Natures Children
California Ground Squirrel.
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

~ USHY-TAILED ground squir-
x rels resemble quite closely
their large gray cousins of the
- trees. You may tell them
apart very easily by the presence Of
the mottled coat and the fact that
trees do not appeal to them as places
Of shelter or safety.
Generally speaking, these creatures
are more shy than their cousins. They
do not mind dry situations and they
are very clever in darting into their
burrows when aggressive foes appear.
With their spotted coats they do
not attract the attention and It Is
their coloration that enables them to
be as successful as they are.
When you find any member Of the
outdoor clan wearing colors that blend
perfectly with their surroundings you
can be sure that many enemies are
lurking about.
These ground dwellers make little
noise, only a quavering whistle, or
sembles that Of Q bird or insect, Is
used. If you are not familiar with
the voice Of a ground squirrel you
would never Judge what you hear to
belong to it. 1t Is some form Of
signal between them. II one of the
group in a locality is harassed the
others are notified by squeak or
whistle.
They are industrious, but wise
enough to use the labors Of others
when necessary. and that Is why you
vIl ind them occupying tho homes

Pity those who live alone,
Having none to call their own.
Nanny Meadow Mouse.

n YANNY MEADOW MOUSE was
nj alone. Yes, sir, Nanny was
all alone. The five babies she
a had 50 bravely carried to q
new home when the old one was de-
stroyed had now gone out into the
Great World. They were only weeks
old, but Mouse at that age Is old
enough to be taking care Of himself.
So the five children had left home
and Nanny was all alone.
At first it seemed good. Yes, sir, it
seemed very good. It was relief to
be free from family cares. 1t was q
relief to have no one to think about
but herself. But this feeling didn't
last long. Nanny became lonesome.
She began to wonder where Danny
was.
"It's funny" thought Nanny. "that
Danny has never found me. I think
he could have found me If he had
looked hard enough. This place isn't
so far from the old home but that
Danny might have found it If he had
really looked. I didn't want him
around when the children were little.
He would have been a nuisance then.
Still, do think he might have really
tried to find U.s."
Now it just happened that there
were no other Meadow Mice in that
neighborhood. That is, there were no
others aside from the children who
had gone out into the Great World,
and these soon scattered so that 1t
was rarely that Nanny saw any Of
them. So she grew more and more
lonesome. Now and then Peter Rab-
bit happened along that way. Always
Nanny asked II he had seen Danny.
Always Peter said that he hadn't.
Once Carol the Meadow Lark hap
pened to drop down In the grass close
by Nanny. At once she asked Carol
if he had seen Danny.
mot lately" replied Carol. Come
to think of it, it is some time since
I last saw Danny Meadow Mouse, and
If I remember rightly Reddy Fox was
hunting in that neighborhood at the
time"
This was anything but comforting.
Nanny began to worry. What could
have happened to Danny? She had
been so sure that sooner or later
Danny would find her that she had
wasted no time worrying about him.
All her worrying had been for the
children. Now she began to worry
about Danny. Could it be that Red
dy Fox had caught him? Finally
Nanny did something that she didn't
want to do; she started looking for
Danny. Yes, sir, that is just what she
did.
The more she ran about the more
anxious she became You see, she
didn't find any traces Of Danny. Not
once did she get SO much as the
faintest Whit of Danny's familiar

make up his mind how to play the
hand.
One possibility was to throw a spade
from both his own hand and the
dummy and play for a diamond break
and some complicated squeeze in
spades and clubs. However, q little
delberation showed this to be i'm
possible. West had shown up with
four hearts and he would also hold
at least four spades. Therefore. East
would hold the long clubs and dia-
monds, and no squeeze could operate.
Accordingly, declarer decided to play
the hand for what seemed the only
other chance. namely, to find single
ton jack of spades in the East hand.
At the same time, with any other
spade holding he would be down only
one trick. On the fourth heart lead

TAST and West are still COM

and yet they have no reason

pened Is that South played the hand
in the only possible way to make it
and was lucky enough to find the
cards exactly the way he wanted them.

that in the service of these new
dynasties new mercenaries sought

and their properties"
LAS a result" he said, "the average
man once more confronts the prob
lem that faced the Minute Men"
The hours that men and women
work, the wages they received, the
conditions of labor, all, he said, had
passed beyond the control of the peo-
pie into the hands of an industrial
dictatorship. 1t is against such die
tatorship that the New Dealers are
fighting. The farmer has become un-
able any longer to reap the profits of
his harvest. Men in distant cities
dictated the small measure of their
gains"
Political equality, won by the faith
ers, means nothing. the President said,
in the face of economic inequality"

While the "royalists" of the economic
order have conceded that political
freedom was the business of govern
ment, the President added, they have
maintained that economic slavery was
nobody's business sS''-certainly not the
business of the Government.
The New Dealers, he said, stand
committed to the proposition that
freedom is no half -and-half affair"
The President gave his definition of
faith, hope and charity as follows:
"Faith-in the soundness of democ-
racy in the midst of dictatorship.
"Hope-renewed because we know
so well the progress We have made.
"Charity-in the true spirit of that
grand old word. For charity, literally
translated from the original, means
love, the love that understands, that
does not merely share the wealth of
the giver, but in true sympathy and
wisdom helps men to help themselves"

ident's escort was ready to leave the

Col. Startling was met at the sta
ton by a group of officials headed by
Mayor Wilson. After designating to
the officials the manner in which the
President would leave the train and
enter his automobile, fast practice
run was made over the route which
led the President to the speakers
stand in Franklin Field.
The mayor issued a plea to citi-
Zens, delegates and others not to leave
their seats until after the President
and his party had left the field In
addition to lessening the inevitable
traffic jam, this will be "a wonderful
tribute TO the man who is President
of this country" the mayor said.
From the moment of his arrival the
President was under the jealous pro-
lection of more than 700 policemen
and detectives. Every avenue of access
to him was clogged. A squad Of rs men
armed with submachine guns were
stationed at strategic points in the
vicinity of the field. Others were
armed with Army rifles. The entire
police force of 1,100 was on duty and
1000 city firemen were used as aux
iliary Fifteen picked men, known as
the "aces" of the detective force, were
thrown around the space between the
Presidents private car and the auto
mobiles for his party. They were led
by Capt. James Ryan of the Phila-
delphia Detective Bureau. Lieut. Wal
ter Sullivan of the New York detective
force and Lieut.. Michael Cooney of
the Baltimore detectives. More than
100 policemen stood shoulder to shoul-
der facing the crowd that had gath
cred at the station.
G-Men on Duty.
Federal Omen were drawn into
Philadelphia and assigned to stay near
the President during his visit Reed
VetterI, head of the Philadelphia di-
vision, was in charge of this force. He
was assisted by Albert Schroeder and
James Fallon.

ceremony the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt, with the Presidents mother
and other members of their family
and a few special guests continued in
the Presidents special train to spend
the week end at Hyde Park. They
