he may be green Of various shades
and with all his upper surfaces dis
tinctly spotted. The spots are many,
some small some large, and most OF
them round These spots may be
brown or green. His arms and legs
have irregular bands of dark brown
and there are tiny dots of bright yel-
low spots between them. His round
ear is brown and his eyes reddish
bronze. His throat is bright yellow
or green, that of his spouse purplish
brown. His underparts are light yel-
low. You will notice that his skin
is leathery and thick and that it is
granulated over the entire upper sur
face. There is fold of skin over
the ear from the eye to his shoulder
and another fold across his breast
and one at the base of his throat.
The unusual granulation of the
skin will give you the reliable identifi-
cation mark, for no other North

Natures Children
Florida Tree Frog (Hyla gratiosa) .

the other tree frogs you have seen
are all very smooth, and the skin Is
like satin, or rough only with fine
warts, as in the common tree frog.
The interesting color change that
this frog makes or does not make, IS
a phase you may watch If you can
capture one of them. Sometimes the
frog decides to wear brown or green
all season and nothing seems to in
duce him to make the change. Again,
when he is feeling happy. because
mating time Is rolling around once
more, or he has had a particularly
good hunting season, the color
changes take place very rapidly.
With a stop watch he has been
clocked to make the change in 10
minutes, and such color combinations
as he would choose. He may decide
to don a bright green suit, with bril-
liant spots that had dark centers,
and ringed in black; or more somber
suit Of plain green in a light shade.
The ground color of his suit may be
ashy in the middle of the back and
deepen to a mulberry color, which
spreads, wiping out the green shade.
The spots will be dark or darker at
the will Of the magician.
His throat pouch Is very large and
a lovely bright yellow or green. At
this time, If you should suddenly de-
eide to capture the charming fellow
and hold him tight, he would let out
a harsh-sounding squewk that means
he is much putout. At this time he
will become all ruffed up with re-
sentiment and become almost as bro2d
as he is long. He does not hold his
angry feeling long. If you even offer
him his freedom he will not take 1t,
but is most likely to hold fast with
his sticky toes to your hand, settling
down for gentle little nap. This is
most gratifying, as you feel sure you
| have won his confidence and respect.

" EXPERIENCE is the one great
l. teacher of all the little people
of the Green Forest and the
IL Green Meadows. For that
matter, experience is the one great
teacher of us all. There are many
things we may be told. but we cannot
learn until we have experienced them.
1t was just so with the two young
Foxes, who had gone out into the
Great World together. They were
learning fast these days, and 1t was
experience that was teaching them.
1t was one ching to be told how to
hunt for and catch a dinner, but it
was quite another thing actually to
do this. There was no one to bring
them things now, so they had to learn
how to hunt successfully.
They had been warned that man
was their worst enemy, and that they
must keep out of his sight. This
didn't mean much until they saw man

scent gave them a queer and very un-
pleasant feeling. 1t sent little shivers
of fear all over one of them. called
the Tinid One For that matter, her
sister had most unpleasant feeling.
They knew then that whenever they
found that scent they would have to
watch out.
Now while they had learned to hunt
others and to be very successful in
that hunting, they had never known
what it was to be hunted themselves.
Lightfoot the Deer was the only one
of the larger people they had as yet
met, and Lightfoot, of course, was not
an enemy. So thus far they never had
had TO run from any one.

RADIO WORKSHOP
MAY HELP DRAMA
First of New Series of Pro-
grams by Irving Refs to
Be Heard Tonight.

Broadening It's experiments In the
field of radio drama, the Columbia
Broadcasting System announces new
series, entitled Columbia workshop
In which Irving Refs, young G. b.
6. playwright and director. Will be
given an opportunity to attempt any
thing new and unusual in voice and
sound effect which might help to
further radio technique. Refs Is the
Young engineer author who deserted
the control room to use his technical
knowledge in original productions,
which won wide acclaim for their new
patterns and treatment.
The Workshop" series will consist
of half hour presentations to be heard
each week, beginning tonight. from
7:3O to 8 o'clock. Refs. as producer,
will be given a free hand and all new
tools and talent he can command.
New writer's will create some OF the
plays; in others, new actors and
actresses will be given an opportunity
to try-out anything unique in micro
phone manner which they may have
conceived.
During some Of the broadcasts
the listening audience will be asked
to participate in offering constructive
criticism of new production methods
1t might be a series of five sounds
with the audience being requested
to determine which is the most pleas
ant to the ear. Then again. they VII
be asked comparative opinions on
five-minute one-act plays, presented
first by a carefully rehearsed grour
of actors, then by second group
which has simply read over the lines
individually.

writing and production Of severa
trail-blazing experimental productions

Outstanding among them were three

tually a wheel truly adjusted and

q blurring of spokes, gives very little
evidence of rotation.

We see plainly that the wheel turns.
Sometimes it is stain, or spot on
the tire, temporary repair, perhaps,
that indicates the turning of the
wheel.
Thus our problem turned out to
be a simple matter after all. 1t was
easy for our artists to draw the wheels
on thin cardboard, cut them out and
fasten them in their proper places
so they could be turned. They were
then turned little and photographed
after each turn"
II all this dosen't seem as plain as
the nose on your face. Maj. Gillette
says, simply consider for a moment
the reason why any motion picture
tually movie is nothing but series
of still pictures each made after short
intervals of time and flashed con-
secutively upon the screen.
Now then, by removing the first
picture from the screen and replacing
it with second picture during that
tenth Of second the eye cannot de-
tect the change Of pictures. In actual
practice at the present time of "a
pictures per second are flashed upon
the screen. These, when seen by the
human eye, appear to be but one pic
