DISTRICT URGED
To INVEST
SURPLUS

Advancing the suggestion that
the District should be allowed to
invest at least a portion of it's
cash surplus, District officials
were received warmly on that
proposition by members of the
Senate District Appropriations
subcommittee.
That such a suggestion was dis
cusSed was learned today when
the hearings on the District sup
ply bill were made public.
The matter was broached by
Senator Elmer Thomas (DD of
Oklahoma, chairman of the sub
committee. who, during the hear
ings asked:
eff the District of Columbia
were private corporation,
managed by the present Board
of Commissioners, would you
consider it good business to
keep S1O,O0O,0OO in the bank at
all times?"
NOT GOOD BUSINESS
Major Daniel J. Donovan,
District auditor. replied that it
would absolutely not" be good
business, and pointed out that
$4,000,000 would be a sufficient
working capital.
This discussion led to the reve-
1ation that the District usually
has on hand a cash surplus of
about $10,0O0,0O0 and that moth
ing is being earned by this cash
that it is lying idle in the
Treasury.
Senator Royal S. Copeland CD
of New York, explained that
while he was mayor of city,
that city's cash was banked each
day so that interest could be
accumulated. and he added:
"NOw, these people in the
District of Columbia have that
money in the Treasury of the
United States. 1t properly be-
longs to the District, but they
get no benefit from it, not
even interest"
S4,OOO,OOO SUFFICIENT
Senator Thomas then asked:
How much money do you
feel would be safe to place on
call or in Government bonds
in the event that policy should
be decided upOn?"
Major Donovan answered:
Il would say not less than
$4,OOO,OOO. I will put it this
way, anything we had above
$4,000, 600"

Green Meadows with Farmer Browns
Boy, keeping close to the latter's heels
while he caught grasshoppers and
crickets for him, for he was not yet
quick enough to catch the lively hop
pers for himself.
Farmer Brown chuckled as he
watched Little Jimmy eat his twenty
eighth grasshopper, after good sup
per of oatmeal and milk. IF that
little rascal can eat that many hop
pers right after a hearty meal, how
many would it take to fill hungry,
fully grown Skunk? There's a prob
lem for you," said he. Il knew that
Skunks eat grubs and insects, but
had no idea they ate so many. 1t
would pay to have a few SkunkS
around, just to hold down the grass
hoppers and garden pests, if they
would just leave the chickens alone. I"
"Shut the chickens up properly at
night and they'll never be bothered
by Jimmy Skunk or any of his FAM
ily," replied Farmer Browns Boy. II
doubt if they ever would be bothered
if there was plenty of other food
for Jimmy. Anyway. don't believe
most Skunks are chicken killers. 1t
is only those that have learned how
good chicken meat is and have ac-
quired the taste. Little Jimmy there
wouldn't taste bit of chicken I cf-
fered him. Turned up his nose at it.
When Skunk has the chicken habit

isn't right to condemn all Skrlnks
for what few do. No, sir; it isn't
right. And even for those a chicken
or two wouldn't be too high a price
to pay for the good done by them in
destroying pests we cannot well fight
ourselves"
Farmer Browns eyes twinkled. 81
wonder If you would feel the same
way if Little Jimmy should kill one
of your prize pullets," said he.
"Of course, would" replied Farmer
Browns Boy stoutly. Anyway, Little
Jimmy won't have a chance. I'll see
to that. And I don't believe he would
touch one, anyway. Would you,
Jimmy?"
He was too busy digging out a white
grub in the roots of the grass. Farmer
Brown nodded approval as he saw
that grub finally dug up and eaten.
Hes paying for his keep, all right,
the little rascal" said he. There is
nothing kills out the grass like those
grubs in the roots, and there's no
way Of destroying them. Little Jimmy
is doing the job for us. How that
nose of his smells them out under
ground, I don't know, but is seems to.
Son, guess if we knew all the facts,
there are lot of creatures men are
always ready to kill that do more
good than harm. That little Skunk
has already taught me lot, and I
suspect he is going to teach me a lot
more"

~ ONVICTS, the circus people
call them, and they most
surely furnished the idea for
" the chain-gang costume. Yet
the color pattern serves the
zebra in the reverse order that it does
the convict.
A zebra is so perfectly marked that
his stripes blend with the shadows,
and like all animals that roam over
the plains his under surface is lighter
than his upper one. When standing
where the sunlight casts shadows
over and through the foliage, the
zebra's stripes camoufiage him we'll.
There are five species of zebra all
found in Africa. 1t is by their stripes
that you know them. No two are
even striped alike, but the species
have an individual pattern. This one
is Chapman's and it is the only one
to have shadow stripes on its rump
and 1anks. 1t also has a more
creamy white background for the
broad black stripes. 1t is said that
the zebra is the best groomed animal
in the world. He certainly looks it.
You would be amazed to see him take
dust bath, though. This may have
another reason than for getting
"mussed-up." All animals are t-ou-
bled with pestiferous singing insects.
It may be the zebra rolls in the dust
to smother his.
All species have the velvety black
nose and lower lip, alert ears and
large, beautiful eyes with downward

in common with some members of
the human race. Even when they ac-
cept your sweets, pats and kindly

they will turn on you. A zebra can
give you very painful bite and as a

On the African plain where you
see a herd of zebra grazing you
should look carefully for their senti-
mel or really, policeman. He has a
funny face that makes you think he
is always amused at something. His
name is wildebeest or hartebeest and
he stands guard over the zebra herd.
He can pick out an object miles
away and know in short time
whether it is foe or not. One shrill
whistle from this guard is obeyed at
once. Sometimes the antelope or the
ostrich do police duty. Any of the
three are very competent.

like the colt of horse. tits stronger

WONDER how many of the millions
= of boys and girls returning to school
this month have good idea OF how
much they have to be thankful for.
The debt is great, indeed, and
we owe it to those who have gone
before us-who with earnest hearts
and minds have built for the future.
They have given us vast treasure
in books and the knowledge which
books contain; school buildings open
to all children, and teachers well
trained for their work.
We owe thanks, as well, to those
who are working now to bring about
better standards. In travels far and
wide over the land, I have visited
hundreds Of schools and have talked
with the teachers and pupils and
principals. I have learned of projects
in which schot classes are taking
part, and have found that many OF
those in charge are eager minded
men and women who are doing their
best for the children under their care.
Present-day schools are far ahead
of those old-time schools where pupils
were taught to the tune of hickory
stick" There are well equipped
Fairgrounds for many schools; there
are school Libraries, and even some
of the lower schools have auditoriums.

are pleased because all the pupils can
come together to listen to a visiting
speaker or watch a play, or attend
school exercises.
Modern schools teach subjects be-
side the old-time three Rs" Geog-
raphy is taught with the aid of many
pictures of foreign countries, and in
the study of history pupils learn more
about the real life of long ago. His
tories with little in them except notes
about kings, queens, presidents, wars.
battles and dates are becoming things
of the past.
Girls in schools learn many "prac-
tical" things, as the art of type
writing and ways of taking care of
home. Boys are taught to build
chairs, tables, boats and so on. 1
have visited one high school where
manual training classes have built
houses of full size, in which people
are living now.
Thus we have gone far ahead,
but let us not rest on our oars. There
are ways in which our schools can
be made greater and better.
Perhaps in our schools today there
is one who will do for the cause Of
education things as fine as did JOS

short time it can follow its mother on
its stilt-like. legs and she tempers
her gait to suit the Infant. He has
stripes that go right up into his
wee name and along the ridge of
his back from his neck to the base of
his tail there is strip of upright
fuzzy hair that is a soft brownish
color. His tail is woody looking.
1t has not been successful under
taking to domesticate the zebra. He
is really only good for show purposes
and eaten only by the lion. He will
not work in harness. You can never
tell what he will decide to do. Once
he determines in his mind not to
move-dynamite is the. only thing
that would change his position.
When he feels so inclined he is a
vicious bitter and his little. hard knife
like hoofs can rain kicks upon his
victim with the precision of a ma
chine gun.
Though the animal is a fast runner.
a heet-footed horse can overtake it.
He is also noisy fellow and voices
his sentiments day and night. His
voice is more like the dogs and when
he is wounded his groan is like that
of human beings.
Where he is used in the circus he
is always a problem. His trainer
never knows what to expect of him.
He gets frightened easily and no
matter how he is dressed up and
what he is supposed to do he bolts,
and anything in his way and tramples
upon it.
Don't get the zebra confused with
his cousin, the quagga, who looks
like cross between a zebra and a
mule. He has stripes on his head
and body but none on his legs. His
body color is whitish gray and his
stripes are not as well defined. At
distance he is blurred gray, His
sentinel is usually the ostrich. The
zebra almost always has the wilde
beest.

Beverages for PicnIcs.
There are many fruit juices that
may be carried for beverages, in
cluding canned pineapple juice, bot
tied grape juice, orange juice, to-
mato juice, and other juices in COM

appreciated.
II there is no time to make an iced
drink before starting, fill vacuum jar
with cracked ice and buy a prepared

at meal time with cold water, then
add ice and sugar. There are many
matted drinks, and powdered choco-
late sirups, which can be mixed the
last minute for either hot or sold re-

are good. Iced tomato juice is cool

The Thayers of Massachusetts, to

Conquering Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS.

West has very fine support for the
spade bid; therefore the opening
does not crowd the subsequent re-
sponses.
Second. South, who ordinarily
would not dream of making vul-
nerable overcall on this type of
holding, hopes to find a spot for a
low sacrifice bid.
Third. North's downfall Is also
due TO the so part score.
Fourth. West should definitely bid
three spades, and take the rubber.
East and West can make five spades
on the hand. West hoped to pick
up few points. however since North
and South were vulnerable.
Actually, North and South should
go down only one trick. West opened
his fourth best spade, Easts 10 fore
ing South's ace. South Immediately
returned a diamond, and went up
with the king in dummy, and East's
ace won. For some reason, East, in
stead of returning spades, laid down
the ace of hearts, and continued with
small heart. West won with the
JoSh' anu SOiAOhAdCQ "Atll Tile A1IlS Ol
hearts, on which South discarded
the deuce of spades. West now
shifted to the king of spades and
South ruffed.
South had all intention Of laying
down the ace of clubs when the time
came; safety play. enabling South
to cross-ruf the hand, and go down
only two tricks. First, he had to
knock out dummy's other diamond.
He led the nine from his own hand.
West came up with the ten and re-
turned another spade. which South
ruffed.
South led the six of diamonds,
and West, instead of dropping the
eight, played the queen ON the trick.
"Hello!" thought South in some sur
prise. well, that disposes of the
diamond suit. All I can lose now
is the king Of clubs" He trumped
the diamond with the jack of clubs
in dummy, and now thinking that
there was good possibility of East's
holding the king of clubs, he made
the brilliant return of the queen of
clubs. West won with his singleton
king. and laid down his fourth dia-
mond. East overruffed dummy.
Thus passes the glory of the world.
South went down three tricks, vll-
nerable.
