you must search for the mound or
rat house. This Is a heap of sand
close to the roots of a desert plant
or bush of some size. There will be
several entrances, some of them
locked, some open, others slanting
and few as straight down as an
elevator shaft.
Why so many? Perhaps for air
conditioning, since we know the
sands become very hot during the
day; perhaps to confuse their en-
emies. There is good reason and
one that has proved successful for
this tribe. Their numbers attest to
this.
Sociable and friendly toward each
other, the kangaroo rats have even
reached a stage where they have
place to meet-a sort of community
playground. Here they have one
glorious game of sport after an
other. Authorities assure us they
play games which look like leap
frog, high jumping and dancing.
This sort of get-together place Is

These sand racers have been
known as far back as 1848. They
manage to get along with the least
amount of water imaginable. At one
time there we're said to be about
1000 pairs of satisfied, prosperous
kangaroo rats to the square mile on
certain areas of the Mohave Desert.
Some have even estimated that the
area occupied by the big kangaroo
rat is something like 100000 square
miles.
Since these desert children seem
to have conquered conditions which
would make it impossible for many
animals to survive, we find these
creatures able to succeed at life. Re-
naming underground during the
heat of the day and coming forth at
night, they find an abundance for
their needs.
On the desert are many different
trees and shrubs, far more than you
would believe could live with the
small amount Of water coming their
way. There are flowers and grasses
and many. many tiny seeds. The
night hunters get about with a
speed that is almost too much for
the human eye to follow
These harvesters are thrifty. There
is never any waste permitted. The

Maritime Commission
Ban on 'SubVersive'
Seamen Planned
Full Power to Hire Crew
To Be Given Officers:
1000 on Blacklist
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

The United States Maritime Com
mission is prepared to put into
effect plan to prevent future en-
ployment on American merchant
ships of seamen suspected of SUBJ
versive activities by restoring to
licensed officers full authority to
select their crews, it was learned
today.
While the plan has been per-
fected it is being held in allegiance
pending action on the Dirksen bill,
on which public hearing is being
held today before the House Com
mittee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries. This bill provides ma
chinery for handling subverSive
activities among seamen and estab-
fishes central hiring hall system.
1t was said that if Congress indi-
Gates that it will provide the ma
chinery the Maritime Commissions
plan will be held up for the time
being.
The serious shipping situation,
caused by shortage in bottoms. it
was asserted, makes it imperative
that the Government take every
step possible to insure the safe op-
Grafton of merchant vessels in the
interest of national defense. Under
the Maritime Commission plan op-
orators of subsidized ships are to
be informed that they must assure
themselves that the ships are safely
operated, and that this assurance
can only be had by giving captains
the right to select their own crews,
regardless of the seniority lists in
the hiring halls.
1t was learned that the Maritime
Commission has the names of more
than 1000 seamen who would be
barred from employment aboard the
subsidized ships under the new plan.

fur-lined cheek pouches are filled
to capacity. The forefeet are used
as hands, and can they pack those
pockets! Sometimes, when the lit
tie hunter comes across a rich find
of seeds or food, it will not waste
time to eat but stuffs its pockets
so full with lightninglike movements
that you wonder how it can work so
swiftly. Then with great leaps the
little fellow goes home to deposit
the food in the storehouse. Once a
kangaroo rat finds entrance to a
grain bin there is no rest for him
day or night; this opportunity is too
bliSsful to be neglected.

These jumpers of the desert should
be named freak mice" for they are
strange creatures with cheek pouch
es and a habit of sitting up on
their tails and hind legs like the
kangaroos. They are swift travellers
of the desert, said to resemble the
jerboas of Africa.
Really they are beautifully clad
creatures. The soft brown or gray
coat with snowy underparts; large,
bright eyes, and short, round ears
make it easy to remember the jump
er when you next see him. The
sexes resemble each other. The
long, handsome tail carries the back
color, with a ribbon of white along
the sides of the narrow dark stripe.

Guardian ''Newies'
Given 2 Xmas Parties

The young people who sell THE
GUARDIAN each week had a double
holiday treat last month, as a result
of their activities as press Statesmen"
and "saleswomen" for the 40 year old
publication. On two successive Satur-
day nights from 7 to $50 the young
sters, boys and girls, thoroughly en-
joyed the entertainment provided at
two parties.
The Guardian Party
The first pOrty, given by the Guar
dian editor, Maude Trotter Steward,
was staged at Lincoln Halls, 528 Mass.

ated so capably by Mrs. Mabel Scott.
of course, Dr. Charles G. Steward was
on hand and Misses Margaret Hender-
son and Vivian Hodge came to lead the
singing of Christmas carols which re-
vealed many promising voices. Also,
helping the young folks have agood
time, were Mr.. Scott and the two
splendid young Scott boys.
Several rooms on the street floor
were thrown open where music and
dancing and games contributed to
lively evening. Arthur Van Ripper, the
only older "newsie" who managed to
finish his ''route" in time to Join the
party, was head assistant in directing
the games, with the help of THE
GUARDIAN mailing force, Misses
Hortense Smith and Virginia Tabb and
Alfred Averett. Guessing the object
after the first Letter was given and
hat in the ring proved the most popu-
lar games, the latter growing so bois-
ferrous that first aid had to be given
one of the players.
During the evening, George r.
Sicily, Guardian Sportswriter, was
introduced who told about the Bur-
roughs News Boys Foundation on
Samoset St., opposite the Court House,
and arranged to take all the boys on
the following Saturday to the Founda-

Then the signal came for refresh
ments and several rounds of ice cream
cakes and candies were served, more
games were played, till at $3.50

filed out, each with bag of Christmas
candy.

This is all about the Christmas Party.
What party? Why, the one Miss Susie
F. Jones gave for the women of the
Union. You know Miss Jones, presi-
dent of the Mass State Union; we'll,
she had a very lovely party at the
Robert Gould Shaw House, Monday
evening, December 81, 1910. It was
her way Of showing her appreciation
to the members for the loyalty and
support they had given her for the past
months, a wonderful gesture on Miss
Jones' part.
The evening began with friendly
address by Miss Jones, and we all know
how ably she can address a group, tell
ing us just why the party was being
given and wishing all a Happy New
Year. Mesdames Rosalie Smith, Lucy
Brown, Molly Bell, Thompson and Jes-
sic Harris were among the hostesses
and entertainers. Mrs. Smith read a
beautiful Christmas story which was
accompanied with verses from "Silent
Night" sung softly by the members.
Next everyone joined in singing sew
eral Christmas Carols led by Miss Ma
bel Diggs, Miss Jones then served a
very sumptuous collation.. The high
light of the party was Mrs. Mabel Dean
and her games. All the ladies went back
years to the days when they PLAYED
London Bridge" Yes indeed, thev
played "this is the way the elephant
walks" and more on that order. We
were all ten years old again. That is
all one ever is, when Mrs. Dean wants
to "play games" It was a real party
and all credit is due Miss Jones for her
thoughtfulness in letting the ladies
know how she feels about them. The
first result is an added amount of en-
thusiasm on the part of the "Good Will
Committee" which is making rapid
strides toward completing plans for
the Annual Good Will dinner in Feb
ruary, 1911 watch this paper for fur
