FARMER BROWNS BOY WAS
WORRIED FOR THE SAFETY OF
THOSE DUCKS.
warden. You see just who was get
ting those Ducklings neither Of them
knew.
At first Blacky the Grow had been
suspected by the game warden. Then
the question seemed to be settled by
the discovery that Grandfather Frog
had swallowed at least one OF the
little victims. OF course, he was
blamed for the disappearance Of the
others until Farmer Browns Boy
caught him and kept him at home
as q prisoner and the very next day
another Duckling vanished. The war
den had seen a Hawk above the
Smiling Pool that very morning and
at once suspected the Hawk.
''I'll get that fellow" declared the
warden, and spent q couple Of days
lying in wait near the Smiling Pool.
But the Hawk did not return and
another Duckling disappeared.
TT must be that some night
prowler is getting those Ducks" said
he to Farmer Browns Boy. 1T may
be an Owl or 1t may be Fox or q
Skunk. I've seen signs Of a Skunk
around here. One thing I can tell
you, and that is that II get shot
at a Fox or a Skunk around here
while these Ducks are still about 1t
will be Just too bad for him. There
is just one way to preserve game
birds and that Is to kill of all the
vermin that prey on them"
What do you mean by vormin?"
asked Farmer Browns Boy.
All the critters that kill game birds
and small game animals-crows,
hawks, owls, foxes, skunks, weasels, !"
replied the warden. II it wasn't for
them there might be"
More killing by men with guns"
interrupted Farmer Browns Boy,
whereat the warden scowled. You
know, 1t isn't always pleasant to hear
the truth
THE trouble u.s." continued Farmer
Browns Boy, that gunners want to
do all the killing themselves. Few
Of them need to kill for food. They
kill for sport, and most OF them kill
just As many Is they can. A Fox would
be satisfied with one duck II there
were 4 chance to get more? The av-
erage shooter would wipe out a whole
flock If he got the chance"
Farmer Browns Boy was growing
more and more indignant as he
talked. IF Crows and Owls and Hawks
and skunks and Foxes are vermin be-
cause they kill in order that they
themselves may live. what about the
hunters who kill in the name Of sport7
I want these little Ducks saved Just
q much Is you do, but don't want
others killed for what they haven't
done. So, there!"
The warden grinned good-naturedly.
you've sure laid me out pretty we'll,
son." said he. Il reckon you're partly
right, 1T that. Tell you what.
promise you won't shoot any Of
the critters until have more than 4
guess to 80 on. Speaking OF guessing,
what Is your guess? Who Is taking
those little Ducks?"
Il don't know, I don't even guess, :"
confessed Farmer Browns Boy.

 But for the more material and simpler side of happiness as rneasur- ed by social position, business pro- gress, and the acquisition of things, there Is no lack of other guides. And most of these are also debtors to the Freuds, lungs, and Adlers. Most of them write books, of. which hun- dreds of thousands of copies have been sold, telling their readers how to be healthy and wealthy and wise. After the books come the public lectures, which never fail to draw good audiences of the hopeful.

 There are many reasons for this. One is, the pace is faster, the nervous strain greater, the competi. tive tension higher.

 Ten main criteria observed in de. terminins the rating of each hos pitai were summarized by pr. Mal- colm T. MacEacherr, associate di. rector of the college, who directs the work in hospital standardization as follows:
 "i. A modern physical plant, as- suring the patients comfort and proper care.
 a. Clear definition of organiza. ton, duties, responsibilities and re. lationg in the hospitals constitu. ton, by-laws, rules and regulations
 ~3. A carefully selected govern. ing board with complete supervis- ory authority.

 "6. Organized medical stan oi ethical, competent physicians.

The 1897 list of 2,62l Approved Hospitals, including St. Mary's and the Waterbury Hospital in this city were announced at the Twentieth Annual Hospital Standardization Conference which opened in Chi- cago, Illinois, this morning.
 The Charlotte Hungerford Hos- pitai of Torrington, Newington Home for Crippled Children, veter- ans Administration Hospital in Newington and the Litchfield county hospital in Winsted are also on the list.s
 The Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons opened the convention today. pr George Crile, chairman of the board of regents, said:'
 The 1887 hospital standardiza' ton survey concludes two decades of successful effort by the Ameri. can. College of Surgeons to assist the hospitals of the United States and Canada in rendering better care of the sick and injured. Today 2,62l hospitals are awarded fulul oi provisional approval. At the enc of the first field survey in 1918, only 00 hospitals were Suthciently vel equipped, organized and admins tered to merit approval"
 Commenting further upon the survey, Dr. Crile declared:
 "The fact that one out of every l IA persons in the United States anc Canada went to some hospital ir 1886, with the probability that the same ratio will be maintained ir 1897, suggests how important hos pitals are to every community. Al this rate, If we assume that differ ent individuals each year enter hos | pltals, every IA years the entire population of this country and Can- ada will pass through hospitals as patients. Even when it is granted that the same persons are likely tc be patients several times during any ! l4-year period, it is evident thu proportion who will be hospitalized is astonishingly large.
 "What constitutes @ good hospital Dr. Grille continued, should there | fore be understood by everybody Through good hospitals medica science Is advanced, and constantly better chances of restoration tC health afforded patients. Conse. cuently the college regards the an. nouncement of it's approved list q a contribution to progress in health standards, evidencing as it does ths hearty coperaotion Of the hoAnlsr''

 This change goes back some 70 years. It was then that the pursuit of happiness was complicated by the discovery that e lot of things 90 on inside everybody's head that no- body had even suspected Up to that time. This Columbus of the con- sciousness was one Sigmund Freud, c Vienna nerve specialist who had studied with Charcot, the French neurologist.
 Raked up Memories
 Charcot had had 0 great deal of success with cases of hysteria by hypnotizing the patient and causing him, while in e hypnotic state to "get of his mind" things that had been bothering him and which he either could not or would not dis- cuSs while in c normal state of consciousness.
 Freud carried this to the next step. He persuaded his patients to rake Up buried memories by Q method of free association" with out losing normal consciousness. Then he strengthened them out. These and subsequent studies of what goes on inside the human mind were launched by Freud and school which grew up around him. Today's pursuit of happiness iS Is closely tied up with these studies Of how the mind works, and inc creasing numbers of people who aS- sign to mental kinks their lack of happiness take their minds to 6 psycho-analyst for e good dry-clean- ing and pressing.
