Danny Meadow Mouse was enjoy ing life in the Old Orchard. He and Nanny had pushed their tunnels un- der the snow in several directions. It was fun 10 dig tunnels in light snow. They could dig them sur prisingly fast. For a while Danny thought they lad the Old Orchard to themselves so far as other Mea- dow Mice were concerned. But one day he met face 10 face a stranger another Meadow Mouse as big as himself.
 What are you doing here" de manded Danny.
 T might ask you the same qUes- tion," replied the stranger.
 This is my tunnel" said Danny,
 Tt isn't much of q tunnel" said the stranger proyokingjy.
 Whether it is or not. f is mine" retorted Danny, and the sooner you get out Of 1t the better 1t Wiu be for you.'
 "supposing I don't ge- out Of it," said the stranger.
 'I'll make you" said Danny show ing all his sharp little teeth.
 T wish you would replied the stranger. in his turn showing all his sharp little teeth.
 'I will" said Danny.
 You won't' said the stranger.
 All this time their voices had grown squealier and sa1cakicr. Dan- ny didn't see Nanny Meadow Mouse peeping Out of the branch tunnel. but the stranger saw her and that made him all the bolder He didn't wait for Danny to start the fight. He suddenly rushed at Danny IL almost caught Danny off his guard. And then the fight vas on! The teeth Of Meadow Mice are sharp. Danny knew how 70 use his teeth. So did the stranger. But each was protected by rather thick fur coats and it wasn't easy to hart each other very much. Down there under the snow was difficult place in which to fight, but they were both so angry that they didn't mind the snow. Locked together, they rolled over and over and twisted and turned and kicked and bit.
 For a time Danny thought he had met his match. This stranger was no coward. He was an old fighter. He was no quitter. Danny began 10 wonder what he should do if this stranger should whip him. And then. as they rolled over and over. he just happened to catch a glimpse of Nanny Meadow Mouse looking on. How Danny did fight then. My. my. my. how Danny did fight then, Ii wasn't long before he realized that the stranger was not fighting as he had fought The stranger was try ing to get away. At least he sue ceeded in doing this and started to run. Danny started after him. Along one of Danny's little tunnels they raced. Then the stranger scrambled up to the surface of the snow. Dan ny was so close behind that he al most closed his teeth on the short little tail Of the stranger. Danny wanted to pull him back.
 But the stranger was just little bit toe quick for him. Up. he went and cut of sight. Danny wasted no

Since 1907 investigators in the do- partment of home economies at Iowa State College have hecn stpdy- ing the effects Of various types O shoes on the feet and posture of high school girls.
 such study demands far moro
 1ctail than the average person would ordinarily expect. In the first place lhe shoes Ot 3GS high school girls were examined as 10 their type and measure The feet were meas urcd and examined for the presence Of defects and footprints were taken
 one hundred and siNtY-snVen scn- for girls were photographed in sjl- IoUot and diagrams were made of the back. N-ray pictures were made of the normal and defective feet with and without shoes and Of the position of the feet when both low and high heels were worn.
 Neck Bent Forward Among 42 girls wearing high hcels 36 had the neck bent forward. 32 had protruIIng abdomons. and all had a narrow curve between tho shoulders and the hips. The E-ray picture. showed that the plevis was tilted at 4o-degrcc angle. | /NNhcn extremely high heels were Worn the muscles in the upper leg were not exercised. while those in ! the lower leg were over exerciScd, and the shape Of tho leg was spoIl- , cd by having the muscles push~ 10 the back of the calf.
 ! In every instance the posture Of i the girls was better in bare feet ! than in high heels, and in every ln- stance when q girl had one hip and i one shoulder high, she was found 10 ! have an oycrdevclopcd foot on the opposite side.
 Corrections
 When changes were made in the shoes and correct Instructions given as 10 posture. improvement began at once, so that 37 per cent of the | girls had i'm nlprovcd in their choice i of shoes and 14 per cent had i'm ! proved in the condition of their l i''l q S'dI a4lti ilit SluIS lldI Dtfu completed.

At the side Of the wrecked car nearest the wheel the ground was so trampler that it was iU- possible to distinguish the footprints. Here was where Mary had stood in : her futile attempt to get the princes unconscious figure out of the car, and 1t Was easy to doduce that the two mon had succeeded in lifting hlm clear and carrying him bodily away for there were no indications that his body had touched the ground

 I nodded as I studied them, thank ful that when Noel had drawn up his car behind the other we had rushed up 10 it from the rear and at inc left so that we had not con- fused these other footprints, which had Jeff clyar trail for any observ- an tDCrso0.
