Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY,
SHAD BUSH
"A. botryapium) J

In the early spring, long before
any OF its neighbors are awake. the
sf1ad bushaor swamp sugar pear, is
in bloom. The Indians claimed
that the shad bush is the ghost of
shad that came up the rivers to
spawn and never made the return
journey. But the Indians heard the
strange cry of the night hawk and
the weird Earring sounds that oc-
CURED when the bird dropped
through the air and connected the
tree clothed in white with the
sounds that seemed to come from
space.
The shad bush loves damp places
and. for this reason. is said always
to wear white cotton gown over
its limbs and pale green glossy foli-
age in the spring. 1t is absorbent
cotton, too, and prevents the pores
from clogging with the vapors that
arise from the ground in late win
ter when the SHOWS are melting.
Where the shad bush must give
elbow room to more sturdy neigh
bors, it has a rather irregular out
lire. But it is a beautiful shrub
when planted in some favorable re-
treat where there is all the room
it needs.
The white flowers of the shad
bush are quite small and crowded
in short, dense racemes. They are
slightly fragrant and attract the

questions. Then if any harm comes
to them it will not be through any
fault of mine"
There is something in that" said
Peter, looking very thoughtful

holding up a warning hand. Isn't
that Winsome's whistle? Why don't
you ask him where his home is?"
Peter listened. and sure enough he
heard the sweet whistle of Winsome
Bluebird, but just where the sound
came from he couldn't tell for the
life of him. You know. Winsome
Bluebird has way of making his
voice sound long way off when he
is very near, and quite near when
he is a long way off. 1t just seems
to come from everywhere and no
where in particular. Peter listened
with all his might and then he
started off through the Old Orchard
with his head tipped back as he
watched the treetops for a glimpse
OF blue coat. Johnny Chuck
watched and chuckled.
All through the Old orchard
hoped Peter, stopping every few
minutes to look and listen, and all
the time his curiosity grew and
grew and grew. He was so absorbed
in trying to find Winsome Bluebird's
new home that he quite forgot every
thing else. He forgot to watch out
for danger. so he didn't see Black
Pussy creeping up behind him.

Peter turned to see Johnny Chuck

Yes" replied Peter. Tn waiting

I would pay him call this morn

I'm afraid you will wait long

chuckled Johnny Chuck. Z
Peters eyes opened wide with sur
prise. Isn't that his home right up
there?" he demanded. pointing to
the little hole in and out of which
he so often had seen Winsome and
Mrs. Winsome pass.
Johnny shook his head. NO"
said he. Il understand that the old
home isn't good enough for them
this year. They've got new home"
Instantly Peter was all curiosity.

"Where is it?"
Il don't know" replied Johnny
Chuck with a yawn. "It is no busi-
ness of mine where it is, and I
haven't even asked"
But it is somewhere in the Old
Orchard. isn't it?" persisted Peter.

Johnny Chuck. There are some

OF stride, correct weight balance
and proper foot direction. The
first lessons are learned in stock
inged feet and later the students
graduate TO shoes.
Women suffer more from foot
troubles-because of their stylish
high-heeled shoes 49, than men.
Likewise women, especially young
girls of high school age, often
adopt walking affectations in or
der to appear cute" or to get
what they regard as a more fem
mime hip sway.
The favorite trick Of the gen.
tier sex is to take short steps as
if they were always making their
way among closely-packed eggs.
There's more to be lost than
gained through such unnatural
antics, according TO the foot eX-
perts. These forward-tilted pos
lures cause severe aches in the
balls of ones feet and lead to
other disturbances.
Many women also indulge in
kind Of pigeon-toed stance-suf-
fering from the illusion that, If

ed a unique walking School" in
Brooklyn, New York. The pho
tographs on this page show how
they go about teaching men and
women TO walk.
The first step these unusual
instructors take is TO check the
amount of weight that falls on
each foot of the student. Many
persons, il has been discovered,
tread more heavily on either their
right or their left foot-giving
them a port or starboard gait.
The use of a pair of scales, as
shown in one Of the pictures,
helps an instructor to tell just
which foot is carrying the most
weight. Such uneven walkers
often wear out one shoe While the
other remains almost new.
Teaching the student to dis
tribute his or her weight evenly
is lesson number one. This can
be accomplished by following spe-
cial footprints on the floor
footprints that have been spaced
to suit the students height,
weight and leg length.
Instructor Palter contends that
daily practice on these pattern
prints makes for correct length

These affectations, instead of
Affections, can easily be reme-

has been found, usually follows
when a person learns how to
walk properly.
The fact that nine out of ten
Americans over 80 years old have
something wrong with their feet
does not mean that all such citi-
zens are cripples. Some of them
have nothing more serious than
a painful corn.
Not long ago, The American
Weekly published an article by
DR.. Joseph Lelyveld, chairman
of the National Foot Health
Council, in which he gave people
a dozen rules for giving their
feet a break.
Among other things he advised
them to wear comfortable shoes
with a medium-height heel, TO get
stockings that do not cramp the
toes, to exercise the toes every
day by bending them at least
so times over the edge of book
or some similar object, TO rest

IF THE country's podiatrists
have their figures right, only
one American out Of every
1000 knows how TO walk prop
erly. AS a result. nine out of ten
persons over the age of 80 have
something the matter with their
feet.
Nearly everyone has perfect

declared a bill recently enacted by
Congress barred the CIO from the
yards. The bill provided that labor
contracts in operation 80 days or
longer could not be set aside by the
National Labor Relations Board.
In a prepared statement Mr.. De
Shelter said the legislation was
enacted with the cooperation of
the most reactionary and labor
ing Representatives and Senators
in Congress"
1T not only forecloses action ON
the Kaiser case" he added, but pro-
hibits the setting aside of collusive
company-union agreements all over

Mr.. De Shelter indicated the CIO
would not protest a move by the
NLRB to drop its charge that the
AFL-Kaiser agreements were drawn
up illegally.
The NLRB had conducted lengthy
