Danny and Nan nv had been just as grateful as Peter and Mrs. Peter. It made Sammy feel good. You know, it always makes one feel good to do kind deed to others and have them grateful for ttl
 When sammy left Danny and Nan nv down on the Green Meadows he had it in mind to fly over to the Green Forest and warn Whitefoot the Wood Mouse to keep his eyes extra wide open for Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy. AS he flew along he saw something that for the time being quite put WhitefQot out of his head. It was Farmer Browns boy at work along the old stone wan on the edge of the Old Ur- chsrd. He was digging.
 That's funny" thought Sammy. II wonder if he is trying to dig open somebody's house. I thought he had got over doing things like that, but you never can tell about these men folks. No, sir, you never can tell. They are queer creatures. They certainly are. guess I'll go over to the Old Orchard and see what is going on."
 So sammy flew over to the Old Orr chard without making sound and found place in an old apple tree where he could watch Farmer Browns boy. He found number of other little people doing the same thing. In fact, all the little people of the Old Orchard were watching Farmer Browns boy. 1t didn't take Sammy long to discover that. Welcome Robin, Scrapper the Kingbird, Chippy the Sparrow, Jenny Wren, Tom my Tit 8the Chickadee, Drummer the Woodpecker, Goldie the Oriole they were all sitting silent and watchful where they could see Farmer Browns hoy at work. It was as silent Tn the Old Orchard save for Farmer Browns boy himself as if there were no living creatures there. Peeping out from be- tween the stones of the old wall, Striped Chipmunk was watching just as his feathered friends were. There was q puzzled. and it seemed to sammy wee bit anxious, look in Striped Chipmunk's eyes.

DEATH IN
ATTEMPT To
SAVE WIFE
Vet Bureau Employe Jumps in
Water at Falls in Futile
Effort to Save Her

Raymond L. Taylor, assistant
chief of the application section Of
the insurance division of the Vet
Grams Bureau, is in serious condi.
ton at his home, 1923 Euclid street
northwest, today as the result Of
his vain attempt to save his wife.
Mrs. Marjorie Taylor, thirty-three.
when she slipped from rock just
below Great Falls yesterday after
noon and was swept into the
stream.
AS Taylor lies fighting a nervous
collapse and physical exhaustion
his wife's body, the police and
friends are making frantic efforts
to find the body which disappeared
into the waters.
The Taylors went to Great Falls
yesterday as they had done on
frequent other occasions. Taylor
has a car and is an ardent fisher
man. His wife usually accompanied
him on these excursions.
The accident occurred at o'clock.
and it was not until three hours
later that Taylor went home and
was prevailed upon to turn over the
search for his wife's body to others.
Taylor turned as he saw his wife
slip from the pcks and fall into the
river. He called for help as he
ran to the bank to dive in after
her, and his calls we're answered
by a band of picnickers.
He returned to the water several
times until he was completely ex-
hausted. 1t was said today that
he had been nearly drowned in his
efforts, as his lungs had been part
ly filled with water. He is delirious
at times and is under the care of
a physician and nurses at his home.
The accident occurred on the Vir-
ginia side Of the liver near the
dancing pavilion Of the Great Falls
Park.
The Taylors were married five
years. They, had no children. Mrs.
Taylor is survived by her parents,
who reside at Long Islan1. New
York. Before her marriage she was

native OF Zeanville, Kan.

Needed in D: c.

Raising of. funds for the construc.
ton OF a $4,000 laboratory and
headquarters for the District of Co.
lumbia chapter Of the American Red
Cross will be one of the goals to
be achieved during the eighth an
nual roll call, which will begin
next Tuesday, Armistice Day, and
continue until Thanksgiving.
Construction of the building has
been authorized by Congress and
the work will begin as soon as the
necessary funds are raised. The
District of Columbia already has
subscribed, through pledges or con-
tributions, approximately $28, 900
for this purpose, it was announced
today by Miss Mabel T. Boardnan.

In Washington as in past years.
Booths will be opened Tuesday
morning in banks, stores, theaters,
motion picture houses, hotels and
Government buildings, in charge Of
uniformed Red Cross workers.
Membership in the Red Cross will
be open to every resident of the
District, with fees of 81, So, SO,
and SIS for the year. Fifty cents
of each enrolment fee must be
paid into the Golfers of the Ameri.
can Red Cross and the remainder
is available to the District chapter.
Miss Boardman stated that the
District chapter must have 10000
to conduct its work doing the COM
ing year, which means 10000 en-
rollments in the 81 class. The local
chapter, however, is especially anxi-
GUS to secure enrollments in the
higher classes.
Heavy Burden Here.
"The District chapter is called
upon to shoulder a heavier burden
than any chapter of its size in the
country" Miss Boardman said.
1.-THE local chapter has within it's
Jurisdiction four national military
hospitals and in addition is called
upon to assist hundreds of ex-
service men who come to Washing
ton to adjust war compensation
difficulties.
1--WE are attempting to make the
District chapter the finest in the
world. We must have hearty sup.
port by the public in Washington
to realize this aim. The District
chapter must be built. up to the
highest standards Of efficiency be.
fore we can hope TO undertake the
building program planned for the
city.
"In addition to our local burdens,
which are unusually heavy, we are
called upon in the District to assist
the national Red Cross on many o.
casions because Of our location in
the National Capital"
The District chapter will be ma.
terially assisted in conducting the
local roll call by a decision Of
officials In charge Of Government
buildings which will permit the
opening Of booths and the activity
OF Red Cross workers in the Hobbies
Of the departmental and bureau
buildings. The chapter was denied
this privilege last year.
