This little fellow is a Mexican
form that has decided to take up
residence in the United States. Out
side of his coloration, his habits are
the same IS those of his cousins.
All members of this charming clan
are useful neighbors. They never have
their fill Of gnats, flies, mosquitoes
and such pests. Their adulthood is
spent In trees. At courting time there
Is a grand exodus toward the "old
home town." which is the nearby pool
or pond. After wooing and winning
his lady love, by his charming voice,
there Is little heard from the singer.
His spouse goes quietly about her
maternal duties alone. She attaches
her eggs in small groups or singly to
the stems of plants and grasses grow
ing in the pond They are so tiny
that only an expert can find them,
for they are gray above and white
beneath. This is very clever. for the
foes beneath, looking up through the
grass, would never detect them. The
eggs hatch on the third day.
The taddies are tiny about 4 OF
IN inch long, and light yellow In
color. How they grow! In three
weeks these youngsters are fully
formed and their hind legs are in
bud! Now their color scheme Is a
golden shade. contrasting beautifully
with their flame -colored eyes. The
body seems to have been dipped In
q bath Of metallic metal, so glossy
does one appear at this stage. His
tail is likely to be a brilliant red.
Darting through the water, the wee
tadpoles look like flashes of jewels
and, after all, they are just that.
Even at this tender age they have
learned 10 avoid their deadly foes, the
great diving beetle or one Of his rela-
tives.
On the date Of his seventh week one

and haste he leaves the scene OF his

birth. His dress Is green now, but
when he finds his own special tree
and hunting for willy insects begins
he will don another that blends per-
fectly with the bark upon which he
sits. Night time is the busiest. You
wonder how the tiny tongue holds

often.

Brain Twizzlers
BY PROF. J. d. FLINT.

By PhOf. j. II. LINZ
TODAY'S story from Twizzler
Hightower Is about an agricultu-
rist who wished to test the ingenuity
Of his three sons. He gave Bill Is
eggs, Bob so eggs and Jack IS eggs.
He then instructed them to take the
eggs to the village and each sell his
eggs at the same price the two others
we're selling for. They were to come
home with the same amount Of money
for the eggs and each could not sell
his whole lot at once. How were the
eggs sold in order to follow instruc-
tions?
Let us warn you that the correct
prices to answer the problem may
sound ridiculous to you, but it's all in
fun and this can be worked out.

thing he could have done AZ
President"
Mr.. Tilden was one Of thoSS
patriots whose love of Liberty and
passion for Justice were the mani
festations Of the truth and hon.
esty that distinguished his char
acter.
And the crisis Of 1875 did what
crises always do in this life-in
the life Of the Nation and in the
lives OF its citizens strong and
weak, rich and poor-the crisis of
1875 turned the flaming light of
truth upon character. It revealed
to his countrymen the pure gold
Of Mr.. Tilden'S character.
A clergyman preaching to a
Washington congregation on a
recent Sunday declared that a
crisis is always a terrible ordeal
because it reveals the real char.
acter Of men to the stern judg.
ment of their felloWnen.
This is true Of the Congress of
the United States in this time of
criSiS-a crisis into which the
country has been plunged by the
wicked scheme of it's Chief Elk.
ecutive to pack the Supreme Court
Of the United States with craven
creatures who will register his will
and call it justice.
THEY FACE ORDEAL
Some Senators and Represen.
tatives in Congress whom their
constituents have believed until
now could neither be terrorized Dy
intimidation nor tempted by pa.
tronage, will break, or have al.
ready broken, under the strain Of
the ordeal they face.
Never again will they be what

they were.
Other Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress whose true in
WardneSS of character has not yet
been revealed to their fellowmen
will stand forth as the possessors
Of that character which Is "long
standing habit"
They may lose their political
lives, but they will live in history
as men of honor.
These are the Senators and Rep.
reSentatives in Congress who will
not finch from the sacrifice of
their seats in the Senate or the
House if this be the price they
mast pay to keep the faith and
save the republic.
OF such was Mr.. Tilden, as those
in the Congress today who call
themselves his fellow Democrats
should not forget.

PROFESSOR ALBERT JOHANNSIN of the Univer-

of the dime novel.
There's work that needs the doing, and for it the
good professor has collected 45OO of those master
pieces which were hidden under pillows to disturb
juvenile dreams.
This younger generation does not know the dime
novel.
1t was reared on more sophisticated fare.
More's the pity.
Writers of dime novels knew nothing and cared less
for all our new and tricky words.
All men were heroes villains, there was no middle
ground.
And all women were noble and pure beyond compare.

mine. Hence TINS DIaSG-anu

65,S93,457 culture seekers, for
whom, 1 insist, you're respOnS-
ible, gall"
NOT A VENEER
So you want a list of improv-
ing books like Joan Crawford's," do
you? Well, dearie, you're not 60
ing to get them. First, because I
don't know 'em. Second, because
they wouldn't do you any good If
I did.
Americas favorite Nutty Notion
Number l is this idea that culture
is something you can apply in big
gobs from the outside, like white
wash. No people on earth fall as
fast n furiously for improvement
programs of every sort as we do.
Our shops are glutted with little
volumes telling you how to become
a mastermind overnight. Practic-
ally all Of which is 100 per cent
tripe and nothing else but.
Progress doesn't work that way.
Refinement isn't veneer, to be ap-
piled by even the most skillful
hands. Any development that's
worth a hoot-or carries an ounce
Of authority-muSt rise from
within. The only education that
"takeS" comes in answer to your
own inner hunger. And only you
know what that hunger needs for
its satisfaction.
So it's useless to ask for "a list
of books to help you" The books
which Joan Crawford needed
whatever they may behave no
possible relationship to your need.
You might read them all and
memorize every word, yet remain
as unenlightened as when you
started.
What book is that? I don't know.
You, yourself, don't know until
you stop taking and posing, copy
ing and pretending, and study
yourself, as you are, and your own
life, as it is. Then chances are,
you'll be in for sad shock.
For if you're like the rest of
us, you've doubtless been indulg-
ing in magni-glorious pipe-dreams
about yourself. Kidding yourself
that you had a lot Of special, de
luxe, exotic tastes and desires.
Whereas you're probably just a
plain hot-dog-'n'- '-potato-chips hui
man like the rest of the gang. And
what you really need to develop
your massive brain is a simple, one
syllable treatise on How To Make
a Kitchen Cabinet Out of Packing
Boxes!
THRILLING OUTLOOK
All right, if that's the book you
need, that's the book you need!
And if you've snidge of sense,
you'll cut out the upstage stuff
and grab it instante! Where
upon you'll thank your stars for
ever after.
For, though can't give you a
book list, I can tell you this, part
ner. If you'll go at it honestly,
Self Development is the greatest
game on earth. Once started
with even the humblest beginning
and you'll never stop. From
that moment, your existence will
be made over. Never again will
life be colorless, for you will have
embarked upon that most thrilling
Of all adventureS-THE DISCOV-
ERY OF YOURSELF.

RELIABLE SIGNS

RELIABLE SIGNS
It was at the Army and Navy
reception at the White House. A
gentleman of the press noted for
his meticulous dress and continual
inSiStence on a state Of tidineSs
at all times walked with his wife
from the cloak-room along the
corridor to the steps leading up
the reception room.
He noticed that the floor was
Uttered with pieces of paper. He
called his wife's attention to the
fact and she agreed with him that
it was a pretty bad sight. The
gentleman finally noticed that the
bits of paper formed a trail from
the check room to the steps. He
stopped and picked up one of the
pieces. His interest was imme-
diately aroused and he picked up
several more to make sure.
Yes sir, these bits of paper were
price tags-in mast cases from
gloves.
The guests had been giving the
new regalia they bought for 'the
occasion the once over as they
preened themselves to face the
Chief Executive and you know how
it is-the new tails have tags in
the darndeSt places and then the
new gloves for the wife came right
out Of the box and a last-minute
rush to get there on time and
there you are and what to do but
strip them off at the last minute.
In remarking on this phenome-
non, a former society editor said
you could always tell which way to
go at an cat Home" by following
the little bits Of tissue paper that
protect calling cards. AS the guests
reach for the card they usually
throw the tissue away and there's
the trail.
