Their legs are very short and are at the very ends of their bodles, 80 that when they stand up they stand almost straight. Their feet are not ‘webbed like the feet of the ducks and the geese and the swans. However, Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. It is taken for granted that baby must have his daily outing. The con- sclentious mother accepts this burden, even if it necessitates pushing & heavy earriage up one cold street and down another. But there are more pleasant and just as efficacious ways of giving baby his alring without putting this rather un- pleasant burden on the shoulders of an overworked mother. When there is an ,outside porch, the outing solves itself; for baby may be bundled up, a hot- water bag tucked into the bottom of the cab to keep his toes warm, the top of the carriage adjusted so that no stray breezes disturb his slumber, and there he can stay for the length of his nap period, morning or afternoon. Any mother who has ever tried this from the tine baby is young is willing to swear that on a day when she feels compelled to keep baby indoors he | sleeps but half as long. and on the porch he sleeps like & log, despite the elatter and rattle of traffic. Barring a porch, the outdoor nap may be managed in this way: Dress the baby in all his woolies, put him in his cab, and wheel him into one of. the bed rooms. Close the door, open all the windows to the top so that there will be a free circulation of air, and let him take his nap there. Of course, you are impatient to ask how cold it must be before such out- door airings are inadvisable, and, being conservative, we'll say the temperature had better not be much below zero. It depends somewhat upon the tempera- tures to which the baby is accustomed. Having once lived in a climate that ran to 20 degrees below zero without being noticeably cold, I am inclined to say that if baby is used to a 10-degree-below gero climate all through the Winter he can &out in it for short periods with- out; the least danger. - There is always the possibility that & nose may freeve, 80 mother had best keep her eye on her offspring. We must keep him warm, of course, and protected from being rained or snowed upon or in the direct current of bitter winds, but such protection is to achieve when baby is sleeping, and he is none the worse for his ex- mflne to the elements. So much of e Winter weather is far from ideal that if we are continually waiting for bright, clear, sunny days, poor baby ‘will be in the house most of the time.

BURGESS along the inside of each toe are lobes, or flaps of skin, which act as webs, 50 Lh? are wonderful swimmers. jow the wings of Dipper the Grebe are narrow. He can move them very swiftly, which means that he can fly very fast, but it takes him some time to get up in the air—that is, he has to get going before he can rise—so, of course, he cannot rise from the land. You see, he cannot run with those little short legs. In order to get up in the air he must rise from the water and get up speed. It is like a fast air- plane. You know, the fastest air- planes have narrow wings and have to get going very fast indeed on the ground before they can rise. It is just 50 with Dipper the Grebe. The approach of Spring had made Dipper impatient to get going, so one day he took it into his head to fly North. He was heading for the Big River where it flows near Farmer Brown's. To reach it from the place where he had started he must fly a Now he thought there would be one or two ponds of open water that he could drop down into for a rest if he felt tired. He was mistaken. It happened that the ice had not_yet left those ponds. By the time he reached the last one he was getting very tired. However, there was nothing to_do but to keep on. With every swift stroke of those wings Dipper felt more and more tired. He began to worry. Would he be able to reach the Big River before his wings gave out? If he didn't reach it, what would become of him? Anxiously he strained his eyes for a glimpse of the Big River. At last he saw it. It was just a silver line far away in the dis- tance, but he knew what it was. The sight of it gave him new courage. Dipper is not one to give up easily. His wings ached so that it seemed as if he could not take another stroke with them. Still he kept on. Now he could see the Big River clearly. With every stroke of his wings it drew nearer. At last he had reached the edge of the Green Meadows. If he could just get across the Green Meadows it would be enough. But he couldn't. His wings refused to beat any longer. Down, down, down he came and landed with a thump on the Green Meadows. And never in all his life had Dipper felt quite so helpless as he felt then. (Copyrizht, 1930.) Beaten by Cromwell at Worcester, Charles II fled to the woods of Boscobel, where Lord Derby bade him seek the five Peverell brothers—William, Hum- frey, Richard, John and George. These humble yeomen, said Derby, would pro- tect him and help him to escape to safety. ‘The Peverells cropped Charles’ black love-locks short and dressed him in a leathern doublet, a threadbare, green jerkin, capacious, gray breeches and a steeple-crowned hat. Thus attired, his majesty seemed only a simple wood- man. After several days of hiding, he set out with Richard Peverell, hoping to make his way to the Welch coast, where hip might be found that would carry im to France. “There is a Mr. Wolfe at Madelay,” said Richare 'who may help you. He and he has a number of 1s a Catholic, places for concealing the poor, hunted priests.” “Lead me there,” said the King. They set off at 9 in the evening. Between 12 and 1 o'clock they came to Evelyn, where the road passed over a bridge hard by the village mill. Richard heard voices. He leaned close to Charles and whispered: “Be silent, sir, lest your talk betray you.

Indeed, at that very moment his mill was filled with refugee followers of Charles II. But how were Charles and Richard Peverell to know this? And how was the miller, who heard them passing, and came to the door, to guess that one of these humble fellows was his King? _ As he stood in the door, his white DON’'T WORRY about pyorrhea— PREVENT IT LitEle Men Who Balked Big Men Miller of Evelyn Upset Charles II's Plan of Escape From Cromwell.

Ideal Statesman. people able men, such as fear God; men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them.”—Ex., xvili.21. The text is & part of the sagacious ad- | vice Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, {gave him about the sort of men he | should select to be his lieutenants in governing the children of Israel. N where in all historic literature do |find a loftier conception of statesman- |ship. Jethro's idea for the rulers of these ancient wanderers in the wilder- | ness is the ideal of what is needed for | modern statesmen. | ‘This ideal calls, first, for “ |or, as the original has it, strength.” The statesman must be a man of ability, a man intellectually | qualified for leadership and to grapple with the problems of state. He must be a man of strong personality, able to command the respect and confidence of his constituents. “Such as fear God"—here is indi- cated the next qualification. Whatever natural endowment the statesman has, it must be heightened, deepened, en- larged and purified by & deep and vital religious convictien. Without re- ligion governments cannot endure. A Godless leadership, therefore, is a most perilous thing for a nation. “Men of truth”—that tells of still another need for men who direct the affairs of a nation. He who would guide a nation must seek to know the | truth of things, and, knowing the truth, must render thereto the utmost allegi- ance. True statesmenship requires fidel- ity to truth and convictions. “Hating covetousness,” or, as it might !be termed, “unjust gain"—this is the final requirement Jethro's ideal calls for.

Rogues!” In the darkness it seemed that armed men were chasing them. They ran and ran— uselessly, for no one followed. ‘Toward daybreak they reached Made- lay. Mr. Wolfe told Charles it was use- less to go further. To reach the Welsh coast he must cross the River Severn. Its banks were heavily patrolled. Charles and Peverell hid in Mr. Wolfe’s hayloft all day. That nlml they re- traced their steps to Boscobel woods. When they came to the stream at Evelyn, they left the road, lest they should encounter the miller. “We must go upstream and cross without a bridge,” said the King. “*Tis & scurvy river,” replied Richard, “and I cannot swim.” Charles undertook to convoy his com- panion. Before daybreak they were once more back in Boscobel woods and Charles was puzzling out & new way to get to France. at Evelyn, the n;ul;r . Meantime, heartily congratulated himself that had driven away all suspicious char- acters. He did not know that in rout- ing the two prowlers in the night he had thwarted the escape of his King. Had Charles been reunited with the fugutives in the mill, there were many there who would have been able, easily, to smuggle him to safety. As it was, he had many hairbreadth escapes before he finally got out of England. (Copyrisht, 1930. As LoxG as The Danger Line keeps healthy, you will not have pyorrhea.

From time to time I give | these popular diets—recently, for in-| stance, we had the 18-day Hollywood | diet. But in the end I come back to | the calorie system of dieting as being | the most satisfactory, for you can then | eat the foods you like best and the foods that agree with you best, so long as you do not eat more than a certain caloric amount. On the whole, a woman who either has = sedentary occupation, such as stenography, or who makes little physt cal effort, needs between 2,000 and 2,200 calories, Women who stand or walk & good deal or do general housework need 2,300 to 2500. Women who do very hard work, continued scrubbing, gar- dening and so on, from 2,500 to 2,800. On this amount of food the proper weight is maintained, unless there is bad action of the thyroid gland, in which case a doctor has to be consulted. Five hundred calories amount to about two ounces of fat. If you cut out 500 calories from your diet every day you wouldn’t notice it much, and by re- ducing two ounces & day you would lose nearly 50 pounds by the end of the year. You must, of course, have a list of caloric values. Or you can do it this way: One lump of sugar is 25 calories. Most people drink at least four cups of tea or coffee a day, so by eliminating sugar 100 cal- ories is taken off. One slice of bread is 100 calories. Suppose you ate no bread, you would eliminate at least 300 calories | that way, because you must eat at least one slice of bread per meal. Half an ounce of butter is 100 calories. The average serving of butter comes to a bit more than 100. If you eliminated butter on your bread and ate it dry you would save about 400 calories a day. BEAUTY CHATS J. B.

Today in Washington History | BY DONALD A. CRAIG. March 18, 1856.—Willlam Dougherty, until recently the superintendent in charge of the work on the Washington Monument, issued a spicy statement today, playing his respects in anything but mild language to those who a short time ago took possession of the affairs of the Washington Monument Society. “In the National Intelligencer of the 1st instant,” says Mr. Dougherty, “is blished the report of the Know Noth- board of managers of the Washing- ton National Monument for the past year, in which, after acknowledging the ! complete failure on their part to carry on the work, they endeavor to shield themselvse by patching up a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end, and whiningly complain that the unfortu- | nate publication (as they term it) by the board was believed by their own party in preference to their statement, and caused the subscriptions that had been made to their councils to be withheld. * * * “After lamenting over the unhappy | differences of opinion between them- selves and the old board as to the le- | lity of their election, they state they ve been unable to discover what| agents are at work, or have been au- | thorized to collect funds. For this as- sertion they have no excuse whatever. They knew when they uttered it that it | was untrue. The record of every person who had ever been appointed to collect | funds, together with the bonds of his | securities, are now, and have been, in | their possession since the time they! fraudulently obtained control of the work, * * * | “Further, they state that they found | the tools and machinery in an imperfect state and material on hand insufficient even for two courses of marble and that the blue stone was insufficient in quan- | tity and defective in quality. | “At the time they obtained control of the Monument the machinery and tools were in perfect order and in condition for use at any moment, with the excep. tion of a line of shafting used for driv- ing the saws, which was loaned by old board to the Mechanics Institute.” Mr. Dougherty denies various other allegations and adds: “If, as they assert, they took up some of the blue rock in the interior on ac- count of the work being defective, I am quite sure they made it worse instead| of better. The masonry in the Monu- ment is universally admitted to be the best piece of work of its kind in the United States.” Dark Cake.
