Now, when you realize that these
swift travellers of the trees are re-
sponsible for the planting of most OF
our wonderful hickory trees, as well
as the walnuts and butternuts, you
will realize we have not been treating
them very kindly. We do not want
to give all the credit to the gray
squirrel, for you must remember that
the bluejay and the chipmunk are
tree planters, too. However, COM

grays, 1t is a small amount.

edly. "Just see that! He couldn't
have done it better if had shown
exactly what I wanted done. Now
all we have to do Is to make a hole
right here into that tunnel and we
can drop from our home right into it"
They waited only long enough to
make sure that Miner was continuing
on his way and was not likely to
come back at once. Then they made
the little opening into the tunnel, ran
back along it to where Miner had
pushed out some earth making lit
tie mound. They made an opening
in the middle of this and were out
in the cornfield
That night it was cold and the
ground froze. 1t was colder still the
next day and the ground froze deeper.
This was repeated for several days in
succession. Miner the Mole no longer
used that tunnel. He was digging
deeper now, down where it wasn't
frozen and wouldn't freeze, for it
was down there that the worms had
gone. the worms on which he lives.
Then came snow, a blanket of

cornfield and it covered the Green
Meadows. 1t covered the old coat in
the fence corner and, of course, the
old coat covered the jug lying on its
side, the jug in which Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse had their snug
home.
And now, at last, Nanny was salts
fed. There was nothing to lead any
one to suspect that there was a home
of any kind in that fence corner.
Best of all. they could leave it and
return to it without making any tell
tale tracks. They simply used Miners
tunnel and when they came to the
surface from this it was SO far from
their home that no one would think
to look over in that fence corner for it.
Tracks they made in the snow
around that hole out of which they
had come and into which they would
go when they went home, but this
they worried about not at all. Who
ever noticed those tracks would think
that this was the entrance to a
Mouse home and wouldn't 60 looking
elsewhere for it. Furthermore, if an
enemy should chase them into the hole
they could run either way along
Miners tunnel. Never in all their
lives had they felt safer. Do you
wonder they were satisfied?

seems necessary for resistance to tox-
ins of infectious character. 1t is sup
posed to have what is called a phago-
cytic action, or the property Of de-
stroying invading cells or their toxins.
In leukemia the rate of manufac-
ture Of these leucocytes is increased,
presumably in response to an unusual
increase in intoxication. At any rate,
this rate Of increase is tremendously
speeded up, till the white cells may
number many thousands above the
usual toxic limits, and these have
passed the million mark in many
cases Of far-gone disease.
If the condition of leukemia is nor
mally protective effort of the body,
an effort that has run wild, then 1t
should be durable by the methods of
detoxication and dietary correction,
and so it is, If not too far gone.
However, If the leucocyte count is
many hundred thousand the condition
OF resistance is so greatly lowered that
little time remains for such correc-
ton as would restore the leucocyte
function to normal

what has happened.
Besides having their home and food
taken from them, man also found
squirrel meat was very good, and his
little gray coat made handsome fur
garments. No family can be slaugh-
tered, as this outdoor brother of ours
was, and not have the ranks greatly
thinned.
Today we have gone into planting
trees on a large scale. but we will
have to wait many years for them.

1t is no doubt often too late when

if two years of life remain, 1t should
be long enough to produce results that

stain over their lips and front feet

The boarding habit is responsible
for our many wonderful nut trees.
Gray squirrels do not store nuts in
bins or cache them in great numbers,
as the chipmunks do. They place
each nut in a separate hole. 1t Is
well planted and covered.
Acorns will take care of themselves.
Give them blanket of leaves or dirt,
and they stick out wee foot that
soon reaches down and becomes
tap root. Not so the walnut, butter
nut or hickory nut. They dry If left
out in the air before their shells break
So you can see why the squirrels have
been so valuable. 1t is said that the
squirrels planted the extra nuts for
their descendants. Their sense of
smell is so acute, the nuts were not
hidden from them, and their memory
is too good to have forgotten them.
In this family are found the lovely,
glossy. black fellows, and the albinos,
too. In Canada, there are many of
them, and it seems they are found in
the northern woods and not In the
south.
The love song is first broadcast by
the squirrel maidens. 1t has far
reaching possibilities. The suitors
answer and appear at their doors.
Fierce battles are fought, and the
"chattering of teeth"-the battle cry
of angry squirrels-is not mistaken
for any other woodland sound.
Six weeks after the wedding, three
to five ugly little babies are to be
found in the nice. clean nursery.
Only a mother could see charm and
promise of. beauty in the little blind,
naked. helpless infants. She cuddles,
nurses and loves them; all a baby
needs; and in six weeks the lovely,
bushy-tailed youngsters are out on
the limb of the tree, in front of their
nursery door, scared to death at the
big world they view for the first time

My Neighbor Says:
BY FANNY Y. CORY.

Each little opening in gas
burners should burn steady
blue flame. Have just enough
flame to keep liquids at boiling
point. Boiling liquids are no
hotter when boiling rapidly than
when boiling slowly.
Hanging sofa pillows in good
current of air removes loose dust
and helps to fluff up the feathers
and to sweeten them.
Never scrub linoleum with a
stiff brush. as this tends to dull
the surface. The linoleum may
be kept clean by washing with a
good mild soap and water.
Christmas plants will keep
much longer if given a little ex-
ira care. Poinsettias need a warm
room and cyclamens must be
kept where it is cool.

trimmed with tiny rhinestone leaves.
For those who prefer pins to clips,
a very attractive gift would be the
evening pin sketched. which is silver
and rhinestones and Is made in the
graceful shape of a feather Or may
we suggest that a piece of evening
jewelry which young girl would par
ticularly cherish would be a silver
ring with a manufactured crystal
stone, set on either side by tiny rhine
stones. The large center stone comes
in a variety of shapes, one of which
is sketched.
In tearing ourselves away from the
fascinating evening jewelry counter,
we saw some smart gold daytime
pieces which would brighten up any
dark costume wonderfully. Wide gold
bracelets in a variety of designs are
very good. as are the gold earrings
that go with them. One pair of these
earrings that were so fetching that we
paused to sketch them, had two gold
circles of different sizes at the ear,
from which hung five long gold chains
on the ends of which dangled five
more g0lQ circles OF varying SIZES.
Musing over the fun of receiv-
ing gifts little less practical and
a little more attractive than one
ever buys for oneself, we paused
for glimpse of the evening purses
and decided that they were the
perfect example Of what we had
in mind. For instance, that lit
tie black velvet bag with the gold
and rhinestone top. Who would
dream of buying it for herself, yet
who would not squeal with delight
upon unwrapping it Christmas
morning? Or we imagine that
even the most sophisticated of re-
ceivers would break down and
smile ecstatically when the little
gold brocade bag with the new
box bottom first came to light
from among folds of tissue paper.

array of presents is much larger and
more varied than usual, and that it is
far from a difficult matter to find very
suitable and lovely gifts for every
one.
Perhaps one of the incest laSt-min-
ute gifts for the young college girl
who is a connoisseur of the latest
fashions would be a metal mesh belt
like the one sketched. This particular
one comes in either gold or silver,
twists like a snake in the center of
the front and fastens on either side
with a gold ball Other belts come in
a variety of designs, some very dressy,
others quite tailored. One which We
admired especially was a variation Of
the popular monks cord in metal-a
twisted rope of fine gold threads fin
ished off by a long mesh tassel.
If the recipient of your gift is
young matrOn with taste for
pearls (and what maid or matron
has not?) the latest creations in
pearls will entrance her. They
are named after the beautiful bride
of the Duke of Kent, who wears
similar ones herself. The neck
lace sketched is of rather large
graduated pearls, comes in single
or double strands and fastens with
a clasp of a large pearl surrounded
by rhinestones. The bracelet (also
sketched) is fashioned of three
strands of pearls that match the
necklace and is finished with a
similar clasp. Reconing button
earrings made of large pearl sur
rounded by small rhinestones, and
elaborate pearl and rhinestone
clips complete the stunning set.
WHILE on the subject of the ever
w popular clips, we saw set of
two especially lovely ones which we
wanted to sketch for you. They are

erlike design of pearls in the center

EASTMAN OUT
 FOR COMEBACK
Big Ben Has Eyes Already Set on Berlin Olym-
 pics m l936

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal, March 6.-Big Ben Eastman, hold- CT of the worlds records in the 440 and 880 yard runs,. has his eyes set on the Berlin Olympics in 1886 and hopes to qualify as a contender for the 800 meter title
 Eastman is enrolled as a student at the Stanford School of Business and is training under the colors of the San Francisco Olympic club
 After rising to the heights as a middle distance man, the gang ling, blond trackman sustained a leg injury. He was beaten by Carr of Pennsylvania in the ICAAA at Berkeley and again in the Olympic try y-outs in 1892. He practically dropped out of competition last year, hoping that rest would effect cure of his injury.
 Although working out three or four times weekly, Eastman has not put his weakened limb to a severe test as yet. is Olympic comeback attempt is predicted up- on his ability to develop the need ed strength for half-mile competi- tion. He virtually has decided not to attempt a comeback in the quarter.
