SPRING PEPPER.

Pickerings Hyla.
- ARLY in the Spring, when the
l. robins and bluebirds are volcmg
their delight at the approach OF
IL warm days, you will hear an
other voice coming from the
tree close to the path. Looking ABOUT
to see the owner of that shrlll voice
YOU are amazed to see such a wee Ittle
chap, and under his chin a big white
balloon 1t is a sounding-sac ana ac-
counts for the very loud notes ne Is
able to send forth.
This is our smallest frog. ana When
grown it is a little over one inch long.
On his back are dark stripes, ana
when he draws his long hind legs up
the stripes meet those on his back. HIS
feet are supplied with disk-flnlShed
toes. The disks have sticky sub
stance which enables them to hold on
to any smooth object. even glass.
On his back are tubercles which
give him a roughened appearance. his
eyes are a lovely bronze. He has no
eyelidS. The tongue. most ethclent
member. is hinged to the front OF his
lower jaw. Let gnat, mosquito or
small insect appear, and. you VIII see
the lightning-like thrust of the tongue.

too and no insect can escape once IL
is on it.
The little fellow breathes by means
of the rapid pulsation of his throat.
He shakes as if he had a chill. His
nose is two mere dots on either side
Of his snout, and the large disks, which
are little below and slightly behind
his eyes. are his ears.
In April the wee pepper mother lays
her eggs in little globes of jelly III
nearby pond. She fastenS them Sc
curely to a stone or the stalk of a
water plant In very short time the
little tadpoles hatch They are far
from robust, and many Of them fall
victim to the husky hunters in the
pond. Their little 'tummies" are red,
and they shine like metal
Unlike other tadpoles they do not
stay in the water until their tails have
been absorbed. SO anxious are they to
get out of the water that they crawl
to the edge of the pond and drag their
tails behind them They creep among
the leaves and soon are able to climb
the stems of weeds about them. Later
they climb the trees and send forth
their song.
Another interesting thing about this
little froglet is that he can change his
color and harmoniZe with those about
him Sunlight has a great deal to do

Investing in Yourself.

When talk begins to get round to in
vesting in yourself" one is apt to think
of shoes that should be shined or hair
that needs dressing, nails that need
trimming or a seedy hat that almost
cries aloud for replacement. These
common ways of investing in ones self
are worthwhile, but appearance isn't
Zone in justifying an investment.
Education is an investment. Every
day women are exclaiming: Il am so
glad know that. Why, back in school
never could see how / would ever use
that subject" knowledge is always use
ful, and often its uses are commercial
ones.
There are, of course, types of prac-
tlcal educations open to us whose value
is immediate. Any one can learn how
to type. or file. or bill, or do other rou-
tine things. Higher education fits one
for the responsible jobs that require
sound clear and accurate thought.
Why pay for education?" some
women ask 1T can't teach one to
think" That is true Nothing can
teach one to think But one can be
taught how to think and that's some
thing. Why do some women hold high
positions while others do not and can

Hawaii's Rivers of Lava.

T Tow would you like to live on an
- island built up by still active
volcanoes?
That is what the people of
Hawaii are doing Two vol
canoes, Mauna Loa and Kilauea are
very active.
When the volcanoes are quiet, 1t Is
safe to climb to the rims of their
craters. Looking down into a crater
YOU see a vast lake of lava solid at some
parts of the surface, but white-hot
elsewhere.
The lava is melted rock. When it
through the sides, a lava river rolls
down toward the sea. 1t would be no
more fun to fall into a pot of melted
iron than into lava fresh from q vol
cano. A person would have a chance
to live. however, if he fell upon slow
moving lava after 1t had travelled some
distance from the crater. The surface
of running lava quickly cools and a
crust forms. Men have walked upon
that crust while lava beneath was in
motion, but I should not advise such
trials, for you might step on the wrong
spot.
Earthquakes are felt on Hawaii, but
they seldom lead to loss of life.
Now and then lava streams have
killed people and have destroyed houses,
but in general they pass toward the sea
without great damage.
At one time the people of the pretty
little town of Hilo were shaking in their
boots. A river of lava was flowing
down from Mauna Loa! Through for

sartorial elegance indeed for Speaker

Thus far he has failed to show up in
the frock coat that gossip says Mrs.
Garner made him buy when he was

was sworn in did he wear it, nor has
the persistent talk about his being a

pepper. Why else are salt cellars and
pepper pots put on a table?
A humorist hiding under the name
"Perplexed" asks: In eating with the
fork in the left hand and knife in
right-how does one eat peas? Answered
seriously; you'd have to be left handed,
or you'd have to switch your fork
unless you skewer one pea at time on
fork prong, which is not very
practical.
j. B. writes: Can I serve a salad
fork to eat dessert because I have no
dessert forks?"
Answer-In most houses of best taste
there is absolutely no difference be-
tween salad, entree and dessert forks.
Sometimes the fish fork is slightly
different but just as often it is the
same as the others.
The last question today asks: please
tell me the size of dinner napkins,
lunch and tea napkins?"
Answer-Largest dinner napkins are
30x36 inches. Smallest dinner napkins
about "a inches square. Lunch napkins
from about Is inches to % inches. Tea
napkins would be 10 to IL inches. There
are no rules as to exact sizes.

The prolonged fight on the sales tax,
drawing as it did to the galleries thou
sands of people each day, seemed to
have had an effect on Doughton of
North Carolina, an outstanding oppo-
nent Of such a levy.
His black-gray suit. perfectly tailored,
was SO in keeping with his general ap
pearance that he looked much like a
well groomed bishop
OF course the Democrats always have
had their Beau Brummels. These have
changed little in appearance since their
accession to power.
Sirovich Of New York, foe of dramatic
csitics, remains perhaps their candidate
fer one of the best groomed members
of Congress. His red boutonniere,
daily fixture of dress, his pince-nez
affixed to black ribbon, and tailored
blue suits put him almost by himself.
For sheer sartorial splendor in the
House. however. the two delegates from
the Philippines-Guevara and Osias-

AS pet he is very amusing, and
he pays for his board by eating your

seek shelter under moss and leaves

Straight Talks to Women About Money
By MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

not? They must be able to do things,
it is true, but before they do things
they must think.
Too much has been said about the
uselesSness of an education. 1t is true
that it cannot be sold on the open
market, or it usually cannot But the
training of mind accomplished by thor
ough and sound education enhances
ones value in the business world more
than mary think or will admit.
College educationS cost from next to
nothing up to $4,000 and more. What
they are worth nobody can say. But it
can be said that the college woman has
about four-to-one advantage over the
non-college woman. In periods of )
and 10 years when the uneducated
woman is still in her old position the
college woman has progressed to execu-
tive positions.
The value of a college education is
material for some. But its dollar and
cents value is no greater than its value
in making life broader, more beauti-
full and enjoyable experience. 1t is a
bargain no matter what one may pay
for it. Any woman who can make the
most of such an education lis worth
whatever the investment costs No
other investment will pay comparable
dividends.

White river bridge on state Road
81, north Of Broad Ripple, has beer

The state highway department
has established a detour which will
be in use until the bridge is re-
paired, it was announced. For some
weeks, the department has had a
Waterman posted there directing
one-way traffic and barring heavy
loads.
According to highway officials, the
bridge became dangerous when Ter
tain trusses we're broken by the
weight of a heavy truck.
A new bridge is under construc-
ton on the new routing of 81 on
North Meridian street.
The present detour is on College
avenue to Seventy fifth street, and
then on a county road which re-
joins 81 near Nora. The road is a
good one. but there is dangerous
railway crossing, officials said.
