Star-light after storm, and a near-calnrin the wake of the after- noon gale. And James interrupt- ing his reading to offer "If we on to fit up that pen in the morning. we should really be off to bed." And his tone and concession are somewhat disturbing. "I'm telling you. Ellen" an old fripnd of those dear dead years" once laughed to us "if you ever get a man. and all of a sudden he comes over to your way of thinking. and agrees with everything you say. you'd better watch out! He's either planning to 'step out' or else he's coming down with a. sick spell!" And yet James continues to read his newspaper as usual, about the war and "this here railroad strike" and we hope has nothing else in his mind for us ex- cept a will to implement a hardly won promise from him to set up a second dwelling for our recently extended flock of turkey poults, come the new day and it fine -and :hat fate holds for him no misery zo come.

However not on this account shall we have reason to recall this day. out because of the morning's Itorm warnings which preceded and presented the hurricane. At Alder- ,ea it turned out to be something )f a gale, with a. downpour that .eaped from eaves' spouts and at zimes formed a silvery screen be- tween our houses and the one on the hill. But with James at the helm of our weathered ship, hatches had been battened down in advance of it. Doors had been clos- ed against it, and windows: those of the family abroad in the truck on an early trip to town were advised to hasten their shopping and hurry their return. And yet in spite of due precautions. the affairs-of our farming took us out in the teem of it. We experienced the rude on- slaught of the rain ih our face, saw the old spruces in the orchard and the lawn frees bow and stagger before the gale and heard at first hand the fury in the voice of the wind. y

Doors had been closed and all made ship-shape for the storm. But our precautions had not allow- ed for the deluge of rain which des- cended. nor did we suppose the old- er turkey poults would prefer to remain in an exposed comer of their quarters. instead of seeking its shelter. James was for letting "the confounded things drown and be doneiwith them! stop the feed-bill that wayi" But even if he professes to find chicken quite as tasteful or indeed declared he "would just as soon sit down to a piece of herring as to turkey any

our farmers had their own trou. blea in the wake of it. and with them we sighed over the sight of the storm-tossed fields of grain.

We overhellr two opinions at the moment, now that the younger farmer has come in to "leaiey" Mefl!- "It's one terrible mess!" James is sure." Jock is more optim- istic. "Given fine weather. it's rug. prising how soon it will recover. on. we may have a tangle in places when we come to cut it." As yet, no golden shade of the harvest has some to our fields.

That Body Of Yours.

w James W. Berton. Iui. You AND YOUR HEART

some of us as we think of the body.1wonder at the hundreds of diseases and the things that go wrong with us while many more of us as we think of the way we use and misuse the body wonder than anyone of us is really well, is really healthy.

In the book. "You and Your Heart," a clinic for laymen on the heart and circulation edited by Dr H. M. Marvin, President. American Heart Association and Associate clinical Professor of Medicine. Yale University, many of the ques- tions all sufferers with hear: and bloodvessel disease would like to ask are answered in language we can all understand.

0 f

the public all about how the heart works. how much work it does or can do in an emergency, nor does it tell much about the meaning of various symptoms. It does, now- ever. tell about the "amazing rou- tine by which the human body keeps well in spite of the manifold strains and stresses to which it is subjected almost all the time and which is seldom noticed at all untxl part of it gets a little out of order. Then indeed there is a cry for greater knowledge as to how to get put right again."

In addition to the chapter writ- ten by Dr. Marvin. there are chap- ters by four outstanding heart specialists: Prof. Irwin S. Wright, Cornell University. Dr. Irvine H. Page, Director of Research, Cleve- land Clinic Foundation, Dr r Duckett Jones. Medical Director. the Helen Hay Whitney Found- ation. and Dr? David D. Rutstein Professor of Preventive M-dir,!ru- Harvard University. Dr. Paul D White wrote the introduction.

I believe this book covers all that the heart sufferer net-ds'to know to be willi 1 to follow faithfully the few sim le rules as to food rest. and exercise that will enable him to live a useful life for many years, and many to live just as long and comfortably as if they nad no heart disease. Thus in his forward. Prof. Marvin states. "This is not a self-help book, designed to enabl- the reader to make diagnoses and presqibe treatment. Its chief pur- pose is to bring some measure 3' enlightenment and unclerstanding to all who read it and great com- fort to many who have suffered needless anxiety through mis- understanding or lack of know- ledge."

I 'believe every physician would be pleased to have his heart. pat- ients read this ccmpiete book. which will relieve fears and anx- iety about heart symptoms.

"s poaoniv DIX SAYS -

Age Difference

Wife Upset Because Husband Is Few Months Her Junior

DEAR MISS DIX. I am a young man, married to a beautiful and charming girl. I deceived her about my age. for I am a few months younger than she is. but by some unfortunate accident she found my birth certificate and since then she refuses to talk to me and spends the time in tears and gloom. We were so happy together until this happcned. Now all is changed and we are miserable. What can I do?

G. A. G.

think your wile must be singularly lacking in good old, hard horse sense if she is letting such an in- significant thing as a few months" difference in age wleck a happy marriage. If she had found out that you had another wife. or that you had some terribw blot upon your past. or that you were a drunkard. or took dope, she might feel that you had inveigled her into marriage under false pretenses and .thaf. she had cause for grief. But when your secret is no- thing more serious than a birthday, it is to laugh.

ANSWER: I

ARE Moan mroaraur "morons

There are a thousand things more important to consider in pick- ing out a husband or wife than his or her age. And the way a mar- riage turns out depends upon the congeniality and suitability and characters and manners and habits of the contracting parties not upon which has the most candles on his or her birthday cake.

Of course, when December weds May, disaster is bound to en- sue. Burt, leaving out a great disparity of years. it doan't make a particle of difference whether the wife or the husband is "the elder so far as the succes of the marriage goes. As a mattter of fact you Cannot 80 by the calendar in judging the real age of an individual. There are men and women who are mere girls and boys at 70, and boys and girls who are senile at 17. It is our dispositions and "ways" that keep young and flexible or get wrinkled and stiff and have rheumatism in their joints. . .

This holds good for the man marrying the woman older than himself. If he is old for his age and she is young for hers. they'meet on a common ground and age becomes negligible. Nor is there any reason why a man should not marry a woman older than himself if he is of the mother-complex type. Many ,such marriages are most happy. because the older woman can give the husband a love and tenderness that no young wife could.

The objection formerly made to such marriages was that wo- men aged quicker than men did, but this is not true now that wo- men make a cult of youth and good looks. And most of them stay I perpetual 39. '

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: What is your advice to a girl who seems to have assumed the role of a fairy godmother to her crowd? I am a good-looking girl, popular with the boys, but solely as a mother confessor. They confide their love affairs to me. When they have trouble with the girl friend they get me to straighten out things. I have to press-agent them to the girl's family. and so forth. Of course. I like to help someone in trouble. but I . would like to be the girl friend myself sometimes instead of the confidant about how much he loves her. The only men I seem to attract are confirmed bachelors who just want an interesting companion. i

M.

ANSWER: The next time .a boy commences telling you how much he loves another girl just yawn in his face and tell him that other people's sentimental affairs are of no interest to you-that you have heart troubles of your own. When you become nothing but a confid- ante and little Miss Fixit, you put yourself out of the running.

Probably your trouble is that you are more mature and sensible than the boys and girls with whom you run. That in why they come to you for advice instead of lo e-making. And there is nothing you can do about that. for nothing is more absurd than a sensible girl who tries to act irittenlsh.

. In reality. you are in luck that you attract the older men in- stead of the boys, because the older men are the marrying men. Nor is there any better fly with which to halt your hook than being an interesting companion. The girl who carries an entertaining line of convention and who can keep A man interested and amused has a charm to conjure with. Once you have made a man depend on yo for companionship and find everything flat without you. it is all over except sending out the wedding invitations.

DEAR Miss DIX: I have given my heart to a man who still has four years college. I believe him to be sincere and true. but when he had confused that he had loved eight other girls before me I began to lose faith in him. Do you think that after he graduated he will gtlll be true to me? '

r PAT -

ANSWER: Pouibly. but it is a hundred-in-one-dict you are taking on a weddinl ring if you are depending on him to supply if. Four years is a long- test of any man's faithfulness. elpecially when he goes .to college. For in that time he is thrown in a new environ- ment. with new people, new interests. new aspirations. new thoughts. and he comes out a changed man. Besides. any youth who has eight previous sweethearts shows that he it fickle and that he has too much -facility in loving. ' . .

Tsurnaamo or. rigs

Th; old saying "Birds of a fee-' thor flock together" is was a. Nighthawks anyway. At this season there is a great mhorinz om-h-: clan. and if you happen to no just under their fly.way in late after- noon you may see flocks ranging in also from a mere half deem to perhaps 200. This migration con- tinuea intermittently until mid- September. In 'spite' of theinamo they bear no relation, to Hawks. belonging instead to the Go'ifsuok- or family. of which whip-poon wills and Chimney Swifts are also members. occassionally Swifts join flocks qf. Nighthawks on their way south.

Nighthawits' food is entlrcly- in- sects. most of which they catch in the air. scooping them up in their wide mouths. They seem not to have a preference for any special kind of insect These may be dim- inutive gnats, orilarge moths and dragon flies. Because they catch mosquitoes they are often called ' , ” Hawks. They are said to like fire files. For birds only about 10 inches long. they eat a great

eel.

d

Those of us who are city dwell- 'rs probably have a better chance than our country cousin: of heco.-n- ing acquainted with these useful birds. Every city has several pairs of Nighthawks which chorus the flat roofs of tall buildings for their homes, whereas in country districts the two speckled eggs are laid right on t e ground in fields, as was don byiour Niglithawkr ancestor-: before man overran this continent No nest is ever made. The vounc ones are dark cream mottled with brown. and are carefully guarded by their mother. who is generally also the parent to feed them. by putting. her insect-laden bill down the tiny throats. - You surelvihave heard the Night- hawk's nasal "beent peent" call as it fliesv-'over the housetons after you are in bed at night. The best time to see one at fairly close quarters is at dusk. Then you may get a look at the white spot in each wing. that has the unpearlllce of a great hole. The male has a white breast band and a white band across his tail. You rnav recornizr the female bv her fluffy throat and no tail band. And listen for the curious. hollow. boornlng sound. ouite unlike any other noise. which is made by the wind in a feigni- hawk's wings when it diveagdowri from a great height and then sud- denlv checks its flight. - Are our birds protected?
