Sally had a new spring outfit
Of blue. In the store when 1t was
being tried on she could hardly
bear to take the coat or andswas
totally unreasonable about the
sleeves having to be shortened.
They're not too long," she
walled. II want to wear it home"
And the blue straw hat, once on
her head. almost took an act OF
congress to pry loose in order to
have the rubber put on.
Next day they were delivered
and Sally was allowed to put them
on and go out. But curses! The
devil had been at work, and 10
and behold, tere was Kitty-Jo next
door all in tulip red from head to
foot.
Both took one long look and
expressed their individual aversion
to any color but their own. my
mother said she wouldn't think Of
putting red on me-" sneered Sally,
and Kitty-Jo declared that blue
was wishy-washy color nobody
looked at.
Sally Takes It to Heart
Since Sally was blond and
Kitty-Joe very brunette, their re-
spective colors suited them per-
fectly. But they were too little
to know about type.
After a bit they were playing
as though nothing had happened,
and on Kitty-Jo's part all was in
deed forgotten. But when Sally
went in for supper she said sud
denly, II don't like this old blue
stuff. It's wishy-washy. Nobody
sees 1t. like red
Now Sally's mother, knowing
Sally, was afraid of this. Not only
was her child sensitive about
other children's remarks, but she
had habit, once she possessed a
thing, Of soon thinking it worth
less. She had felt that way about
her dolls and her swing and most
of her clothes.
Inferiority, pure and simple. 1t
made her mother furious, because
Sally got almost everything she
wanted, or needed, and there were
SO many children with practically
nothing.
Mother had intended to send
little Stella, out in Kansas, her
brothers child, spring ensem-
BILE, anyway, so this was her
chance. Stella was just sally's
size.
Then Repentance
OF went the new blue hat and
coat. When Sally asked for them
next day they were in the mail.
There were many tears and much
sQuealing ON Sally's part. Her
mother felt miserably guilty but
held out for principle. For two
days she said she would not buy
any more coats and hats.
Sure enough, Sally, eventually
came to her and pleaded: Mama,
I liked my blue hat and coat. I
loved them"
"All right. dear. But think,
first. If you want red or yellow
or green or gray or blue, I'll get
1t. There's just one thing I in
sist on. Whatever you choose,
you must be, contented with. You
are a lucky child to get anything
new at ALL"
ST like blue best Of ALL" sobbed
Sally.
Come one. then. we'll go shop
ping. But after this, stick to your
colors. And learn loyalty to
what's your own"
Sally was too young to under
stand all this, but she learned te
stop belittling her own ego. Ever
grown-ups have the habit of los.
ing respect for anything that be-
longs to them-just because it's
theirs.

It was arranged that she was to

they would go over to the building
ON the East River where DR. Kaye
was to live, in two rooms high
above the turgid stream with its
tugs and doughty streamers plying
their way to New England. After
John had left Katharine called the
number of the riding club.
"That you. Tips?" It's Miss Stryk-

Her heart pounded unaccount-
ably as she waited. The colored

the phone:
"That's all right, Mis- Stryk-

first piece of equipment needed is
shelf on which to set some dry
batteries. If the closet has none,
as in the picture, small shelf may
be built in a rear corner.
Next, get small switch, some
insulated wire, and light socket.
Screw the light socket into the
ceiling or wall where 1t will give
the best illumination. Attach wires
to each binding post of the light
socket and ] ca the shorter wire
batteries on the shelf. With other
pieces of wire connect the inside
terminal of the battery with the
outside terminal of the next bat
terry and so on until they are linked
up 'in SERIES" as electricians say.
Now lead the longer wire down
from the light socket to your
switch and connect it to one of the
switch binding posts. In the same
fashion, lead a wire from the last
battery terminal and attach it to
the remaining binding post of the
switch. Then screw the switch to
the wall, insert an electric bulb
in the light socket and throw on
your switch If your wires are con-
nected firmly, your light will re-
main on until you throw out the
switch.
Be sure your lamp and battery
have the same voltage. If you have
a six-volt lamp, you need to use
four dry batteries connected in
series. If you have a three-volt
lamp, two batteries will be enough.
In other words, just remember that
each battery supplies one and one
half volts, and by connecting the
batteries in series, you add one and
a half volts each time you add an
other battery. Or you can buy six
volt dry battery at an electrical
or hardware store, IL your lamp is
of that voltage, and save yourself
the work of connecting several dry

EAT BEFORE YOU SLEEP


Many wiseacres harbor the NOR
bid notion that it is injurious to
take food at or near bed time.
And so it is, If you're overnour-
ished.
But If you are not already over
fed and underworked, or an actual
victim of some serious disease, II
is generally beneficial in every way
to have a bedtime lunch or in
some circumstances to. take a reg
ular meal just before going to bed
This is sound physiology. It is ma
tural and normal to sleep after q
full meal. Remember, am speak
ing about healthy folk. Invalids, OF
course, must have the advice OF
their physicians about this. If your
arteries and heart are all shot and
there is q possibility of cerebra
thrombosis or a "stroke" from
CLOTHING of the blood in the veins
in the brain from slowing down OF
circulation, it may be as well moi
to go into a snooze right after 9
big meal. But we don't care about
that. We're advising people how
to keep well.
1t would be too trite to say that
the bedtime meal must include
only wholesome and easily digest
ibfe things. / think you laymen
are pretty dumb but don't think
YOU would knowingly eat anything
unwholesome, either at bedtime or
any other times. And as for food
which is easily digestible"-
that's the old hokum bunkem; the
only question is, do you like 1t, and
does it appeal to your appetite? II
SO, it is at least as easily digestible
for you as would be any other item
which you do mt like SO well.
Probably one reason for the
common notion that bedtime eat
ing is unwise Is the experience OF
persons who indulge in superhuous
and unnecessary food late at night,
highly seasoned dishes calculated
to appeal to an already satiated APP
petite, or things easily swallowed
even though one be not hungry.
Then, too, these Incorporate indul-
gences are likely to be accompan-
led with more or less alcohol and
tobacco and artificial excitement,
all of which tends to destroy sleep,
and the sinner attributes the Ill eff
fects to the "late supper.
The ideal bedtime snack for an
underweight frail young person
who hasn't SUFFICIENT vitality con-
sists of a pint. more or less, Of pure
fresh milk, preferably raw (if Ger
tilted Milk or Grade A Raw from
tested herd is available)
with bread or crackers or cookies
or cake or pie. The milk may be
taken cold, warm or hot as pre-
ferred, and both the milk and the
bread or other item should be taxi
en- leisurely, never gulped down In
haste. If the appetite is capable OF
1t, by all means butter the bread,
crackers, cookies, cake or dough-
nuts, and for that matter add aa

center of the stage. Watch closely as
he lurches through the air-a human
cannon ball!"
With lips half parted and eyes wide,
the audience at the Washington circus
grounds waited for the human can
non ball.
LIE CAME, wearing helmet and
a pair of thickly padded overalls
He climbed out to the mouth of the
cannon and hesitated while a shiver of
excitement swept the audience. He
swung himself up and slid into the
mouth of the cannon.
The muZZle of the cannon slowly
swung upward. wavered, stopped.
Every one waited tensely and then
there was a booming roar. Jean du
Jean sailed in a graceful arch, landed
in the net, bounced around. crawled
out, staggered around a little and
numbered off to the applause Of the
audience.
1t was sweaty and hot in the dress
ing room. and Pete Huffer peeled off
the helmet and padded overalls he
wore when he played the part of Jean
du Jean, death-defying daredevil, who
was shot out of cannon.
Joe, the dog-faced clown, who had
been an old schoolmate of Pete's, had
got Pete the job. 1t was S. a day,
$3.50 for each time he was shot out
of the cannon, and there wasn't any,
thing really dangerous about it. You
just stuffed cotton in your ears. got
into your uniform, put on the act as
you climbed into the cannon and
then stood with your mind complete
blank waiting to be hurtled into the
net.
"One thing I don't like about this
job" said Pete as he pulled on his
trousers 1T upSets your stomach" p"
'Aw, that's nothing. All these cir
Gus jobs do that at first. You'll get
used to it."
Yah. if I don't starve to death
first" Pete returned.
X X X
pETE sauntered away from the
circus grounds and through the
business section. He was hungry and
yet he didn't feel like eating. He was
walking down a street toward Penn
Sylvania avenue and he saw little
restaurant
He might have passed that one by,
too, except there was waitress stand
ing up front She had red hair all
fluffed around her pink face and was
just the kind of girl that always had a
big appeal for Pete. So he went into
the restaurant.
He ordered, and somehow. looking
at the waitress, his appetite returned
and he felt good.

| the circus they shot out of cannon
and called Jean du Jean. At first she
wouldn't believe him. But when he
promised her pass, she agreed to
come and see his act. And she did.
"VOU sure did it, said Margot, the
waitress, as Pete went walking
with her after the circus.
Il want you to come to see me lot
of times. 1t gets better as it goes
along" Pete promised.
So it got to be pretty regular habit
with Margot Almost nightly she went
to the circus to see Pete. And after
the circus they went walking through
the park. And one night Pete kissed
her
'Oh, you shouldn't have done that"
said Margot.
"Aw, heck, why not?" asked Pete.
Well, you shouldn't have done it
right now, anyway, because I was 60
ing to tell You I can't see you after to-
night. You see, my boy friend is COM
ing back tomorrow. He's a sailor"
Your boy friend! So you just been
playing me for passes to the circus,
huh? Well. you can't throw me
down"
Why can't T."
We'll, if you do throw me over I'll
commit suicide, will. III get into

said Margot simply.
THE next day, after the barker had
made his announcement. Pete
came to the mouth of the cannon. He
hesitated and there was even greater
tension in the air than usual Then.
pulling himself up, he slid head first
into the cannon.
Maybe the one who shot the cannon
did not notice it. or maybe he did. but
in few minutes there was the deafen-
sailing, feet first, through the air. He
landed in the net, bounced around,
crawled out and strobe dizzily away to
he wild applause of the audience.
boy, you're good!" shouted the
manager of the circus to Pete five min
utes later. I'm going to give you a
buck and half day more. Say, !
can bill you as the only man living who
goes into the cannon head first. Say.
where did you get that idea? I didn't
think you had it in you!"
"Aw. I got lots of ideas" said Pete.
His stomach was all upset. And it
wasn't like old times. d.. He couldn't
go to see Margot with that lor-boy
friend of hers hanging around.
