Dr. Whitnisr told or conditions in

tients in the hospital of which he
was in charsc. and sooke at some
length of the menace of Japan on the
Pacific. ..
'Japan is called the dandelion of
the Pacific," he said, "and if she is
allowed to spread unmolested we will
have the same kind of a problem on
our hands that we would have with
our lawns were nothing done to erad
icate the dandelion. Japan is now
under the control of the military
party and until that party is over
thrown we shall have to deal with a
nation dominated by military habits."
Dr. Whitinar spoke hopefully ot

CHAPTER XVI.
A Midnight Meal
Down in the cellar of the farm
house, a fat couple known as Mr.
and Mrs. Moses Mouse crept out
of a hole under the pantry floor
and ran down a post to the cellar
bottom.
"Things have come to a pretty
pass!" Mr, Mouse grumbled. "Mrs.
Green never did leave more than a
crumb or two in the pantry where
a fellow could get it. And since
Miss Snooper came to live here
there's less to eat than ever."
Mrs. Mouse nodded her head
somewhat dolefully. k
"Do you remember, Moses," she
said to her husband, "what delicious
bits of stale cheese Mrs. Green used
to serve for us here in the cellar,
stuck on a short piece tf wife? To
be sure, she was somewhat thought
lessthe wav she left that danger

snao over and catch you behind die
cars if vou weren't careful. But
you were always very skillful at
avoiding that.
"Ahl Those were happy days
or I would say, nights!" Mr. Mouse
fully, Being quite plump, he wis
a bit Uy. And he did not care to
scramble up to a shelf for nothing.
"Nol" his wile replied.
"There isn't one ilh a little

is there?" he asked her.
Not" said Mrs. Moue. "Not
onel I suppose Miss Snooper has
licked them all clein." '
"That dinagreeible Miss Snooper
has spoiled everything for us,"
Moses Mouse declared. And for a
fut gentleman he looked oddly un
happy. "I don't know what we'll do for
our supper," he whined. He always
whined when he was hungry,
"There's that chunk of putty that
Firmer Green left in the woodshed,"
his wife reminded him.
"Ugh!" Moses Mouse made a wry
face. "We've dined upon that for
the last three nights. And I never
did like putty, anyhow. I wish that
snooping Miss Snooper had to eat
it." His mounful eyes roved about
the cellar until they rested on some
thing in a dark corner. "What's in
that box over there?" he asked Mrs.
Mousj.
"I don't know," she answered.
"Well go and see, then!" he
snapped. "I'm so faint I can scarce
ly stand."
Mrs!. Mouse aUsys humored
when ' he was hungry. She knew
that he was n'ver fretful after he
had enten a good meal. Se her feet
twinkled across the cellar floor and
she disappeared inside the box.
Not hearing anything from her,
Moses Mouse soon grew more im
patient than ever.
"Well!" he sang out. "What luck?"
"Potatoes!" came his wife's muf-

a shelf and looked at the labels on
several iars of iam and jelly that
stood there in a row.
Moses Mouse watched her hope-

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
The jacinth, today't Ulismanic
gem, mut be worn around the neck
if its powers are to be beneficial to
the wearer. It brings freedom from
contagious diseases, and assures the
traveler of safctv no matter what
misfortune may befall thoe around
him, according to the ancients.
The onyx, today's natal stone, pro
tects its wearer from the ardors of
unwelcome love, and endows him
with coolness and poie.
Black should be worn today, ac
cording to the orientals. It is sym
bolic of constancy, and especially or
married women is it potent, assuring
them of the devotion of their hus
bands, the orientals declare.
' The pansy is today's flower ayo
lolic of thoughtfuliiVtt; they bring
good judgment to those who wear
them.

Parents' Problems
' How can a child be taught to be'
. . 1
grnrroutr
Obviouly, a child should be taught
first of all to share his goodies, hiji
toys and his pleasures witirhis little
friends as a matter of course. Also
there are plenty of clastic , stories
which picturesquely emphasise the
virtue of generosity. I am a great
believer in the power of suggestion
through good literature.
Swedish inventors claim to have
perfectly synchronized speaking mo
tion pictures by mounting the pic
ture and sound reproducing films
