FURNITURE RH GOI.DIlNCkS

When Goldilu"ks went to visit the three bears she was pleased to find at least one chair that was not too big and not too hard, but just right, and when she discovered a bed that Was not too high and not too broad she felt so happy and so comfort able that she lay right down and went to sleep.
 Perhaps one reason this story appeals so much to children is tha: they themselves know how pleasant it is 10 find at least one chair among all the chairs in the family living room that was actually made for little backs and little legs. and they know how satisfactory it is to come upon a bed one doesn't have to climb.
 In planning the arrangement Of the home the needs of the toddlcs often are neglected, To the small child the family living room must
 look as if it had been arranged for giants. Fancy living in hous. 1 where the seats Of the chairs all i come as high as your arm pits and W here in order to lie down on q
 couch you must first hoist yoursett ED as if you were clamhcring into |;
 boat. The child's weariness at tht ! end of the day is quite comprehen-
 s,blc when We sec the world through | his eyes.
 1 In every room tEorc should De al ! least one chair or bench or coucf ! where tn" child may relax without
 first going through strenuous eXer-
 ions. Simple wooden chairs of tho right size can be bought anywhere
 and some pretty and comfortable
 upholstered chairs suitable for the
 living room aand nursery are gen
 erally to be had for a little more
 money. The legs Of the chiid's be,
 should be sawed off to the proper , height SO that he can lie down with
 cut preliminary gymnastics.

This was exciting and 50 1t was fun. Exciting things usually are fun. He felt very brave and very bold. At last, he was almost to Spooky and still Spooky didn't move. Then, looking down, jimmy spied a mouse on the grain bin. He forgot Spooky and leaned over to look at that mouse. 1t was a bad time 10 be forgetful. Yes. sir. it was a bad time 10 be forgetfuT
 Now, all this lime Spooky the Screech Owl had not been asleep at all. He had merely pretended. He was doing what is called "watchfuI waiting." He had not missed a movement of Timmy 'I believe my chance has come" he muttered un- der his breath. Anyway. Tll giv" that Squirrel fright he won't get over in q hurry"

Timmy the Flying Squirrel had also moved into Farmer Browns barn through the bad weather. That barn was a wonderful place for Flying Squirrel. He could al ways find plenty to eat there. It blight blow and snow and snow and blow outside. but inside it would all ways be comfortable. Timmy had moved into the barn before Spooky the Owl did. He had known when Spooky moved in and for some time he had managed to keep out of sight. There were so many rats and mice in the big barn that Spooky was occupied with catching them most of the time. So it was that he hadn't seen Timmy the Flying Squir- rel until quite by accident he dis covered him one evening. He had tried 10 catch him and had failed.
 That had given Timmy q lot of confidence. The result was that after that he didn't try to keep out Of sight Of Spooky. In fact. he be- gan to get lot of fun out Of teas ing Spooky. He would run out on some big beam. or on q raftcr, in the roof and then wait until Spooly would try 10 catch him. Then, just at the right instant, he would make one of those wonderful flying leaps of his and sail clear across the barn. Usually Spooky would fly after him, hIrf 1,n h la pn Timmy.
 1t got so after while that Spooky stopped trying to catch Timmy He refused to pay any attention to him. Then Timmy began 10 grow bolder. If he could have known what was time, perhaps he wouldn't have been quit" so bold.
 "Timmv is going 10 got carelrss; on" Of these days Spooky would gay 10 himself. Fl" is going to get very bold and when he gets very h7'd h" will become careless. l can i' ord 10 wait. I will just pay no j.' n'ion 10 him at all"
 This IS just what Snookv did
 'lrn there vas fun for Timmv. l'r'my grew bolder and bolder He old jump from q raftor high mp 'n ih" barn and sail down right rnh"r where Spookv was pcrchrd Sometimes he would jump from behind Spooky in the most proNok irg way.

Sc he can jump very long distances gliding or coasting on the air. Al ways, however. he is going down and when he alights, he is far be low the place he starts from.
 As have said. Timmy grew hold CT and holder. There was no fun in tcasing Spooky if Spookv refused to be leased. At last he grew so bold

the percentase of children left. handed was 17.34; whereas in faml- lies in which neither of the parents is left handed. only 2.0l per cent of the children are left-handcd.
 Obviously then there is some definite factor of inheritance asso- ciatcd with this form of activity. Morcoer, it seems to be limited to some extent according to the sex of the parent who is the deterlniner.
 If left -handedness were not an inherited characteristic. as pointed out by Chamberlain. one would not find over , per cent of the children left-handed regardless of the hand- cdness of the parent.

 But my small son put his arms around my neck and pulled me down on the arm of the chair.
 You sit right down here. moth er," he commanded. laughing with the freedom of much indulged child. You haven't sat this way and listened to Daddy's story for a long time. I might as well not have any mother. Put your arm around her. Daddy. the way you used to, and hold her close"

 We mustn't delay your mother. son." he said icily. And you mustn't expect her to waste much time upon us. Remember your mother has a career now. That's why she's leaving you for the city.
 There was so much venom in his tones that I felt myself shivering. But the next instant l was flaming from head 10 foot with fury. Woul1 I have strength, I wondered. to keep from storming at Dicky like a vixen?
 My young son saved me the trouble. He not only interpreted Dicky's words literally, but he sensed the contemptuous anger A his fathers voice. and as always when anyone is discourteous to me or critical of my actions. he ranged himself instantly and violently upon my side. He burst out crying. and jumping down from his fathers lap grabbed me tightly as l rose from the arm of the chair.
 My mother does give me time. lots of it." he told Dicky loyalty, choking back his .obs. "An. she isn't going all the tune 10 .ne city. She's coming home almost every weekend. She told me so. You're a bad father to say that"
 Dicky rose precipitately.

 RAseotnsent to Mcky
 As Dtcky brought Edith Fairfax's name into his planning of an eve ming gown for me. there suddenly fled from me all the pleasurable emotions which had been mine since I had made the effort to gratify Dicky by dressing up." in Juniors parlance, as a setting for the imita- ton jade necklace.
 Was he so obtuse that he coul1 not realize my resentment at his suggesting that Edith call me and plan the making of the evening gown he had just sketched-I knew only too we'll that his business partners new found deadly efficien- cy would never stop with simply telling me where I could find the new fabric. Or was he deliberately trying to arouse my jealousy by the introduction of Ediths name?
 Either alternative was so repellent that I all at once felt chilled and infinitely weary. Lillian's talk had banished my resentment against Dicky for the scene in his office and his later clumsily staged explana- ton of it. My mood had been distinctly softened one when l went to Juniors room. and Dicky's boyish admiration of me. and the old look of tenderness in his eyes had stirred me strangely. But now my only emotion was pride. I must not let Dicky suspect how suddenly my mood had hardened at his mention of Edith Fairfax's name.
 Do tell her to call me" said. forcing a pleased smile to my lips. T shall be awfully interested to hear about anything new. But I warn you if it isn't just what fancy, l shan't take it, for l saw some material the other day which was just what I wanted, and which would make up wonderfully in this design. But I'm always open to con- Niction."
 Dicky Is PccycL
 "Please yourself, of course, Dicky said. with hint of petulance in his voice which always comes when any suggestion of his to me is not snapped up eagerly.
 I'm going to-" 1 retorted, wrin- lling my nose at him, and laugh ing, the while I wondered what he would say if ha could know the ef- fort my apparent joyous casualness was costing me. And I'm sure youll approve when yon see the gown made from your design. Pm not going to do it in hurry - want to wait until l get into the city. But it will be worth waiting for, I'm sure"
 was also sure that the time of waiting would be extremely long. If Dicky never saw the real jade necklace until it adorned a gown in which Edith Fairfax had any hand. he would wait many a day 10 look

 All sorts of essays have been writ ten as to the causes of left handed ness, attempting to corre'ate it on the basis of the sizes of various sec tions of the brain, the location of various areas, and similar anatomi- cal reasons.
 Attempts have been made to correlatn. left -handedncss with other traits. such as criminalIty and im- bccility and there is q current jest as to the slow mindedness of left handed baseball pitchers.
 Study of t'rcshn,"u
 Mir. Herbert D. Chamberlain of Ohio State University recently stud jed left -handodncss among all of the freshmen ot the class of 1927. There were PITY entered during that year, and each of~thcm was uucs- toned as to left -handedncss or right t-hand.dnesS in his parents, his brothers and sisters. ot the stud 'nts, 94 were. left handed, or 4.3l per cent.
 These students had 1851 parents of whom ol13 were right handed mothers and Of left handed mothers o0SG were right handed fathers, and 91 lclt-handcd fathers.
 Thus, 4.13 per cent of the fathers, 1 were icTt- handed. where only ..94 per cent of the mothers were left handed. Among the sisters of the students, 3.76 per cent were left | handed and among the parents eos | per cent.

commanding officers of the Continent
tai troops; That it be proclaimed in
each of the United States and at the
head of the Army"
1t was late in the afternoon of
Thursday, July 4, when this action
was taken, so the committee, COM
posed of Thomas Jefferson, John
Adams and Benjamin Franklin imme-
diately fastened from the state house
on Chestnut street, in Philadelphia, to
little building on High street. where
Dunlap and Claypoole conducted a
print shop. These printers were pre-
pared to do rush jobs" They had
put out broadsides Immediately after
the Battles of Lexington, Bunker Hill,
and upon receipt of the news of the
disasters at Ticonderoga and Quebec.
So they at once set to work and gave
their personal attention to the setting
in type of this greatest of all docu-
ments, which had fallen to their lot
to print. Since the printing of it had
to have official supervision, Jefferson,
Adams and Franklin stayed in the
shop until the Declaration was set
in type and the first proof of it was
pulled. They then made corrections
on this proof, (the major responsible
ity for catching any errors resting on
Franklin, no doubt, since he was a
practical printer and remained in the
shop until this Magma Charta of Amer
lean liberties had been placed on the
old fiat hand-press and was being
printed.
On July 5, 1916, when congress met
again, a supply of these printed copies
of the Declaration were on hand, and
one of them was "wafered" in the
blank space left for it in the rough
journal of Congress" before the read
ing Of the minutes of the preceding
day took place. In the meantime let
tiers transmitting the Declaration to
the various assemblies had been pre-
pared by John Hancock, president of
congress, his signature attested to by
Charles Thompson, secretary, and
some of these were printed on July 3
and the remainder some days later.
The first one was sent to the Com
mittee of Safety of Pennsylvania, dat
ed July 8 and delivered to the COM
mittee on July g. The committee de-
cided to promulgate the Declaration
on the following Monday, July s, since
elections for membership in the new
convention were to be held through
out the state on that day and would
furnish better opportunity than
usual to secure a large public attend
ance to hear the reading of this impor-
tant document.
On July s, the Declaration of indie
pendence was first proclaimed to the
citizens of the United States from the
balcony of an observatory attached to
the building in the state house yard
which occupied the site of what is
now the home of the American Phi

losophical society. The man who read
it to the assembled people was Col.
John Nixon, formerly an alderman in
Philadelphia and commander of a reg
iment in the Continental army at the
battle Of Long Island and at Valley
Forge. He acted for the sheriff who
would by right have read it.
The reading of the Declaration was
received with much enthusiasm by.
the Philadelphians. 1t is true that
the Liberty bell in the state house
steeple (that bell whose makers had
placed upon it the prophetic inscrip-
ton Proclaim Liberty throughout all
the Land unto all the inhabitants
thereof" when it had been cast some
tWenty-three years before), was rung
at this time-to call the Philadel-
phians together for the reading of the
Declaration and to celebrate the occa-
sion after they had received the news.
But the cracking of the bell did not
take place at this time. That oc-
currred exactly SO years later while
it was being tolled for the death of
Chief Justice John Marshall, which
took place July s, 1885. Other bells
chimed in the chorus, bonfires were
lit that evening and all in all it was
one of the most memorable days in
the history of the historic City of
Brotherly Love.
Although the first official proclama
ton of the Declaration of Independ-
ence took place on July s, in Independ-
ence Square, this was not the first
knowledge which the public had of the
great news which it contained. For
on Saturday, July 6, the Pennsylvania
Evening Post, published every Tues
day and Saturday evenings" at
price only two coppers" devoted the
entire front page of its issue for that
date to the publication of the Dec
laration. On July s, Dunlap and
Claypoole also published it in their
weekly, the Pennsylvania Packet, and
within the next week or so it had
been published in nearly all of the
Colonial newspapers, as well as hav-
ing been proclaimed in various places
by the assemblies, councils of safety
and the like, for post riders were car
rying some of Dunlap and Claypoole's.
printed copies throughout the newly
created nation. In Massachusetts
where the struggle for liberty had be-
gun, it was first proclaimed on July
ID, 1776, and the interesting fact is
that it did not take place in Boston.
For, according to contemporary ac-
count, "at about noon on Sunday
July 14) a messenger on his way to
Boston stopped at one of the taverns
on Main street (Worcester) for din
ner for himself and team. While
waiting for his team to eat and rest
he was met by Isaiah Thomas, who
obtained from him copy of the Dec
laration which he took to the church
and read from the porch"

CROP INSURANCE ON

STEADY GROWTH is SHOWN FOR

Montana farmers are realizing the
value of hail insurance. The number
insured in 1927 increased nearly so
per cent over 1926, and those insured
in 1928 were IL per cent over 1927.
The number insured has grown stead

1000 farmers carried state hail in
surance of over 100000.
The 1928 operations of the depart
ment, according to the statement of
the chairman, E. K. Bowman, were
quite satisfactory. Losses We're about

counties suffered severe losses, while
many other counties suffered little or
no loss. More than 200 farmers were
insured in the counties of Richland,

two loss claims were filed. These two
losses amounted to only S225.

GLENO|VE GAS LEAK
FOUND BY A|RPLANE
Fuel Supply Threatened By Flood
Which Created Huge Damage
In East End.

The use of airplanes in locating
leaks in the Glendive-Cabin Greek gas
line prevented users of natural gas
at Glendive from being cut off of
their supply.
Floods that caused enormous DAM
age in eastern Montana two weeks ago
washed away 100 feet of ground from
underneath the natural gas pipe line,
leaving the line 10 feet in the air. The
result was leak that threatened the
Glendive supply. District Manager
Noel Caricco chartered an airplane
and after several hours of air scout
ing the leak was located and repair
ed. No interruption in the service was
required to mend the leak.
So badly flooded was the entire
area where the leak occurred that
line patrol walkers were unable to
walk the line. Telephone and tele-
graph services were out of commits
sion and roads were impossible.
