BEDTIME STORIES
BY Thornton
". Burgess.

and his long hair was dripping muddy
water. His big tail, in which, he takes
so much pride. was wet, muddy and
dragging Overhead Whitehall and
Mrs. Whitehall were screaming and div
ing at him whenever they caught
glimpse of him through the bushes. He
acl1ed and smarted and felt as miser-
able as ever he had felt in all his life.
Finally he crawled under an overhang-
ing rock where he couldn't be seen and
the Whitetails flew back to their
precious family.
What to do now? Reddy was
ashamed to be seen by any one, but
most of all by Mrs Reddy. What would
say?
Il just can't have her see me look
ing like this" he muttered as he licked
his wounds. II just can't do il"
Yet he knew that he must go home
sooner or later for he, too, had family
to be fed, and it wouldn't do to leave
Mrs. Reddy to 90 all the hunting. She
would be wondering why he didn't re-
turn and worrying for fear something
had happened, and she with a big
family to feed and watch over.
At last when he had improved his
appearance somewhat. although he was
still sorry sight, he crept out and
started slowly toward home. He was
stiff and lame and sore. 1t was all he
could do to keep from whimpering. He
heard Mrs. Reddy bark: That was
meant for him. He didn't answer.
How could he go home looking as he
did and taking nothing for those
hungry youngsters?
lust then he had a bit of luck. A
Mouse darted out from under an old
log. Reddy forgot that he was lame,
stiff and sore. In flash he had
bounced on that Mouse. Again he
heard the bark of Mrs. Reddy. This
time he answered. She would know
now that he was on his way home, so
there was nothing to do but keep on.
But with every step he felt more
ashamed.
So at last he limped out of the bushes
that surrounded his home. Mrs. Reddy
was sitting on the doorstep while six
woolly, little, bright-eyed foxes rolled
and tumbled about her. For just an
instant Mrs. Reddy grinned when she
saw Reddy. He didn't see it for he
wasn't looking at her, which was Just
as we'll perhaps. She got to her feet
and came to meet him. She took the
Mouse and gave it to one of the young
sters and at once the others tried to
take it away from him. Then Mrs.
Reddy began to lick Reddy's wounds.
Had she been human being she
probably would have said, We'll, what
have you been doing, monkeying with
buzz SAW" Being a wise old Fox,
she asked no questions but did what she
could to make Reddy feel better. She
knew that she would hear all about 1t
in time.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

When baby is learning to walk, his
parents, Of necessity, play a passive
role. If he wants to struggle up
dozen times a day and stand with legs
far apart, weaving about uncertainty,
little they can do will discourage him.
If he is slow to pursue this new acttv-
ity-mothers are seldom entirely salts
fed, baby always being too active or
too inactive to suit them-they are
equally helpless. Nature goes Its own
Mrs. D. D. S. is annoyed by her baby's
urecocious interest in this activity.
Baby isn't eight months DID,, yet she
stands in her play-pen and seems TO
want to walk, She queries:
shall We encourage this tendency or
will baby be bow-legged if she walks too
early? She is quite heavy, weighing
nearly % pounds, but very active.
think this Is because she has never worn
more than a shirt diaper, and bootees
since she was born.
"She seems to stand on the inner
side of her foot. Is this natural? How
shall I buy her shoes, shall take her
along and have them fitted, or measure
her foot and go by that? Shall buy
them larger than her foot, or just the
right size and renew them oftener? Are
laced shoes better than buttoned ones,
or does it matter?
ST give her two teaspoons of cod liver
oil: as she has no teeth, shall increase
this amount? She eats lots of spinach
and carrots; in fact, anything I offer
her. I give her three teaspoons of
orange juice. three times daily. Is
this too much?"
The rickety baby. whose bones are so
soft that early standing might bow
them. is seldom 50 eager to stand as
this baby There NAV be some lengthy
interval between this experimental
standing and actual walking.
I should let the baby pull herself to
her feet and when she has stood for
few moments, seat her again gently
This is about the only encouragement
YOU can offer. She should be having
the opportunity to both crawl and
stand up. and she gets this during the
hours she is in her play-pen.
When she is standing, put on shoe
This will 90 away with the awkward
way of standing. 1t is immaterial
whether the shoe is a high-laced one
or a buttoned one, though it is easier
to adjust laced shoe over baby's leg
so that it always fits neatly and stays
in place on the foot The sole should
be soft and pliable. Fit it from three
quarters 10 one lncn longer IIldn pdpy
foot and sufficiently wide to allow for
free spreading of toes. Take the baby
with you and fit the shoe properly.
Two teaspoonfuls of cod liver oil are
enough for one day. Now that sun
baths are in season. you can dispense
with the oil and begin those. She needs
cereal, milk, vegetables and fruit
juices The amout of orange juice you
are using is all right. A baby this age
can usually take about two ounces daily,
just twice as much as you are giving.

Get rid of dandruff. Anyone can.
And no one can ever hide it. In its
secondary stage, the infested scalp sheds
enough dead scale to fill a tablespoon

And simple treatment will end this

Dandruff is caused by lazy glands that
won't open and close. They need to be
stimulated. You can do this with your

GLANDS

Don't neglect lazy glands, or the scalp
will granulate and leave the hair dry as
straw-and as dead. Even its color is
affected when roots are starved, and
telltale streaks must be touched up"
Hyou will only stimulate the glands
you won't have to use color restorers.
Glands that stay open are just as
bad! Hair and scalp get oily and odorous
soil and smell-up your hats. Danderine
is positive corrective of this condition.
It's medicine meant for sick scalps.
And its fresh fragrance makes it fine
for brushing through the hair as the
finishing touch to head daintiness.

DiSpOSable Handkerchief

THE drastic need for Kleenex
In the scientific laboratory.
A series of authentic tests reveal
the handkerchief source OF almost
incredible danger during colds.
Handkerchiefs used during colds
were found to contain UP to 4,170,-
900 disease germs!
Think, then, before you carry a
used handkerchief back to your
facet 1t is not only damp, soiled,
disgusting lit teens with germs
that must be destroyed.
Use KIOenOx-and discard
When you use Kleenex, there's no
possible danger of self-infection
from handkerchiefs. You use
Kleenex once then discard. Germs
are destroyed, too. Each tissue that
touches your face is clean.
You'll value the greater comfort
of I&leeneS, too. The tissues are
exquisitely fine and soft. They are
r1arvelously absorbent seeming
actually to soothe the tender, in

A Federal Job Agency

An extra session Of congress may be forced by
failure Of the house rules committee to report the
Wagner bill for establishing a co-ordnated national
employment service. This would provide federal aid
and supervision for cooperative system of ex-
changes operated by the states.
For months the rules committee has been refus-
ing to let this bill to vote. The senate passed
the bill and the house judiciary committee reported
it favorably last June. The rules committee alone
stands in the way of enactment and material benefit
to the unemployed.
Congress already has, outrageously delayed
passage of the Wagner unemployment bills for three
years, and most of this delay has occurred in the
house. deathbed conversion on the second of the
three, the public works BILL is not enough for the
house to offer now
The very least that should be done at once, in
the way of permanent preventives for unemployment.
Is enactment OF all three Of these bills and adoption
OF Senator Wagner's suggestion that unemployment
insurance be studied before a new session of con-
greSs meets.

Why Reformation Fails

In criticsing the methods followed in American
reformatories and houses of correction, William N
Bremen, former chaplain Of the Philadelphia county
prisons recently made remarks that ought to be
given publicity from one end of the country to the
other.
The terms 'reformatories' and houses of correc-
ton misnomers," says Bremen. They accomplish
anything but that which their names imply These
institutions dens Of contamination and stepping
stones to the penitentiary and the electric chair
convcs returned to prison so rapidly that penal
institutions not be built fast enough to accomo-
date them"
Bremen also points out that trainers Of wild
beasts do much better at reforming" their charges
than the state does in handling criminals and sug-
gests that this is because the animal trainers use more
intelligence in the way they go about their work
If animals, he says, were locked in cells, fed and
watered and then left to their own devices as in the
case with convicts-very little would be accomplished
Those who oppose spending money on prison re-
form are invited to ponder on those remarks

Aid UnemnIoyed Veterans

! For the first time in several weeks break seems
likely in the congressional deadlock demands of
some veterans organizations for immediate cash pay
ment of bonus certificates.
bill is being worked out to increase the loan
value Of the certificates from % to so per cent and
to cut interest charges from to per cent on such
loans.
This apparently is meeting favor with some of the
veterans who beginning to be convinced that the
original So 100000 cash payment proposal would
entail bond issue proonging business depression.
Those closest to the congressional situation say the
$3,4OO 100000 plan has no chance Of becoming law
They add that a continued deadlock would end in a
minute enactment of compromise cash payment
plan which would be pocket-vetoed by the President
The net result would be that the veterons would
get no help whatever.
We believe that would be an unfortunate result We
have opposed the blanket cash payment plan because
it would proong the business depression and because
the money would go to all veterans including the vast
majority who are employed and do not need thus to
sacrifice their bonus certificates eventual value.
But we desire that veterans who need aid shall be
aided Therefore we believe that the loan value of
their bonus certificates should be appreciaby in
creased and interest charges reduced.
In addition, unemployed veterans together with
the other unemployed, should be aided by federal
funds where local and private relief has proved in
adequate That is of the purposes of the $25000
600 relief measure which has passed the senate but
is blocked by Hoover adherents in the house and
the Red Gross board.
If the veterans organizations want to push the
only practicable plan for direct aid to unemployed vet
Grams they should get behind this general unemploy
rnent relief measure which hitherto they have ig-
nored largely.

It Suits EN- All

MTO one can quarrel with the
IN grape growers of California
for marketing their crop anywhere,
or in any form. 1t is not against
the law to raise grapes any more
than it is to raise corn, rye, or
barley.
No one can quarrel with the farm
board for allowing them to share in
fund which was created to help
farmers. 1t is not the farm boards
privilege to discriminate among
crops. No one can quarrel with
those who buy grapes, whether
fresh, dried, or concentrated, as
long as the form in which they are
bought is legal.
No one can quarrel with the idea
of adding water, since water ad-
mittedly is the most innocent of all
fluids, Or of letting the mixture
stand for week, a month, or a
year.
Figure out the combination any
way you like, and each step in it is
strictly according to law.
Yet it leads to notification of the
law. That is what makes it so
popular.
