Wee Duncy was 8 tickled lad He shouted, Gee, but I am glad that have entertained the beasts I surely made them roar.
 And, all did was climb around didn't even make sound. Why, judging from the way they clap their paws, they want some more. ,
 of course they do," kind Slim replied. They'll beg, as long as you're inside the cage, for more and better tricks. Gee, they'd watch you all day"
 "Okay," said Duncy. Here I go. A fancy little flip I'll show. The beasts may think this stuff is hard, but, to me, it's like play"
 Real shortly, his fine flip was OCT a flip that made the audience roar. Then Scouty cried, Come out of that big cage. Do tricks out here.
 Friend Slim has brought some circus props; the sort we've all seen in big tops. We'll set little plat form up. The beasts can gather near"

I'll need to do little stunt that's often done by seals.
 "You Tinies watch that little bear. The one that's standing over there. Each time I've finished with Q stunt, the little fellow squeals."
 The tub was rolled into place, and Duncy, smile upon his face, hopped onto 1t and shouted, Here's a trick you've seen in shows.
 Nov, toss the big ball right t'ward me, and then watch closely and you'll see me stand on just one foot, and catch it neatly on my nose"
 The first time that the ball was thrown, poor Duncy missed, and with Q groan, he shouted, Try again. The pesky ball fell to the ground"
 So Coppy once more tossed it out. This time there came merry shout. On Duncy's nose the ball was balanced. whirling round and round.

been skinned), and the giblets.
THE giblets should not be canned
with the other meat, as they will
flavor and discolor 1t. Also. it is bet
ter to can the ivers alone, and the
gizzards and hearts together. Remove
the chicken skin or not, as desired,
and trim off Jumps of fat. Too much
fat makes chicken difficult to process.
Make broth with the bony pieces.
Cover with lightly salted cold water,
simmer until the meat is tender and
drain off the broth to use as the liquid
in canning the meaty pieces. Strip
the meat from the bones and can as
small pieces to use in making sand

"If desired add five tablespoons Of
granulated gelatin to each quart of
broth. Moisten the gelatin first with
little of the cold liquid and dissolve
in the hot broth.
X ~
THE meaty pieces of the chicken
may be canned either with or
without the bone. The flavor is bet
ter with the bone. For canning in
glass, one way is to pre-cook the
chicken in moderate oven $3.50 de-
grees F., pack hot and cover with
pan drippings or with boiling water.
Another way is to parboil the chicken,
pack hot and cover with broth. In
either case. cook the chicken until the
raw color has almost disappeared at
the center Of the piece. Add one-half
teaspoon Of salt to the pint jar and
leave headspace Of one-half inch.
Partially seal and place the jars in
the pressure canner. Process at $50
degrees F., or IS pounds pressure, for
65 minutes If the chicken is canned
with the bone, IS minutes for boned
chicken.
"The same procedure may be used
for canning in tin, except that No. 2
tin cans require 5-16-inch headspace,
and the filled cans should be inme-
diately sealed, then processed. In cans
of this size chicken with bone should
be processed for SIS minutes, boned
chicken IS minutes.
ITO pre-cook the chicken in tin cans
place the filled cans, open, in boil
ing-water bath that comes to within
IL to inches Of the top of the can.
Cover the bath to hold in steam and
heat, being careful that the water does
not bubble into the cans. Continue
heating until the meat is steaming
hot, or ITO degrees F. at the center of
the cans, and has practically lost its
raw color. To make sure of this with
out a thermometer, turn out the meat
from a few Of the cans. When the
meat is cooked press it down in the
cans, to be sure it is covered with
broth and that there is proper head
space-5-16 inch for No. 2 tin cans.
Seal and process at once, IS minutes
for No. cans Of chicken with bone,
IS minutes for boned chicken. In

Dorothy Dix Says
Neither Husband or Wife Should Out

man Mr. Mary Jones, no matter how
famous Mary is, is to offer him a
deadly insult.
OF course, there are exceptions to
all rules and there are few men who
are proud of their wives talents out

scarce as hens teeth. Few men can
bear their wives superiority and, gen.
orally speaking, it does not make for
happiness in the home for the gray
mare to be the better horse.
Il X X X
RUT when it comes to considera-
~ tion of the children it is far bet
ter for them to have superior
mother than a superior father, which
is amply proven by the fact that great
men seldom have great sons, whereas
almost every great man had had
great mother.
1t is the mother who has the shap-
ing of the children's characters in her
hands She is with her babies all the
time and she has an influence over
them that their father cannot pos
sibly have. She forms their ideals.
She teaches them the code they live
by and die by. She makes them
fighters or slackers.
No matter how fine man Is or
how cultured or how ambitious he is
for his children, he can do nothing
if they have a common, dull, vision
less mother who negates every effort
to improve the children and drags
them down to her own level. But the
superior mother sees that her children
have an education, though she works
her fingers to the bone to give it to
them. She fires their souls with am
oition. She holds them up to the best
they can do, and she makes of her
shoulders a ladder on which they
climb to the places she has deter
mined they shall occupy.

YOUR first Fall dress may cost un-
der IS or over $50, but the mark
on the tag is not nearly as important
as how and how much the dress looks
on you. say how and how much
because I've seen women lend a mil
lion-dollar look to inexpensive outfits
by the way they wore them, or rather,
carried them. Again I've seen women
(and I'm sure you have, too) who in
vested in expensive clothes, but their
clothes never looked as fine on them
as on the store hanger. And when
human flesh and form can't do more
to flatter than an inanimate hanger,
there's something sadly wrong. Like
as not, there's a slump somewhere.
A fiat or flabby bust, a protruding
abdomen, an exaggerated S curve in
back, too prominent derriere. At
tention called to the figure flaws
rather than to the fashionable ft-
tings that should but don't grace that
figure.
Think about your posture, the more
the merrier. Frequently during the
day take minute or two to pull up.
II you make 1t a habit so much the
better. But in the meantime pave
the way to the habit by the "every

The posture test is good one:

back touching the wall: shoulders,

That small of the back is so easy to
get back Practice makes perfect.
Bear that in mind. Don't force the
buttocks back in an attempt to get
the small of the back to touch the
wall. That was the fault of the old
school, That's why so many of US
have sway back. Teacher called "at-
tention!" Heels were clicked to-

DEAR MRS. POST: Does woman
who has divorced her husband
have a right to continue using letter
paper marked with his crest?
Answer: This is a moot question,
but in the States and under the cir
cumstances where the wife is given
the right to use his name, it is as
sumed that she is also given the con-
tinued right to use the device that
was on his shield, in a lozenge. NO

ny THIS time everybody has be-
- come quite used to the idea of
high hats that only few
- weeks ago seemed so startlingly
new. Yet many women still feel
little skeptical about wearing such
extreme crowns; for them there Is
good news. We hear from fashion
sources that there are many shallow
to medium crowns to be found among
smart new hats from important de-
signers. In fact, this seems to be
"made-to-order" millinery season and
there should be no problem in hat
shopping. OF the shallow to medium
group you will find turbans posed back
of the forehead, berets with a blown
back look, and the pillbox toque, all
with many new interpretations.
Take for example the unusual bon
net shown in the photograph above.
Here is a hat pushed well off the face
that is the last word in sophisticated
millinery. 1t is the creation Of an
outstanding New York designer and,
paradoxically. its inspiration Is derived

Lyons velvet with bandeau of mink

schoolgirls. Rather, it is for the sophis-

to make an entrance in a smart velvet
afternoon dress and mink coat! She
will know just how to wear this bonnet
and carry it of to perfection. Note
that the hat Is firmly fitted, with a
crown that follows the contour of the
head and coiffure.
Another hat from the same designer
is lovely green velour tailored hat
for the street costume. This does ride
to peak at the top of the crown, but
to make 1t wearable for one whose head
does not need height, or whose hair
arrangement does not admit of the
snug fit, there is an ingenious upper
arrangement up the front which may
be opened and the crown manipulated

CORRESPONDENT asks. Ii

"A riage, which should be thu
4 \ superior one, the husband or
the wife?" If you are considering
only the happiness of a husband and
a wife, it is undoubtedly far better for
the man to be the superior one. Per-
haps this Is the law of nature. When
Nature created man of greater size
than woman and gave him greater
strength, it intended that his mate
should look up to him.
At any rate, the most successful
marriages are those in which this hap
pens. When the situation is reversed
and the husband has to kotow to his
mate it spells misery for all concerned,
As long as a woman believes that she
Is married to the handsomest, the
wisest and the most wonderful man

On the other hand, no households
are more miserable than those in
which q meek, henpecked husband
writhes under the thumb of DOM
inant wife. For it is a popularity OF
the feminine temperament that even
the most tyrannical and autocratic
women have contempt for the men
they rule. The only affection they
ever feel for men Is the pitying love
of a mother for a weak child. You
see many brilliant men contented with
dull wives, but you never see bril-
liant woman satisfied with a dumb
husband.
~ + X
THERE are many reasons why 1t Is
better for the man to be the su-
perior one in marriage. One reason is,
of course, the material idea that he Is
the one upon whom the family for
tune depends; he Is the one who must
60 out into the world and meet its
competition, wrest from it whatever
good things the wife and children
have, SO it is more important that he
be clever, strong, alert than that the
wife, whose activities and opportuni-
ties are circumscribed by her duties as
wife and mother, should be go-getter.
Another reason why it is better
that the ht-b ID should be the
superior one il ne family is because
women glory In their husbands
superiority, whereas nothing gives the
average husband such a pain in the
neck as for his wife to excel him in
any way. The only compliment that
man enjoys being paid to his wife
Is one concerning her looks or her
clothes or her cooking or her char
acter. A wife is proud Of her hus-
bands success. She gloats over his
achievements and asks nothing better
than to be known as the wife her
husband, but there Is nothing . man
