Hindus Eager to Draw
Chariot of Jupgernaut

The carriage of the great god Jug
gernaut now rumbles through the
streets of Puri, India, a trifle faster
than usual. This is due to the large
number of policemen on hand, who
hurry up the festival as one of the
many precautions taken to prevent
suicides. Juggernaut's chariot has
thirty-twO wheels, wide of rim, seven
feet in diameter and it is under these
that impulsive devOtees as part of the
centuries-old ceremony have cast
themselves. The Puri festival is one
of the most celebrated in the Hindu
calendar and annually attracts thou
sands of pilgrims. Great ceremony
attends preparations for the journey
of Juggernaut, lord of the universe,
and his brother and sister, to the
Garden temple, where the three gods
pass a week. Hindus believe that
when God comes to the earth he in
carnates himself in one of the ten
forms and that on the day of the
festival God incarnates himself as q
"Vaman" or dwarf and appears in
Juggernaut's car. Those who are
fortunate enough to see him, they
contend, attain salvation. The ortho-
dox Hindus believe, too, there is much
virtue in aiding to drag the car
about a mile, from one end of the
town to the other, which accounts
largely for the eager rush to Puri
each year.

1t was we'll for Whitefoot the

Peter Rabbits tracks after they
left WhitefoOt's hiding place, in
stead of before. He is such a slim
fellow that he could have and would
have slipped in at the little door
way and made an end Of WhitefoOt.
Presently Shadow came to the place
where Peter had followed the tracks
of Happy Jack Squirrel. Hello Y'
exclaimed Shadow. HAS that fell

I'll just keep an eye open for him
hereafter"
Then he paid no more attention
to Happy Jacks tracks, but kept
right on after Peter. Presently
he came to the tracks of Jimmy
Skunk. He knew right away whose

tracks they were. You know Jimmy is
a cousin TO Shadow. When he saw
those tracks he scowled. He and
Jimmy are not on the best of terms.
Besides, at first he thought Jimmy
was following Peter, and that would
upset his plans. But in few min
utes he saw that Peter had been
following Jimmy and that made him
easier in mind. He felt still bet
ter when Jimmy's tracks ended at
the hole under the old stump where
Jimmy had made his home for the
winter. Shadow shifted at the door
way and then showed all his sharp
teeth in an ugly snarl. He's down
in there and I'm glad of that" he
muttered, and then with longer
bounds than ever he kept on after
Peter.

THE WHITE HUNTER

a slim, trim little fellow yawned,
rubbed his eyes, yawned again,
stretched, and then abruptly made
up his mind that he was hungry,
and that ii was time to do some
hunting. He scrambled up to the
doorway Of his home, which was
in a snug hollow under the roots of
an old tree in the Green Forest. and
thrust his head out. The ground
was white: the trees were white;
everything was white. He smiled
as he sat there looking out at the
white world, and his smile was a
crafty. cruel, hungry smile. That
white world just suited him. II
couldn't have suited him better. If you
had been there when he made his first
leap out into the snow you would
have understood right away why he
was so well pleased. His coat was
as white as the snowl He was all
white except the tip of his tail, and
that was black. 1t was Shadow the
Weasel.
Now Of all the hunters of the
Green Forest there is none smarter,
none more eager, none more tireless
than Shadow the Weasel. Reddy
Fox and Old Man Coyote and Hooty
the Owl hunt to fill their stOmachs,
and Hhen they have their stOmachs
full they stop hunting. But Shadow
hunts for the pure JOY of hunting.
When he has killed as much as he
can eat he does not stop. Oh, my,
mol He keeps right on hunting.
He is like a great many two-legged
hunters. 1t is for this that he is
so feared and hated by the little
people of the Green Forest.
Now as he bounded along in long
leaps there was a fierce joy In his
heart. With everything white he
could be even holder than usual, for
in his pure white coat not even

the one enemy he really feared,
would be likely to see him. 1t was
very convenient, that white coat.
He ran swiftly with long bounds,
stopping only to investigate the old
logs and stumps and brush piles
that he came to. Each of these
he examined very carefully. There
might be a Woodmouse hiding
there, and Shadow is too good
hunter to be careless.
SO presently he came to the
tracks of Peter Rabbit. For just a
second Shadow smelled of the
tracks with his keen little nose, than
which there is none keener. His
eyes frightened with eagerness.
"Har' said Shadow. "He passed
here not very long ago. Nothing
would or could suit me better for
dinner than Peter Rabbit. This cold
air makes me hungry. He doesn't

Known as Sea Unicorn

The narwhal, an Arctic whale, IS
known also as the "sea unicorn"
Like the dolphin, it travels in schools,
but it is seldom seen south of the
polar seas. Little is known of it,
but in the logs of old-time mariners,
there was frequent report Of the
piercing of a vessels hull by mar
whals ivory tusks. Because the GEN.

MEAL TIME TALK

WE THINK a great deal about

OratiOns of our dining rooms now
adays and even women with very
little to spend manage to achieve an
attractive effect through judicious
buying of china, table linen, furni-
ture and curtains. We should say
that American women as a whole
had become dining-room conscious.
This room is no longer merely con-

in which the housewife-pOssibly

displays her taste and talents as
an interior decorator.
In that way we think a good deal
about tone of our surroundings dur
ing meal hours. But there is an
other sort of meal time tone" to
which we pay little heed. a cheer
full color scheme can do little to
raise our spirits when the tone of
the conversation is depressing or ir-
ritating.
One reason why meal time con-
conversation so often takes on jar
ring tone is because in many fam

when the entire family meets. 1t

LOW ROOFS
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

IN CHILDHOOD to a little church
My footsteps found their way.
Life was not then the weary search
For JOY it is today.
A simple .sermOn, simple song,
An understanding creed,
l found, when life was right or
wrong,
Sufficient for my need.
Today before a greater shrine
Within a larger place
seek again for words divine
TO give me peace and grace.
But there is something missing now,
The fault the church or me.
| cannot tell-it seems, somehow,
That God is hard to see.
| think some day I'll search it out
(It's fifty years or more),
The church with lilacs all about,
An oak tree at the door.
For men and churches both may
grow
Too great, too rich. too wise.
Perhaps when roofs and men are
low
They're nearer to the skies.
