denly the appearance Of the tracks
changed. They showed that the rab-
bit had begun to bound with all its
might. The hunter kept on the trail
until 1t ended. There he saw blood
stains. and what looked like the
marks of two wing tips.
The hunter could see that the
rabbit had been carried away BY
some large bird. He did not know
what bird had done the deed. but he
suspected a great horned owl. He
had seen two such owls in the region
and he knew their habits.
The great horned owl is q resident
Of many parts of the United States
and Canada. Some persons call it
a ''hoot" owl because OF its call.
Like most other owls, the horned
owl makes hardly q sound as it flies.
When it sees small animal, it
swoops down.
Horned owls capture rabbits, rats,
gophers and insects. From time to
time, they visit q poultry roost and
carry away a few of the hens.

where they will appear to be real
planes half a mile away.
The plans for these Anacostia
models, 20 in number, are furnished
by the United States Office Of Edu-
cation. Each plane requires two
sheets of plans. On one sheet is a
picture of the finished model and
three drawings-top, side and front
views. The other sheet consists of
templates of sections at dif-
ferent points, and outlines OF the
top and side of the fuselage, the
elevator and rudder. and the wings.
A small manual on model aircraft
construction and large chart show
ing systematically the various
steps in the construction of the
miniature planes also are used. One
of these charts hangs in each Of
the woodshops of Anacostia.
The models themselves range
from 5la inches to Is inches in
wingspan. They are built OF a soft
wood such as pine or poplar, but

with the cross-section templates,
which have been traced on thin

Wheels and propellers have been
omitted from the plans, for they
would be invisible on a real plane
in the air. The finished planes will
be given several coats of clear shell
lac and then a final coat Of black
shellac, producing silhouette effect.
All the models will be checked for
accuracy by an inspector from the
Navy.
Boys whose models are accepted

Attractive Belt Is
Made of Flozvers
Cut From Gloves
By KATHERINE HOUIsON.

Here's an idea that Is guaranteed
to pep up any outfit.
You'll need q leather belt for the
foundation-an old one will do. And
ask every one to save their dis
carded colored gloves for you. You'll
need plenty Of colors, for the idea
is to cut flowers out of the glove
material and mount" them on the
belt.
If you're artistic, draw your
flower designs on light cardboard,
cut them out and use them as pat
terms to cut your flowers. If you
can't draw, hunt through the mag
azine advertisements for flowered
materials, trace the designs and
transfer them to the cardboard with
carbon paper, then cut out your pat
tern. The more flowers you have,
the more colors you can use, and
the more attractive your belt will
be. Cut leaves from. green material
and stems from brown.
Arrange your flowers on a piece
Of paper the same size as your belt
until you are satisfied with it, then
transfer it to the belt, attaching
each flower with glue or cement. Be
sure to put the leaves and stems on

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Another Of

Charles de Gaulle to risk unsettling
the war strategy of the United
States by occupying the Vichy-held
St. Pierre Archipelago against the
United States State Departments
"unalterable' opposition involves
the temper Of the Free French forces
themselves.
This is an extraordinary army,
navy and air force which has gath
cred itself together to fight for Free
France under the cross OF Lorraine.
Certainly it is one of the least
ordinary armed forces In world his
tory and. although this reporter
personally has always been made
uneasy by the word hero. he thinks
1t safe to say there are a larger pro-
portion of heroes in the Free French
force than in any other force on
either side Of this war.
Most Painful Job Of War.
For the great majority of the Free
French fighters have deliberately
submitted their personal fortunes
and their families fortunes to catas-
trophe in order to enroll with Gen.
de Gaulie.
In this they have plenty Of COM
pany among the other armies Of the
world, but, mc1 enrolled, the Free
French f1nd themselves saddled with
the most painful Job of this war
the shooting down of their own
countrymen.
The point is. the Allies count on
France revolving eventually against
their German conquerors. And be-
cause Of the popular French reac-
ton against the British assault on
the Vichy fleet. whenever French
men have had to be shot down
since-as In Africa and Syria-it is
Free Frenchmen who are now called
on to do it.

The Free French seem to recognize
the necessity for this, and do the
job with great valor and ferocity,

look the pain of it. It is not a
literary figure of speech to say that.
at least before the desperations of
actual battle envelop them, there
are tears In the eyes Of many OF the
Free Frenchmen lifting loaded guns
against Frenchmen.
In having to fight their own coun-
trymen, the Free French are unique
among the present armies of the
world, no other Of whom is called on
to do more than shoot down stray
quisl1ngs. But perhaps the hardest
test Of Free French courage is the
fact that all these men-even as
their minds and spirits are suffering

with them the knowledge that all
this need not be for them. that, un-
