get the friendly briars to help.
For the FIRST time Flip got good
view of Peter and instantly he began
to dance around excitedly. That's the
fellow chased into the hole In the old

very same fellow! There isn't any
old wall here and I'll get him." He
began to follow along on the outer edge
Of the dear Old Briar-patch as Peter
moved along inside. When he came to
one of Peters little paths he started
to crawl in. But there was bramble
bush right there and though he nat
tened himself as much as he could,
those brambles made him yelp. Mean
vile Peter had moved along, grinning
AS he heard those little yelps.
Flip was growing more and more
excited. Every time he came to little
opening that seemed to lead into the
dear Old Briar-patch. he rushed at 1t
and tried to get in. Each time 1t
brought yelp-sometimeS two or three

him. Peter Rabbit was enjoying It, He

Flip.
Meanwhile little Mrs. Peter was
keeping out of sight. She didn't ap-
prove of what Peter was doing. She
didn't approve at all. But there was
nothing she could do about 1t and so
she sat still. Flip hadn't discovered
her at all. It made her nervous to
have that dog barking outside the dear
Old Briar-patch and doing his best to
get in. What If he should succeed In
getting in? He was a small dog and
he might get in. She did wish that
Peter would stop his teasing.
Peter didn't stop. He grew holder.
He hadn't the least bit Of fear. He
hoped that that dog would get inside
the dear Old Briar-patch. You see, he
knew that at best Flip could no more
than creep along those little paths OF
his where they went through the bram-
bles. In many places they were regu-
lar little tunnels through the brambles.
Peter could hop along through them
comfortably, but any one bigger than
Peter would have to crawl through them
and would likely to be well scratched
doing 1t. That is the reason Peter was
not afraid. That is the reason he grew

Scoutmasters and interpreters will lead these meets, and will en- courage boys of different nation- alities to mingle and make friends.
 One of the hardest worked mem. bers of the organization staff. now busy preparing for 'the jamboree, is the camp quartermaster. He is checking and putting in store thousands of articles necessary to every good scouts happiness.
 The commissary department will have an anxious time preparing food to suit the tastes of the youngsters from all parts of the world. The British scouts declare. however, that by the end of the jamboree they will have interna- tionalized roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.

CHINESE FLOWERS
 IN AMERICAN PARK
M Rf,ldsca Ills Display ol
 Rlrs Ori1tll Blossoms

Washington. D. C., May Thousands of visitors who have mar- yelled at the rainbow beauty of the rh>dodendrons in Golden Gate park, San Francisco. this spring. may have been unaware that these graceful and colorful plants blossomed this year for the first time in the United States, and that back of their intro- duction in this country is another epic story of heroic adventure of American plant hunters.
 pr, Gilbert Grosvenor. president of tho National Geograp phic society. to- day received from John McLaren, superintendent of the San Francisco park commissioners, letter which, in part, tells the story of these flowers:
 Several years ago we received through your kindness a collection of rhododendron seeds, most of them having been gathered in west ern China by Dr. Joseph F. Rock, under National Geographic society auspices.
 RlOSSOMed for First Time
 'We were successful in germinat- ing the majority of these seeds and for the past month or so many of them have been coming into blossom, for the first time in this country. These constitute both a striking color display and a very interesting bo- tantcal exhibit, and will mark a new departure in the cult of the genus rhododendron locally.
 Many forms are yet too small to have borne flowers, and it may be years before we are able to estimate fully the debt we owe to your so- ciety and to Dr. Rock"
 The rest of the story-the chap ter which embodies the adventures and dangers of plant hunting in the remote world areas-is hinted by Dr Rock in letter received at the Ma tional Geographic society headquar- ters the same day. The letter was written in the "wild west of China's Tibetan borderland, region where Dr. Rock was the first explorer to enter many areas, and where he has discovered many new plants ol economic value, revealed strange tribes, and studied ancient religious rites hitherto supposed to have been effaced from human rituals.
 Nlorc Plants Of Value
 During the summer while explor- ing we collected thousands of speci- mems of plants and earmarked such as would prove of value if introduc ed into the United States" Dr. Rock wrote. "When we returned to oui bass in the fall and requested the trihal king to exert his good influence with the outlaws of Mt. Kouka he was obliged to decline for various rexsens. He did. however, grant us permission to SO as far as the foot of one of the peaks.

Prizes for the Herald's fourth an- nual spelling contest which starts this evening at 7:30 o'clock are in the hands of the spelling bee editor and will be presented to the lucky spellers on the stage of the Central Junior High school this evening, im- mediately after the close of the
 spelling bee. The Herald has been fortunate enough to procure the promise of
 Judge B. F. Gaffney to present the prizes. Judge Gaffney was one of the judges in the Herald's first spelling bee, when he was chairman of the board of education. When he re- signed as chairman of the board of education Judge Gaffney was invited to continue as judge of future speli- ing contests, but declined on the grounds that his successor as chair man of the board of education, P. F..
 King, was the logical man. He has followed the contests with keen in- terest and this evening he again will
 appear in the spelling be in an off,

king and one from a bandit address ed to the king. It happened that after our second tour of Mt. Kouka in August a severe hail storm de- stroyed the barley fields of a tribe that lived to the southeast. This calamity they attributed to the dis pleasure of the residing deities in the snow peaks. caused by our collecting plants and birds and our climbing about those sacred peaks. They said they had planned to rob us on our second visit but now they would kill us. So the king exhorted me not to go near the mountains"
 Bridge Burning Barred Visit
 Apparently it was not the menace of the superstitious tribesmen that kept Dr. Rock from visiting the re- zion again for. he adds, in matter of fact fashion,:
 ''We then found the bridge lead- ing across the river into kouka ter ritory burned, so this prevented us from going even to the base of the mountain
 One oi Dr. Rocks memorable con- tributions to science was the loca- tion of the chaulmoogra tree, the oil of which arrests the progress of leprosy. and which is so successfully used now that the number of pa tients in various leper colonies has been materially reduced. Later, while heading an expedition of the National Geographic society. Dr. Rock sent back to this country a blight-resisting chestnut tree which IS being experimented with by the department of agriculture as a means of reforesting chestnut areas devastated by the blight.
 A complete set of Choni classic writings, hand-bound between pine board covers, deposited in the li- brary of congress, in Washington, at tests one of Dr. Rocks most im- portant discoveries: his explorations among the people of an ancient Ti- oetan principallty, ruled by here ditary prince. the existence of which was unknown to the Chinese them- selves. It was in a Choni lamasery that Dr. Rock located printing blocks of the kandjur and TandJur, chief Tibetan classics, and effected the preservation of set of the two classics which are of priceless value in a study of world religions.

Frank C. Humphrey Re. D. coxaxiag From Effects
 of Skull Crack

After lying motionless in a hos pital bed for nearly two weeks, Frank C. Humphrey of School street. was permitted to raise his head and sit up at St. Francis hos pital, Hartford. yesterday.
 Humphrey, employed as me- chanic in the Hart X Hegeman plant in Hartford, was grinding a piece of work on an emery wheel which was spinning at the rate of o,500 revolutions a minute when the stone broke. sending a heavy piece violently against his forehead. Particles of the emery were scat tered over distance of 100 feet.
 The injured workman was taken to the hospital where N-ray pictures disclosed a skull crack, which is a type of injury seldom found and much more serious than a skull fracture. Physicians ordered him to lie motionless in bed for two weeks to permit the injury to knit. His condition is now regarded as very fay orable.
