If need be, to reach their home.
Home to every bird Is where he was
born.
This handsome member of the
duck family used TO be numerous in
the East. Today great numbers may
only be found in the Far West, where
| it breeds.
The breeding range is now from
the Bering Sea coast of Alaska and
Southern Keewatin to Southern Cali
fornia and Central Mexico; in North
ern Texas, Northern Missouri and
Indiana.
Here the courting takes place. The
shoveler is a silent bird and he ex-
presses himself only with a gentle
little took, took" He varies the
infections to suit his state of mind.
The nursery is on the ground, in
the grass. 1t may be close to the
water or some distance from it-de-
pending upon the mother, who seems
to have decided ideas where the
nursery is to be located, though often
1t Is less convenient for reaching the
food supply. There will be from to
II eggs, pale olive-buf or greenish
gray, and resembling those laid by
the pintan or mallard, but smaller.
They are usually laid about the sec
ond week in May.
Ihe favorite landing places are
sloughs and streams, where there
are many reeds, shallow water and
deep black ooze. Here the shovelers
tlp-up and with their efficient shovel
bills scoop up a fine assortment of
grubs, worms, insects and tadpoles.
You will notice two large holes at
the top of the bill These are the
drainers and as the explorer lifts
his head the water and ooze run out.
During the Winter these birds are
found in British Columbia. Arizona
New Mexico, Southern Missouri and
Illinois, as well as in Maryland and
Delaware, south to the West Indies
and Colombia.
Sportsmen will assure you that the
meat OF these birds is far superior
to that of any other duck. AS the
birds are not timid or easily fright
ened, great numbers of them are
killed.
II you will trace the outline of
the shoveler, and then put in the
colors, as described, you will recog-
nize him quickly when you meet him.
and this can also be done with all of
Natures children. 1t is one of the
quickest ways OF impressing your
mind with the field marks for identi-
f1cation of your outdoor neighbors.
The head and the neck of the
male are brown or grayish black.
CLOSED with blush green. The back
and a broken line down the lower
neck are also of grayish black. Lower
neck and breast are white; belly and
lower breast, brownish chestnut;
upper and lower tail-coverts. dark
greenish; lesser wing -coverts, grayish
blue; greater ones, brownish gray.
tipped with white; speculum, green.
The female has a more buffy color
instead Of white.

TOR school wear. practical one
l. piece dresses are being Spon-
sored by the best designers in
l. their Spring collections. Styles
of the tailored type, as illus
trated, are regarded as swagger, and
we see them in every material, from
cotton prints to sheer wool, or mono
tone jersey.
Our pattern amounts almost to an
inspiration-it is so easy to make.
The yoke and center panels are cut in
one. And because the band down the
front is superimposed, the design is
achieved without complications. In
fact, it can be left off entirely, if you
want two different frocks from the
same pattern-one in stripes and one
In plain material.
Early Spring will bring the excite
ment of the new cottons Ginghams,
seersuckers and cotton prints are to
be very gay. Stripes will be more
sophisticated-no ordinary combina-
tions Of two colors, but alliances of
several shades spaced with a fine
sense Of harmony and proportion.
Color enters into the picture, too.
Navy and light blue are recurrent IA
vorites. Pinks, mostly dusty, are pop

especially practicable for the emer-
gency occasion and also when the
appetizer is prepared ahead of time.
The hot appetizer Is best served on
toast or friend bread. If cooked only
on the upper side, you will find that
the toast is more apt to be soft, and
the difficulty of trying to manage a
hard morsel may be avoided. Instead
of toasting the bread, it is sometimes
sauted in little butter until a light
brown. This method is especially
nice with vegetables. We might add
that appetizers can preserve left-overs
as thriftily, and sometimes in a more
savory form, than they were on first
appearance.
The following suggestions for
planning the luncheon or dinner
menus:
Minced ham and pepper relish in
equal proportions. Spread on but
tered bread, toast or crackers.
Anchovy paste, spread on toast tri-
angles and garnished with hard
cooked egg yolk, forced through a
sieve.
Bottled pearl onions, chopped very
fine and mixed with Russian dressing.
Spread on squares Of toast with q
rolled anchovy on top.
Mix hard-cooked egg yolk with
caviar, seasoning with little lemon
juice. Spread rounds of toast or
crackers with the mixture and gar
nish with the white cut in rings.
For a fish canape, crab meat is de-
licious, If seasoned with few drops
of lemon juice and touch of ia
basco sauce.
Flaked salmon, arranged in a neat
mound on toasted bread or crackers,
sprinkled with lemon juice and topped
with a dab of mayonnaise and minced
parsley, is a favorite fish canape.

means of determination of this bal
ance is secured by use of the colori-
meter, prismatic study Of the re-
fracted colors of blood, determining
within certain fairly accurate limits
the degree of free alkali carried by the
blood
While PHI 7.3 is the average alkalin-
ity of the blood, We must keep in
mind the fact that the average repre-
sents great preponderance of those
whose base-balance has fallen too low,
as is the case with the average rather

that even PHI rs is not too high for
the normal individual, even though so

You Can Be Beautiful
As Told to Virginia Vincent
BY CLAUDETTE COLBERT.

to wash away the pettiness Of the
day. 1t restores your poise"
Famous film stars, 1t seems, have
as many complexion troubles as the
average woman. Miss Colbert has
an oily skin. She uses astringents
lavishly. People with oily skins should
be warned against blackheads. Soap
and water, according to Miss Colbert,
are the best defenders against this
menace. A cleansing cream, how
ever, should be used first and be very
thoroughly removed before using the
soapSuds and washcloth.
'I use a powdered French rouge
which comes in a compact, just as
loose powder does" she said, because
it lasts longer on an oily skin and
one does not constantly have to pat
on more rouge. And I change the
color of my rouge frequently"
why do you change your rouge?"
! asked, wondering if her complexion
tone differed with the seasons.
Because think every one should
try out cosmetic colors, just as they
do the new colors of the season. The
color Of your dress should influence
your makeup. The brightness of
the day, toe, should guide you in
applying rouge or lipstick. Eye
shadow, for instance, should only be
applied under strong light, so that
it cannot be detected. Dull days re-
quire brighter makeup"
Miss Colbert is a firm believer in
being her own beauty maker. Though
she may have her hair set by hair
dresser, she always puts the finishing
touches on it herself. Her personal
maid may stand ready with a powder
puff, but it is Miss Colbert who uses
it so Discriminatory.
There is" she says. with a flick Of
long black lashes over her almond
shaped eyes, "an art in applying cos
meticS. Just enough for lure and
not enough to be lurid."

A IL insects have six legs and no

eight legs. Insects usually have two
pairs Of wings, while spiders never
have wings at all. There are many
other features which distinguish
spiders from insects. Spiders belong
to the group called "arachnids." They
have little in common with insects,
although many people think they look
