Increased safety efforts are not only
right from the humane viewpoint,
but they are sound from a business
standpoint. There is a striking need
for improvement in the physical con-
dition Of many working plants In the
United States Of America SO as to
provide tor proper lighting, ventila-
ton, fire escapes, fireproofing, SANTA
ticn, rest rooms and other improve
ments in the interest of workers OF
the community. Such reconstruction
would improve property, put idle me-
chanics to work on installation and
prevent the manning of thousands OF
men and women.
Old-Age Security.-The old-age Sc

Is a problem here which must be met

States which have not already adopted
such forward looking legislation.
If such program as I have out
lined can be carried through to sue

New Way to Decorate a
Birthday Cake.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Dorothy was spending her first year
away at school. She was apt to get
homesick on almost any occasion, so
you can imagine how much she dreaded
her birthday-the first one away from
home
| Her mother and friends realized that
and made special efforts to keep her
| spirits jolly on her birthday
| Early in the morning there was a
| telephone call from home. Her mother
had lined up the members of the FAM
| lily so that each one could step up to
the mouthpiece quickly and offer well
| wishes.
Then the cousins sent kilograms timed
50 that one reached her at noon just
after she came from class. Another
,, arrived shortly before dinner.
The postman staggered in under an
avalanche of bundles. Say. what is
this, Christmas or what? Never had
SO many packages for one girl at any
other time
There were jokes, small presents and
one or two rather substantial ones.
Her mother sent her twin sweater
set that was exactly what Dorothy had
been wanting. 1t is quite possible that
her letters home had revealed that
want.
But the gift that pleased all the
girls most was a birthday cake The
foundation was a loaf cake, rich with
citron and other candied fruit peels.
The top was iced with creamy icing
and then radiating from the center were
laid birthday candles They made a
decorative design and stayed in place
through the shipping because her
mother had laid them fiat into the icing
while it was still soft.

almost surely include the king. In that

probe bids, not intended to ascertain
any suit preferences but solely to locate
some high card which would supply the
key to a slam.

- the Algerian Sahara, the finest
dates in the world are grown
L and shipped to those willing to
pay the fancy prices they bring
The palms are planted deep in the
sand. These places are called dells and
the sloping hanks Of the gardens keep
the parching sun from these trees.
In Persia, Arabia and Northern AZ
rica the date is natural wealth. To
many 1t is the only food supply. The
very pure sugar is easily digested and
the fruit is very nourishing.
The date palm is not in a hurry to
begin its work. For six or even eight
years the palm just grows, then begins
to bear fruit and keeps it up for several
centuries. A tree will average 40 to
200 pounds. If any attention Is given
TO it, the yield will jump to 400 or even
600 pounds. The fruit is borne in clus-
ters beneath the feathery head of the
palm. AS the fruit does not all ripen
at the same time, the laden stem,
weighing some 40 pounds, is cut down
and placed IN dry, shady place
where the immature fruit will ripen.
There are father and mother trees
in this family. When the tree grows
wild, there are about as many mothers
as fathers. When the trees are plant
ed, there is one father to every 40 or
even 100 mothers. In order to insure
the mother flowers getting the priceless
pollen, branches of blossoms are taken
from the father tree and tied beside the
blossoms of the mother tree. Insects
and wind do the transferring.
Nine-tenths of the supply of dates
comes to the United States from

the way. There was always the chance
that Meadow Mouse might be found
and she had no intention Of missing
any such chance If it should offer So
she did not go straight to the Big River,
but Zig-zagged this way and that, in
vestigating every bunch of tall dead
grass that stood above the snow. She
spent some time investigating every
possible hiding place for a Mouse
among the young willows along the
river bank. She had no luck.
At last she was where she could look
across the ice of the Big River to the
open place where the water looked
black and cold. Almost at once she saw
several Ducks swimming there and
three sitting on the ice near the edge
The sight OF those Ducks made Mrs.
Reddy's mouth water. Yes, sir. it made
her mouth water. She had thought she
was hungry before. but now it seemed
as If she couldn't remember ever having
had such an empty stomach.
mat open water was quite near
shore on the other side, and it was on
the ice between the water and the bank
of that side that the three Ducks were
sitting. Keeping well hidden in the
bushes Mrs. Reddy studied the Situa-
ton. There was no way of approaching
those Ducks from where she was with
Que being seen. There wasn't even a
block OF ice to creep behind. The in
stant she stepped out from the cover
IN which she lay she would be seen. If
only she were over on the other bank of
the Big River 1t might be different.
From this distance she couldn't be
sure but 1t looked as If she might get
quite near those Ducks without being
seen
Mrs. Reddy sighed To get over there
she would have to go long way up the
River above bend so as to cross with
out being seen by the Ducks. But a
Duck would be worth the trouble. Yes,
sir, it would be so. She turned. and
keeping back of the bushes along the
bank, trOtted swiftly along She didn't
stop to hunt now She was after some
thing bigger than a Mouse.
When she was above the bend she
poked her head out from the bushes
and looked carefully this way and that
way to make sure that the way was
clear. 1t was She leaped out and started
across on the ice. She fairly flew and
for two reasons. One was that she was
in a hurry to get across and down to
where those Ducks were The other
was that she would be seen at once on
that white river by any one who might
chance that way.
Once across she turned down along
the bank. keeping in among the bushes
as much as possible and taking care not
to show herself on the side toward the
river. At last she was opposite the open
water. Then slowly, with the greatest
care, she crept to where she could peep
out. Two of those Ducks were still
on the ice. The others were in the
water near by. Mrs, Reddy's mouth
began to water again.

Your Body at Work.
The Muscles.

I<Y EFT me see your muscle!"
Those words were spoken
rather often by boys with
IL whom I played many years
ago; and I should not wonder
j boys OF today speak them just as
often. There is certain pride to
showing your muscle" and I remem-
per that I was proud to show what
] had between my elbow and shoulder.
That muscle. called the "biceps,"
bulges out when we double the fist and
bend the arm. People appear to think
more about the biceps of the arm than
any other muscle, but it is only one of
many.
If 1t we're not for the muscles we
could not move. We could not bend a
finger or turn our eyes. We could not
walk and we could not eat
There are more than $50 muscles in
the human body. and muscle flesh
makes up about 40 per cent of mans
weight.
Take away the muscles and we
cells brain cells and some other parts,
but we should become far more help
lsss than a baby. In fact, death would
occur so swiftly that We could hardly
know what had happened to us. The
throbbing center of our life-the heart
is made of muscle, and without it life
cannot go on.
Neither could we breathe without
muscles. Air comes into the lungs
because the ribs are raised and because
the diaphragm" is lowered, and those
things could not take place without
The use of our muscles.
To some extent we can control the
rate of our breathing, but the beating
OF the heart is beyond the reach of
our will. 1t goes on and on, and does
not ask the reason why.
1t is well that we do not need to
tell the heart to beat Otherwise We
might be absent-minded and forget
about tt.
Most muscles, however. are under
the power Of will. You raise the news
paper so you can read this story, and
the brain is telling your hands and
fingers what to do. When you finish
reading and lay the paper down, it will
be because your brain orders the mus
eles to do that
When we study the muscles We enter
