Bedtime Stories
Curiosity Is Satisfied.

| had 80 startled Mrs. Tinn1y, made
no reply. He was darting around the
corner Of that little house after Mrs.
Timmy. Mrs. Cresty came out and
she, too, joined in the attack. Mrs.
Timmy was having a lively time. AS
long as there was but one to dodge 1t
was not so difficult, but with two Mrs.
Timmy soon found that she was in
real trouble. Around and around the
tree she lodged, with those two Shrek
ing birds darting at her from first
this direction and then that, until it
seemed to her that there must be o
dozen birds.
Now you know, the Crested Fly
catchers belong to the same family
as Scrapper the Kingbird, and there
Is no more doughty or fearless fighter
than Scrapper the Kingbird. 1t is
much the same way with Cresty. He
hasn't q cowardly feather on him.
Neither has Mrs. Cresty, for that mat
ter, and they look SO much alike that
it is difficult to tell them apart.
Little by little Mrs. Timmy man
aged to get up the tree until she was
high enough to make one Of her IA
nous glides. She watched her chance,
and then made a flying leap and
sailed down to the foot Of another
tree. 1t took both birds by surprise.
They we're after her in an instant, but
she had such start that she was
already half way up the tree before
he thing
happened. So little by little Mrs.
Timmy got away from the Flycatchers
and they gave up pursuit.
Mrs. Timmy drew a long breath.
Her curiosity was satisfied in part, at
least. She knew who was living In
that house. My land!" exclaimed
Mrs. Timmy Those Flycatchers GER
tainly are the boldest things. And
such tempers! My, my, such tempers!
I'm glad they didn't get chance to
try those sharp beaks of theirs on
me- Yes. sir, I certainly am glad Of
that. And to think that old house of
mine is occupied. Well, they are well
come to it. I wish, however, they
would tell me why they used that piece
of Snake skin in their nest. I can't
imagine any one wanting such thing
as that around the house 1t makes
me crawl just to think Of it,"
Meanwhile Cresty and Mrs. Cresty
had returned to their home. They
were still much excited. Mrs. Cresty
went back into the house to sit on
the eggs that were there, while Cresty

Federation's secretary. During the
past two years membership has in
creased nearly 70 percent over the
state as whole, and four new coun-

Fifty group meetings were held, and were participated

According to the Dai1ymens League News questions
discussed included the federal soil conservation program
foreign trade policies transportation problems marketing

But perhaps it may not matter very
much who found the Western half of

Give 1t a Hearing!

In an interview printed in The Sunday
Star, Justin Miller, special assistant to
the Attorney General and a recognized
authority on juvenile court legislation,
points out with reference to the juvenile
court bill that practically the same meas
ure has been law in about thirty States
and has been found successful. That
should quiet the fears Of few who have
apparently been inclined to regard the
bill as conferring despotic power on q
juvenile court judge. The same effect
should result from the corporation coun-
sells favorable report to the Commission
ers on the bill after his careful study.
accompanied by few relatively unim-
portant and unopposed amendments.
The principle Of the bill, which might
be stated as aimed at making of the
Juvenile Court a tribunal for the dis
posal of cases affecting children instead
of police court with special jurisdiction
over minors, q court more interested in
correction and reform than in punish
ment Of offenders, has been urged for
many years by competent and qualified
students of the problem of juvenile
delinquency. It is true that the laws
provision could conceivably be abused
by . conscienceless Judge. But the same
