Mr.. Blacksnake's Mistake.
Excitement all too often makes
For most unfortunate mistakes.
Mother West Wind.

N II r. BLACKSNAKE is what is
NH called high-strung. He is quick
in his movements. He is ex-
4 i citable He isn't the fighter
that some people think he is.
That is, he doesn't go about locking for
a fight. He is far more eager to run
away than to fight. But he is no
coward. If cornered he will fight. and,
being extremely quick in his move
ments, he is a good fighter when he
must fight Last of all, he is harmless
to human beings.
When Mr. Blacksnake discovered
Farmer Browns Boy he forgot all
about tat breakfast of Baby Robins
he had been just about to enjoy. That
could whit, anyway. He had but one
thought and that was to get away
while tle getting was good. That
back for that later. when the way was
clear. So he glided across to the next
branch and dropped to the ground.
Then he started for the Old Stone Wall
on the edge of the Old Orchard, with
Farmer Browns Boy after him.
Now, Mr. Blacksnake can travel so
fast that he is sometimes called the
Black Racer He travelled fast now,
but the distance was short and Farmer
Browns Boy was close. Mr.. Blacksnake
was excited The thing that he wanted
most of all Just then was to get out OF
sight Of this two-legged creature whom
he feared. Any hiding place would do.
He would dart into the first hole or
crevice he came to.
Swiftly he glided under the bushes
along the Old Stone Wall, straight for
the latter. There right in front of

himself. Then he was seized and held.
Farmer Browns Boy had grabbed him
back of the head. He was a prisoner.
so, I've got you at last, you old
nest robber!" exclaimed Farmer Browns
Boy. Now, the question is, what shall
I do with you? A lot of people would
say that I ought to kill you, because
you take eggs and young birds. But
those same people eat chickens and
lamb and veal, and I don't really see
what the difference is. The nesting
season doesn't last long. and after that
you will do no harm, and may do lot
of good, 1 suspect, by catching Mice.
Anyway Old Mother Nature had some
use for you or she wouldn't have put
you here. I could take you way on
somewhere and let you go, but I don't
think I will. Not yet, anyway. Not
until the nesting season is over"
Meanwhile Mr.. Blacksnake, finding
his struggles in vain. had quieted
down. All the birds of the Old orchard
were rejoicing nightly. and were
eagerly watching to see what Farmer
Browns Boy was going to do. When
he went back to the barn, taking Mr..
Blacksnake with him, they thought the
latter was dead and great fear was
removed. They hurried off to attend
to their own affairs ard once more
there was peace in the Old orchard.
But Mr.. Biacksnake wasn't dead. He
was unhurt, simply prisoner IN
cage where he soon became very tame.
When the nesting season should end ne
would be given his liberty up In the
Old Pasture, but of course he didn't
know this.

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.
Pain.

Pain.
Suppose you assume that your mental
contents, "lock, stock, and barrel" come
to you through your sense organs. At
birth, or at least some time before birth,
you know nothing except through the
workings Of the special organs"-eye,
ear, nose. skin and tongue There are
many other senses not ordinarily in
cluded in the five-fold classification of
special senses" Anyway, just before
you have mind" you have only the
unexercised equipment for mind
Where does pain come in? And Why?
Any sense organ overstimulated gives
pain. You may have some purely pain
organs in addition to the five others.
This is debatable question, but not
very debatable
The question of the "why" Of pain
Is more important. Pain serves an i'm
portant purpose. The fact that you
can not always locate the source of
pain makes little difference. Often
enough, or rather too often, your pains
are merely maginary-hypochon
feelings. Pain Is a call from some
where for readjustment to something.
Suppose we say that pain is the SYM
Dol OF maladjustment When YOU feel
pain, look to your diet, or to the thou
sand and one parasites that may be
feeding on your flesh, or to the me-
chanical operation Of your myriad
parts, or to some falsity Of your under
standing OF what Is real and what is
not real. Pain promotes well-being.

A Sermon for Today
Our Earthlv Placement.
BY REV. JOHN 4. GUM.

~Hoap excellent in thy loving ksnd.
aess o Godl therefore the children OF
Yuen nut their trust under the shddo1o
of thu ,oinqs."- Ps. 36:7.
IF God is loving and kind, as TINS
psalmist proclains Him to be, why
are things as they are IN the worlo!
According TO the whole teaching o! tne
Bible. we are to believe that Goo loves
His children, that He Is merciful, ana
moreover, that He Is all-poWerful. HOW
can we believe this when there is SO
much suffering, and so many terrible
things happening in the world? what
is the purpose OF it all? II one says
It is for the purpose of building strength
of character or because God mas Otner
purposes to accomplish, whatever tney
NAV be. IL He is all-powerful could he
not surely accomplish His ends IN some
other manner? If He loves us, why old
not God make things easier Tor us?
This is an age-old question. l 90
not claim to have the ultimate answer
to 1t. I cannot tell you why Goa olo
not make this a different world from
what IL Is. I cannot tell you why he
did not establish a different set OF laws
and conditions to govern our lives. we
get lost when we begin to speculate as
to why God did not do things other
wise than He has done them. For my
part. I am not disposed to worry over
problems that l cannot understand;
After all, the problem attitude OF mlno
is not the best attitude. Pernaps II
Is but natural that we should sometimes
wonder why so much grief ana sorrow
are included in the scheme OF human
life. But unless we believe these tnlngs
are appointed for us by one whose
wisdom cannot err and whose love
cannot fail, life becomes terrifying
enigma.
Let us not waste our time wondering
why things are as they are. All Gods
anpointments for us are the appoint
ments of His loving kindness. There
fore let us put our trust under the
shadow of His wings. We do not know
all the thoughts of God, nor can we
understand all His ways. But every
day we feed from his table, drink from
His fountain and walk in His sunshine
we ought 70 be grateful to Him, and
If we are grateful, it will not be difhcult
for us to recognize His loving kindness
in our earthly placement.
Our placement on earth may not De
the best possible placement for ease
and comfort, and yet I think We are
bound TO see, even with our limited
view of things. that it is the best pos
sible for our moral and spiritual train
ing. Besides the matter Of our train
ing. could we be happy If all things
came TO us without toll or trial? Is not
the keenest JOY Of life the JOY of con-
quering?

Summer Airings.

TINE baby who enters the world in
the Summer months may begin
to have daily airings as early as

thus escape dosages Of cod liver
oil until September.
Usually baby can have his airsngs in
the privacy Of his own porch OF yard.
Here, with his body barred to the preezes
and the sun, he will get his allotment
of vitamin D. The suns rays on the
baby's bare skin activate the oil in the
skin and produce vitamin D. During
the Winter months the very same vita
min D has to be taken internally in
the form Of cod liver oil, super D, or
viosterol.
These daily airings prevent the de-
velopment Of ricketts,. The bones and
teenth and tissues subtract generously
from the minerals in the diet. The
bones grow straight and strong, the
teeth pop in on schedule and the baby
is a placid, good-tempered, little. lump,
just the opposite of the slowly .devel-
oping, whiny, irritable baby whc lacks
sufficient minerals in his system,

West Coast Critics Believe Four May Make the
 Mythical Team
BY vIRGIL PINKLEY

(United Press Stan Correspondent
 Los Angeles, (UP)--Although Ali-American football selections are three months away. Southern California critics and fans have been nominating and publicizing players for many weeks.
 Four members of the University or Southern California Trojans. na- tional champions, have been boost ed as All-American possibilities.
 The players are Homer Griffith, quarterback and fullback; Allen Rosenberg, guard: Captain Ford Palmer. end, and Bob Erskine, tackle.
 U. S. 0. Stars Hold Advantage
 Southern California stars hold an advantage over other Pacific coast players, writers believe, be- cause the Trojans play under Coach Howard H. Jones, and in meeting Notre Dame at South Bend give mid-western and eastern crit ics n chance to sec them in action.
 Griflth is Q triple threat back, weighing 1S7 pounds. Last year he became Troy's "man of the hour" when he was called upon in mid season to replace Orv Mohler at quarter. During the remainder of the season he' started at quarter and then shifted to fullback when Irvine Warburton entered the game. Griffith has power for line- smashing. plays and speed in the open field.
 Trojan coaches consider him tho ''spark plug" of the team. He is one of the three best passers on the coast.
 Praised by Coach
 Rosenberg Is tho best guard l ever have seen." is the way Navy" Bill Ingram, California coach, rates him.
 Rosy" weighing BIO pounds and six feet, one inch tall, leads defense is stationed at tho fullback position. He is ono of tho fastest players on' Jones' squad and 0 >hne blocker.
 Few ends in western football his tory have tho all-around ability of Ford Palmer, Trojan captain.
 Six feet tall. weighing 1s7 pounds. he Is a solid type of player who can stand 60 minutes of gruel- ling football. Last year he caught passes which scored touchdowns against Pittsburgh, Stanford, ore gon state and Washington State. He played defensive halfback in most of last years games. He prob ably is tho best ball hawk on the Trojan club.
 .King Kong"
 They call him King Kong" Erskinc. Yos, Bob Erskine Is the player many expect to become Jones seventh All-American tackle.
 As q freshman he weighed 1S0 pounds. Today he weighs 215 pounds, but has lost little of his sptcd and agility. As n freshman he played end. He was shifted to tackle during his sophomore year and last year played offensive halfback and defensive end.
