 Within a short time he had perked up and was giving orders as if he really were somebody around there. To Jcnky they were warmly subseryient. leaping to do her will with competitive eagerness that she found irresistibly fiattering. She confided to Ginger that she had to admit she had grossly misjudged guage into which they always lapsed when they were excited she wouldn't believe they were foreign CTS at all but just like everybody else.
 When the carpenters had finished work on the house and outbuildings, Ginger had them put in q small boat t-landing on the rocks by the river directly back of the house.
 Ginger had a use for that boat landing, for ssIIe had bought at a great reduction from the Holiday Hardware store three canoes which summer for five years at steadily decreasing prices. There wasn't much naviGnb ble river in that part of the country. but hat least there was the pool opposite and a small stretch of good stream. Besides. the landing was effectitesand the boats lying bottom side up lent a great deal of country club atm osphere.
 Benito was very fond of boating. And on the second day after his arrival. although he admitted that the boat was "aueer shaped" and he didn't altogether understand the use Of one oar, he ventured bravely forth in one of the canoes.
 
 "You can't row with one!" he shouted back to the group on shore. "She turns around"
 Don't row. don't row." called Bard. "Paddle--stand up in the end and paddle! It isn't q rowboat."
 Benito boldly stood up and thrust the paddle into tho water. Tho canoe spun around once and slid neatly out from under him. Bard pulled the crestfallen man safely back to shore. amid the derisive jeers of his fellow countrymen. He took 1t In good part.

 The next morning. having gained tho consent of Jenky, he hitched up Mrs Carter to the old buggy and spent great many hours jogging slowly around the neighborhood from farmhouse to farmhouse mak- ing inquiries. until he discovered an

!. YOUR . Q1I3 CHILDREN
WNlpRobe7sBar1du
NCio3i BY NfA SfRVICe: INC. C

Dr Roy Chapman Andrews. in a Mongolian Desert and his experi- ences there Is 'unearthipg ,prehis- toric fossils. declared that they found 1t to be a good thing for their men to have pets.
 The audience was treated to nov ing pictures of some of these pets so l shall take q moment to de- scribe them.
 One was tiny hedgehog the size Of q mans hand. He performed for us as a hedgehog should, rolled himself up in Q ball, and persist ently refused to be unfurled even when Dr Chapman's big dog played parchesi with him and rolled him around with his nose.
 The men. also had a. pair Q. of Hedging eagles, discovered in mountain nest while their mother was out marketing.
 Owl Had Comic Role
 baby owl, called Charlie Chaplin on account of his funny waddiing walk. was a source of endless amusement to the men, Dr Andrews said. Indeed; when the tiny puff ball walked away from us on the screen he was a riot. never saw anything fun- HIeT III ny Hle.
 Quite as amusing was a baby antelope who refused to accept a camp goat for its mother. One of the men in the exploring party decided to bring 1t up by hand and improvIsed a bottle. Every two hours for night and day he got up, heated the milk and fed the desert ceeded in weaning 1t backwards, for at last 1t decided that goat milk on tap was at least as good as goat milk in the bottle.
 But the goat was too short, ard the gangling youngster too tall for successful nursing performance. Resource again came into play and two stones were placed to elevate Mrs Goat an extra ten inches from the ground. Baby Antelope then stood up on natures counter for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with out any moro difficulty. It grew and thrived and became q regular antelope and continued to be camp pet for some time.
 An Argument for Pets
 There were other pets. of course, but these serve to make my point. The men on this expedition endured terrible hardships. Life at 14O and 160 degrees Fahrenheit is no picnic. Add to this enforced marches tHTouBn ainoSt lWpHssaDIe country, encounters with brigands. sand storms. days of deluge long periods of terrible waiting. and If morale can stand up under that 1t can stand anything.
 Now we see why Dr Andrews de- clares that pets are good thing" It Is not the mere amusement that appeal. Here were helpless things to be cared for. cherished.
 All this proves my point Of pets for children, too --- for the idea Is the same. I think I wouldn't bring child up without something to love and feel responsible for q dog. q eat. rabbits. bird any thing alive that must look 10 him for shelter and care. Companion- ship is part of 1t but there is the other side. too. If grown men. and serious men. see q need in. having pets what must be the effect on child? The question answers itself.

 When you get out your golf sticks this spring, or start out to watch someone else tee off or play polo or a round of tennis, or if you want colorful suit to wear under your new coat, you can look ador- ably feminine in the new sports things. but not the least bit "glrlie."
 Soft of line, new sports outfits have an elegance about them that gives you the dignity that is an ex- cellent SpOrtswOmnn's duc--whethcr she be 6 spectator yportswoman or one who swings q good croquet mal- let heraelf.

NL JNeW nuEucu
 II Is more than sublime enter lar United Artists production, Abraham Lincoln," which opened at the New Garden theater yester- day. It is more than the mere marshnlling of Interesting facts into patternwork of sympathetic TO- nance and vivid drama: 1t is the life of Lincoln. not merely the apo theosiZcd saint of the copy books, nor yet the Lincoln of the lusty jokes and tragic moods, but the man of destiny. the mystic and the prophet. 5,,
 Sheer lyrical poetry creeps into those rich passages of romance which show Lincoln and the un- fortunate Ann Rutledge tasting the first fruits of their soon-to be- ended love. If 1t is true that there is a growing literature of the screen. this scene will easily find it's place of tragic beauty.
 It is impossible to point the fin- ger of admiration at any ono partic- ular scene of this picture. without sighting the whole. Griffith has managed perhaps the most difficut directorial job ever undertaken hack to the time of his Birth of a Nation"
 A personality that breaks femi- nine hearts; smile that's n mag net for popular favor: Chevalier brings all of his bubbling esthusi- nsm. his joyous laugh making to his latest comedy-romnnce, "Play- hoy of Paris" which Is the compan- ion picture.
