Long Lane.

Long Lane.
 Flip almost caught a Meadow Mouse and had q great time trying to dig it out of the ground. Then he chased q squirrel up tree. He ran from one side to the other. He 'wasn't still minute. By and by he became very hot and somewhat tired,
 I'll rest a bit" thought Flip. I'll sit, down on that bank over there and rest"
 So Flip scampered over to the bank, which gave nice view'up and down the Long Lane. And there he sat down, his tongue hanging out as he panted. But he didn't sit there long, Suddenly, with a yelp, he jumped up into the air Then he be- gan to whirl around and around, as inf he were chasing his own tall What it all meant he didn't know, but one thing he did know. and that vas that he had sat down in the wrong place.

stantly. The volume of air that is breathed changes with every 1C- tiyity. sleeping, walking, working or running. Since gases are mixed with air and breathed into the body, it is important to know how much air is taken in and how much gas accompanies it over certain period of time.
 The air goes into the lungs. which are elastic and which are blown up like a bellows with tie construction of a sponge. All or the little cavities opening through small communicating tubes into larger communicating tubes are finally connected up with the wind pipe. Through the little cavities circulate blood vessels and the oxygen brought in with the air is taken up by the blood and sent back to the heart where it is cir culated to the tissues of the body.
 The average man breathes about six quarts of air a minute while resting in bed, eight quarts while standing, fourteen quarts while walking at two miles an hour, forty-three quarts while running slowly. and as much as sixty-five quarts under conditions of maximum exertion.
 Children expend more energy per unit of body surface than adults. For this reason. the breathing by volume and the amount of air exchanged in the body are greater in children than in adults and the rate at which they take up any gas is, more rapid. It is for the same reason | that mice and canary birds arc used in mines to indicate the presence of had air, The breath 1 ing of the mouse or bird in ,rela- | tionship to it's size is such that it will be poisoned far quicker than 1 the man who may be carrying it.

many new processes involving strange and hazardous chemical substances have brought new dangers 10 mankind Often the human being is unaware of the risk he undergoes.
 The great disaster in the Cri.e Clinic in Cleveland was a marl- festaticn of the harm that may be wrought by 9 poison gas when It is developed in quantities sudden ly and at place where numerous people, are assembled. The gas in this case was nitrogen dioXide. It is proposed to tell in this series of articles something about the various poisonous gases.
 Probably the greatest number of fatalities due to poisonous gases are caused by Illuminating gas, carbon monoXidc from the ex- hausts of motor cars and more ra- gently gas escaping from some electric refrigeration systems.
 Illuminating gas is carbon mon oxide, while the Gascs used in electric refrigerators are sulphur dioXide, methyl chloride ard am- monia.
 During the past year, 29 per sons were poisoned by gases from house hold refrieerators in Chicago and of this number 10 died Al these cases resulted from systelaN using methy chloride. which is quite difficult to detect because it has practically no odor, and from multiple unit systems. These sys- tens are used mainly in apart ment houses and the refriEera- ton unit is generally in the hasc- ment with the gas piped through out the, building
 Higher pressure on the gas is necessary than when the unit is part of the refrigeration and con- sequently leaks are more apt to occur.
 So far, no cases Of roisonirS have been reported from rcrrig .- rators using sulphur dioXide, be- cause this gas immediately irri- tates the eyes and throat and q person can leave the room In which it is escaping.
 Breathing is one of the tunc- tions of mankind that goes on con-

FLIP SITS DOWNlIN THE WRONG

 Flip cooked his head on one side and lifted enc ear. "Is that SO?' sad he. Well, if you were to go where l came from I have an idea that some of the dogs in our neighbor hood would tell you the same thing. You don't know a thing about the city-and I do. I don't know d thing about the country. but I'm willing 70 learn. No one can ever induce me to pick up a Toad again and I've learned that some things that fly it is just as well to leave alone" Flip was thinking of Rumble the Bee, who had stung him on the nose. By the way" continued Flip, 'how%dfd you find out that mud is good for sting?'
 Bowser grinned good -naturodly. "l vas young once" saidvh T learn ed all about stiugs and mud then. the thing to do if you get stung if to get some damp mud on it as soon as possible. It takes out a lot of the pam" -
 T won't forget it." replied Flip, "but I can tell you one thing and that is that l don't Intend to get stung again"
 You never can tell" replied Bowser You didn't intend to get stung this time, but you did.'

 Flip saw that he could not induce Bowser 10 come, so he trotted off alone. He entered the Long Lane that. leads down 10 Farmer Brown $ corBfield. Flip had liked that Long Lane ever since he had come there to live. There were big trees on each side. so that it was shady and cool In the bushes along the side, one was-likely to find almost any one Flip had even jumped Reddy Fox ill there once.

Giving a New Flavor To The Tea Hour
BY MRS. PENROSE LYLY Written for NEA Service


 Tea-time is good fun m summer -on the porch, after a swim or a tennis game. Seductive china in the new patterns. bright napery design ed for the colorful hostess, delicate ly favored, pert little iced cups. cookies just big enough for a nrte -candied fruit, maybe-and tea. fragrant to the spirit of out-cl doors hospitality.
 Incidentally, let me suggest tha, you invite your children to share this afternoon nibbling. All chill dren have a sweet tooth. Turn that natural craving for sweets into social education. They'll thank you when they grow up.
 Giving Eugar Flavor
 How lift your summer tea par. ties out of the commonplace? Lots of ways suggest themselves but just one at a time is the rule, In your cakes and cookies and iced drinks, shade of untraceabie flavor gives the fillip.
 How many women know the chefs guarded secret of flavoring sugars with vanilla and other cs- sences to give them the delicate blended flavor that adds to any cake or beverage, candied fruit or cookies a graceful touch just bit nicer, and a little more indivi1 ual?
 To the hostess who brides her self on her subtlety of cooking. let me whisper this secret in de- tail. Buy yourself some glass mason jars and print Vanilla. Cla- namon, Almond and fistache on small labels. Paste these labels on your shining jars and then fill each one with granulated sugar.
 In the first, stock a few vanilla beans. Within two weeks tune the sugar will be rich with the essence of vanilla, subtly blended into it's sweetness. unobtrusivc, mellow and potent. Ground cinna-' mon shaken through the sugar in the next jar, will blend it's aro matc excellence with the white crystals. and will make cinnamon buns just that much more entic- ing.
 And half a cup full of unsaltcd raw almonds broken up in the sugar jar, enrich with their piquancy, the fruit drinks, pud- dings and especially cakes in which the almond -flavored sugar is used. Use the delicate and different" pistache nuts in the same way to add one more mel lowed sugar 10 your flavorlng shelf. Here are sweetness and flavor, falling in love, standing ready for instant use on the pantry shelf to give your tea cakes the touch of art that divides monoto- nous cooking from kitchen magic. Lemon, orange and lime peel have their own romantic virtues. Use them for sugar flavoring, too. 10 add variety to your magic jars.
 Unless you feel unusually phi lanthropic, there is no reason why you should explain to your guests why they enjoy your iced cakes and beverages more than thelr own. Just smile with inward pride, serve yourself another slice of almond d-sugared white cake or pistache- sugared cookies and be nonchalant.

 She sprang to her feet and whirl- ed into one of the intricate dances of which she had made herself mts- . tress. She was right, I thought. To give her the drudgery of accom- panying comparative poverty was like harnessing a racing colt to a dray. And yeti was convinced that she did not mean word of what she had been saying. She was so thoroughly in love with Noel that I was sure she would throw D romantic halo about any task per- formed for him.
 She was trying 10 make me for get that she had inadvertently men, toned her need of money. That con- yiCtion grew upon me as I watched her and went over the things ste just had told me. But I faced a deadend street for the present and it was with relief that I heard DiCky's key in the lock.

 Previously Helen had shown in- tcrests and enthusiasms in a half dozen different fields; now she be- gan to concentrate on herself. She fused before the mirror 20 times day and wore the new realization of her charms like an unpleasant var nish. She stopped going to basket ball practice and trusted to her bluff 10 get her by in class recitations.
 Her mother watched the new de- velopment with misgivings. One day she came upon Helen standing before the hall mirror i've been wanting to talk to you, Helen. Have you a moment?'

Mary Evades a Question and Dicky Arrives Perturbed, to Complicate Nadge'S Wondering

Nadge's Wondering

Mary flung up her head as might young horse at an unexpected cut of the whip. l had hated to put the query, but while she is with me l stand Tn the place of her dead mother, ana I knew that I must find out why she needed money. l was sure that she was no longer cherishing the whiln- sical idea of getting together enough money to supplement Noel's meager income and thus warrant their mar riage. But fresh in my mind was t'@ memory of that experiment when she had taken the name of Janet RaWdon and deposited almost all ot her allowance in a bank under that name, incidentally giving Dicky d"d me intense worry until We found out the- answer to the puzzle. But that experience had taught me that Mary was so temperamental-and so like a little child in her ideas of finance that it behooved me. to look after her, But I was unpleasantly startled to see the expression of her face change to a cold evasiveness insteal of the quick resentment followed by equally quick contrition which from past experience Of her moods l had expected.

Don't Leave Charm Out of
 Your Beauty Make-Up

Charm is the pot of gold at the will-o'- the wisp which women, in their search for beauty, are trying 10 obtain, believes Corinne Griffith.
 And, when once the physical at- tributes of beauty including far complexion, sparkling eyes, glossy hair and the rest-are acquired 1t is well to give a thought to the other things which contribute to charm.
 Many beautiful women lack that elusive quality while many women of great personal mag netism could not be rated as grea. beauties" explains Miss Griffith. But even though her features are irreguler, the woman of charm is pleasant to look upon for she has mastered the qualities of perfect grooming and has made the most of her good features.
 Ingredients of Charm
 "The next thought for charm IS the development of the soul we might say. for lack of a better word. The charming woman is interested in everything and every body. She has vitality and pleasant disposition. Reading the newspapers, the latest books and keeping up with current events makes her a good conversations ist and her interest in and under standing of people give her mag netism that draws everyone to her. She is willing to listen to the other person talk as well as eX- press her own ideas.
 "Kindliness and cheerfulness, sweetness, graciousness. These are the qualities by which q charming woman endears herself to others. And the motivating fac tor of those is thoughtfulness."
