DANNY MEADOW MOUSE IS GLAD HE IS SMALL IF EVER In all the Great World there was a startled Bear, that one was Buster Bear when Dann.v Meadow Mouse ran straight at him. Beechnuts were In Buster Bear’s mind, sweet little beechnuts and nothing else, when he reached out a great pnw to rake over that pile of leaves. It didn’t enter Buster's head that there might he anything hut beechnuts under them. So, when Danny Meadow Mouse with a frightened squeak darted out from Danny Had Darted Behind a Big Tree. under Buster’s very paw and straight toward him, Buster was so surprised and startled that for a second or two he didn't know what to do. Now It seemed an absolutely crazy thing for Danny to run straight at Buster, but the truth Is ft was the wisest thing he could have done. It wasn't wisdom that made him do It No. Indeed, It wasn’t wisdom at all. It was Just pure fright and nothing else. Danny was so frightened that he didn’t have any Idea at all where he was running. He just ran, that was all. And because he happened to be fac ing Buster Bear be ran straight at him. Now If he had run away from Buster things might not have turned •ut at all as they did.

As It wns, Danny darted right un der Muster’s big paw and right across the toes of one of Muster’s big hind feet. Muster Is a big fel low and he looks clumsy, but he Isn’t nearly as clumsy as he looks. In fact. Muster Isn’t clumsy at all. lie Is surprisingly quick In his move ments for such a big fellow. The Instant he recovered from his sur- ! prise at the sudden appearsnse of Danny Meadow Mouse. Muster whirled about. A fat Meadow Mouse would go splendidly with those sweet beechnuts he had eaten. But by the time Buster had turned about Danny had darted behind a big tree and there he stopped. He stopped because he didn't know which way to go. It happens that that was the wisest thing he could have done You see, If he had con tinued to run he would have rustled the dry leaves and Muster would have known Just where he was. Hut because he stopped ns he did there wns nothing to tell Muster which way he had gone. For once In his life Danny Mead ow Mouse w’ns glad he was little. Right then he would have been glad to be smaller than he was. Many, mnny times he had wished he was big, but now he wns very, very thankful that he wasn’t. Had he been big, as big, let us say, os Meter Rabbit, the chances are that he wouldn't have been able to slip out from under Buster's big paw as he had done. He was glad that he was little. Yes.

The girls, of course, are expected to have this training before they go into their own homes, or how will they know how to deal with house hold matters and spend the money given to them for the upkeep of the home? Boys, too, should begin early to learn how to cook simple foods, be able to make a good cup of coffee, prepare a crisp piece of toast, and serve a well-cooked egg. These accomplishments are not only helpful but often necessary In cases of illness or absence of the house wife. It Is not always easy or agreeable for a good housekeeper to turn over the work to her children, but It Is most gratifying In results. Now Is the time to serve the meals on the porch or In the garden; the young folks will enjoy taking the extra steps and the novelty will serve to delight the whole family. Serve the breakfast buffet style as the English do. Everybody has a few covered dishes to keep things hot, and with hot coffee and toast, one may make a fine breakfast. Through a WOMAN'S EYES * NEWTON WHEN THE DEVIL INVENTED WORRY (in'ROM the loss of a tooth to r that of a mistress, there’s no pang that Is not bearable. The ap prehension is much more cruel than the certainty; and we make up our minds to the misfortune when ’tls Irremediable, part with the tor mentor, and mumble our crust on t’other side of the Jaws." In that jit of philosophy from Thackeray is one of the strongest Indictments ever written on the subject of worry; and Its foolish ness and uselessnem. True, eating on the other side of the Jaw is not nearly so bad as the anticipation of It, as worrying about having to do It I Out of fear of violence from my readers I shall not mention the fact that the neces sity to eat in even a little corner of the Jaw could not possibly be so destructive of health and nerves as worrying about It Oh, no, 1 wouldn't mention that M} readers know it It’s Thackeray’s point that it Isn’t even so unpleasant as thinking about it In advance—that Is new! Can we Improve on Thackeray? No, but we can add this thought that while It's silly enough to lose sleep worrying about a tooth that’s got to come out anyway. It’s abso lutely Insane to worry about losing a tooth that after all may never have to come out! And that’s the heaviest burden of most of our worries, Isn’t it—the misfortunes that never do occur! That’s what worry Is for, Isn’t It?— that’s what the devil invented it for—to give us bald heads and acid stomachs and lined faces and Jumpy nerves over something that never does happen! © Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.

England does not approve of Mussolini’s plans in Abyssinia, and the question arises, Would England close the Suez canal, the short cut for Italian troops and supplies to Abyssinia? Will Italian airplanes be forbidden to fly over the Suez canal area? The answer as to closing of the Suez canal by Britain would prob ably be no. England would not vol untarily provoke hostilities with Italy. She really wants peace. But, how easily war could come—French against German or English against Italian or Japanese against Rus sian ! Germany undertakes to establish a “family tree” for each of Its 66,000,000 inhabitants, which means asking, answering, writing down ten thousand million questions. The sensible answer would be, “I descended from Adam, with heaven knows how many mixtures in my blood on the way up," but Hitler would not accept that. Young couples getting marriage licenses are questioned: “What were your eight great-grandparents like? Did they have any Negroid or Jewish blood? “Were they fond of telling the truth? Did they have imagination, driving power?” Ten thousand million foolish ques tions would seem to set a new rec ord.
