LITTLE BENNY

My cuzzln Artie stayed at my house
last mite, and after supper pop was
smoking and thinking in his private
chair and me and Artie started to
have a argewment, me saying, Aw. you
don't know what you're tawking about,
you're so dunn If you was cawt out
in the rain you'd 60 and tern hose
on yourself to try and keep dry.
o is that so, well you're so dunn
YOU still think the earth is fiat but it's
only the shape Of your dunn brane,
Artie said
o yeh, we'll you're so dunn you'd
wawk rite into a hole in the ground,
and that's just the shape of your brane,
TO shape at all for the simple reason
Why because you haven't got a brane
and never did and never will, I said
Being a swell answer, and Artie said,
Well if you RELY want to know how
dunn you are. you're SO dunn you'd jump
off roof thinking you could fly, and
it would be the smartest thing you
ever did because smart people like me
wouldn't half to listen to your dunn
tawk any more, Artie said.
Being good one on me, and was
just going to give him a even better
one when pop said, zee gods Geese
firing, I was just on the point Of pay
ing your expenses for round trip
to one ice cream parler, but if you're
both as dunn as all that, I don't think
I want to be mixed up with you.
Well G, pop, we're not really SO dunn,
said Do you want to know how
brite Artie is? He's so sbrite he cant
go out at mite or elts people mite think
he's a fire, I said, and Artie said.
And do you want to know how brite
Bonnie is? He's so brite he can reed
by his own reflexion. he said.
Congratulations on the sudden i'm

said. And he gave us ice cream money
and we ran out like lightning.

NANCY PACE
This Is Garments Own De-
sign for Quilt.
~ DnrNCr "a HANRE
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

II thought some Of your young
daughters might like to make this quilt
for the dolls bed. The original came
from a young girl named Gertrude Car
mencita Black, who lives in Dora, Ala.
We have called the quilt "Carmen'i
block" Carmen says she made up the
pattern herself. The block she sent me
was sewed in black thread. Shall we
tell Carmen that she should be sure to
use white and that it should be No. 90
or SOP" Nancy asked her club this
question.
There are numberless variations OF
this quilt pattern It may have all the
small squares of different pieces. Or II
may use white for the large squares and
two shades Of blue or pink or yellow,
lavendar or green for the small squares
Or plain color and figured might be
used for the small squares.
The Nancy Page quilt club members
studied the design as shown in the full
size pattern leaf1et and decided to use
two shades of one color and white.
In cutting the pieces they remem-
bered that no seams had been allowed,
SO an extra quarter inch was added on
all sides when cutting.
The pieces need to be cut true and
straight The materials chosen must
be color fast.
In the direction leaflet the simplest
sort of quilting pattern is shown. Its

can refuse for hours to allow
the nipple to lie in their
mouths or stubbornly refrain from
sucking upon it. Why children have
such objections to bottles and nipples
is not always easy to decide.
The nipple itself may be a badly
chosen one, so long that it literally
cIlokes the small baby. It may be SO
stiff that pressure upon it IS painful
or tiresome. It may have no holes at
ALL as some rubber nipples are manu-
featured without openings, or the holes
may be so few and so small that the
baby is exhausted from trying to ex-
tract nourishment.
Possibly the milk formula, when first
presented to the child, Is distasteful
to him, and so he refuses even to taste
any subsequent presentation. The con-
scientious parent, fearful Of anything
cool, may prepare too hot formula
and the luckless infant may burn his
tongue at the first mouthful. This Is
quite enough to sour him permanently
against further trials at bottle feeding.
Further efforts to lure him to accept
a bottle containing milk are unsuc-
cessful because of his previous expert
ence with bottles.
The mother who props a bottle pre-
cariously against a pillow and goes
away, leaving the poor infant to fend
for himself is certain to discourage
his efforts at bottle feeding. Any child
who is fed by bottle should be hand
fed" The mother should hold the
bottle at a comfortable angle, so that
the nipple is filled with milk and not
mixture of air and milk Stop the
feeding frequently and allow the baby
to change position.
Often the baby's refusal to accept
milk by bottle had better be treated by
offering milk via spoon or cup until
the child has forgotten his antagonism.
Meanwhile do little mental figuring
as to the possible cause of the early
enmity toward the bottle, and be Ger
tain that this cause is removed before
trying the bottle again.

she deserved to be punished and this
was part of the punishment. 1t seemed
to her that Mother Bear never would
get through licking up those ants. And
the knowledge that she might have
had a share in them had she minded
did not make her feel any better
But all things come to an end at
last The supply of ants ran out and
Mother Bear came shutting over to
the tree where Betty Bear was, =,
you may come down now" said
Mother Bear.
II had just as soon stay up here"
retorted Betty Bear, who was feeling
contrary.
Come down. ordered Mother Bear
sharply. and there was something in
the tone of her voice that sent Betty
Bear scrambling down as fast as she
could.
AS soon as Betty Bear was on the
ground Mother Bear led the way off
through the Green Forest and you may
be sure that Betty Bear kept close
to her heels When she was tempted
to lag behind she would remember
that other great Bear who had tried
to catch her for his dinner and would
hurry to catch up with mother.
Through the Green Forest they wan
dered Betty Bear wished Mother Bear
would lead them to a berry patch.
She was so hungry all the more hun
CRY for having watched Mother Bear
feast on those ants. But Mother Bear
didn't seem to be thinking of berries
for she didn't go toward the place
Mother Bear stopped and sat up and
shifted. Betty Bear sat up and shifted
but she didn't smell anything that she
recognized.
You stay right here" growled
Mother Bear, " and when I say right
here I mean right here
"Yes'm I WILL" replied Betty Bear.
"Where are you going?"
Not far" said Mother Bear. You
sit here and watch"
She shuffled over to a rather high
stub of a tree. stood still moment
looking up toward the top. then stood
up and dug her great claws into the
wood She began to tug and pull. 1t
was right then that Betty Bear became
aware of a faint hunlming sound that
gradually grew louder Mother Bear
ripped out piece from that stub and
the humming grew louder and 1t had
an angry sound.
Then happening to glance up Betty
Bear saw that there was cloud OF
what looked to her like big flies around
the Top OF tnat STUD. Even as size
looked that cloud seemed to settle
around Mother Bears head. She paid
no attention save now and then to
wipe her face with big paw. She
was too intent on tearing that old
stub apart Finally she threw her
great arms around it and began to pull
Then she pushed. And between pull
ing and pushing she would tear at it
with her great claws.
Now that old stub was little more
than shell and presently it went over
with q crash. 1t struck a rock and

i If my partner bid two spades
I would bid two no trumps,
hoping he could raise this to three, in
which case I will have an easy task.
However, if he shows a weak hand by
bidding three spades, it is close whether
to bid three no trumps or four spades.
In view of my various tenaces and my
solid protection, I would decide for
three no trumps. However, change my
hand to

I would raise spades at once over part
ner's first takeout in that suit. II nv
partner had not passed, I would bid
three spades in case he wished to de-
velop a slam try. He may have other
bids to make, and I do not want to
crowd the bidding. If I were to bid
four spades, it would be too encouraging
a bid and mislead him into crediting
me with three aces. By bidding three
spades assure him of spade-fit and
ask him to decide between three no
trumps and four spades, or possibly
to start slam signals. Whatever he
does next, I will have everything I
have promised by my bidding SO far.
If he Is so pitifully weak that he must
pass three spades, that will presumably
be the right spot.
Make More Decisive Move When Part
ner Has Passed.
II my partner had previously passed
would relieve him of doubt or strain
by bidding four spades over his first
take-out of two spades. The weaker
his hand the greater the advantage of
the spade contract is likely to be as
against no trumps, and this will be
true whether his spade suit is of four
cards or five or six. My hand also
lends itself to suit play in that par
ticular declaration; the opening lead
through my hand will not hurt and
may run up to an honor in declarer's
hand. At least it will probably be a
NEUTRAL factor as far as I can judge.

trumps first or second hand. II my
partner had already passed would feel
that my spade fit and numerous ten
aces and sound protection justified me
in bidding three no trumps, and thus

spades and a singleton or two double

my hope is that my partner can bid,
over my two no trump rebid. three no
trumps. If he gives the warning bid
of three spades, what should do next?
I now know that he has at least five
spades. so that I have ample support
in that suit But he has also told me
that his hand is weak. With the
openers hand given above, would bid
three no trumps, hoping that the
enemy cannot shut out dummy's spades
by holding up the ace until the third
round, or that I will find or be able
to set up an entry card Of some kind
If my partners spades are headed by
only the queen. I may expect some out
side card to bring them in. I have
enough general protection to avoid a
serious penalty if everything is wrong;
moreover, it is unlikely that will be
doubled. If so, can still run to four
