x "A growing child IS sensitive about His looks. The peculiar pSrt isy tllae lie often hates the very featurea that others praise. as
 Mary tugs at her mop ot golden curls and declares. that theyre hideots. Why?

Ox 1t might be that Myrtle, her best friend, has straight, shiny har, aa black as shoe polish, . But alas, It's more than likely that Brother Bill has christened her "Csoldilocks" or even tweaked tlls soft rinslets and called her Gun Moll." t4,st
 You seldom can tell why q child learns to dislike his, or her, tea- lures. ,,...sl !, .E Never to Be Spoken
 There are times, of course, when causes are more obvious, such aa teasing about ears that stick out a nose that turns to the sky; or referring to lean little legs aa ''pipe-sterns." .a
 Even the slightest allusion to any irregular member Is unwise, because the ever-ready dispar- agement of the child seizes upon any excuse to fix itself.
 We should not joke about any. thing of the sort, however love ingly, or by sign or sigh reveal cur secret disappointment.
 The boy or girl must always feel that he is as good looking as everyone else. And, of course, he really is. Beauty is so thin and so fleeting. The least attractive child usually grows into . person. able, if not handsome, adult. So why should he carry secret hurt with him all his life?
 There is something about freckles that sears the soul of their young victims, yet the freckled child is usually a sweetheart. And those lit- tie dots are not disfiguring but as lovely as dew.
 Ugly Ducklings Win Be Swans
 Here is the crux of the whole matter, I think. Time cures ale most everything but feelings. It shaps up heads, ears and noses, fills out shanks and wipes oil the skin. It evens of the fast-grower and the little fellow who delays adding to his inches. As they say, 1t all comes out in the wash. In the mentime. we must do all we can not to allow self-conscious- ness to ruin things.
 There is so much that can be cor- trolled or avoided during the sensi- tive stage. Not all, but every lit- tie bit helps.
 Children get notions enough with. out our aid. However, 1t is surpris- ing how little the boy resents the kids calling him Carrot" or 'Freck". Indeed. he knows this to be his membership card. and tingles with pride over "Pie Face" or Fatty.
 One last rule and good one is. Never discuss Q child's looks with him or before him" The best way is to forget all about 1t, unless there Is something that needs professional help, such as teeth or persistent eruptions. Cleanliness is all a child needs. Children are all lovely.

Today salmon are the most widely
known of all the game fishes. More
than 100 species are described. To
mention salmon to an angler is to
bring instantly to his mind the out
doors, freedom from cares, the pull Of
a gamey fish full of pep and deter
mination. worthy of the concentra-
ton of the angler for an hour or more
If necessary to land him.
Since the salmon has such a wide
range, fishermen from all over the
world know of it. We find the silvery
beauty in the waters of both coasts
Of the North Atlantic. So far no one
has been able to learn with certainty
how far beyond the Arctic circle
salmon roam. They have been caught
in Greenland, Iceland, Northern
Scandinavia and Middle Labrador.
They are also caught in Norway,
Sweden and Denmark
In Colonial days salmon were ex-
ceedingly plentiful. Slightly over a
hundred years ago salmon fishing in
Southern New England was a thriv-
ing industry. Cities have been built
along many of the streams and rivers
in which the fish used to spawn.

Canada today has more salmon than
she had 40 years ago.
The life span of this well-known
fish is between, 8 and 10 years. The
larger, more husky ones spend as
much Of their time as possible in the
sea. Bachelors and maiden salmon
in many instances show reluctance
in assuming domestic cares. During
the spawning period salmon do not
grow.
In early spring the mature salmon
appear in their favorite fresh waters
and select perhaps a place for their
eggs. They are at first in the prime
of health and beauty. BY late au-
tumn, after the spawning, they are a

Along the homeward route they
may have encounters with their most

of the new threepenny coins from

to America, where they are considered
antiques. This was the explanation

from West Fife, Scotland. 1t. Col.

gum.
AS a result, it will be unneces-

minor surgical operation-and the
infected soft tissues will be cleared
up through antiseptic applications
and drainage.
Mr.. Roosevelt was in the den

another treatment.

entirely to the soft tissues of the
gum from which an abscessed
tooth was extracted on November

and some drainage.
