THE RED GERANIUM

Only red geranium.
Humble and unassuming,-
Scorned by the lily and the rose
In a florists window, blooming.
It's CHEEKY color caught the eye
Of a girl, one gloomy day,
And leaving a silver coin behind,
She carried the plant away.
Only a red geranium
On window sill, abloom,
Shedding an air of cheerfulness
Ger poor and shabby room.
To the heart of the lonely invalid,
In a wheel chair, day by day,
It brought breath of the out of door:
With it's blossoms, bright and gay.
1t envied not the fragrant rose,
Or the lily, fair and tall,
Nor cared that they shed their rich

ooh, I CAN'T wear stripes!" you
often hear women say, when defect
able styles in brilliant designs are
shown them. They are wrong. Any
woman can wear stripes, of some
some. Of course, is she is inclined to
be plump they have to be narrow
stripes running diagonally. Few
women can wear vertical stripes of
any sort. But here we have dress
that combines diagonal and vertical
stripes in a new way: the diagonals
in the skirt are slimming. The colors
of this linen sports dress are brown,
red, yellow and green, and the but
tons are of wood.

A CLASSIFIED AID GETS GOOD RESULTS

Bedtime Stories
The First Lesson.

more trustworthy. are your noses
Never be satisfied with just seeing
and hearing. Try to smell whatever
1t is that you see or hear. A nose is
always to be trusted. Eyes may be
fooled and ears may be deceived, but
what your nose tells you you may be-
lieve."
So day by day the fawns learned
their lesson. Whenever they saw
Mother looking they looked in the
same direction. When they saw
Mothers big ears set to catch some
particular sound, they would set their
ears IN just the same manner and
listen. Whenever they saw Mother
lifting her slender nose to test the
wind for whatever smells 1t might
bring, they lifted their slender noses
and did the same thing. If Mother
was alarmed by anything she saw or
heard or smelled she would give the
danger signal and bound away. OF
course, the fawns would follow her
and, having seen or heard or smelled
the thing that had alarmed their
mother, they learned that this was
something to be afraid Of or to be
distrusted, and remembered it.
1t was astonishing how much they
learned in just little while. Once
as they were going to the pond of
Paddy the Beaver for drink, Mother
stopped abruptly with her ears set
forward. and stared long and hard at
what looked to the twins like a black
stump on the edge of the pond. But
while they looked that stump came
to life and became a big person with
four legs. Mother gave a snort which
mad In 1t something of fear. Then she
led the twins around to a point where
the wind blew from that big black
stranger straight to them. 1t brought
a strange scent. disagreeable scent.
a scent that somehow sent little shiv-
ers along their backbones. 1t was a
scent which would have filled them
with fear, even had they not known
from Mother Deers actions that this
stranger was to be feared. Thus it
was they first learned of Buster Bear.
ANY smell that gives you an un-
easy feeling means that the cause of
IL Is to be distrusted," explained
Mother Deer. If you can. always try
to see the cause of any odor you dis
trust. You just saw Buster Bear.
NOW, II you see him again you will
recognize him, and even if the wind
is away from you. so that you cam
not smell him, you will know that it
is not safe to go near him. Never
forget the Bear smell or what Buster
looks like"
I'VE won't" promised the twins.

among the bush jungles and the free
dom to banquet on roofs during the
night. However, Aeliani is no cow
ard and when the need to fight
presents itself there is no question
but that he puts his heart and soul
into the fray. At this time his tail is
held erect. the tuft vibrating quite
vigorously, clearly indicating the COM
batant's state of mind.
When you are jungle exploring in
the eastern part of Africa, and even
as far north as Abyssinia, 1t is Aeliani
you will meet. but if you happen to
be in the southeastern part, the
chances are you will meet his cousin
Pallas. There are only two species of
Wart hogs. Both are natives of Africa.
Pallas is the longer-headed one. His
wartr' are pendent AMI swing from

cousin pictured here project instead.
Aeliani also has far more hair and

As their food consists mostly OF
roots to be found in their native

need be, to protect themselves.

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE WORKS

The first month Of the new Con-
gress disposes of any doubt about
the question of continuing the. Roos-
evelt new deal policies.
The Federal aid projects are to go
on for another year and very likely
they will continued beyond the next
Presidential election when the vot-
ers will have another opportunity to
issue fresh mandate.
Congress has disagreed with the
President on the details Of this pro-
gram, especially as to whether the
Government should pay the NRA
and the private industries the pre-
vailing rate Of wages or cut down
the rate Of compensation to a point
where working for the Government
would not be as attractive as work
ing for private concerns and COR
porations. The President believes
that work-relief benefieiaries who
receive a small rate Of pay will
thereby be encouraged to return to
private employment.
