more deeply. She knew that when
one grieves extravagantly. the

heartless. She was sorry that Zip
had found her making merry with

BEDTIME STORIES By :: 1 rTSg4s2I

The first time Flip saw Striped Chip
munk the latter was sitting in the mid
die of path that goes down through
the Old Orchard. The instant he
caught sight of Striped Chipmunk, Flip
headed for him at top speed. Striped
scampered for the old stone wall, where
in between the stones he was quite safe.
Flip barked and barked at the opening
between the stones where Striped Chip
munk had disappeared. He was so ex-
cited he couldn't bring himself TO leave
there, although he knew that he
couldn't get down between those stones.
Suddenly Striped Chipmunk popped
out just a short distance away and sat
Flip didn't see him until Striped Chip
munk, after jerking his tail two or
three times to express his feelings, sud-
denly began scolding Flip. Such sur
prised look as there was on Flip's face
when he saw Striped Chipmunkl He
scrambled up on top Of the wall and
tried to run along it. Striped Chip
munk thought this was great fun. OF
course, he can run at top speed along
the old stone wall: AS soon as Flip
got near enough, Striped Chipmunk.
straight up in the air, darted along the
old wall for a few feet and once more
sat UP to scold. How his tongue did
f1yl
Now, Flip ought to have known that
he hadn't chance in the world Of
catching Striped Chipmunk around
that old stone wall. That old wall is
regular fortress for Striped Chip
munk. When he Is on that, or close to
it, he doesn't need to fear anybody, ex-
cepting Shadow the Weazel.
But Striped Chipmunk scolded in
such a pert and saucy way that FLIP
couldn't stand 1t and kept right on
which is just what Striped Chipmunk
wanted. Once or twice Flip lost his
balance and had to jump down. When
this happened, he raced along at the
foot of the old wall until he was right
beneath Striped Chipmunk and then
Jumped up. But always Striped Chip
munk mysteriously disappeared, only to
pop out moment or two later in the
most impudent manner. And Flip was
too excited to reason at all. Had he
used his wits, as they were intended to
be used, he would have known that
Striped Chipmunk was Just teasing him
for his own pleasure.

of course, you know what it means

Now, of all the little people of the Green

around them, there is none more low

there is none who is saucer, unless 1t

By TEMPLE MANNING


a MEXICAN tourists who visit
IA Barcelona this year during
the great International Ex-
position, will find one Of the most
amusing features Of SPANS chief
city to be the Sardana. a form Of
amusement peculiar to Barcelona
and it's district, Catalonia. This is
a queer native dance which the ma
tives tread on the streets to the
accompaniment Of a municipal or
chestra.
The dancing. a quaint measure
utterly unlike It's ballroom proto-
types, goes on in different quarters
Of the city each night. The news
papers always tell where the Sar-
dana is to be held, but the tourist
who Is in doubt has only to say

policeman he meets and that worthy
guardian of the peace will promptly
tell ones driver where to go.
The International Exposition,
which opens May IS. will offer all
sorts Of amusements. The best or
chestras and choral singers of
Europe will be on hand, international
athletic events will be held, and
typical Spanish fiestas are being ar

For those who like to seek amuse-
ment off the beaten path, Barcelona
is dotted with tiny music halls and

ARDLY anybody has a kind
word for spinach, although it
~ Is n Of our best friends
among foods. Doctors and dietitians
have persuaded US that spinach is
as necessary in the diet as orange
juice; nevertheless. it is unpopular.
and most children have to be bribed
to eat it.
What's the objection to spinach?
Some people do not like It's vague,
metallic flavor; others call it ''soggy
leaves" and even the homemaker
who persistently cooks it because it's
good for the family. complains a lit
tie about the job OF cleaning such
an obstinately sandy vegetable. Still,
all Of these criticisms can be over
come by simple methods OF handling
spinach-which is lucky, because it
is n Of the foods that is nowadays
almost compulsory. Here are a few
suggestions which may help II win
the family to eating spinach with
pleasure.
First. a hint to the cook. Spinach
does need very thorough cleaning
because 1t Is naturally a sandy vege-
table. and a speck OF sand in the
cooked dish certainly annoys. How
ever. washing it in this fashion will
make the job a good deal easier:
Don't try to wash spinach in a
little saucepan. Use a container so
large that II will hold gallons OF
water. 1t really pays to keep on
hand a huge bucket just for the pur-
pose OF cleaning vegetables-it will
say time, trouble and your hands.
Throw the spinach into several gal
Ions Of cold water and let it soak
for half an hour. Swirl 1t around a
bit from time to time. Presently

you're in good condition, let 'em
laugh at you if they will, let
them call you a 'tenderfoot' and
a 'dude'-oh, yes, they still use
those old-fashioned words out in
the real West-you do your own
riding and keep your mouth shut
and learn what it is to live like
a real man in a real mans world.
Forget your clubs and the smart
dinners that nearly bored you to
death. Learn the feel of the
wind at sunrise and the look of
the stars after the moon has
gone down.
Learn to be hungry, thirsty
and tired, learn to forget that
you had a rich grandfather and
a grandmother who was at the
head of the social world in your
own town. They're buried now,
let them stay buried, do come up
out of the graveyard and be a
live man in a live mans world,
and some day you'll come back
and paint real pictures that real
men will recognize"
Poor fellow, he had no one to
talk to him like that, and so, be-
cause he thought the little gold
fish bowl world he lived in was
the only one-and he could not
bear it-he died by his own
hand.
Get out, get free, throw off
the shackles Of convention, for
get all the old family stories,
throw tradition into the ash
heap, stand on your own feet,
make your own life-that's what
I'd say to any young man who
came to me with such a story as
this young man must have told
someone-before he died.
