hard. 1t took me a little over a
month to get them.
Then luck was with me. A friend
OF my sister came down from New
York with about 300 of them for me.
Then I had to begin filing them so
wouldn't have to look through all of
them to be sure I didn't have any du-
plicates.
Nine hundred! I'll have to get
the next 100 soon. Sure enough I got
them!
Where's the telephone?' had to
call up my friend to find out where to
send them. And this is what I heard:
I haven't the least idea where you
should send them
Were my ears deceiving me? NV
hopes went down and I decided to get
rid OF the covers, so they wouldn't re.
mind me of that frightful disappoint-
ment. I had never had such a dis
appointment before; yet, working to
get the match covers provided me
with an interesting summer and
really had a good time"

- AH1BIT No. ! In Gar Cham
- berlin's Indian collection Is an
Indian headdress he made
- himself. And it cost less
than 81.
Turkey feathers procured on q farm
during the Thanksgiving season sew
eral years ago were attached to an
old brown felt hat in a design char
acteristic Of the Sioux Indians.
Except for the red feather tips and
some white down worked into the
headpiece and beads used In a beaded
band across the forehead the material
IN the headdress cost nothing.
The finished product is a real work
Of art.
In making the headdress Gar, who
Is II and who lives at Williams lane
in Chevy Chase, Md, had the benefit
OF knowledge about Indians.
Several years ago I was very much
interested in the subject" he explains.
Vacations spent in Wisconsin en-
abled him to visit some Of the Indian
reservations. He began to study In
dian customs and symbols and then
started collection of Indian objects.
Items in this collection include nu-
merous arrow heads. some of which he
found himself: skull cracker" which
Is an egg-shaped stone attached to a
handle covered with rawhide; two
tom-toms, an Indian pipe, a beaded
arm band and several fine pairs of
Indian moccasins.
Gar further developed his hobby
BY learning how to do beadwork, and
ne says that his ambition Is to make
q really good pair Of beaded mocca-
sins. A pair he did several years ago
are worn out now
once he persuaded his mother to
give him discarded leather Jacket.
and after he cut out the sleeves and
painted in Indian symbols on both the
back and the front he had a splendid
addition to his Indian collection.
The headdress, however, remains his
most picturesque item.
The turkey feathers, which sweep
upward around the front Of the crown
and then dip in the back, glisten and
shine-thanks to good cleaning they
received when Gar first got them.
I put all Of the feathers in q
cheesecloth bag and then poured q
cleansing fluid over them" he said.
When they were dry they were all
right"
Approximately 80 turkey feathers,
evenly matched IN length. are used in
the headdress. Each Of these IS tipped
with red feather and bound at The
base with a strip OF square felt,
which is then covered over with a
strip Of leather.
Il made half-inch slots in the old
brown hat to stick the feathers
through" he explained, "and then I
held them in place by running
white string through each quill. The
string Is hidden by the white down,
which is at the base Of each Of the
turkey feathers.
Then to make it look finished I
covered the rest of the crown of the
hat with black down."
Colored leather streamers with tiny
brass bells on the ends complete a
very gay and colorful effect.

the benent OF the Langdon School
for Crippled Children.
Doris. who is pretty and very lady,
like when she's just chatting with a
stranger, happens to be a rather re-
markable young actress. too, and once
she makes up her mind to be pirate
her voice becomes harsh and her lips
curl in scorn and she flashes her sword
with the lust Of killer at the thought
Of fighting duel.
Learning to fence was the hardest
thing she had to do to prepare for the
role Of Capt. Hook, Doris declared.
All the pirates in the cast took a
course OF lessons in fencing in order
to make. a convincing scene out Of
that battle near the end of the play
when Peter Pan and his friends finally
overcome the pirates, but not until
there has been some good blood and
thunder fighting.
With the aid Of a costume, making
up to look like pirate wasn't so
hard, Doris said
CAPT HOOK will wear a pluned
hat and coat with lace cuffs
and will look very splendid. You'll
know he's wicked. though, by the way
his mustache curls and the way he
walks and most of all by the cruel
hook he wears on the end of his right
arm where his right hand should have
been. Capt Hook lost his arm when
crocodile bit it of, you may remem-
Der, and in the Never Never Land" he
would have been eaten up altogether
by the crocodile many times but for the
fact that the beast had swallowed a
clock. After that Capt. Hook always
knew his enemy was near when he
heard the clock ticking.
Except for two other girls, all of the
other members of the pirate gang
which will play in Peter Pan" will
be men and boys, but Doris holds her
own with the best Of them.
Having acted in plays for several
years now, Doris said she has played
from Alice in Wonderland
to Satan and she likes wicked parts
because they give her good expert
She's learned to pitch her voice
low so that when she's called upon to
play the role of a man the audience
forgets that she's a girl.
The pirates in Peter Pan" are only
a small part of the company which
has been assembled by Rose Robson
Cohen for the production Of the play,
however.

by THIS time the fish tank may be
getting little out of order. It's
sides may be covered with greenish
film. The water may be discolored.
The plants may be growing too fast.
Here's what to do:
Get more snails! They keep the in
side of the glass clean. They eat the
plants, too, so you ought to be careful
not to have more than the tank can
support.
Too heavy a growth Of plants pre-
vents seeing the fish and too few will
not aerate the water sufficiently The
green film Is really made up of plants.
Algae Is their pronounced like
"Algy." They furnish food for the
fish, help to aerate the water and
don't do bit Of harm except to stop
the view.
To clean algae OF quickly,' use some
cheesecloth ON q stick. But the snails
will take care Of 1t well enough II there
are enough suais.

~ STATUE OF GEN. ULYS-
SES S. GRANT WE'RE RAISED
BY THE GRAND ARMY OF THE
REPUBLIC FROM UNION SOL
DIERS WHO HAD SERVED UN-
DER GRANT. BY FRANKLIN
SIMMONS, SCULPTOR. IT WAS
ERECTED AT THE WESTERN
EXIT OF THE CAPITOL RO-
TUNDA AND UNVEILED IN 1900.
THE early life Of Gen. Grant
= was similar to that Of many
another American boy of his period.
Born April AZ, 1922, at Point
Pleasant, Ohio, the son Of a farm
er and tanner, Grant disliked the
tannery but worked at intervals
on his fathers farm when he was
not in school. Later he obtained
his fathers consent for him to be-
come a soldier, however, and at the
age Of II he received an appoint
ment to the United States Military
Academy at West Point.
Shortly after he was commits
stoned Grant joined Zachary
Taylor's forces in the Mexican
War and later saw service on the
California and Oregon frontiers
before he resigned from the Army.
At the outbreak of the Civil War
he again obtained a commission,
and when at length his ability was
recognized he entered the fight
with q vengeance, his theory be-
ing that it was better and more
merciful to end the conflict as
speedily as possible. However. his
tory records his generosity at Ap-
pomattox, when at the surrender
Of Gen. Lee and his army he in
sisted that the Confederates keep
their mules and horses In order
to work their crops.

most Of the time. He chews his cud
like COW.
Every time We go out Of his sight
he runs after us and cries, 'Na-a-a,
Na-a-a.' He follows us around like
. dog.
When we gave him a nipple bot
tie he went right after it, but he did
not like cows milk. He wanted goat
milk. We call him Rocky Billy. When
we bother him too much he nips us.
He eats oats, apples and green
foods and all Of our bushes. When we
try to make him 60 to bed and he
does not want to go he holds his
feet stiff to the ground and we can
not move him, so we have to carry
him.

skipper put his cup down and looked
at the clock on the bulkhead. You'd
better get busy now, boy" he said,
I'VE got several small towing jobs and
they'll keep us humpin'."
IT WAS late afternoon before the
Gloria H. was again nosing in
toward her home dock, the work
finished. Tom stood on the forward
deck, the heaving line ready in his
hand. On the dock he could see the
squat figure of Jack, waiting ex-
pectantly for the tug to come closer.
Tom set his jaw determinedly. IN
put this line up there this time" he
said to himself. "or bust trying!'
Hi, Admiral" came derisive shout
from the dock. Dye think va can
do it today?"
His face white. Tom threw the line.
As it snaked through the air he
watched it apprehensively. The line
few true, but it fell short, and as it
hit the water Tom groaned. Why
didn't I wait minute?" he berated
himself.
On the dock Jack laughed contemp.
tuously. Why don't you jump over
board, chump?" he shouted. You're
no good there"
Quickly hauling in the line, Tom
managed to throw it up again before
the tug got close in, and resolutely
paid no attention to the gibes Of
Jack, who secured the mooring lines
and walked away Laughing.
That evening after Capt. Olsen left,
Tom stood on the forward deck prac-
ticing with the heaving line. Prom
the tiny galley of the tug came the
appetizing odor of a cooking stew.
As he made up the line after a sue
cessful throw he looked up and saw
the two girls who had just missed
being caught between the dock and the
tug the day before. The dark-haired
girl was now rowing the boat. with
the outboard trailing silently behind.
As they came closer the girl at the
oars turned and shouted to Tom.
May we come alongside?" she
called
Tom grinned and walked down the
deck. Come on" he shouted, you
can tie up here"
THE dark-haired girl rowed closer
and expertly brought the light
boat alongside the tug. Both girls were
dressed in smart blue denim jackets
and slacks, and as Tom tied up the
motor boat they climbed nimbly on the
deck of the Gloria H.
Smiling at Tom, the dark one asked,

"Dear Sir:

into an old house in Fairfax County a
few years ago. and many things an

in the walls.
$50 she bought some wire cages and
couldn't catch any. Yet every night
we were kept awake by them running
around and across the space between
the floor.
"One day mother heard them in the
lam closet under the stairs in the liv-
ing room. So that night while we
were all sitting around the fireplace
she told dad about them. He got the
fire tongs and went looking for the
nest.
I'VE found nest and he killed two
tiny animals and when he took them
out they were not mice at all but fly
ing squirrels. We looked and found
three more. They were not hurt at all.
The third was so dad killed it,
I'VE put the two in wire cage and
before long we had them very tame.
They would come up to the cage and
eat walnut kernels from our fingers
and we soon learned what they liked
best to eat.
I'VE had many hours Of fun with
them, and never grew tired Of watch

my MOST EXCITING
ADVENTURE"

YOU'VE read about children being
rescued by dogs, haven't you?
Well. here's story about such a
rescue by Stanley Levy, 13, of Ill
Philadelphia avenue, Takoma Park,
Md:
Dear Sir:
when was 10 years old spent
my vacation in Ocean City, Md. One
morning I set my heart on going fish,
ing. Immediately I trotted of to
Capt. Tolbott, who had bait to sell.
Also he had some boats and a small
pier.
"Chessie. a Chesapeake Bay dog
who could catch fish in his mouth,
was my only companion. We had
