Post Cards
Good Hobby
Boy States
Maryland Girl Tells
Of a Collection of
Butterflies.

DEAR EDITOR: Two of my favor
ite hobbies are collecting china
dogs and drawing, but the one I'm go
ing to write about is my ever-growing
collection of butterflies and moths.
Il am 13 years old and have just
passed to the second year of high
school. I started my collection about
two weeks before school closed in June,
upon the biology teachers request.
'The most interesting way of coll
lecting moths is to get the larva, keep
it until it spins a cocoon and matches
In the Spring. Another way 1 catch
them is with net, although many
flowers have been broken in the at
tempt to get them. A few of my rarest
are the 'Humming Bird Clear Wing,
the 'Tersa Sphinx and the Five Spot
ted Hawk Moth
The moths are killed with alcohol
or ether and after their legs and wings
have been Strengthened pin is stuck
through the upper part of their bodies.
and they are placed in box The
box have is about IA by 20 inches
and is bedded with cotton for protec-
ton. An easy way to keep ants and
other insects from them is the use of
moth balls
Il have small book on butterflies
and moths, through which I identify
them and learn how they live.
Il really think this is an interesting
and amusing hobby, and would love to
hear from other boys and girls who
collect them. JEAN DOBSON.

Dear Editor:
my hobby is collecting post cards.
have them from almost all the coun-
tries in the world and I have them
from all the States in the Union.
Some day would like to go to see
the places that are shown on my post
cards, although they make me think
am there.
Once my mother went away and
sent me post card of the hotel she
was staying in. That was my first post
card. Then some of my friends went
away on their vacations and sent me
some more post cards.
so then 1 started saving them.
have been saving for two years. I have
264 post cards right now.
"One Of daddy's friends went around
the world and sent him many post
cards of the different countries. Daddy
went to Germany and sent me post
cards Of the interesting places that he
visited.
My grandparents save post cards
for me. Other people who 60 away
send me cards because they know I
am collecting them.
When friends come to see us show
them my collection of post cards. 1t
is nice way to entertain them. Be-
sides, it teaches them geography, if
they do not already know it.
My post cards teach me geograp phv.
too. That is one reason that I am
saving them, but the main reason is
because 1t is so much fun.

had struck her suddenly that Bet ty was dead - and then, mercifully, all reason had grown dim. She had functioned like an automaton. Mar tha remembered stories of soldiers in the Great War, of how when death was all about them, and their eyes were seeing fr1ghtfuJ carnage, they went on without knowing or caring - as though God in His wisdom were protect ing them in that awful hour from something which might dr1ve them into an insanity worse than death. But now as she sat there, slowly retaining her grip upon reality, she saw that the ofncsr's words might really be the first ray of sun that had pierced since the moment she knew Betty was not going to return to the trailer. Per- haps Betty has escaped, or Sped- don had let her go before cross. ing the border. In that happy event, her first move would be to get in touch with Martha.
 With a start Martha realized that, according to SlosS' itinerary, she should have made several stops before reaching Portland. But now the best she could do was to go on to Portland and wait for Betty's message there.
 Filled with renewed hope, she turned to the child in the little fruit stand. Thanks so much. :" She held out a shining quarter, and, pop-eyed, the urchin grabbed it, stammering his own thanks profusely.
 Consulting Sloss' itinerary book, Martha read, Rose City Trailer Haven, Portland, Oregon" Slid- ing the book back into the pocket of the coupe, she showed into gear and was of for Portland.
 She had no sooner registered at the Rose City Trailer Haven than the alert woman proprietor said, T think got letter for you. It's addressed in pencil and kind of smudged but I think 1t says Martha Britain"
 Let me see it!"
 The woman fumbled among the disarray of dusty desk. Here 1t is. Is that your name on there? it is. Is that your name on there It's terrible writing"
 "Yes," Martha cried ecstatically, tits mine." For she recognized the writing, as scrawled and hurried as it was, as Betty's. And the postmark was Eureka!
 Opening the envelope, she drew out piece of cheap notepaper which had obviously been tightly crumpled before being folded and inserted. The penciled scrawl was dim and smeared-but there were characteristic letter formation. Martha was certain that this mes- sage, at last, was from Betty Haynes herself.
 "It's - I can hardly make it out. Can I have little more light, please?"
 Reluctantly the woman turned another switch, while Martha smothed the paper fiat upon the table. Time after time she tried to follow the thought of the few penciled lines after the more clearly legible Dear Martha" But the best she could make of it was this:
 Dear Martha
 no danger right now but
 Speddon just carrying
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-12

Never would Martha Britain be able to remember clearly the night and day following her discovery that Speddon had gone north with out Betty Haynes-the night and day which took her from California border to Portland, that busy met ropolis of northern Oregon.
 She knew that she must have slept, but at what spot along the craggy coast of northern Cali fornia or southern Oregon she did not remember. Sometimes, long afterward, she recalled bits of scenery = the ocean breaking in a rim of white far below the high way. Or 8 tall rock jutting from the sand. Or a stretch of shaggy parked pines stretching over roll- ing yellow grass. Sometimes she would recall the names of towns, or remember vaguely inquiring her way. She remembered, too, having sandwich and coffee in a small, smoky restaurant. But it wss all as in dream-and the rest was blank.
 Afterward she knew that if it hadn't been for the shock of the news at the border she wouldn't have gone on north at all. Cool and sober judgment would have made her stay on, since the traffic officer seemed so certain that Betty had not proceeded with Speddon into the north. But oft times Providence steps in to take c hand, to make mortals relin- quish their cool and sober judg- snents. Betty was to believe that this must have been the case dur ing those bleak 48 hours after she left the California border, those hours when she seemed to have driven on blindly, without con- sciousness and without reason.
 But she would never forget the moment which brought her into grim reality - a moment of sur prise that struck her like dash of icy water. It was a slim white sign-poSt which she slowed down to read, her mind struggling from its fog. At first the word con- noted nothing, and then she took in its meaning. Even then she could not believe it, was inclined to think it the roadside trick of some itinerant wag. She stopped at 3 roadside stand a little farther on and asked sthe freckled little shopkeeper how far it was to Portland.
 About IA miles, lady. Just keep pn goin' the way you are"
 Then she knew that the sign had been right. She had driven somehow - more than 200 miles across a western state, and yet she remembered no more than handful of scattered moments from 1t! While the freckled ur- chin gaped curiously, Martha sat silently in the coupe trying to remember, trying to collect her shattered bearings.
 The words of the California state patrol officer drifted back to her. T looked in the record book and found Speddon's name and his license number. He was olayed through and nobody was with him."
 Nobody was with him. That was what had paralyzed her reason. It

Martha, greatly worried, finds herself torn between two fires as she is learn ing to love Neal yet she cannot kll0w whether to trust him.
 Finally, en route north from San Francisco, Neal tells Martha he loves her. She reasons that
 
 ahe muSt not let herself fall for tAis man under the circumstances which he seems involved in Bet SyS disappearance. So she plays her ewn game, returns his love, and at the right moment swerves into . filling station, calls police, and has Neal arrested. He sub- Maits to arrest without refuting Mafthas story.
 Martha heads on north in search oe Betty and at the state boundary she learns that Sped don has been Olayed out of the state by officials, but there was no woman with him!

Ciznik in Seattle

6eStys
 Try as she might, Martha could make out no more than those words. Betty's was usually Q fine hand, and Martha knew that only great hurry or terrible fright could make her mail Q letter such as this. And the pencil and cheap paper were unlike Betty.
 Swiftly Martha took up the paper and stuffed it into the pocket of her jacket. If there's a message for me here, please hold it. I'm unlocking the car from the trailer and going to the police with thisl"
 In less than tllree-quarters of an hour she had again told her story to the law. But this time she had a genuine clew, a piece of evidence. The attitude of Joe Marshall of the Portland bureau was much different than that of Sloan at Los Angeles and the dubious desk sergeant at Eureka. But then Detective Marshall had before him this piece of paper which seemed to interest n1m strangely.
 T think what she's saying here," he told Martha, "is that she's in no immediate danger, but that Speddon is carrying her along for safety.
 For safety?"
 Marshall nodded. Afraid she'd talk if she got away. That's bad. And what makes it twice as bad is that Speddon was headed to see a guy named Ciznik in Seattle. Johnny Ciznik." He looked at Martha oddly moment without speaking. Then: "If she wrote this from Eureka, and didn't come across the border with Speddon, I got a hunch she's been rnurdered!"

STORIES IN S STAMPS Y
LAZY ENEMY OF Busy ANTS =
BY I. s. KLEIN

CTRANGE fate of the busiest and V most versatile insects on earth. the ants, Is that they should be devoured by one of the laziest ani- mals in existence. the ant-eater. Large, indolent, and powerful. this weird-looking beast of South America has sharp curved claws that tear ant-hills apart, and a long snout with an lS-inch worm. like tongue that draws the insects to their death in quick succession. A sticky secretion on the tongue prevents escape of the unfortunate victims.
 Othe, than being a Voracious feeder on ants, the ant-eateJ is sluggish. Its body Is about four feet long, and its bushy tail almost again as long. It lumbers along clumsily on paws that, because of their curved claws, do not permit of much progress. But no other animal dare defy it, for those sharp talons can easily rip an enemy apart.
 Since the tropical jungles of South America are its abode, the

Brain TwizzIers By Prof. ,. D. Flint

MT. Brown was a very sound in- vegtCr and he spent much of his time figuring methods of insuring his fanily's security. Among other Shings he took out an insurance policy for his infant son for which he paid the first premium of five Gollars on the boys first birthday, Each year the premium was to in- ereese i've dollars. When the son arrived at a certain age he discov- cred that the amount paid in prem- 1lIus At that time was equal to the amount which was still to be paid before the policy matured. What was the boys age at the time he discovered that fact and at what ege would the policy mature?
