But Lena didn't stay hired long.
She quit to marry Leo and help

they always gave him his ration

Fritz thrived on his diet.

Old man Goldstein dropped by
one Monday to see how the bust

make the first payment by the
end of the month.

Leo was about to say ripe for

"Ah, that was Lena Braun. her

it was funny the old women comes

Now. how did you make Lena mad,
huh? She is a nice girl. She don't
get mad easy. So what did you
do? Get fresh with her?"

I've had"
"Imbecile," said Goldstein. And
it's my bad luck to sell my fine
delicatessen to an IDIOT who hasn't
sense to give, with a big order,
free boloney to a dog. Every day
of my life I gave boloney to Fritz.
No wonder Lena is mad. Maybe
Mrs. Alton is mad, too. For one
little piece of boloney you drive

Leo frowned. Then he bright
ened.

begged. Il got an idea"
Quickly. he snatched an entire
length of bologna, wrapped it
neatly in white paper, garlanded
it with purple string. He tore out
for the penthouse, swore at the
slow service elevator, arrived

and a bibulous nose, opened it. Leo
bowed and wasted on her his best
grin.

Leo's business went we'll. The

have never seen a really red In
dian So far as know, no other per-
son has seen one; but many Indians
have painted their skins red, and even
after the paint is washed off it may
leave reddish shade.
Brown and yellowish-brown are the
usual colors of the Indians skin. Some
are dark enough to look like the cop
per Of wellworn penny. Others are
30 light that their skins may be called
yellow like the Chinese yellow, or olive,
almost like olive-skinned Spaniards.
These differences in coloring were
noted by early white explorers before
there was time for mixing of the races
through marriages between whites and
Indians.
Painting the skin was common all
over South America, as well as in
every part of North America except
among the Eskimos. Some warriors
painted their arms, shoulders and
chests, but it was more usual to paint
only the face. Red was the favorite
coloring, but yellow, orange, blue,
green, purple, black and white were
used Indians who lived near places
where they could obtain iron ores
and copper ores were able to use more
colors than the others. When crushed
into powder and mixed with fat of
animals, the ores made good paints.
Crushed limestone gave white paint.

They took feathers from eagles, wild
turkeys, ravens, ducks, crows, larks,
hawks, blackbirds, jays and orioles.
These were used in making garments,
robes and fans, for decorating baskets
and other purposes.
Among tribes Of the plains, chiefs
and other important men were in the
custom of wearing war bonnets COM
posed of circle of feathers for the
crown Of the head, and = trail Of
feathers hanging down behind. In
some cases each feather in 4 bonnet
stood for bold or important deed
by the one who wore it.
In other tribes q warrior or chief
might wear only one or two feathers
in his hair, and In still other tribes
no feathers adorned the head.
Indians of Virginia kept turkeys
captive in order to use their feathers
when need arose. Capt. John Smith
tells of turkey-feather robes which he
saw natives wearing while he was
making his home at jamestown.

Too Much Valor.

fOr many years We nave recon-
mended the use of pre-emptive bids
on hands containing one very long
suit but little defensive strength. Their
value lies in depriving the opponents
of several rounds of bidding and thus,
if they wish to enter the auction, they
must do so at high and dangerous
range. If they decide that discretion
is the better part of valor and remain
quiescent, they may be fixed" and
lose game or even slam.
The pre-emptive response by the
partner of the opening bidder may
also be made with fine effect, as wit
ness today's hand:

HOT WEATHER FOOD
FACTS ARE GIVEN
Suggestions by the Mary
land State Department
OF Health

If you are anxious to decrease
the discomfort of hot weather
avoid eating foods which stimu-
late the production of heat in the
BODY. Protein foods, such as
meat, fish, eggs and poultry. act
IN this way and so should be TAX
EN- sparingly. Stimulating drinks
such as tea and coffee, and very
cold or iced foods also cause the
BODY to produce more heat. Drinks
like iced tea and iced coffee are
net cooling in their effects for. be-
sides being stimu.ants, they chill
the stomach so suddenly that the
body responds with an emergency
production of heat. To hot wealth
er sufferers they are wolves in
Sleeps clothing.
So watch the kind of things
you eat and drink. On the other
hand the belief that we need less
food in hot than in cold weather
is often untrue. The amount of
food needed by a certain person
depends chiefly on how active he
is physically. If you do the same
kind of work and spend your spare
time in the same way in the sum-
mer as in the winter, you will
need slightly less food when the
mercury climbs. But, if you do
farm work in the summer and
tinker around the house in the
winter, a greater amount of food
will be needed in the summer.
Children who sit at a desk a
large part of every winter dav
and who play hard in the summer
frequently need more food in the
summer than in the winter. MANY
children lose weight in the sum-
mer because they do not eat
enough to meet this increased
need. They require good
breakfast" and a 'hot lunch" inst
as much now as they do in the
winter when We are more prone
to worry over their meals. The
protein foods, which stimulate
heat production in the adult. are
required by the child for growth
AMI so in the child do not cause
extra heat production. Therefore
they need not be limited in the
child's diet.
An adults need for the protect
i've foods remains the same in the
summer as in the winter, so when
because Of heat, you take just a
sandwich for lunch give a thought
to where your vitamins and min
erals are coming from. Include
fruit and vegetables and milk in

When the day is hot, the heat
produced by the body is eliminat-
ed almost entirely by evaporation.
This causes a loss of water and
salt from the body which should
be made up by drinking large
amounts of liquids. Adding salt
to the drinking water replaces
some of the salt lost and helps to
prevent fatigue and heat prostra-
ton. When you are droopy from
the heat, it has a welcome taste.
