BEDTIME STORY
By THORNTON VV. BURGESS I
A GREAT COMMOTION
A GREAT commotion hud broken
out In the Old Orchard. In
stantly Skimmer the Swallow tlew
over to see what It was all about
and Peter Rabbit followed, llpperty
Up, as fast ns his legs could take
him. He was Just In time to see
Chatterer the Red Squirrel dodging
around the trunk of u tree, first on
one side, then on the other, to avoid
the sharp bills of the angry feath
ered folk who had discovered hint
trying to rob a nest of Its young.
Peter chuckled. "Chatterer Is get
ting Just what Is due him,” he mut
tered. "It reminds me of a time 1
got Into a Yellow Jackets’ nest. My.
but those birds nre mad!”
Chatterer continued to dodge rrom
side to side of the tree while the
birds darted down at him, all
screaming at the top of their voices.
Finally Chatterer saw hls chance
to run for the old stone wall. Only
one bird was quick enough to catch
up with him, and that one was such
a tiny fellow that he seemed hardly
bigger than a big Insect. It was
Hummer, the Hummingbird.
Hummer followed Chatterer clonr
to the old stone wall. A moment
later Peter heard a humming noise
Just over hls hend and looked up to
see Hummer alight on a twig, where
h>» squeaked excitedly for a few
minutes, for hls voice Is nothing
but a little squeak. Often Peter had
seen Hummer darting from flower
to flower and holding himself still

That the first regular base
ball game was played at Ho

between the Knickerbocker
club of New York and the
New York club (a picked
team). Only four innings
were played, as under the
rules then existing, a game
was won when either team
made 21 aces (runs) or over

THROUGH A
Womans Eyes
By JEAN NEWTON
THE BEAUTIFUL BUT DUMB
TilK worst wife tn the world is
Lhe one who Is beautiful but
dumb.
80 suys Chicago’s famous "Di
vorce Judge,” Joseph Sabath. He
acquired his name by divorcing
38,000 couples. And out of all that
experience he concludet. that a
man’s worst bet is the girl who is
beautiful but dumb.
That Is so contrary to the taste
displayed by many men In seeking
wives that It makes a challenging
statement.
Of course we know there are
men who think of marriage as a
permanent and serious undertak
ing. who seek a girl with whom
they have tastes in common and
whose intelligence they can respect
With both having that viewpoint,
the man is very likely to tind him
self with u life partner who will he
a real helpmate, with a companion
ship that will grow rather than di
rnlnish with the years.
Hut what's one man’s meat, as
they say, Is another man’s poison.
Not every man wants to respect his
wile’s Intelligence. Some men think
the less women, and particularly
their wives, know, the better! They
may not consider tnstes In common
and a companionship of the mind
necessary In married life.
There are men who will find it
easier to he "the boss," to remain
n hero In the eyes of the wife who
Is. in the words ot the Judge
"dumb ' A ’dumb' woman has tier
requirements ot course, nut tisti
ally It these are satisfied she will
he easy to please, easy to Impress
The '‘dumb" woman will not he her
husband’s "severest critic.” And
while there are men who do not
resent that ability within hounds
the lack of It certainly goes for
smoother sailing!
No, I should not agree with the
divorcing ludge that the beautiful
hut dunth always make the worst
wives. They may have their points

Fcr a Gold Star
Mother
By ANNE CAMPBELL
THE first point ot the star is
Memory. . .
i'iie recollection of his baby ways.
Upon the road to yesterday we see
The shining candor of his Infant
gaze;
The touch of velvet cheek, the cling
ing- hands,
The cunning accent making sweet
demands.
Service to him, the next point of
the star. . . .
The days and nights were busy Id
his care.
There is no rest where little babies
are
For mothers who are happiest to
share
The beating ot their hearts with
their small sons.
They concentrate their lives on
these dear ones.
Love Is the third point of the star
of gold.
In blest affection, all the stars con
verge.
Only a mother knows how hearts
can hold
So much of love; It is her life’s
chief urge.
Her love will follow him across the
world,
And past the gates where his lone
(lag is furled.
The fourth point of the star Is sor
row . . . See!
The star is falling . . . Shadowed
is Its light.
Only a mother’s faith holds val
iantly
Against the coming of the final
night.
No. hurtling into space the gold
star goes. ,
its cargo all the heartbreak mother
knows.
Only the fifth point keeps the star
from wheeling
Forever lost in midnight’s empty
^pace;
But still upon the sky a faint light
stealing
Shows it upheld within its lawful
place.
Serene u|>on the heavens see it ride,
A gold star swinging by its fifth
point—PRIDE!

THIS WEEK
Another Royal Murder
Mr. Rockefeller Starts
Propaganda Work
Mussolini Winks
King Alexander of Jugoslavia,
landing at Marseilles, beginning of
a "good will” tour of France, was
killed by an assassin, and Louis
Barthou, foreign minister of France,
who had gone to Marseilles to meet
the king, was shot down at the
same moment and died later from
loss of blood. Their car was “spat
tered with hulletd. ’ Louis Barthou,
seventy-two years old, "one of the
ablest of > french statesmen, had
looked forward to the visit of the
Jugoslavian king as the beginning
of an era of peace in Europe.
As a result of the king’s assassi
nation on foreign soil it might have
been feared that another war would
be precipitated. The great war
started with the murder of the Aus
trian archduke. Vienna published
rumors that the Jugoslavian govern
ment had ordered mobilization of
Its army on the Italian and Hun
garian frontiers.
It happens, however, that the
murderer in this case is a certain
Petrus Kaleman, thlrty-flve-year-old
Jugoslav, one of King Alexander’s
own subjects, so that no internation
al complication Is suggested.
Kaleman, captured after firing the
shots which killed Barthou and
Alexander, attempted suicide by
shooting himself in the mouth, but
was cut down by police sabers and
died from the deep gashes inflicted
and from police bullet wounds.
John D. Rockefeller, not delaying
this year, has started for Florida
accompanied by his son, John D., Jr.
There Is longer life in sunshine.
Some day swift air transportation
will make it possible for millions
of old men and women and young
children that now tight cold and
colds in the northern winter to
spend that winter somewhere in
the United States’ sun parlor, that
stretches from Florida, on the east,
west along the gulf coast, and
north along the Pacific ocean.
Los Angeles reports industrious
“reds" trying to corrupt sailors of
the United States navy. One plan
seeks out young, attractive univer
sity girls that have not been elect
ed to sororities. They take advan
tage of their hurt state of feelings
to make Communists of them and
send them to make Communists of
sailors. Propaganda work is also
done in high schools by Commu
nists. One newspaper urges negro
students to “rise and demand col
ored teachers in the high schools.”
Special attention is paid to young
college graduates lacking jobs that
have enlisted in the navy. Their
feelings also were hurt and they are
expected to respond to the song,
“Arise, Ye Prisoners of Starvation,"
although men in the navy are well
fed.
Mussolini, talking with "ampli
fiers” to 500,000 Italians In the Ca
thedral Square of Milan, remarked,
"Relations between Italy and France
are notably improved,” and winked
as he said It.
The huge Italian crowd roared
with laughter.
Mussolini srf^s the corpse of dis
armament can never be resurrected,
which means that European nations
will continue arming against each
other more and more extravagantly.
Trouble continues In Spain, with
troops guarding the parliament and
Inconceivably savage outrages re
ported In the war against religion.
A priest and two civil guards are
said to have been burned alive and
a Catholic orphanage dynamited in
an outburst of terrorism and re
ligious hatred in northern Spain.
The Associated Press reports many
churches burned, and fifty-two sol
diers killed when a military truck
was blown up.

Why the Sudden
Change to Uquid
Laxatives ?
Doctors have always recognized the
value of the laxative whose dose can
be measured, and whose action can
be thus regulated to suit individual
need.
The public, too, is fast returning
to the use of liquid laxatives. People
have learned that a properly pre
pared liquid laxative brings a more
natural movement without any dis
comfort at the time, or after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. It forms no habit; you
need not take a “double dose” a day
or two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a
frescription, and is perfectly safe.
ts laxative action is based on senna
—a natural laxative. The bowels will
not become dependent on this form
of help. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
is obtainable at all druggists.
