CHILDREN’S BEDTIME STORY

THE GREEDY COUSINS NOW that Jack Frost had opened the chestnut burrs and the hickory husks the Merry Little Breezes saw a chance to help some of their friends. Ever since they had been unable to get anyone to play with them they had wished and wished that they might find some work to do. Everyone else, at least nearly every one else, was so very busy making ready for winter that the Merry Little Breezes were beginning to .feel just a wee bit ashamed to be doing nothing but play all day long. It was the sight of those open burrs and husks that gave one of them an idea. “I tell you what, we can help Chatterer the Red Squirrel and Happy Jack and Striped Chipmunk, and it will be great fun cried the Merry Little Breezes. “How?” asked all the others, crowding around eagerly. “Look up in the top of that tall

chestnut tree, and tell me what you see,” cried the Merry Little Breeze who had first spoken. All the other Merry Little Breezes looked up in the top of the tall chestnut tree and for a few minutes no one ^aid a word. At last one of them spoke: “I don’t see anything that I haven’t seen every day lately, except that Jack Frost has pinched open the burrs so that we can see the brown nuts. He must have done that last night.” “That’s just it!” cried the first Merry Little Breeze. “Yesterday those burrs were closed, but today they are open and that gives us a chance to

help, the squirrel cousins. Don’t you see now?” But the other Merry Little Breezes didn’t see, and they said so. “Watch me J” shouted the first' Merry Little Breeze, and raced over to the tall chestnut tree. He shook ttie topmost branch on which were several wideopen burrs and out fell the brown nuts and rattled down through the leaves to the ground all around Happy Jack Squirrel, who was just starting to climb the tree. He didn't keep on climbing. No, indeed. Without so much as a look up to see what had made those brown nuts fall. Happy Jack scampered after them. You see, he was afraid that if he left them lying there his cousin -Chatterer, or his oth er cousin, little Striped Chipmunk, would come along and find them. So Happy Jack scurried about hunting for tho^e , brown nuts the Merry Little Breeze had shaken down, and when he found them he hurried to hide them. The other Merry Little Breezes saw right away what the first Merry Little Breeze meant by a way in which to help the squirrel cousins. 'lTiey would just shake the brown nuts down and save Happy Jack and Chatterer the trouble of climbing, the tall trees to gather the nuts. It would not only save them trouble and real work, but also he -a great deal of fun. They always did like to shake trees, apd now it would be more fun than ever because it would really and truly be helping others. So each one hastened to shake a branch, and the hiyiwn nuts fell and rattled down like raindrops. Now Chatterer, the Red Squirrel, had been passing on his way to a hickory tree, but when he heard those brown nuts rattling among the leaves on the ground, he came hurrying over to see what it meant, and his bright eyes sparkled as he saw so many nuts on the ground just waiting to be picked up and carried away. He darted forward to fill his cheeks with them, only to Have Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel rush at him angrily. “Those are my nuts’” shouted Hap py Jack,, and his voice w’as very harsh and angry. “They are not!” screamed Chatterer. “They don’t belong to anyone until they have been picked up. I have just, as much right to them as you have. You don’t own the tree. I guess If 1 want them I’ll take them and you can’t stop me.” “I found the tree first, and they belong to me!” barked Happy Jack. “If you don’t go away and leave them alone I’ll make you sorry!” Jack ground his long sharp teeth in a way not at all pleasant to hear. The Merry Little Breezes stopped shaking the branches of the tall chestnut tree and' looked down in dismay. It seemed to them there were trees enough for both, but here were these two cousins so greedy that they were quarreling and growing angrier every minute. It was quite dreadful. ©. 1933. by T. W.

FISH and' shell fish are two of our most extensive sources of food, and in some form are found in almost all parts of oijr country. Where it is possible to get the fresh fish, one may always feel sure of a delightful dish, and even canned fish and shell fish are to be prized. Deviled Clams. Take 25 fresh or canned clams. If fresh, chop the hard portions and cook slowly for ten minutes In three tablespoonfuls of butter and add one minced pepper and onion. Now add one-half poynd of sliced mushrooms and cook three minutes. Add onehalf teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth teaspoonful of celery seed and four tablespoonfuls of flour. Cook until smooth, adding two cupfuls of milk very gradually. Now add the soft parts of the crabs or clams and pour into buttered ramekins. Cover with well-buttered crumbs and bake until brown.

boiling salted (water until tender. When tender, remove the onion and mash, adding butter, cream or milk, and seasoning to taste. Prepare the fish and salt well on the inside before putting in the stuffing. Sew up and rub the fish well with flour, cut diagonal slashes on each side of the back bone and insert live narrow strips of salt pork. Dust with salt, pepper, and celery salt. Pour around the fish a can of condensed tomato soup, one tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce one tablespoonful of catsup and one third of a cupful of water. Bake until tender, serve garnished with sliced cooked eggs and the tomato sauce ooured over all. Any fresh fish stuffed and baked, if hasted with a snappy french dressing, a bit of garlic or onion juice several times during the cooking, will be very much finer flavored. ©. 1933.

Swatosh’s Storm Theory

All storms are caused by magnetic influences in the upper atmosphere, which revolves around the earth, says Joseph S. Swatosh. “Then there is also the Heaviside layer, which likewise revolves in about three years.” He believes holes develop in this layer, due to lack of resistance to the magnetic influences of the upper atmosphere, named by him the “stratospherode,” causing wind or rain on the earth. From such a point, storms spread out along storm lines.

Two Frenchmen, Doctor Magnan of the College of France and Doctor SainteLague of the Conservatory of Crafts and Trades, have evolved a new theory on wings for man.
