Natures Children
Florida Wildcat.

I will warn you not to be too
startled when you hear for the first
time his soulful love song. That first
strain, sent forth on the quiet night
air, is blood-curdling.
1t is claimed that Bob takes unto
himself one wife and is known later
to assist in the rearing of the charm
ing, though spiteful little wildcats.
The nursery is in a hollow tree,
the door 20 or 80 feet above the
ground. Bob is told by his spouse
to make himself scarce while the
babies are very young. Later, it is
supposed, he is welcomed back.
Mother brings her beautiful in
fants out of the nursery cat fashion,
by the scruff of their necks They are
placed in the sun on a grassy spot
and taught to spring after every NOV
ing object. When you appear on
the scene you are greeted with hiss
and are spit at. The mother springs
forward, her hair on end the entire
ridge of her back, and up the tree she
goes. Junior, or sister, is placed on
the tree branch most convenient to
the nursery door, while mother re-
turns for the others. The rescued one
is so full of curiosity concerning the
doings on the ground that he almost
tumbles from his station.
Lovable though they seem to be,
they are total loss as pets. Tam
ing them seems a hopeless task, so
leave them alone, and visit their
hsunts whenever you can.

TRADITION gives a fabulous origin
Of this surname. The story goes
that a nephew of one of the old Earls
of Lennox. having in quarrel killed
his uncle'S cook, was forced to fee the
country. After many years he re-
turned to Scotland and built castle
upon an island above Inversmaid, in
the Highlands. where he and the
island after him received the name
of Far Land. Consequently McFar-
land was the son of him who had come
from the Far Land.
Whether or not. there Is any truth
in this legend. no one knows, but the
fact remains that the Scottish Mac
F'arlands descended from the Earls Of
Lennox Malcolm. MacFarlane. one
Of the first mentioned of the name.
was a descendant of Alwyn, Earl of
Lennox, founder of the clan Mac
Farlane. who lived about 1874 in the
reign of Malcolm ", King of Scot
land.

Changed the color of my suit. He
didn't change the suit itself, but Just
changed the color of it," explained
Stickytoes.
do you mean to say that jolly,
round, bright Mr. Sun can change the
color of your suit without you having
to do anything about it?" demanded
Old Mr.. Toad.
Just so" replied Stickytoes. "Just
So"
Il didn't see him when he did it,"
said Old Mr.. Toad. Il was sitting

it is almost dark and sit there a

believe him.
How can you sit there and tell
me that you haven't changed your suit
when you came here with suit of one
color and pattern and now you are
wearing smother entirely different?"
demanded Old Mr.. Toad sharply.
Suddenly Stickytoes began to
chuckle. Old Mr.. Toad looked at him
suspiciouSly. Stickytoes continued to
chuckle. Old Mr.. Toad became still
more angry. He thought he was be-

This Weeks Problem.

MEN have always been interested
Az in puzzles and problems. That
this is not purely human attribute,
however, is evinced by recent expert
mentation with anthropoid apes.
Given lengths of sticks that fitted
together, an intelligent chimpanzee
managed to join them in order to
reach a banana that had been tied
to the Ioof of its cage The same
simian also piled boxes Oh top of each
other and scrambled up to the top
Of the pyramid, with Succulent COCO
nut as the object of its endeavor.
Whereas the animal wants a tangi-
BILE reward for its mental concentra-
ton, the perplexe6 genus homo spends
hours on a puzzle merely for the joy
of solving it. 1t takes logical mind
to solve problems quickly, and the
same kind of mental probing that is
brought to bear on any odd, inexpli-
cable fact, such as scientists, invent
ors and detectives encounter daily
Robert Fulton wondered about the
kettle sitting on the stove. The result
was Jne steam engine.
We bridge and chess experts cannot
claim that any such benefit to man
kind will result from working out our
problems. Game puzzles are merely
mental exercises. usually without even
the prospect of prize to reward the
struggling would-be solver. But if you
are victim of the same sort of
mental quirks as I you will enjoy

lngs,o the National Association for
the Advancement Of CoIored People
this week sent out instructions to all
its branches to be on the alert. The
associations letter, signed by Walter
White, secretary, cited the increase
Of l%ynchings last year after Congress
adjourned without taking action up
cE the Costigan-Wagner federal
anti-lynching bill.
'"The national office urges all it's
branches to be on the lookout for
signs Of threatened lynching." the
letter states SHOULD there be talk
Of q lynching in your community,
communicate Immediately with the
governor and other law enforcement
officers, including the sheriff, mayor
and chief Of police, calling upon them
to provide every necessary safeguard
to protect the prisoner from lynch
ing. Give publicity to your efforts
and keep the national office advised
Of eli details.
I'm many instances egorts will be
made to allege that persons lvnched
were killed by posses" Oh other
quasi-legal groups, in order that kill
ings may not be listed as ~lynchings.
Investigate every case Of this sort
and advise the national office Of your
findings. 3
when lynchings occur, investigate
as far as possible all details, utiliz-
ing whenever possible friendly white
people to get information not othtr-
wise obtainable. When rape or other
sex crimes are alleged, investigate
very carefully, as there are indica-
tons that sex crimes will be increas-
ingly given as causes of lynching in
ordert to lessen criticism.
BE on the alert and be especially
careful to authenticate every detail as
far as possible. Do not act on idle
rumor. but check every fact"
