WHAT CAN 1T BE?" THOUGHT
PETER,

was. But Chatterer wasn't there and
so Peter could do nothing but wonder
as he followed Farmer Browns Boy
without letting him know 1t. When
Farmer Browns Boy moved on Peter
would do the same thing, scampering
from cover to cover so as not to be seen.
Now Peter isn't as observing as lie might
be. particularly in regard to matters
which do not Immediately concern him.
So it was some time before he even no.
ticed that Farmer Browns Boy was
stopping only at certain trees. He would
pass tree after tree without so much as
a glance at 1t.
Finally Peter noticed this and began
to wonder some more. Why doesn't he
look at all the tress?" asked Peter of
himself. Being unable to answer this
he gave it up and watched Farmer
Browns Boy more closely than before.
Gradually it came to him that the only
trees in which Farmer Browns Boy
seemed interested were trees that were
still awake though resting. That Is,
they were trees that still carried their
green leaves, although it was Midwinter.
The sleeping trees, the ones that were
leafless, he didn't even glance at.
And then Peter made another dis
covery. The trees Farmer Browns Boy
visited were different from the hemlock
and the FIR balsam that he had recently
become acquainted with. The little
leaves or needles OF. these trees were
growing out from all sides of each twig
and pointing toward the twig tip The
branches of the hemlock and balsam
were lacy in appearance, while the
branches Of these trees looked almost
bristly because the little leaves grew
thickly.
These were spruce trees of the kind
known as the Red Spruce and the queer
fruit Farmer Browns Boy was gathering
wasn't fruit at all but little humps of
gum which had formed around small
cuts made in the bark in the Spring for
this purpose by Farmer Browns Boy
Spruce gum is Old Mother Natures
chewing gum.

Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruf

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by
all means get rid of dandruff, for it
will starve your hair and ruin it if
you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
comb or wash it out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is
to dissolve it; then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most, Il not all, of
your dandruf will be gone, and two
or three more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it.

tiny lines around the eyes and pre-

Those who need touch of rouge
should choose a cream rouge, as both
the compact and powder kinds are too
drying for this particular type of skin.
Apply the merest trace Of rouge before
the face powder is busted on, smooth

Beaucracy Gone Mad

A most striking example of a government body gone mad through lust for power is seen in the Federal Trade Commits sion.
 The idea which inspired the Commissions creation by Con- gress in 1914 was probably sound. That idea was to pre- vent unfair methods of con- petition in commerce" Some of the earlier activities of the Commission in pursuance of that idea may have been of benefit to the public, but in recent years the power confer red has been grossly abused.
 Of late the Commission has interested itself in a censorship of advertising, and has thereby placed an undue burden upon publishers. It seems that ac- cording to the Commissions view, a publisher is under the necessity of establishing that each and every advertisement published by him is absolutely true in every respect. The most trivial discrepancies in this re- spect have been seized upon by the Commission as pretext to harass newspapers and their advertisers.
 Some of the complaints and orders of the Commission have been based upon such flimsy grounds that the courts have rejected them as entirely un- warranted. An action brought against advertising agencies. for example, was abandoned by the Commission itself after five years of futile proceed ings which cost the taxpayers and the advertising agencies very large sums.
 In the light of it's activities in this and other respects, il appears that the Federal Trade Commission has so far departed from the idea which inspired its creation as to be- come a rather expensive pub lie nuisance.

Death of Thomas A. Edison

With the death this week of Thomas A. Edison, there pass ed from human view one who was unquestionably entitled to be considered one of the great est figures in all human his- tory, as we'll as one of the worlds greatest benefactors.
 Of all his numerous invent ions, every one of which were of distinct benefit and advan- tage to mankind, the electric light stands as the greatest monument to his inventive ge- nius. By that one invention alone, he won not only a pre- eminent place among human immortals, but also gave to humanity one of the great est benefactions it has ever re- ceived.
 Only those whose memories can turn back to the days of candles and coil-oil lamps can really appreciate what influ- ence the incandescent lamp has played in the advancement of human progress, enlighten- ment and culture. We can think of no single invention which has been of such dis tinct benefit to the human race.
 In developing the phono- graph he also gave to the world an invention which has been a most potent factor in human affairs as we'll as one that has probably given to  humankind more pleasure than anything produced since the invention of printing.
 Likewise his third great achievement, the motion pie ture, is entitled to be classed as one of the greatest invent ions of all time. With the pos sible exception of the printing press, there has been no in- vention which has contribut- ed as much to human educat- ion, as we'll as to its pleasure.
 In addition to these great benefactions, Edison also gave to the world numerous other
