balmy and the food supply plentiful
There are usually triplets. Occasionally
there are four babies born during the
Winter. For such large parents, they
have the tiniest babies you ever saw.
A mother whose weight is 500 pounds
has babies that weight onehalf pound
and are inches long from the tip Of
their wee nose to the tip of their equally
small tail. The mother and the babies
remain in the den three weeks longer
than the father.
1t is at this time Of the year that
the bears attack the trunks Of trees
and often bite big chunks out Of the
trees. They never touch them at any
other time.
There is little change in the color of
the coat In Winter and Summer. The
sexes are dressed alike, the color being
deep, dark brown. blackish along the
spine, ears and legs. The fur Is white
tipped, more or less. and sometimes
there Is an area on the face or chest
that Is black.
In captivity the grizzly appreciates
kindly treatment. He Is docile and con-
tented. which is more than can be said
Of many Of the larger animals. They
reach their maturity In their 7th year
and live to be Is years old.
The early settlers say the bear caches
his food. There is on record an account
Of grizzly stealing colt and burying
it. The owner took his stand beside the
grave with gun he had used for shoot
ing deer. When the bear appeared the
small bullets sent into him angered
him greatly and he gave the man slap
over the head. The colt was dug up,
partly eaten, and shallow grave dug,
in which the man was placed. The bear
ambled of. The man came to, found
himself buried and hastily scrambled
out, fearing 1t might again be close to

Selection of Christmas Gifts
By LYDIA LIZ BARON WALKER.

the expense Of getting the thing and
the trouble also.
In deciding which gift to select for
friend there are certain points to
consider carefully Does the person
"have everything" and. being so fortu-
nate, does she have any hobbies. If
she does that Is q great help. Persons
who collect are always eager to have
new acquisitions. You can scarcely
be amiss In making contribution to q
collection.
For example, many persons delight
In collecting stamps. Just one scarce
stamp will be priced. It may cost as
much as another gift Of vastly larger
size. This depends upon its scarcity.
Try to discover what stamps the friend
Is eager to add to his collection, but
beware Of arousing his suspicious, lest
the gift lose its element of surprise.
There are persons who collect pitch
ers, baskets, spoons, glassware, china,
porcelain flgurines or animals, etc. In
fact, all sorts of things can form foun-
dations for collections, and these are
great aids in determining what to give
friends. Especially helpful is the re-
membrance Of hobbies when Iast-minute
gifts have to be selected.
Another thing to remember when
picking out or making gifts is whether
the article would prove best liked, II
1t were for the house or for the person
receiving It,. In either instance it would
come under one category or the other,
either utility or novelty.
When a useful gift is decided upon
as filling the persons wishes most sat-
isfactorily. let the present be very nice
of its kind, Then the beauty or quail
ity OF the article supplies a certain
holiday aspect. If handkerchiefs are
chosen. let them be fine and dainty. It
Is better to put the money into just a
single handkerchief and have it ex-
quisite, than to give two or three Of
medium value If necktie is to be the
gift, have it as handsome in quality
and in design as the purse can afford
without taxing it. Even such Gus
tomary things as kitchen utensils can
enter the list Of Christmas gifts. There
should be some element of novelty
about them. or else they should be of
high grade.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK

Gov. Gore for a seat in the House by

The victor stood squarely behind the
administrators policies. Gore, In his
campaign, contended the N. r. A. and
farm programs were not working satiG-
factorily.
The Democrats hailed the victory as
clear indication Of the administra-
tion's strength.
There Is q strong sentiment for infa-
ton evident among those members Of
Congress who have returned - Wash

signs many of them are willing to go
along with the President on his none
tary policy for while, if business shows
improvement.

ton. principally the persistent rumor
that something will be done to remone-

for your partner to bid four spades for

you for six spades, but that does not
matter; the important thing is that his
decision between three no trumps or
four spades will be far easier and gen.

two spades only and he has to decide
between passing or bidding two no

two no trumps you are not giving him
the right indication about the decision
you need. You do not want the hand
played in three no trumps unless his
hand Is such that he would also bid
three no trumps over three spades. I

at three no trumps without at least two

Simply this: The more you know about

posed, was assumed from the stature
Of one of the early antecedents. One
Of the first to take the name was a
member of the family of Preux. who
was an attendant on the Lord Treas
urer Hungerford, From his exceed
ingly great height he was called by
his friends and neighbors Long
Henry" Upon his marriage to lady
of quality he transposed this appela-
ton to Henry Long and became the
founder Of the Longs Of Wiltshire, Eng
land. There are many variations Of
the name in other countries, such as
Longus, lie Long and LIE Longe.
Among the several New England set
tiers of this name was Philip, whom
we find a resident Of Ipswich, Mass,
in 1648 He later removed to Boston.
There were two Richards. one who 10
Gated In Weymouth, Mass, in 1885.
and another who settled in Salisbury
before 1880. Robert Long came to New
England from County Bedford, England,
in 1885, and made his home In Charles
town, Mass. Samuel, a brother Of Philip
Of Ipswich, came over in 1648. There
were two Thomases. one settling in
Hartford, Conn, in 1865, and another
in Roxbury in 1888.

- RIzzLY BEARS are great rum
4 ners. They can outdistance
7 the swiftest horse, and, Of
~ course, no man can catch
them. The bears run is partly
lope and partly gallop. When he walks
he shuffles along and keeps this gait up
an unbelievably long time without
breaking 1t.
To many the grizzly, whose range is
from Wyoming to Alaska, In the. Rocky
Mountain region. is known as the "Sil-
vertip." Through too much hunting
this magnificent creature is becoming
extinct. Only in Yellowstone Park and
geological gardens and the wilds OF
Alaska does this bear have protection.
The grizzly Is good-natured unless
molested and annoyed. His reputation
has been otherwise He does resent an
insult and promptly dispatches his
enemy with speed and vigor. then goes
quietly about his business. He Is never
aggressive and makes every effort to get
away from man. Indians, with bows and
arrows and in parties of six or eight,
hunted these animals for their hides
and meat. Man, with his breech-loader
and magazine rifle, succeeded the In
dian.
You will notice that the grizzly is
longer than the black bear and
straighter along his back. His muzzle
is square, his jaws are longer and his
forehead narrower. The extremely long
claws, from 4 to 6 inches long and
powerfully strong, are used for digging
roots, turning over stones and logs and
for fighting. He Is not q climber of
trees. An elk weighing almost 1000
pounds can be carried of by the grizzly
with little effort
The food problem does not seem to
worry these bears. Whatever Is avail
able where they find themselves is ac-
ceptable. In the Clearwater Mountains
Of Idaho they live on salmon and are
expert anglers. Grass, ants, grubs and
wee larvae. to be found under rotten
logs, are eagerly sought. In berry sea-
son the grizzly goes on a fruit diet, re-
turning to his mixed one after the ber-
rieS are gone.
In the Northwest the wedding months
are from June until August. The grizzly
and his mate hibernate in November.

You've seen people like that. OF course

JAy was in no danger Of going hungry,
not in the least. Every day Farmer
Browns Boy kept feeding shelf at one
of the lower windows of the house well
supplied with food and there Sammy
could and did stuff himself. Not con-
tent with this he took of and hid for
future use some of the food. Every day
he had his share and little more. He
had taunted Happy Jack Squirrel be-
cause the latter could not get to that
shelf instead of being sorry for him.
