UNCLE WIGGILY'S FLYING
RINGS

What in the world are you do
ing, Wiggy?" grunted Mr.. Twisty-
tail, the jolly, fat pig gentleman as
he saw the bunny in the woods one
day making something out of a
number of large, wooden rings,
about as big around as a cherry pie.
Uncle Wiggily also had a number
of pieces of the vine of the wild
grape-vines that were like ropes.
I'm putting up set of flying
rings" answered Uncle Wiggily.'
Don't tell me you are going to
fly, Wiggy!" exclaimed the pig gen.
tleman, and he became so excited
the quirk came out of his tail. The
quirk in a pig gentlemans tail is
the same as the curl in the hair OF
a little girl, only different.

FREE WHEELING
IN GEAR IS NOT
LAW VIOLATION

In order to differentiate clearly
between the safety of Free Wheel
ing with positive gear control and
the danger of "coasting," the Cali
fornia legislature has just amend
ed the wording of the law prohibit
ing the latter.
According to Rogers and Tison,
Studebaker dealers here, the Law
formerly stated that 1.-The driver OF
a motor vehicle traversing defiles,
canyons or mountain highways
shall not permit such vehicle to
coast" 1t now reads 1.-The driver OF
a motor vehicle when travelling upon
down grade upon any highway
shall not coast with the gears OF
such vehicle in neutral.
by its action, the California leg
istlature has definitely stressed the
safety of free wheeling with posi-
tive gear control In spite OF its
similar thrill, free wheeling is never
coasting in the true sense Of the
word.
I'm the conventional transmits
sion. coasting involves temporary
REIMBURSEMENT by the driver of con-
troll over his vehicle save through
his brakes. In contrast, Stude-
bakers free wheeling, while provid-
ing the same delightful sensation
of coasting, always leaves the driver
complete master Of his car.
Throughout the free wheeling func-
ton, which operates automatically
the instant the foot is lifted OFF the
accelerator, che gears remain IN
mesh and the clutch engaged. Fur
thermore, positive control in all
gears makes the full braking effect
of the engine instantly available at
a mere flick of the shift lever"

You can help your legs to beauty via the makeup route. 1T you are earnest about wanting them to be attractive.
 Many a youngstcr ln her late teens or early twenties has learned inc effect of a little rouge on knees. Others who have fat knees have learned il at if n it of rouge cleverly rubbed in vertically on each side of knee caps tends to make knees look slendercr.
 You can do wonder to your legs for everyday purposes when you wear sheer chiffon stockings ana every blemish shows up
 Rouge is the biggest help to slenderizing legs under chiffon ho- siery, A couple of vertical lines or rouge, softly blended into the leg on each side of the shin bone from the ankle to the top of the ca.f makes the leg look much slenderer
 Applies to Ankles. Too
 Thick ankles can be slenderiHed by this line of rouge extended down the foot short distance. The rouge itself does not show under chiffon, but the effect does, in d satisfactory way.
 Older women who have promin- ent veins in the foot. especially In the ankle and on the instep. should skillfully apply powder base or liquid powder to them.
 This is a marvellous cover-up. DO 1t just before you don your hose. Use the cream powder base with your fingers. applying 1t the length and breadth of your veins. Then either use liquid powder, which sticks much better than dry pow der, or dust your legs over with complexion powder, not ordinary bath powder.
 Blemishes on the legs. such as scars, moles, or blrthmarks, often can be covered up in the same manner so that they do not show in the least under chiffon hose.

If you like to be prepared To serve unexpected guests you will find that sponge cake answers the purpose, especially with iced tea or a fruit punch.
 And If you bake your sponge cake batter in mullins, or better still in paraiiin cake-cups, because then you will have less dish wash ing. you will have delicate little cakes that are sure to please.
 Small cakes are especially ap- pealing during the summer months For the picnic. porch, garden or beach party, little cakes are ap- prOpriate. I hey are so much easier to serve and eat than a large cake cut in pieces that they are ideal for informal meals Little cakes if carefully packed will arrive at their destination in the pink of condi- tion.

YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton

Why do people have better teeth than they used to? Because we have become, as a people, tooth conscious and use intelli- gent means to keep our molars and incisors in good condition.
 Parents should become tooth minded about their children as soon as the first baby teeth come through. Indeed, the mother should keep the idea of her baby's $ teeth ahead of her even before his birth, for the strength of the en- amcl on these tiny affairs de- ponds largely upon the food she herself eats before he comes into the world.
 Calcium is the mineral ncccs- Sary to produce lime in the teeth. It is contained largely in milk, green vegetables. oranges and whole grain cereals.
 To Insure Firm Teeth
 The mother should eat enough of these foods to insure her baby against soft teeth. Then after he Is born he should have diet that will keep up the good work, be- cause. though his teeth are not showing. they are there. perfectl, formed in his small jaws, all 20 of them, ready to come through, which they do in twos and fours until he is master of complete set of first teeth.
 Mothers milk Is the most per tAlI n young baby. It contains most of the bone-forming and tissue-fo ing substances. Orange juice and, later vegetable juices are added to his diet. chiefly for the extra calcium needed Still Il little further along he will be getting well-cookcd juices and, of course, always the necessary milk.
 Diet does more to make fine teeth than anything else. Cleanli- ness does most to keep them fine, Dental care to-day includes pre- vention as well as treatment, Visits to the dentist B office twice a year are essential to keeping the teeth in order. whether the child needs to have repair work done or not. The reason Is easy to understand. As the jaw develops, and the teeth come in. sometimes they are out of alignment and do not "ht". This puts wear and tear unevenly on certain surfaces. The dentist can tell when the teeth are right or wrong, whether second teeth are having the proper space to come in so they will not be crowded or crooked
 Shaping Teeth Not Difficult
 It Is remarkable how easily a child's mouth and teeth can be shaped and spaced If attended from time to time by dentist. "Orthodontia" is doing wonders to make our race easy to look at. To shape up n little child's teeth early Is d simple matter. Later 1t becomes more involved. is q slower process, and naturally more expensive.
 When the first teeth come In they should be washed each day. gently, with soft cloth. A little later when there are more teeth q soft baby toothbrush may D. used dipped in salt water.
 Quite early child can be taught to brush his own teeth. Watch the cleanser" you give hii'. No gritty or str'tg cleansing paste or powder should be used on young teeth. The second set begins to come In at six. Watch them care fully also.

She could hold her tongue when she saw the work was getting out of bounds and Arthur was losing his temper. And she could measure and figure and compute. So. all in all the two made a pretty good working pair. She reported to Arthur tha. the conventional height for a table was 30 inches and that of n bench or seat was from 14 to IS inches. depending upon the height of those who would use 1t and the supply of available pillows.
