Now as he sat in the top of 4 tall
hemlock tree. nursing his fancied
wrongs. his wits were busy trying to
think of some way to get even Nth
his neighbors for laughing at him
when Buster Bear gave him such a
shaking and terrible fright. Getting
even with Buster Bear was quite out
OF the question. He simply couldn't do
it at present any way. He would have
to wait and watch for IN opportunity.
III only Buster stored away theso nuts
Evening star., 1938-10-15

I would find his storehouse and steal
them, and in that way would pay
him back" thought Chatterer. But
the only way that Buster stores up
food is inside his own skin, and there
1t Is quite safe from mischievous ras-
Gals like Chatterer. It was just the
same with most Of the others who were
feasting on those sweet little brown
beechnuts, but presently Chatterer re-
membered that there were two, two
with whom he most Of the time has a
standing quarrel, who have store
houses. These two were his cousins,
Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and
Sammy Jay.
Evening star., 1938-10-15

No sooner did the Chatterer remem-
Der this than he began to plan q
shameful thing. He began to plan
how he might find out where those
storehouses were and then rob them.
Yes, sir, that is what Chatterer be-
gan to plan. The first thing to do was
to spy on Happy Jack and Sammy
Jay. The latter would be the hardest
to follow, because he could fly, so
Chatterer decided that first OF all he
would spy on Happy Jack.
For once he had no desire to use
that unruly tongue Of his. He want
ed above all things to be unheard and
unseen. People Who Do shameful

things always try to do them secretly.
It was so with Chatterer now. He
stole silently from tree to tree, hiding
behind a trunk here or 4 big limb
there, and moving only when he was
quite sure no one was looking in his
direction.
At last he reached a place where he
could look down and see his cousin,
Happy Jack, searching among the
leaves for the sweet little brown nuts.
Some he would eat. but the biggest
and fattest and best he would carry
away. He didn't carry them far, be-
cause he never was gone long enough
for that, ChAt$are9 watched sharply.
Evening star., 1938-10-15

When Happy Jack was busy hunting
for nuts Chatterer stole of in the
direction Happy Jack usually took.
When he'd gone as far as he thought
Happy Jack went he hid and watched.
Presently along came Happy Jack
hurrying as fast as ever he could.
At certain big tree he stopped, looked
this way and that way, then scram-
bled up to a hole in the underside
of big limb. In this he disappeared
for a minute, then reappeared and
scampered back to the beech trees.
Chatterer's eyes sparkled wickedly,
and he chuckled.

PARIS. April 2O.-Premier Edouard

He is convinced that adjustment Of

Premier Daladier's cabinet and
President Albert Lebrun, however, have
given their attention to plan calcu-
lated to loosen the Frenchman's purse
strings by boosting public morale.

the national defense program and the
treasury would need 35,00Q,OO0 900
(sl 1864 900 O00) francs to carry them

DiqestibilitY of Fats

Because of their ability to re-
tard digestion somewhat and thus
give safety value to meal, the
impression has grown up that fats
are difficult" to digest. This re-
suits from confusing the length of
time required for digestion and
the completeness with which a
food is digested.
When "digestibility" is regard
ed in the popular sense of the ease,
comfort and speed with which the
digestive organs carry on their
work, it is conceded that fats in
general retard the secretion of the
gastric juice and thus cause food
to remain longer in the stomach.
On the other hand, most fats
have such high coeficient of
digestibility, that under normal
conditions only about one-twenti-
eth of the fat eaten escapes diges-
ton. Experiments indicate, for ex-
ample, that the coefficient of di-
gestibility of oleomargarine is
9755 per cent.
1t is sometimes enormously
stated that pastry is indigestible.
This statement is without founda-
ton, provided the pastry is made
from a high grade shortening and
is properly baked. Similarly, fried
foods come in for a great deal of
criticism that should not be
charged to the use of fat, but to
incorrect methods of cooking. II
food is properly cooked in fat that
has a high smoking point, there
will be no opportunity for decom-
position products to develop.
