THE SHEEP DOG
“It’s not every dog who is so lucky,”
said Bally Shannon.
“Ba-ba-ba-ba-a-a,” said the sheep.
“You are more than polite to us.
You.are kind and complimentary.
“We love you for it.”
“I am glad to welcome you as my
assistant,” said Lady Dale.
“I know you will do good work for
you have come to me with such splen-
did recommendations.”
Bally Shannon wagged his tail and
looked very much pleased.
Bally Shannon was an Irish Wolf-
hound and Lady Dale was an Airedale
Terrier—and the sheep were sheep t
Lady Dale guarded the sheep in the
park, which was a part of the big
zoo.
She saw that no harm came to them.
For a good many years she had had
another dog to help her, but the other
dog had been taken back by his mas-
ter who had found he missed him so
much.
“I hear you are very brave,” said
Lady Dale.
. And the timid, shy, nervous sheep
looked at Bally Shannon and said:
“Are yon really very brave?”
Bally wagged his tail, barked a lit-
tle, which meant a laugh, „and said:
“Well, I don’t know about that.
I’m here to look after you, though, and
look after you I will.”
The sheep bleated happily and the
other dog looked as if she were quite
satisfied.
“Won’t you tell us some of your ex-
periences?” she asked.
“You have had such wonderful ones
at various times in your life, I am
told.”
. “The most extraordinary one I ever
had was when I lost my master when
a vessel was sunk—that is, I thought
at first that I had, but he was res-
cued later and when he has finished a
trip around the. world he will come
back here for me.”
The sheep were about to weep when
Bally said ne had lost his master, but
now they we^e Smiling again, jostling

whole days I found neither land nor
people nor boats.
“But at last a ship picked me up.
“I was dreadfully ill for a little
while.
“They said that no other dog could
have stood such hardships, and I was
proud of that because I hate a crea-
ture who will give In while he can
possibly hold out!
“But though I have had such a
hard time I am well now and I am a
jolly, playful old fellow as you will
all agree.”
And, as they all agreed and were
all rejoicing, little Maggie, in her
far-away garden, was shouting with
happiness because the hyacinths had
come up in spite of a very cold snap
they had had, even with snow on the
ground in the middle of spring.
“You little dears, you dear little
things,” was the way Maggie greeted
her hyacinths.
And the hyacinths were so fragrant
and showed how lf^ich they liked the
greeting they received.
The robins hated, the cold weather
but Maggie fed them and looked after
them all she could, and how they did
appreciate it.
But to Maggie it seemed wonderful
that the flowers had come out even
after the bad, bad weather.
“My clear little hyacinths, you lit-
tle dears, you little dears,” Maggie
said to them again and again and
again.
Mary Wanted a Set
Little Mary went for a visit in the
country and was duly taken out to the
barn to see all the interesting things
there—little pigs, a baby calf, and, in
a box filled with hay, old black Tabby
with three little black kittens busily
getting their breakfast.
Mary turned to her friend, said wist-
fully, “Oh, Miss Margaret, do you sup-
pose we could get a set like this for
our house?”
Reminder for Auntie
The twins, Ruth and Roberta, were
visiting their aunt. Their birthday
was only two days distant. Ruth, evi-
dently fearing that her aunt had for-
gotten about it, climbed into-her lap
and whispered in her ear: “Auntie,
day after tomorrow Is Roberta's birth-
day. Don’t you think that it would
be just awfully nice if you would bake
her a little birthday cake with candles
on It?”
TjvABRICS may come anrl fabrics
A1 may go, but the faithful crepes,
both heavy and sheer, stay on for-
ever—for which blessing all fashion-
able womankind rejoices. Of course, it
Is entirely superfluous to go into any
detailed recital of the good points of
crepe materials. Sufficient unto the
moment, is it, to know that crepe
fabrles are more popular than they
ever were.
Whatever lack may be in novelty
of material is made up in the wqy of
unique styling. One of the interesting i
features of this season’s modes is that i
the one-piece dress is given a two- j
piece appearance. Viewing the hand- j

SPRING MODES IN HEADWEAR
Another very prominent feature in
the styling of the crepe frock is the
necktie and various floating stream-
ers of self-fabric which are often the
sole items of adornment on the coat
or dress.
While the North is still buffeted by
biting winds, the South is basking in
summer sunshine, and between the
coast of Maine and that of Florida
any sort of climate may be found.
This accounts for the -diversity in the
millinery styles now on display in the
centers of fashion and, incidentally,
reveals that-'Miami and Palm Beach
are pointing the way for summer
fashions.

would think that it consists of a
blouse worn over a circular skirt.
However, the illusion is dispelled wrhen
one sees that the back portion is cut
in 'one piece. Other of its style,, de-
tails are the long sleeve, self-fabric tie
and the braiding which patterns the
hem-edge of the camouflaged blouse.
There is an air of tailored elegance
about this frock, even though a touch
of elaboration is suggested in the
braiding.
If one’s taste inclines to a more
ornate styling, the plaid-trimmed crepe
frock Is the very latest word from
Paris. Solid colored crepe frocks,
especially navy or black ones, are en-

felt hat which has had such a lasting
vogue. Although the felt, in light col-
ors, looks summery, it is never a cool
hat. The new straws and silks are
less plain and more dignified than the
vanishing felts—their crowns are high-
er, their brims are varied.
Three typical shapes shown in the
picture are all combinations of straw
and silk. The group leads off with a
pretty beret—the most graceful of the
brimless shapes. It has a crown of
silk with a trimming of two-toned vel-
vet ribbon twisted about it. The be-
ret is the inspiration for many draped
hats of grosgrain ribbon. Straw and

livened with a piping of gay plaid on
all available edges. A plaid necktie
and plaid furbelows at the wrists add
to this animated coloring.
Another very important embellish-
ment for the monotone crepe frock
is accessory touches of gilded leather
brilliantly illuminated with bronze-
paint colorings or batik dyes. Nearly
always a fanciful belt accompanies a
collar and cuff set of the leather.

at the left with moderately high straw
crown and upturned flaring brim of
taffeta adorned with rows of narrow
braid. The same braid-adorned taf-
feta makes the cluster of rosettes at
the right side. A midsummer hat fin-
ishes the group—the beloyed and per-
ennial leghorn with puffed crown of
crepe georgette. One can imagine it
in any of the lovely pastel colors with
pastel roses and foliage posed at each
side.

PREVENTING RICKETS
TDICKETS is a disease of infancy
and very early childhood. It Is
most common among bottle-fed ba-
bies, whose food does not contain
enough bone bulking matter, or in
breast-fed babies where, on account
of the mother’s physical condition,
the milk is poor in quality. This may
occur if the babies have followed each
other too rapidly and the mother has
not had time to regain her strength
after nursing one baby before she Is
called upon to nurse another.
, The disease comes on about the
time of the first teeth. The child Is
irritable, has fever and sweating at
night and is pale, flabby and puny.
There are hard knobs on the ribs
In front, where they join the carti-
lages. The head is large and the
teeth are slow in appearing and bad-
ly formed. The large bones, espe-
cially those in the legs, are bent. The
child is nervous, irritable and sub-
ject to fits.
Much attention has been given to
this disease in recent years. It is
now known to be due to lack of proper
food and especially of sunlight. A
rickety child is like a plant which
has grown in a dark cellar. Cod liver
oil is still used in treating the dis-ease,
as it has been for many years, but
we know now that the child must
have sunlight if its recovery is to be
either rapid or complete.
Our local health departments are
much interested in rickets, not so
much because It has a high death rate
by itself, as because the child with
rickets is weak and has no ability
to resist such diseases as pneumonia
and bronchitis. So while few chil-
dren die of rickets, the death rate
among rickety children from colds,
pneumonia and bronchitis is far above
the normal.
In 1923 the health department of
New Haven, Connecticut decided to
try and reduce the amount of rickets
among New Haven children. As soon
as a birth was reported, a health de-
partment nurse was sent to see the
mother. As soon as she was able, the
mother was asked to bring the baby to
the health bureau. There the nurse
showed the mother how to give the
baby cod liver oil and how to give
it a sun bath, beginning by a few
minutes sunning of the hands and
face, gradually increasing the length
and the amount of the exposure until
the whole body was exposed for an
hour a day.
Experience for three years now has
shown that, simply by sunlight and
cod liver oil, rickets can be con-
trolled and practically prevented.
OUR WEAK SPOTS
QLIVER WENDELL HOLMES was
a doctor as well as a poet. So when
he wrote the “One Horse Shay,” he
evidently had the peculiarities of the
human body in mind.
The idea the old New England dea-
con had that the reason a carriage
broke down but never wore out was
that each carriage had a weak spot
that gave way first. So in old legends
we find the same idea about the hu-
man body. Achilles’ mother dipped
him in the River Styx and so made him
invulnerable, except his heel, where
her hand held him. Siegfried bathed
in dragon’s blood, only a leaf fell on
his shoulder and left a weak spot
which later was the cause of his death.
These old legends all recognize that
the human body has its weak spots.
Where are they?
This question is answered by Doctor
Schweisheimer of Stuttgart, who says
that the Japanese realized, centuries
ago, that there are certain danger
spots in the body and built their sys-
tem of jui-jitsu on this knowledge.
The most sensitive spot in the body
is Adam’s apple. A hard blow on this
point or pressure with the thumbs will
Interfere with breathing and swallow-
ing and cause severe pain. Every,
school boy knows that the points of
the thumbs, pressed into the little hol-
lows below and behind the ears, will
cause severe pain and quickly subdue
the largest opponent. Every school
boy also knows that a sharp blow with
the edge of the open hand on the back
of the neek is very unpleasant. It is
known in school-boy "slang as showing
you “how to kill rabbits.” It is not
only unpleasant, blit it is also not free
from danger as too hard a blow may
break the neck and cause sudden
death.
Every boxer knows the effect of a
short, sharp, upper cut to the point
of the jaw. I have seen fighters “put
to sleep” for more than the necessary
ten seconds by a short, snappy blow
to the chin, when the boxer’s glove
did not move more than six inches.
The force was transmitted through
the jaw bone to the base of the skull.
Another weak spot is the region of
the back low down over the kidneys.
Many a boxer has been slowly worn
down and put out without a mark on
his face by repeated kidney punches.
Everybody knows how lanky Bob Fitz-
simmons floored Jim Corbett by the
famous solar plexus blow.
Some parts of the body are
much more subject to injury than
others- Out of 300,000 accidents of
all kinds, 53 per cent were injuries
to the arm and hand, 28 per cent to
the foot and leg, 8 per cent to the
trunk and 9 per cent to the head.
