Hackberries are great travellers.
They are now found in a growing area
of some 1000, 900 square miles. That
is, in a distribution from New Eng
land to the Pacific Coast and the
Puget Sound region and southwark to
Florida and Texas. Strangely enough.
it is most often found alone-just
where some bird dropped the hack
berry seed baby. Sometimes it is seen
in a little family group-mother and
her children. Birds evidently did not
travel that way last year, and the
seed babies dropped to the ground
below.
There are only few months when
this tree does not have few fruits
dangling on the twigs. 1t would seem
to be an excellent tree to plant in city
parks, where travelling birds could
feast and rest. You can even trans
plant these trees, when they are size
able. 1t is their shallow, fbrous
roots, with a lot of soil clinging to
them, that help them bear the trans
planting with little discomfort.
1t is a worthwhile neighbor and
would be an addition to private
grounds and a handsome tree for the
city streets.

place only II the entire fne OF ma
terials is fully present still governs our
needs for repair just as infallibly.
AS the body grows it does not add
new organs or new tissues, but both
organs and tissues add to their extent
by uniform growth, and the little body
of the child is a small-scale adult body
in every particular. except that during
the first two years of life, the digestive
juices are not exactly the same for
child and adult.
Also the child Is much more active
during each day than even the labor
ing adult. actually developing more
foot-pounds of energy in proportion to
the size than would an adult with
pick and shovel, or so science tells us.
This being the case. the child needs
more fuel foods in proportion to size
than the adult, these best in the form
of starches and sugars, our natural
fuels.
Fats can take the place in large part
of these concentrated carbohydrate
foods, and do so largely during the
period when life is supported almost
wholly from milk.
But when the teeth are all in place,
and the child is now able to eat more
concentrated foods, nature comes to
its aid with a greater percentage of
ptyalin in the saliva, thus enabling it
to digest the concentrated carbohy-
drates easily, and then its activity in
creases. as walking, running and mi
mute exploring occupy a large part Of
each day.
Nature makes no mistakes, and we
should be guided wholly by her in the
feeding of small children, as in all
else. which means that all the needs
Of energy, growth and repair can be
met with a daily intake of raw milk,
raw and unsweetened fresh fruit juices
with small amount also Of the raw
extracted vegetable juices. and chill
dren fed so will need nothing, will
grow as fast as others, and will be
far more active, more intelligent, will
walk earlier, develop teeth earlier, and
will escape the dangers of digestive
troubles that are the chief cause of
the early taking of Of so many little
children every year.
Remember that the law of growth is
never suspended so long as we live,
and must be met for repair purposes
just as surely as for original growth,
and these indications can be met in
no other way than through the food.

be that way if they didn't believe that
there is real danger"
They are not as young as they
used to be and are growing timid,

Il don't believe there is the least bit

his time He would show his father

that he was quite able to look out for
himself. At last his opportunity
came. Mother was at the house in
the lower pond. Father had stopped
to do some work on the upper dam.
The two young Beavers had gone
ahead to get some logs that had been
cut, ready to be towed down to the
food pile. The willful one waited
until the other had started with a
long stick. Then. instead of taking
one himself, he deliberately went
ashore and waddled back beyond the
stump Of the last tree cut.
He looked around and selected a
tree bigger than any he ever had cut
before He sat up with his big fiat
tail for Q brace and started work.
He bit into the tree with his sharp
cutting teeth and pried out big
chip. Then he hastily looked around

THE coat of arms displayed was
l. found on the tomb OF Capt.
Thomas Beale. jr.. of Chestnut Hill
in Richmond County, Va.
The name Beale originated, it is
believed, from the name of "Biel," a
town in Switzerland. There Is q
Gaelic word "beul," which means
mouth, from which it may have been
derived.
There were several first settlers"
bearing this name in America, and
it is possible that, although some of
them established homes in Virginia
and others in the far North, they no
doubt descended from the same fore
bears. The coat of arms shown is
identical with those used by the
Beales Of London, England.
Col. Thomas Beale, the father Of
Capt. Thomas. lived in York County,
Va. He was a member of the Co
lonial Council under Gov. Berkeley.
In New England there are listed
exactly seven early settlers who bore
the names of Beale, Beal and Beals.
Col. William Beale came from Lon
don, and in 1853 was living In York.
Me. He returned TO his native heath,
but his son, Arthur. remained to
carry on the name in America.
Thomas Beale was at Cambridge,
Mass In 1884. Samuel lived in
Salem; John came from Norfolk,
England, to bingham, Mass; Abra-
ham was a resident OF Charlestown.
Mass, in 1857; Benjamin was living
in Dorchester, Mass, in 1874. and
Joseph was an inhabitant of Ports
mouth, N. H., in 1881.

lar style is the puffed-sleeved type with
ruf1es at the neck and a short, perky
skirt jutting out over crisp boomers

Our sketch shows model that
smart mothers like because it is simple
and easy to launder. 1t comes with
two lengths of sleeves. For cold Win
ter days the dress may be of fine wool

long sleeves to hide the little woolies
underneath. Linen, batiste or sheer
lawn may be used in the ruffling at
the neck The other version, which is
the one intended for the 2-year-olds,
is made of appropriately pale tones
and has the shorter length sleeve.
The use of contrast is a matter OF
choice.
In the sketch, patterned fabric,
matching the bloomers, is shown. The
idea is gay and practical for every
day purposes and it gives variety to
the child's wardrobe. The back and
front insets in the skirt are prettily
shaped, giving definite feeling of
design to the frock and supplying it
with extra fullness at the same time.

The bidding

North's bid of six diamonds is some
what OF a gamble. But South's refusal
to bid no trumps when he has adver-
tised a solid diamond suit more or less
places him with an honor in cluos
(since he has no honor in hearts,
in all probability the ace. Therefore
the queen of spades and the singleton
heart justifies the six bid.
West opened his fourth best spade
South won the trick in dummy-East
starting highlow signal with the ten
spot. The singleton heart was played
from the dummy. East went in with
the ace and returned a diamond.
South winning with the ace.
South's second heart was trumped
in dummy, and diamond played
back At this point South could see
a squeeze developing on West. If he
held the king Of clubs and four
spades. 1t is not necessary to play
the ace Of clubs to execute the squeeze,
but South still has the possibility of
spade break. After leading out five
rounds of trumps. dummy will be
down to three spades-the queen, ten
of clubs. The last diamond squeezes
West. but unless South plays the ace
Of clubs first, thus forcing West to
discard either the king of clubs or a
small spade, he will not know whether
to discard the ten of clubs from dunn
my or the seven of spades.
The play of the ace of clubs, as
though the hand were a Vienna coup,
relieves South of any guess, and en-
ables him to waltz home with a small
slam.

HHE trees close to the water had

nothing to disturb Paddy and his

too wise with the wisdom of long ex-
perience to believe that there was no

watchful than ever.
But the two young Beavers, es-
pecially one Of them, thought this all
foolishness. Because all the long

was the least danger from any.

Roman Slaves.

A FTER the Romans conquered lands
around the Mediterranean Sea,
Italy became a hive of slaves. When
battle was won, and some of the
enemy were captured, it was a custom
to let the prisoners live-not from
mercery. but from a desire for gain.
The general could sell his prisoners
TO slave-dealers who followed his army
from place to place. The dealers
bought them at a low price. They
paid for guards. and suffered losses
because some Of the captives died
from disease, or committed suicide,
curing the long hard march to Italy.
Wholesale dealers usually sold the
slaves to local dealers in Rome or
other cities. Pubic auctions were
held, a spear being set up to mark
the place Of sale. There was a wide
range Of prices. Some slaves were
obtained for as little as 500 in our
money; in other cases much more was
paid.
As a rule the slaves were white men.

Others were dark-skinned folk from

against German tribes of Central
Europe brought thousands of men,
women and children into the service
of Rome. The day was to come when
German tribes would sweep through
the Roman empire as conquerors, but
for centuries the Romans held their
sway, and all the rich or well-to-do
families had slaves. A Roman gentle
man" felt that it was a disgrace if he
did not own at least 10 or IS slaves.
Sometimes one family was served by a

The Roman general, Marius, sold
