Was bright and cheerful. brave and
gay. though playing all alone.
Her wiggling, woofng pup-dog was
filled with wild delight,
He romped and strolled, he ran and
rolled. with all his main and

With Ducky-Daddles cheering quite

That night was pinned on Seraphina

Answers:

I. The Northern Lights, otherwise
called the Aurora Borealis, are made
by some sort of a discharge Of cleo
tricity into the atmosphere. This
discharge may come from the sun.
Q. Because the pupils Of the eyes
of those animals open much more
widely than the pupils of the hu-
man eyes.
8. 1t is warmer In summer be-
cause the sun is higher in the heav-
ems than 1t is in the winter and its
rays are therefore more direct; and
then also because the days are long
er and the earth has more chance
to store up heat during the day.
4. So the cat can lick the meat OF
the bones he eats.
s. Yes, the hard-shelled crabs shed
their shells every once in a while,
and when they first pull out from
the old shell, the new shell is soft.
In few hours the new shell is as
hard as the old.

What do society girls do when

a girl-Helen Blake played by

In this story the heroine is even

turns out to be a worthless fortune

their money going, goes himself,

is ended with a brilliant series of
scenes in which acting and plot

PRECAUTIONS FOR CHILDREN
ON VACATION TOLD PARENTS
Safeguards Should Protect Water Milk and Other Food
Experts Say.

is unobtainable, boil the raw milk For
children under two years all milk must
be boiled. Keep cold and we'll covered.
Do not buy food for children from
street carts or from counters where it
has been exposed to dirt and dust and
flies.
Give the child plenty of fresh. green
leafy vegetables and ripe, fresh fruits. Be
sure that those to be eaten raw are
washed in water known to be safe
Children more than Is months may
have meat or fish and a fresh egg daily
Every child should be outdoors five to
six hours daily, except in rainy or very
windy days. In the hottest weather
children should stay in the shade dur
ing the middle of the day.
Children under 6 need a midday rest
with at least one or two hours sleep.
Let the child get well tanned gradu-
ally but not sunburned. Sun suit and
sandals are all he needs for a large
part of the day. In cooler Summer
weather he will need cotton underwear,
cotton suit or dress. short socks, shoes
and a sweater when he is not in the
sun. Clothing that is too warm makes
child perspire too much and take cold
easily.
Give daily bath, preferably late in
the afternoon.

EVANSVILLE, Md, June 8.-The
building code for Prince Georges County
authorized by the last Legislature has
been drafted and approved by the
Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and will go into
effect about July Is.
The new code is rs pages in length
and similar, although somewhat simpler,
to the codes in force in Washington
and suburban districts of Montgomery
County Conformity in the building
regulations of the entire metropolitan
area has long been sought and is finally
achieved through the new Prince
Georges code.
Outstanding features of the code. ac-
cording to Irving C. Root, chief engi-
neer of the commission, are definite
regulations covering the thickness o.
walls and other items that will assure
safety of construction and adequate fire
protection.
The code also sets up particular

Advice to parents planning Summer

Advice to parents planning Summer
vacat lions with children has been made
public by the Childrens Bureau, United
States Department of Labor. A close
adherence to the dos" and the
"dont's" of the bureau should prevent
many of the childhood complaints and
illnesses which frequently occur through
out vacation time.
Some of the precautionary meaures
urged by the bureau are:
If travelling to place where typhoid
may be, have the children inoculated
Do not let the children drink water
from roadside springs or other sources
not known to be safe. For short eX-
cursions, carry safe water with you.
Boil all drinking water not definitely
known to be safe.
If you are planning a vacation from
home, be sure that the house to which
you are going is clean and we'll screen
ed and that the milk and water sup
plies are safe.
See that the child drinks three or
four glasses of cool, unflavored water
daily Fresh fruit orangeade and lem
onade and tomato juice may be given
also, but tea, coffee and some bottled
drinks contain stimulant which chill
dren should not have.
Use no raw milk. If pasteurized milk

ings, motion picture houses and halls
All must be thoroughly f1re-resisting,
but the requirements are more strict for
the larger buildings. Those which
house more than 800 are in one class
and those with capacity of 1900 or
more In another class.
A higher type of construction will be
required in commercial zones, under the
new code, the commission aiming to
make all structures in areas of this sort
as fire-resisting as possible.
One of the chief benefits of the new
code, Engineer Root says, will be the
protection afforded purchasers of homes,
who will in the future know the prop"
erty they are buying meets certain
specifications. At present purchasers
have no assurance of the type of con-
struction that goes into the homes OF
the county.
A building inspector, who will make
periodic examinations during the period
Of construction, is called for under the
law authorizing the building code and
will be appointed soon by the commits
sion. A fee of 81 per 81 900 will be
made for this service, the minimum
charge being 81.
The building inspector will be paid
entirely from the fees received. Based
on the figures of the past two years, the
income from the fees would only be
about $1,000, according to T. Howard
Duckett, member of the commission.
This estimate has somewhat upset the
commissions plans, for 1t was intended
to have full-time building inspector
If only 1000 can be paid, however, it
will be necessary to employ man on
part-time basis.

code and the work of the building in
