Bedtime Stories
The Fight That Slimlegs Saw.

Once Lightfoot's hindfeet slipped and
hts enemy was quick to take advan-
taee of him. He pushed Lightfoot
backward and Slimlegs felt his heart
sink. Could it be that his father
was to be defeated? Could it be that
his father, whom he admired so. was
to be driven from the Green Forest
instead Of the stranger?
Then Lightfoot regained his footing
and this time it was the stranger who
was pushed back He was pushed
back little by little until he was
pushed almost into the thicket where
Slimlegs and his mother were. Mrs
Lghtfoot bounded out and Slimlegs
followed her
The two fighters were painting and
snorting and their tongues hung ou,
as they strained and pushed and tried
to twist each others necks. First one
then the other, would seem to have
the advantage. The ground all about
was torn up by their feet. As yet
neither had succeeded in hurting the
other. You see, they were evenly
matched. There were times when. as
If by common consent, they stopped
struggling and stood cad to head for
moments rest to get their breath
Then the struggle would be resumed.
What were Mrs. Lightfoot's feel
ings? Who can say? She had wit
messed just such battles before. They
we're battles for her favor, just as was
this one. 1t was thrilling to be fought
over like this. 1t gave her a feeling
Of Importance. She knew that she
would go with whichever won. That
was the law Of the Green Forest. Per-
haps In the excitement she had nc
real choice. AS for Slimlegs, he
couldn't bear even to think of such
thing as seeing Lightfoot defeated
For long, long time the two great
Deer fought. They fought until both
were weary, so weary that they had
little strength left. Then, in a sudden
squirt, Lightfoot forced the other back
and he tripped over a log and fell
Yes. sir. he fell. Lightfoot thrust a,
him with his antlers. A point tore the
skin of one shoulder and then the
other was on his feet and had leaped
aside. He was defeated and he knew
he was defeated. He turned and made
off through the woods. never once
looking back. The great fight was
over.
Mrs. Lightfoot gave a long sigh
I'm glad" said she. that your father
won.' And Slimlegs was glad too.

on a low shrub or bush, but most
OF the time on the ground, in a
secluded spot as inconspicuous as
possible, and usually containing three
to five pinkish-white eggs. blotched,

sharp hoofs of their forefeet they
paved the ground. Their heads were
lowered so that the sharp points Of
their great antlers pointed toward
each other. AS if by common impulse
they suddenly dashed at each other.
There was a great clash as the antlers
met, a clash that rang through the
Green Forest.
Peering out from a thicket near by
were Slimlegs, the small son Of Light
foot, and his mother. Mrs. Lightfoot.
Slimlegs fairly danced with excite
ment. His soft eyes were very wide.
He had never seen anything like this
before. He had never dreamed of
such sight. He had not even known
what those great antlers on his
fathers head were for. Now he under
stood. He saw his father straining
every muscle as he pushed and showed
and he saw the strange Deer doing
exactly the same thing.
They did not separate. They did
not draw back and lunge at each
other again. Their antlers looked as
if they were locked together. but they
were not. Now and then, when they
were free for an instant. one or the
other would slash sidewise in an effort
to drive the points into his enemy.

LOAN EXTENSIONS
MILLION IN WEEK
r. H. A. Offices in 8 States
Show How Funds Are
Used in Business.

Applications for more than mil
loans insurable under the amended
national housing act were reported
during the past week from Federal
Housing Administration offices in
eight States, it was announced to-
day by Stewart Mcdonald, Federal
housing administrator.
New Jersey, with total of $414.-

Arkansas. $4,000; Montana, SAL 900,
and North Dakota, 100000. Total
applications reached Sl,086,500.
Analysis of the loans showed both
structural changes and equipment
about equally distributed. A brewing
plant in New Jersey has applied for a
$4,000 loan with which to purchase
new equipment. A construction COM
pany in New Jersey has applied for a
S25 1000 loan for the purpose of en-
larging its present plant.

Gold Bronze Gives Richness

A very effective use Of q little gold
bronze to give richness to a color
scheme was noted recently on some
holdings forming wall panels. The
panels and holdings were both painted
in the same soft, gray-green. Before
the paint was put on the holdings,
however. strip of dull gold bronze
was run on the outside edge of the
holdings about three-quarters of an
inch wide. When dry, the green paint
was brushed down over the gold edge
with a careless wigsle, allowing about
one-half inch Of the gold bronze to
remain exposed. To make 1t even
more effective, pure gold leaf may be
employed.

they get tossed out of the Stork Club, too. Tell

Moreover, common citizens gathered in the Stock

money at his social register cast of singers and

considering that he generally used his own boat to
go where the grouse are. 1t seems most extrav-

pinch, the same results could be achieved for

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

THE peculiar greenish yellow appearance you may
Il notice on the skins of some persons is caused
in most cases by jaundice, discoloration Of the
tissues of the body by bile.
The scientific term for this condition is icterus.
It is derived from Greek word referring to a GER
tain kind Of weasel whose eyes :e yellow.
The bile gets into the blood from the gallbladder
or liver and is then deposited by the blood in the
tissues Ordinarily the bile passes from the gall
bladder into the ntestines and is passed out Of the
body.
There are many different causes of jaundice.
Anything which stops the bile passages will cause
the bile to reabsorb into the blood If too much
blood is destroyed in the tissues of the body, too
much bile pigment is let loose in the blood stream
IF the liver cells are greatly damaged by in1am-
i nation or infection, the function Of the liver
is interfered with and bile gets into the blood.
Some forms of jaundice, caused by changes IN
the functions of the body, interfere with the usual
working of the mechanism for taking Of blood
that is destroyed and for developing bile
Then, too, there may be many different causes
associated with blocking of the bile passages. 1t
may be caused by gladstone, by an Inflammation
resulting from any of number Of different in
fections, by tumors which press on the bile pas
sages and by parasites Of various kinds.
THERE are also certain diseases of the body af-
i fecting the blood-forming organs, such as per-
nicious anemia and such infections as malaria and
black water fever which destroy blood so rapidly
that jaundice results
Jaundice sometimes is seen after blood trans
fusion when the bloods are not properly mated.
1t is we'll known that certain posons ike cnloro-
form arsenic and phosphorus are particularly dam

substances. jaundics not infreQuenty occurs

Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ-

WORLD Of sounds. inaudible to the human
~ ear. exists around us. Its existence has been
proved by Prof George w. Pierce Of the CrIft Labo
ratory OF Harvard University.
Working with ingenius radio apparatus, Prof.
Pierce and his assistants have picked up the noises
Of insects which have high frequency that they
are inaudible TO the human ear This apparatus, by
means Of the heterOdyne principle. transpoSes the
sounds TO a lower wavelength. thus making them
audible to the human in the loudspeaker.
The pitch Of sound is the result of the number
of vibrations second of the sound causing it.
The higher the pitch. the higher the frequency
number OF vibrations a second. The human will
not respond to vibrations of more than $4,000
second.
r. for example a vibrating reed is used to pro-
duce sounds when the vibrations pass this number
no sound is heard any more. Observers have often
noticed also that when humming bird is singing
the notes finally set so high in pitch that they are no
longer heard.
Prof Pierce's work has been carried on chiefly
with a common field cricket about one-third the size
OF the house cricket II Is small. dark brown crea
ture known scientifically as Nemobius Fasciatus.
TINE sound detector attached to Prof. Pierce's
Il apparatus is delicate that it will pick up the
sound Of cricket 200 yards away.
This field cricket sings in unbroken trills, some Of
them lasting five minutes without pause. The fire.
Quency is 5000 vibrations second This is approx
mately five octaves above middle on the piano,
and OF course is audible 10 the human ear.
The apparatus. however reveals that there are
cur at vibrations Of 1900 $4,000 and $4,000 second
DROF PIERCE has also undertaken the study of
il certain bird noises. He finds that newly Matched
robins sing their loudeSt at a frequency Of $4,000
vibrations second very close TO the limit Of human
audibility Blackpon warhers also sing at about
5000 vibrations second.
most interesting feature Of his study is that he
has found many unsupported sources of these
tremely hgh-frequency sounds supersonic noises"
as they are sometimes called
For example. leaves vibrating in the wind generate
such sound waves A freshly ignted match likewise
generates them The rubbing Of clothing also causes
them.
surprising discovery is the ability Of these
supersonic noises 10 travel through the air. Thus
Prof Pierce finds that the ticking OF watch includes
hsrmonics with frequencies Of 10000 vibrations
second His apparatus Is able to detect these vibra
tons at a distance Of 30 feet.
