Several plans for the disposition of
money on hand were discussed by
the meeting, but no decision was ar
rived at. One idea suggested was to
secure property adjacent to the court
house and establish a park contain
ing a Red Cross hut and bandstand.
1t was brought out that any property
acquired in. such a way would neces-
sarly have the name Red Cross"
attached to it.
Another plan was for the location
of a park ON Railroad street. An
other, to get control of the Nixon
theatre for the American Legion, to
start a library, and make the place
civic center. Another was chill
dren's playground, which would have
to be called the Red Cross childrens S
playground. A site on the river was
suggested. where children could swim
in summer.

Sabra Stewart, a slim girl with
glossy brown hair brushed back from

mothers slender fingers.

hot on the back of the stove.

TO have q real vacation for once in

when her daughter had left the room !;
"she has beea in hat Office almost
five years and this is her first vaca-

Her breakfast finished, Sabra went
up to her room TO dress for her trip
down town. But first she must count
her money, for never before in all her
% years had Sabra Stewart owned
so much money.

voice answering. She listened and
soon she was aware that her mother
was talking with Aunt Nancy. For a
few minutes she stood listening, and
into her frank, brown eyes there came
a troubled look. She started to go
down stairs, then, suddenly changed
her mind and put on her hat and Coat
and went out while her mother was
still talking with Aunt Nancy.
1t was almost l o'clock when she
returned. She came laden with a box,
n bag, and a couple Of bundles.
Her mother, who had been IN
iouSly watching for her since II
o'clock, let her in.
"Now, don't scOld me-, mother the
almost GREATNESS girl cautioned the
little woman, whose brown eyes were
wide with establishment, "for l have
had the-the most thrilling time
spending that money-come up stairs
till you see"
Deity the box and bundles were
opened and their contents spread out
upon the bed; a trim suit of Oxford
gray, a blouse Of %geOrgette, a white
muslin blouse and a smart tOque to
match the lovely gray suit.
THAT suit is a real bargain, moth
er, and it's just your size, q 38, but
you have. the privilege Of changing it

"But, Sabra," Mrs. Stewart had
found her voice again. "Sabra-I-

"Oh, vacation" Sabra shrugged her
shoulders. I'm going to stay at home
and enjoy solid comfort while you
you are going with Aunt Nancy to
swelter and swat sand f1eas and mos
l%uitoes around her new cottage"
But, Sabra," Mrs. Stewart began
TO protest, Il"

Nancy on the telephone this morning."
Sabra interrupted. land you told her
hat you would love to 60, but that you
had nothing to wear and you hadn't,
mother, not a thing fit to wear. and
all because you insist on my having
everything. and, now. please, mother,

And, smiling through her tears, the
little woman clutched her da lghter's
hand and they went down sta irs to-

No Snakes in ireland.

1t Is said that there are no snakes
In Ireland, but the story that they
were driven out by st. Patrick is
probably based more on hcarsay than
historical evidence. The phrase "Con-
corning Snakes In Ireland" is frequent
~ quoted in connection with the above
story. but the phrase is itself a mis-
quotation and had in reality nothing
to do with snakes in Ireland. The orig
inaI phrase does not refer to Ireland
at all. but 10 Iceland. In q tranSla-
ton Of Harebone's works, "The Nat
ural History of Iceland" published in
London in 1853, chapter A. is headed
concerning Owls" and Is as follows /:
"There are no owls Of any kind in the
whole island" Chapter - is en-
titled concerning Snakes" and the
entire chapter is as follows: "No
snakes of any kind are to be met with
throughout the whole of the island"
The application Of the phrase to Ire
land probably at first arose from a
printers error.-New Orleans Times

Have Reserve Of Grass Seed.

1t is a good plan always to have a
reserve supply of grass seed on hand
to SOW when needed, for bare spots
may appear throughout the year. If
the soil is light and subject to injury
from drought, white clover should be
sown. 1t mats sSgether in a short
time, providing a closer woven blanket
to prevent the evaporation of water
from the soil and is considered a bet
ter resister Of drought than many OF
the grasses. 1t Is easily started.

Edible Oysters in Solid Rock.

Edible oysters that live with their
shells imbedded in solid rock, like the
fossil Of some extinct creatures, have
been discovered in Coos bay, Oregon.
The fact that they are fairly abundant
makes these strange mOllusks no less
a curiosity, and the university of the
state Is now engaged In a study of
their origin and mode Of life. Be-
cause they are considered an excep-
t~iOnally delicious food, the investiga-
tors are also examining into the posi-
bility Of their propagation for the mar
ket.
