There is. for example. the great bear,
Mistamaskwa, who is the king OF all the
bears of the northern woodland. He
leaves tracks in the snow as large as
those of an elephant and has been in
terpreted as a possible folk memory Of
days when the hairy mammoth was still
alive Hunters have followed these
tracks. They always lead to the top OF
the mountain where there is pool.
They are seen entering the pool, never
leaving No Indian has actually seen
the great bear himself.
Then there is the spy caribou,
dwarf white animal about the size of a
collie dog, who turks about the villages
and informs the herd whenever hunt
ing party sets out. Otherwise, say the
Indians, how is one to explain the elu-
sivenesS of the caribou whenever hunt
ers are after them. They must be fore
warned 1t is long time since any
body has seen the white dwarf.
Each species an animal has its giant
prototype, believed to be a creature of
flesh and blood That these great beasts
are never seen, caught in traps. or killed
is due to their extreme cleverneSs.

any emergency: then, inevitably, des-

that the lawn in cold weather was to be
brown, or even gray, rather than green.
1t comes almost as a revelation to
realize that grass may be green at
this time.
Those interested in feeding the wild
birds which winter here will discover
that these creatures look better with
fine green background.
This season they may try new
wrinkle.
1t is to keep the sunfiower seed, IA
vorite of cardinals and many others.
separate from the general mixture used
for the songsters.
The idea is to prevent the creatures
from shoveling through the mixture to
get at the sunf1oWer seeds.
Squirrels, unlimited guests at many
feeding station, are particularly obnoxious
on this account.
They dig through the mixture with
their paws, in search of the plump SUM-
flower seeds, and so rake out more than
half of the others upon the ground.
Little will go to waste, of course, be-
cause most birds like nothing better than
to eat on the good earth, but there can
be little question that feeding would be
more economical, in the main, and GER
tainly more tidy if this practice of search
ing for favorites could be stopped.
4 X ~
Even the small birds. such as the tit
mice, like nothing better than sunflower
seeds
1t is a good idea TO rig up two feeders
close together. and in the smaller put
several handfuls of the seed from the
favorite sunfower, thus keeping it apart
from the rest Of the free lunch.
This also would serve the good purpose
of spreading out the feeding activities.
There is little gainsaying that bird
watching, if too concentrated, is trying
on the human eye.
If the birds are spread out in a yard,
by the use of several stations. it will
compel the eyes to look around. here
and there rather than at one point.
1t will be found helpful also TO put
one feeder rather close to the house, and
another at some distance, so the eye
which insists on looking close will be
compelled at times to look off into the
distance. This habit has the okay of
eminent specialists.
Green growing grass in fall and winter
ought to prove more attractive 10 birds,
and we believe it is, generally speaking.
The birds, of course, do not prefer 1t
for esthetic reasons; they find 1t more
edible, we feel sure.
In the cold months the birds which
STAY with us often suffer from lack of
water, and the moisture in green grass
might prove helpful to them, they are
such brave little beggars, making the
best of the world as they find it, and
able to utilize so many things which
otherwise would 60 to waste, in sense,
although certainly nothing really goes to
waste, in another.
Do not worry because the trampling
feet of the birds in time will rub the
fresh green grass down to bare earth.
If it is your first season with bird
feeding, you will think the grass is
ruined, but this is not the case; the
songsters do not injure the roots in
any way, and in spring. when feeding
is discontinued, the grass will grow up
again, with even more vigor than ever.

@. How is motion picture film de-
velored?-C. N.
A. The exposed film of moving pictures
is developed in exactly the same way as
ordinary camera film, except that it is
wound on wooden frame for conven-
ience in handling, and it remains on this
frame as it is dipped in one solution after
another. 1t may then be wound on
large rotating, cylindrical frame for dry
ing. This is done with fans in a dust
proof room.

O. At what rate of speed would
person have to be going to skid both
wheels of his automobile for a distance
of 20 feet before he can bring it TO a
stop?-R. H. S.
A. The National Bureau of Standards
saws that braking distance of 20 feet
indicates: Cd For vehicle with 2-wheel
brakes an initial speed of l3 to IS miles
per hour; ~ for vehicle with a
wheel brakes an initial speed of 18 to %
miles per hour. This assumes that the
stop is made on a dry, hard-Surfaced
road If the surface is loose gravel or
is wet the initial speed would be much
less.
@. Why is Mussolini's wife referred to
as donna?-W. H.
A. She is entitled to the appellation
of donna because her husband is a
wearer of the Collar of the Annunziata.
and this distinction gives both husband
and wife the rank OF a cousin OF the
King of Italy.
@. What causes tomatoes to crack be-
fore they are fully ripe?-W. A. A.
A. Tomatoes crack because of weather
conditions. Too much moisture is 4
common cause. Some varieties are much
more subject to cracking than others.
O. How large is the giant spider crab
of Japan?-A. D.
A. It may be II feet from tip to tip
Of its claws. The body OF the spider
crab may be 10 inches long and IL

in the past as a possibility for the Re-

his future political plans are if he has
any, has not been announced. 1t has

ters that if he should be selected by the
anti-La Toilette group in Wisconsin to

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

T don't know whether to tell Johnny that there is no Easter Bunny or not" says Mrs. Brown. Tt seems so foolish to think of a rabbit laying eggs. Some things are an insult to child's intelligence, don't you think? Like giving a baby feathers to play with, and then pouring honey over his hands. I don't want the boy to be an idiot"
 This mother expressed the guilty feeling of many parents, when fixing gay baskets to hide behind the curtains. Are they doing the right thing to relate all this nonsense about kind bunnies who forget their biological limits and hatch out chicks?
 On the face of 1t, it is foolish, but let us look into things a bit. So many things are foolish, yet they have a way of being good for us. After all, what are sunsets but vapor and reflected rays, or stars but rather terrible furnaces of chem icals that had better stay where they are?
 There is, in everyone, longing for something out of the usual, without dwelling too solemnly on causes.
 Infant Ignores Logic
 Small children never question the why of things, but still, that Is no argument for the lie. All fairy tales are lies, and so is Santa Claus. The whole problem consists in the "per- instability" of fantasy. Is it right or not?
 suppose this mother would read her little son Kipling's Just So Stories," about the Butterfly The Stamped" or how the camel got his hump, and never question the ethics of the story. Or Ken- neth Graham's classic, "Wind In The Willows" about the mole who went on adventures, the muskrat who rowed a little blue boat and the frog who was cer- tainly not just spending his time croaking.
 Yes, these books stand at the top of children's literature and many 8 long-faced pedagogue who would not think of telling his children about the Easter Bunny, would read these delight- full tales to his youngsters with his tongue in his cheek, and con- sider he was right. Answer--he has authority behind him, and if Kipling thought 1t all right to say, 1t must be "just so" for the chil- dren to hear it.
 The trouble is that there is no authority for Easter bunnies, only tradition, and parents are always uneasy about tradition.
 Pleasant Memories Survive
 It is tradition, however, that sends down roots, and that en- dears certain phases of childhood to us in later years. Merry days make an impression, and around them we group the paler things of life. Perhaps 1t would have been better if the egg, symbol of fertility and new life, had had a more reasonable ancestor than the rabbit. But as for a wise lit- tie rabbit gentleman to make a present of baskets, satin ribbon and all, why, what's wrong with 1t?

GIorting Yourself
ny Alicia RaEs

Do your feet bother you2 Perhaps you need Q pedicure more often. A weekly beauty treatment for feet and ankles keeps them not only attrac- tive (you'll be glad you did next summer on the sbeacl1), but also healthy and comfor table.
 First of all, take a leisurely bath. Then dry feet and put cuticle cream or plain olive oil on and around toenails. Dry the rest of your body. then begin the pedicure. Nails should be cut straight across, rough edges srnoothed down with the coarse side of an emery board.
 Use an orange stick, wrapped in cotton, to push back cuticle. Pumice will remove callouses, but rub 1t on gently, and don't try to do away with an entire callous in one treat ment. Never cut corr1s. This IS a job for the foot doctor.
 Now apply night cream and mas sage it in thoroughly. Remove, wash toenails with soap water, dry and buff them lightly or apply bright polish. Sprinkle feet with powder before you go to bed.
 See that your new spring shoes really 1t and that stockings are long enough. Short hose and uncomfort- able shoes will put lines across brow and give you . tense, strained ex- pression sooner than you think. Special exercises will keep ankles and feet slender and supple and more comfortable, too. Walk hare- footed around your room for a few minutes every night. Twist ankles backward and forward, around and around each morning just before you put on stockings.
 Lie on your back with heels fiat on the floor. Point toes upward to- ward your head as far as possible. Point them downward until ankle joints hurt little. Repeat ten times.
 If, after a day of shopping, your feet are SO swollen that the thoughts of putting on evening slippers make you squirn, soak feet for twenty minutes in a bowl of hot water to which half a cupful of baking soad has been added. Finish with an ice water rinse and dust on powder.

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX lNEA Service Staff Writerl

Are you tin can shy? Do you secretly fear poisoning from canned foods? Lots of otherwise modern housewives still cherish this old fashioned dread. But it just isn't true any more, according to scien- lists of the United States depart ment of agriculture.
 No, 1t really isn't necessary to empty the contents of a can the moment it is opened. The govern ment scientists state that harmful changes in the food cannot result merely from leaving food in the can after opening.
 Guard Against Later Spoilage
 Consumers have only two dan- gers to fear from canned food. One is the case, very rare now adays, when the food was not cor rectly sterilized and packed in an alright tin in the first place, or when the container has developed leak through damage in handling. So don't buy cans that are bent, bulging or leaking. And if when you open them, the food smells queer or looks abnormal don't use it or even taste it.
 The other danger lies in the house. wife forgetting that canned food, like any other perishable food. must be protected from contamination and spoilage after it is opened. Whether you keep it in the refrig- orator in or out of the can makes no difference in the safety of the food. It must be kept in perfect condition-just as perfect as food that is not canned.
 Do you know what cans are made of? Of thin steel sheets plated with tin. Experiments demonstrate, SO the department of agriculture reports. that any amount of tin which might be found in food from tin c0ntainer would not be in- furious to health. Acid fruits and vegetables packed in uneoated tin mot the usual method, however, may acquire a metallic taste. This is objectionable tO some but not harmful to health.
 So let's celebrate with some canned green gage plum tarts.
 Make tart shells of your fav0FNe ,ecipe. line pans and bake. When cool. fill with this mixture: 3-4 cup canned green ga9e plum juice. 2 tablespoons sugar. l tahlesDoon
