you think they would be too com

Answer: Here is a suggestion
for hanging ruffled curtains that
will make your windows a little
different from those of your neigh
bors and lend no end of style to
your rooms. Double curtain rods
are needed to give the crossed ef
fect and a valance board is added
to the top of the window as shown.
Here the valance is the sort that
comes with ready made curtains
and the top is folded back to make
it double. In thumbtacking it to
the valance board, do not stretch
it—just “ease it on” so that it
hangs well. If you feel that the
windows need color, the valance
and tie backs may be of plain
glazed chintz that repeats the
strongest color in your room color
scheme. A contrasting valance
may be either plain or gathered.

Fishermen’s Memorial Day
An annual memorial service for
fishermen who have been lost at
sea is a traditional ceremony of
Gloucester, Mass. Every year in
August at the memorial service
the names of those who have been
drowned that year are read and
relatives of loved ones of the de
ceased throw flowers in the sea.
After the service fishermen
gather and after tossing their flow
ers on the waters repeat in uni
son: “In memory of all the sea
men, who through all the years
have found a last resting place in
the waters that wash every shore,
we lovingly strew these flowers.”
NERVOUS?
Do you feel so nervous you want to scream?
Are you cross and irritable? Do you scold
those dearest to you?
If your nerves are on edge and you feel
you need a good general system tonic, try

ADVENTURERS’ CLUB
' ■ - -
HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES
OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF!
“Beast of the North’ 9
H ello everybody:
It’s sixteen-year-old Bob Shreves of 1333 Pacific St.,
Brooklyn, N. Y., who crashes into the Adventurers Club today
and wins himself the rating of Distinguished Adventurer. A ten
smacker check is on the way to him right now, and Bob dragged
it down with the story of a fight with a wild animal—on the
streets of Brooklyn.
Now it’s been years since big game hunters roamed around Brooklyn
looking for animals to shoot. Hunting parties have been giving it the
go-by since the days when Peter Minuit was mayor of New York and
the town belonged to the Dutch. It took Bob Shreves, then eight years
old, to get into trouble with one, in November, 1927, and just a few
blocks away from the Long Island railroad station and the Williamsburg
bank.
It was just twelve o’clock noon, when eight~y ear ~old Bob filed out of
Public School No. 15 with a bunch of other school kids and started up
State street toward his home, which was then at 146 South Elliott place.
Bob was going home for lunch, but he wasn’t in such a hurry to get it
that he couldn’t spare a moment to investigate a crowd of people across
♦he street.
The Bear Looked Harmless.
The crowd was standing at the back door of a large theater. Young
Bob went over and joined it. On the sidewalk by the stage entrance
was a huge brown bear. Bob learned later that the bear was a trained
one—part of an act that was playing in the theater. Two of the train
er’s helpers had him out there getting a little air.
“The bear was lying down,” says Bob. “He was pretty old,
and looked like a harmless creature. Hie helpers were holding
him only by a small piece of worn clothes line tied around the
collar on his neck.”
That bear may have looked harmless—but Bob soon found
out that he wasn’t.
A lot of other people shared Bob’s opinion that the bear wouldn’t
hurt anyone. Nearly the whole student body of Public School No. 15 had
trooped down to the theater stage door, attracted by the gathering
Reindeer Moss in Arctic Lands
Reindeer moss is a species of lich
en found in great abundance in Arc
tic lands. Erect, with many
branches, it grows to a few inches
ii: neight and covers immense
acres where it is used as a food for
reindeer and other animals.
The Oldest Door Knocker
The oldest door knocker in exist
ence is said to be the sanctuary
knocker on the north door of the
nave of Durham cathedral, Eng
land (1133-1140). The design sug
gests Scandinavian origin.
Fixing Up Arguments
“A man can always fix up argu
ments to quiet his conscience,” said
Hi Ho, the sage of Chinatown, “but
it is useless. No matter how much
you turn the clock back sunset will
come just the same.”
One great paw lashed ont in a vicious swing.
crowd. Such a mob of kids you never saw in your life. They pushed
and jostled one another as they crowded closer. They yelled U> one
another and directed loud, shrill questions at the men who were holding
the big brute. The bear began to get nervous—and then frightened.
And the helpers began to get uneasy, too. They coaxed the bear to get
up, and then began to lead him back into the theater again.
Broke Away and Charged the Crowd.
Then that mob of kids began milling and pushing in their effort to
follow the bear in. Bob Shreves was way up in the front row, being
pushed along by those behind him, when suddenly the bear fell into a
panic. He broke away from the two helpers with one toss of his great
shaggy head. Then, swiftly, he turned around and charged the crowd 1
He was coming right toward the spot where young Bob was
standing—and with a mob of three or four hundred kids poshing
from behind, there was no way for Bob to escape. A big boy in
front of him screamed and turned to flee. And in his frantic ef
fort to get away he ran sqnarely into Bob and bowled him over.
Bob fell flat on the ground. For a moment he was confused. All
around him now he heard the screams of other kids.' Then he looked
up—to see the bear charging straight at him—almost on top of him!
Bob’s heart leaped to his mouth—and in another split second the
bear was on him. One great paw lashed out in a vicious swing at
Bob’s head. Instinctively, Bob ducked. “If I hadn’t,” Bob says, “he
would have ripped my face wide open. As it was, he took away a
piece of my scalp as big as a man’s hand. He was standing over me
now, snarling and growling, and suddenly I found myself in 1 is big,
powerful arms.
“I was still conscious. I don’t know why that slap on the
head didn’t knock me out. But it didn’t, and at that moment I
didn’t even feel any pain up there. But I could feel the brute
crushing the breath out of me with his paws. I could feel my
ribs cracking under the pressure. And I could see him tearing
at my shoulder with his teeth.”
It was cold weather and Bob had on a heavy overcoat. That coat
was all that saved his shoulder from being ripped wide open, too. But
the overcoat was no protection against the squeeze of those powerful
arms.
Was Slowly Crushing the Life Out of Him.
“I thought my chest was going to cave in,” he says, “and my lungs
felt as if they would burst. I tried to cry out, but that was impossible.
I couldn’t even draw a breath.”
Meanwhile, one of the helpers had grabbed up the bear’s rope again
while the other ran in to get the trainer. Little Bob wasn’t even con
scious of that. He wasn’t conscious of anything but the big, hairy animal
that kept squeezing—squeezing—slowly crushing the life out of him. The
last thing he remembered were shouts in his ears and strong hands
taking hold of him, dragging him from the bear’s embrace.
The next thing he knew he was in Cumberland hospital, with a
badly lacerated head and right shoulder, and a broken rib—and
the doctors told him that if he hadn’t had on a thick overcoat he’d
have been maimed for life, if not killed outright. But three months
later Bob was out of the hospital, and all right except for a lasting
scar on his head.
The bear weighed 880 pounds and stood seven feet tall when erect.
He was the biggest critter Bob ever took on for a fight before—or
since. And he’s still wondering if Schmeling, or Joe Louis, or even
Dempsey in his prime, could have done any better with that animal
than he did.
