THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C SATURDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 11, '5, f h :; K'Tinker Bob"2 VSMw byCarlysleH. Hoi comb J?2 :sJ byCarlysleH. LONG NECK LOOKS DISGUSTED. Major Pole Cat chuckled as he heard the words of Grandfather Frog. Silky, the Monkey, just laughed so hard that he nearly called the atten tion, of the Fishermen. Tinker Bob had to tell him to be quiet or they would not see any of the sport- But every time he thought of Grandfather waking up inside Long Neck, the Great Blue Heron, it made him want to laugh. I can tell you truthfully that Mr. Frog didn't keep his nose out of water very long. All he wanted to do was to tell the King he didn't like to have Bobber, the Sandpiper, catch all of the PoUywogs there were in the lako. "O King, will you look at that fellow with the big head!" exclaimed Silky. "I never saw anyone who . could fish like he can." Mr. King- , fisher had plunged into the water ; after another fish he had seen from his perch which hung out over the Lake. He got it too and flew back to the limb where he had been watch ing. There he thumped the fish against a branch till it was dead'-and swallowed it head-first. It was a big fish for such a small fisherman and he had a dreadful time getting it down. But at last it was down and Mr. Kingfisher set himself to watch for another. The sun shone full on him and Silky, the Monkey, was somewhat surprised. "I never noticed before that he was such a handsome fellow,"; said Silky.- He was about the size of Mr. Yellow Flicker but his head made him look bigger than he really was. The feathers on top of his head stood up like a crest as if they had been brushed the wrong way. His head back, wings and tail were l bluish gray. His throat was white and he wore a white collar- In front af each eye was a white spot. His ireast was a bluish-gray and under- ECZEMA 1 YEAR IN PIMPLES On Face and Arms. Itched and Burned.

Charlotte Hardware Company 30 East Trade St. Holcomb i l He had a clrea'1"' time getting down. it neath he was white. There were tinv spots of white on his wings and tail. His bill, like that of Long Neck, the Heron, was black and sharp, and looked almost too big for his size. Presently Mr. Kingfisher flew out and plunged into the Lake again, this time, nearer to where Long Neck was waiting. He caught a fish, for it isn't often that this fisherman miss es. It was a smaller one than the other and when he reached his perch he didn't thump it against the branch but Just swallowed it head-first. "That fellow is some fisherman." said Tinker in a low tone to his companions. "I am going to have a talk with these folks before they leave. It seem? to me that Long Neck, the Great Heron, is somewhat disgusted because Mr. Kingfisher catch es two to his one. I'll speak to him." -We will soon see what the King firifo out. Next Silky Gets a Nibble. NEW LAW CONTROLS MENTAL CRIMINALS Boston. Sept. 10. The culpability of criminals brought before the Massa chusetts courts repeatedly for the same or similar offenses henceforth will rest on the offender's mental status. This will be determined by pisychiatri examinations in accord ance with a new law. That the mental tests are not a varia tion of the familiar army or BInet formulas is explained by Dr. Georg MacPherson, assistant commissioner of the State Department of Mental dis eases. Such examinations readily reveal .ho subject's emotional or temperamental reaction, but, according to Dr. Mac Pherson, it is necessary when dealing with those of criminal tendencies to know what actual mental defects tlvy may have, other than a mind that haa merely failed to keep pace with the person's age. In the methods to be employed by the State's psychologists a great deal more enters into the case.. The sub ject's physical condition, heredity, his life during childhood and the succesd ing stages of his life, to determlna whether he has a mentality for which he really is not responsible, are tha main, factors used in reaching a con clusion. If the patient is found to be in such a State, Dr. MacPherson said, then he J will be placed in an institution where j he will receive all possible care, but will be able to harm neither himself nor those with whom he comes in con tact.

'la y PHYLLIS MOTHER-IN-LAW COMPLAINS. In spite of her mother-in-law's re marks about Beth Wilders. Cherry and she were very good friends. And Beth often told this new pal of hers that she "had made Wellsburg a different place for her to live in." Besides Beth, thero were two or three other of the younger women of the town who gravitated towards Cherry, and soon a goodly chummy, little crowd were seeing much of each other from dav to day. Very often pherry ran into Beth's place for luncheon instead of going all the way home. Then, again, there were evenings when Beth came over to spend an hour of two on the Randall's com fortable front porch. "Joe's so often busv evenings, lately," she would com plain "and I get so" lonely sitting over at my place." "So the 'Disguntled Wives' Club, has formed after all, eh?" asked Ned, hu morously, one evening after a gathering cf Cherry's friends had disbanded. "Such a chatter as went on beneath my casement M'indov, lady-bird, I could hardly keep my mind on my figures." 'Well, dear, you'd hardly call it that," answered Cherry thoughtfully. "True, we meet to discuss topics of the day, books, and things, hundreds of things, and, yes, one of them is ways and means for the help and advancement of modern wives, if you must know. But why not? Wives are most interest ing persons. Xeddy. and they have a million problems which only wives can understand. It's fine to be able to get together with other sympathetic souls and talk about them sanely, and try to help each ottier along." SSSC855S3 y R oy FROM THE HEADLINES.

Why, in your time, you scarcely had one club. Clubs and time-saving devices have done away with the necessity for lingering all day over one's housework, thank goodness'' said Cherry. "And when Ned and I get into our own home I intend to have every convenience possible, so that I' may have plenty of time to think and develop my mind as. well. That is every woman's privilege."
