Natures Children
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

n VOW Is the time for you and
N your friends to come to the
" aid of your tree friends and
4 neighbors. Exposed to view
and often easy to reach are millions
Of tree enemies. The dainty little
thatched cottages SWaying to and
fro with the cold winds and icy blasts,
are perfectly insulated within by soft
silk hair and on the outside they have
walls of wood and waterproof silk, to
insure security for them. Further
the mother has anchored the small
cradle with cables Of silk so strong
that the tossing back and fro all Win
ter long does not wear them out.
Are we who have taken the pledge
Of conservation going to let measly
little insect outwit us? That Is what
the bagWorm has been doing for thou
sands of years. All we have to do
is to understand the workings of a
foe and then watch us!
AS you walk along the roadside,
through the woods, or inspect your
own trees, see how many of these
''rock-a-bye" babies on the tree twigs
you can find.
The favorite trees of these little
beasts are the cedars, arbor vitae and
other evergreens. But they may be

The whole Great World is made that way
old Mother Nature.
TT rs curious thing that often the
very things which bring hardship
and suffering and worry to some
L people bring pleasure to others.
It is Just as true among the little peo-
pie of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows as it is among human folks.
It has been so since the world began
and guess it always will be so.
While Reddy Fox and Old Man
Coyote and Yowler the Bobcat and
some others were having hard time
to get enough to eat and to keep warm
because of the snow and the ice and
the bitter cold, there were others who
had plenty to eat and didn't care
what the weather might be. 1t was so
with Paddy the Beaver, in his fine,
warm house in his own pond in the
Green Forest, and with Jerry Muskrat,
in his house in the water at the edge
of the Smiling Pool Both had plenty
of food in the water under the ice.
There the temperature was always
the same. They knew nothing of snow
and sleet storms or the bitterness of
Jack Frost and rough Brother North
Wind. They were content to eat and
sleep. In quiet way they enjoyed
the Winter.
Little Joe Otter and the members
of his family enjoyed the Winter in
more active way. With the coming
of snow and ice they had fun, real
fun, and lot of it. They liked the
snow and ice because, just like you
boys and girl who live where there is
snow and ice, they like to go slid
Ing. In fact, they are so fond of slid
ing that in Summer they make mud
slides, as do the Offers who live where
In Winter it is too warm for snow
and ice.
It was a matter of disappointment
10 Little Joe Otter. Mrs. Joe and their
two well-groWn children that there
was no open water at the foot of the
steep bank near where they were liv-
ing. Little Joe remembered some VIM
ters when there had been, and they
had had a wonderful slippery slide
there. But this Winter the cold had
been so severe that the water there
had frozen over. So, while they could
go sliding there, they couldn't end
each slide with a smooth plunge in
the water, as they so dearly love to
do. However, they had a lot of fun
sliding down the bank and out on
the snow-covered ice, and when the
hard, icy crust that covered the snow
everywhere melted they had lot of
fun in the snow everywhere they went.
As you know, one of the young

found easily on many trees that are
not free of foliage.
The silk sacks, bags or sleeping
Quarters, whatever you wish to call
them. were made by the larvae of the
insect mother, who SO eagerly sought
these trees for her offspring. After
she has lived in the cottage all her
life, she fills it up with eggs in the
Autumn, then she creeps to the door
and drops to the ground.
That is why it is important to
gather the bags at this time before
the eggs hatch. When the young
foliage comes out on the trees. the
eggs hatch and the larvae start out
right away to make retreats for them
selves. You can have lots Of fun

Offers had gone some distance into
the Greenf Forest, and there he had
been discovered by Old Man Coyote,
who, being desperate with hunger,
had tried to catch him. Little Joe

in the snow and followed it. He ar
rived just in time. Old Man Coyote
wisely retreated.

Otter, II guess 1t was a good thing

wasn't afraid. I didn't want to fight
if I could help it, but when I found
that must fight I wasn't afraid. He
might have been too much for me,
but he would have known he had
been in a fight. He is big and he
looked rather desperate"
He is too big and strong for you
to fight with yet, and I wouldn't ad-
wise you to fight with him at any
time if you can avoid it" said Little
Joe. Then he added: wait until you
have attained your full strength and
have gained more experience before
you fight with any one as big as that
fellow"
"You are not heading back toward
home?" said the young Otter sudden
ly, having just noticed the direction
in which his father was leading the
way.
Want to go home?" asked Little
Joe.
Not unless you do," was the prompt
reply.
Then" replied Little Joe, having
come so far, we'll keep on for a while
and see if we can find some fun"
Presently they came to long,
smooth slope. Little Joe pushed off
from the top and slid half way down
before stopping. Then he gave another
push and slid the rest of the way.
The young Otter followed him. Then
they scrambled back to the top of the
slope and did it all over again. 1t was
fun. 1t was great fun. With every
time they went down the slide it was
improved. They no longer stopped
half way, but went way to the bottom
every time.
II haven't had so much fun this
Winter" declared Little Joe.

MEETS THURSDAY
Aid in Campaign to Aid
Crippled Children Given
by Leaders.

Formed to band together leading
citizens and physicians, who are to
confer with DR.. George C. Rutland,
District health officer, on a program
to aid crippled children, the recently
organized Child Foot Health League
OF the District Of Columbia will meet
Thursday at pm. in the Thomson
School, Twelfth and L streets NV.
Citizens Aid Cause.
Through communication received
from its secretary, Ernest H. Pull
man, it was learned that several lead
ing citizens of the District are PLAN
ming to aid this cause. Since the Oc-
tober meeting OF the organization q
list has been compiled of those MEM
bers who will serve as an advisory
board as patrons. The list includes
such outstanding civic and charitable
workers as William N. Schaefer and
Alfred Howard of the Under-privi-
legged Children's Committee of the
Kiwanis Club; L. G. DeGast, general
secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; Jess
c. Suter of The Washington Star,
A. j. Driscoll, Citizens Association
Editor of the Washington Times; DR..
Harry S. Lewis, DR.. P. T. Johnson,
DR.. Waldo H. Jones. DR.. Arne M. Matt
son, Allan Davis. former principal Of
Roosevelt High School; Mrs. Willard
E. Given, T. C. Downing, physical
training teacher at the Alice Deal
Junior High School. and Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle, president of the Board
of Education.
Several prominent citizens other
than the advisory board members ex-
pressed their views and willingness
to cooperate with the organization.
Cooperation Promised.
"I am very much interested In the
Child Foot Health League" DR.. Ruh-
land said. 'The personnel identified
with 1t seems to guarantee high grade
and competent service. The Health
Department, through the assistance
of the Children's Bureau, Is able to
offer some service for crippled chill
dren. Since the league is interested
in preventive work, 1t would be well
for its officers and medical staff to
clear with the maternal and child
welfare bureau of this department"
Il devote my entire time to the
health of children of school age. and
am interested in all constructive ef-
forts in this field" said DR.. Joseph
A. Murphy, chief, School Medical In
spection Service of the District Health
Department. 81 would be glad to be
of service to individual members or
committees Of the league"
II assure you of my interest in the
object of this league" said DR.. F. w.

ROme's "New Deal
Continued From First Paae)

brief existence. Apparently 1t was
swamped by growing demands for the
use of wheat for relief Of the un-
employed.
An obstreperous Congress (the
Roman Senate) refused to continue
the r. A. of Gracious Perhaps it
seemed extravagant and impractical
But the Senate did not have the nerve
to stop the semi-dole of grain which
Gracious probably had adopted as a
temporary measure to tide over the
unemployed until he could get his
r. A. into successful operation. A
few years later political pressure re-
duced the price of relief grain from
25 cents bushel to 4 cents. and
finally it was given away. Within
less than 100 years, more than 800 900
Of Rome's million inhabitants were
on relief. Finally bread was substi-
tuted for wheat and free meat and oil
were added to the bread ration.
Rome never was able to deal sue
cessfully with the unemployment
problem. In part, this problem was
political; in part. economic. Caesar
was strong enough to purge the relief
rolls. But the unemployed became a
pressure group to which politicians
appealed with increasing promises not
merely of relief, but of expensive
public entertainments.
"Panem ct circenses," "bread and
games" is phrase of the Roman
satirist, Juvenile, that has become
historic. Plutarch sadly remarks
that "the man who first ruined the
Roman people was he who first gave
them treats and gratuities
After the Gracchi reaction set in.
The senate had returned to full
power, having, like the Bourbons,
learned nothing. The spectators
were allowed to continue their ex-
ploitation of the mass of the peo-
pie. Unrest found expression in up
risings, and out Of the prevailing an
archy the proverbial strong man
emerged in the person of Julius
Caesar, who made himself dictator.
Panic Among Privileged.
In the year 40 B. C. when he
crossed the Rubicon on his way to
Rome, there was a panic among the
dominant privileged classes. Real
estate values fell and there was a
flight from the dollar-or the de-
narius
Caesar met the situation with lib
eral bankruptcy laws, based on the
pre-war value Of property. He un-
dertook to cut relief in half, and he
actually succeeded in sending out

District Civic Problems and Civic Bodies
Return Of the Cy Re-any Groups
Meetings Scheduled This Week Will Discuss National

of providing for the sale Of 3 tokens
for 25 cents instead OF for so
cents. Some of the delegates saw in
the order the realization of an OBJ
jective for which. the Federation has
for years worked-universal trans
fers and uniform rates of fare.
Words of praise for the improved
service and improvement in equip
ment mingled in the discussion with
bitter denunciation of the COM
pany for failing to give either sat-
isfactory standard of either equip
ment or service.
AS this is written the Federation's
petition for rehearing has not yet
been filed with the Commission.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that 50 far as the fedora
ton is concerned it never COM
pleted its participation in the orig
inal hearing Of the case. At the
close Of the hearing the represent
ative Of the Federation requested the
privilege Of filing brief covering
the same issues which are raised
now in petitioning for a rehear-
ing. The request was granted and
80 days allowed for the filing Of
such brief. At its expiration an ex-
tension of 80 days was given but
the brief has never been filed.
Among those who voted against
the motion to petition the COM
mission for rehearing there are
those who fear reopening of the
case may result in the introduction
Of additional evidence by the COM
pany showing further substantial
increases in cost which would en-
title them to an increase in fare
above the rates fixed in the recent
order.
