Little Benny
BY LEE PAPE.

CHORTY Judge and Glasses Magee
had a fearse argewment almost
ending in a fite this afternoon, max
ing fists and faces at each other but
not quite hitting each other on ac-
count of both having doubts about
the consequences. and us other fel-
lows was jumping around them and
encouraging them, yelling, Go ahead
and soak him one, Shorty, whose he
think he is, whose he think you are,
are you going to take that of Of him.
Glasses. good mite Shorty, don't take
that off anybody, thatta boy Shorty,
thatta boy, Glasses, show him who he
thinks he's tawking to, Glasses, that's
telling him Shorty, poke him one,
Glasses. give him one in the snoot,
Shorty.
Wich neither of them didn't, and
just then man with a little poodle
dog stopped going passed, saying,
Well, well, what's all this, well. well,
boys.
Meening the fite, and he leened
over and patted Glasses and Shorty
on the head, saying, Come, come, I'm
sure 2 such nice looking little boys
cant feel so bludthersty as all that.
Now let me see you shake hands like
good little sports and peace loving
citizens, he said.
Wich Shorty and Glasses did look
ing glad of the excuse, and the man
said, Now you see, boys, with a few
kind werds I've pored oil on the
troubled waters and spared you all a
paneful site.
And he kept on going with his little
poodle dog, Skinny Martin saying,
Darn that guy, he must think he's
the Ligg of Nations butting in and
spelling everybody's fun. Hay, what's
you say we get the Crosses cat and
head that guy off and push the cat
around a corner at his funny looking
dog? he said.
The Crosses cat being famous dog
chaser, and everybody thawt it was
q CRATE ideer including Glasses, Magee
and Shorty Judge, only the Crosses
cat happened to be out, so the ony
fun we had from the ideer was the
pleasure of thinking of it.

be So" said Downy. Il didn't sup
pose Spite was afraid of anybody He
Is so much at home in trees that it
is no trouble at all for him to keep
out of the way of Buster Bear and
Yowler the Bobcat so he isn't really
afraid of them. I really can't imagine
that fellow afraid Of anybody, be-
cause 1t is so easy for him to keep
out of their way"
We'll, it isn't easy for him to keep
out of the way of his cousin, Pekan
the Fisher, If the latter once sees him
and there is no hole small enough
near" replied Ladderback Pekan can
outrun him on the ground, travel
faster than he can through the tree
tops and outleap him. Spite has just
one chance when Pekan is after him,
and that one chance is to get through
hole that is just big enough for
him to get through. Then he will be
sure that 1t will be too small for
Pekan to follow him. When he sus-
poets that Pekan is about Spite keeps
close to his home AS I said before,
Chatterer the Red Squirrel is no more
frightened when Spite is after him
than Spite is when Pekan is after
him A bad neighbor to have around
is that Pekan. Yes. sir, bad neigh
bor to have around"
well, I'm glad he doesn't live
around here" said Downy.
1T wouldn't make much difference
to you if he did, just as it doesn't
make much difference to me when
am back there at home where he does
live" replied Ladderback But it
would make a lot of difference to
most of the people here who wear fur
and few who wear feathers, such as
Mrs. Grouse"
II know one it wouldn't make any
difference to-" declared Downy.
"Of course, you mean Buster Bear"
guessed Ladderback.
Wrong" cried Downy
"Yowler the Bobcat," guessed Lad
derback.
Wrong again." cried Downy. "Of
| course, it wouldn't make much diff
ference to them, but I didn't have
either of them in mind
Who did you have? I give up" re-
piled Ladderback
"Prickly Porky the Porcupine!" cried
Downy.
Ladderback chuckled: That is
where you are wrong" declared he.
1T would make more difference to
him than to any one else can think
Of"
Downy stared at his cousin as II he
thought the latter was joking. What
possible difference could Pekan's being
here make to that prickly fellow" he
demanded
"Pekan happens to be rather fond
of Porcupine, replied Ladderback.
Fond in what way? You don't
mean to eat, do you?" asked Downy.
Ladderback nodded vigorously.
THAT is exactly what I mean" said
he. When Pekan finds a Porcupine
he finds a dinner"
You're joking, Cousin Ladderback.
You're joking. know you are" re-
piled Downy. Why, nobody could
make a dinner of Prickly Porky. No.

about, beating the pillows. the unwel-
come bed beneath her. But she could
not. She could only lie pressing her
fingers into the palms Of her hands,
her body burning with this new ha-
tired and despair.
What was she going to do about
it? She didn't know; but she was
going to do something. For one thing
she was going to give up the idea Of
being a model mother.
She would give up her friends! She
would play the martyr. She would stay
scrub and cook and become hard and
Indifferent to all the beauty in life.
She would hand down the children's
clothes until there was nothing left Of
them. She would patch and lengthen
and remodel so that one suit, no
matter how badly it looked, lasted for
years. She would dress them in dark
blues and earthly browns. something
cheap and almost unstable. but easy
to wash and iron. And, finally, she
would move them all toward the river,
where rent was low. where other peo-
pie were poor and in possession of
large families, and where she def
nitely now belonged.
Oh. the tragedy of it! Five children
since her marriage to Tom seven years
ago! The first as unwanted now as
the last!
The girl heard a step in the door,
way and turned her head. A nurse
was entering. immaculate and floating
in her white uniform; and in the
curve of each arm she held a baby
wrapped In white blanket. She had
kind, sympathetic dark eyes, the nurse
had, and a smiling mouth. AS she
stood over the bed she said proudly:
There are your babies!" And she
leaned forward the better to show
them off
The girl on the bed said nothing.
She had seen babies before and had
always thought them sweet and pre-
cious. but she had never had occasion
to look at any which she cared less
to see.
LIT. WnlCe says, tne nurse went on
lightly, that these are some of the
finest twins he has had all year! Only
5 pounds apiece. but perfect babies
Look, dear! This is the little grill"
So there was a girl! Secretly she
had wanted one each time she had
known baby was coming
"She has lovely blue eyes," the nurse
said enthusiastically. And isn't her
hair sweet?" The mother looked and
agreed with :. dry nod of the head
that 1t was. But something else had
struck deeply into her Sensibilities
She had forgotten how tiny and help
less baby could be. And a little
girl :! What was there about a
little girl that made you feel she was
something different? Was it true that
YOU had to be so much more careful

My Neighbor Says:

Never allow silver spoons
stained with egg to stand. Put
them into cold water to soak as
soon as they are removed from
the table.
A few drops Of vinegar added
to a frosting will keep 1t moist.
When you use molasses in a
cake, it should always be baked
in q moderate oven, never a very
hot one.
The best way to clean a white
enamel bath is to put a little tur-
pentine in a saucer, get small
cloth and rub the bath all over
with the turpentine, then scrub
well with soap and warm water
No matter how dirty the bath is
the dirt will disappear like magic

Since that time an enormous amount
of research has been done on this
question and such scientists as r. A.

that Einstein is right. Their conclu-

I57I-B
BY BARBARA BELL.

THIS dress is typical OF the in
teresting clothes we must pre-
pare ourselves to wear at the
Il turn of the season. Necklines
are going higher. butterfly
bows are spreading out. and elongated
epaulettes are substituting for sleeves.
The model shown is a perfect FORE
runner of the Summer styles. Un-
mindful of the calendar date, you are
safe in choosing it for one of those
gay cottons, blooming so irresistibly
in the wash-goods department.
Two fabrics are combined in this
dress-a floral print and plain con-
trast. The bodice is made with inset
yoke, collar. bow, and sleeve bands
made of organdie, or sheer lawn. The
figured fabric is crisp lawn. with a
family dressy design.
Skirts continue to be straight. This
one has a godet which gives flare
enough for striding, without taking its
slender appearance away. The bodice
is cut high in the armhole, and the
sleeve sections are super-imposed. This
construction inSures silhouette that
has width without fullnesS.

~ EMEMBERING the fear that
u Spite the Marten had brought
to the Green Forest during
i y his short visit there, Downy
the Woodpecker found 1t a
bit difficult to imagine Spite being,
in his turn. as afraid of some one
as others were of him. Yet Downy's
cousin, Ladderback, member Of the
Woodpecker family, with. but three
toes on each foot, had said that up
north where Spite the Marten was at
home, the latter had big cousin Of
whom he was as much afraid as
Chatterer the Red Squirrel was Of
Spite. His name was Pekan the
Fisher.
THAT is pretty hard to believe, but,
Of course. If you say 1t is so, 1t must

YOUR LIFE AT STAKE

During 1894, accidents of all kinds
caused l0l. 900 deaths-the highest
total on recOrd-in addition to al
most l0,O00,000 non-fatal injuries.
The total cost of those accidents,
including wage loss, medical eX-
pense and property damage, amount
ed to So. 800, 100000.
Accidents are responsible Tor
more deaths to persons between the
ages of five and nineteen than any
other cause. Among persons of all
ages, only three diseases result in
more deaths than do accidents.
These are facts that should make
the public cause, think and remem-
Der. The waste of accidents, both in
lives and materials, is complete and
irrevOcable. 1t cannot be repaired.
And it is almost entirely unneces-
sary.
Of all forms of accidents, those
caused by the automobile are of
course the most serious. Between
1913 and 1884 motor vehicle deaths
increased from 1927 to 10000 a year,
while other kinds of accidents drop
ped from 1928 to $4,000. That is
largely due. to the increased number
of cars in use-but the fact remains
that at present motor accidents per
thousand gallons of gasoline con-
sumed, are on the rise. The reck1
less driver is becoming more reck-
less-the incompetent driver is be-
coming still more of a menace to all
who use the streets and highways.
The automobile accident record is in
striking contrast to that of indus
try, which has made magnificent
progress in reducing both the sever
ity and frequency of accidents in
even the most hazardous factory OPP
Grafton.
The war on accidents is every citi-
zen's war, and every citizen should
"ioin the colOrs" Thousands of
lives, to say nothing OF billions of
dollars, are at stake-and your life
and your dollars are among them.
