STATE LOSES BIG MONEY
ON ROAD EQUIPMENT

Estimating that between $4,000
and $4,000 worth of tools and equip
ment had been "lost, strayed or stol-
en-" during the past year, DIR. Homer
E. Tabler, chairman of the State
Roads Commission announced that
from now on all foremen would be
held strictly accountable for such
property assigned to their working
crews.
At meeting of the district engi-
neers, DR.. Tabler discussed the loss
es, pointing out, for example, that
acquisitions for shovels had been re-
ceived without any accounting for
such tools previously on hand.
''Glass is another thing" DR.. Tab
Ter said. 81 believe we have requisi-
toned enough glass to replace the
windshield on every motor vehicle in
the State Roads service"
Under the new system, as explain
ed by DR.. Tabler, all tools and other
equipment will be issued to foremen,
who will be held accountable and be-

CRAWFORD KELLER MAKES
GOOD AS FIGHT PROMOTER

Crawford Keller, popular Princess
Anne boy who made a reputation as
a pugilist, proved Wednesday night
last that he was competent promoter
as we'll.
To Keller goes most of the credit
for staging a highly successful box
ing show held here to help flood vic
tins.
Keller modestly explains it was the
splendid cooperation he received chat
enabled him to put across his show
from which he realized $143OO which
was turned over to o. Hoyt Bloods-
worth, Chairman of the local Chapter
of the Red Cross.

Bedtime Stories
A Question Settled.

If that was the case he would be
likely to sing most of the time,
wouldn't he? Anyway, he would sing
when he didn't want to sometimes
but he doesn't. He sings only when
he wants to-" declared Mother Brown
"How do you know that?" demanded
q visitor.
Because he sings only when every
thing is quiet and peaceful, and re-
fuses to sing when strangers are
present. If his singing was caused
by anything wrong with his throat,
he would be likely to sing most of
the time. Strangers being present
wouldn't make any difference" re-
piled Mother Brown.
HE sings for the same reason a
cat purrs," spoke up Farmer Browns
Boy.
What do you mean by that?" asked
a visitor.
ITO express his feelings" replied
Farmer Browns Boy. "A Cat purrs
when she is happy and contented,
never at other times. It is the same
way with birds in their singing; they
sing because they are happy; Cats
purr and birds sing to express hap
piness and contentment, and for their
own pleasure. 1t is the same way
with this little Mouse We've watched
him enough to know that. There
may have been Mice who sang be-
cause they couldn't help it, but it is
not so with this one. If he doesn't
want to sing he doesn't sing"
It was just as Farmer Browns Boy
said. The little Wandering Minstrel
sang only when he felt like it, and
he felt like it only when he was con-
tented and happy. If he was fright
ened or disturbed, his song ceased
instantly and was not likely to be
heard again for some time. So it was
settled beyond doubt that, while the
singing of some singing Mice may
be involuntary, there is now and then
Mouse who can and does sing be-
cause 1t wants to, and that this sing
ing is often an expression OF pleasure,
That very evening after the visitors
had left the little Wandering Min
strel came out for his supper and
then another discovery was made
He could do something that don
believe you can do. What was that?
Well, he could eat and sing at the
same time. Yes, sir, he could and
did. He sang with his mouth full.
Well, perhaps it wasn't full, but there
was food In it. He didn't stop eating
IN order to sing. He ate right along
and he sang right along, which was
quite an accomplishment. Don't you
think so?
What Is that you asked? Yes, this
Is the story of real singing Mouse
1t is really true.

Natures Children
Red Squirrels (Sciurus hudsonicus).
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY,
ATE March and early April q

r ATE March and early April are
the wedding months Of the red
squirrels. They are cousins to
IL the Douglas squirrel and the
Fremont, and wherever you see them
and in either one of their coats, they
have q pure white breast.
Hollow trees are used by the red
squirrels for the nursery. You will
see couple busily engaged construct
ing the nest. There is no seeming
hurry about the building, and the
young are born about the first Of May
At this time they are not very promis-
ing looking, being blind, naked, help
less and about AZ inches long
counting the tiny thread of a tail.
However. it is marvellous what love
care and good food will do. There is
nothing much more charming among
the woods folks than baby squirrels,
frisky. full Of pep and eager to explore
all the best jumping places in their
tree home.
Their mother, and on a few occa-
sions their father, chastise them. They
are warned, but they are apparently, at
times, quite obstinate. For mother
squirrels have been seen trying to get
their children to come in and take q
nap, have lunch or learn another les
son in lodging the neighborhood cats
Did they obey her No, they wanted to
play little while longer, and as soon
as she would get Junior indoors, little
sister would be so far out on the tree
calling for help the mother would
have to 60 after her, and sometimes
an hour or more would be taken up
getting the children all home.
Red squirrels are loud takers and
spend much time in scolding. They
have a home range of 10 acres, more
or less, and they are in a terrible
humor If any one dares to step foot
on their domain.

That seems more reasonable than
the idea that there is anything wrong
with the singer" said Mother Brown
There certainly is nothing wrong
with ours. Sick Mouse, indeed! II

think there was anything the matter
with him"

the clubs were solid. did not see his
way clear to overtake it. However,
West was equal to the occasion. He
put his partner in by under leading his
king OF diamonds, and the second
trump lead through South completed
the victory.
1t can easily be seen that with any
other lead but the trump South would
either be able to get his club ruff in
dummy or set up a diamond in time
for discard Vests lead may appear
lucky to the casual observer, but it is
remarkable the number Of times such
trump lead will save a trick, and it
will very rarely lose.

idea Of conservation. He covers the
ground with the harvest, and then he
goes to work shucking or opening the
nuts and carries his food to one Of his
numerous store houses
Fortunately, he forgets some Of them
and the nuts, at the proper time, begin
to grow and replenish the woods. It
has been claimed that these squirrels
plant many Of the nuts in a single
pocket and to the right depth for
growing. Perhaps he is, after all, not

this point has to be cleared up by some
