ing BANKRUPTCY as result Of the

stations have been forced out of
business. and others must follow
suit unless conditions improve.

morrow night is the proposed legis-
lation to boost the District gasoline

Natures Children
Great Vampire Bat
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

ny LILLIAN COX ATHEY,
Bats are animals of nocturnal
habits, and because they are of the
night their habits have been more
OF q mystery than those of animals
we see during the daytime. Many
false reports have been circulated
about our only flying mammal. The
small brown bat fitting through the
twilight hours Is as harmless as can
be-yet the fear that people have
for the skillful dodger is groundless
and In some cases childish.
In the United States all of our
bats are insect eaters and are per-
fectly harmless. None of them care
for flesh or fruit. Their tiny teeth
are not strong enough to draw
blood.
The vampire bat is the dreaded
bloodsucker, and though he Is no
more than inches in length and
does not look any more ferocious
than the mild-mannered or harm
less type, he does attack human be-
ings.
These bats live in the forests Of
tropical America, and they have a
covering of reddish-b fur. When
they are hungry, or We should say
thirsty, they sally forth in search Of
animals or human beings. They are
able, with their very sharp teeth, to
sever small blood vessel by cutting
the skin horizontally instead of ver-
tically and this does not produce
pain. If the vampire attacks a
human, it is his big toe he goes after,
and in the country where these bats
live this part of his victims an
atomy is usually exposed.
The big toe bleeds freely, and the
vampire sucks up the blood, filling
a pouchlike extension of the
stomach to capacity. For the bat
does not 60 forth seeking victims for
the sake of puncturing their bodies
aor blood, as SO many would have
you believe. Only when the reserve
supply has all been used up does the
animal seek another reinforcement.
Because the head of bat slightly
resembles that of mouse, the Ger
mans gave to it the name Of filter
mouse.
The fur covering the bat is soft

flying squirrels merely glide through
the air. The fore limbs Of bats are
provided with four very long fingers.
Between them is stretched the wing
membrane and this membrane also
extends along the side of the body,
between the front and the hind
limbs and the tail. The thumb is
free, ending in sharp claw, used for
clnglng purposes. The free hind
toes have strong, sharp claws, en-
abllng the bat to grasp an object
and hold fast as it suspends its
body upside down.
One or two babies are born each
year. The mother takes them with
her, swung around her neck, until
they are old enough to be hung up
and left at home.

and silky and some one has said
there are over a million and a half
hairs, each hair being made up of
funnel-shaped segments. This fur is
often the residence of parasites. But
these are troublesome only to the
animal and not to human beings, as
Is so often claimed.
During the day all bats sleep in
dark places, hanging upside down.
These creatures are truly the only
animals that actually fly. So-called
