WHAT THE OLD COW DID When Sandy Chipmunk reached Farmer Green's barn he crept inside and looked all around. He had ex pected to find the ham crowded with saucers lull of milk. But not a single saucer did he see. There were two long rows of cows stabled in i the barn. And Sandy noticed Farm- ! or and his boy and his liiwd man, each, sitting on a low stool beside a iow. They were milking the cows, i'ut Sandy aid not k.iow it. He began to 'think the Henry, Skunk had played a trick on him. And he was about to leave the barn when he turned to look at several bright tin pails standing on the floor. Sandy crept up to one of thm and MiifTcd at it. He was glad that he had done that, for he studied milk. There was no mistake about ' it, . , i t Saitrly Chipmunk couldn't crawl up the side of the pail, it was so smooth and slippery. So he jumped right up and stood on its edge. Am looking inside, lie saw that the pail was almost full ot milk. He knew then that Henry Skunk had told the truth. 1 By bendii'.T down Sandy was just able to reach the milk. And he be gan drinking it as, fast 9k he could. It was so delicious that he forgot all about Johnnie Green and his, father .and the hired man.. ' With his head inside the pail, of 'He didn't wait to learn ' jejeactly wKathad happcne4 . ' ' Li . . '! ... '', coure Sandy couldn't see what hap pened (n the barn. , The more he dmnl(Tvthe further down he had to stretch ' his neck. And when at last he heard a "shout, and a milking stool came saling through -the air rot far above the pail, Sandy was eo stratlcd that he lost his balance and went plump! into-the mijk. -, ' Luckily,. Sandy Chipmunk knew how to swim. S6 he managed to keep his nose in the aicor he would tertainly hive drowned. . ,'. "Where on earth did the chip munk go?" he heard Johftnie Green say as he picked 'up his 'stool. ,Yoti see, Johnnie never once thought of looking inside the' pail. ,' , . Still, Sandy Chipmunk was in a fix. For the inside of the '-pail was as mooth and slippery as -the outside. And of course' he couldn't jump out, for there was nothing from which he could spriiig.' v Now it happened that the pail of milk stoori not far behind the surly old cow tnat hail told Sand- not to ' be silly, when he asked her for some .inilk to idrink. in, the, pasture that day. 'Johnnie Green's shouting aijd the stool .hurtling, through the air displeased hef; Anl since she was not the sort to hide her ill nature, she promptly kicked the milkpail orer. lTor a moment Sandy Chipmunk' i thought that this time , the end ot the world had certainlyi come. The old cow's foot crashed against the piil .and sent it 'flying against the sfoue wall on which the barn was bjiilt. And Sanify tumbled out upon! the floor in a sea of milk. '( "jHc didn't wdjt to learn exactly v.liat had happened. For as-soon as he could scramble to his feet he cWshed out of the barn and ' tdc iitross the fields towards the pasture. Later, whenlic reached his house and sat down to rest, he soon for got his fright. For he had a very !!casa.nt time licking himself clean. That was the way Sandy Chipmunk always made himself spick 'and span. 1 And though there may be some peo ple who would not consider such' an act to be in the best 6l taste, Sandy Chipmunk , thought N what was left of the milk tasted very good. 'And ;ince his .mother, did not object Jo what he was doing, perhaps no one ' else ought to. . . . ,f. ' v. THE END. . : . Does Sound Carry Further Over V. "Water Than Over Land? The sensation to which we re fer as "sound"' is really made up of waves, of different lengths transmitted through the air-vi-brations of .the atmosphere around us. Just as the waves of the sea are broken up wheu'they come in contact' with a rock, these sound waves may be shat tered or diffused by strikikng an obstacle," though they will pene trate for a surprising distance through walls , of , solid rock or other dense material. ' On land, sound waves cannot travel far without coming in con tact with something which im pedes their "progress Houses, trees, mountains 3ll these prevent the waves traveling very far, 'while the multitude ; of other sounds" 4serve to deaden or coun teract the original yioise.. On the sea, however, or onlargejlake, .where the shore line is sufficient ly distant, sound travels a long distance, becauscthcre is nothing in the path of j,the sound waves and, moreover." th water itself acts as an excellent Conductor for the vibrations.

' Miss Murray 'wasn't a graduate nurse nor would she be entitled to the white uniform for a matter -of some six months. . However, being a senior in charge of the third floor of the Lakeview hospital carried with it more duties than a graduate nurse ever could have. Especially so since, added to the business of keeping her eye on the probics, she had also been assigned to N. 301. The man in that room said his name was John Smith but he couldn't remember where he had lived or anything about his past ex cept that he had been struck by an automobile that speeded away un apprehended. . .. Arriving at tlje hospital' two days before, he had impressed, the super intendent nurse as being41' seriously in need of medical attendance, part ly because of the anguish: in his face, but more especially because of, his obviously demented state as evidenced by a' certain violence when he was informed that he could not i enter every room in the hosr pital for the purpose of discovering whether or not a woman he was seeking could be found within its doors. The superintendent had endeav ored to learn the, name of the patient he was so desirious of finding, but John Smith thought merely thought that her name was Mary, and if his memory had not failed him entirely he also thought her last name was Brown. There was no Mary Brown at the Lakeview but in some way John Smith was per suaded to go up to No. 301 and here he remained two days, not from any desire to . remain, but because. Miss Murray watched him so closely that he had no chance to leave. The night t before he had en deavored to make an exit by means of'a window and Miss Murray had peen forced to call help. I he help came in the form of a young interne, Dr. Edward Jackson. The window had .been fastened securely after that and No. 301. refusing to close his eyes had sat on the edge of the white bed and srlarcd at the little nurse between him and the door. He had incidentally hurled a telephone at Dr. Jaskson accompanied by language that left no doubt in Miss Mrrays mindthat John Smith was a vicious patient and a profane man. At 7 o clock the following morn ing John Smith from sheer exhaus tion fell back onto the pillow and slept at .least Miss Murray be lieved him to be asleep. Consequent ly she tiptoed from the room and returned to her desk in the corridor. "Good morning," began Dr. Jack son as he saw her sitting there., , Great blue eyes lifted, to his and she answered. "Is it good morning? I had rather thought that it wasn't. The baby came in 300 last night. A boy. Going to live, too." t "Corking boy," answered the young interne, "Mother isn't quite so depressed now. Think she's go- Ling to come on all right." Foor Iittie woman. It , would have been a mercy if she could haveJ iu!ii me nuie cnap., ane s ioo Iran to face the world alone with a baby." The young man's face clouded. "I don't think &ou mean that, Anne. No woyian ever feels that way about her own baby." ' "I suppose not, but what a trick love plays on a -voman when it per suades her to give her heart to man. From that time on she never knows what life has in store for her. 300 is pretty. Can you imagine what kind of a beast a .man would have to be in order, to desert a woman like her?", ; . ,r . . "You're too young for this sort of life, Anne. . You're growing pessi mistic. Now you oughf to marry me and " "Not another word of that please," faltered Anne. "I'll never marry." "Why?" - .;" . "For one reason, because I see too, many fiendish brutes like 301 and and because. thee ae too many women in the world likp 300.' v, "But - Anne. I'm not a. 'ficndish brute. You can't blame me because, you happen to have a patient "like , or John Smith." . "You can't blame me either if I don't want to be disillusioned. . You see I think you're rather wonderful now and maybe ." Just at that moment a ' nurse passed them with a muffled mite -of humanitjr, irrher arms. They watched her turn into the djor,of 300. Suddenly Miss Murray was upon her feet. She had seen the door 301 open and,had watched the figure of the tall man rush across the hall way and turn into the door left open by the nurse. "He's going to try and jump out of that window since he's found Jus own fastened." And Miss Jdurray sped away after her patient- On the thr.eshhold of 300 '' she paused, caught her breath a'nd re mained silent. The baby had been placed in its mother's arms and the nurse had stepped back from the bed. The man looked for ,a moment into the eyes of the- sick woman, uttered a 1 More Truth By JAMES J. 1 I . L THOUGHTS ON WORMS A Colorado pntomolysrist ftialsts that insects would provide us with excellent food were it not tor our prejudices. V We have no doubt that bran and hay are filling; We're not averse to dietetic stunts; , - We've eaten whale and shark, and we are willing To sample almost any creature once. We quite applaud the scientist's endeavor To build synthetic food of harmless drugs, But not for any reason whatsoever . Will we eat bugs. We're fond of bugs we think they're pretty creatures The bugs that fly the bugs that squirm and crawl The ugliest have their redeeming features, We know they must' be useful, one and all. We like to watch the butterflies at twilight, To see them sail on every breezev that stirs, , We like, to watch the moths above the skylight :- Though not in furs. But while we have no doubt that they're nutritious And cooked with butter sauce would likely make A dish as appetizing and delicious As oysters, fish, or even sirloin steak, . We feel that there's a squashiness about them, A And we are sure we'd rather do without them; Though starved for food, The lusty trout has np such stern objections--Whatever bug he finds delights his soul He eats the angle worm in writhing sections , And swallows bettles, gnats and locusts whole. But though the trout may to the moth aspire, ..".When he observes him, perched upon a limb, We'll eat the- insect food we may require When we eat him. ' .

Slowly the woman's hand reached out and touched his hair. Her eyes had dropped shut but her lips wore a smile the first that had come to them since she had been brought to the Lakeview. "Mary," the man was saying, "lire found you." ' - "Found me," she: answered softly. "You could have found me any time by going back home." , "Mary, what's my name, he went on. "John John Sriiith."

"An accident," he explained hur riedly. "Wasn't hurt apparently -buf when I gotlo my feet I just couldn't remember things.

Parents Problems How can the use of slang best be overcome in high school boys and girls? A certain amount of slang would seem to be almost inevitable. So long as it is harmless, perhaps it need not be too stringently met. But it should not be encouraged, nor ac cepted. A society for the suppres sion of slang often helps especial ly if the grown-ups join with the children, and keep the rules or pay the fines. PHOTOPLAYS.
