Burgess Think quickly, and as aquic But do it with the greatest —0ld Mother M Rusty the Fox Squirrel has been trapped in a hollow tree. He had gone into that hollow tree for a. nap. He knew that it had been the home of some one, but he thought it was deserted. When he awoke, it was to discover that the rightful owner had come home. The rightful owner sat in the doorway with his tail hanging down—a aqueer fail without any hair on it. There was| no way for Rusty to get out except- | ing by means of that doorway. What to do! That tail hung tantalizingly just in front of him. Three times Rusty reached up to bite it, but his courage failed. But the fourth time he eet his teeth quick and hard on the end of that tail. Things happen®y then. The owner of that tail, and the tail itself, dis- appeared from that doorway as if by magic. Rusty followed the tail. He didn't know who might be wait- ing for him outside, hut he hoped that, if he got outside quickly enough, ha would he able to es- cape. So the owner of that tail was barely outside when out popped Rusty. Out popped Rusty and al- most thrust his own face into an- other face—a sharp face that was hissing and snarling and showing a set of the sharpest looking teeth. It was a Possum. Yes, sir, it was a Possum, and he was a thoroughly angry Possum. You could hardly blame him. He moved quickly, but Rusty was even quicker. He whirled around | to the back side of that tree. He was safe. He knew that no Possum | that ever lived could ecatch him once he had his freedom. So he peeped around the front of the tree at that angry Possum. “T heg your rardon,” said Rusty, “I didn’t mean | to.” | “Then what did you do it for?”| demanded the Possum, hringing his tail around so that he could look at the end of it. “What T mean explained Rusty, “that I didn't know any one | lived in this house. If T had known vou lived here, 1 wouldn't thought of going to sleep in here. In fact. T wouldn't have zone in at all. T thought it was deserted and 0 T took a nap in there.” “What's that got to do with bit- ing my tail”" growled t Possum. *0Oh,” P ed R “1 didn’t know whe 1 wanted to get out and 1 was afraid that if 1| let whoever owned tail know that T was there, he might keep me | a prisoner.

Parachute Motif No Credit Disclaims All Praise For Arctic Rescue Work. Oslo, Norway, Nov. 19. UM—Iliss Louise A. Boyd of S8an Francisco, Cal who placed her Arctic hunt. ing, ship the whaler Hobby, at the disposal of searchers for the ill-fated Amundsen party, has little to say about her own part in the rescue dition. Miss Boyd received the Chevalier Cross of the Royal Order of 8t. Olav from King Haakon as a token of gratitude from the Norwegian ration. 8he likes the strenuous life of hunting expeditions in the Arctic. But, she aiys, “we could not put out for a pleasure trip in a region wlere we knew the lives of so many men were at ‘stake. ‘When she left England for Trom- 806 to embark on her hunting trip Miss Boyd learned of the plight of Roald Amypdsen and his compan- ions, who ~ were 1nissing in an air- plane search for lost members of the polar dirigible Ttalia’s crew. So she changed the purpose of her expedition and took on board a party of Norwegian aviators, who went out in search of Amundsen. But hunting was not entirely aban- doned, for it became necessary to kill several polar bears for food. “The credit for the work from the Hobby,” she says. “is all due to the Norwegia officers, Captain Rjiser-Larsen and Lieutenants Lut- zow-Holm and Lambrecht. They, tdgether with the officers of the vessel, showed great endurance, coolness and ability when handling the Hobby between pressing ice- floes, in rough sea and in constant fog." Health Hints BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- geia, the Health Magazine During the last few years a half dozen quacks of assorted varieties scare-head on their advertising mat- ter, “Throw away your glasses.” Like quacks of all varleties, they relied on the power of sug- gestion, knowing that the person who throws away his glasses will make a special effort to see with- out them, and will believe for a while that he actually sees better, unless of course he suffer with such severe grades of nearsighted- ness or astigmatism that he is un- able to see at all without his glasses. Result of Popularity The director of the National So- clety for the Prevention of Blind- ness has pointed out recently that when glasses first came into popu- larity and when eyestrain was a popular topic of conversation, glasses were frequently prescribed when they were not necessary. In many instances the people came for glasses and would feel that they had not been satisfac- torily treated unless a prescription was given to them; in other cases, manufacturers were promoting glasses too strongly. It is perhaps as a result of the reaction against overprescribing that the fakers of today have been able to get a considerable follow- ing of persons to throw away glasses and thus to harm them- selves. / The three chief reasons for wearing glasses are: to protect the eyes, to see well, and to see with- out fatigue. Nowadays in all in- have sought public interest with the [ dustries in which the eyes are likely to be subjected to danger from chips the workers wear spe- cial goggles to prevent injury to the eges. In the case of difficulties of vis- fon, eyeglasses act exactly in the same way as a crutch acts to aid a weakened limb. They lend sup- port sometimes sufficient to per- A little French trotteur gned for wear under Southern skies. ad- vances a most modern interpreta- tion of the mod red, white and blue color scheme by using a new printed silk which has tiny para- chutes for its design.

On the other hand, there are many cases in which the structure of the eye is wrong and in which eyeglasses can never be dispensed with satisfactorily. Beyond all this there are diseases and fqrms of into: from food and bacteria which af- fect the eye particularly. In such cases a correction of the disease or a removal. of the dangerous substance from the diet, will per- mit the eye to overcome f{ts de- ficiency. The chief reason for consulting a physician, at least in ‘ht very beginni: in relationship to a disturbance of the eye is the fact that he will be concerned with the human body as a whole and with its diseases as a whole, rather than with the eyes primarily. On the other hand, the man who is primarily in the business of sell- ing glasses is likely to concern himself only with eye and with prescribing glasses if there is the slightest excuse for such a pre- .scription. Some Good Advice Proper glasses can relieve eve- strain; on the other hand, im- proper glasses may make the con- dition much more severe. “he director of the National Society for the Frevention of Blindness gives definite advice as to the lection of a competent authority on the eyes: “If he keeps a store or has a sign with ‘specialist’ in letters & foot high, or 1if his office looks |like a high-class barber shop, with many machines and few books, | yont can be almost certain that he :u not the man you want for your- gelf or for your children.” “GOR” PAJAMAS A new eet of winter lounging pajamas has a smart little white tuck-in crepe eatin blouse, with el- | bow slesves, and blue flannel trousers cut just like sailor's flar- ing pants ORAN VOGUE Orange promises to he the fa- vorite sports color for Southern wear this vear A pale blue ki mous French artists. which promise great vogue next spring. tweed and silk ensemble orange bandings.
