His Majesty** Seamen Must Have Their Grog
ONE DAY IN

Ip VERY day the tars on British war-
ships receive a ration of grog and
drink a toast to the king's health. This
photograph was made aboard H. M. S.
Dundeip’ of the British West Indies fleet
which was paying New York a brief visit.
The officer at the right is seeing the men
get what is coming to them—and no
more.
I CAN remember my old Granddad
sitting
Beside me on the wagon, flicking flies
Trom the roan team, his pipe 'filled
with tobacco, V ,
Surveying the shorn fields with wise
old eyes, •

And as I looked at him, I heard the
creaking ^
Of the off wa^on wheels, and knew
right well
What he would say. He wasn’t much
for talking,
And he sat silent now for quite a
spell
But when he spoke, though 1 was very
little,
I knew JUst what he meant < • . I’d-
heard loud speaking
And bragging folks, sndJaTfghed when
Grandpa muttered: 1
“The weakest wagon wheel does the
most squeaking!” — -

LIGHTFOOT THE DEER BECOMES
UNEASY
T HE Green Forest was very beauti
ful. It was no longer green save
where the pines and spruces and hem
locks grew. Everywhere else It was
red and yellow and brown, for It was
October and the leaves had turned. All/
day long and all the night, too. for
that matter, there was a gentle rustling
all through the Green Forest, for the
leaves were falling.
Llghtfoot the Deer was becoming
uneasy. It was the rustling of the
falling leaves that made him uneasy.
You see those falling leaves had a
message for Lightfoot, a message and
a warning. It was that the season of
terrible danger for him, the hunting
season, was close at hand.
All through the long summer Light
foot had lived in peace and safety. In
the early spring his wonderful antlers,
which some folks call horns, but which
are not true horns, had fallen. Very
helpless had Lightfoot been then, but
despite his helplessness there had
been no fear In his heart. You see.
he knew that there was no one in all
the Green Forest, save Buster Bear,
of whom he need be afraid. It was an
easy matter to keep out of the way of
Buster Bear. Besides, there was little
cause to fear Buster, for Buster was
finding plenty to eat and a full stom
ach makes for good nature in man and
beast.
So all the long summer Lightfoot
the Deer had lived quietly and In
peace while new antlers grew, antlers
larger and more beautiful than those
As long as the leaves had remained
green everywhere through the Green
Forest, Lightfoot had been happy and
carefree, but now 1 that the leaves had
turned to beautiful colors and were
dropping, dropping, dropping day and
night, he grew more and more uneasy
and fear crept into his heart
Lightfoot had a good memory and
he had not forgotten the dreadful
things which had happened at the time
of falling leaves the year before. , He
knew that the season when hunters
with terrible guns would come Into the
Green Forest seeking to kill him was
close at hand. So his uneasiness grew
and grew, and In his beautiful great,
soft eyes the look of fear grew
stronger each day. Only at night was
Lightfoot free of It

VACATION MEALS
One of the new modes in nail polish
is to use red liquid enamel only on the
tip of the nail, leaving the rest of the
nail Its natural color. The very deep
shades of red, sometimes gold or silver
for evening, even green In the new pea
cock tone, are used.

D URING the summer weather Is the
time when everybody should take
a few hours away from the grindstone.
The bouse mother needs a vacation
as much as any worker, but usually,
a picnic is but an added burden unless
everybody takes a hand in planning^
and preparing the food. Have every
thing simple, easy to prepare and then
let the young folks do the work; It
will be good experience and give moth
er a rest, if it Is possible for her to
give up the Idea that no one but fier-
self can pack a lunch.
With the frying pan, take along
some eggs and bacon. Scramble the
eggs, add the crisp bacon which has
been fried and kept hot, serve as a
sandwich- filling, on well buttered
bread. Young, green onions or a sim
ple salad, or a cucumber and radishes,
go well with such sandwiches. For
the youngsters, take milk, lemonade or
cocoa, which may be carried in a
thermos bottle* Coffee, too, may be
prepared at' home, but one of the
pleasures of an outing meal Is cooking
It. Coffee never tastes better than
when cooked in a tin pot or pail on
a campfire.
French fried toast goes very nicely
for a camp hot dish. This Is easy to
prepare by beating an egg, adding a
little milk and a pinch of salt and
sugar. Fry in a' little hot bacon fat
or the slices may be fried on the sheet-
A heather mixture of navy blue and
tan alpaca tweed that looks like
hand knit is used for the skirt and
jacket of this smart three-piece suit
The ribbed blouse, belt and pocket
linings are navy blue. A cowhide
buckle also features this ensemble.
Iron stove, where all may be choked
at once.
Tomato and Egg Sandwich.
Fry an egg on both sides, not too
hard. Put between slices of bread
with sliced tomato and onion. This
makes a good meal with a cupful of hot
coffee.
A piece of bread fried in a very lit
tle bacon fat in a hot frying pan
makes a tasty meal with any green
salad or green onions and radishes.

were growing he kept very much by
himself. Now, they were fully grown
and he wore them like a crown. He
had polished and repolished the points
of them by rubbing them against trees.
You know, while they had been
growing they had bgen covered by a
sort of furry-looking skin, called vel

wag no further use for the velvety
covering ssd this Lightfoot had rubbed

Waiting for Word From Houdinl
x TINE YEARS ago Harry Houdinl, master magician, died. Before he passed
IN away he made a compact with his wife that he would seek to communicate
with her from the beyond, glrffig Tier certain code algnals whereby the might
know when he spoke. In her rustic Laurel Canyon home, near Hollywood,
Calif., Mrs. Beatrice Hondinl waits for. that message. She has waited Bias
years at a shrine in which stands a photograph of the magician.
Both overweight and onderweight
conditions are hazardous to health.
But styles for wom-
tb have placed a
premium on under
weight The alen-
der, boyish figure la
a girl with less
flash than the
should hava to ba,
normal It la en
couraging to hots
that the New Tork
HairoYessers’ and
Cosmetologists' as
sociation, with five
thousand members,
has come out for the plump girls at
against the tfdn ones. They place
more 'weight on graceful curvet than
on sharp angles. The well-nourished
damsel of today should be proud of
her health. For radiant glowing skin
goes with a plump, rounded body.
Painters, sculptors, courtiers and
great lovers have always given the
plump girl the best of it
The esteem for slenderness has been
only faddlsm, just an evanescent Idea.
Long ears, protruding lips and other
fetish customs are confine# only to
local areas. Plump girls are more
normal than slender, skinny ones.
They can think better because they
are healthier. Cleopatra, Venus of
Milo, Fatima were all plump ladles,
even bordering on overweight The
charmers of the Sultan were buxom
women; the Renaissance portrayed
convex and not concave figures aa
their Ideal of feminine beauty. In the
early nineties In this country the
plump Lillian Russell type was In great
demand. And Mae West—she may be
the style of tomorrow.
The anemlc,i slender, underweight
girl will develop Into a plump young
woman if ahe eata the proper food.
Directly after birth the first major bat
tle every little girl baby has to solve
Is to keep her Internal heat regulated
and constant Shi conquers this with
in 24 hours, thien ahe haa another criti
cal problem; namely, to keep her blood
pressure normal and constant A lit
tle gland on top of each kidney takes
care of this—the adrenal or super-
adrenal glands. Then ahe has seven or
eight years of smooth sailing. Con
tagious diseases are all that bother her
at this time.
Bnt when ahe reaches nine years of
age she begins to change. She grows
faster; she becomes more active In
her movements. She Is preparing her
self for womanhood. When she is
eleven or twelve years old, she Is taller
than her brother at the same age. She
now develops rapidly. She Fats
bn weight angles become carves, fst
s deposited around breast and hips;
she blooms out like a morning flower
n springtime. She becomes a woman
almost overnight If ahe stays slender
an# boyish with concave angles, ahe
s not developing along normal lines.
It la just aa natural for a girl to be
come plump when she grows Into
young womanhood aa It la for a flower
o bloom when It la matnre.
Authorities on public health have al
ways been apprehensive about the
slender faddlsm among young women.
Young women can .keep slender only
by modified starvation methods. They
eat little other than dried bran-llke
breakfast foods, moistened with
skimmed milk and swallowed with
the aid of coffee or tea; they religi
ously cut out fats and sweets, and
subsist for the rest of the day mainly
on salads Their* Idea Is to keep the
neutral, Immature, puberty figure of
childhood. And nature never meant n
girlish figure to be n cblldlsb form.
Head colds heavy feelings In head
an# back, and mental sluggishness
with a constipation of Ideas and
thoughts are common among under
nourished young people. An angular,
concave, linear-figured, underfed young
woman may well be an Incubator cul
tivating and propagating vrlonaj^iwT*
of germs
Tonng mothers with plnmp figures
have plenty of vitality-giving vitamins
and other necessary substances stored
In their bodies for the growth *hd
nourishment of their babies Under-
nourished, skinny yonng mothers are at
a disadvantage; they have less reserve
stored np for their Infants There will
fewer disabilities among
mothers If they eat what they should
and eat until hanger Is satisfied. Rat
ing will make them plnmp, put that Is
normal, and they yrlll he much health
ier and very much happier.
The style-makers talk of fuller
for the 1935-36 winter season. Tha
good news from the health standi
Tight skirts make women think, too
much of reducing. When they see
broad or potatoes on the table, butter,
ice cream, whipped cream, all foods
they should have, they shake their
heads More ample clothes will make
them leas conscious of curves when
they look into their mirrors
And, If you notice, the girls pictured
on the magazine covers and in bill
board advisements now definitely
have curves so do the girls chosen
to advertise swiX suits The attain
ment of curves me^ns the baying of
more food, which will make the farm
ers happier. And more cloth Is re
quired to cover curves which will
make the weaving mills busier. Who
knows but that the new style in plump-
ness is the factor that will load us out
of the depression? Certainty ft will
make for healthier young womanhood
