had forgotten.
It was Chicoree who discovered
Sharpshin. Chicoree had stopped on
the top of another sunfiower plant TO
get his breath and wisely he took a
hasty look around. He saw Sharpshln
lust as the latter started that way. He
was coming fast, terribly fast. Not a
moment was TO be lost. Chicoree dived
headlong in under the long leaves Of
the cornstalks where he would be at
least partly hidden from the fierce
sharp eyes. But even in his fright ne
didn't forget to warn Danny and Nanny
Meadow Mouse Even as he took that
headlong dive he shrieked 8 warning.
Hawk! Hawk! Hawk" he shrieked::
That was enough for Danny and
Nanny. Yes, sir, that was enough Tor
them. Quarrel, sunfower seeds, every
thing but safety was forgotten. Iney
didn't wait to find out where that Hawk
was. They didn'tawait a second. They
didn't even run all the way down that
plant. Half way down they jumped,
landing with thump, thump. Danny
ran one way and Nanny another, Tor II

Meadow Mouse q second, one little sec
ond, may mean the difference between
safety and being caught.
Danny darted into some tall grass
and squatted close to the ground, keep
ing perfectly still, his little heart
humping with fright. Nanny darted
into the cornfleld and hid between the
stalks of big plant, her heart also
going pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat with fright.
Now Danny and Nanny had not been
seen by Sharpshin until they started to
run and he was travelling too fast to
check himself In time to swoop at one
of them, so he kept on after Chicoree.
He shot headlong in among the corn
plants, but was just too late. Chicoree
had managed to get out Of sight.
Sharpshin swung up and lowered above
the corn, his sharp eyes searching for
the least movement or a glimpse Of
yellow and black. He saw neither and
in few minutes few away.
So ended foolish quarrel for Chico
rec and Danny and Nanny wisely de-
cided that there were seeds enough for
all and fighting over them didn't pay.

Danny and Nanny are stubborn little

Everyday Psychology
Sanity VS.. Insanity.

During the last 20 years the differ
ence between sanity and insanity has
become a popular query. In a sense
this is the central question OF that
growing science called mental hygiene.
There Is such a thing as knowing
where you are, with whom you are as
ISOLATED and just when you have been
where you are. This is called "orienta-
ton" It's a sort of psychological ge-
ometry comprehending three dimen-
sions-place, time and personal con-
nection.
When one loses a sense of these three
dimensions, one loses a corresponding
ability to sustain ordinary adjustments
to his surroundings. And then one may
be said to be mentally sick.
OF course, there are many other
things in the mind that is going wrong.
But these three easily stand out as the
leading factors in the question OF the
difference between sanity and insanity.
It is also we'll to remember that some
thing like these unholy three occa-
sionally overtakes the SaneSt OF mlndS.
