feel irritable and out Of sorts. He
wanted to be by himself He wanted
to be undisturbed SO he had wan
dered far from that part OF the
Green Forest that was on the land
of Farmer Brown until in quiet
and secluded place he had found
thicket that was just to his liking.
When his antlers were fully grown
and hardened he would go back and
join Mrs Lightfoot. Until then he
wanted to keep out of her sight.
So Lightfoot was somewhat dis
gusted when he discovered that Mrs.
Lightfoot had wandered into the
locality of his retreat, and he took
pains to keep out of her way. If she
knew that he was in the vicinity
she made no sign He located her
favorite thicket and kept away from
it. He guessed that she wanted to
be by herself, and he knew that he
wanted to be by himself He found
her favorite drinking place and used
another. So the days slipped away
and he almost forgot she was in the
neighborhood
Then this morning, as he lay in
his thicket doing. there was a sud-
den uproar not far away Startled.
he threw up his head to listen. A
series OF crashes in the brush was
followed by the excited baying of
Dogs. Baying is the hunting cry Of
Hounds when they are on hot trail.
Silently but quickly Lightfoot got
to his feet. He stood tense and alert
as he listened to the uproar. Were
those Dogs coming in his direction?
He hoped not. He was in no condi-
tion for long. hard run.
For moment those Dogs had
seemed to be coming his way. Then
the sound veered and began to go
away from him. He relaxed, but
still stood watching as he listened.
Who could it be that those Dogs
we're after? 1t couldn't be Reddy
Fox, because at the start there had
been the sound of some one leaping
or bounding through brush. Reddy
Fox would have mode no sound at
all. Only a Deer could make such
a noise. Could it be that there was
a strange Deer In the neighborhood?
Then for an instant he had a glimpse
of a graceful form bounding over the
trunk of fallen tree and knew it
for Mrs. Lightfoot.
Liehtfoot twitched his white TAIL
his flag as it is called, nervously.
He was disturbed. He was greatly
disturbed. Where would Mrs. Light
foot 90? What could she do to get
rid OF those Dogs? He could hear a
man whistling and shouting. It was
the master Of the Dogs, trying to
call them back. Lightfoot didn't
know that. In so far as he knew
that shouting might be to urge the
Dogs on.
So Lightfoot stood listening. The
wise thing for Mrs. Lghtfoot to do
would be to make straight for the
pond Of Paddy the Beaver. deep In
the Green Forest. It would be a
long run, but if she could reach 1t
she might have some chance to es-
cape those Dogs. But she wasn't
heading for that pond. He could tell
this by the sound of the Dogs. She
was circling. Evidently she didn't
want to 60 so far away as that pond
Why? Lightfoot became more and
more disturbed as he listened to the
sound of the chase.

~ DON'T like spoiled people and I'm
never going to get spoiled" says
Mitzi Green, the slim, blonde young
star who has made shining name for
herself this year in the Broadway production
BABES in Arms" Certainly she shows no sign
of spelling as yet, in spite of her great success
in highly successful show and the long-tem
movie contract it has won for her. When the
stage version closes, Mitzi's first job under the
new contract will be to do the leading role
in the screen version Of the same play.
It will not, however, be Mitzi's first ex-
perience in the movies. Five years ago she
brought to close her astonishingly successful
career as child star of motion pictures - the
first child, in fact, ever to be given contract
instead of being engaged for one play at a
time.
The years between have not been idle.
Mitzi went to professional school; she sang
and entertained over the radio; she played In
summer stock companies. And Mit1, with
her quick, keen mind. was able to turn all
these things to more than ordinary account.
She has now maturity far beyond her years,
coupled with the natural and unself-conscious
charm of youth.
She has youths keen appetite, too, with
tastes that range from the viands on an
elaborate buffet-supper table to hambmgers
and hot dogs, which she loves. They have

also recommends chow mein as fine occa-
sional dish. And turkey she loves more than

Mitzi likes informal parties best, especially
a buffet supper served out of doors. I'VE had
a marvellous buffet party out on Long Island

relish. There was a huge cold turkey. the
most tender tongue you ever tasted, baked

Like most of US. Mitzi loves good cake
And the kinds she likes best are treat on
any table, Angel-food cake is a great favorite
of hers, especially if she can have some
chocolate ice cream with it. Gingerbread
topped with whipped cream, is something else

have photographed them for llustra-
tons on this page.

So Mitzi gave us the recipe. and it is an
excellent one. She also gave US her mother 8
recipe for baked noodles "a favorful and
pleasing dish among the household favorites.
There are many wholesome. simple dishes
on Mitzis list of favorites. She stands up
stanchly for spinach, though she likes it

Mitzi likes 'in any FORM" and she mentions

equally enthusiastic about mashed sweet
potatoes baked with marshmallows on top
and served hot from the oven.

VARIOUS VIEWS
By Arthur Van Define
The Questionable Races

If the population of the world start
ed as single family from Adam OF
Noah, where or when did the five
great races of the world start? Many
have studied and written on this sub
ject in an attempt to answer it cor
rectly, but their viewpoints have var
led immensely. Some of our learned
men believe we started as a single race
Of people, but through wandering to
foreign lands we became influenced
by heat, cold or other climatic in
fluences of environment and finally
changed in speech, color, stature and
etc.
There are many varied opinions on
this subject and perhaps there is no
definite way of proving these theories

tain a maximum Of beauty and COM
fort as long as you've little grass
and few shrubs. Just spread the
color on with q lavish handsome
artificial and some supplied by ma
ture. Even If its only the back yard Of
limited scope that the big city dwell
or proudly calls q garden, the little
plot can be garden indeed.
OF course, there's the big essential
flowers. II the earth isn't right for
raising them just grow them in pots
potted plants are right, even for
the most formal and sumptuous Of
gardens. And then paint those pots

ple-what you will.
And Of course there's that other
necessity place to sit and enjoy the
summer breezes and watch things
grow. An old wicker chair reprinted
to blend in with those flower pots,
And here's a tip passed on from good
authority. A grand way to repaint
wicker furniture is to fill cleaned
out Fit gun with enamel and then
spray away. It's as much fun as
spraying potato bugs off the vines,
and it's just as ef1icient-the enamel
will get into every crevice and every
crack. Then there's the popular
deck chair, bright and cheerful with
the same enamel coat. Next, an old
table in new coat of color. for the
odds and ends Of unbreakable ash
trays, glasses of lemonade, and so on.
Or you can make a perfectly grand
tea table out Of an old wheelbarrow.

new INVENTION
IS USED BY
STUDEBAKER

And now, in this bewildering age
of inventions, we have an electrical
gadget so sensitive that it can accur-
ately measure to an nth degree the
thickness of lacquer or enamel on a
steel surface. The first of these start
ling devices to make its appearance is
now in service at The Studebaker Cor
poration in South Bend, Indiana
where it is being used in the paint di-
vision to check the thickness of the
many coats of lacquer on Studebaker
car bodies.
It's all very simple, claims Thomas
Owens, operator of the new thickness
guage. Elementary, in fact! He ex.
plains that its operation is based on
the simple theory of balancing an IN
known electrical resistance against a

ing the result from a dial on which
a needle does all sorts of puzzling Ito

The Studebaker people have found
the gauge of splendid service in es-
tablishing an accurate check on the

automobile body as it energies with

CHEVROLET AGAIN
SPONSORS SOAP
BOX DERBY

For the fourth consecutive year
Chevrolet, will again cooperate with
the leading newspapers of the country
in sponsoring the All-American Soar
Box Derby, which is recognized by
sports writer's and enthusiasts as "the
greatest amateur racing event in the
world"
The Derby, started in Dayton, Ohio,
four years ago, has grown in popular
ity and appeal so that today it stands
along as the greatest single sporting
event for boys. Thousands already
making plans for building their own
racers for this years event.
Last year there were more than
100000 boys competing in various
cities throughout the United States
Champions from 116 cities took part
in the national finals at Akron, Ohio.
The national and international fin
ais this year will be held at Akron, on
August Is, according to an anounce-
ment made this week by C. P. Fiken,
advertising manager of the Chevrolet
Motor Division of General Motors
Sales Corporation. City Champions
from 120 cities will compete.
Entries from Canada, South Africa,
Mexico, and Hawaii are also expected
to compete in the international finals.
Plans already are under way for en-
larging the facilities of the concrete
track at Derby Downs, just outside
the Akron airport.
B. E. Fulton, airport manager at
Akron, will be national race director
according to Mr.. Fisken, and he will
have complete charge of all arrange
ments at the track. He will be as
sisted by James S. Schlemmer, sports
editor of the Akron Beacon Journal,
which is co-sponsor with Chevrolet in
the national and international races.
Mr.. Fulton has been closely associa-
ted with past Derbies and has been
prominently identified with the Ma
tional Air Races and with air shows
at his own airport.
The National Champion will be
awarded four-year college scholar

to the satisfaction of all concerned,
this question, is the American Indian.
From what continent and nation did
he originally wander? Or was he orig
inally of this continent? How many
years had the Indians been in this do
minion before Columbus discovered
them on an island and took specimens
back to Europe?
The world and its people has always
been a mystery, that man has longed
to explain; he has tried year after
year; century after century, to explore
and explain all the hidden mysteries of
himself and the world. Many of the
mysteries have been uncovered by
mans knowledge which continues to
increase with the passing years.
Through laborious tracing and COM
pairing, man has been as yet, unable
to obtain absolute, sufficient, and
complete knowledge about the world
and the folks who inhabit it. From
the great chain of past events, some
very valuable links appear to be lost,
strayed or stolen. Until they are re-
covered, all the mysteries of our globe
and its people, will perhaps remain I'M
solved theories, and many facts per-
tanning to the races that dwell on the
revolving planet or ours, will be un-
known.
One of the hardest parts to solve on
therefore, the problem will probably
remain throughout the ages, an I'M
solved mystery.

At the Crisfield High School, prac-

Besides those attempting to attain

and girls not enrolled in the school,
yet who are eligible, and might try
for the awards anyway because of

even the same school at some previous
time.
Crisfield highs record for badge
winning is not surpassed by any

Place an extra half-shelf over the
top, paint the whole body one bright
color, and the wheels, handles and
legs another. It's as attractive piece
of garden furniture as you could find
in the shops. Even dirt, and CRIME,
rain and storm can't hurt this furni-
ture-the enamel takes to water as to
a brother and comes forth as clean,
fresh and true-colored as the day
you put it on.
Even critical eyes would look at
your little garden spot with envy and
admiration after a workout OF this
sort, and it will cost you hardly any
thing-just the price Of the enamel
and bit Of your time, effort and
ingenuity.
