TO MAKE marshmallow flower bas-
ket place card favors, cover piece
of wire with crepe paper, bend it to
form a loop and push the ends into
big marshmalloW. Take a few sprays
of small artificial flowers and fill the
basket" by sticking the ends into the
marshmallow. Set 1t on a round card
board and tie the name card to the top
Of the handle.
For an Easter bunny favor, pull
marshmallow to make it long for the
body, fasten a round one on with a
toothpick for the head. pulling it out
in front for a nose. Mark eyes and
mouth with a soft black pencil. Split
long white gumdrops for the ears, fas-
tening them to the head with tooth
picks. Then take four smaller white
drops for the paws and another for the
tail. You can add small red gumdrops
down the front for buttons and out
line a Jacket" in pencil. Set the
bunny on a yellow card bearing the
guests name. Use a large velvet
bunny for the centerpiece and sur
round him with piles OF colored eggs,
letting the guests help themselves.
And here's table decoration that's
very effective. Place large nest OF
cellophane in the center OF the table,
with dime store hen on it. sitting on
colored eggs. Have little yellow chicks
scattered over the tablecloth, with a
decorated egg bearing the guests name
at each plate.

Gilbert said, and I keep them sup
piled with water all of the time
Since his home at sos Tennessee
avenue northeast is just a few blocks
from wooded area, Gilbert has been
able to trap all of his mice so far
right in his own yard.
Il have about 40 traps out now" ne
declared. And it's not such a soft
job, either, when you remember I get
up at 6 o'clock every morning to look
at the traps and visit them again
after school hours"

of specific types correctly identi-
fed at the National Museum, Gilbert
said.
After his Easter clothes have been
purchased, Gilbert plans to use the
profit from his new business in
furthering an old hobby--taxidermy
More of his friends are interested
in mouse catching than taxidermy,
however, and several have offered to
help him on commission basis.
Even his family has taken kindly
to mouse catching.
My fathers set several traps for
me" he said, and mother helps me
feed them sometimes"
Next Summer" he continued. I'm
going to set traps out in the country,
and I may raise mice, if business stays
good"
Gilbert isn't the least bit afraid Of
mice-in fact, he believed they would
make god pets and he's going to keep
those he can't sell for that purpose.

IinneBrings
New Duties
Parents May Aid by
Providing Patch for
Planting.

WITH gardening time just about
here, children who like to plant
things and watch them grow should
begin to lay their plans.
In two weeks or so, preparation of
the ground for the seed should be
undertaken, but before anything else
Is done a good plan should be made.
The first step is to get your parents
to designate patch Of ground in the
garden for your exclusive use. When
that has been done, take piece Of
paper and make a plan on it, putting
the taller flowers in the rear and the
shorter ones in front.
If your garden is deep enough, you
can plant such tall flowers as cosmos
or hollyhock or perhaps provide for q
few dahlias.
In front of them plant foxglove,
zinnia, African marigolds and such
flowers.
Stepping down again, use Glove
pinks, calendulas, dwarf or French
marigolds and so on.
For the border, low growing plants
such as ageratum should be planted
Later more will be said about this. The
first thing is to get your little garden
patch, measure it and draw up the
skeleton for q plan.

In the meantime, digging around
Indian burialS together has proved an
exciting hobby which reached a small
climax a week or so ago, when Hugh
found an old soapstone pipe, which he
believes is worth about $50.
Will he sell the relic?
No, indeed" Hugh exclaimed. Mel
ther one of us believes in commercial
izing our work"
This scientific attitude is reflected
in all of their activities to date Find
lngs-Which include anything from
skulls to ornaments-are carefully
Catalogued to show the exact location
of discovery as we'll as the proper de-
sCription. The boys also have made
maps of their findings to keep on the
records.
IT'S ALWAYS we" with Hugh and
Gates when they discuss archeol-
ogy. Becoming close neighbors sew
eral years ago, they soon learned of
their mutual love for Indian relics and
stralghtWay began a joint pursuit of
their hobby.
Finders are keepers, however, when
it comes to the spoils
The two began excavation opera
tlonS on a small scale. Bicycle trips
to nearby burials were their first ex-
petitions. Soon, however. they were
arranging digging jaunts to points in
several nearby States. In the Sum-
mer of 1885, joined by Hugh's father,
they motored out to Ohio and then
through Kentucky, Tennessee and as
far south as Georgia Last year a
canoe trip from Cumberland to Will

Transport, Md, was their major
project
Small adventures enliven many of
their trips. Once-after a hold-up-
Hugh was looking for arrow heads and
found a safe hidden away in some
underbrush by bandits.
Il was afraid l was being watched"
he recalled, and was almost afraid to
report the discovery to the police"
Gates recalls narrow escape when
he was chased by bull.
OUCH experiences are only sidelights,
however, to their major interest
in Indian relics. BY careful spading-
done under scientific direction-they
fragments of pottery, stone axes, old
mortars, beads made from shells, bones
and copper and even hairpin carved
out of conch shell
We found the hairpin back in
Tennessee-miles from the ocean or
the Gulf" they pointed out. Either
the Indians travelled much farther
than we believe this particular group
did or trading activities were extern
sive."
Fitting together bits of history
from such discoveries is fascinating
to the boys, who find it equally fas-
cinating to construct complete OBJ
jects from bits OF pottery, etc. In the
latter activity they work under super
vision OF the National Museum.
Some day, they say, they proba bly,
will turn their collections over to the
museum to keep them intact.

Don't Blame
Dog When It
Is PeStered
BY Horace Mitchell.

lust the other day something hap
pened which reminded me that we
shouldn't blame dogs too muc when
they bite people. Sometimes, of
course, dog is really savage and does
serious harm Then he ought to be
shot or otherwise eliminated from our
scheme of things. He has no place
In it.
But-and this is very big but, in
deed-there are occasions when the
puerson bitten is himself tc blame.
Two days ago a boy came up our
drive with Ned Saunders, 13, who de-
livers our magazines. "Skippy," our
23-variety dog imported from Canada,
knows Ned. Skippy always barks at
him, Ned says, Hi, Skippy!" and the
dog wags his tail and let's it go at
that.
Well, on this particular evening a
strange boy came with Ned. He had
an old bicycle tire Slung over his
shoulder and as he walked along he
took 1t off and began swinging it
round and round
Skippy came out and barkci, saw
the stranger and barked some more
The other boy jumped at Skip and
made as if to throw the old tire at
him, Skip barked harder. He backed
off and jumped about.
The boy ran after him, shouting and
swinging the tire. Then Ned called
that he was on his wa, home and the
boy turned to join him. Skippy dashed
in, bit the boy on the leg and then
suddenly struck by his conscience or
whatever it is that tells dog when
he has done wrong, ran into the
barn.
The boy cried out with pain and sur
prise, and Skippy was well on his way
to having a bad reputation in oul
town You know, once dog gets the
reputation of being snappy and bitter
1t isn't long before the dog officer tells
you the animal must be kept tied up.
Well, in this case the boys parents
were fair minded folks. They didn't
believe that whatever happened te
their son was the other persons (ol
dog's) fault every time And the boy
himself as a square shooter, too. He
told how he'd swung the tire at Skippy
and got him excited So, just to teach
the dog lesson, we tied him up fol
two days whenever one of the family
couldn't b. with him, and everything
Is o. K. now.
You fellows and girls ought to treat
dogs with respect, then the dogs will
also respect you-unless the dog hap
pens to be really ugly.

YHAT manner Of man was
I Cinderella's father?

w Kind and gentle and
ignorant of the cruelties
his daughter suffered from her STEP
mother because of his absence from
home during these unhappy episodes,
a group of young dramatic students al
Murch School, Thirty sixth and Ellicott
streets. have decided.
So they've written a prologue to a
Forthcoming production of the popular
fairy story in which Cinderella S father
is an important and lovable character
This will be the first appearance-at
least locally-of this interesting in
dividual who does not figure in the
original version of the story, several
Washington dramatic directors believe.
The young playwrights are working
on the theory that the life of the
beautiful Cinderella, who ultimately
married prince "and lived happily
ever after also began happily Their
opening scene therefore, introduces
Cinderella as very small girl and hei
father as thoughtful parent,
He's about to be married to woman
with two daughters-the wicked STEP
children, you remember-and with his
own daughter sitting at his knee, he's
breaking the news to her gently.
"Then," continue the young play
wrights, "Cinderella's father went
away on long trip" 1t was during
his absence, of course, that the troubles
began.

It's pretty interesting" he declared
as, surrounded by cages and traps, he
prepared to explain all about the

bottles and half-gallon glass jars In

inserting strip of meshed wire Just
large enough to close the opening,
once the mouse was inside. A rubber
hand about the neck of the bottle held
the wire in place on the outside and
on the inside wire trigger was set
to keep the trap open.
For bait, Gilbert uses cheese or a
small ball of oatmeal and cornmeal
paste. Mice also like nuts, apples.
