Nv LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Once you begin investigating the
ways and wiles of many of Nature S
Children you find they possess some
very humanlike traits. Take the
rainbow darter, a wee fish not more
than 21a inches long, which actually
enjoys teasing our well-known water
boatman! This, we are told by an
authority, is one of the least harm
full tricks. In action, it was seen to
poke its face over a stone where
many water boatmen were in the
habit of earning their living. The
darter would lie as still as the rock
upon which he rested until water
boatman came along. With care and
precision the wee rascal would catch
the large neighbor by one of his
legs and hold fast, releasing the
frantic victim when it seemed best
to do so. The boatman, upon re-
gaining its freedom, would soon
forget the ordeal and come within
reach of the darter, which promptly
seized him by the leg again. This
was repeated several times until the

the vicinity of the stone and swan

David Humphrey Storer, from
Massachusetts, saw for the first
time the rainbow darter in the
year 1845 and not only gave to the
small fish its name but described 1t
and some of its habits. The Fox
River in Illinois had many of these
small fish in it.
One of the fascinating records
about this darter is one in which
the fish had pleasant role. 1t
seems that when the Civil War
broke out many people were look
ing for some sign or omen which
would assure them on which side
the "stars in their courses" were
fighting. Some men resting be-
side Clear Creek, a small brook

served a purpose by making the
men who had never seen them take
heart. Some named the darter the
soldier fish, and by this 1t is often
called.
This fish is the gayest of all the
darters. He is actually gaudy. There
are about IL indigo blue bars run
ming obliquely downward and back
ward on the sides of the chubby
body. There are bright orange spots
in the spaces between. The fins are
highly decorative - deep orange,
edged with blue, on the caudel fin,
orange, with deep blue, on the
anel fin, and the ventrals deep
indigo, while the dorset fins are
crimson at the base, with bril-
liant orange at the tip. Cheeks are

and found throughout the northern
parts of the Mississippi Valley. They

According to Jordon, the rainbow

trangled from her husband two years, said she had planned to marry Lorenz as soon as she could obtain a divorce.
 The first information of Appelts whereabouts after the shooting came from his brother, Sergeant Irwin Appelt of Detroit police. Ser geant Appelt said his brother tele- phoned him from Bloomington, H., admitting the shooting and asking for money.
 Last night, police received a re- port that Appelt had visited rela- tives and friends in the vicinity of Effingham, H., and had threatened to kill himself. State police were told that he had left his automobile at the farm of an uncle, Helmuth Schultz, 10 miles northwest of Ef- fingham. Schults son, Herbert, was said to have driven Appelt to De- catur, where he intended to take a Wabash train back to Chicago.
 Chicago police were sent to the railroad this morning but Appelt did not arrive.
 Appelt's divorce case was sched- uled to come up tomorrow. His at- torney said he would defend him in

Smokers Pay Penalty! Carelessness Cause of Many Serious Incidents, Frequently Death-Smoking in Bed Chief Rea-
 son - Statistics on Burns Cited.

More than @ quarter of all men who die from burns suffered in the home are the victims of care- less smoking, according to 0 study by the statisticians of the Metro- politan Life Insurance Company. Most of these are men who have dozed of in bed or in an arm- chair while smoking Q cigarette or pipe.
 This study reveals that while twice as many women as men die as a result of burns received in home accidents in the United States, only s per cent of the deaths from this cause among in- sured women result from smoking, which is compared to 26.7 per cent from the same cause among men.
 900 Deaths Yearly
 Among males aged l5 and over, burns of all sorts in American homes take an annual toll of about 900 lives. According to the insurance company's experience careless smoking is the chief cause of such fatalities, account ing for more than 26 per cent of the deaths. This has caused the statisticians to comment:
 Smoking in bed Is a little short of criminal, since 1t menaces not only the life of the smoker, but the lives of his family and his neighbors as well. In many fatal cases growing out of this practice, the accident was caused by the man falling asleep with a lighted cigarette in his mouth.

Even dozing of while sitting in Q chair and smoking, IS fraught with danger. A number of the fatal burns were thus incur red by the victim falling asleep, dropping his cigarette and setting fire to either his clothes or his chair. Tn other instances, the vic- time set his bathrobe or other clothing on fire while lighting 8 cigarette or pipe. Burning tobacco falling from a lighted pipe onto the smoker also caused several cases of fatal burns"
 F1ammable Liquids
 Flammable liquids were found to have caused one sixth of the deaths. In many of these cases the victim was throwing kerosene or gasoline on @ fire to light or to accelerate combustion. Others were fatally burned by gasoline explos- ions while working on or near their automobiles in the family garage. Some deaths resulted be- cause men did not understand the use, or were careless in the use of gasoline blow torches.
 "The practical joker contribu- tes his unenviable share to the fatal burns" the statisticians point out. "A middle-aged man picked up a jar thinking it con- tained water, and poured the con- tents over the head of c friend, who was holding a lighted cigar cite in his hand. The jar, how ever, contained gasoline. The gas- oline blazed, the smokers clothes caught fire, and his death ensued."

TkIE did two new things in this
 w years Ford that women tell us make all the difference in the world to them.
 First, we made the car much bigger. Front seating width was in- creased as much as seven inches. Wheelbase was heightened. Bodies were both heightened and widened. The Ford car now exceeds every- thing in its price field in total inside length |. . in total seating width ... and in windshield and window area. You ride in lots of room ... and you take in all the view!
 And you ride in really restful comfort, too. For our other big i'm provement this year was an entirely new Ford ride. A soft and quiet ride, on city street or country road, that many people tell us is something new in cars at any price!
 So for room and ride and style ...as for handling ease and thrift. there's a car at your Ford Dealers that's worth taking the whole family to see before you decide on any car this yearl
