quarters OF pOuQQ, ana nuuGIy.
We named him PETER Pig" and pro-
ceeded to adopt him as part of the
family, feeding him warm milk ev-
cry three hours from q baby doll
bottle and nipple.
Care and patience won for us q
very wise and interesting pet. For
a home, the pig dug hole in the
ground In our dirt-foor storage
space under the house. He would
carry to this den articles Of all de-
scriptions, from papers to baby dolls.
His menu consisted Of milk, fruit
and vegetables Of all kinds, and
whole-wheat bread spread with ap-
pie butter for dessert. Interesting
but true, Peter Pig would not touch
white bread, regardless of how hun
cry he was. Daddy kept telling us
that an animal is much smarter
than man in planning an adequate
menu by the selection of his foods.
Thus the summer passed, and
fall came, and with the help Of our
ever-normal whole wheat bread
basket, Peter Pig grew until he
weighed about IL pounds. When the
nights became frosty the grounding
came to the door to get out, and he
went to work at once digging
hole for the winter under building
nearby.
We did not see Peter Pig again
that winter until about $50 am.
Sunday, February 2. There was
about 4 inches of snow on the
ground beside his hole. Neverthe-
less, he stood up as only ground
hog can stand, looked around, then
darted into his hole, not to be
seen again until late spring.
During the summer Of l94l Peter
Pig stayed around the buildings
near our house, all the while max
ing regular trips to our kitchen
door for his dessert and promptly
returning to his natural domain. I
may truthfully say that, in the num-
ber OF times he came into the house
for food, he would always turn
around and push the door closed
before coming farther into the
room. Neither would he leave un-
eaten food on the floor, preferring
to hide it in a box or in a corner
for the next time.
Thus passed another season of
delight for all of us. Fall came, and
he fattened, as usual, attaining
weight of about IA pounds before
going in his den for the winter
February 2, 1912, came. but we saw
no grounding. While we feel that
the weather can take care of itself,
we are looking forward to the spring
and summer months, when we can
again have the pleasure Of playing
with Peter Pig.

Great Horned Owl Preys
On Smaller Animals

A few kinds Of birds can look at
you with both eyes at once, but not
many. Most kinds have their eyes
at the sides of the head. Certain
hawks and nightjars can look
straight ahead with both eyes, but
Of all birds the owl he's the best
claim to a full face" Both OF an
owls eyes are turned directly to-
ward whatever he is looking at.
Some owls have eyes of golden
yellow color. The eyes of others are
almost black.
The eyes Of owls are not we'll
fitted for the sunshine. Nature fitted
them to see at night or in twilight,
but bright sunshine dazzles them.
Owls which stray from their nests
in daytime may be "mobbed" by
other birds. After sunset, however,
the owl is well able to take care OF
himself. He preys on small animals,
especially field mice, moles and the
like. Tame owls have been used in
cellars to catch rats and mice. !
Horned" owls have tufts Of
feathers at the top of the head, and
these can be raised or lowered. The
feathers are not true horns, but the
name has become common.

Among Mary Ivonne's friends in

George Bagnall, vice president Of

Maria has done solo dances with
the Ballet Russo" Mary Ivonne
said. She's awfully sweet and
pretty, and she dances three or four
hours every day. Feodor got his
nose broken once, when he was
acting In a battle scene. Mr.. Hemp
steads daughter Avery used to act
in plays with me at my house. Mr..
st. Clair was our next-door neigh
Dor. And Mr.. Bagnall's son
Michael was one Of my crowd. Once,

they made ocean scenes. It has big

How does your mother take It
when she hears you screaming or
crying and then finds out that you're
only practicing acting before your
mirror?" I asked Mary Ivonne.
1T all depends" was the answer
THE maddeSt she ever got was once
when I was taking a bath and pre-
tending that somebody was stab
bing me. I was screaming, and she
came a-running and beat on the
door. thinking something terrible
had happened to me.
But the other day, her reaction
was altogether different. I put red
nail polish all over my wrist. and
made believe I had been injured and
was bleeding to death. But either
the polish was too pink or else my
acting was weak, because she wasn't
fooled at all. She just laughed"

behind the davenport. Then 1t
takes IS minutes to get everything
unscrambled. Five minutes later
you have to do it all over again!
Well here's how solved the prob
lem. All it took was an empty tin
can with a lid, some paint, and a
picture,
I used an empty 2-pound coffee
can, because my mother was working
with big ball of yarn. A 1-pound
can does well enough for smaller
ball
First, I punched hole in the
center of the lid for the yarn to
run through. I used an ice pick,
and punched the hole from the bot
tom of the lid so that any ragged
edges of tin would be on top where
they wouldn't snag the yarn as 1t
ran through.
The idea is to put the ball Of yarn
In the tin can, pull the end OF the
yarn through the hole in the lid
from the under side, and put the lid
ON the can. Then when your mother
sits down to knit, she puts the can
on the f1OOr beside her, pulls OUT Cne
yarn through the hole, and the ball
Of yarn stays put.
After I punched the hole through
the center of the lid, hammered
the ragged edges down to make
them as smooth as possible. Then
I enameled the lid black and painted
the can rose.
If you care to, you can dress
up yours by gluing magazine pic
ture on the can and shellacking it.

government school for four. The
studies were entirely academic and
diff1cult and were not broken up
with art and music and other sub
jects that might have afforded some
degree of entertainment.
The children Of Austria celebrated
Christmas on December 6, said Ger
trude. On that occasion they ex-
changed small gifts and had good
time in general.
In March, 1898, German troops
marched in and Austria was an
nexed to the German Reich as tho
state Of Ostmark. After that Ger
trude and her friends were afraid.
When they went out on the streets
they had the fear Of never return
ing home again.
Because Gertrude is Jewish she
had to 60 to a different school and
her fathers business began to fail.
There was only one thing to do
come to America. To do this they
had to prove they had paid their
taxes and owed no money in order
to get exit permits. This done. Ger
trude, her father and mother left
their conquered country.
From Austria they took q train
through Germany to Holland and
then to Rotterdam. Gertrude said.
ROTTERDAM was just like heaven
because we could buy all the food
and clothes we needed" From Rot
terdam they boarded the liner
Statendam for safe voyage to
America.
Gertrude's first impression of New
York was that of wonderment as
she gazed upon towering skyscrapers
and crowded scenes. She remained
on the boat for four hours after it
had docked in New York Harbor
because her uncle had to come on
the boat to get them. He vouched
that he would take care OF them
until her father got a job.
After he succeeded in getting one
in Washington the whole family
came here. When Gertrude arrived
she knew little English, but her
relatives and friends talked it all
the time, so eventually Gertrude
learned it. When Gertrude had
settled down here she entered Bar
nard School and later advanced to
Mcfarland.
Gertrude's hobbies are swimming,
bowling and ice-skating. AS far as
America is concerned, Gertrude says
she loves the people, the Govern
ment and the customs" and will
stay here for the rest of her life.

mother entered the room. I'm prac-

sorry II I frightened you, Mama" I"
Acting has been Mary Ivonne's
principal interest in life ever since
she learned to talk. "As nearly as
I can recall" her mother told me,
"she started acting when we were
living in New York. She liked to
impersonate the ice cream man in
Riverside Park, she would put a big
box on her shoulder, just like his,
and 60 around shouting, Ice cream!'
She loved to mimic her grandfather,
too, striding back and forth with her
head lowered and her hands clasped
behind her back, just as he always
did when in deep thought"
The Axelsons came to Washington
about a year ago from Hollywood.
Since then, Mary Ivonne has made
