Indeed, Peter Rab bit couldn’t remember a time when | there had been so much excitement. not even the time when it was dis 1 covered that Prickly Porky the Por cupine had come down to the Green Forest to live And it was all be cause ot 2 big black stranger, big as Farmer Brown’s boy and black as Blacky the Crow, and whose name was Buster Bear. Sammy Jay had been the first to see him Bfacky the Crow had been the next. Then Unc’ Billy Possum. Jimmy Skunk, and Peter Rabbit At least so far as any one knew they were the first to see him. As a matter of fact. Paddy the Beaver had seen him before Samqpy Jay did, but Paddy is one who does not tell all he sees, as does Sammy Jay. and so he had said nothing But with Sammy Jay and Peter Rabbit to spread the news it was not long before everybody knew all there was to know about it and noth ing else was talked about or thought about. Of course, the news soon "Pooli!” Said Prickly Porky; "That Was Nothing. I Could Do the Same Thing.” spread all over the Green Meadows and to the Smiling Pool and it made almost as much excitement there as in the Green Forest. Of course. Peter Rabbit had told every one he met of how he had seen Jimmy Skunk make Buster Bear get out ot his way. and of course almost every body had a great deal of admiration for Jimmy Skunk. The only one who didn’t was Prickly Porky. “Pooh!" said Prickly Porky "That was nothing. 1 could do the same thing. I'm no more afraid of Buster Bear than Jimmy Skunk is The fact is. I know Buster Bear very well, for he comes from the Great Woods from which 1 came. There is nothing to be afraid of in Buster Bear.” Ot course, every one thought that Prickly Porky was just boasting, and that he was jealous of Jimmy Skunk. Reddy Fox said as much. “All right, Reddy! You go hunt up Buster Bear and invite him to come here, and I’ll show you wheth er or not 1 am afraid of him.” Now. Reddy had boasted that he wasn't afraid of Buster Bear You know he is a great boaster, and Straight Shooter f This is Miss Jean Ainsworth Ten ney of Clear Springs, Mo., who won > the national women's championship ^ at the fifty-seventh target session of the National Archery association with a grand total of 1,926 points. mopsT [/lets talk about you now' I DARLING ~ WHAT DO VOU \ THINK OF MV NEW DRESS/ h— - - WNU Service likes to pretend that ne isn't afraid of anybody or anything But, like most boasters he always nas an ex cuse ready when he is likely to have to make good one of nis boasts It was so this time No sooner had Prickly Porky proposed that he hunt up Buster Bear than Reddy remem bered that he had a very impor taut errand to do way down on the Green Meadows. He was sorry, but it really had to be done Perhaps Jumper the Hare would go in his place Reddy grinned wickedly when he said this, for everybody Knows that Jumper the hare is very, very timid. .So just try to imagine how surprised and excited everybody was when Jumper said: "Certainly I'll go and give the invitation to Buster Bear. I’ll be delighted to.” At first everybody but Prickly Porky stared at Jumper as if they thought that he was joking, and they couldn’t quite see the joke. Then as they began to realize that he meant just what he said, they looked at each other again, as if they thought him crazy. But Jump er appeared not to notice it, and started for the deepest part of the Green Forest to look for Buster Bear. Reddy Fox started off. too. "Some say we have passed the norse and buggy days,” says solilo quizing Elizabeth, ‘but neverthe less the days ot horse sense seem to be as far ahead of us as always.” WNU Service but he went in the direction of the Green Meadows. He didn’t want to go, but he had to because he had said he had an important errand there. As soon as he was out ol sight he made a 'vide circle back to the Green Forest, and then he tried to get ahead of Jumper the Hare where he couid hide and give Jumper a terrible fright. It wouldn’t do to let the other little people think that Jumper the Hare dared do something that he didn’t dare do. © T. W Burgess. - WNU Service -----. Good Nutrition Is Up to Cook BFood Must Be Varied and Include Needed Calories. __ By EDITH M. BARBER ■ ■ 1 ■ — GOOD nutrition depends upon more than food selection. First of all there is, of course, the choice of such a variety of foods that to gether they add to the perfect sum of calories, muscle building, ener gy giving, vitamin and mineral bearing foods. While some of these foods may be eaten in their raw form and need merely the process of digestion to be absorbed, others need to be prepared for digestion by cookery. Meat, for instance, must be cooked, because the human teeth are not strong enough to divide raw meat into small pieces which may be easily reached by the digestive Juices. Cereals also need preparation, either by long cooking, by grinding or by pressing by machinery, plus a short cooking. The ready-to-eat cereals are examples of the latter treatment. Flour is also prepared by machinery at the mills before it is made into bread, cakes and cook ies. While many vegetables and fruits can be eaten in their natural form, some of them need cooking for two reasons. The first is, of course, to make them ready for digestion; the other to make them palatable. Po tatoes are the outstanding example of the latter fact The raw potato is unsuited in its raw form to take an important place in our diet. Potatoes Hashed In Cream. 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups diced potatoes Salt, pepper 2 cups rich milk Melt the butter, add potatoes and seasoning and stir over fire until the butter is absorbed. Add the milk and cook slowly, about half an hour. Add more milk if needed. Fruit Au Gratin. 12 canned or stewed pear or peach halves Cornflake crumbs Butter Drain the fruit, saving the juice. Roll fruit in crumbs. Place in buttered baking dish, cut side up. Dot with butter. Bake in hot oven (400 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit) until crumbs are brown. Serve with lemon sauce. Chocolate Filling. 4 ounces chocolate, cut in pieces lVi cups milk V4 cup flour 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons butter lVfe teaspoons vanilla Put chocolate and milk in double boiler and heat When chocolate is melted, beat with rotary egg beater until smooth. Sift flour with sugar, add a small amount of the chocolate mixture and stir until cook until thick and add butter and vanilla. This filling may be stored in refrigerator in a covered jar. It may be used in the pudding, or to put between layers of cake or as a pie filling. Refrigerator Pudding. Chocolate filling Sponge cake or lady fingers Line bowl with slices of stale sponge cake or split lady fingers, crust side out. Fill with chcolate filling in alternate layers with cake and chill in refrigerator several hours. Potato Salad. 4 cups cold boiled potatoes 1 chopped onion 1 cucumber or 2 pickles Vi cup French dressing Cooked salad dressing Cut potatoes into dice or slices, add the onion and sliced cucumber or pickles, mix with French dress ing which should be very well sea soned, and let stand in ice box one or two hours. Mix with salad dressing, serve on lettuce and gar nish with parsley. Celery, cut into cubes, or celery seed may be used with the other ingredients if desired. Baked Stuffed Fish. 1 medium sized fish, two to three pounds Stuffing 2 cups soft bread crumbs 2 teaspoons chopped onion Salt, pepper 2 teaspoons lemon juice 3 tablespoons melted fat Clean the fish by removing the scales and the fins, and split. Stuff and sew. Dredge with flour, dot with butter and bake in a hot oven <500 degrees Fahrenheit). Cook until the fish separates from the bone and flakes when tested with the point of a knife. Tomato Sauce. 1 teaspoon chopped onion 1 bay leaf 2 tablespoons flour cup water 1 cup tomato, stewed and strained Pepper 1 teaspoon salt Cook the onion and bay leaf In melted butter until golden brown. Remove from the fire, add the flour and stir until smooth. Add the wa ter, tomato and seasoning. Boil three minutes, stirring constantly. Strain and serve. Cl Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service. FIRST AID TO THE AILING OUSE By Roger B. Whitman RADIATOR COVERS XTOT long ago 1 saw some tests * ^ made on a new type of radiator enclosures. The results showed that these enclosures cut down the heat thrown off by a radiator by nearly one-half. The enclosures were or namental; they were better looking than the radiators. But cutting down the heat by one-half means the chill ing of a room in which they might be used. There is no satisfaction in this, of course, for a radiator is in tended to supply heat A radiator delivers heat in two ways; heat is radiated from the hot metal just as it is from a fire or the sun, and heat passes to the room through the upward flow of f MANNERS OF THE MOMENT By JEAN O By Th« AnwlsUd N*w»p—«r»^ L'EMININE shoestring problems * are nothing to masculine shoe string problems, we hear It’s prob ably because the men navemore shoestrings to handle.

Even the best of radiator enclosures check the heating effect to some extent, but a checking of nearly one-half is entirely too great to be considered.

This interfered very little with the radiation of heat, and, painted with the rest of the en closure, was very attractive in ap pearance. For a full flow of heated air, the top of an enclosure should be open, or at least be of open grill-work. The alternative is to have a solid top, as much higher than the radi ator as the radiator is deep, and with its front open. Heated air will then have room enough to pass out horizontally. The lower part of an enclosure should be open, so that there can be a full flow of cool air from the floor. © By Roger B.

SANTA MONICA, CALIF.— A society is forming in England for the defense of the former Edward VIII, now the duke of Windsor and hon orary citizen of all places in this country named for the Simpson family. This society does not hope to re store the duke to the throne. That would not only an noy the archbishop of Canterbury, he al ready having things to annoy him, such as Americans, but would seriously up set Mr. Stanley Baldwin, who upsets so easily that it seems strange the British never have thought of calling him ReversibleStan. Besides, the throne Irvin S. Cobb would be quite crowded if the duke tried to snuggle in there along with the present occupants. What some of us over here think— and that goes for many Canadians, too—is that England has a crying need for a society dedicated to the broad general principle of minding its own business and suffering the duke and his wife to mind theirs. We have a rough idea that both of them can better endure long-dis tance snubs than officious meddling in their private affairs. Just being an ex-king is a hard enough job— even if you can get it to do. • * • Political Afterthoughts. MASTER ROLLO, aged seven, and city raised, was visiting relatives in the country. On his first morning he came in wearing a worried cast of countenance. “Mother,” he said, ‘Tve been out under the mulberry trees.” “Yes.” “Mother, do mulberries have hard backs and six legs and crawl around on the ground?” “Why, certainly not." "Then, Mother,” said Rollo in stricken tones, “I feel I have made a dreadful mistake.” What’s the point? Oh nothing, only I got to imagining what the brood ing regrets of some members of the administration and a majority of the members of the senate must be when they recall the alacrity with which they moved to fill a certain recent vacancy in a certain very high court—in fact, the highest one we’ve got. • • • Hirsute Virility. PARISIAN boulevardiers believe a dense arboreal effect of whiskers is proof that the wearer is indeed a man, without, in all cases, being absolutely convincing about it. We haven’t gone that far yet, but I would like to know whence comes this notion of appraising masculine vigor by the amount of hair along the breast-bone? Morbid, I calls it. Two distinguished authors battle when one intimates the other is scantily adorned in that regard, for getting that, in the immature sum mer peltage of his kind, an author has but a scanty growth as com pared with the richer winter coat. And then prying reporters ask the new glamor prince of the movies whether he has any fleece at all upon his chest, their tone indicating they rather expected to find trailing arbutus there, or at least some shy anemone. Years ago in the hospital, when I was being shorn for an operation, I remember remarking to myself that here was the only barber who’d ever worked on me without trying to sell me a bottle of hair tonic. • • • Miss Am«ica—1937. AT LAST some rational excuse— in moral values, anyhow—has I been found for a so-called national beauty contest. The seventeen-year-old New Jer sey girl chosen as “Miss America of 1937” is not going into vaudeville, is not going to make any personal appearances, is not coming to Holly wood for a screen test, is not going to accept a radio contract, is not even going to write her life story for publication. She will return to school and to the normal home life of a well-raised normal girl—that is, unless she changes her mind about it all. If she shouldn’t change her mind, she stands out as probably the san est young person of her age at pres ent residing on this continent, or, should we say, this planet. If she should change her mind well, the American populace has been fooled many a time and oft be fore. Our grandfathers didn’t be lieve human beings ever could fly. Our fathers didn’t believe anybody would ever lick John L. Sullivan. Only the other day our United States senators didn't believe their fellow statesman, Mr. Black of Alabama, could be a Klansman. They thought that low but persistent sound of "Ku-Klux, Ku-Klux” was but the voice of a modest hen. IRVIN S. COBB. JhWNU Service.
