i ABOUT HUMMER
AS PETER RABBIT sat staring
up at the tiny nest of Hummer
the Hummingbird, which he had
Just discovered, Jenny Wren came
along. Being quite tired with the
feeding of her seven babies, Jenny
was content to rest for a few min
utes and gossip. Peter told her
what he had discovered.
I know all about that," retort
ed Jenny. 'You don't suppose I hunt
these trees over for food without
knowing where my neighbors are
living, do you? I'd have you un
derstand that this is the daintiest
nest in the Old Orchard. It Is made
wholly of plant down and covered
on the outside with bits of that
gray moss-like stuff that grows on
the bark of trees and is called
lichen. That Is what makes that
nest look like nothing more than a
knot on a branch. Chatterer the
|^)o'You Know—
That exact evidence as to
the origin of the nickname
"gob" in connection with
sailors of the U. S. navy is
lacking, but the term was
applied to the English coast
guards many years ago. An
old meaning of "to gob" is
to spit and the name may be
from this source.

The Reception Committee
Red Squirrel made a big mistake
when he visited this tree. Hummer
may be a tiny fellow, but he Isn't
afraid of anybody under the sun.
That bill of his Is so sharp and he
Is so quick that few folks ever both
er him more than once. Why, there
Isn't a single member of the hawk
family that Hummer won't attack.
"What Do You Mean by Pumping
Food Down Their Throats?'* He
Demanded.
There Isn't a cowardly feather In
him."
"Does he go very far south for
the winter?" asked Peter. "He Is
such a tiny fellow I don't see how
he can stand such a long Journey."
"Huh 1" exclaimed Jenny Wren,
"Distance doesn't bother Hummer
any. You needn't worry about
those wings of his. He goes clear
down to South America, where he
has ever so many relatives. You
ought to see his babies when they
flrat hatch out. They are no bigger
than bees. Rut they certainly do
grow fast. They are flying three
weeks from the time they hatch.
I'm glad I don't have to pump food
down the throats of my youngsters
the way Mrs. Hummingbird has to
down hers."
Peter looked perplexed. "What
do you mean by pumping food down
their throats?" he demanded.
"Just what I say," retorted Jenny
Wren. "Mrs. Hummer sticks her
bill right down their throats and
then pumps up the food she has al
ready swallowed. I guess It Is a

good thing the babies have short
bills."
"Do they?" asked Peter, opening
his eyes wide.
"Yes," replied Jenny. "When they
hatch out they have short bills, but
It doesn't take them a great while
to grow long."
"How many babies does Mrs.
Hummer usually have?" asked Pe
ter.
"Just two," replied Jenny. "Just
two. That's all that nest will hold.
But goodness gracious, Peter, 1 can't
stop gossiping here any longer. You
have no Idea what a care seven ba
bies are."
With a Jerk of her tall off flew
Jenny Wren and Peter hurried back
to tell Johnny Chuck all he had
found out about Hummer the Hum
mingbird.

That is the latest discovery of

And it Is good news. To my mind
nothing would be more tragic than
for the average baby to remember
many of his impressions. Think of

FRIDAY.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
I'm the fellow you hollered at last
night in the automobile. I was In
a hurry so could not stop to help
you. I saw you and your wife slip
and fall and also saw the lamp post
fall over on top of you both. Sorry
I couldn't stop to help you. How
did you get out of your trouble?
Yours truly,
I. AUTO STOPPED.
Answer: We didn't slip. It was
the wind which blew us over and
also blew the lamp post over on top
of us. I sent for the postmaster
and he took the post office. (Off us.)
Dear Mr. Wynn:
I hear you are a student of eco
nomics. I want you to advise me
on one point. As an example, say
that wheat was selling retail at $2
a bushel. Say a farmer sold 3,000
bushels ot wheat to a wholesaler.
What would the farmer get?
Yours truly,

Answer: He'd get an automobile.

The Filipino!
Those islands were called by the
Spanish las Has Filipinas in honor
of Felipe (or Philip) II of Spain,
and the natives called Filipinos.
It was during his reign in 1565,
that the Spanish colonization of
them began. In Spanish the "ph"
Is not used to represent the "f" sound
as it does in English, and therefore
the English language Anglicized
Filipinas as Philippines.
Movies Teaching Chinese
Fine Art of Osculation
In old China It was highly offen
sive for a woman so much as to
touch the hand of any man not her
husband, and for her to touch even
her husband's hand in public was
forbidden. In young China, when
unmarried couples began to associate
In public In the western manner,
they scrupulously observed the taboo
against even the slightest physical
contact; today, however, It is very
common In Shanghai to see Chinese
couples, eager to imitate screen
heroes and heroines, walking along
the street hand In hand or with
their arms around each other, and
"petting" In the parks is not un
known.
Another once unsanctioned famil
iarity between men and women Is
kissing. The kiss Is by no means
unknown in the East, but it never
has been so extensively nor so cas
ually Indulged In as In the West.
No longer than ten years ago a kiss
In public was more shocking to the
Chinese than nudism probably still
is to most Americans. Early Chinese
motion pictures contained no kissing
scenes; such a display In public In
western motion pictures was enough
a sensation without any defiance
of the national code by Chinese ac
tors and actresses. In 1920, how
ever, Olive Young, an American-born
Chinese cinema star, ventured a kiss
that was shown only In silhouette
through a semi-transparent screen.
Chinese audiences gasped when they
saw It, even as Victorian audiences
did at first hearing the word "bloody"
from the stage. Today, however,
kissing Is almost as popular with
young China as with young America,
though it still Is not indulged in so
publicly as in Paris.
Only within the past two years
the cinema has markedly altered
attitudes In-yet another way.
Somewhat earlier, when Chinese
■girls first began to choose their own
Mwjhusbands and their friends among
woung men, they displayed a quite
x different taste from that of western
i girls. Athletes, "cave men" and sim
ilar types were viewed with disfo
rfVor, and hsiao pal mien, or "little
t jvhite face"—something, In brief,
Mel Lan-fang, the female im
personator—was the Ideal. So, be
cause modern young men wanted
modern girls and modern girls
were few In proportion to the num
ber of modern young men, the youths
sought to conform to the feminine
standards. When a foreign teacher
once asked a number of his students
on a beach near Shanghai why they
avoided the sun they answered
frankly, "If we get sunburned, the

Nanking Permits Widows
Freedom of Remarriage
Another step In the emancipation
of Chinese women has been recorded
by an order Issued at Nanking by
the Klangning Hsten, or district gov
ernment. Under this order a widow
has complete freedom of choice
whether she shall remarry or remain
single.
Under the old custom a widow
could remarry only under direct or
ders of the family of her late hus
band. In the Kiangning district It
has been customary for families to
force a widow to remarry In order
that they might recover the money
which her late husband had paid
out to her family when she was a
bride.
Why Doctors Favor
a Liquid Laxative
A doctor will tell you that the care
less use of strong laxatives may do
more harm than good.
Harsh laxatives often drain the
system, weaken the bowel muscles,
and even affect the liver and kidneys.
Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to laxatives in liquid form.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you needn't take a
"double dose" a day or two later.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin gently,
helps the average person's bowels
while nature is restoring their regu
larity. Why not try it? Some pill or
tablet may be more convenient to
carry. But there is little "conven
ience" in any cathartic which is
taken so frequently, you must carry
it with you, wherever you go I
Its very taste tells you Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin is wholesome. A
delightful taste, and delightful action.
Safe for expectant mothers, and
children. At all druggists, ready for
use, in big bottles.
