Yellowbreasted Chat: Icteria

Upper parts bright olive-green:
black and white markings in front

Throat and breast bright yellow /;
belly white.
Resident (common from May l to
September; winters in Central

The handsome chat is a mocker and
a ventriloquist, and the first time you

wonder if you are listening to one
bird or half a dozen; and where is
the singer? Is he in this tree or that,
over your head or across the stream? :?

Ryan Joined Phillips in the garden.
Spring weather demanded that the
weekly conference or contest or con-
fab of the two old schoolmen should
be held in the open and Phillips clung
to his garden.
Ryan seated. himself on boulder
that made the background for the
rose briars Phillips was coaxing to-

lighted his pipe with difficulty. He
used three matches, which was always
a bad sign.

been married three months and he's
given up his job and Ellen has gone
back to work at Stratton's.
Ruth-What! Why?
Grace-They say it's so he can go

It seems he was on the brink or some
great discovery before they were
married, or thought he was. Needs
about q years more work to complete

shouldn't she work?
Grace-Ruth Armstrong, l never
heard of anything so absurd Do you
mean to tell me that you approve of
her supporting that great, lazy hulk
Of a man?
Ruth don't think that Ellen and
Jack look at it in that way. Each one
is doing the work for which they
are both fitted, and pooling their love
and resources.
Grace-Oh slush, You know as
well as I that a man has no right to
marry a woman unless he can sup
port her. 1t simply isn't decent
Ruth-WelL, i believe that sup

actual dollars and cents. Jack may
not be paying for Ellen's shoes and
beefsteaks but he's making her richer

would come back. Mother Bear
didn't. Littlest Bear started off in
another direction as fast as her short
legs would take her. She actually
was running away. Yes, sir; she
actually was running away.
She didn't pay any attention to
where she was going. There was
only one thought in that foolish little
head of hers. and that was to get
as far as she could before Mother
Bear would discover that she was
no longer following. So she ran and
ran and ran and ran until she was
quite out of breath. and until her
short legs fairly ached.
Then she climbed tree. Little
Bears always feel safer in a tree.
For that matter, big Bears often
seem to feel safer in a tree. So
Litt1est Bear climbed tree where
she found comfortable seat in a
crotch and prepared to take a rest.
She didn't intend to go to sleep. but
she did. You know she was still a
very small Bear, and she was very
tired. She was asleep almost before
she had had time to wonder if Mother
Bear had begun to look for her yet.

Littlest Bear was the most abused
little Bear that ever lived. At least
that is what she thought, or pre-
tended to think. Right down In her
heart she knew better. She knew

ished as she deserved to be. But
spoiled little people are quite apt to
think themselves abused when unex-
pectsdly they are punished. 1t was
just so with Littlest Bear.
So Littlest Bear sulked and sulked
as she tagged, along after Mother
Bear and Brother and Sister. Brother
and Sister had had feast of fish.
but Littlest Bear had had only the
littlest fish, and that was hardly more
than a bite.

them." said Littlest Bear to herself.
OF course, sheg didn't do anything Of
the kind. She was simply trying to
make herself think she did. "I'll go
again, and then I guess they will be
sorry" she continued. Yes. sir, I'll
run way, way, way of. I'll run way,
way, way off where they'll never see
me again. Probably Mother Bear will
hunt and hunt and hunt. and she'll

Still, Littlest Bear tagged along be-
hind. 1t was one thing to say that
she would run away, and. quite an
tagging farther and farther behind.
She tried to make herself believe
that Mother Bear was walking too
fast. Mother Bear was walking fast.
but Littlest Bear could have kept up
without any trouble if she had
wanted to. She kept expecting
Mother Bear to wait for her., as
Mother Bear had been in the habit of
doing. But Mother Bear didn't wait
This fact angered Lttlest Bear still
more.

me any more" grumbled Idttlest Bear

Streets. :. 80

New York, Oct 13.-Pointing to the
safe operation of motor vehicles on
the highways as one Of the chief prob
lens Of the motoring world, Charles
Clifton, president of the association,
called upon the members Of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber Of Com
merce at the fall meeting here, to give
their personal services and enlist their
organizations in the elimination Of &C
cidents.
Following the meeting the members
adjourned to the Eighth Coast Armory
to draw for space at the National Au'
tomobile Shows, New York, January
5-12, 1924; Chicago, January 26-Feb-
ruary ..
How to Stop Accidents.
President Clifton stated that there
were three main facts in the motor ac-
cident situation:
/. Motor accidents will be greater
this year than last if the present rate
keeps UP.
.. The peak of highway accidents,
mortality statistics show, is in Octo-
Der and November.
3. These hazards can be avoided, If
enough public interest is aroused.
Study Of the safety efofrts of varl-
GUS cities shows several ways which
have worked successfully.
Stricter law enforcement backed BY
public opinion is important.
More Parks Urged.
More Fairgrounds so that children
will have better play spaces than thu
street have aided in reducing acct
dents to children.
Safety education in the schools
teaching children traffic rules and thu
need for care on the highways. has re
suited in the reduction Of the chile
mortality rate in Detroit, st. Louis
and other cities.

A large percentage Of the new cars
sold today are sold to those from
whom it is necessary-if they are II

be taken in trade on the new cars

1t is plain to all that to maintain

volume of used cars be sold.
This result is accomplished by
