AND I'm certaiply glad you didn’t drop dead, Mary Greene the night a ghost walk’d right into your bedroom. Pull up your chairs a little closer, bojs anti girls, turn the light down low and listen to Mary’s true ghost story. It is worth listening to. When Mary moved out to a farm she was In Just the sort of a mood that ghosts tike. Her school work had made her nervous and sickly, and hpr parents decided that she needed a rest and fresh air. So they packed her off In April, 1W25, to a farm owned by friends. Now Mary always has had a horror of ghost stories and it was ghost stories that this farmer doted on. Mary says his bed time stories always told of weird happenings at midnight—of shrouded figures with clanking chains—of ghostly faces peering into windows—weird cries, footsteps and unexplained thump ings on walls. One night, Mary says, after a particularly hair-raising series of hor ror stories, she climbed the wooden stairs to her bedroom with more or less fear and trembling. She was nervous and lay sleeplessly in bed, watching the moonbeams throw ghostly patterns on the floor. The rest of ttie family bad gone to sleep long since. The Night Was a Deathly Quiet One. The night was one of those Intensely quiet ones, peculiar to the coun try. Not a breath of air stirred nnd the leaves on the trees In the yard might have been painted for all the noise they made. Once In the dis tance, a far off train whistled and the screaming note, as It died down, made the silence all the more Impressive. The grandfather clock downstairs began to strike—its slow, sonorous notes sounded to the girl in bed like the mournful peal ing of a churchbell—tolling the service for the dead! .She counted the strokes carefully. At eleven she held her breaih and hoped it would he the last. And us she listened, hoping against hope that the hour she dreaded would not strike, a dog howled in the distance. The Witching Hour Brings Horror to Mary. She shivered nnd drew the bedclothes over her head. And as she did—the clock struck TWELVE. Mary says the last notes of midnight In the Moonlight She Saw a Figure in White. had hardly died before she heard other sounds that brought her heart Into her mouth In abject terror. Bach sound seemed, to the terror-strick en girl, more horrible than the othcv. Stealthy footsteps were coming up the stairs. Chains clanked dismally and in the silence of that awful night she heard plainly the thump, thump, thump of a heavy object being dragged through the silent house. And the awful sounds were soon upstairs! She heard them coming toward her room. She sat up stillly In bed and wet her lips—dry from horror—resolved to cry out. Finally words came but the weak, squeaky voice sounded strange aud unlike her own. “Who’s there?" The Intruder Was “Silent as a Ghost.” Silence. The noises stopped hut ns the terror-stricken girl listened, she was sure she could hear something breathing Just outside her door. The door was closed but unlocked and as she stared, her heart almost stopped heating. The door moved! Mary, now beside herself, tried to scream. Site opened wide her mouth but no sound came from her parched throat. Stiff and rigid—her bulging eyes staring in terror, she waited for the worst! And it was not long in coming. Her door slowly opened—in the bright moonlight, she saw a figure shrouded In while—and as she sat there, too tense even to faint, the tiling approached her bed! Visitor From the Grave Is Too Much for Mary. She took u deep breath—as persons In great danger often do—and— horrible as it is to relate—iuto her nostrils came the overpowering odor of the grave. The sickening stench of death. Wow! That was the straw that broke the camel's back. And it Is nil that Mary remembers. But she knows she must have screamed because a scream brought the farmer Into her rocro on the run with a shotgun that hadn't been off the wall since Armistice day. The minute the farmer sniffed the ghost—1 mean the goat—he knew what had happened. That pet billy-goat of his had gone and pulled his stake and dragging stake aud chain after him, hud come right Into the bouse , Mary Says Ghosts Still Get Her Goat. And not only that—Billy had pulled one of his old tricks—robbing the clothes line—and there, on bis soiled back, trailed one of Mas nice, chan bed-sheets! But that Isn’t what got Mary’s goat. What burned her up was that the farmer seemed more concerned about who left the back door open than he was about her nearly dying of fright. “I don't dislike goats any more," Mary ends tier Interesting letter, “I hate them.” Aud that goes for me, too, Mary. I’d rather smell a ghost any day. ©—WNU Servlc«. Green. White and Red Colors of Mexico’s Flag The colors of the Mexican tlug. green, white and red, are symboli cal of the aspirations of Mexico at the time it began its life as an Independent nation. However, states an authority In the Wash ington Post, the meaning of the national coat of arms Is much more deeply rooted In the history, in the traditions and in the personality of the country. The eagle which perched upon a cactus plant, strangling a serpent, Is rich in meaning, rich In symbolism. For centuries on end It has lived In the hearts of the Mexlcuns, in the hearts of the people who descended from the first settlers of the Val ley of Mexico; and, besides being very much alive In cherished tra ditions, It may have lived In real ity; It must have lived In reality. In the beginning of the Four teenth century the Aztecs, an In dian tribe, wandered into the rich valley of Mexico from the north, and spread throughout that part 0 of the country. In 1323, having halted on the shore of the principal lake, they beheld, perched upon a cactus plant, a royal eagle of ex traordlnary size and beauty, with a serpent In its talons and Its broad wings opened to the sun. This was considered an excellent omen by the priests and the place was chosen as the site of a great Aztec city. The foundations of this future metropolis were laid at once by sinking plies Into the shallows, for the low marshes were half bur led in water. Such were the begin nings of the Great Tenochltlnn, cap ital of a mighty empire whose de gree of civilization astounded the conquering Spaniards led by Cor tez Into Mexico. During colonial times the nopal and the eagle appeared at various times as decorative motives in the coat of arms of the City of Mexico When Independence was attained in 1821 the tricolored flag was adopted, and an eagle perched upor the nopal (cactus plant) and strangling a serpent, became the national coat of arms. Gay Garden Prints Herald Spring By CHERIE NICHOLAS GARDEN prints, ns cool and col orful as an English country side, will he worn by smart wom en for cruise and resort wear and early spring. Leading designers are turning out youthful costumes made of these refreshing prints in soft crepes with a supple draping quality that endears them to all. It is this type of frock that cen ters the stage at the present, for it answers the call for a spring like touch with midseason furs and coat. Of course, if you are going or have gone south you will like the Idea of a jacket ensemble styled after the manner of the models here pictured. Note that the silk to tiie left lias a white background, which makes it admirable for south land resort wear. Then, too, these pure silk prints that pattern color against white have the “new” look which says a„ a glance that they are of this season's vintage. The tulip motif of the garden silk se lected by the designer for the fash ioning of tliis dress is in realistic colorings that make the thrills of spring pulse through your entire system. An insert trim, in form of a hand-piped leaf motif, enhances the blouse-bodice. Other signifi cant style details are the subtle front flare In the skirt, the me dium length open sleeve and partic ularly the tuxedo front of the jacket ending in a clever pocket arrangement. The bat is of white toya with grosgrain band trim. Tiie beauty of the other two-piece ensemble pictured Is that the rich dark tone of Its background tones it to immediate wear nnder the winter fur coats of thos* who are not treking southward this season. This marguerita print tells you something interesting — that the daisy patternings are being featured in many of the new silks. Then, too, the message of grosgrain rib bon bindings is conveyed in the revers. This use of grosgrain rib bon to finish edges is pronounced throughout the field of dress de sign for spring. A most welcome gesture it is, too, for it keys a color scheme to perfection in that the grosgrain ribbon repeats, thereby emphasizing a dominant color-tone of the print. That is, if you want your costume to look navy or brown or green or deep red, assum ing that the print carries the color itself, trimming touches of match ing grosgrain ribbon turn the trick to a nicety. In the instance of the model pictured an unusual neck line is achieved with a bow trim of grosgrain ribbon such as binds the wide revers of the short jacket. In a number of cases the new garden prints employ multicolor ef fects, with one tone dominating, the other bright, “springy” refreshing lines introduced to achieve contrast and variety. Then, again, two-color schemes are carried out in a great many instances such as cerise florals in solid tone drifting over navy blue or large white daisies sil houetted against a dark ground. Nearly every print dress has its hip-length jacket of self fabric, either in loose boxy types or in models semi-fitting, that have two or three buttons at the waistline. As a rule a very simple styling is given to the skirt. The all-around pleated skirt is on the program, but for practical nbout-town wear the narrow silhouette with u subtle un obtrusive pleat or shirred device, just enough to permit freedom of action Is first choice. © Wofftiirn Nhwspafx'r Union.

PEACE BIRTHRIGHT OF CHILD; BANISH FEAR FROM MIND Fear, one of man’s greatest ene mies and the roof of much evil over whelming the adult, acquire* nil too hardy a growth In childhood. Yet readers of the current Issue of the Parents’ Magazine are reminded by Psychologist Ithodu Bacmeister thnt If fear had no survival value. It would not have persisted to the de gree It has; that a little fear Is an excellent thing to keep humans out of danger. It Is caution and fore sight, the habit of going slowly and thinking when In doubt thnt father and mother should spare no effort to develop in their offspring. Fears come and go. Mrs. Bacmeis ter admits it is easier to know what to do for a timid child than to un derstand where the fears come from in the first place, hut says It Is im portant to find out. Her anaylsis Identifies sevecnl varieties of fears. Baby cries at the sight of a float ing duck In his tub. Why? Because once he lost his balance in the bath while watching ducky. Three-year old Bobby runs from a salamander. “Shame on Bobby,” cried mother, for getting the fuss she makes when any thing crawling comes towards her. Here’s a fear that comes from con tagion. Small Susie’s afraid to go to bed In the dark. s Tho chances are this is a direct suggestion fear—in duced, perhaps, b.v mother who cau tions Susie against doing so and so lest “the hoogey man” catch her. Mrs. Bacmeister remarks: “It is both cruel and stupid to warp a child’s character by making fear the emotion that controls him; it is a re pressive and Inefficient control at best.” In order to help the child get rid of unreasoning fears, the psycholo gist suggests replacing the old asso ciation with a new and pleasant one and urges calm reassurance when a child Is frightened. “Never rush nor swoop,” says she. “Take it easy 1” We learn from the lady who knows that among the more immediate and less abstract reasons for a child’s anxiety attitudes and nervous ten sion the most harmful is “the thrill mongering” children’s radio program in which voices are keyed up and sound effects used to give the im pression of intense, usually terrify ing emotion.

Find Out From Your Doctor if the “Pain” Remedy You Take Is Safe. Don’t Entrust Your Own or Your Family’s Well - Being to Unknown Preparations "DEFORE you take any prepara tion you don’t know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it — in comparison with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
