Of saliva, and long, efncient tongues.
When they are not In use the tongues
of ant bears, chief among South Amer
lean snteaters, are tucked neatly into
O roll in their mouths. For the pur-
poses Of their diet of ants and ter
mites these long SHOUTS and sticky
tongues are admirably practical. So,
for that matter, are the stocky legs
and stout claws with which the ant
hills are torn open, SO that the long
tongue may worm itself into the heart
of the ant colony.
Relatives of the Sloth, ant bears are
too lazy to fight unless necessary, but
when they are cornered and annoyed
they have an unpleasant hug, and the
scratch of their powerful claws is to be
respected. Ordinarily, the ant bear
keeps his claws doubled under his
feet, but when he fights he Yields
them very effectively.
The ant bear is the largest Of the
anteaters. He grows to the height Of
about 2 feet and a length of 4. His
tail Is long and shaggy, and when he
sleeps the ant bear spreads it over his
body like an umbrella against sun
and rain. He lives on the ground, but
does not burrow, and his kind is COM
paratively scarce, because he produces
only one young ant bear at time.
Other creatures, unrelated to the
anteaters of South America, have
somewhat similar habits. The aard-
vark of Africa and the spiny anteater
of Australia eat ants, but they are not
true anteaters. Members Of the PAN
COLIN family are also addicted to an
appetite for ants, but they are unre-
lated to the anteaters.

Caring for Pets

OOtSte, One-l asked 4 NfReys
nAVE GARRISON was in the ONCE
just after I wrote this title. 1t
caught his eye. He read it and said.
Jimmy, viii you let me stay here
and read that story as you write ftp"
But had to drive hum away ar.i
now, III bet you. he's Just tearinN
over this page with every one Of his
two eyes alight.
It is peach Of a title. 1t has
ALTERATION and-oh, 10 some Of you
don't know what ALTERATION is? Well,
gang, ask your teacher. The title is
interesting. fort has exciting words.
''Tusks" nearly always makes you
open your eyes. Then you wonder
how turkey could have a tusk when
a turkey is bird and birds don't
have teeth.
Well, t just seemed to me that
we might as well call birds beak a
tusk. Anyhow, it is used q great
deal as a tuSk Is by a dog, q cat
or a fox. AS for us of the human
race, our eyeteeth are our tusks.
Tootsie happens TO be the only
turkey we have been able to raise
on our place for over 20 years. Long
ago tried every Spring tc bring some
Of these birds to maturity. Every year
something happened. Once the hired
girl put out a big dishpan full of
sour milk and the little turkeys
drowned In 1t. Another time q cat
caught them all. And so forth.
Last year we bought eight White
Holland turkey Matching eggs. Three

each wire arm, bend an eye. To these
eyes tie long threads and attach your
model planes 10 the ends Of the
threads. Be sure this arm balances
evenly when the planes are attached.
Now turn on the Juice" Your toy
motor will revolve the wire arms and
the model planes, dangling at the end
Of the threads, will be pulled around
and around In a circle. AS the motor
increases in speed, the planes will soar
through the air in a realistic manner.
If toy motors are difflcult TO secure,
try an old alarm clock for q power
plant. Pull out the hair spring wheel
and you will find that when the clock
is wound tightly, the center shaft of
the clock, not held in check by the
hair spring, revolves at fast speed for
several minutes. Connect your planes
to the clock motor in the same manner
as explained for toy electric motors.

Toy electric motors, run by one or
two dry cell batteries can now be

of the arms with thread. This frame
consists of a base board and one up

upright, high enough on the side so
the dry cell batteries can be placed
underneath it.

Of the toy motor with small wooden
blocks or spools, bored with holes in
which to place the wire. These arms
should be of lightweight wire, and

Easter Island Has
Odd Stone Images

FOR centuries explorers who have
touched the shores Of Easter
Island have stood in bewildered ave
before the huge stone images Of
hideous men which stand, remnants
Of a mysterious people, not far from
the Pacific coast Of the island.
The images are roughly chiseled
from lava quarried on the island,
which lies several thousand miles off
the west coast of South America. Some
Of the faces with their large noses
and long pointed chins are still part
Of the rock in the quarry-left there
for some reason at which we can
only guess.
OF the people who made them
we know very little. They can
scarcely be called artists, for the
images are poorly made and show
only childish skill, with great heads
out Of all proportion to those We
are now familiar with. .-
But these people had a strane
culture Of their own, for in t'R
small stone houses scattered ovP
the little island are symbols viii b

The symbols have not been deciphereI
but they indicate an ancient cultul

Another question which bafas
modern students Of the problem i
how the immense and heavy images
were carried from the inland quarriei
to their present location on vaulted
foundations near the shore.

do with her, whether TO spend the
money for white gobbler, or to let
this bird stay a while on farm
where there was a gobbler, or to let
her roam while we bought more eggs
from another breeder and tried to
raise her a mate.
Well, Tootsie roamed the place I'M

with poison. Then VIC locked her
up in a room connected with the
pigeon loft. But she whacked at the

feathers, killed them. and picked them
up in her big "tusk' tc slam them

picked one hen clean of feathers,
and licked the rooster. So we put

Poison Too Strong.
INVESTIGATIONS Of the past thry

INVESTIGATIONS Of the past three
years have shown that in some
sections OF the cotton belt in the
South the poison used to kill boil
weevils was much stronger than nee
eSSary and therefore much more
costly than the needs required.
A mixture of half calcium arsenate
and half lime has been found to be
fully as efficient in removing the
weevilS, and this mixture will be
urged in the future along the Atlantic
