before Winter sets in. hope you two
will find one to suit you and get
settled. I know of no better place.
In fact, I know Of none as good. No
matter what the weather is, we will
be snug and comfortable here and al
ways have plenty to eat, without hav-
ing to run any risk getting it. What
more could any Mouse ask?'
Absolute safety" spoke up Nanny.
But. my dear. what safer place
could you ask for than this apartment
where we are this very minute?" de-
manded Mrs. Short-tail.
1T is all right now," admitted
Nanny. But supposing those two
legged creatures who built it should
take it away again. What them"
"Oh. but they won't do that! You
don't think they will. do you?" cried
Mrs. Short-tail in something like dis
may.
I've known them to do such a
thing" replied Nanny. In fact.
Danny and I were living in just such
an apartment at the time. I've never
felt really safe in one since"
That may have happened once,
but don't believe it will ever happen
again." squeaked Mrs. Short-tail.
Perhaps it won't" replied Nanny
Let us hope it won't. Just the same,
I doubt that I ever could feel really
easy in one again. Danny and I are
going to look around before we de-
eide on home"
you'll end up by moving into one
of these apartments. Just you mark
my words" declared Mrs. Short-tail.
You won't be able to resist them,
even if you want to. They are the
most perfect Mouse apartments have

So" said Nanny. Come on, Danny,
and we will look the place over"

enticingly placed for choice fish that
the fishermen do not want to have
thing to do with them, much less eat
them.
From June to September sea robins
spawn about Woods Hole. July and
August being the height of the
spawning season. The eggs are buoy
ant, slightly lemon colored, and have
from 10 to Is oil globules of unequal
size arranged around them in ring.
These make it possible for the egg to
float. In water that is about 72 de-
grees the eggs will hatch in so hours.
The young robins are very small.
There are two transverse yellow
bands, one close behind the pectoral
fin and the other between vent and
tails In five days the yolk has been
absorbed, the mouth has formed and
the yellow markings are gone Each
day sees the little robin taking on
the form of its parents.
When it is fully grown it may be
about 16 inches long. Some of its

Winter Carb
BY ANGELO PATRI.

WINTER cold brings out the
heavy overcoats and sweaters
which no child enjoys wearing. They
restrict movement, they are heavy,
they take time and effort to put on
and take off and care for. The school
lockers are usually small and one
heavy garment about fills them. The
things are clumsy. These and MANY
more reasons the children think up
when mother takes the Winter gar
ments from their bags and they bring
on the annual discussion.
I'VE don't need them"
"Of course you need them. Want
to take cold? This is Winter, remem-
her."
The warm wraps are needed. of
course. have never known a child
to refuse to wear a warm coat or
sweater if the temperature demanded
it. Mothers rarely consult the ther-
mometer when they lay out the cloth
ing to be worn for the day. Winter
and overcoats, Winter and heavy
sweaters. Why discuss it?
If every day of Winter was arctic.
then there would be no need for
thought about what to wear. The
warm garments would be used without
word OF objection. Warm DAYS do
happen along every once in a while
The sunshine of middle morning is
warm. The active children are soon
overheated and away goes the sweater
or the overcoat. They wear no wrap
at all. and this when they are perspir-
ing.
The usual school room is heated to
about 10 degrees. Sometimes they are
warmer than that. Children dressed
by anxious mothers wear woolen
sweaters over their Winter clothing
Soon they are restless. heavy-eyed, in
attentive and drowsy. The teacher
opens the windows and calls for exer-
cises to smarter them up. For few
minutes they respond and then sink
back into sodden listlessness.
Take off your sweaters and hang
them in the wardrobe" commands the
teacher
1000, We can't. Mother said we
must wear them"
How pleased they are to have such
justification against the teacher who
has been pestering them to work
against the grain all morning.
Mothers will come closer to what
they want to accomplish if they con-
suit the thermometer before selecting
the outer clothing for the school child.
They will come closer to making the
children comfortable if they follow
the thermometer than if they follow
their own feelings about the tempera-
ture The thermometer has no emo
tional concern as to what the children
shall wear. 1t records the tempera-
ture impersonally and correctly. By
following its pointing finger many of
the troublesome questions about what
to wear and what not to wear can be
settled right, and without friction. The
children will look at the thermometer
and say: "Whee, down to %. Where's
my heavy sweater, ma?"
Dressing by the temperature will
help out at school. When mothers
know that the children are to sit in a
heated room they will not ask the
children to put on clothing intended
for outdoor zero weather. They will
allow them to wear sufficient clothing
to maintain them in bodily comfort
and mental ease. When children are
conscious of the temperature of their
bodies they are not doing good work
in class. The thermometer is friend
in need to teachers and parents-and
children.

the queen of diamonds and forced to
lead clubs. which the declarer could
ruff in his own hand. discarding a
losing diamond from dummy.
South could see all this, too. BY
this time he was virtually certain
that his partner held the ace of dia-
monds The only question was-did
he hold the ace. jack? After a little
sober reflection, South discovered
that it would be just as good if North
held the ace and ten of diamonds,
therefore he exited gracefully with
the queen of diamonds, hoping de-
voutly that North would not play him
for the queen, jack. North didn't. He
obediently ducked the trick, and, as
a result, West had to lose two dia-
mond tricks as we'll as the heart. Re-
suit: Down one. And South asked
North why he hadn't doubled.

Harps of Old.
THE twang of a bowstring may be

THE twang of a bowstring may be
= called musical. and it is believed
that the pleasure of hearing the sound
led to the invention of the harp and
the Tyre.
Whether this idea is correct or
not, we know that harps date back
thousand of years, and that they then
looked very much like huge bows
Egypt, great old Egypt, has left us
pictures of harps which were used
there before the reign of Rameses III,
and images of harplike instruments
have been found amid the remains
of Babylonia.
Many Egyptian harps we're of large
size, some having a height of to 7
feet, and being fitted with 20 or more
strings Both men and women played
on harpS.
Large harps of the Egyptian style
were known to the ancient Greeks
and Romans, but they favored the
smaller instrument known as Tyre" I"
HarpS came into wide use in Ire
land. Scotland and Wales during the
Middle Ages. Family harps were
passed down from generation to gen.
Grafton. A law was made in Wales
that no matter what else might be
seized for debt, the harp could not
be taken away.
The harp music Of the Irish be-
came famous, and probably dates
back even before the start of the
Middle Ages. Writing 750 years ago.
a Welsh monk declared
They (the Irish are far more
skillfull than any other nation !.
their manner of playing is not slow
and harsh, but lively and rapid, while
the melody is both sweet and
pleasing"
Harps still have a place in the
musical world, though they are not
so often used as in olden times. The
modern harp, as rule, has As strings.

Although this fish Is edible and its

very good table fish in Europe, you
cannot sell the robin in America.
Possibly this is because his habits are

extirpated. And what guarantee can
we have that these same conditions
will not attack the remaining kidney?
And we must have at least one kidney!
Remove the causes that produced
the surgical kidney, and the body will
soon make of this a normal kidney.
This is not theory. 1t has been
demonstrated many, many times, and
till such demonstration breaks down
at least once, I am sure I can be ex-
cused for stating the proposition as
fact Remove the cause and the
body at once sets in to produce cure.
Every abscess is merely the body's
effort to remove from its tissues some
extraneous material that has failed to
find its way out through the normal
eliminative channels, just as abscess
removes a splinter from finger.
This realization of pus conditions
is vital.
