Drinkers in Insect World.

.THERE are many heavy drinkers
in the insect world. to say Moth
ing Of the cocktail class! See
Il ing a tree or plant visited by
SwarmS Of insects Is no indica-
ton whatever that it is the nectar
they are seeking as food for them
selves or family. Far from it. For
reasons unknown to the wise and pru-
dent. Nature is lavish provider of
strong drinks and wines. The appetite
may be inherited or acquired.
The honey bee has been praised for
years untold for her industry frugality
and social organization, yet today she
will pass by the most delicious nectar
of flowers, clover and alfalfa, close by,
and fly for miles to a fresh mash heap
thrown OUT by careless bootlegger.
There are times, 1t is true, after a
busy season, when tired and worn, she
succumbS to the temptation OF the wine
served at the sign of the grapevine,
or a well known tree where aphidS hold
forth.
Toddy-palm court is the rendezvous
of the Hercules beetle and others in
the country where this drink Is brewed.
1t has been said that the beetle will
invite his friends to join him, and, each
in his own flying machine, they soon
reach the spot. The sap flows along
the incise6 spathes of the palm. 1t is
a most popular resort. :.
The little nurse bees are said to be
guilty of concocting soothing drink
for the restless babies in the hive.
The cocktail shaker is tiny hollow
in the top of her head. 1t has the
same effect as paregoric. Maybe the
nurses have been overworked, and just
had to have rest. Their record OF

Well Protected Home.
No home is what a HON, should be
That Is not made from danger free.
-Cocky the Read Runner.

Cocky the Road Runner lives In a
land where constant vatchfulneSS is
necessary in order to live OF course,
this Is more or less true everywhere
All the little people of the Green Mead
ows and the Green Forest have to
watch out for enemies, as you know,
but there 1t is an easy matter to hide
their homes. There are tall trees and
plenty of them for the feathered folk
who live in trees. For those who live
on the ground there are bushes and
tall grass in which homes can be Sc
curely hidden. In the desetr land there
are no tall trees, and no grass wherein
to hide the homes and keep the babies
safe. Homes there must be protected
rather than hidden. No one knows this
better than Cocky and Mrs. Cocky the
Road Runners.
Mrs. Cocky had spent great deal of
time and care in selecting the place for
their nest. Cocky had almost lost pa
thence with her. Te had begun to
wonder II she ever would be satisfied
But when at last she took him to the
rlace she had chosen he was filled with
admiration.
my dear" said he, at is perfect.
"If our babies are not safe here they
would not be safe anywhere"
~ WdS u CAuLIlp Cl Gus IIldC
Mrs. Cocky had chosen, a kind of
cactus known as the cholla, and like
most kinds Of cactus the plants were
covered with the sharpest Of sharp
spines, Mrs. Cocky had chosen the
largest cholla, and in the very midst of
1t she proposed they kuild their nest.
1T is good thing" said she, that
we know how to avoid those spines or
how to pull them cut if we do step on
one now and then. Once We have our
nest built in here, no one Is going to
bother us. 1t will be s2fe from all rob-
bers. No Snake or Lard is going to
even try to climb - to it, and no
Hawk Is going to try to get at it from
above. When the babies are young and
helpless We will not have to worry about
them when we are cE'ay hunting food
for them. They will be perfectly pro-
tected. Now let us get busy and start
as soon as possible"
This suited Cocky and he promptly
said so. So in the middle of that cac-
tus . nest was built, a rather large
nest made Of sticks and such other ma
terial as could be found, including some
and the csst skin of a snake.
It was Cocky who ound this, and very
proud he was when he brought it to
the nest

pairs of shoes and to wear one pair for
a day or two and then change to the
other pair. Strange as it may seem, the
leather lasted longer If given rests be-
tween wearings.
In buying gloves she chose the wash
able kind. With textile gloves this was
simple. But there were certain points
of technique to be observed in washing
leather ones. Pigskin should be scrubbed
both inside and out in mild soap suds
and rinsed until every trace of soap is
gone. Chamois gloves should be washed
in mild soap suds and rinSed in water
in which there is slight soapiness.
White leather bags could be cleaned,
she found, by using art gum or spongy
rubber erasers. When extremely soiled
cream cleaner used for white kid
gloves would do the trick.
She found that the life Of many
clothes was increased by frequent trips
to good dry cleaning establishment.

and ladies, too, victims to this drink
Once they have had a taste of it, it
is useless to suggest they sign the
pledge. Sporty drinkers prefer the
Pitcher Plant Club. The plant keeps
open house. and its patrons lose all
sense of responsibility. The doors close
upon him. He dies in his cups, VIC
tim of his appetite.
The ants are conservative drinkers.
Honeydew and oak gall wine is as far
as they go. They never go on pro-
longed sprees. True, they have their
own wine cellars, using a worker ant
for storage purposes!

Budgeting for Small Incomes

as Housing, Provisions Household Up

Clothing and any special items pertain

The income must be set down def

many sources that they may be dif1cult

the desirability of more detailed budget
