AS children reach the age OF
II eight or nine they sometimes
develop troublesome likes and dis
likes for food. There are several
reasons for this and one in partic-
ular can be laid to their elders
door. Discussions about food by
older persons may do much TO in
fuence young tastes Consequent
IN opinions of grown-ups regard
ing the palatability OF various
foods should be carefully guard
ed" in the presence OF Juniors.
AT this age, too, mothers often
relax the constant supervision OF
their children's diet, and the chill
dren are allowed to eat about
what they please with the result
OF a poorly balanced dietary.
Don't Allow picking
One of the best food habits TO
establish early, il the meals are
we'll balanced and well cooked, is
that of eating some OF every FOOD
served. Even IL the amount Is
very small, the rule should be
firmly enforced. because this hap-
II makes for a balanced diet ano
develops broader taste in later
years.
The rule of a quart OF milk a
day continues 10 hold, but some
OF IL may be used in cream soups,
creamed vegetables. desserts and
beverages. Tea and coffee should
not be permitted until the years
of discretion" Meat, fish, eggs,
raw and cooked vegetables, raw
and cooked fruits. cereals and
simple desserts can be served In
great abundance and variety

~ darky ferryman greeted
T Vernon again as If he were

sonality. IT you-all will
JUS step toward Use gwine to come
alongside"
vern understood that maneuver clear
ly enough. Krebs had been instructed
to take on his passenger from the fore
chains so that considerable distance
would intervene between the place
where the boat touched the side Of the
yacht and the after companionway,
from which would have to emerge any
party bent upon seizing the emissary
from shore. Before any one could
cross the deck space from the cam
panionway to the bow the marksman
on the beach would have about three
chances to stop him with rife bullet.
Vern smiled. The precauton was use
less. He knew that none Of the old
men below decks was apt to start any
thing. But. doubtless. the strategy
had not been designed for the old men,
but for himself.
Krebs came closer in the old boat
and Vern, standing near the bow. low
cred himself over the side into it.
While he was settling himself in the
stern seat the old darky made frantic
but soundless movements with his lips.
which Vern finally translated into a
message that he should not ask any
questions, as the man on shore could
hear.
Therefore, the return to the beach
was accomplished in silence. It was
q strange, Styxlike crossing from the
apparently deserted yacht to the lonely
beach, with no one to welcome him
but ferocious dumb man with rifle
in the crook Of his arm.
Vern felt that it was a drama for
unseen eyes. On the yacht he knew
that the three old men were watching
his shoreward progress with avid in

terest and probably. too. in the UNDER
brush there were other eyes, perhaps
guns trained on the boat as it slowly
crept toward the shore impelled once
more by the stiff, jerky strokes OF the
aged Negro.
At last the keel grated on the beach.
Krebs stepped out and with shaking
hands pulled the prov little higher.
so that his distinguished passenger
could disembark without getting his
feet wet. Vern got up and, assuming
an unsteadiness which was not quite
natural to him in a boat. stepped gin
gerly over the seats and into the sand.
There, awaiting him. was Dummy"
Squales. Vern knew that it was he
without inquiry. There was a sort of
uncouth monstrosity about the creature
who confronted him that Tailed with
the impression of him which Irene had
been able to convey, not SO much with
words as by her terror of him.
This man was obviously of q very
low order of intelligence. He had been
very poorly equipped by nature in the
first place-his stature, long arms, the
shape of his face and head all proved
that.
Back of all other emotions which this
man aroused in him Vern felt an in
ucAcc pAty. WudI SOIt VI CIid1lCc u1Q
creature like that have In the world?
Every mans hand had to be against
him. Civilization could not allow his
wishes to prevail.
Vern had been prepared for the fact
that he could not speak, but the silent
scrutiny of this scarcely human creature
was rather terrifying none the less.
Perhaps anywhere else or under any
other circumstances Vern would have
been less inpressionable, but with that
island background which some way gave
one the impression of a steamy jungle
inhabited by unclassified, prehistoric
beasts the figure of this man stood out
like that Of a materialized genius Of
the place. Heavy and clumsy, be
nevertheless moved as silently and with
. certain celerity.
Vern felt that he was being severely
questioned by the sharp small eyes Of
the, master of the island.
Apparently Verne's impersonation
stood up under the momentary test for.
at last, the burly, stopped giant mo-
toned that Vern should precede him
up from the beach. He pointed first
to Krehs, meaning that he should lead
the way and lastly to himself, laughing
silently as he did so and patting the
rifle. The meaning was perfectly clear.
Vern was to follow where Krehs led
and If he attempted any movement OF
his own initiative Dummy" would cor
rect him and point out his error with q
bullet.
The path up from the beach had
apparently once been a roadway which
from disuse and the luxuriant nature
Of vegetation on the island had gradu-
ally dwindled to a mere trail. Seed
Iipcs had pIanted themselves anywhere
and, since there had apparently been
no vehicular trafiic and pedestrians
had followed the course Of least resist
ance. the track zig-zagged lazily through
the tangle.
A hundred yards from the beach was
the house. There for a short distance
around the dwelling. the encroaching
vegetation had been crowded back.
Here, as everywhere else on the island,
one got the impression that Just be-
yond the shield of thick underbrush

VETS INSURANCE
SET-UP CHARGED
Much of Work to Be Cen.
traIized Here With Savinu
of $780, 900 Yearly.

The Veterans Administration, as part
of its economy program, is centralizing
in Washington certain Of the insurance
functions of the 54 regional ofices scat
tered throughout the United States.
The plan is designed to prevent dupli-
cation of work. and at the same time
save the Government about $500, 900 q
year.
All premium records of the policy
holders now in the regional Offices will
be transferred to the Veterans Admin
lstration In Washington. thus relieving
the regional Offices Of the work Of coll
lecting premiums and other duties in
| connection with the policies.
The field offices will continue to be
maintained, however, primarily for the
purpose OF advising and assisting the
policyholders. The personnel in these
omces probably will be reduced, but
| omcials at the Veterans Administration
said there would be no increase in the
in Washington.
Work Not to Be Increased.
Officials explained the change would
| involve little additional work at the
| central office because Government in
surance. in its major aspects, always
has been administered largely from
Washington. The Veterans Admins
tration, however, for number Of years
has followed the plan of big life insur-
| ance companies by maintaining re-
gional offices in each State to keep the
premium records Of policyholders liv-
ing IN that State and collecting the
premiums. All other work in connec-
tion with the policies has been per-
formed at the central Office in Wash
| ington.
Under that plan, officials said. it was
necessary to maintain in Washington
the master premiums and loan accounts
and send a set of duplicate accounts to
the regional Offices. This arrange
merit. it was pointed out. not only in
volved the duplication Of records. but
considerable correspondence between
the central and regional Offices, which
Will be eliminated under the new set-up.
Service Not Impaired.
According to Veterans Administra-
tor Hines. study has shown there will
be no material impairment of service 10
policyholders under the centralized plan.
Nearly all policyholders, he said, mail
premium remittances, so the change
will not inconvenience them In any
way. In addition he declared. the re-
g1onal ofices will continue to accept
premium payments in cash.
Latest records of the Veterans Ad-
ministration show there were GIL .1l4
policies in force August 81. compared
with 641.l40 at the same time last year.
The reduction was attributed to six
factors: Death claims awarded, disabil-
ity claims awarded paid-up policies.
cash surrenders, matured endowmentS
and cancellations and lapses
The Veterans Administration at the
present time is paying on 162011 active
claims for death and disability In adj
dition, it has paid out 49,158 claims.
