back from the country this year, and

feels out of it, and he misses the

rid of the mosquitoes"

so glad your parents let you come here

without you. Henry's so tempera-

This praise rather put Herb on his

wanted something with a thrill in 1t.

found that mosquitoes breed in water

mosquito tribe would just naturally die
out.

mosquitoes carry disease and that the

When ha came east all he had eyes
for was the water. He saw Baltimore
harbor and its ships. He went on an
excursion out on the Chesapeake Bay
and he passed boats and boats which

day after that trip Bobby was walking
down the street when he saw just such
a boat In a shop window, little boat
which he could hold IN his hand and
which. yet.' looked exactly like those
big ones he had seen on the bay. He
loved that little boat the minute he
; saw .it. And now 1t was his. And
the boats name was the Sunrise.
Bobby took the Sunrise out to Druid
Hill Park for her first voyage. He
went down the steps to the edge of
the lake and knelt there, and put the
boat carefully down into the water
for which her slim shape had been
made. And since winds are not to be
