Striped Squirrel.
CiteIlus tridecemlineatus.


TOR seven months each year
= this sun worshiper Is dead to
all that is going on about him.
l. The sleep is so profound that
major operation can be per-
formed on him and not nerve will
twitch. BY Spring. the sleeper is
gaunt and thin. He is far from
handsome now, yet these are his
counting days.
There are three related species.
They cannot be confused with any
other ground squirrel, for their stripes
betray them. All of the 13 striped
squirrels look much alike. Size and
a slight variation in color are all
We can notice. Scientists know Of the
structural difference.
This desert child has a range over
Central North America, from eastern
Michigan to Montana, Colorado, Cen
trail Texas, north to Saskatchewan
Plains and in the prairie region of
Mississippi from Ohio to Minnesota.
His cousins have homesteaded in Utah.
Texas, Missouri and Wyomming.
Wherever they have their domicile,
there is little If any difference in
their habits.
The coat is lovely, glossy, dark
brown, with 13 stripes running the
length of it. Seven of them are a
dull white and the remaining six are
more or less broken spots of the same
color. On the crown and the launches,
the stripes are broken up. The under
parts are tan. That tail is yellowish
brown, and the fringe is black with
a yellowiSh- white tip.
AS you whiz by on the train. or
in your car, you will not at first be
aware of the presence of these desert
racers, though there are some Of
them in plain view. Their unusual
coloration blends well with the sand
and grass about them. and their pose
is one intended to help in the deluSion
that the prairie is deserted. Suddenly
you. see what you supposed to be a
small stake driven in the ground,
drop and scoot for nearby hole.
Well, so that is it. The clever little
ground squirrel had been standing up
as straight as rod, and just as ami
mated. His front feet are held so
that their color blends perfectly with
his undercoat, his tail trails along
the ground.
There is always an open door the
squirrel knows he can race for, and
when a foe or stranger approaches,
he drops his pose and makes for it.
In a few minutes he appears at the
doorway, bright. black eyes looking
curiously at you. Later he will steal

Jellied Grapefruit

Cut three large grapefruit in halves
and cut out all the pulp, saving the
juice. Take out all the skin from the
hulls. Put two heaping tablespoonfuls
of sugar on the grapefruit, and drain
of all the juice and set the pulp on
ice. Put one box of lemon jello in
one cupful of boiling water, and when
cool add the grapefruit juice. If the
juice and jello water does not make
two cupfuls, add enough water to
make two cupfuls, and pour into a
square cake pan to jelly. Cut this
in squares or blocks. the knife dipped
in hot water, and put this and the
grapefruit pulp in alternate layers
back into the hulls. Serve with may

The Old Gardener Says:

This is a good time to move
the Virginia cowslip (Mertensia
virginiana), because the roots are
practically dormant in August.
This is one of the perennials
which die down after Towering
and the position of which should
be marked with a stake. Plants
or new roots may be obtained
from nurserymen. Gardenmakers
should not understand. however,
that the Virginia cowslip is to be
moved about freely. AS matter
of fact, it resents being disturbed
and established plants should be
shifted from one position to an
other only when such treatment
becomes necessary. There has
been a growing appreciation of
nlertensia in recent years. since
gardenmakers have found that
it is particularly useful in COM
bination with tulips. Besides
Towering very early, it has the
advantage of blooming freely,
even in shady places, such as
under trees.

Smart Afternoon Dress Of Larger / ype

and materials rich in color and in

they must be becoming to the one who
wears them.
The afternoon model shown In to-
days illustration differs greatly from
last years dresses of similar type. In
order to flatter large women, the
bodice is rather loose fitting. The
skirt, starting from the normal waist
line, fits smoothly over the hips and
has a reserve amount of fullness Sc
cluded at the bottom of the front
panel. Great diversity of neckline
treatments Is noticed in most of the
new dresses When the material is
neither thick nor heavy, they have,
as a rule, interesting collars super
imposed on the waist, as in this dress,
where the jabot- is cut in deep

to large figures.

Not only was THE House of

ANOTHER STRIDE FORWARD

We are glad to announce to the general public that
the Tribune Independent which universally recognized
as Mchgan's largest and most progressive Negro Week
Nv, has taken another great stride forward.
After several weeks of negotiation by the manage
ment has been good fortune to bring to organi
cation the entire staff of the former Detroit
World which paper ceased publication with last weeks
issue In addition to taking the circulation and ad-
vertisng business of the World the
will also continue to give publicity the various activities
and organizations the discontinued paper formerly serv
ed
We therefore congratulate ourselves upon this OPP
porunty render thousands of readers and
the public at large still greater service The seasoned
experience and efficiency of original staff and our
splendidy-euuipped publishing plant will be considerably
strengthened and supplemented by the experience ana
treless energy of the fine group of young men and wo
men who have come to from the World.
With our augmented facilities and increased stan
of workers, are determined to make the Tribune-n
dependent the greatest Negro weekly in this entire sec
ton increasing its already large circulation until it shall
cover Detroit and other cities of Michigan like blanket
of sunshine.
