I suppose you have no- ticed that all the Woodpecker family have stiff tall feathers and use them to brace themselves when they are climbing a tree. They have become so dependent upon them that they don't dare move about on the trunk of a tree without using them. If they want to come down a tree they have to back down, “Now, Old Mother Nature didn't give me a stiff tall but she gave me a very good pair of feet with three toes | fu front and one behind and when I was a very little fellow 1 learned to make the most of those feet, Each ' wy foot hooks into the bark. When I come down a tree I simply twist one foot around so that the three front claws of this foot keep me from falling. It toe has a sharp claw. When I go up a tree the three front claws on each Yank, is just as easy for me to go down a tree as to go up and I can go right around the trunk quite as easily and comfortably.” Sulting action to the word, Yank Yank ran around the of the apple tree just above Peter's head. When he reappeared Peter had another question ready. “Do you live altogether on insects and worms and grubs and thelr eggs?” he asked, “1 should say not,” exclaimed Yank Yank. “I like acorns and beech nuts and certain kinds of seeds.” “I don't see how such a little fellow as you can eat such hard things as acorns and beech nuts,” protested Peter a little doubtfully. Yank Yank laughed right out. “Some time when 1 see you over In the Green Forest I'll show you,” sald he. “When I find a fat beech nut 1 take it to a lit- tle erack in a tree which will just hold it.

THROUGH A Womans Eyes By JEAN NEWTON THE CHILD'S MIND AND OURS HE child's mind Is as complex as the adult's, That pronouncement came out at the recent meeting of the National Com mittee for Mental Hygiene, Dr. James 8. Plant, director of the Newark (N. J.) Juvenile Clinic told the assembled doe tors psychiatry has just learned that the child mind is no simpler to under. stand than the adult mind, and that their failure to realize this may be ie- sponsible for the appalling number of delinquent and maladjusted children, Well—we shouldn't be surprised. Only, what a pity that the experts this field didn't long ago consult a have been so late in discovering what to all who understand children Is an obvious fact. The child mind as complex as the adult's—? It would safer to call it more complex. In many lanes of knowledge and thought that are fa miliar and well charted to the grown up, the child moves in a constant fog. He has hardly catalogued a thing In his mind when something happens to upset his theory and leave him in the dark about what it is all about.

For the child's very world depends on the answer to these thoughts The adult's world is formed-—and however well or badly he may be adjusted to it, he at least knows what he is up against, Far be it from me to paint adults as sure of life or ourselves, But there are many things we know, about which the child ean only wonder and guess And about the things that leave us as be ife Lopes, floundering and helpless as the ehild, we at least know that we cannot know!

Let Our Motto Be GOOD HEALTH BY DR. LLOYD ARNOLD Professor of Bacteriology snd Preventive cine, University of llinois, College of Medicine, WINTER VACATIONS From a health viewpoint the ideal time for a vacation is during Feb- ~ ruary and March, In the north tem- perate states une til the last 20 to 25 years, it used to be that the sum- mer months were the period of great- est health risk. We had continual ty- phold fever out- breaks then, and there were a multi- i of tude diarrhea complaints jut more due sanitary to of cattle and to pasteurization of m to better understan iding of quarantix and to our greater knowledge of diet a proper care of foods 80 Inany summer have much work to summer diarrheas infants, on the whole made great headway in the prevention of food and water borne diseases, In the matter of such winter nesses as colds, influenza, bronchitis, and pneumonia; however, we are still pretty much at bay. These now have higher death rates than the strictly summer diseases, So that, so far as health is concerned, the winter months are now our dis- abling months, It is at this time, rath- er than in summer, that we should have our yearly periods of quest of sun- shine and recreation and rest. Our HOw, 10 witter systems, inspection we do not We do to correct have still the but ilinesses, among we have £11 iid industrial life is so though, that not many of us can leave our jobs in February and March.

The questions may seem far-fetched, but It is not outside the realm of proba- bility that we may change our habits of thought so that will make our vacations correspond to our health Deeds, It is true that November and Decem- her are usually dark months, but it is also true that the peak of colds, sore throats, bronchitis and pneumonia comes in the late winter months This means that the stored up sunshine which we managed to accumulate dur- ing the summer and fall months has been sufficient to carry us through the early winter. But by January our re gistance to disease starts getting real knocks, and the weak easily succumb. Economically It need not any more to take a winter vacation than a summer vacation. If one wants to go South, trains offer vacation rates Fashionable hotels are high, but fash fonable hotels sre alwars high, and why be fashionable? It does not cost any more to run the family automobile on a winter trip through the South than on a summer trip through the North, and tourist camps are good and cheap everywhere, For those who do not want southern sunshine there are many resorts in the North now that offer winter sports and roaring fireplaces to gather around. The point is that in the late winter, when we have used up our stock of stored summer sunshine, and storms and cold spells take toll of our vitality, and we have had the strain of months of full productive work, beginning be. the months? and schools run we cost dark in the short winter days, our bodies have their period of greatest physiological exhaustion.
