"Better find out what’i th» mat ter with your eyes, Pe’^r. They see too much!” This was what Peter heard every time he met any of his friends They al. laughed a* him. every one of them, and all bcause he had tried to tell them thBt there was a stranger deep in the Green For est who made tracks ever and ever so much bigger than those of Bowser the Hound. Nr one ever hat heard of such a thing tn the Green Forest, and no one believed Peter. At first they thought he was joking, but when he grew Indignant and they saw how very earnest he was they thought that he ’ad been frightened and had imagined that the tracks were a great deal big ger than they really were Of course they were made by Bowser the Hound, and timid Peter had Just thought that they were nigger and different That’s what everybody thought. So whenever they saw him they teaser' him until it got so that Peter wouldn't stick his head out of the dear Olu Briar Patch until after dark. You see, he didn’t like being teased and laughed at. No on* does. Of course not. But it was great fun for the others. Once Jimmy Skunk came to the edge of the Old Briar Patch and pretended to be terribly excited. "I’ve found some tracks, great big ones, down on the Green Mead ows." he cried. "Come with me, Peter, and see if they are like the one*- that you saw in the Green Forest." Right away Peter was quite as excited as Jimmy seemed to be. and he hurried to follow Jimmy down acrosr the Green Meadows “Better Find Out What's the Matter With Your Eyes, Peter. They See Toe Much." which, you know, were not green then at all, but all covered with snow. Peter was so excited he didrs . know what to do. It seemed to him that Jimmy Skunk, who, you know, never hurries, moved slower than ever. “What did I tell you, Jimmy Skunk? Now, perhaps, you'll believe me the next time I tell you a thing." he whispered as they drew near the place where Jimmy said the tracks were. “Ho, ho, ho! Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Jimmy Skunk. “There are your if | IlOP^V /STIhaT WON'T\ / HELP VOU-l'M PRtTTV STUBBORN WHEN l MAKE UP,1 IP vou won r\ j^y mind vss^Xiri, & * WNU Service. tracks ol the Green Forest, Peter Rabbit.

MORE WIUST COCK SMOOTHER SWINGING IN THE larger illustration above Bobby Jones has reached the ex tent of his upstroke and body turn At this point Jones' oack is pre sented to the hole, his left hip is well around to the right and his wrists are cocked in the manner so typical of many others if the golfing greats. Jones, however, does not , stop his wrist cock at this point. By allowing the fingers of his left hand to relax a trille, the clubhead dips below the horizontal and gives a greater measure of cock to the wrists. This not only gives him the chance to put more power into the final speeding up of the clubhead but serves another purpose. As the lef* hip turns to the left on the down swing it exerts a pullin^pressure on the left arm. By this method of allowing a further dip to the club head. Jones is able to take up any shock or sudden downward momen tum, through this left arm pull, and bring the clubhead down in a slow er, smoother fashion. In the low er. smaller illustration Jones' hands have nearly reached the half way downswing mark yet his wrists are still cocked. In fact they will stay cocked about two-thirds of the way down, when they will unleash their power, reaching a climax at impact. ti Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service. -- - Virginia Knowles believes in looking Into things.

BECAUSE, if we do, it will save us a great deal of trouble and that is reason enough. This knowl edge is the lubricant of all social life. He who best understands human nature has most power over his fellow-men. You enjoy a word of praise for work well done, or even well intended. So does your neighbor. A word of appreciation is a small price to pay for good will and friendship. You do not like to have someone spread an unpleas ant tale about you even if it is true. Neither does that person of whom you have learned something uncomplimentary. Friend, wife, husband, or in-law may be grumpy and unresponsive at times. Why should you get peeved about It; you have your spells of grumpiness too. Human nature is very much the | same wherever you find it ©—WNU Service REPAIRING A GARAGE V] OT long ago a friend told me ^ that the door: of his one-car frame garage were beginning to stick; that he was having more and more trouble in opening and closing them. We examined the garage to gether, and found that the trouble lay in the rotting of the bottom of the post on one side of the door opening — a imber four inches square. The garage floor was con crete, but at that particular spot water had collected, and the bottom of the post was rotted to such an extent that the whole corner of the garage was beginning to settle. To repair the damage, we screwed a 2-foot length of a 2 x 4 '.o the post, with the bottom 18 inches or so above the floor and well above the rotted portion. Putting an automo bile Jack under this screwed-on 4 Love, Honor and Obey HEN-Rtt. . I DON'T WEAR VOU BEATING TWAT 1 piece, we raised the post to its origi nal position, in which the doors opened and closed freely. We then cut off the rotted portion, and re p'"ced it with concrete. For this we built a box of light wood, about 6 inches square inside, directly under the 4x4 door-post. This we filled with concrete, using a mixture of 1 part cement, 3 parts of sand, and 6 parts of gravel, with only enough water to make a thick mixture. The box was filled full, so that the con crete camr up to the cut-off bottom of the door-post. After three days, the bo* was removed, and the jack worked to let the door-post come down on its new base. This move ment was hardly one-half inch. Pro tected by the concrete, there is no chance that there will be any further rotting. Later, my friend did the same thing to the post on t ie other side of the door frame. The doors of my garage swing outward. In a heavy storm the catch of one of them slipped, and its door was slammed so hard that the horizontal pieces at the top and I in the center were broken away I from the vertical side piece to | which the hinges are attached. At first it seemed that a new door would be required; but before go ing to this expense, a repair was made that has now -too* for four years. The main part of the door was blocked up and the horizontal pieces forced tightly against the vertical side piece. Two 1-inch holes were bored into the edge of the door—through the hinged side piece, and into the end of the horizontal top piece. Two similar holes were also bored through the side piece and into the end of the horizontal piece in the center of the door. One inch dowels of hardwood were then drive/i into these holes, and secured by nails. This repair w'as a com plete success. Instead of being put to the expense of a new door, the cost was for four feet of dowel, a few nails, and less than an hour of labor. Bv Roger B. Whitman wn u Service. A BABE IS BORN By DOUGLAS MALLOCH A BABE is born, and life begins With trouble, though it’s only pins. * Already culture hovers o’er him And clothing has provided for him. If he has been so ill-advised. He happens to the civilized, Conspiring persons on the quiet Already start to plot his diet The babe, the boy, and then the man, They civilize him all they can. He must have certain fixed persua sions, And certain clothes for "ome occa sions. Created in the image of His God, or something else above, He soon becomes, while Satan chor tles, The image of all other mortals. The babe becomes, of many a thing, A subject, who should be a king, And life, that should be all enjoy ment, Becomes his regular employment. And then some day he lays it down, A stranger in some crowded town, And often wonders, when it’s ended. If that was just what God intended. © Douglas MalJodi.—WNU Service.

The il lusion is so perfect that she is about to reach for smelling salts or a sprig of old lavender. Matrons Have Vanity, Too. Mama, very young for her years, can not resist styles that bring more compliments her way. The no-belt feature of this one is definitely new, and does wonders for the figure a bit past the slim stage. The continuing collar, which in soft pastels is always flattering, gives the break re quired by the all-in-one waist and skirt.

Winifred on the left is privately making up her mind to have a housecoat, too; though she is mightily pleased with the way her print has turned out.
