H! HOW they hate to get
Ss up in the morning!"
They snuggle down under
" their warm blankets of
moss and leaves and turn
over for just one more snooze. Not
like their cousins, the red squirrels or
the gray ones up with the dawn, the
fox squirrels are downright lazy.
They will fast rather than go out on
a cold or rainy day. They have moth
ing to fear from enemies, for they
are husky fellows, the largest mem
bers of the squirrel family. Even
their most determined enemy, man,
has fine time catching them.
The food problem does not worry
them. They do gather nuts and ber-
ries for the Winter, but there are SO
many pine trees that produce the pine
nuts they love that they just are not
Interested in storing up food against
the hard times
Here are three cousins-the fox
squirrel, the red and the gray-just
as different as most cousins are. The
| fox squirrels home is in the South
eastern and Gulf States, and is found
as far West as Louisiana and as far
| North as Wisconsin. The red and the
gray squirrel live near them, often
among them, and ply their trade in
dustriouSly.
At one time this large squirrel was
introduced into Colorado from the
East. Evidently these squirrels did
not send word home to their rela-
tives to join them. Neither did they
raise large, f1ourishing families in
their new home, as they have not in
| creased as fast as was expected of
them. Those seen are in the most
perfect health.
These squirrels have rather blunt
rounded heads, ears that are small
and rounded, and though they are
larger than others in the squirrel
family, their heavy coat makes them
appear much bigger. The handsome
tail is a source of great comfort to
the owner. as it makes such nice

Sensitive Plants.

oChoAsANc A4hsos
w We DO not need to go to Eu-
n ! rope to see a sensitive
wv plant, but I happened to
see one for the first time
when I was in Belgium six
years ago. was visiting an old friend,
professor in Belgian college of
agriculture, and he took me on trip
through a greenhouse used for grow
ing rare plants.
The professor pointed out this plant
and that one. telling facts about each
but most interesting Of all was the
sensitive plant. He touched a leaf
with his finger and in moment the
leaf began to foldl He touched an
other leaf and the same thing hap
pened.
Soon was touching the leaves and
watching what happened. They
worked for me the same as for him
and I was filled with wonder.
What made the leaves fold when
touched? So far as is known, nc
plant has nerve cells or muscle cells
but it seems strange that plant car
have such motion without nerves OF
muscles.
Sensitive plants belong to the mi.
mosa family, which has about 4o(
members. Some kinds of mimosas are
trees, but the greater number of then
are bushes and small shrubs.
Several of the smaller mimoss
| plants are so quick to answer the toucl
by folding that they are classed in tht
sensitive" group. Brazil and othel
lands in South America are nativ,
homes of these plants, and they grow
wild in warm parts of Africa as well
Sensitive plants usually grow to ;
height Of one to three feet. The,
have been raised with success in som
greenhouses in our part of the world
The leaves are finely divided. No
only do they fold up when touched
but the leaf stalks drop down as well
BY touching and shaking them littl
roughly, all the leaves can be made Il
fold and droop at once. If left alon
after the touching and shaking, tn
leaves will open again and the lea
stalks will rise.
Folding and dropping take place Il
sensitive plants at night; and We ma,
say that they sleep while the sun i
out of sight.
The sensitive brier, a rose plan
which grows wild IN southern part
OF the United States, is a relative o
the sensitive plant. 1t does not shov
such quick response to the touch bu
will wither if roughly handled.
There is also the sensitive pea, will
leaves which move a little after beinl
touched; but the movement does no
equal that of sensitive plants Of th'
mimoSa family.

Then they have been watching the

corn reaches the milky stage they

they can hardly get up and down the

Many other animals are accused of
the corn theft, and so little was done
at first to catch the real thief.

-HE nine babies In the home OF
Rattles the Kingfisher grew
fast. The feathers began to
i push out, but they didn't look
like feathers. You see, each
one was tightly rolled in sheath so
that really those nine babies were
hardly any better looking than they
were in the beginning. They looked
as If they were covered with quills
or spines. Anyway, that is the way
they would have looked If they had
been out where anybody could have
seen them.
From morning to night, and often
way into the night, Rattles and Mrs.
Rattles fished. They fished in the
Smiling Pool, along the Laughing
Brook and along the edge of the Big
River. They hshed wherever they
could find school Of minnows. Rat
ties did his share and he did it with
out grumbling. The truth is he was
every day growing more proud OF that
big family. Fathers are inclined that
way. Both he and Mrs. Rattles grew
thin. BY the time the ninth baby
had been fed the first one was crying

penalty he will give you for previous
illegal play, his rights about that
penalty are not affected, and he may
treat the card you led as an exposed
card
The question of an exposed card
also comes up in connection with two
other plays-the lead out of turn, and
the revoke. In other words, you often
have the choice of two or more pen
alties for certain illegal play. You
cannot, however, exact penalty under
one law and then claim another pen
atty under a different law. A player
might presumably do all these things
at one and the same time: Play out
of turn, revoke, tell his partner what
card he is going to play and tell his
partner that the trick is theirs.
In such case, 1t worid be best to
use the forcible election penalty
Throw him out into the snow. I as
sure you that this penalty is looked
upon with great favor by a number
of players. 1t covers all the more
fragrant, illegal plays and bids.

By this time the babies were begin

sometimes when they heard other

those cries and the secret be discov-

done about it, So far as Rattles and

IL the beSt-dreSSed juniors In

1 4 with deep sailor collars, braid
ed in white, to give them
note of nautical authenticity.
The model sketched comes from a
. famous house that has specialized in
distinctive clothes for girls over long
period of years. 1t has been designed
with thought in mind for the young
wearer's interest and comfort. Those
who have had experience with the alb
sent minded habits of the young will
appreciate having frock of this type
made all in one piece instead of two
plus accessories. Action-pleats give
freedom to the back and front. The
tie, instead of going around the neck
in the old-fashioned way, is run
through slashes, where the collar joins
the dress, making it possible to stay
in the original knot, between wash
ings, without constantly being mussed
by retyings. The absence of sleeves
is modified by bands that give mod
est. yet not cumbersome, finish to the
armhole.

are the materials used in the marine
type of frocks While white, with
navy accents, dominates the Summer
note, other color schemes show a ten
dency toward more practical varia-
tions. Pale blue crepe, with navy
blue stripes and tie, and navy pique,
with white trimmings, are two effec-
tive combinations that are slated for
everyday wear. White wooden is
shown for actual seagoing use. In
every case, nautical millinery and
accessories should be worn.
Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1898 is
designed in 8. 10, II, IA and Is year
sizes. Size y years requires 3 yards
of 35 or 80 inch material, "a yard

 Collectors Woes
 It never rains but it pours in the opinion of Leo Kwasnieuski, bor- cugh garbage collector. Various things caused garbage collections to be slow a couple of months ago but MT Kwasnieuski had just about got things strengthened up and collections on time when the blizzard came along and hampered garbage collections considerably.
 However, MT Kwasnieuski was working hard since the thaw to catch up on collections but yester- day came the climax. As he was coming down North Church street from Middlebury near Nichols garage his truck, he claims, was hit by an auto coming out of a side street and caromed into poll, damaging the truck to the extent of about $150. Other reports had it that the garbage collectors truck skidded into the other car.
 However, no matter how the &C., cident occurred, the truck was damaged badly enough to take time for repairs of it and indica- tions were that the balmy spring Sreezes might not be so beautifully scented to local residents if collec- tions become any slower. But MT Kwasnieuski achieved a Napoleonic stroke to baffle the i'll luck which has dogged him so long. He hired truck from the borough and will continue his garbage collections to- night as usual. So local residents Eeed not worry for a time at least.
