Have you noticed that your dog is
not hungry at meal time? That he
doesn't pay much attention to his
food? 1t may be that he is tired of
that particular ration. Ike to feed
one brand for while, not over two
weeks, and then shift to another or
to another type of food.
Does your dog like to stay in his
kennel, if he has a kennel? In case
he doesn't there must be something
wrong with it. Dampness, perhaps.
The roof may leak or the floor may
absorb moisture from being too close
to wet ground. Another cause might
be dirty bedding. And that can cause
a lot of additional trouble, too. Keep
the kennel clean. Sweep and scrape
it all out whenever it isn't just right.
Pine needles make good bedding.
So do shavings, or hay, straw or peat
moss. Dead leaves are also good.
Many dogs stay in their owners
houses at night. For these fellows
there are special dog mats. They are
made of different sizes for different
dogs, and the best mats are permeated
with chemicals that keep down the
doggy odors and kill feas. Practi-
cally all dogs like them, and the mats
can be laid under the stove or in a
corner that Is not drafty.

Manhattan not many years ago, when
workmen were excavating to build an
apartment house. Many other Skele-
tons have been found in Eastern and
Western United States, fewer in the
Southern and Central regions.
Why did these powerful animals,
covered with long hair in Northern
climates, and armed with heavy tusks
9 feet long, disappear? So far as We
know. there was no change of tenn
perature which would make life diff
ficult for them. And, judging from
the skeletons and the Stomachs which
have been preserved through thousands
of years, there was no scarcity of food.
For many of these mastodon stomachs
are well stocked with food, still undi-
gested, when they are found centuries
later. Bones and stomachs and food
have all been preserved in the ancient
bogs where SO many of the mastodons
seem to have been trapped. 1t is, at
any rate, these prehistoric bogs which
have yielded most Of the mastodon
remains for modern study.
Mastodons lived not only in America
but elsewhere, although the term is
often used to mean only the American
variety. Many scientists believe that
they may still have been inhabitants
of America when the first human be-
ings dwell here, but there is no proof
of this theory.
The gulf between mastodon and our
modern elephant seems to be partly
bridged by creature whose bones
were found in Texas. Judging from
the parts of this skeleton which We
have, he was an elephant-like masto-
don
Another relative of the mastodon
which inhabited America in about the
same age. or even before, is the man,
moth, another of the elephants an
cestors. He differed from the masto-
don chiefly in the kind of teeth he
had.

For goodness sakes. what are you

Betty, as she pasted red petals on a

she uses the opposite trick and colors
them dark above and light below. The
technique is so good that stuffed
tiger in his native haunts is almost
invisible, even in broad daylight. But
turn him upside-down and there he
is, plain as day.
1t is their "counter-shading" which
makes so many birds difficult to see.
Nor is it an accident that the leopard
has spots and the tiger has stripes,
though both hunt in daylight and take
little or no trouble to hide.
But the leopard crouches in the
tree tops where his spots look like the
splotchy dark leaves against the
brighter sky-and handsome and bril-
liant as he is, 1t takes a sharp eye
to see him up in his branches. His
camouflage is perfect.
The tiger, on the other hand, hunts
on the grounc-in bushy thickets and
high grasses-and his stripes look
hardly different from these. A sudden
rustling of the brush and the tiger
emergeS, ready to pounce-where there
seemed only the quiet sunshine and
shadow Of reeds and grasses before.
No wonder this tawny cat, who has
the talent Of making himself invisible,
strikes terror into man and beast.

Natures Tricks.
1T MAY have puzzled YOU.

IT MAY have puzzled you. II you
have ever thought about it, that
so many animals are colored darker
above than below. The tiger and the
leopard are shaded so that their backs
are darker than their bellies. Most
birds, too are darker above than
below.
One suspects that nature has her
reasons, as she always has, but it was
only recently that scientists discovered
the principle Of coloration she used-a
principle which Is called counter
shading"
In the fields and forests, light comes
from above, and if you were drawing
an object and wanted to make 1t look
round and stand out from its back
ground, you would naturally shade the
color from bright above to dark below,
where the shadows are.
Nature, however, has no intention
of coloring her creatures so that they
stand out conspicuously from their
backgrounds. She wants to blend
them so deftly into the landscape
where they live. that they fade out
of sight" though they are there. So

Telegrams Tell

THIS is game for those in the
family who like brain-teasers.
The idea is to write 12-word tele-
gram containing a concealed tip. The
initial letters of the words used must
spell out sentence, phrase. or warm
ing which bears on the message and
tips off the receiver to some informa-
ton the sender wants him to have.
yet hesitates to tell in the actual
message.
For example. suppose man re-
ceives the following telegram from
his best friend: Intensely anxious
moment. Killed Ida's dog. Near q
park entry. Dick"
The receiver snaps into action, for
by reading the initial letters of the
telegram he gets the secret informa-
ton, II am kidnaped"-and possibly
a clue as to where the deed was done.
Writing these cryptic kilograms Is
by no means easy, but grown ups
enjoy Draining out" a winner. Tele-
grams are read aloud and judges pick
the cleverest.

Ronnie in a subdued voice. He was

From deSolate room to desolate

the bannister had fallen away. Then,
after inspecting the dusty. cobweb-
covered second floor Ronnie turned
to Emily.
We'll, how about it?" he said softly.
Are you game?"

do it?" she challenged.
"Well, don't know" Ronnie
grinned. Il wouldn't be crazy about
the idea. Personally, I don't care for
haunted houses! But Hicky would
do it. He wouldn't be afraid. And
if you are as brave as any boy, you
must be as brave as Hicky.'

grinned at her tantalizingly.

challenged. "Ronnie is calling your

settle the problem Of Hicky, one way
or the other. Either he or Emily
would be proved right and the other
would be wrong. The quarrel would

Ronnie told Hicky all about Emily's

Hicky listened intently, q disapprov-

you are"

fully. But there's something funny
about it. It's q broken down old
farm house that sits back from the
road about miles beyond Jenkins

lived there alone was murdered. They

She won't stay" said Hicky SOL

formance that afternoon would have

was awful. Coach Williams finally
benched him and put Ben Michaelson
on first.
It was after II o'clock that night
when Ronnie, walking quickly down
the street toward the Mills home, met
Herb and Emily. Their parents had
gone to be-. early. as had Ronnie's.
and every one had got out Of the
house without difiiculty.
Ronnie climbed into the back seat
of the Mills car, as Emily was sitting
in front with Herb. Hicky had given
Ronnie detailed directions for reach
ing the haunted house. and the car
was soon humming out the road. They
passed jenkins filling station, and a
few minutes later Ronnie began to
watch carefully for the lonely lane
that led to the haunted house.

Herb swung the car into a rutted,
grass-grown road. Bushes grew
heavily on either side. Soon, looming
up ahead Of them. they saw the house
IT WAS a weather beaten. desolate
two-story structure. AS the head
lights fell upon it they could see its
broken windows, its shutters hanging
drunkenly, its sagging roof. A little
shiver ran through Emily. and Rom

tightly.
Both of the boys had brought flash

OF course, our American jazz was

who was performing a wild dance
while his friends beat time with their

colored man at its conclusion and

NOteS on logs.
IT IS a very bad plan TO feed
chicken bones to dogs. Some
times the trouble caused by these
bones is not very apparent. I've
noticed that in some cases the dog
does not act as If he was actually
sick, but only dopey. He loses his

suffering any pain.
However, If he is fed good brand
Of commercial dog food with little

Chicken bones splinter when dog

so often that his hair is worn OF
