Art Exhibit Restricted
 To Academy Members

New York, Oct. P-For thef first time in it's 105 years, the ya- tional Academy of Design, this c0un- try's oldest art organization, will display in its annual exhibition next month only the work of painters and sculptors who are members or asso- ciate members of the academy.
 It is a radical departure from a century-old policy by which the academy exhibitions had opened the way to recognition for thousands of unknown artists.
 In recent years the work of non- members has greatly outnumbered members exhibits, and belief that the painting of members was not be- ing adequately presented led to the restriction. Cass Gilbert, noted arch itect, is president of the academy.

BEDTIME STORIES

was an odor that he never got any,
where excepting around the Smiling
Pool. or in certain places along the
Laughing Brook and the Big River.
Peter shifted two or three times and
finally caught it again
Jerry is somewhere around" said
Peter with q grin. "for that is his own
special perfume that ! smell. Several
others OF my acquaintance carry per-
fume, but none like that that Jerry
Muskrat likes so much
OF course. Peter meant the musk
which has given Jerry his name Of
muskrat Unlike Jimmy Skunk's, Jerry
Muskrat's perfume is not unpleasant
Peter rather enjoyed it as he shifted
and shifted, for it was not too strong
Then, too, he felt certain that Jerry
must be near, or there would be none
of that odor.
Il know what I'll do" thought Peter.
Il told Jerry Muskrat that I would
not thump on the roof Of his house.
won't thump to be mean, but Ill just
call him. If / thump once or twice,
he'll know that I'm here, and then per-
haps he'll come out. It's a good thing
that know just where his house Is in
the bank. II didn't, wouldn't know
where to come. ! won't thump hard.
III thump lightly and Jerry will
So Peter hoped along until he
judged he was right over Jerry Musk
rats house. To make sure, he peered
over the edge of the bank He could
see an entrance under water-a hole.
Peter hoped back a little way, so as to
get right over Jerry'S bed room. At
least, that was what he was trying to
do. He knew that from that opening
down under water a quite long hall led
at slant up to snug bed room Just a
little way below the graSsroots.
Peter thumped lightly: then hoped
over to the edge of the bank and
looked down. He expected to see Jerry
Muskrat come out of that hole down
under water. Jerry didn't come out.
So, after waiting a few minutes, Peter
went back and thumped again, this
time little harder than before. Once
more he hurried to the edge of the
bank and looked down. He waited and
waited, but he waited in vain. No
Jerry Muskrat appeared. A third time
Peter went back, and this time he
thumped twice and he thumped hard.
''Therew said he. IT guess that will
wake him up. He must have been
sound asleep" Then Peter once again
hurried to the edge of the bank and
looked down. Some one shot out of
that hole under water, but it wasn't
Jerry Muskrat.

At the first gas alarm, Corp. Har-
rison made for the barn where his
horses and mules were quartered and
adjusted gas masks on all his mounts.
Later that night the Germans sent
over shrapnel and high explosives which
penetrated the barn in which the
corporals animals were billeted.
Again Harrison-thiS time alone
entered the place to care for them
Twice he was knocked over by concus-
sion and twice he was wounded in the
ley by shrapnel
But he stuck it out--for IL hours.
With utter disregard for his own
personal safety" comments the War
Department in its recommendation for
the award, "he remained on duty in an
effort to keep the animals in places of
safety"
And IL it hadn't been for Harrison's
heroism his battalion might never have
been able the next night to effect a

Couture for a Tall Girl.

Dear Miss Leeds: Cd What kind of
couture is becoming to tall girl with
o long face? (2) What will make my
eyebrows and lashes long and dark?
CD What can I do for small pimples
and blackheadS on my back?
MISS VERA H.
Answer.-Usually a tall, slender girl
looks her best with long-haired coif-
fure, especially If the neck is long and
thin. A low side part that brings the
hair over the forehead will help to
make your face look shorter. Wear
your hair in low coil or twist on the
nape Of the neck. Curl few bangs on
the forehad near the part and bring a
wiSp Of hair in a curl in front of each
ear. (2) Apply vaseline or olive oil to

Nor is this the only recognition ac-
corded the animals by the Government.
In Sycamore street in Columbus,
Ohio, a one-tinae doughboy corporal
today wears the Distinguished Service
Cross because he forgot danger to him
self during a bombardment of the little

a corporal. and was made assistant

Frog was nowhere about. There was
no one.
There was q sharp sudden boom just
over Peters head that made him lump.
Yes, sir, it actually made him jump.
You see, it was so wholly unexpected
that for an instant Peter didn't realize
who or what had made that noise.
Then he realized that it was Boomer
the Nighthawk. Boomer had swooped
down in that headlong way of his to
check himself just above Peters head,
making that loud noise. And then his
swift wings had taken him up in the air
again. Peter hadn't even had time to
protest.
The faintest of faint odors tickled
the wabbly little nose of Peter. 1t
