YOU might see how we'll some OF
you are getting along with these
little lessons. Now that you know
how to develop the figures that
have been given, every one seems
to have the making for original
work, and we shall count that
mostly in making decisions as TO
your drawings. So, for instance,
when YOU have finished the last
duck. put her on farm or in a
duck squadron, or show her IN
the pond or anywhere you have
seen ducks. And when your pict-
tires tell a story then they will
mean something to us and to
other children as we'll as to you,
and we will print the best one or
two.
We received three drawings
this week with no name signed.
The three artists therefore can
not expect to see their names
printed. Be sure to write your

YOUNG SWIMMER
Florence McLaugh-
lin Beats Expert
Women.

Can you swim? Many of you can,
/ know But l wonder if any OF you
can swim five miles in less than
three hours. That is what one little
Philadelphia girl did, Florence Nc
Laughlin. Last August, when Flor
ence was only nine years old, stood
4 feet 3 inches and weighed only oS
pounds, she swan the five miles be-
tween ConShohocken and the Flat
Rock Dam in the Schuylkill River in
few seconds less than three hours.
Many people wouldn't believe it at
first when they heard about it. But
month later Florence proved her
ability by taking part in the 5H-mile
race for women in the Delaware
River. She dove in at the crack Of
the pistol and set out at fast pace,
using a graceful crawl stroke. Her
competitors were eleven OF the
famous long distance women swim
mers OF the district.
But Florence stuck close to the
leaders throughout the race and
came in fourth. Wasn't that an
honor for her:
The race did not seem to tire her
at all She was examined by several
physicians as soon as she lett the
water and they found to their sur
prise that her pulse and respiration
were absolutely normal and that she
did not show the slightest sign OF
fatigue.
Florence took her first lessons in
swimming two years ago. Now she
can dive with skill and can use with
equal ease the breast stroke, the
single and double over-arm stroke,
the trudgeon and the crawl.
She practises both winter and
summer. And how she enjoys it,
Wouldn't you, too?

invitations were out for a wonder
full feast of goose eggs at Mrs.
Fox's home on the following Sat
urday night. And he asked Mrs.
Rabbit if she was going.
That was enough! Mrs. Rabbit
determined to get back the eggs.
But she would have to be very
clever to fool Mrs. Fox.
Mrs. Rabbit knew that Mrs.
Fox would come for the last goose
egg soon. So she bored hole in
this egg at each end and blew in
at one end till the contents all
flew out at the other end and the
shell was empty. Then she
slipped inside. and Mr.. Rabbit
pasted small pieces OF white paper
over the openings.
And here Mrs. Rabbit waited
for the thieves to come, while Mr..
Rabbit hid behind tree near by.
STEALS BIG EGG WITH MRS.
RABBIT INSIDE.
Soon they came, and after much
effort the big egg was carried into
Mrs. Fox's home. Mrs. Rabbit
chuckled to herself as she saw the
other five big eggs through tiny
peephole in the paper. And in a
few moments the gay old foxes
went to tell all their neighbors
that the egg feast was ready.
Mrs. Rabbit broke the paper at
one end of the egg and slipped
out. Then she ran down the hill
and called her husband to bring
the wheel-barrow. Then they
piled in all the, eggs and carried
them away.
Poor Mr.. and Mrs. Fox wonder
to this day who got the goose
eggs!

aware of all the costs, including

to choose the kind of road that
will be best suited to their respec-
tive localities"
That this experimental work is
appreciated is evidenced by the in
terest manifested in the exhibit
by road-builders and engineers.
These have come during the last
year from the Pacific Northwest,
from all parts of the middle west,
from New England and from the
South. A recent visitor has been
Japanese civil engineer of pro-
minence; a delegation Of six county
commissioners from Florida has
recently inspected the experiment
tai roads. Their part of the coun-
, try is about to expend ST, 100000
on good roads. These visitors
came as some agriculturists, horti
culturists and foriculturists to the
national experimental farms and
botanical gardens, to determine
from practical experiments what
seeds and plants will thrive most
certainly in different climates and
under different conditions of soil.
Fully as much care, it has been
found, must be taken in having
road pavement as in planting
crops. The pavement that will do
we'll in one part of the country
will not do SO we'll in another, and
even in one locahty there are
numerous variations Of soil and
strain to be considered.
The governments road expert
ments are only IN their beginning.
Even at this earl y Stage, however,
it is possible to see how the labora-
tory system of road-making will
eventually conduce toward dura-
bility and economy in highway
construction everywhere. Chris

RICHES IN AMAZON VALLEY
Rubber Planters HaV- earned Need
Of Producing Their Own Supplies,
n Prosperity Has Followed.

at will be a long time before the
supply of rubber in the Amazon
valley has been exhausted, notwith-
standing the cry Of prophets that the
days Of rubber prosperity have ended
forever" declared R. W. Hardy Of
Valparaiso, Chile, at Washington.
On February of this year, as com
pared with the preceding month, the
shipments increased by nearly
100000 pounds, or 60 per cent
The rejuvenyation Of the industry
in Brazil is assured also in the east
ern provinces of Peru. Some months
ago a man named La Toree estab-
lished a rubber plantation Of $4,000
trees, 10000 of which were fourteen
years old. This is not the only plan
tation, however, that has been estab-
lished. There are scores of them
scattered through brazil. The long
continued depression in the rubber
market, far from disheartening rub
Der producers, taught them the
much-needed lesson of not only pro-
ducing rubber, but enough addi-
tional products to supply them with
food and some reserve crops.
"In other words, the Amazon val
ley has been taught economy. The
experts had said that Amazon rub
Der could not possibly be produced
under a certain minimum price, and
the highest factor in their calcula-
tons was the heavy cost of supplies
in a region where all supplies ven
imported from markets 1000 miles
distant. This factor has now been
eliminated. The Amazon valley is
growing its own supplies in n Of
the most benefcent climates on the
face Of the earth"
