky's protesting. annoyed voice can,e clearly to me as he hurried iato the lower hall in Katie's wake.
 Are you sure he asked for me. Katie?" hs queried impatiently.
 yah! Yah. tell you dot be- fore." Katie retorted. adding with an impudence which I hoped was unconscious. ''I tink dot way. too. first ting. tell heem call Meesis Graham und he say. No. Meester. so I coon get you"
 Dicky muttered something under his breath which I guessed con. signed both Katie and Mir. VeritzeD to far distant and undesirable re. gions, but aloud he spoke in the for,na! manner which usually re- duces our little maid to pulp.

An, age-old feminine instinct told me that Dicky was calling me to the telephone instead of Lillian because ha wished 10 show me his indiffer- ence. toward Philip Veritzen's asso- cjation with me.

 Peter settled himself to wait in patience, but his patience was not rewarded Of course. there was no way for him to know that they had left the nest for good. but that is what they had done.

tho superstition persists that the drinking of cows milk fresh from the udder is not only extremely property of curing consumption.
 The COW and the bull have been worshiped by primitive races for thousands Of years. The symbol oi Osiris. god of the Egyptians. was a bull and Isis was usually repre- scented by the COW. In ancient Egyptian processions during the
New Britain herald., 1929-05-25

feast of Isis, the COW was fellevsd by young giris consecrated to. tho service of heaven and carrying baskets of holy cakes. round with . hole in the center, to represent the function of motherhood. Among the Hindus the COW. is still sacrod animal associated with the idea of rebirth.
 Milk has always been considered a potent food and remedy. Indeed. it is today generally recognised that among foods. milk is perhaps the most complete food available.
 In the middle ages consumption was considered to be due to witch craft and was treated with butter made from the milk of COWS fed in church yards.
 Among British peasants today goats milk is still considered to be of special virtue for tuberculosis and 30 strong is the empirical opinion, that it is alleged that chill dren should be fed with goats milk because the goat does not have tuberculosis as often as the COW.
 The actual fact of the matter is of course, that milk fresh from the COW or in any other way is not cure for tuberculosis. It is valu- able food in tuberculosis, of course, or in any other disease.
 Because the COW not infrequently has tuberculosis, unpasteuriEed milk or milk from cows that have not been tested for tuberculosis is a menace and may actually spread the disease. The path of safety therefore lies in drinking only milk that has been certified or pasteur- ized. Under such circumstances. it may prevent tuberculosis by in- creasing weight, improving nutri- ton and building resistance against the disease.

DiDser and Mn. Grebe succe1st fully kept their secret. Not eveN Billy Mink discovered 1t. which wal . vety fortunate thing. Billy woul( have enJ0yed . meal of those d1 s6gS, Whenever Mrs. Grebe left the nAst .ts 70 leok for food. she care-' faliy covered the esEs just as she had done that time when startled by fstsf Rabbit. As for Peter, he hal gtvea up looking for that nest. You sss, tAere were many other things to take his attention and interest him, and for . while he quite forgot the 0rebes. In fact. for some time hs didn't even visit the Smiling Pool, Then early one morning. al- nest three weeks from the day when he had seen Mrs. Grebe's nest with out knowing it. he happened to be over iu that neishborhood. He re- membered how he had thought he had found the nest and decided he would have another look at that mound of dead out reeds in the water.
 T wonder if Mrs. Grebe still uses il. to sit on thought Peter. She must have been just resting there that morning when I saw her. He approached the place very carefully. There was that little mound of rushes and dead grass and meas out in the water and there was Mrs. Grebe. She wasn't on the nest. but she was close by it. It struck Peter that she looked very proud and at the same time very anxious. She vas both. You see. very important event had taken place that morning. The last of the six eges had matched. In that nest were eix ftny birds, covered with down. as . baby chicken is, or a baby duck. Peter couldn't see the babies. 70 ok course he didn't know what had Happened. Mrs. Grebe climbed up on the edge of the nest. Peter moved. in order to be able to see better. Accidentally he stepped on very dry stick and it snapped. What ne saw then made his eyes fairly pop out.
 There was a sharp call, though a low one. from Mrs Grebe. Then out from that mound, into the wa ter. scrambled six downy little Grebea. They did not hesitate a sec ond. You never would have guessed mat 1t was their first venture into the water. They began 10 swim at once. just as if they had always been swimming. In two minutes they had disappeared behind their mother among the rushes.
 Well. I never" exclaimed Peter Rabbit to himself. That was Mrs. Gfebe's nest after all. And how such little babies can swim is more than can understand. Yes, sir. l wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen 1t. It is hard to believe now that I have seen it. They are such little fellows that it doesn't seen, safe Tor them to be in the water. Perhaps if I am patient they vii come back to the nest should like 10 see them again. I certainly should like to see them again. My, the, surely are cute little rascals. I won der how long it will be before they osn dive. should like to see them learn to dive. Dipper and Mrs Grebe are such wonderful divers that l. suppose the children will b. good divers. too. I do hope theynr come back and climb into that nest.
