They ate their lunch and Copy
said, "A thought has popped into
my head. I'm going to feed the lit
tie deer, then train him for a
trick.
Hes graceful and I'll bet that he
will pump away up high for me.
When we are through with lunch,
I'm going to find nice, long stick"
Just what the sticks for puz-
zles me-" said Colby. Oh, you'll
shortly see," replied wee Copy, with
smile. I'm going to hold it out.
Then I will tell the deer to leap
right over it. You TIMES keep real
quiet, or you'll scare the deer away,
without doubt"
The stick was found, and Copy
said, "All right, now, wee deer, come
ahead and show my little Tiny
friends how smart you really are"
The deer for seconds, seemed to
stare, and then he leaped into the
air. "Hurray," exclaimed fair Dot
ty. why, he cleared the stick by
far"

The farmer smiled at Scouty
and he said, "I1l have to shake
your hand I'm glad, now, that
you didn't let me shoot that little
deer.
You see. had happy bunch
that you tots would enjoy some
lunch. I figured on some deer
steaks, but that thought is out, I
fear.
Instead, I'll give you bread and
Jam. That's all have. OF course,
am real glad to share it with you.
Come, we'll journey to my shack"
"Oh, I can't wait till we get
there" said Scouty. Il will eat my
share. Perhaps the little deer will
stay right here till we get back"
They started off. Then Dotty
cried, THE deer is right by Scouty's
side. I guess he knows that Scouty
saved him. He feels safe and
sound.
If you ask me, he's quite a pet,
the incest one that we've found yet.
He's very cute and we will not mind
having him around"

Health Officer Is Concerned Over
81 Deaths Here So Far
This Year.

Health Officer George c. Rutland
today planned to organize campaign,
with the cooperation of private
medical leaders. against the prevalence
and death rate in the District for
dipththeria.
DR.. Rutland voiced concern over
the fact there have been 81 deaths
from the disease in the District so far
this year. There have been 426 cases
reported, and officials have evidence
indicating there are at least 200
Carriers of the disease in the city.
DIR. Rutland and officials of the
medical societies will seek to per-
suade parents of children OF pre-
school age to have them inmInized.
He said medical leaders were agreed
immunization should be given to
children any time after they have
reached the age Of 6 months.
Universal adoption Of this preven-
tive method, he said, would result in
a drastic reduction of the number of
cases and deaths.

ROCKVILLE, Md, August 3.-A
new drive against pin ball machines
was planned in Montgomery County
today following warning by States
Attorney James H. Pugh that such
devices are illegal If they pay Oh in
coins or slugs.
The prosecutor first called the at
tention of Chief of Police j. William
Garrett to the devices July 10, but is
still receiving complaints about their
operation. The chief said his men
we're conducting an investigation, but
no arrests Lad been made as yet.
Lawful II No Prize.
puph wrote Chief Garrett that slugs
from the machines are being cashed
for money or merchandise. Pin ma
chimes are lawful If played for pleas
ure and there is no prize for the
highest score, he stated.
The type which recently made its
appearance in the county, however, he
said, is played with ball which, II
placed in the proper drop, entities the
competitor to slugs redeemabie in
cash or merchandise.
Pugh's letter instructed the CHIEF
to take such devices into custody as
States evidence and charge the mer-
chants in whose stores they were
found with permitting gambling and
possession of paraphernalia for the
purpose of gambling.
Mother Complains.
The latest complaint to reach the
States attorneys office was from a
woman in Silver Spring who said her
children were playing the gambling
devices
Pugh first directed drive on illegal
pin ball and slot machines and games
of chance at carnivals shortly after
taking Office in 1885. Last Spring
voters of the county approved a new
law legalizing games of chance and
skill at benefit functions.

RELIEF COMBATS
i. s. |LL|TERACY
Teachers Given Jobs In
structing Thousands in
Reading, Writing.

Combining education with relief, the
Works Progress Administration is set
ting a new record for combating
illiteracy.
Deputy Administrator williams an
nounced yesterday that 6,602 formerly
unemployed teachers were engaged
during May in teaching 266, $50 people
to read and write, under the emer-
gency education program. Later re-
ports, he indicated. should increase
the total to half million students
enrolled in literacy classes. or about
one-eighth of the country's 4,000,000
illiterates.
Monthly reports to Dr. L. R. Alder
man, director of the education pro-
gram. showed a total enrolment of
1.826,034 students in classes of all
kinds. AS result, employment was
being given to 40,585 teachers.
For the District of Columbia the
May report showed 904 persons being
taught to read and write by % teach
ers. There were l20 literacy classes
The whole education program in the
District accounted for the employ
ment of 90 teachers. Enrolled in 248
classes Of various kinds were 2,540
students.
The 10 nursery classes in the Dis
trict had an enrolment Of 800 pupils
and - teachers. General adult classes
for SAL persons were being taught by
10 teachers. There were 81 differ
ent classes. Eleven teachers were also
assigned to instruct 424 parents en-
rolled in 80 classes. Vocational guid-
ance furnished employment for six
teachers. A total of 37l students were
enrolled in 26 vocational classes.
The drive against illiteracy in Mary
land resulted in Is teachers being
given employment. A total of 1872
persons were enrolled in classes. The
entire Maryland education program
for the month engaged 800 teachers,
who gave instruction to 1927 stu
dents.
Virginia had a far greater enroll
ment in the literacy classes. the total
being 1908 Mountain districts had
numerous classes. A total of 405
teachers were engaged in work Of
this kind. In classes Of all kinds in
the State 36.451 students were en-
rolled in May. The teachers num-
bered 2,244.
THE value of such work is diff
cult to estimate" williams declared.
Industrial leaders have learned that
the illiterate person is the poorest
customer and that any effort to raise
the educational standard of people
has a definite dollars-and-cents re-
suit"
