Of course, Peter had to admit that he didn't know. “But you wouldn't find me being im- posed on in any such manner. Mrs. Peter never would get a chance to unload her plain duty on me in any such manner,” boasted Peter. “It is a mother’s business to bring up and care | for children.” “Perhaps,” replied Teeter, think it is a father’s business, too.

It just happened that Peter ran over for a call on Teeter the very day the eggs hatched. Teeter was too anxious and excited to give Peter any atten- tion whatever. He sometimes wished Mrs. Teeter had remained to Telieve him during the long days and nights he had had to keep those eggs warm, leaving them only long enough 1o hurriedly pick up enough food. It would have been a great relief to have her help then. But now he needed her more, much more. The four fuzzy bables that had hatched from those eggs were lively midgets and the first out of the shell was ready and eager to run about before the fourth was hatched. ‘They were all in the nest when Peter Wrrived, but his arrival startled and before his eyes . they uumnw;&anddhm,m had been hunting food, but you may be sure he wasn't far away.

HIS Summer I hope you will have the pleasure of watching a humming bird. If you do, most likely it will be at a place where there are flowers. Humming birds take nectar from flowers, and they also eat insects which are in search of the very same nectar. More than 450 kinds of humming birds are known. They differ greatly in size, and to some extent in habits. They are found as far north as Alaska and as far south as Argentina! The giant hummer of the Andes Mountains grows to a length of eight and a half inches. Its head is larger than the whole body of one of its very small relatives. On the Island of Jamaica, the “Ver- vian” humming bird is found. Its length is only two and a half inches, and the inside of its nest is only three- fourths of an inch wide. The eggs laid A HUMMING BIRD. by this bird are less than one-third of an inch long. Ruby-throated humming birds found in the United States and Southern Canada, are among the other tiny mem- bers of this family. The eggs which they place in their little nests are about of peas. um” is not a song. It comes from fast motion of the wings. Hum-| ming birds hover in the air, flapping | their wings after the manner of some | insects. It has been estimated that a| humming bird makes 500 wing strokes per minute. Most humming birds are bright- colored, and may remind us of the| flowers from which they sip nectar; but | the “hermit hummer” of Brazl hu} very plain plumage. Hermit hum- mers live in deep forests and do not visit flowers. Their food is made uj of insects which they find on the bark | and leaves of trees. Ruby-throated humming birds are noted for their power in fighting. What | they lack in size, they make up for in| speed. If a hawk—looking for eggs or | young—comes near the nest of these little birds, it is more than likely that he will change his plans, under pres- long, sharp bills. ature” section of your scrap- UNCLE RAY. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1933 % |DorothyDix| & Choose Man Who Performs as Well as Promises, Who Is Warm-Hearted and Shows Kindness. PORWARD-LOOKING girl asks me how she can tell beforehan what wAfi of husband l‘;:y will make. There is no infallible test that you can apply to a youth that will show whether he is good material or not. Trying to forecast a marriage is about as uncertain as trying to forecast the weather. There are times when all signs fail. Sometimes it rains when all the indications were for fair and warmer, and sometimes it clears up when we started out in our galoshes and raincoat and with an umbrella. And it is the same with marriage. SO you never can tell absolutely before marriage whether you are going to spend the balance of your life burning incense before Lady Luck for sending you the husband she did, or wondering what on earth made you do it, and where the fool killer was on your wedding day that he didn't get you. Still and all, there are certain ‘manifestations of character that every man displays. For one thing, a girl is wise to note whether he is a promiser or a performer. Beware the man who is always going to do things. He never does them. So if you want a husband you can rely on and who will be a good provider, pick out a young man who has already proved that he has the industry and ability to hold down a good job and get along in the world. A 'HEN sample a man'’s disposition, because that is what you have to live with and your whole future happiness is going to depend on whether your husband is grouchy or good-natured. Some of the best men in the world are the meanest husbands. There is many a wife who would trade off a husband who is as sober as the town pump so she could have some peace and pleasure at home. 1f the boy friend is jealous and suspicious and abusive; if he is tyran- nical and feels that he has a right to boss you even before marriage; if he is critical of everything you do; if he is glum and gloomy and has to be wheedled out of moods, pass him up, no matter how good looking he is or what a peachy dancer. ARRIAGE doesn't cure & man’s faults. It only emphasizes them and gives him free rein to indulge in them, and iong before your silver wedding day you can get mighty tired of furnishing alibis to a green-eyed husband. or trying to chirk up Gloomy Gus, or walking on eggs in an attempt to keep from doing or saying something that will explode a temper that is always set and ready to go off. The greatest virtue that any man can have as a husband is being easy to live with. So for a life partner choose a youth who is amiable and good-natured and jolly, who takes life philosophically, who is satisfled with you as you are, who believes that you are a woman of honor who can be trusted and who isn't always spying on you or putting the worst inter- pretation on everything you do, and who is broad-minded enough to think that even a married woman-has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. \ OBSE’RVE how a man handles his money, because your well being is involved in that. If he is extravagant and spends more than he can afford, beware. If he takes you to too expensive places of amusement and gives you too costly gifts; if he throws his money about to .waiters in restaurants and taxicab drivers: if he can never say “no” to a borrower, think twice before you marry him. No woman can sew up the holes in a waster’s pockets. If you marry a spender apd one who likes to pose as a rich man, you'll spend your life in poverty flats and you will wear a last year's bird's nest on your head because your husband has just subscribed for a floral wreath to be sent to the dog catcher’s funeral, or joined the amalgamated order of easy marks. . QQUALLY bad -is it to marry a tightwad whom you will have to chloroform in order to the market money. So let your selection be a youth who spends freely but not extravagantly, who doesn't either carry his roll where anybody can get it, or have a Yale lock on his pocketbook. But, above demonstrative, out the man with kindness td the world and you will make no mistake.

They play a stronger game { in sports, have greater endurance for their work. They use coffee freely as a stimu- lant. Yes. But some folks whisper, not everybody can benefit by it. Coffee makes us nervous. Keeps us awake at night. Gives us indigestion. Science was interested. Why this difference ? ‘Then research workers carefully analyzed coffee. This is their answer to the whole problem. Fresh coflee is perfectly safe to drink and - SONNYSAYINGS - used to. The ability to recali certain items of experience does decline.

Naturally they require no cultivating and no spraying. A cement pool is inexpensive, but water lilies can be ,rown successfully in tubs or half barrels. A rubber pool now on the market can be set into the ground with a little prepa- ration anywhere in the garden. Running water is not necessary. It is better to replace the water a little at a time as it evaporates, for draining and refilling the pools is injurious to the plants. There will be no danger of mos- quitoes breeding in the pools if a few goldfish are kept in them. ‘The pools should be 2 feet deep when finished so that the water may stand about a foot above the containers holding the lilies.
