Ask Peter Rabbit. He knows. Yes, indeed, he knows. It is bad enough not to be believed when one is not telling the truth, but to tell the truth and then have everybody tell you that they dont believe you is worse still. Anyway, Peter Rabbit thinks so. To make it worse, it was great news that Peter had to tell, and, of course, he might just as well have had no news at all. It all came from Peters curiosity to see the deepest part of the Green the stillness. Anyway, thats what he said. And it was so lonesome there that Peter would have been afraid of his own shadow had he seen it. He had made up his mind that no one ever visited that part of the Green Forest, at least not in the winter time, when suddenly he saw tracks. And such tracks! It was those tracks that had made Peter all his present trouble. You see, no one would believe Peter when he told about those tracks. The first one Peter saw after getting back to the dear Old Briar Patch was Sammy Jay, and though Peter doesnt like Sammy, he just had to tell him about those strange tracks. They were as big as the tracks Farmer Browns boy, said Peter, his big eyes round with excitement. Probably he made them, said Sammy Jay shortly. But they were not his tracks, only something like his the ones he makes in the mud around the Swimming Pool when he goes swimming in the summer, and you know as well as I do that he never makes that kind of tracks in the winter, Sammy Jay, cried Peter. Sammy looked sharply at Peter and began to laugh. Peter hurried on, Besides, They Were as Big as the Tracks whoever made those tracks had Said of Farmer Browns Boy, claws! Peter, His Big Eyes Round With claws, great, great big Excitement. of Forest when everything was cov- ered with snow. Of course, he had to satisfy that curiosity. It wouldnt have been like Peter not to have done so. So off he went all by himself way into the deepest part of the Green Forest, close to the foot of the Great Mountain, and there he fotind it so still that he could feel FOR Sammy laughed harder than ever and in the most provoking way. Do you expect me to believe any such story as that, Peter Rabbit? he demanded. You better not talk to me about not telling the truth when you tell such a story as that, and off flew Sammy, still laughing to think that Peter should try to make him believe such a foolish story. Peter looked after him and scratched his head thoughtfully. Those tracks did look something like those of Farmer Browns boy, he muttered. They were rounder, but they were big and they had toes and'well, perhaps they didnt look very much like them, but they did look something like them, and I said something. I believe Ill go tell Chatterer the Red Squirrel about them. But Chatterer laughed at Peter just as Sammy Jay had. Youve had a bad dream, Peter. Thats whats the matter with you; Who ever heard of any one in the Green Forest who made tracks like those. Why, Bowser the Hound makes the biggest tracks with claw marks, as you ought to know by this time. Youve had a dream, Peter, and now you better run away and forget it. It was the same way with Tommy Tit the Chickadee and Mrs. Grouse and Billy Mink, and every one else he told the story to. Every one laughed at him and no one believed him. Poor Peter grew quite miserable, for he knew what his eyes had seen, and it was dreadfully hard to be laughed at and have fun poked at him just because he insisted that he had seen those strange tracks.

It is worn over a crepe dress in a vivid flower print. By Roger B. ECONOMY-CO- AL Whitman OR OIL? QUESTION that continually comes up is on the relative economy of heating a house by coal or by oil. There can be no general answer, because of the many conditions that enter in. For one thing, a coal fire run by hand may not be efficient; much good coal may go out with the ashes. It is unusual to find a household heating plant, stoked by hand, in which as much as 60 per cent of the heat in coal is actually utilized. An oil burner, on the other hand, when properly installed and adjusted, runs with much higher efficiency, and for this reason a comparison of operating costs might be unfair. With a coal stoker, a more accurate comparison can be made, because of the higher efficiency that is possible with a machine over hand methods. The running conditions of an oil burner are quite different from those of a coal fire. A coal fire continually delivers heat, and with no extreme difference in temperature between smoldering and burning with full draft. An oil burner, on the other hand, is either delivering no heat at all, or producing a temperature far higher than a coal fire running at full blast. In p boiler designed for coal, the movement of hot air and gases through its inside passages is comparatively slow; there is ample time for heat to be absorbed by the metal. With an oil burner attached to the same boiler, the heated gases pass through at much higher speed; a speed that may not allow sufficient time for the metal to pick up a large proportion of the heat. Much of the heat is wasted up the chimney. Some boilers designed for coal have long The thing we dream may yet come true, Perhaps because we dream it, Or else this world is world all through. And not the world we deem it. The thing we dream, if dreamed f with faith, With faith that will not waver, If dreamed with faith is not a wraith, But something surer, braver. The thing we are decides our way. Perhaps because we will it, Or else this world is only clay, A hole, and dirt to fill it. The thing we are, the thing within, Decides, not things without us; The thing we are will make or mar, And shape the world about us. Douglas Malloch. : WNU Service, n ZIAZ1D A By Leicester K.

Only clean, fresh, infertile eggs should be put down in water glass. Dirty eggs will spoil and, if they are washed, the protective coating which prevents spoilage is removed. Cracked eggs should never be used. Even minute cracks may cause spoilage and contamination of the other eggs in the jar. It is a wise precaution to candle every egg before putting it into the water glass high-produci- I eM ng solution. A crock or jar will hold dozen eggs with room for at least two inches of water glass solution above them. The container should be thoroughly cleaned and scalded and allowed to dpr before it is used. It is a good idea, too, to set it where the eggs are to be stored, as it is difficult to move safely when filled with eggs To prepare the solution, boil nine gallons of water, then cool. Add one quart of sodium silicate, or water glass, which can be bought in most drug stores, and mix well in the container. Put eggs carefully into the solution to avoid cracking them.
