TT Is surprising how many people
think bat is a bird. Bats are
among the strangest animals We have.
They do have to some extent the flight
OF bird, but they are nevertheless
true mammals Bats are in class by
themselves and they do not have
connecting link with any other king
DOM All of them are very much
maligned because they are really not
better known. They are valuable
night prowlers, for they are especially
fond of insects. They are widely dis
tributed over America as well as over
other countries. Because of their
habit Of sleeping in secluded spots
during our waking hours, we have
missed knowing some very charming
neighbors. The order to which bats
belong is divided into two suborders-
the Microchiroptera, the insect eaters,
which are smaller than the Megachi-
roptera. or fruit-eating bats, found
only in the Old World.
The red bat on whom we are re-
porting, is about the size of our COM
mon brown bat and has a range from
Canada to Florida and Texas west
to Colorado It's color is very differ
ent, hence its name. A small head,
broad ears which are rounded at the
tip and quite hairy, small body,
large wings, long tail, which is almost
half the entire length of the body,
give you an idea of the general ap-
pearance of this well-known resident
Of Eastern United States. 1t has sew
eral cousins who resemble it very
closely.
This is beautiful bat and is almost
as bright as a bird. You may have
known it as the tree bat, because it
is very partial to trees. though 1t
seeks caves in the winter in the more
southern part of its range. 1t has
been known to occupy garrets and
lofts when they are handy and caves
are not
This bat sallies forth early in the
evening, while it is still light enough
for you to see its beautiful red coat.
And it is not at all adverse to enter
ing open windows or doors as it
flashes after an insect. Do not inter-
fere with these insect chasers. They
do 50 much good, ridding the air of
these pests. So industrious are bats.
when it comes to Staying insects for
food, that Texas even protects her bat
residents by law. When you realize
how much trouble mosquitoes can
make for us and how many millions
1t takes to satisfy a bat during
season, think of what a friend the
bat is as a protector against the
malaria-carrying mosquito.
It Is believed the bat seeks his mate

Then Barry's mother came from the
house and his sister Marcia. He en-
braced them both and went inside and
looked AROUND. IT'S grand!" he said.
ITS swell being here. Just like
pictured it,"

claimed. For goodness sake, let's
not argue about that Barries

RARRY'S father got home from the
~ store a little after 6, and when he
saw Barry he greeted him eagerly and
with warmth. They sat down to sup
per and Barry told them about his
travels and heard the gossip Of the
town. Mr.. Thayer said business at the
store was poor, and If Ted had any
gumption he'd come down and help
out instead OF lazing around the
house
"Nuts!" Ted declared I'm going
to work in Boston. I've written for
a Job. Expect to hear any day"
"Phooeyi" Marcia declared. ANY
one can write for job. 1t takes some
one with brains to really get one
"Yeah?" declared Ted. We'll, listen.
you little scatterbrain-"
Shut up!" Mr.. Thayer roared at
them
Barry remained a week He was
home all right. Never a day passed
but what Ted and Marcia quarreled.
This was natural, he supposed.
Brothers and sisters never did get
along. Especially in families where
every one couldn't have everything he
wanted because of lack of funds.
The whole family gave Barry advice
about what he could do now that he
was home Ted wanted to know if he
was still dreaming about his wonderful
future, and Mr.. Thayer remarked that
hardly book had been opened in the
house since he left year ago.
Barry remained week. then hitch
hiked his way to New York. Four
days later he was on a tramp steamer
bound for South America. He felt
good. He thought about his family
He thought about them the way he
used to-never about the unpleasant
things. He thought of the friendly
happy gatherings. 1t gave him
warm, comforting glow. He guessed
he had something that most boys
didn't have. He had q family to
think about the way he wanted to
when he got lonesome.

that it was Independence Day at
home, time for revelry and noisemak-
ing.
Barry left the rail of the tramp
steamer He considered going ashore.
But it was sweltering hot ashore. No,
better to lie here on deck, thus idly
but comfortably consuming his shore
leave. He found shady spot beneath
a lifeboat and lay down. At home all
the kids in the neighborhood were
exploding firecrackers beneath tin
cans, and socking torpedoes at every
thing that showed hard surface. To-
night there would be a big display
down at the park. Barrys whole fam
lily would be there
He thought of his family and smiled
pleasantly. He had thought of them
often during the past year while
cruising around the South Seas as a
deckhand on tramp steamers. 1t was
a year ago next week that he had be-
come fed up with the family and
broken loose. They had gotten on
his nerves 1t seemed they were all
ways picking on him, always wonder
ing why he read so much and wonder
ing what he was dreaming about and
giving him advice about the kind of
job to. get when he graduated from
high school, None of them-Marcia
nor Ted nor his mother and father
understood him, sympathized with his
queer ideas about life They were
always quarreling among themselves
too.
Bat when Barry thought of his fam
,lv he never thought of these things
He thought Of the pleasant happy
gatherings. Things like exploding fire
crackers on Fourth of July and Christ
mas Eve and the big turkey on
Thanksgiving. Sometimes he yearned
to have them back again. Families
were really great things. There was
comfortable bond of dependability in
families. They were the backbone Of
the Nation.
and right then and there he oe-
cided to 60 back. He realized that all
the real, genuine pleasure he had had
for more than year was thinking
about his family. About home. About
the thrills of his boyhood
It took him two months to get home
He had to ship on three different
tramps before he could get one going
