At nesting time the pewees go deeper
into the woods They are among the
few shade-loving birds. Often they are
mistaken for the olive-sided fycatcher,
because they have wings longer than
their tails. Their heads are dark with
pale coloring of brown on their throats
and yellish -duskX gray on their under

wings are tipped with drab white.

KING OF THE PLANETS.

~ INWARD through space aboard
our good ship Rocket!
Our next pause is above the
" king of the planets-Jupiter
This planet was named after
Jupiter, king of the Roman gods. 1t
is the largest of all planets which circle
the sun.
The diameter of Jupiter is s6,5Oo
miles. Place a cherry beside large
grapefruit and you will have an idea
of the size of the earth as compared
with this giant planet.
BY gathering facts about its size,
distance and gravity pull" scientists
have found reason to state that Jupiter
weighs BIT times as much as the earth.
The weight of Jupiter is more than
twice as great as the weight of all
other planets in our solar system.
Jupiter twists around at a great
speed. Sunrise follows sunrise with
only hours SIS minutes between.
AS we hover over Jupiter We glance
toward the sun-looking through the
remarkable windows We have in our

sun looks larger than when we saw 1t
from Pluto, but not nearly so large as

Attitudes Toward Furnishings
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

by one member of a household, may
not be thought much Of by another
member Such differences Of opinion
frequently are causes Of contention.
Unless a certain amount of reciprocal
tolerance is felt and some respect paid
to one another's judgments, the sit
uation becomes difficult. Each one
feels the other looks slightingly upon
what are his or her treasures and
criminate. So, for whatever reason
one person cherishes an article, it is
wise to pay respect to it. Perhaps the
person may be right. Who is the
true Judge of such valuations?
This brings us to a consideration
of intrinsic worth. There are GER
tain things which by right of excel
lence of craftsr i.nship, of rare quail
ity, of artistic serit and beauty, and
even Of antiquity, deserve to be valued.
Old furniture. for instance, was hand
made, and this puts a value on it.
If it couples grace Of line with this
workmanship it scores two points in
its favor. Modern furniture is prac-
tically all machine made-not always,
for the expensive may or may not have
the distinction of being handmade, but
the accepted method of making by
machinery. 1t is valued because it is
the latest word in fashion, because it
is an excellent reproduction of beau
tiful old furniture and by the good
buyer, it is picked out because it is
well made. In home where the latest
designs and fashions in furnishing are
followed closely, antiques are passed
lightly by.
A davenport would be priced above
a swan sofa, although collector and
dali nh Il, "a r
ter. In such a home the heirloom
would be relegated to an obscure posi-
ton and the other piece would be fea-
tured in the living room. Grandma's
despair at such valuations would be
considered but part of her old-fash-
ioned ideas. The judgments OF the
younger generation would be thought
poor by the older person. There might
be difference in the worth of the two
pieces. In any event each Is measuring
her Judgment by a different standard.
Persons, who like peasant pottery
for tableware, delighting in its bright
ness and beauty of color decorations.
are seldom apt to appreciate the deli,
cacv and charm of porcelains and
china, which may be entirely devoid
of color. Yet there are white and
cream-colored porcelains and china
which are priced and these wares,
decorated or not, are finer in quality
than pottery. AS they came later than
pottery, pieces OF this latter ware,
when actually antique, may be higher
priced than porcelains. In such cases
various considerations which are known
to experts come into the judging.
It will be seen that unless persons
know subjects they cannot be judges
| of values So it scarcely becomes any
member of a family to belittle the
opinions of others. Let each person
study and try to learn about the
articles, for by SO doing she appre..
ciates whether values are real or II
memories lend glamor Kindness should
temper criticism of the views OF others,
however much they may be at variance
with their own. 1t is only In these
ways that heated discussions and dis
turbing contentious can be avoided.
