SAMMY JAY BRINGS
LIGHTFOOT WORD
SAMMY Jay la one of those who
believe In the wisdom of the old
saying, “Early to bed and early to
rise.” Sammy needs no alarm clock
to get him up early In the morning.
He is awake as soon us It Is light
enough to see and wastes no time
wishing he could sleep a little long
er. His stomach wouldn't let him
If he wanted to. Sammy always
wakes up hungry. In this he Is no
different from all his feathered
neighbors.
So the minute Sammy gets his
eyes open he mukes his toilet, for
“He’s Coming 1” Cried Sammy.
Sammy is very neat, and starts out
to bunt for bis breukfust. Long ago
Sammy discovered that there is no
Bafer time of day to visit the door
yards of those two-legged creatures
called men. than very early In the
morning. On this particular morn
ing he had planned to fly over to
Farmer Brown’s dooryard. but at
the last minute he changed his mind.
Instead he flew over to the dooryard
of another farm. It was so very
early In the morning that Sammy
didn't expect to find anybody stir
ring so you can guess how surprised
he was when just as he came In
sight of the dooryard he saw the
door of the farm house open and a
man step out.
Sammy stopped In the top of the
nearest tree. “Now what Is that
man doing up as early as this?’’
muttered Sammy. Then he caught
sight of something under the mnn’s
arm. He didn’t have to look twice
to know what It was. It was a
gun. Yes, sir, It was a gun; a ter
rlble gun.
‘'Hal" exclaimed Sammy, and
quite forgot that his stomach wns
empty. “Now, who can that fellow
be after so early In the morning?
I wonder If he Is going over to the
Big River after Mr. and Mrs. Quack,
or If he Is going to the dear Old
Brier-patch to look for Peter Rah
bit, or If he is going to the Old Pas
ture In search of Reddy Fox, or if It
Is Mr. and Mrs. Grouse he hopes to
kill. I think I'll sit right here and
watch."
So Sammy sat In the top of the
tree and watched the hunter with
the terrible gun. He saw him head
straight for the Green Forest “It’s
Mr. and Mrs. Grouse after ail, I
guess,” thought Sammy. “If I knew
Just where they were I’d go over
and warn them.”
But Sammy didn't know just
where they were and he knew that
it might take him a long time to
find them so he once more began
to think of breakfust; and then,
right then, another thought popped
into his head. He thought of Light
foot the Deer.
Sammy watched the hunter enter
the Green Forest, then silently fol
lowed him. From the way the
hunter moved Sammy decided that
he wasn’t thinking of Mr. and Mrs.
Grouse. ‘‘It's Light foot the Deer,
sure ns I live!" muttered Sammy.
“He ought to be wnrned. He cer
tainly ought to be wnrned. I know
right where he Is. I believe I’ll warn
him myself."
Sammy found Llghtfoot right
where he had expected to. “He's
coming!" cried Sammy. “A hunter
with a terrible gun Is coming!”

Grandmother’s Recipe
for Bread
By ANNE CAMPBELL
THERE In a book where It had
long been spread,
I found Grandmother’s recipe for
bread,
Written by her dear hand, and
placed inside
A cook-book long ago, for me, a
bride,
1 had not tried It for a dozen years,
And gazed upon it now with falling
tears.
For I could see her silver head once
more,
Gent to a little child beside her
door.
I smelled the home made bread she
baked for me,
And churned for Grandmother In
memory.
The buttery door stood open, for no
bar
Kept me from Grandmother's tall
cooky Jar.
The curtains blew In the October
air,
Her bird snng. telling me the world
was fair.
The carpets made of rags, the tidies’
fold
Upon the Morris chair, like her,
grown old.
Are memories of precious years,
long sped,
Caught In recl|>e for making bread.

A WOMAN S EYES
ON THE WOMAN WHO CRAVES
PRESTIGE
WHATEVER may be her virtues
and her graces, there is one
type of woman who can never be
successful In marriage, a noted au
thor tells us. Ani that Is the tvorn

Though she may be a perfect angel,
such a woman Is unfit to be a wife.
The trouble with her, we are told,
is that her first Interest Is always
maintaining her prestige. With a
feminine Inferiority complex she Is
not confident of herself and her abll
D1SHES BY FAMOUS COOKS
A S MACARONI, spaghetti and
** noodles are all such popular
foods and take the place In a meal
of other starchy foods such as pota
toes, we enjoy a few new ways of
preparing such dishes.
Rector’s Spaghetti and Chicken
Salad.
Take one-half pound of elbow
spaghetti, two cupfuls of diced chick
en. one cupful of chopped celery,
one tablespoonful of onion, one tea
spoonful of salt, one-half cupful of
mayonnaise, two tabelspoonfuls of
chopped green pepper, one table
spoonful of plmlento or minced red
pepper, one tablespoonful of capers,
lettuce or watercress. Cook the
spaghetti until tender. Drain and
chllL Add the remaining Ingredi
ents and mix lightly. Serve on let
tuce or cress with goldenrod sauce,
which Is made by rubbing several
hard-cooked eggs through a sieve.
Salmon or tuna may be used in
place of chicken.
Liver With Noodles.
Take five ounces of noodles, cook
until tender In boiling salted water.
Drain. Line a casserole with them
and set aside to become firm. Cut a
pound of liver In slices and scald
In a cupful of boiling water. Drain
and cut fine. Fry a carrot and on

ities, and therefore needs constant
affirmation of her worth in the opin
ion of others. That disqualifies her
entirely for the role of a wife.
It seems to me that «.he impor
tance of this point lies not in fol
lowing to its conclusion the question
of how the desire for personal pres
tige Interferes with the require
ments for a woman’s success in
marriage. We a know that. It
would seem ore to the point to
consider that a craving for atten
tion, a desire for prestige is very
likely to disqualify a woman—or
for that matter a man—for success
in anything.
There is nothing In the world
that so Interfere^ with accomplish
ment and with enjoyment of life as
having one eye on what other peo
ple will say or think. There Is
nothing so distracting as to be pre
occupied in gaining the good will or
good opinion of others. There is no
surer short-cut *o failure than the
effort to shine.
People who have creative work,
distinguished achie\ement, to their
credit, have succeeded because they
did their work for its iwn sake.
People who are most highly regard
ed by the world are those who have
cared little for the world’s acclaim.
People who have the greatest expe
rience of happiness are those who
pursue the even tenor of their way,
doing their best according to their
lights, playing the game for the sake
of the game, without thought to an
other's opinion, or to admiration or
applause.

DIFFERENT AMOUNTS
OF LIGHT NEEDED
A survey shows that 22 per cent
of children finishing grade school
have damaged eye sight. When they
have finished college, 40 per cent are
so affected. At age forty, 65 per cent
suffer from visual defects. And at
age sixty, 05 per cent have eye de
fects.
This regrettable increase In eye
troubles is In many Instances caused
by eye strain resulting from read
ing, studying, sewing at night with
poor light and not enough light.
Science measures light In terms otl
foot-candles. A foot-candle Is the
amount of light one standard can
dle shines on t surface one foot
away.
For seeing one’s way around and
performing ordinary tasks which do
not require seeing very small ob
jects, 5 foot-candles Is sulHcient. For
leading coarse print and large stitch
sewlpg, you can get along with 10
foot-candles. For continued reading
of ordinary print, or doing ordinary
sewing, you need at least 20 foot-can
dles. For reading fine print and fine
sewing, you require 30 foot-candles,
or more.
Your light may look bright, but It
Is the Illumination you get on your
work that saves your eyes from
strain; and this diminishes rapidly
the farther away you are from your
lamp.
Seated with your paper or work 3
feet away from your lamp, It will re
quire a light of at least 275 candle
power to produce the 30 foot-candles
needed to be certain your eyes have
enough light to do their work with
out danger of strain and permanent
Injury.
If you use electricity, your light
company will recommend the right
size bulbs to use.
If your home Is not wired, one of
the new 300 candlepower kerosene or
gasoline pressure mantle lamps will
supply plenty of “live" natural light
for every home need. It takes the
pressure to give you all the light you
should have.
