Striped Chipmunk’s New Doorway. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Bometimes, as I have proved by test, A thing in sight is hidden best. —Striped Chipmunk. Striped Cipmunk, as merry-hearted a iittle chap as ever lived, is quite as smart as any of his neighbors and a little ymarter than some of them. He has to be. cat from Farmer Brown's, has spent many useless hours trying to catch him. Probably she will waste many more hours in just the same way. Reddy Fox has tried all sorts of tricks to catch Striped Chipmunk, but every one has failed. Several members of the Hawk family have been bitterly disappointed just when they were sure they were going to have a Chip- munk dinner. Yes, sir, Striped Chip- munk is smart. When he was digging his way out of his home after being made a pris- oner there b¥ the lightning in the Great Storm ¥(it blocked his tunnel with a great stone from the old wall) he didn’t know just where he would come out. All he could do was to dig and dig along underground until he thought he was far enough to be clear of everything and then turn up and dig his way to the surface and so out. He didn’t much care where he came out. He didn’t intend to use that tun- nel for the regular entrance to his home anyway. Once out he could look things over and plan a new tunnel, with the doorway carefully hidden under the old stone wall, just as the PETER LOOKED CAREFULLY ALONG BOTH SIDES OF THAT OLD STONE WALL. old one had beer. Then he could fill up the entrance to this one he was now digging. Still, though he didn’t really care, he probably wouldn't have chosen to come out right where he did had he had any choice in the matter. It was right in the middle of a path that ran along between the trees of the Old Orchard and the old stane wall. Yes, sir, that is where Striped Chipmunk came out, and he was surprised and mnot a little startled. There, with not even a blade a grass to hide it, was the little round doorway which was the anly entrance to his home at psesent. It made Striped Chigmunk nervous. Anybody who happened along that way could see it. It was as plainly in sight as it was possible for it to be. “This will never do. It will never o at all,” thought Striped Chipmunk. “I'll have to get busy right away and dig a new tunnel with a hidden door- way. I will so.” It wasn’t until after Peter Rabbit, as full of curiosity as ever, started to hunt for that new doorway that Striped Chipmunk bcgl.n to suspect *hat that doorway wasn't in such a bad place, after.all. Peter looked care- «fully along both sides of that old stone wall and poked his head in be- tween the stones wherever he could. the Liberty Bell hung in 1 If he were not- he wouldn’t last long. Black Pussy, the RUSSELL BURKE, The Travelog Boy. Presently he was joined By Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Chatterer was s0 small that he could go anywhere in the old wall that Striped Chip: munk could. He made a very thor- ough job of that search for the new doorway. He looked everywhere down under the stones of that old wall. When he came out Chatterer was disappointed and cross. “I don't be- lieve he has a new doorway at all" said he. “I don't believe he was made a prisoner in his home at all. I be- lieve he was somewhere else during that great storm. 1 couldn’t find a sign of hole anywhere. How could he dig a hole and not leave some sand to show where he had been digging?” “I don’t know,” confessed Peter Rabbit. *“Johnny Chuck and Digger the Badger always have a lot of sand on their footsteps. It is mighty funny, mighty funny.” Striped Chipmunk chuckled. And imm tely he began to think better of that new doorway. He thought still better of it when a little later Peter Rabbit hopped along that path and right over that n:']rLdoorwzy ‘without even looking a (Copyright. 1921, by T. W.

This, of course, is more difficult, but a great many pairs of scales have little tables of weights and measures on them. These are compiled by in- surance companies and are thoroughly reliable; the only thing is that their allowance of weight s very generous. If the table says that for your height and age you should weigh 145 pounds, you can be moderately certain that good health and looks will be yours at 136 pounds. If you cannot find one of these charts, send mi letter with self- addressed stal envelope and 1 will send you a copy of mine, which was gotten up by the government during the war. The only thing left is to find out how much you are eating and how much you should eat. You can guess at this if you want to, but the best way 18 to do it scientifically, and for that you should have a knowledge of calories Calories are not as complicated as they sound. They are nothing at all but a unit of measure. They have exactly the same relation to food that a yardstick or a ruler has to feet and inches. A yardstick measures distance, calories measure food value. Calories are only a means,of making the subject simple. It you are gaining weight or if you are maintaining too much weight ou are eating too many calories. Therefore -you will reduce if you eat fewer calories. Mies M.

You are much more sure of being correct if you make a habit of rising and greeting each person who is being introduced to you than if you retain your seat and merely glve a cold recognition.

Summer Squash. ) Squash has much the same general composition and food value as egg- plant, carrots, of beets, although it belongs to a different family of plants. Its dry matter is composed largely of starch and sugar. A cupful of cooked squash contains 100 cal- ories. And it must be remembered that the starch and sugar of these vegetables, if-they are rightly cooked, are presented to the body in_their most digestible and directly valuable form. Summer squash properly cooked |u; one of the most delicately flavored | and deliclous of vegetables.

Boil it in salted water twenty minutes or until soft. Turn it into & cheesecloth over a colander, drain and wring it in the cloth, then mash, and season with salt, pepper and butter. To bake a squash, choose a small one of the white scalloped variety and wash it well. Put it into a covered oaker in a moderate oven and bake it until a knife will plerece the rind easily. Then split it, remove seeds and stringy portion, sprinkle with salt and pepper, spread with butter and serve on the shell. If preferred, split the squash with a very sharp knife before cooking, remove the seeds and stringy part, spread a ta- blespoonful of butter and one of mo- lasses on each half, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook the halves on the shell in the baker, keeping the baker covered for half an hour, after- ward allowicg the squash to brown a little.
