They were wholly on beechnuts. He Is very fond of beechnuts, Is Buster Bear, and it was to look for beechnuts that he had come to that particular part of the Green Forest that particular night You see it was the part of the Green Forest whore the beech trees grow.

Buster wasn’t growling. He was talk ing to himself. “There is a little pile of leaves 1 haven’t raked over yet,” he was saying. “There ought to be some nice sweet nuts in among those leaves. Can’t think of anything better than nice sweet beechnuts. Wish they were bigger. 1 certainly do wish they were bigger. It takes a lot of work to find , enough to fill the stomach of such a big fellow as I am. It would be a lot easier If It were not for these pesky leaves. Seems as if nuts just dearly love to hide under leaves. Wish they grew the way berries grow. It would be a lot easier to get enough If they did. Now we'll see how many I’ll find ' under these leaves.” By this time he was near enough to reach out a great paw with Its dreadful claws. Danny saw that great paw ' starting toward him.

THROUGH A Wxnans Eyes By JEAN NEWTON A NEW SLANT ON BEING DULL ONE of our friends writes to us about the type of woman who la always so sure of herself, so positive in her opinions that she makes everyone else feel mowed down by what she says. We all know the type, of course, to which the reference is made; the person who never offers an opinion, but seems, when she speaks, to be issuing the last word on the subject It Is the type who Is never questioning, never doubtful, always absolutely final and positive. And the subject In question makes little difference. She seems as our reader suggests, to “know it aH." There is, of course, no type more Irritating, more dampening, so to speak, to the enjoyment of conversa-

Serve it with cream cheese, apple sauce, or topped with whipped cream, and It is always a welcome dessert The following is an old recipe which Is always good: Hot Water Ginger Bread. Beat one egg, add one cupful of sugar, a . teaspoonful of salt one-half cupful of sweet melted fat, one cupful of good dark molasses and three cupfuls of flour with a tablespoonful of ginger. Mix and stir well, then add a cupful of boiling water to which a teaspoonful of soda has been added, stir until smooth, then pour into a good sized dripping pan and bake 40 minutes in a moderate oven. Cut while hot with a fork or two, so that It will not be soggy. Frozen Boston Pudding. Break into bits <>r grate a half-pound of brown bread a day old, pour over one pint of boiling hot cream and let < It stand until cool.

The woman who has that unfortunate quality would have It were she lawyer, doctor, or housewife. Not long ago 1 was' reading a little essay on the quality of dullness which so perfectly described the mental attitude brought up by our reader, that 1 lam going to quote it here: “There is a quality in certain peo- ’ pie which is above all advice, expos- ‘ ure or correction. Only let a man or woman have dullness sufficient, and they need bow to no extant authdr- ’ Ity. A dullard recognises no betters; a dullard can’t see that he is in the J wrong; a dullard has no scruples of ' conscience, no doubts of pleasing.or 1 succeeding, or doing right; no qualms ’ for other people's feelings, no respect 1 but for the fool himself." 1 That may be pretty strong, but I 1 think It is far more fair to attribute 1 the overbearing and overpoeitlve to the simple quality of being dull than ! to attribute it to the effect of any one ’ nroftaslon „ •I • B.«Sradieata.—WNUfcntok ***'

I Ireland Long Land of “Saints and Scholars”

There is no encyclopedic record c of the exact phrasing of the tribute I so long accorded Ireland. “Island of 1 Saints and Scholars.” but perhaps i the following facts will be enlighten- 1 ing: ' i The Introduction of Christianity 1 Into Ireland was not attended with 1 bloodshed as in many other coun- 1 tries; indeed, afterward the nation : seems to have enjoyed a season of repose from strife, although south- ’ ern Europe was being over-run by the Germanic hordes. This repose favored the growth and expansion cl Christianity and the progress of learning. The schools and monasteries founded by St. Patrick and his bishops In the Fifth century became the centers from which went forth many scholars, and even as early as the Sixth century Ireland became the seat of western learning. Its monasteries were the schools whence missionaries who disseminated the Ghristinn faith throughout ContinenItal Eur<»;>e proceeded. Diocesan organization as understood in countries f under the Roman law was unknown in early Ireland. Consequently there was not that limitation of the num ber of bishops that territorial jurisdiction renders necessary, and the number of bishops increased beyond all proportion. St. Mochta, abbot of Louth, and reputed disciple of St. Patrick, Is stated to have had no less I than 100 bishops In the monastic I family. These facts may give some I light on the possible appellation of “Laud of Saints and Scholars.” in the Eighth and Ninth centuries the scholars of Ireland were among the most distinguished at the courts of the kings, especially that of Charlemagne. But when the Northmen made their descent on the count-y some of the schools were destroyed and Irish monks and scholars fled to the continent, carrying with them their books. Among them were many ] of the greatest lights in the world =========

LOWER COST PER TON MILE DUE TO FIRESTONE EXTRA CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

QUESTION No. I—" Will the non-skid tread give me the greatest traction and protection against skidding?" ANSWER —The patented construction feature of two extra layers of GumDipped cords under the tread makes it possible for Firestone to use a wider, flatter tread with higher shoulders, that puts more rubber on the road. This, combined with the scientific non-skid design, gives greatest non-skid safety and traction ever known. QUESTION No. 2 —" ls the tire body protected against destructive internal heat, the chief cause of premature tire failure?" I ANSWER —Every cord in Firestone Tires is soaked and saturated in pure, liquid

DECADE MAY SEE WOMAN OCCUPANT OF WHITE HOUSE A woman President for these United States? The suggestion comes straight from the White House, in an article written by Col. Louis Howe, President Roosevelt’s secretary, for the Woman’s Home Companion. “During the next decade,” he says, “not only the possibility, but the advisability of electing a woman President of the United States will become a very seriously argued question. “And if the issues continue to be as they are now—humanitarian, educational, etc. —it is not outside the bounds of possibility that a woman might not only be nominated, but elected, on the ground that women better understand such questions than men.” Colonel Howe’s comment on women's ways in politics are all quite! revolutionary. "Within the next ten years," he says, “the women's vote will become larger than the men's cn all important elections. The reason is this: that when a woman believes anything politically she believes It, and her conviction is real enough and strong enough to lead her to the polls, even in bad weather when it would be much more con-
