First Auto Fiend: ''Wadja get today?” Second Idkewis«: "Aw, nothin' except l kid on a bike and a blind man.” It was Raggedy Ann who thought of the scheme to change aprons with Betsy Bonnet String so that if they were captured by the bottle imp and the Geewhiliker, they would be able to escape. So, when the bffttle imp and the Geewhilliker locked them in the closets, all Raggedy Ann had to do, wa.s to shake the magic apron and out came a key to the door, and she and Raggedy Andy then let Betsy Bonnet String out of another closet. When they left the bottle Imp’s home, our friends ran in a different direction than that taken by the bot tle imp and the Geewhiliker and they ran and ran until they had to sit down and rest. "Now, I believe I had better give you back your magic apron,” Rag gedy Ann said as she handed the magic apron to Betsy Bonnet String. Now, when the bottle imp and tho Geewhiliker left the bottle Imp’s house they had told Betsy Bonnet String that they would go visit rela tives of the Geewhiliker for a week. But this was not true, because the only relative the Geewhiliker has is the Tooack Quee and the Tooaek Queo never speaks to the Geewhiliker. And so, as they did not have any relatives to visit tho bottle imp and the Gee whiliker just wandered around in the deep, deep woods until they came to Then They Peeped Out of the Holo. a large hollow tree. Then they wont Inside to take a nap. It is funny how things turn out sometimes. That hol low tree was the very same tree under which the Raggedys and Betsy Bon net String stopped to rest after run ning so long. And just as Raggedy Ann handed the magic apron to Betsy Bonnet String the bottle imp awakened. "Were you talking?” he asked the Geewhiliker, "No!” the Geewhiliker replied. Then they peeped out of the hole and saw Betsy Bonnet String and the Rag gedys sitting right there. The bouie imp and the Geewhiliker jumped right out and caught Betsy Bonnet String. "We do not know how you managed to escape from the stuffy closets, they said to her and the Raggedys, "hut you shan’t escape when we get ycu home this time!” And they started dragging Betsy Bonnet String away. - Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Ar.dy pulled the other way as hard as they could but the bottle imp and the Geewhiliker were strong. But just as they turned a bend in the path a queer looking creature jumped right in front of them. “Stop!" he cried. “Its my cousin, the Tooack Quee!" the Geewhiliker cried as he started to run. "I shall stay and fight him!” the bottle imp cried. “And I shall stay and fight you too!’ the Tooack Quee said. Raggedy Andy put a chip upon the Tooack Quee’s shoulder, but the bottle imp was afraid to knock it oif. Then Raggedy Andy put a chip upon the bottle imp's shoulder and the Tooack Quee knocked it off right away. “iJcar me," the bottle imp cried, "if he is not afraid to knock the chip ofi! my shoulder he must be able to flgnt real good, so I guess I’ll run!” und lie did. "Mow!" said the Tooack Quee, "come Into my house and have din ner for you must be hungry.” So the Raggedys and Betsy Bonnet String went into the Tooack Quee’s house and had the nicest dinner you ever saw. BELLS OF NOTRE DAME TO BE MOTOR OPERATED International News Service. Paris.—New things for old—even old Notre Dame feels she must he modern and up to date. An electric motor Is now being installed In the great towers which will ring the four great bells of the historic cathedral peal and take the place of the human bell ringers. Officially, the bell ringer of Notre Dame de Paris is a woman who in herited the position from a long lino of ringers, but the work is too heavy for a woman and she is obliged to employ men. Since the beginning of the war in 1914 the bells have not been heard very often except for im portant funerals and on big fete da-, s. If the motor works well there will likely be more tunes heard around the old lie de la Cite. The new Income tax law in Soviet Rus sia provides that all incomes of more than $100 a month will pay 80 jier cent, tax on the excess. This tax will be a bur den to but few people. The maximum salary for government officials Is 2,600, 000,000 rubles per month, but when translated into real money It amounts to but $52. These observations are In teresting from two points of view. They raise the question whether those seek ing to communize the United Statees are willing to pay 80 per cent, of all they make in excess of $100 a month to the government, Yh^y also demonstrate the amazing debauchery of Russian finance when 2,600,000,000 rubles amounts to ap proximately the weekly wage of an American papsrhanger. , I Hr.

Pills and salts give temporary relief from constipation only at tho expense of permanent Injury, says an eminent medical authority. Science has found a newer, better way—a means as simple as Nature it self. In perfect health a natural lubricant keeps the food waste soft and moving. But when constipation exists this natural lubricant Is not sufficient. Doctors prescribe Nujol because it acts like this natural lubricant and thus secures regular bowel movements by Nature’s own method—lubrication. As Nujol Is not a medicine or laxa tive, It cannot gripe and, like pure water, It is harmless and pleasant. Nujol Is used in leading hospitals. Get a bottle from your druggist today.—Advertisement.

And yet millions of us think our most satisfying en deavor Is to “kill time.” Couldn’t we kill time quite as eflfec- j tlvely by studying some of the secrets of nature? Here are men who have been doing Intellectual stunts in pry ing into those secrets. For want of “nothin’ else to do,” why can’t we all dabble a little in the same pastime?
