Candle, candle, burning low, When you go out, pray where do you go? i Shadow Saying. THE five shadows all pointed to a curious tall white plant. It was about eight or nine feet tall.

The blossoms were all near the top of the plant. It looked like a huge white candle. The shadows, you see, were in California. They had taken a long hike into the mountains. On the mountain slopes they saw this tall white plant.

The first thing the shadows did was to turn to their masters and mistresses and ask them the name of the flower. Their masters and mistresses didn't answer them. I don't think they ever answered their shadows. Just as the shadows were wondering whom to ask next (they couldn't ask each other because they didn't know what to answer each other), they heard one of the children turn to father and ask: "What's the name of that flower, please?" Father replied: "That's what is known as a yucca." The shadows all listened. Thej repeated to each other: "That's a yucca.

Now we know what it is." Father went on talking: "It is al, so called the Candle of the Desert It looks like a candle." 1 "It does look like a candle! We thought of that right away' the shadows exclaimed. Father paid no more attention to them than the children did. "It grows very quickly," father continued. "Come closer.

For women in time are to take their place among professional and commercial aviators, if Amelia Ear-hart has anything to say about it. Interviewing Amelia Earhart is a novel experience for even a veteran reporter, for she is reluctant to dwell on her own exploits except as they may influence the future progress of women in aviation. She will tell you emphatically that what she has done can be duplicated by many other women if only someone will give them the chance. Women and Aviation She has dubbed her book "For the Fun of It," but she is terribly in earnest about it all. She refuses to be regarded as an exception among women, and doesn't want to rest in her efforts to promote the progress of women in flying until she is just one of many women professional aviators.

It is her fondest hope that men who have admired her latest exploit will help other women reach the same mark. Although it is not generally known, it is true that Amelia Earhart made her first flight in 1920 with the redoubtable Captain Frank Hawks at the controls. She describes that first flight graphically in her book, and shows how natural it is that a young woman should be airminded. Her book, which is to some measure a text book pointing the way to aviation for women, reflects the engaging personality and wholesome humor of this fine American women flyer. Joys Outweigh Difficulties Anne Lindbergh is another woman who is all for women as professional aviators.

Miss Earhart says that Mrs. Lindbergh has developed her own philosophy of flying and believes that anyone, man or woman, who takes up flying as an occupation is aiding humanity to achieve progress. Amelia Earhart believes the part Mrs. Lindbergh has played in many of the Lindbergh aerial journeys should convince the world of the place of women in aviation. Miss Earhart insists that women are as well qualified as men to become professional pilots; that it is Wife tor---'! merely a matter of skill, and that skill is the only basis on which a pilot should be engaged.

She advises women to take lessons and get all the practice they can, because sooner or later women are going to take to the air at the controls of passenger planes. That they will be most successful she confidently asserts. In the meantime she advises women pilots to "barnstorm," give exhibition flights, enter racesdo anything that will give them experience and make the public more used to women aviators. Three years ago there were but three licensed women pilots in the United States. To-day there are 472, all splendid flyers well able to pilot a plane, whether private or transport.

Perhaps there is no immediate future for these women in the field of aviation, but every one of them will go on getting more Newest Phase of the Serial "Revelation of a Wife' the look of physical ills and grueling hardships met and conquered by sheer strength of will.

Copeland, M.D. United States Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of Health, New York City.

THE United States Public Health Service announces the discovery of a new vaccine to combat typhus fever. This vaccine has been successfully used on ex perimental animals, and it is believed that the effect will be equally beneficial when riven to human beings. Typhus fever has been known to mankind for many centuries. Within the last few centuries it has been responsible for many of the so-called "plagues" that have swept the Dr. Copeland globe periodically destroying thousands of persons.

It was prevalent during and shortly after the World War, and is more common in Europe than in this country. The American form is not nearly so severe as the European typhus fever. Easily Transmitted Typhus must not be confused with typhoid fever, for the diseases are different. Typhus fever is an infection caused by a germ carried by lice, and usually occurs where large numbers of persons are gathered together under unsanitary conditions. The disease is easily transmitted from one individual to another.

In typhus cases there is high fever, but the disease differs from typhoid fever in that certain serious complications of typhoid rarely occur in typhus. Headache, prostration, sudden chill, fever and a skin rash are some of the symptoms of typhus. The fever on the second day may reach 105 degrees. A reddish rash appears, usually, between the third and fifth days. The typhus rash, at first quite red, turns to a purplish brown and spreads all over the body except the face.

In. typhoid fever the rash consists of many small reddened spots distributed over the abdomen and chest. Cleanliness Important Though the form of typhus fever found inr this country is not serious, it requires painstaking care and attention, for when neglected there is always danger of complication in the form of broncho pneumonia. Only easily digested food should be given, and the drinking of water fchould be encouraged. The body should be kept clean by daily baths.

Fresh clothing and bed linen are essential. Contaminated linens should be carefully handled and boiled before using again. Personal cleanliness is necessary for the cure as well as the prevention of this disease. Typhoid fever, also associated with filth and unhygienic conditions, is caused by the typhoid germ, which may reach the body through contaminated water, milk or food. Fortunately, modern medical science has perfected a vaccine which prevents the occurrence of this disease.

At one time typhoid fever was prevalent throughout the world, but due to improvements in sanitation and universal use of the typhoid vaccine, the disease is now rarely encountered. It is hoped that the vaccine discovered for the prevention of typhus fever will be equally successful in eliminating that disease. Answers to Health Queries A Constant Pveader. Q.

KAPLAN of Everett, was graduated from high school the other day.

Mr. ivaplan has three children, but he had never before had a chance to go to high school. He had been doing very well for his family, but he wanted to do better, and he found that there were a lot of things he'd have to know about to get the job he'd really like to get, to say nothing of holding the ob after he got So when the "depression" set Winifred Black in, Mr. Kaplan thought that was a good time to get some "schooling," as he probably called it, after the good old down-east fashion. He had money enough put away to keep his family in bacon and eggs, bread and butter and coffee and that was that.

What? He couldn't stand it to be laughed at by the young boys when he entered the high school? It would make him feel queer to start to school in the morning with the fifteen-year-old son of his best friend and neighbor? Pshaw! He never thought of such a thing. He didn't care a anap of his finger what people thought of him. He just wanted to learn something; that's all. He Will Get Job And he learned a good deal and was graduated with honors 1 And now when the sixteen and seventeen-year-old boys in the neighborhood get to talking on the front porch of an evening, Joseph Kaplan knows what it is they're saying. I suppose when he gets his job and holds it as he will get it, and will hold it other people who began life alongside him will say "ain't it great to be born lucky, like Joe!" And Joe, being a wise man, will grin and say "Uh-huh." Copvrliht, 131.

She never had taken her arms from around me since she had told me of the injunction Dicky and the rest had laid upon her. But now it was a bear hug she gave me, one that left me breathless.

"You ARE such a good egg!" she said, explosively. "And don't be mad by me if I jump around a little for joy because I'm going to have something to do! I never would have emitted a single yip if Uncle Dicky hadn't sprung this on me; but since he has, I can't help feeling a bit woof over the chance to get out with you.

Also there may be small losses or dangers to prestige and popularity, unless strict watch be kept on both personal and business behavior. Those whose birthday it is may not enjoy a very important or progressive year, as 'their affairs are beset with danger of loss, fraud, misrepresentation, slander and treachery. It will be necessary for them to be vigilant in all personal as well as business contacts, in order to forestall these and to rise superior to such underhand attacks. However, the situation is more likely to be annoying than disastrous. A child born on this day will be disposed to be visionary, imaginative, impractical and subtle, leaning toward the curious, novel and occult.

Pioneer Airwomen Amelia Earhart, in addition to her many flights, has devoted much time to research into the history of women in aviation, and in her book recounts the exploits of the real pi oneer aviatrices, who more than one hundred years ago were profeS' sional flyers. Not only did they give exhibition flights, but some of them even took passengers aloft in bal loons. The first woman balloonist, who soloed in 1799, was Madame Oarnerin. In 1810 Madame Blan chard was inducted into office as Napoleon's chief of air service. She died in a spectacular balloon de scent.

"But I'm very much here now," I said, "and we're both ravenous. Will it take long to give us some tea and waffles and creamed chicken if we can get it in a hurry?" "In ten minutes," she promised. "Everything's at hand, for some customers disappointed me just now. Oh, they paid for their meal; but they didn't wait for me to put it on the table just hurried away, only a few minutes before you came." I almost winced at the nudge which Mary surreptitiously gave me.

Evidently she shared my excited conjecture that these queerly acting customers might have some connection with the mysterious summons which had brought us to the tea room.

This has led manufacturers to design some most interesting cover fabrics, and to issue instructions so clear and sim ple that the average housewife can make her own. Summer and Winter The best thing to do is to take some muslin, or any other thin and inexpensive material, and shape it to the chair, pinning it so that it win stay put while you cut it.

Allow about one inch not less on all sides for the seams. After that it is a comparatively simple matter to cut the material by the pattern, and with good seamstress work the job ought to be a good one. With home made slips that so expertly approximate the covers made by professionals, it is possible to have different covers for summer and winter thus adding to the beauty of the home. Percale and Chintl For odd little chairs there is nothing nicer than to cover the seat with plaided percale, finished with little box-pleated ruffles of self fabric. There are also some lovely self-striped fabrics admirably suited to the Victorian type of chair that reposes in many an attic.

Take out your old chairs and sofas and make them useful members of the household, by putting them in slip covers that somehow suggest their period and so bring out their charm. Washable mohair and glazed chintzes are new materials available in new and lovely patterns. 11 Ct mwt "I'm Going to Pick On," of grass. That is the yucca plant, The yucca blossom is this big stalk, like a trunk of a young tree. It grows rapidly.

You can almost sea it grow "I don't see it growing now, KnBrf remarked in a loud voice, hoping to attract somebody's attention. "Of course, it stops growing when it grows to be about eight or nine feet tall. This yucca that we are looking at now has stopped growing. If you had been here about two or three weeks ago you would have seen it growing." Knarf was disappointed. "Why weren't we here two or three weeks ago I'd like to know.

It's a shame." "It is a shame," the other shadows agreed. To make up for his disappointment, Knarf wanted to pick the yucca blossom. Imagine trying to pick a blossom nine feet tall! However, that didn't bother Knarf any. "I'm going to pick it and put it la a vase," he said. The other shadows laughed.

"The only vase you have is a thimble. It won't even begin to fit" Knarf went right on trying to pick it. After awhile he decided that it was no use trying to pick it so he set about breaking it off at the bottom. He couldn't do that either, so he tried to shake some of the flowers down, way up at the top. Alas, ha was too weak even to do that.

She attends school until three o'clock each afternoon, barring Saturday and Sunday.

"Oh! What is it?" she asked breathlessly. "I knew something had happened.

Can you tell me?" "Yes. I will tell you everything I know myself, but as we go. Hurry!" "Oke! Give me the keys. I'll start the car, have its nose turned toward the road, and be in the other seat by the time you ought to get there. You shouldn't hurry like this, you know." At the Designated Piece "I know; and, thank you," I returned, handing her the keys.

And indeed I was grateful for the chance to slow down my pace, and arrive unhurried, unflurried, at the place where, true to her promise, Mary was waiting with motor running and car pointed toward a side street, which would bring us out on the winding road leading to the mountain glen tea room. "I thought you wouldn't want to go through the village," Mary said, as I climbed into the driver's seat. "Thank you. That was right." "And then we were off, driving as fast as I dared until we were a mile up the mountain road. A glance at my wrist watch told me that I had two or three minutes to spare, and I slowed down while I told Mary hastily of the telephone message I had received from the Chinese in Newark, and the bizarre directions ho had given me, which I was about to follow.

"What a wow!" Mary commented explosively. "But here we are! I like this place better every time I see it" A Mountain Brook I echoed her words wished that I had time to stop and look my fill at the picturesque little cottage that looked as if it were clinging to the rocky mountain side against which it was built, and dipping its feet into the stream that tumbled over rocks on two sides of its foundations. A rustic bridge was the entrance from the road, and the rushing waterfall which made it necessary gave forth what was to me the most appealing music in the world. I often have wished I could spend and end my days where I could hear a rushing mountain brook. As we crossed the bridge the door to the tea room swung open, framing a tall, Junoesque, middle-aged woman, whose welcoming pleasant face and calm eyes yet held in them the look which the initiated know a stated hour on Sunday morning, and Well, I'm dog-tired right now just thinking about it.
