Machine Gunners / ire at a Painted Landscape
\/| ACHINE-UUN practice with
*''* all the advantages of open
terrain and landscape target is
being accomplished at the Fort
Wayne army post, Detroit, Mich.,
by using painted landscapes in a
limited area. The range used Is
1,000 Inches, which corresponds
exactly to the l.OOOyard range

most of the time she has a family

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.
One of the first things to he
learned is the foolishness of taking
unnecessary risks. The most pre

In the world. 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

was turned. They kept her so wor

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.

AN OLD COUPLE
By ANNE CAMPBELL
TWO with hair ns white as snow
Closely sit together.
In their heurts the banked fires
glow.
Bitter Is the weather;
But the joy of summer days
Still is mirrored In their gaze.
As two trees that through long
years
Toward each other bending,
Nourished both by smiles and tears.
See the sun descending.
So do these two. wondering.
Face the end, and closer cling.
Long the Journey from the day
They joined hands, light-hearted.
Hard sometimes, the winding way
Since the Journey started.
But it's been a worth-while pull!
Sharing made It beautiful!

The Dean gave a radio address

the Idea being of course an im

And what do you suppose would
be the chief object of his very exalt

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

Dear Sir. Wynn:
During a conversation, at a orldge
party, some woman passed the re
mark that there wasn't any differ

Sea Cow Is Affectionate

offspring at a time and carries It
closely clasped to her breasts with

the very idea of his even noticing

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.
