Unwritten Law Forbids
Meddling With Nature

There seems to be an unwritten
law forbidding man to make too in
innate contacts with any OF nature s
host of wild folk. Tragedy and un-
happiness usually follow when man,
with the best of intentions, substi-
tutes his own association for that Of
the animals own kind. Hand-rais-
ing young western tanager found
helpless as fledgling, is case in
point.
Beautiful Sequoia National park In
California was the setting, and the
park ranger scrupulously followed
the schedule he knew most mother
birds observed, feeding the young
ster, chiefly on insects, every 80
minutes during the daylight hours.
This normal regime brought the
bird to its juvenile period in salts
fyingly healthy state. But its hui
man guardian could not furnish the
stimuli that should have aroused in
it instincts of self-preservation and
animal cunning. Thus the bird
could not protect itself from the
menace that turks in the form of
weasels and squirrels. One after
noon it failed to appear at feeding
time. Search was made. A little
bunch OF bloody, matted feathers
was the only trace OF the little
stranger
Natures memorable law Of oompe-
tition between the species, and the
absence of instruction by APPARENT
Of its own genus in coping with it,
resulted in a hopeless handicap for
the young bird.

Twas This Way.
Cinderella Glass Slipper
By LYLE SPENCER
9 Western Newspaper Union.

CINDERELLA lost one OF her tiny
~ glass slippers at costume ball
and so found her Prince Charming.
Her story is one of the most de-
. lightful fairy tales in the worlds
literature, and it seems a shame to
spoil it. But Cinderella did not go
to the ball wearing glass slippers.
The whole thing came about
through a mistake in translation.
Cinderella's story was originally
translated into English from the
French. In the French version,
Cinderella went to the ball wearing
pantoufles de vair. The word vair
means gray or white fur, like err
mine or miniver. But the transla-
tor mistook it for verre, meaning
glass. 1t isn't nearly SO romantic
the other way, but when you come
to think about it, can you imagine
anyone being able to dance in glass
slippers?
Many other mistakes have crept
into our literature in the same man.
ner. One of our most charming
Christmas carols contains the Bib
hcal quotation, Peace on earth,
good will to men," The line con-
tains a sentiment very appropriate
to the Christmas spirit.
Yet Biblical scholars say it is a
mistranslation from the Greek, and
that in the original version it read,
Peace on earth to men of good
will" At first sight, this does not
appear to be nearly as ,haritable
"a statement as the one we are
accustomed to hearing. But when
one studies it for little while, it
really does seem to make more
sense.

DRY before the meeting of the Michi-

New York.-Blowholes that once

contents.
Ore deposits like the rich Cana

the Espiritu Santo mine in Panama,
we're formed in this way. Gases,
boring their way upward, created
the hole in the everything rock, and
at a later date solutions brought in
minerals, depositing them in the
cracks and crevices of the loose
rock filling the blowhole.

GOOD TASTE TODAY

ask her frankly what to do
about these items.
THE WEDDING RECEPTION
Dear Mrs. Post: Does an invi-
tation to a wedding ceremony in
the garden mean that every one
will expect to stay for the recep-
ton? We can't afford to provide
refreshments for many people, and
really can't ask every one to stay.
A friend tells me that we should
invite only the number we can
have, and send announcements to
the other people. Is this true?
Answer: Your friend is right
because you couldn't ask people to
leave your garden any more than
you could ask them to leave your
house. An invitation to the we'd
ding ceremony in church requires a
separate invitation to the house,
since one leaves the church and
then goes elsewhere. But If people
are at the house or in the gar
den, no extra invitation is included
because 1t is taken for granted
that they are expected to stay.
You will either have to cut your
list of invitations to the cere-
mony, or else prepare for many.
You might remember. however,
that the food can be very frugal.
A fruit punch, wedding cake cut
into small sample pieces, and some
ordinary small cakes to fill in
would cost very little. In short,
people would surely rather be in
vited to very simple provisions
than not to be invited at all Or
impossible to imagine) to be asked
to go home!
