made up his mind he was going to have one of those ducklings. They were a trifle big. to be sure, but Grandfather Frog never hesitates be- cause of size. More than once he has swallowed a fish so big that the tail would remain sticking out of his mouth for some time. So Grand father Frog had no intention of all lowing size to interfere with his ap- petite, so long as there was any chance at all of swallowing what he caught.
 Little by little the baby Quacks now drifted in nearer and nearer to where Grandfather Frog sat. All the time they were staring at him and wondering who he was and what he was They couldn't understand him at all. They were not afraid. because there was nothing to give them fear. They hadn't been warned against Grandfather Frog. So they just drfted nearer and nearer and Grandfather Frog grew moro and more excited. But he didn't show that excitement. Meanwhile. he kept a watchful eye on Mother Quack. At last he saw her start to swim over to see what the babies were look ing at He knew then that he must act quickly. He did. He made a lunge at the nearest baby and just barely missed it. But such a fright as all those babies had when Grand father Frog so abruptly came to life! How they padded for Mother, And how Mother swan to meet them, As for Grandfather Frog he dived down to the bottom of the pond and disappeared in the mud.

Talks 1oA6A0 &&kz parents
OBEDIENCE PLUS By Alice JudsOn Peale

To hear some mothers talk, one would think that obedience was the goal of all child training.
 Parents who consider obedience as an end in itself either have never thought the matter through, CT they are concerned more with their own comfort and convenience than with their child's ultimate dc yclopmont.
 A thoroughly ohcdiont cuild makes least trouble for his parents, but he IS not necessarily learning attitudes which will be of service to him in later years.
 Of course every child must learn to obey. There are many ocCa- sons, especially during the early years. when his safety and hapni- ness depend upon q blind obedience born of perfect faith in his elders.
 There are times little later when he must still obey blindly, having confidence that his parents judgment is better than his own.
 A little child should be unquos- tioningly obcdicnt in all matters that concern his safety and physI-

Burns and ScaldS

Burns dry or moist are among the most common and painful acci- dents which bafall Us.
 They require careful and skilled treatment, since both the immediate and ultimate results may be much modified for good or evil by the manner in which the injured part Is cared for.
 A burn. depending upon the ex- tent of tissue involved, and some what, too, on the form of heat or substance causing it, present a series of problems, the first of which is shock.
 When more than a third of the body is involved in the burn the result is usually fatal. The gravity of the condition seems to depend more on the extent of the skin sur- face involved than on the depth ot the injury. Burns over the abdomen or chest may prove fatal even when the area burned is relatively small. Pain naturally Is one of the im- portant considerations in dealing with burns, and frequently the pain suffered by the victim may be ex- | treme, though the skin shows only mild redness.
 The resultant scar formation and deformity is another important item to be considered in connec. | ton with burns especially if the burn involves areas about the neck, the palm of the hand or about joints.
 ] Burns naturally represent emer- gency situations. AS much care must be taken to avoid doing the wrong thing as in doing the right. | Thus every precaution possible should be taken not to injure the burned tissues. Q. If a hot fluid has soaked through the clothing and burned the tissues underneath, no attempt should be made to undress the victim, though the clothing may be cut from the burned parts.
 The time e-honored remedy of car- ron oil helps to relieve the pain and will not damage the tissues |; poured over the burned surface.

 Grandfather Frog sat on his big, green lily-pad in the Smiling Pool. His big goggly eyes seemed to be half closed. Not even when a foolish green fly came past did those eyes open. Grandfather Frog looked as 1T he were taking sun nap. Not far away Mrs. Quack and all the baby Quacks were very busy getting some thing to eat. Grandfather Frog could get glimpses of them now and then when they would come out from be- hind little tussocks of grass or bull rushes, but when he couldn't see them he could hear them. He didn seem to be in the least interested Tn them, but in reality he was.
 By and by Mrs. Quack led all the baby Quacks-nine of them-out ln- to the open water of the Smiling Pool. Such a good time as they had then, They ducked their heads under water and Tapped their tiny wings just as they had seen their mother flap her bis wings and swan round and round having a lovely time Meanwhile, Mrs. Quack, after look lng in all directions to sec that none of the Hawk family was in sight, nor Billy Mink. nor Reddy Fox, nor Snapper the Snapping Turtle. swan over to get some corn, where Farmer Browns Boy had thrown it in the Smiling Pool It was her usual feed ing place and it was near where Grandfather Frog was sitting.
 Now, Mrs. Quack was very hun gry. Despite her watchfulness she failed to notice Grandfather Frog. Perhaps that was because he didn't move and his coat was so much the color of the green things around. Had she noticed it she would have warned the babies to keep away from there. But che didn't notice and pres entity she was very busy tipping up and standing on her head in the water, Y hile she picked up that de-

So they just played around By and by one of them by chance discovered Grandfather Frog Grandfather Frog had moved ever SO little, Right away the babies gathered at safe distance, to stare at this curious old fellow. They had already seen some little Frogs, but never had they seen one as big as Grandfather Frog, and they didn't know what to make of it.
 Grandfather Frog sat still and said nothing. He didn't even blink an eye. But, 'inside, Grandfather Frog was feeling very good. He had

 Lillian came to my rescue all though she knew nothing of Harry'f prohibition concerning Mary. But with the curious mental telepathy which is sometimes strong between us, she knew that Mary's suggestion to continue her journey by rail was , worrying me, and she spoke abrups- ly. firmly.
 'I'd say that wouldn't do at all . Mary" she said. You don't kno" Harry. Hes a perfect martine, when he's dealing with anyone like this private detective. He doesn't want anything to distract his atten- ton, and he certainly would be up- set it we did not keep together un- tis we get back to him at the ho' tel"

 "Your prayer IS granted, think" I laughed, as l turned th- c4r into the open service door of a garage. Purposely I drove it to the very rear Of the place before speak ing to an attendant. Then we all three descended, and after hurried directions as to the repairing of the tire we went into the restaurant taking seats near a window where we could watch the road, ourselves unseen. Mary took a strategic posi- rlon, where if MT. Eeritzen should get out of his car and approach the restaurant she could dodge into a small room adjoining.
 But her precautions were unnec. essary. Only q few minutes aft,I the tire was completed, Mary gave a muffled little shriek.
 There they come. Isn't that the car?"
 It was indeed the Neritzen limou- sine which went by with Otto ot the wheel and Philip Veritzen. with his face close to the glass, peerina out over the snowdrifts."
 Did you notice the speed al which they're traveling?" Lilliar asked
 Yes, a snail's pace compared tc Otto's usual rate" I replied. "Mr Veritzen evidently intends to keer behind us all the while"

 'I don't know" I said honestly.

Boiling Point of Water

The boiling point of water varies
with the pressure. In water under or
binary conditions 1t is 212 degrees
Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Centigrade,
but it becomes less with lessened at
mospheric pressure, as in ascending
a mountain. being lowered about one
degree Fahrenheit for every $50 feet
of ascent or one degree Centigrade for
every 961 feet. The boiling point Of
water at the summit Of Mt. Blanc
(15,7S1 feet) is about S5 degrees Cent?
grade. 1t would take less heat to
raise the temperature Of water to IS
degrees Centigrade than 1t would take
to raise 1t to 100 degrees Centigrade.
Thus water would boil more quickly
at higher level.

SLOWING Down
ADVOCATED TO
MOVE TRAFFIC
Survey. Shows Efficiency Is
Greatest at Rate of
23.5 Miles an Hour.

Slowing down Of city motor traf-
nc TO 235 miles per hour was ad-
vocated today by Henry B. Steeg.
city plan commission engineer, to
obtain greater efficiency in traffic
movement.
Steeg surveyed traffic conditions
and said he found that 23.5 miles
is the most efficient speed for
handling city traffic. permitting the
maximum flow. experimentation OF
all electrical stop signals with that
speed was suggested.
The faster cars move, the fewer
can be handled properly IN city
traffic, after certain point is
reached, Steeg said. Almost as
many machines can be handled at
five miles per hour rate as at nifty.
Steeg's conclusions we're based on
calculations of the rate OF slowing
down the average car at various
speeds and the time required for the
average brain to signal the foot to
use the brake instead of accelerator.
One-fifth of a second is required for
the brain impulse in normal per-
son, he said.
As an aid to the citizens traffic
committee Steeg prepared chart,
showing the rate of flow per hour
at various speeds, as follows: Five
miles per hour, 1880 cars; 10 m. p. h..
2.1OO cars; Is m. p h., 2,430; 20
m. D. h., $3.50; 23.5 m. p. h., $500;
