running to and fro. And Rusty
W'tcii became . more curious than
ever. It was pla'ti, to him, that
something unusual was afoot. And
he wanted to know what it was.
"Can't I help you?'' he asked in his
Shrillest tones, 'lying close to Grand
father Mole and .speaking almost in
his ear only Grandfather Mole had
no ears, so far as Rusty Wren could
see. "Can't I help you?')
"Yes, you can!" Gran Hither Mole
i'li.-wered at last. "If you vish to
help me, for pity's sake go away and
keep still! I don't want the whole
neighborhood to come a-ruiming.
The cat will be here the first thing
wtf know." ,
Rusty Wren felt sure. then, that
Grandfather Mole was in trouble.
And if he was worried about Farmer
Green's cat, why didn't he dig a
hole for himself at once, and get out
tf harm' way?
Since -Rusty Wren didn't know,
lie asked Grandfather Mole in little
more than a whisper. But Grand
father Mole. only shook his head im
patiently, ? s if to sav that digging
a hole wouldn't help him ibis time.
Meanwhile some of Rusty Wren's
friends had come uo to see what was
going on. And talking in tow tone,
so ; that they wouldn't, attract the
cat's. attention, they agreed. with him
that there was some rqystery about
Grand-athcr Mole. But not, pne. of
them knew what it could be. '
"He's lost something !'V . "Rusty
Wren declared. '
"There's' no doubt of that," Jolly
Robin chimed in
"What can It;.; be?" little Mr!
Chinpy piped in bis thin voice.
"I know!" Rusty Wren exchimed
abjuptlvv. "It's his bearings! Grand
father Mole has lost his bearings!"

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
.By H. IRVING KING.
, St. Swithin's Day.
Every year on the 15th of July mil
lions of people in the English-speaking
world watch the skies anxiously
to see if it is likely to rain before
night. And every year the newspa
pers state that the meteorological
records do not bear out the old say
ing: tf. Swithin's tlay, if It do rain, for forty
days It will remain;
t Snithln's day, if tt b fair, for forty
days 'twill rain no lnair.
Cut what is' a iuctoroogical record
when confronted by a superstition?
It is not necessary that a supersti
tion should work every time. If it
works now and then it is enough to
render it "exempt from niuVbility
and decay." And the St. SKithiu
(superstition docs work occasionally.
Swithin was lord chancellor of
England, a great lawyer and a great
( -gutcsman. He superintended- the
education of King Alfred and in
stilled into him those virtues and
. that " learning which caused him to
be afterwards known as Alfred the
Great. It was through his states
manship that the seven states of the
Heptarchy were consolidated into
the kingdom of England. The
chancellor died directing that his
holy be buried in the churchyard
t'.mong the poor. One legend says
he chose a spot where the rains
might drip on his grave from the
cl urch eves. On July 15, 109 years
la;er, with great pomp the chancel-
' lor's remains were removed . to a
ioiiib within the church. A great
storm fJme on and it rained for 40
days. And there you have a full
iiorn. robust superstition which
grows young with the ages. It is
s?id that Swithin was never regu
larly canonized, buCwas called saint
after his stormy protest at his trans
ition! (Copyright, 1921. by th MrClura Keti

More Truth Than Poetry
WHY-
I'M THE GUY
; By JAMES J. MONTAGUE r
CASABLANCA
(IT it had been written fir the movies)
The boy stood on the burning deck
Whence oil, but he had fled,
The flames leaped up around his neck' -
And singed his curly head.
He might have tumbled overboard,
But moving picture gents,
In times of peril, can't afford
To use their common sense.
From shore, in accents of concern :
Spectators called to him:
."If you stay there, you yap, you'll burn!
Jump .in the drink and swim!"
.Alas the hero's answer was:
"1 best had stay and stew ; '
. 1. really should, you know, because
My papa told me to."
The flames approached the magazine 1
Just underneath the kid
(The .titles, sandwiched in between
The pictures said they did.) .
But ere the blow up shot the lad
And ship to parts remote,
Across the rocking waves like mail
Approached the fire boat.
The heroine stood by the hose;
With sure and steady aim,
The while the billows fell and rose
Slje played it on the flame. '
And as the unexploded bark
'I he wanton ocean laved,
The drama closed with the remark : '
In two foot letters:
"SAVED"!

Parents Problems
Should an, effort be made to over
come "baby talk" in small children?
Again tfiis is a question i of opin
ion. Some persons think that it is
not desirable to allow "baby talk.''
Their feeling is that the child should
be helped from the . beginning to
speak correctly. Others think that
correct speech will come in good
time and that meanwhile the "babv
talk" has its place as it certainly
has its great charm.

biles in Canada are found in rural

Do Dogs Howl When They Hear
Music ?
If vou will notice closelv, you
will sec that not all music causes
dogs to howl ot "sing," as many
persons contend that tney arc do
ing when the music starts. Only
the violin, cornet, fife or some other
high-pitched instrument causes them
to give vent to the doleful sounds,
and herein lies the solution of the
mystery..
Xaturc, which has endowed the
dog with poor eyesight, has com
pensated for -this, by making his
senses of smell an hearitfg ex
tremely acute. He au recognize
odors which are far too fine for the
iruman nose to notice, and he can
pick up sounds which make no im
pression whatever upon the car-1
drums. This, of course, means that
these organs are exceptionally sen
sitive, and it is' this that leads to
the howling of dogs while certain
kind.; of music are being played.
The high piercing notes of the vio
lin or comet strike against the dog's
delicate auditory apparatus with
such force that they cause acute
pain, and he gives vent to his feel
ings by telling the world that he is
being hurt,, just as a human being
would cry out if someone stuck a
pin in bis ear.

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Learn to Explain Your Ideas.
'There are some persons who,
when they want a thing done, send
out an S. O. S. call, as it were, for
help, and theit, if it is not forthcom
ing when they expect it, are dis
gusted with humanity in general.
If you know perfectly what you
want, why not do it yourself, and
then you will hate no one to blame
but yourself if it is not done to your
satisfaction? . '
Why blame another for not doing
what you yourself are not doing?
The fact is that when one person
has an original idea, it is naturally
stronger and more clear in the mind
of the one who conceived it.
No matter how vivid the imagina
tion of the fellow with the idea, it
cannot be transferred to another
without considerable effort.
The fact of telling it and working
out the details orally takes some of
the original energy which might
better be used personally to put it
over.
And if you don't tell it in detail,
how can you -show another how it
looks?
You cannot expect to find anyone
who will have the same enthus:asm
you have for your own ideas; make
up your mind to that, and you won't
be disappointed. "
Lots of persons are wishing for
opportunities which they would riot
take as a gift on a silver platter.

So 1 try curving , the , ball,
Anyone can knock down the pins
by rolling the ball right at the king
pin. That's mere child's play. '
s Besides by playing safe like that,
you may bowl over only a few.
: But it takes a lot of skill to curve
the ball and make a clean sweep.
And that's what I aim at.
II have done .it, too. I can't say
that it's been very often, still I have
done it.
Is it my fault, if the ball rolls off
the alley before-it reaches the pius?
Or if it just picks off'one, can 1 help
it? . r
It must be the fault of the alley,
it's uneven, or sqmeone put rosin
on it. Or perhaps the ball isn't
smooth enough, , , " i -

' The carneliau is today's talisman ic
stone, it was believed by the ancients
to 'bring good luck to its wearer,
protect him from all evil, and bring
hope and good cheer to the women
to whom it 'i was -given. It is also
said to bring especial good fortune
to singers and public speakers.
Today's natal gerti is the emerald,
which brings assurance to those who
appear in publirfas speakers; it also
bestows on its wearer the power to
foretell future events, if the ancients
