Nanny has real cuuse for worry. You see, no one knows better than she what a lot of duu gers surround a Meadow Mouse and how necessary It Is that a young Meadow Mouse who would live to a good old age he carefully trained.

Nanny will risk her own life for her babies any time, but she Is far too wise to risk It for any other reason. -If you lose your life you've lost everything." Is a favorite saying of Nanny's, and when you come to think of tf. It Is exactly so. Some at her and tells her that the older she grows the more timid she be comes. Thnt doesn't trouble Nanny at all. She simply smiles and says nothing. She knows It Is true, but she also knows that this added | timidity Is because of Increased knowledge of the dangers of the (Jreat World, and that the more timid she is the leas likely Is she to feel careless. "A Meadow Mouse cannot be too timid,” says Nanny, and In that she Is more than half right. Danny Meadow Mouse Is differ ent He doesn't have the care of those babies ull the time on his mind as does Nanny. So he has more time to think about himself and the things he wants to do. Then, too, the sharp little wits In that fuuny little head of his have brought him through so many tight places that he has come to think himself quite as smart as anybody else and quite able to take care of himself no matter what happens, which shows thnt he Isn't ns wise as Nanny, though it wouldn't do to tell him so. The day thnt Danny took It Into his head to visit the Smiling Tool had been a very trying one for Nan ny. Danny hadn't told her where he was going or that he expected to be gone long. The half grown chil dren had been very trying that day, for they had persisted In takiDg foolish risks whenever Nanny's back times Danny Meadow Mouse laughs was turned. They kept her so wor ried *hnt she didn't have time to think of Danny. But when the Black Shadows began to creep out over the Green Meadows and Dan ny had not returned, it popped Into her head that something dreadful must have happened to him. She begun to worry. The later It grew the more she worried. © T W Bur«tess —WNU Service. AN OLD COUPLE By ANNE CAMPBELL TWO with hair ns white as snow Closely sit together. In their heurts the banked fires glow.

THROUGH A Womans Eyes By JEAN NEWTON ROUGE AND LIPSTICK HAND IN HAND WITH ARMIES AND NAVIES THE “Gloomy Dean” of St Paul’3, Very Rev. William Ralph Inge, has paid us a great compliment. The Dean gave a radio address on the subject, “What I Would Do With the World." He has plans, you see, for making the world over, the Idea being of course an im provement on the present prod uct. And what do you suppose would be the chief object of his very exalt ed attention. If he were allowed to rule the world? Why, rouge, lip sticks, armies and navies! These are the prime disturbing factors In the present state of things. If the available report of his address Is accurate, which the dean * MOTHER’S * COOK book!

Regarding the austere visage of this high distinguished man, L know none of our sex but would question the very idea of his even noticing our existence. And not merely to have noticed It, but to notice so definitely what Is merely a detail of our makeup, so to speak, and to elevate It to the position of impor tance that Is assigned to armies and navies, well, to say that we are overwhelmed is putting it mildly.

Scientists Claim Brain and Brawn Go Together The theory that brains and brawn go together wns put forth recently by a group of scientists who had assembled to discuss the world’s ills and how to cure them. A large chest expansion Is a symbol of mental breadth, It was said, while a narrow chest denotes compressed intelli gence. Children who are the best students, surveys have shown, are those with the biggest chests. Statis tics were called In to show that more successful persons, as a rule, have more generous height and girth meas urements than their less fortunate neighbors. Thus the idea of brain power being associated with brawn has been elevated somewhat from the field of physical culture argu ments. Among the statistics cited In sup port of the theory that larger dimen sions are indicative of business suc cess were those showing sales man agers, on the average, to bo twenty five pounds heavier and one Inch taller than salesmen. Railroad presi dents appear to be thirty-one pounds heavier and one and one-half inches taller than station agents. The rela tive avoirdupois of generals and pri vate soldiers was not given. Regardless of the scientific explan ations of these phenomena, the or dinary man—possibly the station agent—has some sensible views on the subject. In the first place, he readily will grant, good health is the best stimulant for a smoothly work ing brain. There are exceptions, of course, as In the case of the genius who has cultivated his brain cells to compensate for physical deficiencies, but In the main the better a person feels physically the more fit he feels for head work. Much in Little He pondered over the menu for quite a long time. At last he looked up. “1 see you have six of my favorite dishes on the menu today, waiter," he said. "Which do you specially recommend?" The waiter, whose position in the restaurant expired at the end of the week, sniffed. “Well, sir," he said in a hoarse whisper, “if I were you I’d take the stew and have the whole lot!”—El Paso World News. Depression's End Seen for Peanut Industry Some people have theories about the superiority of lower animals to the human race. They claim, for Instance, that animals eat enough, and having satisfied their appetites, quit Therefore animals have few digestive disturbances. Of course, anyone who has tried to bring up a dog knows there Is something wrong with the Idea, but the theorists laugh off this objection by maintaining that the dog Is almost human. Take the snake, they say; It eats, then lays off for days or weeks at a time. Now comes the report from Chi cago that the zoo animals are suf fering from what the French call evil of the heart, but what we some times refer to as tummy-ache, from eating too many peanuts. They are being given the well-known and ef fective remedy. We merely point out two things— that the ability of animals to re strain their appetites in the pres ence of peanuts has been overesti mated by those who hold up animals as exemplars of dietary wisdom; and that the depression Is over when kids can buy enough peanuts to sicken a whole zoo.—Detroit News.
