Ringing Through Country the . i One of the greatest musical suc cesses of the country, "SWEET HAWAIIAN MOONLIGHT," is the only truly Hawaiian melody ever .written by an American, and is ex tremely popular in all the large musical centers. This immensely popular number is by the writers of "WEE PI NG WILLOW LANE," another decided success.

It is harmonious in the extreme and, w ' en heard, its immense popularity is easily under stood, for it is whistled, hummed and sung everywhere. This song is splendidly recorded for all phono graphs and player pianos. 99 A Bad Cough If Mglfted, oftrh lreds to serious trouble.

WHY?- Do Our Faces Keep Warm in Cold Weather? (Copyrtfht, 1910, by Whteler Syndi cate, Inc.) Our faces do get cold, as may be proven by the application of what is known as a "surface ther mometer," but we do not feel the cold because the nerves by which we are conscious of a change in temperature are accustomed to this state of things and take no notice of it. If we were accus tomed to go out barefoot, but with our faces covered, the pres ent condition would be reversed and we would not "feel" the cold in our feet but our face would be very uncomfortable the mo ment we removed the covering. The same principle is apparent in a number of other things in the temperature of water which is too cold to bathe in but hardly cool enough to drink: in country persons who find difficulty in sleeping in the city on account of the noise and .city people who can't sleep in the country because "it is too quiet;" in those who are accustomed to work in the glare of a blinding light and those who labor in comparative dark ness. In other words, it's merely a matter of habit. Tomorrow's Question Why do our teeth chatter when we're cold?

Don't wait for some one to wind you up and set you going. One of the glorious things in being a hu man being is that each one of us has a will of his own. A will is a sort of perpetual motion machine, which runs of itself, as long as you do. Take Joe, for example. He wanted to know about eyes. Books told him a lot, but not in the way he wished. He was after prac tical knowledge. So he went and r If 3 us m .u a . r pw. & a-. u w, I m, t e. i J j C . a. pWfc , i. hM , (., MM a t 4 lL bought a sheep's head at the meat market. He began by cutting out the eye. Going at the job carefully, he found the iris and the pupil and the lens. It took trouble to find, but he located the optic nerve. Then, as soon as he had finished the roll of film in his camera, he studied the lens of that, and worked out the likeness between the eye of a mammal like a sheep (or a human being) and the modern camera. So far, so good. But Joe knew, too, that he could take pictures by making a pinhole in a dark box, the 'cam'era obscura" plan. Now, he figured, if the complex modern camera is a development of the pin-hole camera, why shouldn't the complex eye of the mammals be a development of some pinhole form of eye in the simpler forms of life? A book might have told him, but he wanted to find out for himself. So, sure enough, in the nautilus and similar forms, he found a regular pin-hole eye. Then Joe really knew. He had found the clue to many of the won derful secrets in the eye, which he would never have known if he had not hunted for them himself. (Tomorrow: Your own Easter flowers.) Wild Life- oi roresi Tadpoles With Wings. FRANCIS ItOLT-WHEELER "Ever see a tadpole with wings?" Hugh looked suspiciously at his chum, expecting a catch. "No, honest," Jack asserted, "I found one here this morning, just a little bit of a one. But he had sure enough wings sticking out just be hind his head." "Aw! Where did you find him?" Ibis, increduously. "Right here! in this pond! "Find another, if you can," chaffed Hugh. "First thing you know, vou'll be talking about a sparrow with fins!" Jack was nettled at his chum's tone, but he didn t want to argue about it, so he stooped down and N'. Tt. fpdlke n. B. Tavia Ed P. Smith f?. J. Inirwernon R. P. Pollard Tt. F. Kloke John F.

Presently he gave a shout: "I've got another!" And, in his hand, Jack triumph antly showed a tiny tadpole, not more than half an inch long, but with four feather-like extensions sticking out just as Jack had said behind his head. "Those aren't wings, they're gills, and gills are the lungs of fishes," laughed Hugh. "I know 'cause when I was down in Mexico with Uncle Harry, I saw lots of beggers like that, only they were six to eight inches long. They call them axo lotls down there. I didn't know frogs had them, though." "Let's sec if I can find another,'' suggested Jack. And. more used to looking for them, the two boys found that every single one of the very young tad poles had these external gills, though they lost them when they got to the big-headed, flat-tailed stage. "Imagine having one's lungs stick ing out like that!" commented Jack. "It would be queer." Hugh agreed. (Tomorrow: Hunting Eye meets the Coastguardsman.) Dr. Miller Injured. Dr. George L.

Dawes, Chicago Banker, who was associated with John J. Pershing in the organization and movement of the American Expeditionary forces, "I con sider General Pershing nothing less than a genius." DIPLOMAT The manner in which Pershing met . the thousand obstacles presented by con tact with the methods and people of Euro pean nations has been pronounced by for eign authorities to have been one of the big elements in the speedy conclusion of ' the war. ADMINISTRATOR While still a captain, Persh ing's four years as Governor of the savage tribes in the Moro Province were pro nounced by W. Cameron Forbes, Governor General of the Philippines, to be a ''tri umph of tact and energy." His remarkable management of the A. E. F. was a business, as well as military, feat almost without parallel. PATRIOTISM Since he sawed wood to prepare for entrance to West Point, Pershing's life has been a record of service to the Amer ican people. Throughout it, he has acted while others talked, succeeded at what ever task he was placed and rising superior to the greatest obstacles and the heaviest disappointments. EQUIPMENT In his experience as Governor of the Philippines, an attache of the Ameri can Embassy in Japan, a soldier in Mexico, and a combined diplomat, general and statesman in Europe, Pershing is better fitted than any other American to meet the problems of the next administration. No hint of a SINGLE-TRACK MIND ABOUT THIS RECORD. Instead, a one thousand track one and with EVERY PHASE CENTERING IN ONE IDEA.
