for when Fred began feeding him
bread and water and worms the bird
seemed to feel a great deal better and
he also used his wings-Or tried to
fiutter them-a little bit.
Oh, but the robin kept Fred busy,
though Yes, he found himself spend
ing much time in digging worms for
the ever-hungry little robin.
One of the boys had brought dog
TO camp and the dog became friendly
with the little robin, too, and would
sit around and watch it for hours.
The dog wouldn't hurt the robin for
anything-in fact he seemed TO feel
that he was q clumsy creature and
that he must walk every carefully
when the robin was about.
The robin seemed to feel that all
the boys had to do in the world was
to feed him
In fact he let them know. so they
couldn't mistake what he meant by
any possible chance, when ne wanted
10 be fed.
He would scold and fuss and give a
croaky chirp until the meal was on the
way.
Then the dog would give a little
bark, too. as though to say
Baby robin is hungry now, boys.
Step lively, boys; baby roLin is hun
cry
The dog used to have friends come
o,ro,, 40 esnn him from tbp npaPhV
town and Fred would have Jumps of
sugar for the guests as they appeared
to pass the time of day and to tell
the news of the dog world.
But the robin was the great center
of attraction and everyone was good
to him.
When the dogs friends would come
to call the dog would take the others
away in case they did not under
stand
But sometimes he would bring one
TO see the robin and the visitor dog
would come about so carefully, almost,
too. as though he were afraid he would
do something clumsy and as though
he had been told by the dog belong
ing to Fred's camp friend that he
must be very, very careful If he were
to be allowed to see the baby robin.
And so the summer went along. And
the robin no longer was baby robin.
Instead he flew about and. though
qle now gathered his own food, he still
came around the camp for crumbs and
delicacies. And he knew that there
would always be bath and a cool
drink of water for him. too.
He was not quite so much one OF
the camping family as he had been.
He had been flying abont too much
AND the freedom of the air had made
Nim care less for the little camp.
But still he did care for it. And
he cared for his friends, too.
Most especially he cared for Fred
and the dog
He seemed to know that Fred had
been the first one to care for him and

Cleopatra in order that she may

Miss Frances Clark, 1417 Belmont

ITS TRAFFIC
PLANS
Eleven one-Way Streets and
More Speed for Autos Asked
Of D. c. Commissioners.

Eleven one-way streets and in
creased maximum speed limits, as
recommended for motor vehicles by
it's special committee, should be
established in the District, the traf-
fic committee of the Washington
Board Of Trade has stated in a
report to the Commissioners.
The request for higher speed
limits, it was stated, came after
long study and consultation with
experts, and with citizens"
This recommendation was a
compromise and was made to insure
greater safety for ALL" the letter
said, "and to reduce by thousands
the absurd number of arrests per
year for exceeding the present fixed
limits, where no element of reck-
less driving was involved and the
arrests were on the technical factor
of speed alone.
1--WE implore the adoption of a
reckless driving regulation which
will make it possible to punish
most severely reckless driving at
any speed, however far below the
maximum 1t may be, or the opera
ton of an automobile or motor
truck in an unsafe condition."
The one-way streets recommended
are:
G street, between Fifteenth and
Fourteenth, for eastbound traffic;
F street, Between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth, for westbound traffic;
Jackson place, southbound; Madison
place, northbound; east side of
Fifteenth street, between K and H,
scuthbound: west side of Fifteenth
street, between / and K streets,

tween Massachusetts and Pennsyl-

and Pennsylvania avenue, south
bound; Tenth street, between Penn
