To the ]. T. c.: When 1 came back
from Pohick Church, which I wrote
about the other day. I thought how
nice it would be if. there were a good
road to that place that connected with
the road to Mount Vernon. Then I read
OF the plan for Roads Of Remembrance
and memorial trees that the American
Legion is planting everywhere. and I
knew the Junior Travel Club would be
interested in that plan for beautifying
the country. The roads through Arling-
ton Cemetery are fine and there are
thousands of trees in that place. Spear
man Lewis, friend of mine who was
1T France, told me that the roads in
France are all lined with trees.
So got picture of a beautiful road
at Missionary Ridge. and thought l
would get The Junior Travel Club to put
In a good word for tree planting. The
battle near Chattanooga started in July.
this summer. Missionary Ridge was
one of the battles. and am told that
all through the country now especially
in the south they are planting memorial
trees along roads. Here in Washington.
522 memorial trees have been marked
and dedicated by the American Legion
along Sixteenth street that leads out
to Walter Reed hospital. That is a
beautiful street now. and 1t will be
more beautiful as the years go by.
When you ride out that street and see
the little white markers with name on
each beside tree, it certainly makes
you stop and think lot.
1 remembered my visit to the library
where Truth and Peace and History
stood lined up against Fraud and all
things bad and wondered why folks had
to make plans about war and seemed to
think they must be prepared for war
all the time.
Now they are making plans for Roads
Of Remembrance in many parts of the
country. the American Forestry Asso-
citation tells me. At Topeka. Kan. a

has just been formed. In Canton. Ohio.
where President Mckinley lived. the
Lincoln Memorial Highway Association
has planted hundreds of trees along that
road. In some towns they are planting

in memory Of the men in the war.

The Bravery of Mrs. Deer.

Old Mother Nature.
For once in his life Old Man Coy
ote was a bit careless. Perhaps he
thought Mother Deer was too busy
with her babies to be as watchful as
usual. Perhaps he thought that be-
cause she is naturally SO timid it
didn't make any particular difference.
Anyway, he wasn't as careful as usual
as he stole along to reach the place
from which he intended to rush out
to seize one Of those pretty fawns.
and Mother Deer's watchful eyes saw
him move. That is why she suddenly

place where she had seen that move

counted on. Instead, she dashed
straight at him. Yes, sir. that is just
what Mrs. Deer did.
It took Old Man Coyote SO by sur
prise that he had barely time to
dodge the sharp-edged hoofs that
struck at him. With snaH he sprang
aside. Mrs. Deer, whirled and
plunged at him again, snorting with
rage. Her great eyes, usually so soft
and gentle. fairly blazed with anger.
Old Man Coyote had no time to even

round eyed wonder at this new
mother Of theirs. this hitherto always
gentle and timid mother. In fact. he
quite forgot the twins. He forgot
what he was there for. 1t required

no chance, and with every minute
Mrs. Deer's anger seemed to increase.
Once she struck him a glancing blow
and Old Man Coyote yelped.
