KY MOST exciting adventure
M happened about 6 years ago
VI when I was 10 years old.
4 4 We were then living in
Philadelphia. and about half mile
from our home was a railroad termi-
nal.
The terminal was at the bottom of
a very steep hill-pebbles, jagged
rocks and a few scattered bits of
vegetation covering an almost sheer
drop. The top of this hill was the
Stamping ground" of the neighbor-
hood boys and girls. who delighted in
watching the big engines that were
constantly puffing in and out OF the
terminal We called the hill Suicide
Slope"
One Halloween the bunch was en-
joyins its favorite pastime, and at
the same time listening to me boast
that I could scramble down the hill
and walk the railroad ties. Finally.
one Of the older children announced
that, since I was a junior member Of
the crowd and as yet untried. would
have to make good my boasts.
TNWARDLY quaking, but outwardly
stout. I strobe to the edge Of the
slope and started down. My luck
held for a third Of the way down,
then, suddenly, the earth gave way.
I remember nothing except a great
rush of sound, flash of pain, then
blackness.
I awoke in my bed. A big police
man was there to tell me that I had
been rescued by the fire department
from the tracks of the "4:30 Special; !;
that had cost the city $500; that I
had suffered two black eyes, three
missing teeth and minor cuts and
bruises on various parts of my body,
and that the whole bunch was wait
ing to welcome me as full-nedged
member.

~ NE day last spring my brother
4 and were invited to spend
the day with friend who
~ lived near the Capitol
After sightseeing on Capitol Hill for
a while We decided to 60 down to the
subway. This is small train running
underground from the Capitol to the
Senate Once Building. 1t is there
to save visitors, and especially Sena-
tors. the trouble of walking from one
building to the other.
We rode over to the Senate Office
Building and decided not to get OF.
because we didn't know exactly where
we were. Two men got on the train
and rode to the Capitol. After they
got of We asked the engineer" if
they were Senators. He replied:
The one with the gray suit is"
WE RAN after the Senator. down
several corridors. and caught him
just as he was about to get in the
elevator.
May I have your autograph" I
painted.
Yes" he said. do you have a
pencil?"
I didn't have one. and neither did
my companions. But the Senator
finally found one in his pocket. He
wrote his signature on q diagram of
the Senate. After he had gone We
looked at what he had written. 1t was:
Pat Harrison, Miss"
You can imagine how thrilled I was!
Evening star., 1938-10-09

Last summer, when We were visit
ing in New York. We happened to
pass An antique shop. Because the
friend we were with enjoyed browsing
among old things. we went in. and I
began to look for odd or fantastic dogs
Finally I found tiny French dog
made of green and red glass. 1t wasn't
so much his shape as the expression
on his face that attracted me to him.
Although he was expensive, he became
mine-thanks to the friend who loves
antiques"
A MOTHER collector Of miniature
dogs is Maxine Anderson, IL. of
6l4 Sheridan street NV, Paul
Junior High School pupil.
II have about 50 dogs Maxine said
including a very small black metal
scotty from Niagara Falls. also have
some from the San Diego Fair Of
1886"
One Of Maxines favorites is a Scotch
terrier purchased In Watkins Glen,
N. Y. He is inches long and 4 inches
high.
But the one I like best of all"
Maxine declared. is my real, live dog

7 HAVE very unusual and interest
ing pet. 1t is small, green lizard
from Cuba called a chameleon. 1t
is about AZ inches long, including a
tail as long as its body. I bought it
last May at the circus.
1t is a very easy and inexpensive
pet to keep. 1t eats flies and other
insects that catch for it. l keep it
in a wire cage that my father built
for me. I put a small dish OF clean
water in the bottom of the cage; the
rest of the bottom cover with leaves,
adding fresh leaves from time to time.
The chameleon can change its color
from brown to green at will. 1t can
change to any shade of brown or green
corresponding to the object 1t is on,
and each change takes about a minute.
1t is very interesting to watch these
changes.
So far, it does not seem to mind the
climate in this region, and I hope 1t
does not get too cold this winter.

MY MOST exciting adventure oc-

MY MOST exciting adventure oc-
Cured when I was about years
old.
My sister Mary, who was older than
some of the other children of our
village, always liked to push the ice
truck. One morning I thought 1 was
old enough to push the truck. too. So
I got hold Of the back of the truck
and started to push
I got my fingers caught in the back
of the truck and could not get them
out. I was dragged about 200 yards.
The truck was awfully low, and my
knees dragged the road.
Two of the other children ran after
me. My mother and sister and the
other children were scared, and so
was I. My mother came downstairs
a-running because she heard me
crying
For about three weeks went around
with my hands and knees bandaged.
I have never tried to push the truck
since then: that taught me a lesson.

Making Indoor Garden
BY RAY J. MARIAN.

COMMON table salt is used to form
the snow" which banks the hill
sides and the treetops Of this minia-
ture indoor garden, made in saucer
or shallow china sauce dish. Such
gardens are very easy to make and
interesting to watch grow.
Secure shallow dish, then place
several small humps of coal, or an odd
shaped cinder in it. Then cut several
sprigs from an evergreen tree and ar
range them artistically between the
pieces of coal, to represent miniature
trees growing on wooded hillside
If you wish, tiny houses and figures
of men and animals may be cut from
cardboard and arranged in the garden
Now mix solution consisting of
five tablespoonfuls of water, two tea
spoonfuls of ordinary table salt and
one teaspoonful OF laundry bluing.
Pour this mixture over the coal. In
about II hours chemical reaction
takes place and the snow will begin
