penSeS incident to maintenance. in
Guiding depreciation at the rate of
20 per cent per annum, may be de-
Quoted. Where the car is used
Chiefly" or more than so per cent
for business and incidentally for
pleasure, the expense may be de-
Quoted on pro rata basis.
Fifth, loss sustained by reason of
damage to a passenger automobile

ductible
Sixth, the bureau has ruled that
where a motOriSt paid damages for
injury 10 a pedestrian, such amount
IS dedUctible, provided at the time
the injury occurred the car was be-
ing used for business. There has
never been a decision, however on
whether a fine paid by q mOtorist

stated that in no case is the amount

of age do not know how to swim. and are thereby deprived of tho pleasure to be derived from a vaca. ton at the lake or the beach. or in some fine indoor swimming pool.
 In q consideration of the ad- rantages of swimming. written for Hygeia. Dr.. Claude r. Fordyce points out that swimming hits the weakest points in the average ss. dentarian, his lungs and abdo- men, and results in an even de- velopment of every muscle in the body without undue strain of any particular one.
 Swimming provides the proper exercise to take off weight, and the necessary deep breathing pro- vides stimulation for the heart and the lungs. When one swims where there are waves the buffet ing acts as stimulating massage.
 Certain precautions are neces- say if swimming is to be safe. One should not enter the water while overloaded. It is not de- sirable to swim soon after . meal.
 The danger from cramp Of the muscles while one swims is not from the cramp. but from the panic that ensues. Because of the panic the swimmer gives up. If the water is cool one should stay in the pool or in the water at the beach but 10 or Is min- utes. Whenever cramp occurs the muscle should be rubbed gently. If the teeth chatter and if the skin turns blue the swim mer should come out of the water immediately and take sufficient exercise to warm up.
 When person goes under wa ter for a period long enough to become unconscious, first aid measures are of the greatest im- portance as means of saving life. The instructions given by the American Red Cross should be repeated again and again:
 Lay the patient on his stomach. Extend one arm directly over his head. Bend the other arm at the elbow and rest the patients cheek on his hand. to keep the nose and mouth off the ground and free for

 "Yes. but he isn't the fellow we're laying for" Mr. Underwood said more patiently than he usually sub mits to questioning. But l k.sw that the innate chivalry oI .s- man was intrigued by Olina's plight. Hes just another one coming in to spy out the land. The clerk sent for me because he asked for . bal- cony room high up. Now of course that's most natural reQuess- they're the charm of the old place but still I want to see everyone who makes such a request. And the minute I lamped this foreign looking chap l put him down as one of their lookouts. They are al- together too foxy to keep the real killer around here any longer than is necessary"

 Olina shivered again, and l saw that Mary's face was colorless and strained. That Lillian swa what did realized when she spoke 10 her husband peremptorily:
 That's enough creepiness for one day." she said. Are you leav- ing that fellow up there alone?"

 Isn't there danger for MT. Un- derwood up there now alone??' she asked.
 Not a bit now" Lillian answer- ed cheerily, and wondered how much she was stretching the truth. She would have given the same an- swer. L knew, if she had known that her husband faced the danger of death on his trip to the tiger trap"

Ilse Kine&ns stast Nfbblins at the
 se10ee Trap" Bait
 When Harry Underwood had gone from the room. obeying the tele. phoned call from the hotel office there settled upon the rest of us one of those silences which are de- scribed as capable of being felt. The remark flung back over his shoulder that they think they have . nibble at the bait" brought home to thu rest of them. l think as to me. the seriousness of the situation which confronted us. Towering around this old fashioned hotel were birds Of prey bent upon the life of Prince Georges and perhaps on Mary's as we'll. The plans for foil- ing them appeared to be flawless, but I knew the possibilities that something unforeseen might deliver their intended victims into their hands.
 We spoke but little, indeed, while he was gone. and when he came back after a long interval our only words were tense queries as to what had happened.
 They're flirting with the bait" he said. although they haven't taken 1t yet. You see, the hotel h prepared for anything. and they have arranged place for me so that I can see anyone who comes in to apply for . room. l have a pretty good line on those fellows. and when ono of them appears l am going to signal the room clerk to give him the vacant room next to the tiger trap.
 "The circus began just after we got in," he went on. after pause. "A well-dressed young chap came in, asked for a room, registered, and-what the hotel people were an extra long time to write his name. He evidently was checking up on our party. the numbers of our rooms, and SO on. When he was taken to his room he said he didn't like it, tried to pick quarrel with the room clerk, refused any other room and departed, having served his mission. He'll never be seen around here again."
 You have us all registered un- der our right names?" Princess Olina asked with a gasp.
 A Barn Door Trail
 Not you and Prince Georges" MT. Underwood returned with a gallant little bow. You are regis tered as Miss Lincoln and Mir. Jackson. which are no disguise at all to the men hunting you. Nor do want them to be. Purposely have left trail as wide as the proverb- ial barn door. and they appear to be finding it."
 "1s there someone up there now?" Princess Olina asked with .

that when I saw that queer fellow in the shed and tried to catch him. l pulled off three Of his legs. I rot ! one the first time and two the sec ond time. and both times I noticed those kicking legs and -feard the squeaking. It's queer performance. Well, we cant stop and listen to these legs any longer; the babies | are crying for food"
 She spread her wings and off she went and Mir. Wren followed. Now that the mystery was solved, they no longer had any interest in it.
 And the mystery was solved, for the House Centipede does have legs that squeak after they are pulled off. They do not squeak before, but afterward. They kick and squeak and so draw the attention of . possible enemy away from their owner. who thus has a chance to escape. You know there is a Lizard l who throws off part of his tail, which twists and wiggles and thrashes about while its owner es- capes.

Jenny Wren had forgotten all about the House Centipede she had twice tried to catch in the shed sack of Farmer Browns house. The first time she had succeeded h merely pulling off one long leg. The second time she pulled off two legs.
 She was reminded of it. however when Mr. Wren came bringing a House Centipede which he had caught in the shed. Did you ever eee anything with so many long lees?" he asked.
 "Yes," said she. That Is exactly like that queer insect tried to catch and told you about. Where did you get it?''
 "In the shed" replied Mr. Wren
 "Well." said Jenny. T don't think the children will like all those legs"
 ''Then we'll pull them off," re- piled Mir. Wren.
 10 they pulled off the long legs. killed the Centipede and fed 1t to one of the babies. ''Listen!" said Jenny. DO you remember that funny little squeak in the shed when we couldn't find any insect any where around?"
 "Of course I remember it." re- plSsd MT. Wren. who was sitting with his head cooked to one side. hear 1t this instant"
 '6o do l." said Jenny.
 Both sat with their heads cooked to one side. You know the ears Of Birds are very keen. They can hear what you and might not be able to hear. The tiny squeak that would sound very faint to you and me would be much more easily heard by Jenny Wren. Just now she was hearing not one squeak often re- peated, but many squeaks.
 Look at those legs." said Mir. Wren suddenly. "One might think they were alive the way they are kicking"
 Jenny looked at the legs they had pulled from the House Centi : pede. All those legs were kicking just as if they were alive. Just then Mr. Wren flew down close to one Of them and cooked his head to on. side. Then he hopped over to an- other and did the same thing There was funny expression on his face as he looked up at Jenny Wren. My dear. said he, "here are your squeaking insects
 What do you mean?" Jenny asked.
 T mean that it is these legs that are making the squeaking that we thought was made by insects" re- rliei Mir. Wreu.
 "Who ever heard of such d thing" cried Jenny.

THE VISION Ry Alice Judson Peale

At an exhibit of children's paint ings recently held at a modern school there was life size picture of a 10-year- girl.
 It represented . slim brown maid en rising from the chalice -. an opening flower. About nsr body budding vines twisted upward and from her head rose circle of bright flame.
 The picture was childishly out of proportion. The body was unsym- metrical and quite unanatomical. The arms were long. Yet with all its imperfectiona the picture suggested real beauty.
 Perhaps the reason was that the vision which the child had tried to put on paper was in . profound sense her own and sprang from the munitions of her growing girlhood. She had had the courage to express that inner vision and the courage to let it stand with all the imperfec- tions of execution.
 Only rarely do children thus truly do creative work. The fault is ours. The drive for a perfect result is the will-o' -the-w wisp that his mis. led many . loving parent and many an otherwise inspiring teacher.
 We see . child at work and for the life of us we cannot hold our tongues or keep our hands off. We. who cannot nosgibly know what es- sences of beauty the child is striv. ing for. freely offer him advice and correction.
 Few of us could have borne the sight of that young artist painting uneven shoulders and q lopsided face. We would have shown her exactly where she was wrong and just how she could make it right. It does not take much of this sort
