WOMEN’ Bedtime Mrs. Quack Is Honest. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Admit an error and you'll find Foursell more comforiable irf mind. RS. QUACK the Mallard Duck was thoroughly upset. Never in all her life had she been more upset. She had just discovered that Blacky the Crow had found her nest and had stolen some of her eggs. She knew that sooner or later he would get the rest of those “WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK | HERE?” ASKED MR. QUACK. | | eggs. It upset her the more because she had felt that this was one of the best-hidden nests she had ever had. She really hadn't worried about that nest “I may as well leave it now as later,” she said to herself. “There isn't the least use in trying to hatch out the eggs that are left. & family this year I'll have to build another nest and lay more eggs. It is the only way.” With a last look at the nest iff the top of a low old stump hidden in a thicket, Mrs. Quack started for the water. She made no effort this time not to be seen. She didn’t care. She had no secret now. On the edge of the water she took to her wings and flew down to the lower pond of Paddy the Beaver, where she was sure she would find Mr. Quack. Sometimes she swam down the canal that con- nected Paddy's two ponds, but this time she was in too much of a hurry. She wanted to tell Mr. Quack what had happened. “What are you doing back here?” | asked Mr. Quack somewhat sharply. “Why aren’t you attending to your home duties?” “I haven't any home duties just now,” replied Mrs. Quack in a low voice. Mr. Quack looked at her sharply and saw the sorrowful and worried expression on her face. “What do you mean?” he demanded. - “Our nest has been found and three eggs taken,” replied Mrs. Quack sor- Towfully. “Who did that?" snapped Mr. Quack angrily. “Blacky Quack. “Did you see him do it?" asked Mr. Quack. “No,"” replied Mrs. Quack. “I didn't have to. I heard him cawing in the distance. and I could tell by the sound of his voice that was feeling very good over something. All I had to do was to look at the broken eggs to know who had done it.” “Did he break them all?” asked Mr. Quack. ‘No.” said Mrs. Quack, “but he will. You know that as well as I do. If you did your share it might be different.” “What do you mean by that?” de- manded Mr. Quack. “I mean that if you sat on the eggs while I went to eat, Blacky would the Crow,” replied Mrs. | Blacky the Crow has found my eggs | Wood Duck indignantly. S FEATURES. Stories have no chance to get them,” retorted Mrs. Quack. ““That isn't my job; that's your job,” declared Mr. Quack. “You mean you are too selfish to be willing to help at a time like this?” retorted Mrs. Quack. “Have it your own way,” replied Mr. Quack. “I never did sit on eggs, and I don't intend to begin now.” Just then Mrs. Wood Duck alighted on the water near them and swam over toward them. She noticed that something was wrong. “You look rather upset, my dear,” said she to Mrs. Quack. “I am,” replied Mrs. Quack. “I am very much upset, It is hard to admit it, but you were right, my dear, when you said that a hole in a tree is a safer place for a nest than is the ground of any open place near it. and already taken three.” [ “The black thief!” exclaimed Mrs. (Copyright, 1935.) .

Baskerville 'HIS surname is of French origin and is traced to the parish of Bacqueville, anciently spelled Basque- ville, near the seaport town of Dieppe. The tamily was introduced into Eng- land by Martels de Basqueville, who was one of the followers of William the Congqueror, and fought in the Bat- tle of Hastings in 1066. One of his descendants, who served as butler to King Stephen, used the name of Martel. The coat of arms here displayed was borne to America by John Baskerville, who came to Virginia and settled in York County prior to 1667. He par- ticipated in the public affairs of his time, serving as clerk of the court, and in other civil capacities. He married Mary, the daughter of Col. William Barber of York County. Some of their descendants settled in Cumber- land County. while others moved into neighboring States. John, the founder of the line, was born in 1635, the fifth child of John and Magdelen Baskerville, of Goosetry. Cheshire, England. The line can be traced to John de Baskerville, knight of Old Withington. A. D. 1266. (Copyright, 19: ) Arms Tax to Help Farmers.

Men’s Fashions JHILE a man's wardrobe is not a cause for extravagance nowadays that factor is all the more reason why a person should give serious consid- eration to the selection of his clothes. A man is still judged on first acquaint- | ance almost entirely by his appearance ! and it is still vital that he attire him- | self in such a way as to make that ap- | pearance a favorable one. Every man | should give as much thought to the balancing of his wardrobe as he does to the balancing of his budget, and it is hardly necessary to point out that the two are closely related. This chart, designed for the $20-a- | week man, provides for an exp~adi- ture of about 10 per cent of his in- come on clothes. The chart is also suitable for the young <ollege man who has about $100 to spend annually on his wardrobe. This is a modest | proportion, but by the exercise of dis- crimination and good taste, a man can | acquire & hansome wardrobe in a few years’ time. The neckties, underwear shirts, socks, gloves and pajamas indi- cated on this chart are in the mini- mum quantity required and a similar quantity of each should be purchased annually in order to replace outworn or outmoded items. Basic Wardrobes. Select One. Blue double-treasted overcoat. Brown tweed reversible over- coat. Gray herringbone overcoat. Select One. Blue single-breasted or double- breasted suit.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY, RIENDLINESS is.one of the grosbeak's endearing qualities. He is appreciative, too; seem- ingly, your attitude toward him is fully understood. He has very at- tractive cousins you havs already met —in this column, at least—the lovely rose-breasted and the black-headed, also the blue. All grosbeaks are members of the charming finch family. The pine grosbeak (also called pine bullfinch) devotes his time and energy to the cedar and pine trees. He is always gorging himself on the seeds and ber- ries of these trees. So absorbed does | he become in his pleasant occupation | | that not one note escapes him. | | By Autumn he is a very fat bird, | | indeed, and, being so portly, he is| rather inclined to be sluggish and| his ections slow. This is when he is residing in the coniferous forests. For this fellow is known in the coniferous | forests throughout the northern parts |of the Northern Hemisphere. There is no noticeable difference between the Old and New World species. | While the air is far from balmy, In the woods, these beautiful birds are a lovely contrast to the deep greens of the foliage. They race happily about, deeply engrossed in their own affairs. In Bangor, Me., nests have been found around the first of June. The nursery is a few feet from the ground, a sturdy affair, with outer walls built of twigs and rootlets, while the inner ones are of finer materials. There are usually four pale greenish-blue eggs, spotted and blotched with dark brown, and there are lilac shell-spots, During the Winter, the pine gros- beaks come southward. It may be your only opportunity to see the north- ern visitors. in Washington, rare in the Bronx region, and make irregular visits in Boston. In West Virginia they are often seen in great numbers, arriving there about November 8, and remain- ing until April 10. You will notice how closely the form resembles that of the robin, and when on the wing it has a characteristic whistle. ——— Desperate Strength Saves Life. James Shaw of Glasgow, Scotland, found desperate strength when he was trapped by fire in a tiny loft over a workshop with no means of exit. He succeeded after Herculean efforts in breaking down with his bare arms a strong wooden partition separating the loft from an adjoining establishment. The floor of the loft was afire when he broke through to safety. the grosbeak decides it is time to find a mate and begin' housekeeping. this time you would be delighted to hear the lovely, melodious song of the happy suitor. His colors are bright, for his wedding garments are new. You will have no difficulty in iden- tifying him. His general color is a soft, strawberry red, flecked with gray. This color predominates about | the head, under wings and legs. His handsome tail and wings are marked with brown, black and white. Between the shoulders there is a series of markings, too noticeable to escape your eye. The under parts are washed in pale red, merging into a lovely gray green. One glance at his sturdy beak and clear eye is enough to convince you | that he is a bird of determination. | His spouse is clothed in modest slate- brown, giving a general appearance from a distance of & garment of olive-yellow. Her wings and tail have the same color pattern as her mate’s. Her under parts are ash-gray, tinted with brownish-yellow. The offspring, as soon as they lose their natal down, take on the colors of their mother. The sons, when their | wedding date arrives, which is their second birthday, are. of course, those | similar to their father’s. WHY, MARGARET... YOU'VE BEEN CRYING IF YOUVE READ ABOUT IT...

A neighbor heard the chained dog whining and gave the alarm when she saw its peril. Several tried to reach the dog, but were driven off by the bees. 3 A skin of luxurious plexion of fascina- ting charm ... No “rubbing off * or streaking. ..

Piling Ossa on Pelion. . AE ‘THE cost of living climbs steadily as we go on our way to the new order of abundant life,” writes & political commentator, “our | State Legislatures aid in the great trek to Olympus by also increasing taxes—adding their Ossa to the Fed- eral Pelion.” For this colorful metaphor betoken- ing the infl.ction of burden upon bur- | den—or adding insult to injury—we are indebted to an incident related in | the stories of the ancient gods and heroes of Greek mythology. The tale jnvolves the war between the fabled Titans and the gods. ‘While it lasted the giants made things hot for the gods. They made their | mistake and met their Waterloo, how- | ever, when, in a desperate attempt to | climb into heaven, the giants took EMILY POST on anners the mountain Ossa, piled it upon the mountain Pelion and stormed Olympus. This was too much for the gods. Minerva, thoroughly roused, let loose her thunderbolts. And that was the end of the giants. (Copyrignt, 1935.) Women Cycle Across Africa. Two women who cycled across the Sahara Desert and Central Africa re- celved an enthusiastic reception when | they arrived in Pretoria and Johannes- burg. They had been on their way to the cape for six months, The two are Miss Florence Blenkiron, holder of the gold star for being the first woman to circle a track at 100 miles an hour, and Miss Theresa Wallach, who stud- ied engineering in London before mak- ing the trip. In the North they made their journey through hundreds of miles of roadless country.
