This is usually the case. We think
of our own troubles and envy our
neighbors when all the time they may
be having greater troubles than our
own. Reddy Fox had always thought
that Lightfoot the Deer and Mrs. Light
foot, because they lived on twigs, the
leaves Of evergreen trees and MOSES, Of
which there is always q plentiful sup
ply had an easy time Of 1t in Winter
and couldn't really know the meaning
of hard times. He said as much to
Lightfoot.

have to catch all my food, or most of
it, First, have got to find it and
then catch it. I have got to depend
on wits and skill or starve. If I am
lucky enough to catch a Mouse or
Rabbit or a bird I haven't the least
idea where I will be able to get an
other. I have got to hunt and hunt
and hunt. All you have to do is to
reach up and bite off q mouthful and
when that Is gone reach for another.
You need to hunt for your food to
know the meaning Of hard times"
IT wish 1t was as easy as all that"
sighed Lightfoot. Tell me- Reddy Fox,
of what use is plenty of food when
you cannot get it? Just tell me that.
Here we are prisoners in our own yard.
(He meant the series of criSscrossing
paths trampled in the SNOWY All the
food we have Is what we can get right
here. There may be plenty of it out
side our yard, but the snow Is so deep
that we cannot get to it, so what good
does it do US? We may not have to
hunt for it as you do for yours, but we
have to work for it, and work hard"
What do you mean by work." de-
manded Reddy.
ITO begin with, we have to keep these
paths open, and when 1t SHOWS as often
and as hard as it has this Winter that
is no small job" replied Lightfoot ITO
get at MOSES and other plants on the
ground we have to paw away the snow,
and If you think that Is. easy just try
it. When we have eaten all the tender
twigs we can reach from path we
know there will be no more there and
we have to take another path. This is
all right early in the Winter, but If the
snow lasts too long so that We cannot
get out of our yard we are likely to
starve Then. too, when ice covers the
twigs we have a cold meal to put in
our StOmachs. You don't know what a
cold meal like that is"
Reddy nodded. That is true" said he.
Have you ever known what it Is to
be cornered by enemies and helpless?"
demanded Lightfoot.
Indeed have!" exclaimed Reddy,
thinking Of his recent experience when
he had been driven into Farmer Browns
barn by hunters and could not have
escaped had it not been for Farmer

Evening Dress of Satin Crepe
BY MARY MARSHALL.

other thing that makes evening dresses
so easy to wear II the evening is quite
cool and you like to keep warm, you can
wear an evening dress with little
Jacket, and keep the jacket on all eve
ming, and still feel that you have con-
formed to the conventions. AND now
there are shoulder capes that have ap-
peared as strong rivals to the little eve
ming Jacket. Some of the new dresses
are made with capes of this sort that
may be detached If you like.
The sketch shows one of the newest.
1t is made of satin crepe and Is finished
with silk fringe about five inches deep.
II you want to make a cape of this sort
you may buy the fringe ready made or
make it yourself from twisted embroid-
cry silk. Cut the silk in 10-inch lengths.
Divide the pieces in groups of three or
four. Fold them over and draw the
loop end through small perforation
in the edge of the cape. Bring the
ends through the loop and draw up In
a moose. And so on until you have a
neat row of fringe all around the cape.

Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.
BY MILDRED MOCKABEE.
aRa21 -A 14e.


THIS Is very simple, clearcut
writing, suggesting nature
that Is very direct and sincere.
i The writer is probably the kind
of person who is very straight
forward in her dealings with people, al
ways giving of her very best and ex-
pecting the same in return.
She perhaps would be most content
in her own home. Though she may be
a success in the business world, her
interests would seem to be conferred In
her close personal life. Most of all
possibly. she would delight in caring
and planning for her home. She would
find happiness in its domain, never feel
ing that l. might mean a narrow hor1-
Zon.
She would be wise enough in all
probability to realize that she must
have outside interests, but they might
easily be closely connected with home
life and its problems. In addition she
might have the desire to aid other
women who are not so fortunate as
she. 1t might be possible for her to do
much constructive work in finding en-
ployment for women who are forced to
work while caring for their homes and
families
II she does work away from home she
might find nursing a particularly fitting
vocation. Her inherent practically
would be valuable, as would her appar-
ent ability to think quickly in emer-
gencies. Unless she is very robust, how
ever, she should not consider such an
exacting occupation.
Though she may have many, many
friends, none might mean so much to
her as those she knew as a child. She
does not seem to be the type to grow
away from cid friends, but instead
would value them more with the years.
When with these old friends, discussing
the happy incidents of childhood. she
Is probably less restrained than at any
other time.

Mental Health.

Almost every one these days is begin
ing to discover that mental health is at
least as important as physical health.
The fact is that the lack of mental
health is even more prevalent than
physical disease. There are as many
people in mental hospitals today as
there are in hospitals for all other rea-
sons combined. And these figures take
no account of the dozens of minor men
tai ailments which we all contract from
time to time and from which we all re-
cover without recourse to science.
We don't go to physician every time
We get blister on the heel. Neither do
we go to an asylum every time we get
moody. Minor ailments don't count.
They are soon forgotten, and prop
. erly so.
Mental hygiene differs in some re-
spects from physical hygiene. In case
of physical illness we take the doctors
word. We generally get better, just as
he says we will. The doctor and Nature
work together on the case.
In the case Of mental illness, we stay
away from the doctor as long as pos
sible. Ones mental troubles are all too

Breathing and Circulation.

An adult at rest breatheS about five
quarts of air a minute. In the same
time about five quarts of blood will be
pumped through the lungs.
During physical activity the volume
Of air breathed increases much more
than does the volume Of blood pumped
through the lungs. With great exer-
ton an adult may breathe as much as
so quarts Of air minute, but, In
the same time only 20 or rs quarts
OF blood will pass through the lungs.
1t Is now known that as a rule
given blood corpusele makes the COM
plete circuit of the circulation in a
minute, in man. In small animals
the speed of the circulation is greater,
say half minute. in large animals
it is slower, in the horse two or three
minutes.
In man the factor of dominant i'm
portance, according to Prof. Yandell
Henderson authority ON artificial res
piration, is the amount of oxygen con-
sumed by the body. This determines
the volume of the circulation. In the

LIQUOR FORBIDDEN
In RURAL AREAS

! LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9.-(UP)--
Despite repeal of the Wright pro-
hibition enforcement act, unincor-
porated territory and many cities
in Los Angeles county will still have
rigorous anti-liquor law, 1t was
learned today.
Deputy County Counsel Claude
McFadden revealed that the coun-
ty board of supervisors in 1921
adopted what was known as the
"little Volstead ordnance" contain
ing even more rigorous provisions
than carried either in the state or
ns.Acnal legislation. The law is UNI
touched by the voters action in re-
pealing the Wright act, McFadden
said. 1t could be repealed only by
act of the supervisors or by popu-
lar referendum, it was said.
The Little Volstead" act, it was
explained, prohibits not only liquor
traffic but also purchase or ex-
change of liquor as, a gift. The
measure restricts prescription sales
to eight ounces.
The generally forgotten law APP
parently had never been enforced,
McFadden said.

that the fugitive had taken refuge

COUNTY VOTE
RUNS IN FORM

Despite a heavy vote and slow
ness in returns due to the large
number of amendments to be COM
piled, the trend of totals shows
that Imperial county followed the
example of the rest of the country
yesterday and went Democratic so
far as major offices are concerned.
A recapitulation of precincts
printed on this page gives an ap-
proximately accurate summary Of
how the valley voted. Missing
precincts are not expected to make
any change in the material results,
as none of the contests for office
were close.
Imperial Valley gave Roosevelt
and McAdoo substantial totals over
President Hoover and Tallant
Tubbs.
The twentieth congressional dis
trict race is much closer than was
expected in view of the heavy Re-
publican registration in San Diego
county. George Burnham, Repub-
lican candidate, seemed to have
a substantial lead over Claude
Chandler in a noon-time recapitu-
lation by Burnham San Diego
headquarters though the Chandler
forces were not yet ready to con-
cede defeat for their candidate.
Ben HulSe is the first state SEN
ator from Imperial county, his OPP
ponent, F. w. Greer, having con-
coded his defeat late last night
HulSe polled handsome vote
among Democrats although he was
the Republican candidate and
needed their support to win, in
view of the Democratic lead in
county registration.
Sam Robinson, the only candi-
date who didn't have to worry
about the election, having won
both Republican and Democratic
nominations at the primary, re-
ceived a handsome complimentary
vote in all precincts in the county
Judge A. c. Finney lost out for
reelection, being defeated by At
torney R. D. McPherrin of this
city, who ran up substantial lead.
In the second supervisorial dis
trict Hugh T. Osborne defeated
Romeo G. Smith, incumbent for
the last two terms.
Results on the 20 propositions
were particularly slow in being
compiled and a recapitulation APP
preaching anything like accuracy
was impossible today.
In general the valley attitude
on propositions seemed to follow
those throughout the state, in
GLIDING repeal of the Wright act;
against No. 3, substituting mort
cages for trust deeds; in favor of
No. 5 on racing; against No. g.,
the school tax proposition and
practically even up on No. II,
leasing of Huntington Beach tide
lands.
At Brawley B. M. Graham was
elected supervisor over w. E. Wal
tiers, 1880 to 1876.
