~ DON it will be the social season
for Natures children and their
admirers. There is always so
~ much to see and so short a
time to get around, that you have to
make a list in order to visit some of
those you are most interested in.
A turtle, especially a pond turtle,
always seems to lead a double life.
He Is able to sun himself on fine
fat stone or partly submerged log.
He goes hunting among the lily pads
or such likely places. Little he cares
for dignity. and he tumbles of his
summing platform with the ease of
an acrobat, II too much publicity is
turned upon him.
You cannot mistake this old timer
His round. yellow spots on the black
shell identify him to you. Besides,
he Is black headed, and even has
large. yellow or deep orange freckles
or dots on his head, with very
bright one where you would naturally
look for his ear.
The range is from Maine to North
ern North Carolina and westward to
Indiana. That gives you good idea
of how ambitious this numerous fam
lily is.
To the spotted turtle, all one could
ask of his sojourn on this plane is
found in water sports and contented
existence in small streams, ponds or
marshes. There are always an abun-
dance of food and places for taking a
sun bath-ideal conditions under
which to bring up turtle family.
You will find an invitation to live
In your pet stream or pond will be
accepted if you offer congenial sur
roundings, such as water grass, under
which to hide, plenty of young in
sects and minnows, and water deep
enough to submerge the head in order
to swallow them.

How 1t Started
Aborigines.

To-day. aborigines may hail from
every quarter Of the globe.
Bushman, Eskimo, Mongolian, Hot
tentot-all are aborigines.
They may be aborigines of Australia
the Arctic, Siberia or Africa, as the
case may be, the reference being SIM
ply to the earliest inhabitants or ma
tive races of any particular country,
This application is comparatively
modern.
Originally. the term, which is from
the identical Latin meaning from
the beginning" was used especially in
connection with the earliest inhab-
itants of Italy.

A VERY quiet couple while at

a and Mrs. Blacky. Yes, in
4 "A deed, very quiet couple were
they. You see. their very near neigh
bors were Redtail the Hawk and Mrs.
Redtail, and the two Crows wanted no
trouble with those Hawks. So they
were on their good behavior, as the
saying is.
RedtaI and Mrs. Redtail had finally
finished their new nest. 1t was very

then that is the way with some mem

bers of the Hawk family. They build
a nest not too big to start with and
then each year they add to it. The
Redtails intended to add to this nest
the following Spring. BY the time
Mrs. Redtail had that nest as big as
the nest of Blacky the Grow she felt
It would do. You remember that it
was built high up in tall pine tree.
It had been so placed that it was
partly concealed by the punches of
pine needles surrounding it. 1t had
been lined with grasses and dead
leaves and moss. Then Mrs. Redtail
had laid three eggs and at once begun
sitting. From that time on that was
a very quiet neighborhood. Nowhere
in the Green Forest was there duieter
neighborhood.
OF course the doings of such big
people as the Hawks are usually pretty
we'll known to their neighbors. So it
wasn't long before most people of the
Green Forest knew just where Redtail
and Mrs. Redtail were living. This
was one reason that that was such a

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February s.-Radio

The location of the Hopecrag was
given as latitude 1919 north, longi-
tude 42.40 west.

PROGRESS IS SEEN
ON LEAVE BILLS
Committee Seeking to Bring
Measures Before Sen
ate Soon.

Definite developments are due this
week In the movement in the Senate
Civil Service Committee to work out
changes in the Government employe
leave bills that would BRING the
measures before the Senate for con-
sideration. :
Senator McKellar, Democrat, OF
Tennessee, who has objected to the
bills in their present form since last
session, began several days ago draft
ing amendments and Chairman Bulow
of the Civil Service COMMITTEES has
indicated he will call a meeting with
in a few days to go over the modifi-
cations Senator McKellar has not
made the proposaed amendments
public.
Reports at the Capitol. however, are
TO the effect that in the annual leave
bill the proposed basis Of compromise
is to provide for fiat 80 days, count
ing Sundays and holidays within a
vacation period. AS passed by the
House the bill restores annual leave
to 80 days, exclusive of Sundays and
holidays. Thirty days of annual
leave were allowed for years before
the economy program reduced it to
IS days.
It also has been reported the amend
ments would reduce the limit on ac-
cumulation of unused leave to go days,
instead of 100 days. just what changes
are being considered in the sick-leave
bill have not become known. That
bill would reduce sick leave from 80
to is days, with the 120-day limit on
accumulation of unused leave.
The House bills have come up in
the Senate q number of times since
last Summer, but always on the call
of the unanimous consent calendar,
when one objection is sufficient to OBJ
tain postponement.
After the Civil Service Committee
met last week to consider the posi-
bility of working out some compro-
mise, Senator McKellar indicated he
was hopeful an agreement would be
reached. If differences are adjusted
in committee, the bills probably would
be taken up in the Senate without
delay. Any changes made by the Sem
ate would then 90 back to the House
for action.

 Among the powerful monied in- terests" he named William Ran dolph Hearst, the du Fonts, and J. P. Morgan.

LUX CLOCK co.
 PAYS DIVIDEND
Directors Voted 100 Per Cent Stock Dividend to
 Take Effect Today

The Lux Clock company. at a meeting of its directors has declared a 100 per cent stock dividend, effec- tive today. Herman Lux, secretary of the concern which is one of the largest of its kind in Waterbury, ex- plained that the dividend represents a transfer of 8 part of the surplus accumulated during the past 18 years to the capital funds.
 The company is owned mostly by local people. In other words the stock is closely held. The amount involved in the 100 per cent divi- dend declaration is approximately $300, 0,000, 1t is understood.
 Sufficient Surplus
 MT. Lux pointed out that the sur- plus of the concern at the present time is sufficient according to usual business procedure.
 The declaration of the 100 per cent dividend has nothing to do with the present business boom, MT. Lux explained. The shift of the surplus to the capital funds is merely a bookkeeping procedure.
 The Lux Clock Manufacturing Co. is one of the city's busiest fac- tories at the present time and is now engaged in erecting two large additions to the plant.

At North Haven he ordered Ludlow to drive along 8 darkened side street and when the driver re- fused Abel without further notice or warning shot him in the right side."

HITLER MAY QUIT
 AS SCHANCELLOR

Berlin, Sept. 22-(UP) - Report. have been circulated extensively by Berlin gossips that .Fuehrer Adolf Hitler is considering giving up the chancellorship in behalf of Her. mann Wilhelm Goering, but were emphatically denied by oficial and private sources today.
 An official of Goering's staff said That's just another bad egg which somebody is trying to hatch"
 Since 1894, there has been talk oi making Goering a deputy for Hit Ter in routine governmental mat ters, just as Rudolph Hess is a deputy in Nazi party affairs.
 Many conservative groups have been discussing the matter, because they believe Goering's well-known conservatism would serve to fend of radical measures, especially in the economic field.
 It has never gone beyond the talking stage, however, and people close to Hitler believe he never will relinquish the chancellorship except in the extremely remote event that he creates himself regent or some- thing similar.
