As Duncy marched along the street, one of the Tinies cried, “That’s neat. You’d make a real good soldier, if you’d practice for a while,” “Oh, T will train these men, real well, until at Christmas they’ll be swell. Right now they wind up fine,” replied wee Duncy, with a smile. Then Jack Frost said, “Let’s let him go, and I will very quickly show the rest of you some other work that Santa Claus wants done. “Just follow me and we will find the doll shop, if you tots don’t mind.” "Oh, that’s where I would like to work,’’ said Dotty. “ ’Twill be fun.” “Well, say, that’s fine,’ said old Jack Frost. "The rest of you please don’t get lost. Just wait right here till i return. It will not take me long. ’’One tot is all I need, just now. I’ll quickly show Miss Dotty how to fix up all the dolls. I’m sure that she’ll do nothing wrong.”

THE sun and the moon appear about the same size to observers on earth, but the sun actually has a diameter 400 times that of the moon. Since the moon is only about 239,00 miles away, and the sun is about 92,900,000, the enormous difference in size is not recognized. * * * NEXT—Can sea-lions stand erect?

A smile soon spread on Dotty’s face. “Oh, dolls are all around the | place,” she shouted. “But they’ve no eyebrows. They're funny as can be.” “Ah, that's the work that’s up to j you. They’ll have eyebrows when I you are through. You're going to ! paint them on. It is as easy as can be.” A pot of paint then was brought | out. “You've used a brush before, ino doubt,” said Jack. And Dotty | answered, “Sure I have. It's heaps j of fun. “I’m sure that I can do this task |in any way that you may ask. I’ll J paint the eyebrows on real care- | fully, so they won't run.” Then Jack Frost sauntered through the door to join the other tots once more. Fair Dotty set to work on dolls of almost every size. “Now, dollies, hold real still,” said she. “You’ll soon be pretty as can be. I must be careful, so the paint i does not get in your eyes.”

Tuberculosis caused 21 deaths and typhoid fever and cere-bro-spinal meningitis accounted for one death each. Chicken pox led with 228 cases of the 499 reported. Then came mumps with 91. scarlet fever 65. whooping cough 60. diphtheria 34. tuberculosis 11 and measles nine. There were 13 deaths from auto accidents. Births outnumbered i deaths by 478 to 430.

TARZAN AND THE FIRE GODS

As Boris Garetto drew his revolver to fire at Tarzan. Hobash, the baboon king, sprang fiercely upon him. The menacing weapon clattered harmless to the ground; but in the confusion the desperate brigand chieftain wriggled free and lost himself in the struggling throng.

Knowing that this quarter of Africa would never have peace until the wicked Garetto had been destroyed, Tarzan plunged in to find him; but the man had vanished. After awhile. Hobash screamed from atop the rampart, and Tarzan saw Garetto far away, racing across the plain.

With him were Niarchus and the remnant of the Baalites who had survived the battle. Evidently they were hastening to a refuge in the eerie Temple of Baal and the Fire Gods. And now Tarzan set out in grim pursuit, followed by Hobash and a score of swift ba'Doons.

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

The fugitives had a long start and dusk wa falling when Tarzan and his company reached the ravine that took them to the temple. The apeman cautioned his reckless allies, for the dark intricate corridors of the rock-hewn edifice exposed them all to swift ambush!
