Dicky IndAlges in . Little Subte
 6aatee at the Expease of Aadsc'
 Whe ua1 No Chance to Explain
 Curieusly enough. at the sight O. picky coming through the door or the seaside ann where Philip Verit- sea and I had just had tea. 1t was not of my husband's anger l first thought, but of the fulfillment Of my little premonition that something unpleasant for me lurked in the inn near where Prince Georges had been shet. Indeed. I could imagine few more disagreeable things than the domestic storm visualized when picky should have an opportunity to empty the '-vials of wrath" from which I was sure the corks were al- ready slipping.
 But it was a face masked with brilliant if perfunctory, smile which looked at us when the door had closed behind him and We met him face to face.
 "'I.o! rladger' he said. How are you, Veritzeno You've just return- cd. I take it."
 His voice was crisp, even cheery. but there was subtle intonation in the last words which conveyed an additional comment to me. If he had said to my companion: "You're lost no time,' his meaning could not have been clearer.
 MT. Veritzens face was imper- turbable.
 Yes, just got back this morn ing" he said. Ito find that Inys- terious disappearance act had been staged by my family and friends. Mrs. Graham has just been kind enough to explain it all to me over aome tea. Have you ever tried the tea here? It is most excellent?"
 "Oh! yes. this is one of my fla varite hang-outs." Dicky returned with apparent casualness. but a fur tive glance-I dared not look at him openly-showed me the deeply etched lines at The side of his lips and nostrils. sure indications that he was putting powerful restraint upon his temper. And you are fortunate in having Mrs. Graham explain things. She is the greates, little explainer in the business-bar none-a most plausible and convinc- ing-explainer."
 Trouble in the Air
 His halt before the last word was slight but pregnant. If he had used the ''direct and ugly word" itself he could not have been more emphatic. I threw up my head with the same anger and need for defense would have felt at a stiletto thrust.
 Thanks so much, Dicky. for the

KEEP OFF THE GRASS
 RN llicA luAaon Paala


 The sign Keep off the Grass meant less than nothing to eight year-old Burke. He ran over newly seeded lawns and walked with large feet in the freshly cultivated flower beds of the neishborhood. People scolded him and reported him to his mother. recommending violent measures.
 She explained to him about the growing seeds. about the amount of work and money it took to make the gardens pretty in the summer. But Burke was not impressed. Re- proofs and penalties also were tried with no more success. Burke, in quest of his ball or in the midst of game. was oblivious of conse- quences.
 Finally his mother decided to try the experiment of giving him gar den of his own. She presented him the responsibility of making attrac- tive a certain bare corner of the yard. She showed him how to pre- pare the ground and plant the seeds.
 He seeded his lawn. put up a Keep off the Grass" sign of his own, and every day went out to see how his grass was coming. He plant ed nasturtiums and petunias and at tributed their subsequent rank growth to his own skill and assidu- ous care.
 His trespassing on neighborhood lawns ceased. Instead he gazed with interest and respect at the achieve

It was over at the Smiling Pool that Peter Rabbit received one of the greatest surprises of his life. Pe- ter thought he knew all the water folk. Of course, he didn't. He didn't begin to know all of them, because there are many. very many, who do not visit the Smiiing Pool, or the pend of Paddy the Beaver. or even the Big River. But Peter knew MT. and Mrs Quack. Beauty the Wood Duck and Mrs. Wood Duck. Mir. ana Mrs. Black Duck. Honker the 0oo4e and his flock. Teeter the e4ndpiper, Rattles the Kingfisher. Lontbill the Woodcock and Red wing the Blackbird. all of whom ara found on or near the water. He saw all these feathered folk every spring and some of them every fall. 70 whenever he visited the Smiling Pool. the Laughing Brook or the pond or Paddy the Beaver, he ex- rected to see some one of these folk. There were two others that he often saw too. and these were Long, legs the Great Blue Heron and Quack the Night Heron. But he never expected to see any one else among the feathered folk.
 So perhaps you can imagine his surprise when one spring morning. as he sat peeping out from behind . bunch of grass. to see total stranger swim out from the Laugh ing Brook into the Smiling Pool. The stranger seemed 10 be very much at home or the water It made not attempt to come ashore. At first Peter took it to be half-srown Duck.
 T wonder where that young Duck came from said Peter 10 Grandfather Frog, who happened 10 be close by on a green lilypad.
 Grandfathr Frog loked up "1 don't see any young Duck" said he.
 Then there must be something wrong with your eyes, Grandfather Frog" declared Peter. There he is swimming over where the Laughing Brook leaves the Smiling Pool"
 "Chug- -a-rum," exclaimed Grand father Frog. "Chug -a-rum. That doesn't look like Duck to me. When did you ever see a Duck with . bill like that?''
 Peter looked very intently and a queer expression stole over his face. I never have seen Duck with a bill like that he confessed In stead of being broad and flat. this fellows bill is pointed. But he swims like Duck and if if were not for that bill he would look like a Duck. Do you know who he is. Grandfather Frog"
 Just then the stranger swan over CEtil he was right under where Peter was sitting. Hello. Grandfath- CT Frog" said the stranger.
 Hello. Dipper." replied Grand father Frog. What are you doing here?"
 Just looking around" replied the stranger.
 Just then Peter Rabbit poked his head out from behind the grass. Tn the twinkiine Of an eye the stranger had disappeared. Peter sat up and stared. There was no trace of the stranger anywhere Where has he Son. ?'' cried Pettr,

 The notion that typhoid fever comes from fish in drinking water. from dead weeds, or from similar communications. is a relic of the dark age before the discoveries of Pas teur.
 He proved that bacteria arc re- sponsible for infectious diseases of the type Of typhoid fever. In the fifth century, B. C., writers described continued levers of the same nature as typhoid and in the middle ages some physicians wrote descriptions of eases which are easily identifiad today as ty- phoid fever.
 After Pasteur made his import ant announcements in fs7S-1s79. a German scientist. Eberth. found a short germ in the tissue of per- sons who has died of typhoid fever. Four years later. another investigator named Gaffky got the germ out of the tissue and made it grow. Thus he established deft- nitely the fact that typhoid fever is caused by the germ.
 The next step in the investiga- ton was 10 find out how this germ spreads from one person to another. because the germ must get into the intestinal tract before one develops the disease. It was soon found that the typhoid or ganism is spread by sewage pass ing out Of the human body and contaminating food, water and milk.
 The lower animals do not be- come infected with the typhoid organism. but they can carry it about in their bodies and spread it through contaminating food supplies Some people who re- cover from typhoid fever carry the germs about in their bodies and act aa typhoid carriers. Flies serve as carriers of infection.
 In the combat against typhoid fever, modern scientific medicine controls the condition by elim- mating flies; by controlling milk. water and food supplies. and by proper treatment of the typhoid carrier. When a person is sick with typhoid fever, all his excre- tions are disinfected before they are disposed of.
 It the battle against infectious diseases. the greatest enemy that science has to overcome is igno- rance and superstition. As long as there are people who believe that typhoid fever is due to dead weeds and fish in the water the attempt to control the disease by scientific sanitation will be difficult
