ELECTS OFFICERS
Citizens Association Names
E. !. Lewis President; Token
Order Change Asked.

Ernest I. Lewis last night was
elected president of the Georgetown
Citizens Association, succeeding John
H. Small, who resigned in October be-
cause he was leaving the city.
Other officers elected are B. H.
Meyer and Rear Admiral Spencer
Wood, first and second vice presidents,
respectively; Joseph I. Cavanaugh, Sec
retary, and Wallace Streator, treas
urer.
A resolution introduced by Milo H.
Brinkley. chairman Of the Public Utili-
ties Committee, was passed. urging the
Public Utilities Commission to modify
its order with respect to the minimum
number of street car tokens sold, so
that three may be bought for % cents.
The resolution also carried indorse-
ment OF the commissions action with
respect to establishment of uniform
rates and universal transfers.
On the motion Of Frank P. Leetch
the association unanimously adopted
a report OF the Legislative Committee
on bill in the Senate providing for
election machinery to name delegates
from the District to the National party
conventions. The committees report
urged that no action be taken indors-
ing the bill, since. it was felt, the
measure was premature since no voting
privileges were existent in the District
MIR. Lewis and Mr.. Meyer gave re-
ports on school conditions and park
development, respectively.

was unafraid. What was there to
fear?
So he raced up to the nest. Then,
instead Of cautiously climbing up to
peep over the edge and make sure
that the nest was empty, he scrambled
up on the rim of the nest, and then
and there received such a shock that
the wonder was that he didn't lose his
hold and tumble backward to the
ground. There, so close that he could
have reached out and touched it, was
face with black mask on it!
Happy Jack was so startled that
he gasped. 1t was a gasp Of fright.
1t was not loud gasp. In fact, it
was very faint gasp, but it was loud
enough to cause pair of eyes to open
in that masked face right in front
of him. Happy Jack didn't wait for
anything more to happen. He turned
and leaped recklessly to a lower limb,
raced to the end of this and leaped

looks OF it. Besides, he remembered
that once the Redtails had lived
in this part of the Green Forest, and
because of 1t he had taken care to
keep away from 1t. This year the
Redtails had moved to another part
of the Green Forest and therefore this
nest was abandoned.
I'll just run over and have look
at it" thought Happy Jack. 1T may
be good enough to be rooted over,
and if so, Mrs. Happy Jack may like
to know about it. Anyway, there will
be no harm in having a LOOK"
So Happy Jack jumped across to
the next tree, ran out almost to the
tip of branch of that tree and leaped
over to branch of a tree beyond.
So without ever coming to the ground.
Happy Jack reached the tree in which
was the nest that had aroused his
curiosity. Without the least hesita-
ton he started up toward the nest,
for he was considerably below it. He

HAPPY JACK squirrel.
HAPPY JACK has learned that all
too often the time when danger
seems to be farthest away is the very
time when it Is nearest at hand. So
heedlessness has no excuse at any time
1t simply doesn't pay. Worse than
that, it often is very costly.

leaving them to Mrs. Happy Jack, with
nothing else in particular to do. He
isn't wanted around home and he
doesn't want to be around home while
the children are small. The care of
them and the worrying over them
make Mrs. Happy Jack somewhat short
in temper. So Happy Jack keeps out
of her way.
Happy Jack also has a liking for
fresh meat. You didn't know that?
Well, it is true. It is true of all the
Squirrel cousins. 1t is family trait.
Even little Striped Chipmunk has it.
Chatterer the Red Squirrel has it to
greater degree than the others, per-
haps. But none are wholly without it.
So while Happy Jack the Gray Squir-
rel does not make a practice of hunt
ing for the eggs and young of his
feathered neighbors, as does Chatterer.
he is likely to look into any nest he
happens to run across by chance.
On this particular morning Happy
Jack had wandered a little beyond his
usual range. From high up in a tall
tree he looked across to an old nest.
1t once had been the nest Of Redtail
the Hawk, He guessed that by the

to see who had disturbed him, Happy
Jack was two trees away and still
going.
Bobby Coon yawned and stretched
himself luxuriously. Then he resumed
his nap in the old nest Of Redtail the
Hawk. Meanwhile Happy Jack lost
no time in getting back to familiar ter
ritory. 1t wasn't that he feared that
Bobby Coon would chase him. He
knew better than that. It was be-
cause he was so upset by the shock he

from the common cold to infantilO

fungi is one of the strangest ideas
of modern times.
