 :. Basic Betterment
 Stressing the importance of Girl Scout training as a basic bettermen of the youth of today, Rabbi Will liam P. Greenfield, of Beth-El Syna- < sogue, appealed to the volunteers to make intensive effort to over-sub- scribe the minimum goal.
 'srhe sum you seek is ridiculously small for a community such as Wa terbury to subscribe for such vital endeavor as training of our girls to become good citizens" he re- marked. Certainly it is a Small price to pay for intoxicating the habits of right living, teaching con- structive thinking and helping to health as the Girl Scout movement provides. When 1t Is recalled that every year sees vast sums expended on idle things by the public, 1t would seem that all who have thought for the futures betterment must re- spond generously to the Girl Scout Appeal"

olive gray, the dark cross bands are
outlined in dull yellow or greenish
lines that are narrow. The snout Is
pointed like javelin, the darting
tongue black, the eyes glitter as the
snake travels over the ground seeking
food.
The Fer-de-lance is a prowler Of the
night. During the day 1t slumbers in
some cool, hollow tree. Perhaps it
has many strange companions, all
drugged with sleep and attending to
their own affairs. In the home range
of this snake, 1t is likely to have the
large bat, several scorpions, and such
lively creatures occupying the same
apartment. These are not friends or
foes, merely creatures who have sought
the same dwelling house. and that is
all they care about each other.
No one knows which of the dodgers
awakens first; or for that matter,
which one leaves for his hunting
places. The luminous beetles flash
their lights back and forth, as If to
afford them light. But the Fer-de-
lance has ever open eyes that see per-
fectly in the dark, and because it has
no lids to curtain them, he must sleep
with his eyes wide open.

Bedtime Stories
Reddy Comes Home in Triumph

So as he went about his hunting
for Mice and young chucks and any
thing else he could catch. Reddy kept
thinking about that Goose family
over on that distant farm. At last.
when he thought those goslings would
be big enough to make one Of them
worth getting, he slipped away very
early one morning. In fact, 1t, wasn't
really morning. The Black Shadows
had not yet started to return to the
Purple Hills.
Reddy said nothing about where he
was going to Mrs. Reddy. He made
straight for that little pond on the
distant farm. He got there just be-
fore daylight and soon was well hid
den in the tall grass close to the
edge of that little pond.
He got there just in time. He had
been there only few minutes when
it became light enough for him to
see. And what he saw made him
catch his breath. Swimming along
on the outer edge of the bed of rushes
were the Goose and Gander who had
given Mrs. Reddy and himself such
a beating, and with them were a
family of half-grown young Geese
Reddy counted them. There were
eight.
"One for each Of the children. if
only there were some way of getting
all of them" sighed Reddy.
At home in the Old Pasture Mrs.
Reddy began to wonder where Reddy
was. 1t was broad daylight, and he
hadn't returned. She began to Won
der If he was in trouble of some sort.
She didn't know where he had gone.
She was fearful that he might have
visited some henyard and there gotten
into trouble. Always there was pos
Sibility of serious trouble around a
henyard Her own hunting the night
before had not been too good. She
had had no breakfast herself, because
! she had given all she had caught to
the eight young Foxes who now were
playing around the doorstep and COM
ing now and then to see If she might
not have bit more food for them.
You'll have to be patient" said
she. You'll have to be patient until
your father gets home. I'm sure he'll
bring you something"
why doesn't he Gomez" asked one
of the young Foxes.
His mother pretended not to hear
You see, she was wondering herself

why he didn't come. She got up un-
easily; she couldn't lie still. Then
suddenly from out of the bushes
stepped Reddy himself, and such a
look of pride and triumph as there
was on his face, for slung over his
shoulder was half-grown young
Goose. Mrs. Reddy didn't have to ask
any questions. She knew just where
that young Goose had been caught.
You feel a lot better now, don't
YOU, my dear?" said she, and grinned.

forget it. In spite of himself, he kept
thinking of that nest over in the
rushes at the end of little pond on
q distant farm.
Il have an idea" said Reddy to
himself, that those eggs in the nest
with that Goose must have been
pretty nearly ready to hatch when we
we're over there. There must be gos-
lings now. Yes, sir. there must be
goslings. What We should have done,
instead of trying to get one of those
Geese, was to have waited until there
were goslingS. Had We done that,
We certainly could have caught one
or more of them. OF course, they
wouldn't have amounted to much
when first Matched, but one half
grown would be a feast for those

Secretary Perkins reported yester-
day that the United States Employ
ment Service found jobs for 128,353
workers in private industry last
month, a gain Of 235 per cent over
August, 1885.
At the same time, she said, new
Jobs in public employment-such as
heavy public works-dropped 7.3 per
cent from July to August; and place.
ments on relief employment increased,
amounting to 62,632 for the latter
month.
Reporting q moderate increase in
the volume Of applications for work,
the Labor Secretary said this was
greatest in South Dakota, North Da-
kota, Nebraska and Iowa, due to the
drought.
The total number Of persons placed
in jobe-433,588-was 10.7 per cent
above the July total.
THE increase In August over the
July volume Is In contrast to the
movement In the two previous years,
Miss Perkins said.
