BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

10 OFTEN we get the idea crea-
lures are rare. simply because
we do not see one often or
- great number Of them, or per-
haps we have been mistaking them for
another species.
In q way this Is true Of the little
silt sandpiper. who may be seen
teetering along the sands Of the At
lantic Coast. Many have thought
one was his cousin, Yellow-legs. This
mistake would never be made If you
had your field mark in mind. This
little piper has yeilowish-green legs
and almost black feet.
Many call this bird the frost snipe
and others the long-legged. During
the Summer, when you are most
likely to see him, the color scheme
Is q coat Of blackish brown and each
feather Is edged with white or buff.
The forehead is rufous, the center
Of the crown dusky, and there is q
whitish line from the bill to over
and behind the eye. The upper tail
coverts are also scalloped with white
or gray and the tail is mottled with
gray and white. The under parts
are white. with glow of brown on
them. The long, efficient bill is green
ish black, and not so long as its
neighbor, the snipe's.
As travellers they have few equals.

Bedtime Stories
The Happy Jacks Are Upset.

Mrs. Happy. He saw no nest. OF
course there was not much In that
little sugar house. There were
couple of hunks on which Farmer
Browns Boy and his father could
sleep. There was an evaporator for
boiling the sap. There were great
stacks of pals, nested one in another.
And there were some shelves and q
little cupboard for food. The cup
board was open and the cupboard was
empty. All this Peter could see.
That's funny" said Peter, talking
to himself. That's funny. I'm sure
that Happy Jack and Mrs. Happy
didn't come out Of that chimney. !
wonder If 1t can be that their nest is
in the chimney. Sometimes I wish !
could climb. Yes. sir. sometimes ]
wish I could climb. This is one of
the times I'd like to climb up and
look down into that chimney"
Peter hoped outside again and
just then Happy Jack Squirrel hoped
out on top of the chimney Hello.
Happy Jack!" cried Peter. Have you
nest down In there?"
None of your business" replied
Happy Jack Grossly and most impo-
litely. 1t is plain to see that he was
very much disturbed Mrs. Happy
joined him. They both looked over
toward Farmer Browns Boy and on
their faces was a most worried look
Peter just couldn't understand it.

Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.

Flxatlon.
WE are always going forward Very
slowly, of course. Perhaps We
are obliged to consider few years at
o time in order to notice any progress
There comes a time when we cease
to go forward. Progress for us has
reached the limit That's when senes-
cence sets in. We have reached the
limit of maturation. Every one makes
allowance for old age or senescence.
But younger persons seem to stop
now and then before their expected
time. They may stop at the adolescent
period-say between the ages of IA
and al. You couldn't call that senes-
Tence. You call it flxation.
Fixations always refer to the emo
tions, not to the intellect. Many a
person intellectual in some narrow
field of learning still keeps his or her
adolescent feelings about persons
creeds, constitutions. events. Some
get away with it. Most do not.
What causes all these fixations?
This question has puzzled the psy-
biologists for some years. 1t seems
that parent or teacher or minister
may pamper a child too much, baby
him along. When you start that you
have retarded the normal course of
events that go along with living. You
have set up . psychological barrier
which inhibits emotional growth.

They ran this way and that. They
were excited. They jumped on the
roof of the sugar house, and suddenly
Mrs Happy Jack disappeared. She
had gone down the chimney. Yes, sir.
she had gone down the chimney.
so that's the way they get in and
out of that sugar house!" exclaimed
Peter. "I suppose they've got nest
in there somewhere, and that is why
they are so excited. I wonder If
Farmer Browns Boy has found it yet"
Apparently Farmer Browns Boy
hadn't, for he came out and began
to chop wood. You see, he had come
over to open up the sugar house and
get it ready for the Spring sugaring.
All about were maple trees, great big
maple trees. Every Spring, when the
sap started to run in those great trees
Farmer Browns Boy and his father
collected the sap and from it made
maple sirup and maple sugar there
In that little sugar house. That is why
it was called the sugar house. 1t was
just about time for the sap to begin
to run and Farmer Browns Boy had
come over to get things in readiness
for busy days ahead.
AS soon as he was outside Happy
Jack disappeared down the chimney.
Peter saw him go down. Right away
the curiosity that had brought him
over in the first place became aroused.
He wished he could peep into
that little house. He wanted to see
where those Squirrels were. Farmer
Browns Boy stopped chopping and
started off through the woods. He was
looking over the trees, to see II some
of the younger trees we're yet big
enough to be tapped AS soon as he
was far enough away Peter crawled
out from that piece of pipe and hoped
over to the open doors Of that sugar
house.
He glanced behind him, to make
sure that Farmer Browns Boy was not
returning. Then he hoped just in
side the door. He looked all around.
He saw no sign of Happy Jack or Of

Pension Cut of Regular
Soldiers Called Disgrace

thought to the mel. who have

Under the power granted to
the Chief Executive by the Econ

listed men suffered reductions in
their pensions which may well
be called a national disgrace
Those who lost their eyeSight
were reduced more than 80 pei
cent, while those who suffered
anatomical los es were reduced
as much as more than 80 pei
cent. and all of those men were
injured while in the performance
of their duty. 1t is economically
impossible for a soldier to per
