sugar season is over. Then I'll take
care of them"
"Ycur heart is in the right place,
son, but we've got to think OF some
other plan," replied his mother.
"Wait q minues. I've Just thought of
something. When Mrs. Smith was
talking with me on the phone this
morning she just happened to men
ton that her Cat Is nursing two kit
tens. You know, Cats are great moth
ers. Perhaps she would mother these
baby Squirrels with her kittens. Why
don't you take them over there and
see?"
"Give those helpless little Squirrels
to a Cat?" exclaimed Farmer Browns
Boy.
mo-" replied Mother Brown. "Give
them to a mother"
So at last Farmer Browns Boy was
persuaded to try the experiment. He
took the three baby Squirrels over
to the neighbors. With fear and
trembling he placed one Of the little
Squirrels beside the kittens. He was
ready to snatch it away should the
mother Cat attempt to harm it. In
stead she began to lick 1t gently. One
by one the others were placed with
her and in a few minutes Mother Cat
was nursing the three baby Squirrels
and her two kittens and pur-ing
proudly and contentedly. Her mother
love was great enough to take care
of other helpless babies as well as
her own.
So Farmer Browns Boy left them
with their foster mother and hurried
home to tell his own mother that she
had been quite right.
"I knew it." was all she said.

study period, they gallop away, and
II the matter warrants it, they return
to resume investigations.
Most Of the dwellers of the plains
are endowed with excellent vision.
The caribou is an exception. His
sight Is poor, but he Is blessed with
q keen sense Of hearing and sturdy
legs that soon take him out Of the
danger zone.
The travelling gait of the caribou
may not be graceful, but 1t is swift.
He Is an excellent swimmer-his
large feet make good paddles, and
the hair coat is a fine life preserver,
as each hair Is surrounded by air
buoying the great fellow up.
The home land is in the lonely,
desolate wastes to be found In the
barren grounds of the Alaskan PENN
sula. It Is known as the barren
ground caribou. This member Is
smaller than his cousin from Arctic
America or Greenland or his wood
land cousins who range from Canada
W N4d44C d440 VA uA4C oOut&AC4A oA1O1Oc
Of Hudson Bay. However, the family
traits are very similar, the differences
about the same to be found among
cousins In any family.
This fellow Is the only deer to be
found in his home grounds. His
antlers are much longer than those
Of his woodland cousin, and they do
not have so many points. They are
referred to as armchair" antlers.
Both male and female have horns,
which they shed each year.
In Winter, the males 60 into the
deep forests. The females and younger
generation keep toward the outer edges
Of the woods. BY April, the caribou
are seen short distances from the
woods, and by May the mothers have
begun their trek to the seacoast. Their
husbands arrive a month later.
The trip is made over snow-covered
wastes and on ice that still covers
the rivers and lakes. Soon after the
mothers arrive at their Summer home,
they give birth to their twins.

them home, anyway"
OF course, the story was told. He
explained how the nest with the
babies in it had been found in the
firebox of the evaporator at the sugar
camp and how, of course, it had to
be taken out OF there.
Then why didn't you leave it
somewhere in the sugar house, where
the mother could take care of her
babies?" demanded Mother Brown.
THAT is just what we did do until
today" replied Farmer Browns Boy.

"Was he in the house?" asked his
mother.

which pledges paid Large numbers of gifts of
course expensive to collect than a small number,
and 1882 contributors in compare
with for 1890 and 1855 for 1884 Over
half these contributors had to be billed for monthly

it is of supreme importance in community enterprise
which appeals to all citizens and which directly
indirectly, benefits every one, that it shall enjoy the

indirect interest because of the quasi
Federal nature Of the establishment
and the fact that local violators Of
Federal laws are detained there.
The published reports prompted
aides Of Attorney General Cummings
to make inquiries as to the accuracy
Of the newspaper accounts. The At
torney General was advised, that the
conditions had not been exaggerated.
When Elwood Street. director of the
Board of Public Welfare, learned,
through unofiicial channels, of the
sympathetic interest of the Attorney
General In the local Jail problem,
Chairman Frederick w. McReynolds
telephoned an invitation to Cummings
to make a first-hand survey of con-
ditions. The cabinet officer accepted
readily.
District officials are hopeful that,
as a result Of his visit to the jail,
Cummings will throw the powerful
support of the Department of Justice
behind the movement to ameliorate
conditions.
Immediate remedial measures which
might be sought include erection of
an annex and construction of q
fenced yard in which prisoners may
exercise. The long-view program
would call for completely new plant
in less thickly populated section,
as at Blue Plains. Lack of funds has
prevented either of these plans from
being carried out to date
AS it is now, prisoners often are
forced to sleep on thin straw mat
tresses on the concrete floor. Their
only means Of exercise is a stroll in
the dark corridors of their cell block.
They must eat in a room within sight
Of the electric chair. Facilities of the
jail inflrmary are grossly inadequate
These factors combine to menace
the health and morale of all pris-
oners. Superintendent Rives has en-
phasized.
The visit Of Attorney General
Cummings to the Jail will follow by a
few days an inspection by the Police
Court judges of crowded conditions
at the Occoquan workhouse. Conges-
tion at the workhouse has a direct
bearing on Jail overcrowding, as the
workhouse has been unable to relieve
the Jail promptly of prisoners sched-
uled to serve their sentences at the
Occoquan institution.
