SAMMY DISCOVERS THE TRUTH
 By Thornton W. Burgess
The stoutest heart doth yield to fear When helplessness seems drawing near.
 -Old Mother Nature,

It was daybreak of the morning after the start of the great fight in the Green Forest. Sammy Jay hast fly got a bite to eat and then flew straight over to where the night be- fore he had left Lightfoot the Dear and the strange Deer fighting. He hoped he would find some one who could tell him who had won the battle. You can guess how sur prised he was when he discovered the two fighters apparently fighting as hard as ever. Anyway, they were standing head to head and every now and then one would give the other a push. Could it be that they had fought all night All about the ground was torn up and trodden. Not far away stood little Mrs. Lightfoot and on her face was a worried look "a look as if there were something she did not understand. During the night she had wandered about. but always after little came back where she could watch the two who were fighting for her.
 Blacky the Crow arrived a few minutes after Sammy jay. He. too. was surprised. T never heard of such a thing!" he exclaimed. Tt looks as if neither knows when to quit"
 Just then both slipped to their knees. Sammy's sharp eyes discov- cred something. Yes, sir they did so! Those eyes of his are very sharp and they are forever discovering something.
 Did you see that, Cousin Blacky?' he exclaimed,
 Did I see what?" demanded Blacky.
 Those two were trying 10 pull apart, instead of trying to push each other" exclaimed Sammy, growing more and more excited. Watch, and you'll see that I'm right
 Blacky leaned forward that he might see better. Its as true as you're alive!" he exclaimed in his turn. "They are not fighting at all. They are trying to get apart and they cant. It's those antlers Of theirs!"
 "They are locked together!" cried Sammy Jay. Those antlers are all tangled together. Now, what will they do? Why, this is dreadful! If they can't get themselves apart, no one else can part them. l never heard of such a thing; but there it is! See, Lightfoot isn't angry any longer, he is just frightened. It is the same way with the stranger"
 It was all true. Lightfoot and the other Deer had locked antlers. They had come together in such a way that the antlers had been pushed apart and then sprung together; so that 1t was impossible for them to separate them. They were bound together as surely as if iron bands had been locked around their ant lers They had not known just when it happened. In the fury Of the fight they had pushed and push cd and when at last they had sought to separate for moments rest, and had been able to, each had thought that the other was simply continu- ing to push. It was not until long

Hygiene Of The Nose

One of the most common causes of disease of the ear is the too- violent blowing of the nose.
 The forceful effort to clear the nasal passage may force infections material into the inner ear canals (the Eustachian tubes) which open into the throat This practice is re- sponsible for many a case of ear abscess and mastoiditis
 Which method then is to be pre- ferred in clearing ones nose? Should one nostril be blocked while the oppisite passage is cleared, or should both nasal openings be gen. tly pinched and exhaled through?
 While there are advocates of each method, neither one may in truth be said to be preferable over the other. Sc much depends on the "roomi- ness" of the nasal passage, and

These are fashioned to fit the neckline perfectly and are cut just like demure round collars, many of them having little bows, pabots, tas- sells and other tailored touches where they fasten in front.
 Some of them have the beads worked out in checkered or flow cred design. Others are just rows upon rows of gay little brilliants. They are exceptionally good on vel vet or crepe afternoon frocks and of course very, very good on the very young.

hips.
Then there's the straight-line
coat with scarf collar, a coat
that's a great favorite with the
women who doesn't want too
sudden change. 1t is feminine
and slightly formal In feeling,
so that it is appropriate for
nearly every daytime occasion.
Chaners cape coats are very
successful too, and are flatter-
ing to figures that are too thin,
a bit too full, or are not par
ticularly we'll proportioned-but
be sure the cape is right in
length and shape. There are
little epaulette capes that ap-
pear on coats, and belted or
high-waiSted capped coats that
are reminiscent of redingoteS.
Short capes give the new broad
shouldered effect, while longer
capes merely add grace and
dignity to the figure.
The CosSack influence is re-
SponSible for coats that are
belted at the normal waiStline,
broad-shouldered and often with
a scarf collar that ties high in
mannish manner. These coats
are flared diScreetly from the
hips.
For street and semi-sports
wear, there's a new double
breasted coat with belted back
that is about as smart as any
thing we've seen. It's injured
and is good in navy, black or
brighter colors.
Formal afternoon coats often
dip slightly in the back, espe-
cially if they're to be worn with
frockS Of the same character.
Other coats are best with even
hemlineS and they should cover

A certain amount Of adipose

not only a silhouette that is not
properly proportioned, but low

themselves highly energized,

nervousness and jumpiness be-

No permanent wave will show
a pattern If the hair is stretched
smooth and flat. Wave lines,
like pleatings in fabrics, require
plenty of material. To get the
best out of a permanent wave,
moiSten the hair with hot
water, push it forward toward
the parting, and press in the
lines with the fingers. Even
naturally curly hair is no good
when combed out straight. It
must be petted, fused with,
coaxed into an undulation.
Dandruff is an excessive de-
squamation of the scales of the
scalp. Dead cells interfere with
the functioning of the pores

When the body is weary and
fatigue bugs are working, it is
no good to ply the old rouge
mop or to seek the shop where
beauty treat tmentS can be

sleep will bring rerreshment.
Every act of the sense organs
depletes nerve forces-the work

the eyes, movements of muscles,
listening to voices and the noise
of traffic, even talking. Every
waking hour we are wearing
out: every hour Of restful sleep
we are mending and repairing.
When the eyes are heavy and

low ebb. Every seeker after

for this grouping of furniture from re-

End tables adapted from the early

its place in many living rooms, both
for its good lines and for its comfort.
