| Still the secret eludes us. for these
things have been part and parcel OF
| many good novels, and still are, but
they are not sufficient in themselves
to explain the hold this writer has on
the reader under survey.
He has reached the point, with this,
his author, that he finds himself will
| ing and eager to accept anything ne
wrote. knowing in advance that he Will
be we'll pleased.
That Is what is known as reader
happiness.
Consider reader happiness for mo-
ment.
There are many sorts of happinesses in
the world, despite the fact that we do
not know exactly why we are here or
| where we are going.
Though certain peSsimiSm is at the
root Of life, there are happinesses LOT
most human beings God willing. which
1t III behooves any man TO cry GOWN.
The happiness of the nearer OF good
music is one.
The happiness Of the advocate OF
| open-air sports is another.
The happiness of congenial work Is
another.
The happiness of the home is
another.
The happiness Of good book is an
other; when a reader is in the midst
OF book which suits him, then he
knows reader happiness.
It is this particular sort of happiness
which he finds difficult to explain to
himself, because it transcendS the effort
to catch it in net OF words.
1t is not one or more of the Sepa-
rate good qualities which the writer
may have, nor is it the result OF the
blend of them.
The reader asks himself at last; Can
I it be because the writer and l are
alike?"
This is an idea, undoubtedly, one
which every reader of good books must
ask himself, in regard to all the writer's
he prefers, and especially those he
likes best.
1t is pleasant to dabble with the
idea that two souls are born, the world
apart to have certain qualities in COM
mon, so that when they meet at last,
between the pages Of book, they clasp
hands in true fraternity.

Children Hurt Squirrels
By Collecting Acorns

To the Editor of The Star:
The cold weather will soon be here
and the poor squirrels will suffer for
food II their acorns are taken away by
school children. Returning from school,
they rush into the streets with large
paper bags, filling them with acorns,
no use whatever to them. Last Winter
the squirrels deserted the streets west
of Sixteenth street and above Column
bia road. Hope their mothers will ex-
plain this to the children.

WARNING AGAINST
FIRES REPEATED

Fire danger in the Beartooths
is still extreme. The following
warning is issued by Ranger l..
H. Mclean of the Rock Greek
station.
Although considerable mois-
ture has fallen in the main divi-
sion of the Beartooth range dur
ing the past week, some portions
remain extremely dry and suscep-
tible to fire. On the Saltwater,
Rosebuds, and Pryor districts,
very little moisture has fallen,
which leaves the forest cover in
highly inflammable condition.
Due to the lack of rain and the
early maturity of all vegetation,
the fire hazard is increasing daily,
and to prevent serious outbreak
of fire in this vicinity all persons
entering the forest are urged to
cooperate to the fullest degree.
During the 10 day period end
irg July 20, there occurred in the
states of Montana and Idaho 103
fires on National Forest land, of
this number 73 were the result of
carelessness. Thoughtless smok-
ers tossed away their lighted mat
ches and cigarets before thinking
and caused 25 of the fires. The
careless camper left bad record
along his route of travel.
Under Regional Headquarters
orders, all rangers of this section
have been instructed to enforce the
regulation pertaining to fire tools
carried by all cars and pack trains
entering the National Forests.
The equipment consists of man.
sized shovel with thirty inch ham
die. an axe not less than twp
pounds in weight and a water
on all roads as long as the fire
danger exists to enforce this reg
ulation. By having this equip
ment, camp fires can be built in
safe places and properly extin-
guihsed. In case a small fire is
noticed along the road or trail, it
can be quickly extinguished by
having the proper tools. This is
small favor to ask of campers
or forest visitors in return for the
interest and enjoyment gained
from forest camping trips. Peo-
pie dc not camp in burned over
areas. There is a reason. Think
it over.

Perhaps the only fire to be re-
ported in the Beartooths this sum
muer was a blaze near Beartooth
lake last week. A small blaze
west of Beartooth butte was dis
covered Saturday by Ranger Earl
Parks, who with Chuff Wagoman,
managed to extinguish the fire
before serious damage was done.

hotel. a woman passed them. Gid- con waved his hand at her in . fa- miliar greeting.
 Judy at once recognized that long, sallow face, the bold, indif- ferent, half-humorous gaze, and the raven-black hair of storm away's portrait. The long drop earrings were of black, pear shaped pearls to-day. The woman had a superb figure, and was dressed in black. with regal sable furs.
 My sister," Gideon said to Judy. There Is a charity bazaar on here to-day, and she has . booth."
 Judy met his eyes with blank stare. She was furious with him for making her realise that she was not ot his world. He had at- sister. He would come and mix with her friends, but she was not good enough for his. T must get back to Dickbreads," l" she said. He. was mad with me for coming"
 "I'll drive you" :.
 NO, thanks! I'll get on Q bus"
 He gave way, seeing that she was irritated. She would have been more furious still could she but have known that 1t never entered his head that she could be angry with him because he had not intro. duced her to his sister. She would not shake hands at parting, and, when she begged her to think well about his offer, she did not answer him.
 The first afternoon, close on 5 o'clock, she stumbled out Of Max Dickbread's studio, half dead with fatigue. The great man had fin- ished his picture, and, raving at its badness had pushed a 50-dollar bill into her hand. This represented riches to Judy, but she was too tired to think of the nice things 1t would buy.
 The acute financial crisis, in- deed, was over. Judy could always earn enough for her own cratic needs, in which fod played such ( small part. Their rooms were ri. diculously cheap. and now that Chummy had her little allowance and all her wits about her, and the doctor was paid, and every thing was going smoothly, there was no need to worry about money at all.
 It had been a wonderful day, and Judy, though such a town bird, sighed for fresh air and trees and some open space. She boarded a bus to go down Fifth avenue, but at Central Park she got out. Almost the first person she met was Alan Steyne.

Washable Wall Paper for Dining Room

flowers. In such a room, the family meets in an atmosphere of gracious living.
 The dining room, pictured above seems to fulfill all the best re- quirements for its purpose, the wall paper, as in many another dining room, lending much to the general excellence of the decora- ton. It is in a model house lately erected near Indianapolis.
 The decorator chose for this room an endural wall paper in g pleasing, though subdued, pattern with small motifs, washable, as the paper in all the rooms should be, but with surface without gloss. This, of course, adds to the life of the paper and prevents il from overpowering the rest of the room by shiny colors.
 Our forbears used to paper their colonial halls with papers of a glossy surface and to some degree resistant to stains from dust, but the mat surfaced washable papers are, of course, the product of modern chemistry and modern de- mands. Such q room as this. charming in itself, because of It's proper use of colour, will retain its charm for long years and re- main a delight to the family and dignified addition to the gen. eral good taste of the home.

We hear now that Thomas A Edison was nor a one-hundred-per cent report-card scholar. On the contrary he had considerable diff ficuity in getting his lessons. Just another example of the last becoming first, of the pupil who appears to be stupid turning out @ genius. And 1t happens over and over again all around us.
 It does not necessarily follow that the boy who always walked off with the first seat find himself in the bread line. I remember one boy inevitably at the head of his class who now just a little past thirty is making perfectly enor- nous salary with one of the larg- est industrial companies in the country. It was not luck-he de- serves 1t. He started out very DOT boy with literally nothing Brains and terribly hard work did 1t.
 But if we look about I think we shall find that the large per centage of successful men and wo- men have not been class eladers; indeed, like. Edison, quite the con- trary.
 Some divine spark of courage and confidence, however, was there to take the place of parsing and diagraming and finding the least common denaminator, Either al home, or at school, or both-they Ihave met with encouragement ant AA 1AA ak alive their self respct.
 Whn Faith Vanishes.
 Nothing so reduces a boys nerve as to sit in school day after day and fail in his lessons. The very fact is an insult to his faith in himself. He knows how the other pupils regard him-he knows what the teacher thinks, because she tells him.
 Just no good! That very soon becomes his estimate of himself 1 At home his parents drive him. No use! He cannot do sums, he can not spell, he cannot conjugate. His writing Is horrible" And so he goes on, the perennial class dunce becoming each year more obsessed with his worthlessness.
 The necessary IninS iS hot to lament those eos on his report card, but to save that spark of in- dependence and courage so neces- sary to later happiness and success. After all, our grade schools teach only a dozen things. In the world there are tens of thousands of things to be learned and practiced. Change the curriculum of the school, and substitute--say simple electricity for parsing and watch history, or gardening for spelling, the table turn; or chemistry for or the violin for arithmetic. Who would be last now?
 Our schools are compelled to adopt the sheep system-that can not be helped, at least not now. And the three R's are still necessary. but be sure that the last of the flock is not an unhappy wild deni- zen of the mountains, now lost and forlorn. When he gets away from the shepherds he may mount higher crags, stand on dizzier heights than the other dream of.

lures that I had a million dollars and that didn't have to work un- less got what wanted. So all had to do was ask and received"
 Connie forgets to mention one thing when she tells about getting just about everything she wants. That is her tremendous draw at the box office. Even a million dollars in the bank doesn't get one a $30,- 900 a week salary unless the person really has something to offer. Of course, the actress doesn't get that every week. But she did receive 1t for the five weeks she spent making a picture for Warner Brothers. And her contract with them calls for another film at the same price. The rest of the time she must struggle along on $7,500 a week.
 Much has been written about Comics tremendous salary. Yet she talks about 1t least. In fact, unless directly questioned, she never even mentions it. Despite that, she has the reputation of be- ing money mad-which, perhaps, is a good thing. Producers are afraid even to talk to her unless they can offer her sum that would stagger a horse. It is said that around studio Miss Bennett Is quite a business woman.
 It's at the studio that you are apt to be irritated with her. But no matter what the degree of irrita- tion, you're bound to get over 1t when you see her at home later on. There she drops her studio air and becomes just a regular girl, in- tensely interested in football and tennis. And she tries as hard to please as she insists upon being pleased at the studio.
