SUMMERTIME
BY d. C. PEATTH
>HE beauty of the marshes Is
xonoethfpC that II is hard to

THE beauty Of the marshes is
something that 1t is hard to
make people see, II they do not
wish to see 1t, which Is the same
thing as saying that too many
have made up their minds that nature
must be sweet and pretty, as glen IN
the woods is sweet and pretty.
The marshes are certainly not that.
They are not, these days, high-grown
with reed and rice-graSs and mallow,
they are monotonous, and they are
more or less dangerous, since one can
neither walk nor swim them.
Beauty they have, the harsh, hostile
beauty Of the truly wild. I am con-
vinced that the widest and least known
part of the District is included In the
marshes of the Eastern Branch. Only
the fowlers or marksmen frequent those
stagnant water-lanes, those covertS un-
der the rustling reeds, the lisping leaves
of the wild rice, for here 1t Is that the
southward-winging ducks descend. the
bobolinks, and red-winged blackbirds.
Here the pickerel-weed flowers in its
strange, tropical-looking, sultry blue,
and on 1t the naturalist looks for rare
aquatic leaf-beetles, soldier-flies, Carab
beetles, and many aquatic bugs. 1t Is a
great meeting ground Of fishes like the
silverside, the sunflsh, gar, killifsh,
pickerel and mud-minnow.
If you are botanically inclined, 1t Is
the place to look for spatter-dock, ar
row-head, that pure, immaculate lily
like flower rising from lowliest mud that
breathes the fetid odor of marsh-gas.
And here you will find the waterweed
| many pondweeds, many species of bull
| rush, as graceful as the brush-strokes in
fine old Japanese landscape painting,
cord-grass, and wild celery or eel-grass,
whose male flowers break from the stem
and drift upon the still surface Of the
| water, shedding their freight Of golden
pollen on the female flowers that wait
| just at the surface, held fast by thin
| stalks, sometimes longer than a man.
When fertilized, the flowers are drawn
| under the water as mysteriously as they
suddenly appeared there, by spiral con.
fractions of the stalks, so that the fruit
| shall ripen in the mud, there to strike
| root.
These are plants for waterfowl, OF
for the specialist polling patiently along
in his scow, with net and bottle.
The real charm of the marshes lies
in its living, rustling, bending, graceful
forests Of the true reed grass, and OF
wild-rice which looks singularly like
corn in flower, growing in water S to 10
| feet deep! The only really beautiful
| flower that is tall enough to rise above
| this stately, monotonous vegetation, is
the swamp mallow, looking like some
/ aquatic sort Of hollyhock, with its great
calm, pink flowers, expanding in glory
in the shimmering heat Of the wide, the
free, the forbidding marshes of the
Eastern Branch.

there never was anything like it before.
AS for me. I don't care how bad it
may have been in the past, this is quite
bad enough. Phew! I'm hot. Even
when Mr. Sun goes to bed behind the
Purple Hills he leaves his heat here"
Johnny Chuck nodded. He GER
tainly does" said he. However, I can
stand the heat, for little of it gets
down to my bed room. 1t is too deep
In the ground for that. But I would
like to taste something green and crisp
Even here in this garden everything
IS wilted, and there is no goodneSs
in wilted things. AS I live, there Is
Old Mr.. Toad. I wonder how he likes
the weather"
Old Mr. Toad looked dusty and
shrunken. When Peter said Good
evening" he snapped back at him: 1T
isn't good evening, Peter Rabbit. You
know it isn't good evening: No eve
ming can be as hot as this and be
good" said he.
"Where have you been keeping your
self?" asked Johnny Chuck. 1T is
long time since have run across you"
well, If you haven't run across me
you probably have run over me II you
have been about in this garden much"
replied Old Mr. Toad dryly. Il buried
myself in the earth when the weather
got too hot"
why didn't you stay buried?" asked
Peter. TT certainly isn't any cooler
new
There isn't any GOODNESS or any
dampness left in the earth, it Is baked
hard" replied Old Mr.. Toad. Il had
hard work digging out. I thought I
might find some other place where I
cold be more comfortable"
And YOU haven't found it?" said
No, I haven't" replied Old Mr. Toad.
''Do you know of such placer"
Not unless you try my bed room.
It is deep enough in the ground TO
be fairly cool, and it isn't SO terribly
drv as it is here above ground. guess
I could find room for you," said Johnny
Chuck
rs it far from here?" asked Old Mr..
Toad rather anxiously .,ou
traveller as you" replied Johnny Chuck.
Old Mr.. Toad sighed Then I can't
make it." said he regretfully. II can't
travel far feeling as feel. I wish
It would rain. Have either OF you
happened to hear my cousin, Sticky
toes, the Tree Toad, calling rain?"
Peter and Johnny shook their heads.
They hadn't seen or heard Stickytoes
all Summer.
DO you mean to say" ventured
Peter chat Stickytoes can really call
rain?"
Il didn't say So" retorted Old Mr.;
Toad "I merely asked If you had heard
him calling it. I haven't myself, but
thought you might have" :,
Peter and Johnny left Old Mr.. Toad
while they searched for leaves that
were still crisp. eff Stickytoes can call
rain he is the fellow we should find"
said Peter. I'VE want him. II he
can call rain we want to know why
he hasn't. The trouble Is don't know
where to look for him"
Nor do l." replied Johnny Chuck.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.

At first glance there is nothing color
full about our word depend" If you
depend on some one you rely on that
person for support or assistance. and a
matter that depends on something else
is one contingent upon another circum-
stance.
But this word is interesting because
it is an outworn metaphor, and con-
ceals a process by which much of our
modern English speech was formed.
Literally, ito depend" means ito
hang down." 'to be sustained by being
fastened to something above" We
have it from the Latin. Pope used it
as follows in its literal sense: And
everlasting lamps depend in rows" In
this from Burke, we seen the tran
sition or extension in meaning Of the
term: you will not think it unnatu-
raj that those who have an object de-
pending, which strongly suggests their
hopes and fears, should be somewhat
inclined to superstition" And In our
modern, "She hangs on his every word,
we have something of throwback to
the words beginning.

own affairs. Suppose we illustrate this
type psychology by going into the field
Of politics.
The man or woman interested in
local politics is an external type. The
one who never goes to the polls is an
internal type, generally speaking. The
one who extends his political interests
to national circles is the external type
plus The Office seeker, however. may
be Of either type. If he is an internal.
he winds up in the column, "also ran. I"
A good vote-getter is generally a good
manipulation Of the externals, for the
Intervals don't take the trouble to vote.
But once in long while the internal
type does get to the top of the political
ladder. Then it is case of some po-
litical mishap due to number Of un-
related factors, or again 1t is q matter
of some issue which is new and big
enough to set all other interests aside
temporarily.

Attitude Types.

People are interested In many things.
Some Of these interests are temporary,
others permanent. The abiding inter-
ests have constant connections, and
tend to make men over into personality
types. When you have determined in
a general way what an individuals
permanent interests are, you are on the
way to knowing him as the possessor
Of q given attitude Of mind.
To start with, you can classify people
into two groups, the external type
and the internal" type. The externals
are interested in social affairs; the in
ternal is interested in himself and his

AVOID THE
DANGER OF
CONSTIPATION
Delicious Cereal Overcomes
This Condition Safely and
Pleasantly.

The first signs of constipation
may be headaches, tired feelings,
saliow complexions, sleeplessness,
loss of appetite. If neglected, con-
stipation may seriously impair
health.
Today, you can Danish constipa-
ton by simply, eating a delicious
cereal. Laboratory tests show
that Kellogg's ALL-BRAN provides
bulk" to exercise the intestines,
and vitamin B to further aid reg
ular habits. ALL-BRAN is also a
good source of iron for the blood.
This "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is
gentle in action similar to leafy
vegetables. Within the body, 1t
forms a soft mass, and gently
clears out the intestinal wastes.
Two tablespoonfuls daily will
overcome most types of common
constipation. If not relieved this
way, see your doctor.
Enjoy ALL-BRAN as cereal, or
use in cooking. Appetizing recipes

Washington were established favor
ties today to capture 1893 coast
honors by virtue of their sweeping
victory over the University of Cali
fornia on the broad Oakland estu-
ary Saturday before $4,000 specta-
tors.
Three events-the varsity, jaycee
and freshman races-fell before the
clean sweeping strokes of the Hus-
kies who were avenging their de-
feat of last year when the Golden
Bears were on their way TO the
world championship.
Hitting powerful 80 strokes a
minute, the Washington varsity
pulled away to an early lead. Open
water showed between the racing
shells before they had traversed a
mile. The lead was steadily in
creased until at the finish lire 1t
reached 10 lengths. The victors'
time was 1892, which although
not a record was fast in view of
unfavorable wind conditions. Cali
fornia used a faster str oke-35 per
minute-but the steady, longer pull
of the Washington oarsmen proved
superior from the outset

dirt with his claws.
"It's about Willie, the worm,"
answered the rabbit.
"Ha! Is he here?" asked Charlie,
eagerly. Show me where and I'll
catch him Oh, no! This is 1uck!.
and he crowed loudly and looked
about in the grass and weeds for
sight of Willie the worm.
He isn't here" said Uncle Wig
gily. "But why are you always af-
ter that little worm. Charlie? What
do you want with him?"
Want with him? Why, I want to
eat him, of course!" crowed the
rooster. Worms are good for me
to eat" rt
Eyes, but it isn't good for the
wormi said Uncle Wiggily. Poor
Willie is so worried, Charlie. He
says he never can go out and have
a walk before breakfast without
fearing you are going to pounce on
him. Why don't you let him alone?
He says you pick on him."

may have better luck next time"
Nov look here!" said Uncle Wig
gily, speaking serious and like the
Lady Mouse Teacher in the Hollow

Willie the worm alone, Charlie
Boy! viii you as a favor?"
why, of course, I will if you ask
me to, Uncle Wiggily," said Char
lie. "I didn't know the worm mind
ed being picked at. You tell him he
needn't worry any more. I'll let
him alone"
Good" said Mr.. Longears. Per
haps you'll have time Charlie, to
come and tell him yourself, before
! you go to school"
II will" crowed the little rooster
Come onl' So Uncle Wiggily and
Charlie ran fast together until they
reached the worms hole. Willie
was out crawling around and when
he saw the rooster he tried to pop
back into the hole. But Uncle Wig
gily told him not to be afraid and
Charlie also crowed, saying:
81 won't pick at you any more,
Willie"
"Oh, I'm so happy said the lit
tie worm boy. Then Charlie ran
on to school and the worm thank

Pacific Coast
League Scores
(By United Press

Firmly berthed in first place al
the end of the first week of hostili-
ties, Oakland rested today with
other Coast league clubs before
shifting engagements tomorrow
with Portland.
After running up six straight
victories at the expense of Missions,
the Oaks winning streak was snap
ped in the nightcap of q double
header yesterday by the Reds, 10
to 8. Oakland was forced TO go 10
innings before winning the morn
ing opener, to 4. The Missions
mauled three Oakland pitchers for
Is hits in winning their initial
game of the season, Eckhardt pro-
viding the greatest punch with four
hits, including a triple and double.
Los Angeles observed Arnold
STATE day" by clubbing a double
victory over Seattle 10 to 5 and 5
to 3 and taking undisputed possess
sion of second place. The leagues
most valuable player last year re-
sronded to the observance by polling
three hits, including a homer. Mul-
ler and Welsh for Seattle and Lii
lard for Los Angeles homered In
the nightcap.
San Francisco took the series
with the league champions, fouI
games out of seven, by conquering
Portland in the finale, 6 to 3, after
dropping the first game of the
doubleheader. to 2. Dana cele-
brated the day against his former
teammates by garnering a triple
and two singles off three San Fran
cisco pitchers. Henderson, Seal
hurler, was forced to retire in the
first game with split finger and
may be out of uniform a week.
Vinci's steady twirling enabled
Sacramento to take the first game
played at Stockton, from Holly
wood. 5 TO 8, but the Stars split
the doubleheader in the afternoon
at Sacramento. 10 to l, behind the
six-hit pitching of Page. The Stars
raped Ryan and Noonan for IL
hits. Jacobs, star first sacker, ham,
mered out two homers.
The weeks schedule finds Port

Angeles at Hollywood, and San
