 -Old Mother Nature.
 Living in the hole in the bank of the Smiling Pool might be safer. but certainly it was not nearly 90 comfortable as living III the big house out in the Smiling Pool. When Jerry Muskrat and Mrs. Jcr- " and Stumpy and his sister were Ill in there that bedroom WAS -rovdcd. Even so small as person

When you are out for exercise or to get something to eat never for one single little minute forget to watch out for Little Joe Otter IT you suspect he is about you make straight for this house here in the bank.

 Tt is all nonsense" Shc declared 70 SmnpN That is what if is-aI nonsense. That Otter may never come this way and if he does he won't catch me. I'm not afraid Of him. There IS that big comfortable house standing empty all because father and mother are nervous. I guess they are getting old and fool ish. Whats the good Of living if you can't live in comfort and do what you want to?"

 It was Mary who answered, im retuousIy more quickly, I saw. than Noel rclished, for his eyes shadowed at her reply.
 There's only one thing 10 keep me from marrying Noel tomorrow" she said and that's the fear Of hamperins his career-or mine-if 1 have one"

Talks 10 A6A A &G4 parents
Family Background
By Alice Judson Peale

By Alice Judson Peaie
 The child Of today is closely at tarhcd 10 his family as q small unit comprising only his father and mother, and brothers and sisters, If he is lucky enough to have any.
 Grandmothers, grandfathers. un- cIes. aunts and cousins have gradu- ally faded out Of the picture. More modern children grow up without ever knowing the arduous pleasures of a family reunion,
 In the days when it was common for a grandparcnt or an unmarried aunt or uncle to make his home with the family. and when family festivals and anniversaries were held, the child Was given the bcnc- fit Of the type of association which was not without its good influence upon his personality.
 Relatives are seldom entirely con- genial people. Association with them is not often an unmitigated pleasure. The child Of yesterday had the benefit Of seeing the con- sideration given without question 10 the very old, Of observing mothers loyalty to Aunt Mary in spite Of cer- tain unlovablc peculiaritics.
 Ha noted the tolerance and fri-ndiiuess of IHs parents towards certain of his cousins who did not meet with their approval.
 Thus active contact with the larger family group could at its best teach him lessons which it is not easy for him to learn in any other way.
 The modern child grows up in home which because of its exclu- siveness can be critical and self centered with impunitI.
 The specializing influence of the modern educational system and the many contacts which children make in urban communities can only par ually offset this io-S.

Mrs. Jerry didn't consider safe. Se- cretly she made fun of her father and mother and Stumpy for being so timid and over and over again she declared to stumpy that it was all fooishness.
 Then came morning when Sunny and his sister went out for breakfast before their parents were awake. AS usual Stumpy first went up under the edge Of the bank where there was plenty os air be- meath the ice. and there he re- mained while he tried to make sure that all was saft. Not so his nilful headstrong sis CT. She boldly span straight out into the middle or the Smiling Pool on her way to the oth. CT side where grew the roots shc liked best. Tn the dim light Stumpy caught glimpse Of a dark form shooting through the water from the direction Of the Laughing Brook. Stumpy hadn't supposed that anyone could swim so fast He had d sum tSE VI lilo SloleI SUultiIlH beginning to swim trantically for the entrance 10 their biz house. The big dark stranger shot down after her. There was q churning and boil ing Of tha water down there and then the stranger disappeared and with him disappeared Stumpys will full young sister.
 IL all happened so quickly that Sunny could hardly be sure that he had seen it. He dived for the entrance 10 the hole in the bank and thankfully crept into the crowd ed little bedroom at the end. He knew that he had seen Little Joe Otter. He wondered if he ever " ould see his sister again. He never did.

THE taking of methanol as a substi-

DR.. Erlanger. at Is generally assumed
that the parts most affected are the
ganglion cells of the retina, or even
the optic nerve itself. OF course, the
sooner treatment begins the better. The
main thing Is to stimulate the circula-
ton in the retina and at the same time
to bring about detoxication of the
retina.
I'm cases of similar nature I have
found that the best results are obtained
by combining the So-called ionization
of the eye with the diathermic treat

PROTEST Is MADE
ON RAILWAY DEAL
Proposed Transfer Of Cotton Belt
to Southern Pacific Discussed
at &c. G. Hearing.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex, october 21.-Possible
opposition by competitive Southwestern
railroads to the proposed purchase of
the Cotton Belt by the Southern Pacific
was indicated at an Interstate Com
merce Commission hearing here yester-
day
Representatives of the Southern Pa
cific said they were unwilling to allow
the commission to prescribe that exist
ing routes of traffic must be maintained
after the sale. Offlcials of the Katy, St.
Louis & San Francisco, Rock Island
and Texas g. Pacific systems had prom
tsed to intervene unless they were guar
anteed continuation Of traffic now given
the lines at Southern Pacific connec-
lions.
Hale Holden, chairman of the South
ern Pacific Executive Committee, said
1t was not his roads intention to change
any OF the existing routes of traffic. He
explained, however, that he was I'M
willing Tor any order to be entered
which would bind the Southern Pacific
to the present traffic Interchange. 1--WE
cannot tell what conditions may arise
in the future" he said.
Holden would not say whether the
Southern Pacific would go ahead with
It's plans to purchase If such an order
should be issued.
The hearing attracted about 100 rail-
road and Chamber of Commerce repre-
sentatives from Texas, Louisiana. Ar
kansas, tennessee and Missouri.
