80 Fairy Story for the Children %

The man was fireman and he was
sitting outside the firehouse in town
some little distance away when he
heard the most tremendous amount
of Quack-quacking he had ever heard.
He told another fireman that there
surely must be some trouble at the
duck farm.

get out my spyglasses and see what
l can make out"
For the quacking continued and was
so terrific.
Don't you suppose" said the Sec
Ond fireman, that one of the ducks
has been hurt and the. others are

man. that one hundred or more ducks
would be so sympathetic at the same
time.
Nor would they make so much
noise. | fear something has happened
over there"
He looked through his spyglasses
in the direction of the duck farm.
There! see something like
smoke" he said. "Yes, I'm sure
see something like smoke"
NEAR the duck farm?" asked the
second fireman, getting up. and add
ing:
WED better send out the alarm and
get started"
Its away from the farm that I

sewed together at the low waistline,
under the belt. The one-piece back is
plain. The normal shoulder line has
been used, and long set-in sleeves, fin
ished with turn-back cuff matching
the design stitched on the front of the
dress. Pin tucks form this design and
meet the stitched fiat plaits of the
skirt at the beltline. These pin tucks
are made on a suitable length of the
material before it is cut according to
the pattern. This assures their being
symmetrical and in the right position
on the wrist.
Plaits taken in the skirt give the
appearance of continuation of the
design on the waist and provide full
ness for the knees. The Joining line
is covered by narrow all-around belt,
closed by pearl buckle. A bias band
forms the fiat neck finish and follows
the lines of the tucked trimming, end
ing in pointed tab, stitched fiat.
There is concealed shoulder opening
that closes with snaps. This dress
might have been made in sleeveless or
short-sleeved style for sport wear.
With the long sleeves it is suitable on
the street or for business in warm
weather.

dear. the fire is spreading.
"Oh, can't they hurry? Hurry!

noise 5

"Quack. auack, quack," cackled and
quacked the poor ducks. They were
very much frightened.
But just then the fire engines and
the firemen arrived and they drove
past the duck farm to the part of the
forest which was burning.
They stopped the fire!

Magpies Wait for Feast

The sight of hundreds of beautiful
magpies along the Nevada highway
while few are seen in the interior is
one of the puzzles of motoring across
the Nevada wastelands or through
such city as Elko. A curious mo-
torist investigated and learned that
the dazzling blackbirds, spotted with
patches of white feathers, lined the
highways waiting for dinner. Speed
ing motor cars kill hundreds of the
desert jack-rabbits and nothing tastes
so good to hungry maybe as fresh
rabbit. So they line the highways.

CORN SOUP IS DELICIOUS

Canned corn is the basis for an eX-
ceIlent soup that can he produced in
a short time from materials usually
at hand in the pantry or on the en-
Urgency shelf. While there is CON-
mon idea that milk soups are pre-
ferahly served ut luncheon there is
no reason why they can not be used
for dinner soups. provided the rest of
the meal is not heavy or rich. Corn
soup is sufficiently substantial to
serve if the meat course is somewhat
light, or if unexpected guests have
made il necessary at the last minute
to reduce the size of the portions of
meat and vegetables. The recipe is
from the bureau of home economics.
Buttered pop corn can be used as an
interesting substitute for the usual
crOutOnS to serve with corn soup.
Here is the recipe:

India Ranks First in
Number of Dairy Cows

The fact that there are more dairy
cows in India than in any other coun-
try in the world, with the United
States running second is surprising
news. based on report of the United
States dairy bureau. Russia is a close
third.
'When we consider that there
are 22,0OO,000 dairy cows in the United
States, the fact that India has even
more changes the popular conception
of that country" says Miss Dorothy
Buckley of the Connecticut unit of
the National Dairy council. "The sa-
cred cow of India is part of our popu-
lar idea of that country, but the fact
that she exists in such large numbers
is quite astonishing"

The paint bill of the United States

census of manufacture taken by the

the manufacture of paints and var
