Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.

into trouble themselves or getting
their elders into trouble. II that fel-
low stays around Reddy Fox will soon
find out that he Is here and then he
will hang around a lot more than he
does now"
BY listening he could follow the
progress of that chase almost as well
as II he were watching 1t. He knew
all Rabbit tricks and by the way
Bowser barked Old Jed could tell just
what trick wigglenose had tried.
Grudgingly he admitted to himself
that that youngster was smarter than
most young Rabbits Of his age. He
was making Bowser work and work
hard to puzzle out that trail.
He made himself comfortable among
the brambles. There was not enough
of them to afford him real protection,
but they partly hid him and he didn't
feel the need of protection just then.
If that Dog came that way he would
be so busy following that aral that
he wouldn't notice any one, even II ne
passed close.
For some little time now Bowser
had been working around one locality
II was where Wigglenose had mixed
his trail and it took patience and time
TO work it out. But at last there was
a roar of exultation in the great voice
and Old Jed knew that Bowser was
once more on a fresh trail
Hes coming this way, muttered
Old Jed. THAT silly young Rabbit
should know better than to come over
here in my part Of the Old Pasture.
If ever / catch him I'll teach him not
to do a thing like that again. 1t Is
very annoying"
Suddenly there was rush, a brown
figure dashed straight in among those
hrambles and leaped fairly over Old
Jed. kicking him as it passed. The
instant he recovered from his surprise
he was filled with such rage that ne
forgot everything else and bounded
after the fleeing Wigglenose, which
was just what the latter hoped ne
would do. That cross old Rabbit was
now between him and Bowser and It
would be his trail that Bowser would
pick up as soon he reached those
brambles.
Old Jed Thumper realized this when
it was too late. Bowser plunged
through those brsmbles and was COM
ing fast, bsying as fast as he could
give tongue. Wigglenose made a long
| leap off to one side and did it so sud-
denly that Old Jed couldn't follow
him and had to keep on. And now
Bowser was on his trail and his only.
He had been tricked. tricked into
changing of with Wigglenose, and
there was nothing he could do about
/ it but run.
Now Old Jed was big and heavy.
Moreover. he had Just eaten heartily.
He was in no condition to run far. So
he did the only thing he could do, and
he did 1t much against his will; he
made straight for his home bramble-
| tangle, into which he knew that Bow
ser couldn't force his way.
Meanwhile Wigglenose, after resting
bit and getting his breath, made for
home as fast as he could go. 1T
worked" he chuckled triumphantly.
1T worked! I made the old fellow
change of with me and now am rid
of that Dog"
If Wigglenose thought that was q
new trick Of his own invention he was
! mistaken. 1t vas an old trick. but 1t
/ had worked just as well as II 1t had
been a new one.

fieiency in the natural oil caused
by the drying effects of sun and wind.
Face, neck, arms. shoulders, which
are going to be exposed. should be
well covered with suitable iubricat-
ing cream and busted over with a
face powder of the right shade.
Swimmers, tennis players and other
outdoor enthusiasts should be careful
to protect their skins with n facial
cream and powder If they wish to
preserve the color and texture of
their compilations during the sum-
mer months.
Use a good brand OF face cream,
skin lotion or skin balm before dust
ing with face powder. Almond and
honey or cucumber lotion is excellent
to use for soothing and cooling the
skin after an outing In the sun. Avoid
soap-andwater washing, but cleanse
with a hquefying cream or oil. Leave
1t on the skin for several minutes
and remove with tissues. Then pat
on soothing skin lotion and allow 1t
to dry on the skin.
The following will be found excel
lent for hot, burning skin, after being
exposed to the hot sun: Two drains

The Old Gardener Says:

The lower buds op a spike Of
gladiolus begin to open first.
When one or two fiorets are
fully open, 1t is the best time to
cut the spike for home decora-
ton. Spikes should not be cut
close to the ground, If the bulbs
are to be kept for planting
another year. At least four
leaves should be left for ripening
the bulbs and bulblets. This is
very important. The spikes can
be cut any time during the day,
but it is somewhat better to cut
them in the cool morning or
evening than in the middle of
the hot day, when there is a
tendency for the plant to wilt,
because Of the loss Of more
moisture than can be supplied
from the roots.

Kingfsh.

Kingfsh.
T@HIS is the descendant OF the
original kingfish. From all ac-
counts dis ancestors were all
l. ean1ey creatures and put up a
grand fight rather than be
captured.
At one time, along the Southern
New England coast, many pounds Of
kingfish were taken, and in 1880
10 600 pounds were recorded for Rhode
Island. Since that time, they have
SO diminished that rarely ever is one
seen there.
True kingfishing Is to be had now
in Florida. North Carolina is another
State where they may be considered
important.
In order to go after these beauties
and be well-equipped to handle them,
you must have seaworthy power
boat. Those with sleeping accomno-
dations are, of course, first choice.
There must be supply of cotton
trolling lines, wire leaders and metal
suuid hooks. The bait used is white
strips cut from the belly of the first
kingfish you catch and the remainder
of the kingfish can be used as bait for
other fish.
1t takes two fishermen to go after
kingfish right One man must handle
the boat while the other fishes. Troll
lines may be put out, too. When the
fishes are running good, several hours
of hauling in begin to be work, and
muscles have a way of getting tired.
You may expect to haul in kinghshes
weighing to 40 pounds. Expectancy
for the maximum weight lends excite
ment to every catch.
Generally these fishes travel in
schools. They feed on crabs, various
shrimps and other crustaceans. They
love to go along the sandy bottom and
hunt for mollusks, worms and young
fish.
Kingfshes bite readily. Do they
fight when they find they have been
caught? Sportsmen claim that this
fish almost talks in his chagrin at
being fooled by bait.
One thing has to be taken into con-
sideration when you go on real king
fish trip-that these fishes die quickly.
Some provision must be made to keep
well for large boat or ice for a
smaller one.
Kingf1shes spawn in bays and
sounds from June until August. The
temperature of the water has much to
do with the time of Matching or if it
is cold. the eggs are not able to survive
the chilling. 1t is about 46 hours in
the correct temperature of about &c.
The eggs are buoyant When the
larvae hatch they float inverted. AS
the yolk of the egg shrinks, they as
sumo a natural position. When the
baby kingfish is about four days old
the yolk of the egg is wholly absorbed
and the infants mouth is formed. The
little babies have three vertical bands
of black and gold pigment cells. AS
they grow older they soon assume the

Canada Sends a Host of

0NTOw don't tell me there is
Lone Star quilt of quite an
other pattern. I know what it Is
and / know that 1t is often called
the Lone Star Of Texas or the
Blazing Star or the 'Sunburst,' But
this quilt I call by its name be-
cause it consists of q host of lone
stars all surrounded by twinkling
hexagons that are stars gone plump
or stars with their points cut OF.
The block comes from Pickering,
Ontario. Elizabeth Judd, who sends
the pattern, asks me to tell the Nancy
Page Quilt Club members that this
pattern is at least rs years old"
Her quilt, using this pattern, Is
made in all-over fashion. The star
shown here starts in the center of
the quilt. It is surrounded, as you
And they, in turn, join onto another
lone star, and so on and on. To
make the quilt longer than wide, 1t
is necessary to build up additional
units at both ends.
Nancy suggested that her club
members follow the usual procedure.
First, send for the pattern sheet: Sec
ond, cut the picture and directions
from the paper and paste it in the
Nancy Page Quilt Club scrap book.
This pattern does not allow for
seams. Therefore, when cutting the
goods, be sure to allow an extra
quarter inch on all sides. This Is
taken up when the pieces are scanned
together.
Nancy thinks you will like the
quilt best If you use the same ma
terial for all the stars, varying the
pieces in the hexagon blocks. The
finished quilt is 106 inches long, If
it is made to go over the pillows. SO

should give the face pro-
H. lection against the powerful
rays. While we all agree
that the sun has health-giving prop
critics, which are necessary for our
systems, we know also that it can do
q great deal of damage TO the skin
of the face, neck and hands and the
hair.
It affects the skin In three ways.
First it makes 1t dry, causing shrivel-
ing and coarsening of the texture of
the skin. which is not properly pro-
tected. This parched condition paves
the way for premature wrinkles,
which, as we all know, are hard to
get rid of. An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure-particularly
when preventive measures are so
simple.
Second. The suns rays stimulate
the pigment to such an extent that
the color of the skin undergoes va
rious changes. A few fortunate women
have thick skins which come through
this experience with an attractive
mellow tan, but most Of us become red,
Huuuy ufoWHf IIcCkAcu oI else Our
compilations take on a purplish,
weather beaten look.
Last, but not least, is the actual
physical suffering which can be
caused by a sun-scorched skin and
the time that it takes afterward to
bring it back to normal.
But how can all this be avoided?
Simply by taking precautions for pre-
venting both shriyeling and discom-
fort caused by injudicious exposure
to the suns rays.

Warships had turrets from IS to 20

Everyday Psychology
BY JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Pretenses.

MOST minds are equipped with pre-
lenses. II this were not true We
would find it much harder to get along
with our civilization.
Beneath the thin gauze of pretense
We look out upon the world about US
Thus shielded from our harsh realities
by the coloraticn of pretense, We are
able TO save our egos from impending
insult or even disaster. Pretenses are
valuable
No one should speak slightingly of
pretenses. They represent goals of
achievement, sometimes broadening
into the veriest Of high ideals. Every
philosophy Of life, every ambition and
much of the honesty of the world is
guided and sustained by our attempts
TO portray ourselves as other than we
are.
Another thing: When our stock Of
pretenses runs low our minds begin
to falter know Of no better recipe
for mental health than the art of
creating imaginary situations that
absorb the vexing disillusionments of
a competitive existence. And SO we
move along with the comforting feel
ing that We may yet be better than
We are.
