that tree. She had become uneasy be-
cause Bobby had not returned. She
heard him whine and looked down. She
saw him lying there at the foot of the
tree, but she did not see the trap.
$50 1t is you" she said sharply. at
Is time you came home. What are you
whining about?"
Bobbys answer was only a moan of
pain. Mrs. Coon hastily scrambled out.
She knew that something was wrong
with Bobby, very wrong indeed. Down
the tree she came in hurry. Then
she saw the wicked steel trap biting
into Bobby's poor swollen leg, and the
sharp things she had meant to say
were forgotten. Gently she licked that
swollen leg until she saw how Bobby
WINGED every time she touched it. Then
she licked his face and tried to COM
fort him. Not once did she remind him
of how she had tried to keep him from
going out the night before. She was
very gentle, was Mrs. Coon.
At last Bobby was somewhat rested.
He told Mrs. Coon what had happened.
"Of course" said he, that two-legged
creature who set that dreadful trap
will find the trap gone and will start
looking for 1t. If he finds me it will
be the end of me- If I can get UP in
our snug hollow he won't find me F"
But what about the trap?" asked
Mrs. Coon.
II don't know" confessed Bobby.
Perhaps I will have to gnaw my leg

done" He shuddered at the thought.
But the first thing is for us to get out
of sight,
Painfully he got to his feet and
stood up against the trunk Of the tree.
He couldn't climb. He tried and tried,
but with only one fore paw and with
that heavy trap hanging to the other
he couldn't climb. Sometimes he would
get started only to fall back in a heap,
and each time it hurt that poor swol-
len leg terribly. Here he was after that
long terrible journey at his very door
step, yet unable to go farther.
What to do now? Bobby didn't know
Mrs. Coon didn't know. What could
be done. There was no way for Bobby
to get up to that entrance so far above
their heads.
We'll have to find hiding place on
the ground or in it," said Mrs. Coon.
You know well enough there is
none very near and have travelled as
far as 1 can," replied Bobby, despair
in his voice and eyes.
Perhaps no one will come" said
Mrs. Coon hopefully.
Bobby tried to grin, but instead two
tears dropped from his eyes He just
couldn't help it, for he was suffering
so much and now hope had gons.
What to do? He didn't know.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Eskimos have skins of yellowish
brown color. Their eyes are dark, and
their hair Is commonly black Their
average height is about feet and 3
inches.
There Is good reason to believe that
ESkimoS are related to Indian tribes
found elsewhere in North America, even
though they are not SO tall and diff.
fer in many of their customs.
Eskimos are skillful hunters. Good
crops cannot be raised during the shoI \
Summer season of the Arctic region,
and only by hunting and fishing can
they obtain enough food.
The seal and the walrus are blesSinlk
to the Eskimos. These animals, which
are more common in Arctic waters than
elsewhere, supply flesh for food, hide.
for clothing, and oil for lights. Tht
oil is taken from the blubber, a layer "
fat just under the hide
The blubber keeps the animal wArIN
when 1t swims in cold waters. CX
taken from it helps keep Eskimos war 4
and also gives them fuel for tVt
lamps.
Hunting seals is exciting, but a.
dangerous. The seals rest on bloc
of ice floating in the water Eslxin
hunters venture out on the ice wi.
spears and harpoons. If they slip, I.
may bring them to death by drowning !;
Polar bears, deer, wolves and s.
birds are also hunted by Esstmcs

but 1t must also be admitted that you
are not entitled to wear worried, anx-
ious, careworn expression all the time.
IF you can't wear q smile, the next
best thing Is to keep the face relaxed.
because this will mean relaxation of
the whole body. What tires you more
quickly than anything else is keeping
mind and body tensed, as this means
that all the muscles Of the body and
the nerves that supply these muscles
are all kept at work.
1t is this perfect relaxation that you
get while asleep that gives complete
rest to the body. In fact, one of the
latest and most successful methods of
getting Off to sleep is to lie quietly in

My Dear Mrs. Post: I often take
lunch with three women, one of whom
is young and in whom am very much
interested. AS I am the only man at
the table, whom should I assist first
with her chair?"
Answer: Assist the oldest one first,
the youngest last.
Dear Mrs. Post: 7 am a stenog-
rapher and take my lunch at the only
restaurant in the neighborhood. Quite
often my employer comes in this same
place to eat When he does he sits at
my table and we finish our meal to-
gether. Should I permit him to pay
my check? This happens SO often"
Answer: If he has not invited you
to go with him to lunch, you pay your
own check. OF course, if he makes a
point of paying for your lunch, there is
nothing for you to do but to let him.
If he does this too often, would sug-
gest that you eat occasionally at an
other restaurant"

are removed and arranged in a circle
about the cleared space. The mother
deposits her eggs and the father fer
tilizes them. Together they keep away
the enemies who are especially fond of
fish eggs When the small fishes hatch
they are not more than an inch long,
and feed on the small particles floating
in the air. Later they become inter-
eSted in tiny insects and minnows. They
are expert hunters, and do not hesitate
eating a few of their brothers and
sisters.
In congenial waters bass will weigh
25 pounds, and in less favorable sur
roundingS they average pounds. The
range is from Canada to the Gulf Of
Mexico and from the Atlantic Coast to
the Rocky Mountains. There Is wide
spread effort to establish nursery ponds.
An acre of water will bring a far greater
profit to the owner than the same area
of ground. The bass are easily cared
for, are very prolific, and can be moved
with safety to large bodies of water in
which to sport and tease the fisher
man. Bass are the gamiest fish for
their size we have and one Of our most
sought after fish foods.
This fish is strictly an American, and
is fast replacing the trout In the affec-
ton of devoted anglers Englishmen
having once had the pleasure of CATCH
ing willy bass, are not satisfied until
they have them in their own streams.
In view of this fact, there being such a
growing demand for nursery ponds, it
would seem that here is chance to
supply Europe, fill our own waters, and
make use of valueless bodies of water.
A black bass mother will lay $500
eggs each season If the nursery pond is
free from turtles and snakes. You must
discourage the kingfsher, heron ducks
and mudhens. Ffshhawks are the most
clever and persistent poachers, and they
consume thousands of fingerlings 1t
has been proven that two-acre pond,
with good food provided for its boarders,
will take care of 10000 1-year-old bass,
which at this age are inches long.

part of presidential retinues. The pres
ent one, Comdr. Joel T. Boone, Navy
medico, has been one of the most
prominent members of Mr.. Hoover's
personal staff.
During the campaign, on all official
visits away from the Capital, on the
few of his pleasure trips and on week
end excursions to the Rapidan, DR..
Boone has been along always.
President wilson's personal physician,
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, not only
looked after his health, but became his
close personal friend as well. And 1t
was a friendship that the admiral to
this day cherishes.
Locked in his mind are many Incl

Faces.

Faces.
Time and time again it has been said
that your face is dead give-away";;
that your face speaks the language OF
your personality as well as your men
tai powers.
The truth about all this from an ex-
perimental point of view it not very
conclusive. There is, however, some
evidence pointing to the possibility that
the mobility of your facial muscles re-
veals your intelligence. The more mo-
bile these muscles, the more intelligent
you are.
Then there is little more evidence
in support Of the theory that an at
tractive face denotes a special ability
to get along with others. They call
this social intelligence.
furthermore, 1t Is claimed by some
that those with attractive faces and
therefore with an abundance Of social
intelligence tend to become intellectual
ly lazy. The theory is that they seem
to let their social intelligence do the
work of general intelligence. Sc 'on
the face of things" it would appear
that there is something to the old adage
that brains and beauty don't go to-
gether.
