1t was from the Big River, although
he was still far from where the bank

soon the water was creeping around
his feet. A little way of the ground
was just a little higher. Peter went
there and once more sat down to
watch the food. Way out where the
Big River really was the waters were
tossing. for there was a strong cur

cakes Of ice brought down from far
up North were rolling and grinding
against each other. 1t was too dark
for him to see these, but he could
hear them.
Peter sat there for q long time,

steadily creeping around that little
rise Of ground, until at last it was
an island, but Peter didn't know 1t.

Hope Springs Eternal.

To get a franc or two from France,
Though this may seem
The kind Of dream
Which one may term as dizzy.
Her government has hardly yet
Had time to think about the debt:
Some day she may
Decide to pay;
But now she's very busy.
She has to keep an active eye
On nations that are nearer by:
Her home affairs
Are filled with cares;
Times are not bright nor sunny.
But when these things are straight
ened out
She'll have sufficient time, no doubt,
To find a way
That she can pay
Old Sam little money.
So here's to good old Frances health!
Let's hope she shortly rolls in wealth;
Let all her vines
Produce rare wines,
Let all the Fates protect her,
Till she las grown so prosperous
That she no more will scowl at Us,
But write to say:

Uncle Ray
Travels of Capt. Cook.
A Pacific Voyage,


F YOU were asked to name five
leading sea captains of history,
which would you choose?
i Very likely you would give Ma
gellan, Vasco da Cana and Co.
lumbus without much question, and
as fourth you might name Sir
Francis Drake.
For fifth on the list, suggest James
Cook, who twice circled the globe in
a sailing ship. Like Magellan. he was
killed during his travels, in a quarrel
with natives on a Pacific island. and
also as in the case of Magellan, it
was his custom to be kind to natives
whose lands he visited.
Cook was born in England in 1923.
The son Of a farm worker, he had
little help from his family in push
ing ahead in his career, but after
starting as sailor he rose step by
step until he held the rank of captain
in the royal navy. His skill in sea-
manship and his power to lead men
brought him command OF three voy-
ages into the Pacific Ocean.
On the first Of these voyages Cook
sailed across the Atlantic until he
reached the southern end Of South
America.

took part in the trip, "the captain

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Sublimation.

ONE Of the big problems in every
~ day life Is to find out what to
do with your feelings. Education, CIV
ilization, good taste, and even the law,
say you must not give vent to them.
You will probably be hurt in a social
way II you don't learn to control your
emotions.
Psychologists have recently taken
issue with civilization and good taste
on this question, although they have
not yet dared take issue with the
law. Their plea is for liberation Of
the expression OF feelings. at least on
points Of minor importance. In other
words, they recognize a place for
something more than mere righteous
indignation" They would not dis
courage an occasional mild emotional
stampede, or a strained vocabulary. At
any rate, they would allow the indi-
vidual situation to develop far enough
to avoid suppression" which is the
root Of q great deal Of social malad-
justment. Emotional completes grow
ing out Of suppression are responsible
for deceit. hypocrisy, nervousness. and
even crime.
Happily these same psychologists
have discovered a remedy which de-
serves consideration. II you can't
work your feelings of directly, then
do it indirectly; that is, sublimate
them. The bowling alley, the wood
pile, even a brisk walk, will help you
get rid Of bothersome emotions. Per-
hapS you have noticed that those who
have nothing to do are likely to brood
over their feelings. So 60 to work.

Let's get in front of that long

Stand with your weight over the

against the right knee and the left

Do you like the way you look? II

That IS because the picture has no
balance. And balance Is needed to
make any picture attractive.
Now draw your right arm in against
your body, holding the paper or book
at the extreme bottom with the right
hand.
Extend the left hand out to the very
top Of the object and grasp 1t on the

You have foreshortened the line

Always 1t was a time Of great adven-

was happening and how his friends
were faring, and all the gossip and

derweight persons are often bothered
with extreme restlessness. The cure
for this MISUNDERSTANDING habit is
better mental control. The habit Of
planning menus and taking the time
to eat them and enjoy them without
rushing, worrying or hustling, togeth-
er with sufficient sleep. rest and mod

person to develop curves instead Of

increases the efficiency Of ones bodily

Appears Miracle Of Style and Practically
Dress and Jacket Ensemble Of
Cravat Silk Viewed as
Near Perfection.
Smartest Examples Are Kept to
Simple. Classic Lines.
Youthful in Feeling.
RY BARBARA BELL.

BIZ bAnDhhA DLALs
THE dress and jacket ensemble
for Spring and early Summer
is about as near perfection as
i it is possible to get. Many
of the newest and most in
teresting models are made OF cravat
silk, or fabrics of the same silk. The
one shown today is miracle Of style
and practically and its lines are
bound to be flattering to every one.
Because Of the all-around role that
these ensembles are apt to play in
a woman's wardrobe. the smartest
ones keep to simple. classic lines that
are youthful in feeling and which
depend for novelty upon the surface
interest and color of the fabric.
The design illustrated is developed
in closely patterned tie-silk of navy,
with quantities of white used in the
upper section Of the frock and for
the jacket trimming. Other similar
creations are seen In brown with nat
ural color, and in black with pale
pink-a combination that is steadily
growing more popular. A very fem
mime accessory for this last color
scheme is the pink hat, which comes
In every known medium from Milan
straw to linen and gingham.
Sharing with silk in popularity are
the new anti-creaSe cottons and
linens. This pattern is particularly
adapted to these fashionable fabrics.
The yardage requirements being con-
sentative, it is possible to make this
smart ensemble up for a very mod
crate expenditure.
