song. In March the eggs are laid
in the shallow water and may be
easily seen at first. They are an
chored to grasses or sticks or some
times left free. A mass may be s
inches in diameter, "a inches
through, containing between 1000
and 5000 eggs. At first the egg mass
is transparent, but within a few
hours it begins to change. A magni-
flying glass will enable you to see the
wonderful transformation occurring
daily, as these egg containers may
be taken home to observe.
About 10 days after the eggs are
laid most Of the tadpoles are out
of the jelly and clinging fast with
the aid Of a pair of suckers to water
weeds or deserted jelly mass. Two
weeks after the eggs are laid open
mouthed, hungry tadpoles are SWIM
ming about, nibbling at water plants
They learn to swim away from dan
ger, eat nearly all the time, resting
in some hidden spot and growing
fast. BY July or August tadpole
life Is over. They hide at the roots
of grasses or in water weeds, learn
ing to be expert hunters of insects
and spiders. Each day they become
more handsome and active. The
leopard frog has grown up. He is a
friend of ours. Please do not use
him for bait.

1t and as Matt stepped quickly 10
the side, it opened fully and the
Arab with the green turban stepped
out.
He whirled as he caught sight OF
Matt and his eyes dilated when he
looked in Mats face. A hoarse
exclamation came out of his beard
and, like a terrified animal, he
backed off and ran up the street.
Whats going on here?" Matt
wondered. The man couldn't pos
sibly recognize him. and what was
he so frightened about? He con-
sidered chasing the Arab but 1t
would do no good if he couldn't
talk to him and had no reason for
chasing him.
He looked through the doorway
into the dark warehouse. 1t was
brooding, dismal place, even in the
daytime and at night the shadows
were twice as deep as the dark
piled shapes twice as huge and for
bidding. Matt took out his fash
light but before he could turn it on,
a hand touched his sleeve.
"Sidi!" 1t was Tauru. Matt flash
ed the light on his face in anger
and relief. What are you doing
here. Tauru? I told you to take the
evening off"
Tauru was almost fearful in his
protestations. "Oh, no. Sidil I
don't like you to go out alone in this
place. I deliver letter, then come
after you. I worry about you'll"
Hard to Be Angry.
1t was hard to be angry with
Tauru. His concern for Mats well
fare and his anxious care. began to
seem funny. He laughed a little and
took the light out of Taurus eyes.
"Tauru," he said. You're smart
kid. I'm going to trust you" Tauru
was ecstatic at that. Il came here
tonight to find out something. To-
day, I discovered that we've been
smuggling in guns and probably am
munition. :"
"Oh, Sidi, that is bad!"
"I know it is! And I'm going to
sec IL SolI 4lil0 dlly IilAilS 1lcic lIldt
will give me a clue"
Tauru clutched at his sleeve. ooh,
Sidi, you will find nothing here. If
they had guns. even the guns would
be gone by now. They would not
leave them here!"
Maybe not" Matt agreed. But
I'm going to have a look around
ANYWAY"
But Sid, I do not like this place.
And I have better idea. I know
many people in this city. I will
find out something for you tomor-
row morning. I promise. BY to-
morrow I will know many things!"
What things?"
ooh, Sidi the city is not so big
that It's secrets are all hidden. You
will see tomorrow"
Matt, in spite of himself, was i'm
pressed. Tauru was very persua-
sive. There probably wasn't much
use in searching the warehouse.
Maybe Tauru could find out some
thing. He was a clever little devil.
Matt let himself be led out of the
warehouse and back to the hotel

body. Between these folds are two
rows of round dark green or brown
spots, each ringed in gold or white,
and below the fold along each side
of the body are two irregular rows
of identical spots. A dark spot
above and in front of the eyes adds
beauty to the wide orange-gold iris
and black pupil. A black band
passes lengthwise through the iris.
From the tip of the muzzle to the
shoulder there is a bronze or gold
stripe. The ground color may be
gray, green or brown. There are no
two frogs exactly alike.
If you should try to capture one
of the leapers, be prepared for his
clever ways of making his escape.
He may be apparently docile to the
situation and you lessen your hold
on him slightly. A vigorous jerk,
swift push-off with the sturdy hind
legs, and you are holding an empty
hand with a nearly closed flst and
feeling rather sheepish.
Perhaps he tries another vile upon
you. He lies quietly in your hand
long enough to calm your fears OF
his escape. Then he begins to sing
A decided musical voice and such a
charming singer! You are delighted
and Immediately plan to keep him
for a pet. Sensing your relaxation
the canny rascal swells his vocal
pouches to their capacity, permitting
them to collapse as the last musical
note dies away. Then he uses his
powerful hind legs to gain his free
dom and, of course, accomplishes
this desire.
Leopard frogs awaken early in the
spring from their winter sleep. In
the shallow waters of marshes, ponds
and streams they assemble at the
margins to join each other in what
may seem to be 4 spring festival a

Georgetown Citizens
Approve Nine-Man
Recreation Board
Group Also Coils for PIor
For Education of
Shut-in Children

The proposed nine-man recrea.
ton board for the District was sup.
ported by the Georgetown Citizens
Association last night in a resolu.
ton which specified approval Of
membership of the board as sug.
gested in bills now before the
houses of Congress.
Representatives of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, ap.
pearing before the House District
Committee Recreation Subcommit-
tee hearings, have advocated
amending the bill to eliminate the
member from the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
This was opposed by William S
Conant, who presented the resolu-
ton before the association.
Provision for the education of
shut-in children under the super
vision of the Board of Education
was urged by the group. The reso-
luton on this proposition stated it
was "the democratic duty of the
citizens to educate all the children
of all the people" In introducing
the proposal Henry W. Draper
called the failure to provide teach
ing facilities for physically handi-
capped children a disgrace"
In another resolution offered by
Mr.. Draper, the association went on
record as favoring appropriations
for clerical assistant to principals
in schools of Is or more rooms. 1t
was pointed out that the heavy
duties of the principals deprive
them of time to carry out the
supervisory and conseling duties for
which they were appointed.
Thomas E. Lodge, chairman of
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board, appeared before the group
to discuss the new liquor regula-
tons which will go into effect
May 81.
Referred to committee for study
and report at the next meeting, in
September, were the proposed con-
solidation of the Police and Mu-
nicipal Courts, requirement of
Theodore Roosevelt Island for a
huge playground site and the re-
striction against truck traffic on

He would see Leigh tonight and let
the other business 60 until morning
A Private Oasis.
Leigh was very beautiful when
she met him in the dining room
with her mother. He'd almost for
gotten how small and perfect she
was. He enjoyed the dinner and
even Mrs. Bannon and wondered
at the warm happiness 1t gave him
to be with Leigh. When the moon
came up, he and Leigh rode out, of
the regular highway to a tiny I'M
named oasis; just a circle of tall
palm trees with a stone wall and
part of a ruined, carved building
This is my private oasis" Leigh
said. Il come here by myself
sometimes. It's like being way out
in the middle of the desert"
1t was seemingly far removed
from any civilization. From where
they sat on the steps of the ruined
building the desert stretched softly
before them: mysterious in its glow
ing silence and the secrets of its an
tiquity. Over their heads the torn
palm leaves moved slowly in the
wind. Their soft rustling was the
only sound in this world of sand
and moonlight. 1t was Mats first
contact with the desert and he felt
strangely moved by its immensely.
He looked at Leigh. She was feel
ing it too; her lips were apart and
her eyes wide as she leaned forward,
seeming to listen.
Matt Discovers Love.
ct read book" she said, "a long
time ago that said, 1.-THE desert is the
garden of Allah. There you will
find what your heart is seeking.
That's the way I feel as If there
were something out there waiting
for me calling. It's funny. I
can't explain it,"
The vague feeling of something
good seemed to crystalline into this
hour. Il know what my heart is
seeking" he said, And out here,
it seems very close"
Tell me, Matt" she said. Tell
me about 1t.
What can I tell you, Leigh, that
you don't know" He felt suddenly
as though she knew him better than
any one ever had there were
things he wouldn't need to say to
her. She put her hand on each side
of his face and kissed him as art
lessly and lightly as a child. But
she was not like a child now, but
strong and comforting :. generous
in her steadfast love. He took her
in his arms and the lonely years
since his mothers death had taken
all human love from him, rolled
away.
In the long shadow Of a pile Of
carved stones, a skinny little figure
stood up and united a donkey that
had been standing In thick clump
OF trees -.
