This was partly because they admired him so and partly because he was always ready for a race or a romp. At the same time| they learned many things from him. It was he who taught them their greatest ‘weakness. “My children,” said he, “you can trust your legs, you can trust your | you can trust your ears, but un- y ur eves may lead you ‘into troudle. As you grow older | You will see many strange things, but don't be too curious. Do you see that | scar on my hip?” The twins nodded. They had often moticed it and wondered about it. “That is there because of curiosity,” continued Fleetfoot. “Curiosity is an Antelope weakness. Whenever you see something strange you are going to be very curious to find out just what it is. ‘This isn't safe ever. When I was young, I once saw a queer thing waving above $he grass. I couldn't make out what it o = | & THEY LEARNED WHERE TO FIND THE BEST FOOD AND THE BEST ‘WATER. was. I stood and looked and looked, and the more I looked the more curious I became. I kept going a little nearer and a little nearer. I forgot everything else. I just had to find out what that queer thing was. I couldn't smell it. I couldn't hear it. But I could see it. I knew I was foolish to keep going nearer to it, but it seemed to me that I just must find out what that queer thing waving above the grass was.” “And did you?” interrupted ome of the twins. “Yes,” replied Fleetfoot. “Yes, I found out and I got this scar. It was a piece of cloth being waved by a man with a terrible fire-stick. Just as I saw what it was there was a flash and a dreadful no's~. and something tore through the skin of my hip and hurt dreadfullv. I didn't wait to find out qore. There was another flash and bang. and something whistled close to my head. By that time I was running away as fast as ever I have run in my life. I was no longer curious, but dreadfully frightened. After that, when- ever I saw anything that made me curious I remembered what had hap- pened and looked another way. ‘Then I was no longer curious.” “But what was it that hit you?” asked one of the round-eyed twins. “And what made the flash and the noise?” “Just what it was I don't understand myself,” replied Fleetfoot. “It was something with which those two-legged creatures called men kill when still a ¢ong way off. They point a stick at you, there is a flash of fire and a bang and something hits you. Our worst enemies are those two-legged creatures with the fire-sticks.

Such work will wait. It will remain to be done at such time as the homemaker decides upon and the delay will not be detrimental. For instance, as far as good clean jed it does not mat- ter a single jota whether washing is done on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday orlnydlyln&hlmkwhenku most convenient. Ironing can be de- layed also without harm, provided the clothes are not left dlmpened down. ‘K’Mn they would mildew fl left too long. omlfll and clean n be shifted ier than their sf wlned days, so long as they are done before the rooms show signs of neglect. These are but a few of the tasks that could be mentioned which can be changed to permit of pleasures being enjoyed. Strange as it may seem to the mind which is imprisoned with the notion of efficiency, work can be shifted and be done equally well at other than their dmmnwd times, but pleasures have to be taken as they come. They refuse to wait. There are occasional exceptions to this rule, but try postponing pleas- ures, and see if they ever result, or if they do, note how the expected joy is sapped from them. ‘The tide, in some places, decides for one when to go swimming. The weather is a great deierminer of times suitable for Summer festivities. Periods when Ruests are visiting in one’s own home or are in accessible proximity, make it imperative to enjoy their companionship between definite dates. Besides these considerations the humor of the days tion spirit sometimes seizes a family, |q' and any little pienic or out-of-doors good times appeals strongly. It is well for a mother to fall in with such moods just as far as possible. Her ability to en- ter into spirit of the occasion does much to bind the cords of family ties in happy unity.

Mothers of growing children, in preparing their foods, should con- sider well the properties foods contain. Lime for bone mak- ing is obtained from milk and carrots, iron for blood from spinach, egg yolk and liver and lean meat, cabbage, raisins and tomatoes; the phosphorus from fish, beans, peas and whole grains.

SOUTHERN PINE BEETLE. Scelytidae Family. UR Christmas trees and pine forests have a very determined enemy. When droughts come l.hll 1l".le bark beetle, known as the southern pine beetle, attacks our weakened trees. About this time you will hear of an outbreak of this deatroyer and, as the family grows quickly to an alarming degree, the dam- age is done before we are aware of the fact they are sgain on the job. Heavy rains and cold weather all but wipe out the family, but, let favorable conditions for them turn up, and we will have another hungry horde in our pine forests. Thousands of trees are killed and millions of dollars are lost through this tiny pine beetle. ‘When you see a pine tree with yel- lowish-green foliage, the chances are the beetle has been domiciled there for two weeks. If the color has turned to a brownish-green we know that the beetle is well established in that tree, and later, when the foliage is a reddish brown, this tells us that the beetle is full-grown, and under the bark may be found his S galleries. About the tree trunk and at the base of the tree little piles of red sawdust are in plain view. A tyngus now develops, which stains the trde to the heartwood. It soon dies and will have practically no marketable value. All over the bark of the tree will be thousands of tiny pin holes. These are its exits. Under the bark the gal- leries mark the surface of the wood. ‘The southern pine beetle is a great flyer Only rain and cold weather keep it \m\ln doors. It is small, rather brown or black, and not over an eighth of an inch lo bores into the upper portions of hell(hy pines as well as sick ones. It bores through the bark and excavates long winding galleries in the shape of an S, all under the living bark and on the surface of the wood. Neat little slmlnnl or alcoves may be found in the galleries where the eggs are placed. They soon hatch and the little greedy grubs hasten to eat their fill of the inner bark. After this they dig little rooms and take a rest. In seven to ten days they turn into full- own beetles and stroll out of the tiny oorways. They look about for & promising tree and set up housekeep- ing. Soon another brood of beetles is eating away on another tree. There are from three to five genera- tions a year, Flight from tree to tree begins in the early Spring. Six months later the pine is dead. Thirty to forty days are needed for the beetle to com- plet! its growth. 'oodpeckers may be seen searching the tree trunk for the juicy grub. They are not numerous enough to give us the desired assistance we need. The infested trees must be felled and burn- ed, and the broods prevented from developing. This is the only way to save our pine forests from this beetle. (Copyright. 1931.)

All the men gathered in one room— all the women in another. And they did not mix all evonlnn. They ate the elaborate food and drank the drinks— but they sat apart like respectable country people in the times of our parents. Men in one room—women in the other. ‘They wore the most extreme clothes, cut low in the back, and many of the women were beautiful. But what do you suppose they talked about? Babies. Servants. Linens. Operations. A little scandal, but not much and not inter- esting. The bables who had arrived ! had second place. First place went to those bables who had not yet arrived. | It was so dull.
