Sly Rascal
The world is made up. you will find.
OF good and bad of every kind
Old Mother Nature.

- HATTERER, the Red Squirrel,
is sly rascal. Every one
knows that. There are times
~ when he is bold and always
he is impudent. but of all the
people in the Green Forest none is more
sly than he He is a spy and spy has
to be sly. He is always spying on his
neighbors, trying to find cut what they
are doing and all about their affairs.
This is one reason he is not better
liked by his neighbors.
Now it is In the Spring and early
Summer that Chatterer gets into the
worst mischief There are bad, sad
stories about him and the things he
has done. Like most people who are
doing things that he doesn't do, but
friends wish he didn't do. Among
other things he steals eggs. Yes, sir,
he steals eggs. And just as you like
q dinner of tender chicken, he likes a
dinner of baby birds. So in the Spring
and early Summer Chatterer has no
friends among the feathered folk. The
moment he is seen he is suspected OF
no good purpese and the alarm is
given This has made him sly. He
keeps that at other times noisy tongue
of his still. and he moves about silently
and tries to keep out of sight.
OF course the eggs that Chatterer
steals are the eggs of the smaller
feathered folks. He feels quite safe in
taking these. He would prefer the
bigger eggs such as those of Blacky the
Crow and the members of the Hawk

Packing Menus for Picnic Meals
BY LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

| Baked beans can be carried in q
vacuum bottle or fruit jar II wrapped
as described. Hot meat sandwiches put
in empty tin containers with well fitting
covers and wrapped with newspapers
will be made extra hot when gravy,
carried in vacuum bottle or fruit jar, is
poured over them on their serving
plates.
For the roast dinner pack the cooked
vegetables around the meat in the
oouble roasting pan or in a bread or
cake tin. Baked potatoes are good to
take and the larger sized vegetables
rather than smaller ones, such as peas,
string beans, etc, although, if these
are put in separate container they,
too can be packed about the roast.
Everything must be cooked and ready
to serve when packed. Then use many
thicknesses of newspaper to wrap about
the well covered container with its
ample contents and the food will keep
hot long time.
taken add sharp carving knife and
large fork for cutting and helping out
the bird or other roast. Paper cups
are handy for picnic use
Celery, radishes. pickles, olives, ETC.,
any or all are welcome extras for the
dinner of whatever sort. Cake and
tarts are easily carried desserts. Fruit
OF some sort and wee nibble, at least,
OF candy is appreciated Hot coffee, tea
or cocoa should be taken when the hot
meal is stressed. Don't forget to take
salt, pepper and sugar. Unless sand
wiches are part of the menu, be sure to
take buttered bread or rolls or butter
and bread.

Ladybirds have kept abreast with the

long, tedious trips by wing These
beetles are our most important insect
friends and we are always glad to well
come them in our gardens At night,
the mother ladybiltl creeps under
leaf and rests there until daybreak If
you live in the country and are abroad
at that time, you will see these little
assistants Of ours racing hither and
thither like mad. They are seeking
likely leaf on which to lay their eggs.
Ladybirds are most careful about
their toilets. but at times in their great
haste to settle their families, they for
get to tuck their ''nighties" or petticoats
in. I am sure you have seen a wee
edge of wing exposed to view.
If you disturb these busy workers,
they apparently drop dead" at your
feet. They lie on their backs and re-
main in this position until they are
convinced all danger Is past. Working
their feet like a whirlwind, they right
themselves and go blithely about their
business.
In the early Spring you will see lady
birds creeping from their Winter quar-

They seem to know just where the

drawing or a pieced block"
This block is best made into an all
over pattern. AS developed it calls for
three colors, no white. The four squares
in the corner are all of one color. The
patches shown dark in the small draw
ing are of another color and the ones
shown whitehall is the small dia-
mond ones-are of third color.
This quilt could be developed with
the squares in black and white print,
much white with small black dots or
tiny figures.
The other colors could be plain green
and figured green and white, or fig
ured lavender and figured green.
The color scheme is really an indi-
vidual matter Be sure materials are
color last and of small pattern, for
this design does not use patches large
enough to carry of" big patterns, nor
ones with much white in them.
For an all-over quilt of double bed
size I'd allow three yards for small
diamonds and four yards for squares.
Follow directions for gettin patterns

these folks. So he spends his time
looking for nests of the smaller
feathered neighbors. Even these he does
not rob boldly, but watches for chance
to steal the eggs when they are un-
guarded for lew minutes. You know
the feathered folk have way of band
ing together to punish a thief, and
their bills are sharp.
From the time Creaker the Grackle
and his friends had arrived Chatterer
had been keeping watch of them.
"GracSle eggs are big enough to be
worth while" said Chatterer as he
talked to himself. They are worth a
little time and trouble to get I don't
want any trouble with Creaker or his
friends for they are big enough to
| hurt if they get in few good blows
| No, sir, I don't want any trouble with
any of those birds, but I do want some
of their eggs. Probably they will build
in those pine trees where they built
last year. I would like to get Crackers
eggs. He and Mrs Creaker are the
yet have been, able to get any of their
eggs. I'll keep my eye on them and
see where they are building
So Chatterer sneaked about and hid
where he could watch the Grackles.
One BY one he located the nests in the
pine trees and studied how he could
best get at each when it might be un-
=! guarded, and how he could best get
away again. But though he kept a
sharp watch he did not see Mr.. and
Mrs. Creaker in those pine trees
Can it be-" thought he, that they
are not going to nest in one of those
trees! never have known them to
fail before. If they are nesting some
where else I must find out where"
At last Chatterer caught a glimpse
of Mrs. Creaker flying with her bill
filled with nesting material. He knew
that she would fly straight to the nest
she was building, so of course he knew
the direction in which to look for it..
At once he set out after her, travelling
] in the tree-tops as much as possible,
jumping from tree to tree wherever
he could, and all the time taking the
greatest care not to be seen by any

Uncommon Sense
Find Out
.BY FANNY Z. CORY.
BY JOHN BLAKE.

~ ONT be annoyed by people
who, when they first meet you.
ask you questions about your
- self. your family and your
business. The most aloof and
cold denizen of urban New England
would not ask these questions. but he
nevertheless would want to know the
answers.
We are a curious race, and 1t is an
excellent thing for us that this is so.
Women of the sewing circle are said
to be inquisitive. but they are no more
so than their husbands and brothers.
And why not be inquisitive?
Supposing all men had been like the
hard-boiled, typical upper-class Briton
who scorns to ask questions OF others.
We should still be making stone
hammers like the cave man. who wes
convinced without asking any questions
that stranger was an enemy, and
that the only safe course was to knock
him over the head.
The Creator, infinitely wiser than We
instilled in man native curiosity,
which he has used more and more, as
his mind developed. in educating him.
self. and in passing his education
around.
Had men been as incurious as the
old gentlemen who sit in club windows
appear to be, there would have been
no problem about the shape of the
earth, and our forefathers would have
taken 1t for granted that 1t was fat
and surrounded with an impossible
ocean.
Columbus was the first man really
TO employ this curiosity for the benefit
of man. for the Norsemen who came
here before him were only curious
about fish. and probably never knew
that they had set foot on new CONT
nent.
Columbus died without knowing that
new continent had been found by
him, but ne was convinced that the
world was round, and that by sailing
in one direction long enough he might
return to his starting point His mis-
take was in not thinking that perhaps
this Western waterway might have on
it a few obstacles to navigation

The crack Of DOOM is a familiar
expression to denote the Judgment
day. or Day of Doom at the end of
the world. when. in the belief Of some
people. all souls will be judged
This may sound like the phrase
making of a modern evangelist. But
as matter of fact it dates back as
far as 1906. and takes its origin in
Shakespeare's tragedy of Macbeth"
1t is in the fourth act, in the scene
between Macbeth and the witches, as
the apparitions of the eight kings ap-
pear before Macbeth, that he says
after seeing the first four:
why do you show me this? A
fourth! Start, eyes!

shoes that are comfortable. While it
is natural for some types to have large
knee joints. various injuries and in
ternal disturbances may cause the
knees to become puffy and misshapen
If these conditions exist, 1t Is better to
have medical treatments. Walking,
swimming and dancing are excellent
exercises for stiff or fat knees, how
ever Try the following exercises every
night and morning for several weeks:
Stand erect, one hand resting on hip,
the other resting on the back of
chair. Raise the knee obliquely for
ward, point the toe downward and 70
tate the lower part of the leg in wide
circles. Rotate 10 to 20 times in each
direction with each leg alternately.
(2) Stand with both feet turned slightly
outward, one foot advanced little In
'front.' Rise on the balls of the feet,
then slowly fex the knees deeply: rise
up again, lower the heels. Repeat 10
to 20 times. Massage the f1eshy part
with rubbing or massage alcohol. Ap-
ply hot and cold towels for several
minutes at bedtime. Then give good
massage treatment with the rubbing
alcohol after the exercise. Please send

ask for my leaflets, Reducing Lower
Limbs" and "Care Of the Feet and
Legs" They will help you with your
beauty problem. LOIS LEEDS.
