one unaccustomed to late hours is

If there should be an air raid,

he said, was coping with trafnc. OF

If you were a game warden or a

through the woods one morning.
Suddenly you stop and stare. There,
beside a log off the path, is a tiny
fawn, shivering and alone, so small
that it cannot even stand so small
that it would be easy prey for the
wildcat that might be lurking on
the other side Of the hill.

in many of the national forests. and
in other places where their dam

Too many beavers are as danger
Gus as too few, for in building their
dams and foraging around the coun-
tryside, they are likely to cut down
valuable orchards, damage crops and
cause the flooding of fiat farm lands
around their homes.
Fish, too, come in for their share
of babying With no one to take
care of them, fish eggs or fingerlings
are often eaten by other fish, and
fish shortages occur in many bodies
of water. And so. in many parts of
the country, there are fish hatch
cries. If you visit one, you will see
for yourself how the f1ngerlings, or
tiny fish, are kept and fed in long,
shallow tanks of running water,
away from the greedy larger fish.
If you go back next spring. you
may discover that the fngerlings
have all grown up. Men in high
rubber boots may be scooping them
into large receptacles like big milk
cans. and other men may be loading
the cans on trucks. Streams and
lakes often must be stocked, and
more often than not the fish that
are dumped into them will come
from the hatcheries where they have
been raised from a pup"
Yes, Uncle Sam certainly plays
the mother on a big scale, and
very necessary role it is. With
his helping hand he makes it pos
sible for little animals, fish and birds
to grow to maturity and live nat
uraQy in land that is no longer
all wild paradise for them. And in
protecting them so that they can
grow up and produce more animal,
bird and fish babies, he helps the
whole country, for he is conserving
his own natural resources for pres
ent and future use.

chisel along as it cuts until the
handle you are making is l inch

holding sandpaper against work as
it whirls.
Bore a hole smaller than the tang

Corner
BY RAMON COFFMAN.

If We could go back 2,400 years
and talk 20 learned man in Greece,
how much we could tell him about
this earth of ours!
Let us suppose that we talked with
Herodotus. He was the most famous
traveller of his time, but he had
knowledge only of Northern Africa,
Southern Europe and Western Asia.
A map showing the world of
Herodotus makes Africa look very
small. The African continent often
was called 'Libya" in the days Of
that great Greek. Today, only a
part of Northern Africa has the
name Of Libya.
Since the time of Herodotus, men
have spread out from Europe to all
parts of the globe. They have found
new islands and new continents, and
have explored jungles, deserts and
mountains.
Most of the great work of ex-
ploring has taken place during the
past 500 years. 1t came after the
compass was employed by sailors
of Europe.
White men have done almost all
the exploring in this period. Span
iards, Portuguese. Frenchmen, Eng
lishmen, Irishmen, Scotsmen, Ger
mans, Italians, Dutchmen and
others from Europe have settled
North and South America. South
ern Africa and Australia also have
been settled by whites but not so
thickly.
The present century has seen the
Japanese making drives to get con-
troll of other countries. They have
not. however, looked for thinly set
tied places. They have sent their
soldiers to conquer lands which. for
the most part, had little space to
spare. The greater part of their
fighting has been done against
China, a country which already has
plenty of people.
When cries for more living room"
go up, we must be on our guard 80
we can see to what extent. If any.
they are just. In 1888, Germany
had about 800 persons to the square
mile. That was more than the aver
age for Italy or France, but it was
far below the average for some
countries which Hitler has invaded.
Holland, for example, had more
than 600 persons to the square mile.
Belgium had more than TOO.
The island of Great Britain, which
Hitler would like to conquer. has
$40 persons to the square mile. The
part of Great Britain known As
England is settled even more thickly
having more than twice as many
persons to the square mile % Ger.
many had In 1888.

Candlemaker.

No one can say that Albert An
derson, IL, doesn't have a novel
idea and it's a useful one, too. Albert
makes candles in various shapes
and forms, patterned after the
gelatin molds sold in stores. And
he makes money, too-includlng

him as a special prize for his letter.
"I get a tin can" Albert, who
lives in Lynn, Mass, explains. 'and
some gelatin molds. Then I take
candle of any desired color and
melt it over a stove in the tin can.
Then I take out all the impurities
and the wick.
Now I pour the wax in the mold
and replace the wick in the center,
holding it up with a stick. When
it has set I tap the mold lightly on
the table and the fancy candle
comes out. I sell them for S cents

or hard Of hearing. Some were born
with this handicap, while others
lost their hearing early IN HE,
mostly by accident or illness.
Miss Helen Fay, supervising
teacher at Kendall, was very help
full in showing me around the CAM
pus. explaining just how the pupils
are taught. and making 1t possible
for me to visit some of the classes.
She told me the students are taught
by the oral method, which includes
speech, speech reading, auricular
training and writing. An effort Is
made to teach all to read lips. Only
those who are slow at lip reading
are taught the sign language by
picking it up from those who use
it. noticed that, during the recess
periods, the sign language was used
freely.
Sense Training.
The first three to five years OF
training are preparatory. During
this period, there are courses in
sense training, speech, speech read
ing. reading flash cards. rhythm
language and number work. Alter
this preparatory work, subjects
taught in ordinary public schools
are offered. The need for prepara-
tory work puts hard-of hearing stu
dents from three to five years be-
hind hearing students.
I watched beginners learning to
talk and read lips. They first learn
to make and distinguish separate
sounds such as tn, bu, pu and Gu.
They learn to distingish sounds by
putting one hand on the teachers
face, throat or chin where the most
vibrations are felt. After they learn
the simple sounds. students learn
how to put them into words. 1t IS
surprising how accurately they learn
TO distinguish words by hp-readlng
and to talk. even though they can
not hear. After watching them lip
read. l experimental and was sur
prised to see how accurately the
lips portray the spoken words even
though no sounds are made.
When most pupils enter school,
they have no spoken language and
not much idea of oral communi-
cation. After about year of train
ing, they are expected to have a
vocabulary of about so words. The
limited vocabulary in the early years
handicaps them in making progress
in their regular school work.
Hearing Aids.
Every one is given audiometer
tests to determine and record the
amount of hearing they have. In
many classes. hearing aids are used
for pupils who have some hearing
left. A microphone is placed in
front of the room to carry sounds
to the students.
Rhythm is taught for phrasing
and accent. was very much in
terested in watching these classes
because thev clap to tunes they
can't hear. They also "sing" songs,
though they cannot tell the differ
ence between high and low notes.
The girls in this school have been
doing their bit for the Red Cross
by sewing, knitting and helping in
any other way they can.
The buildings and grounds are
open to visitors who desire to see
the schools. 1t was an inspiration
to me to learn how these students
overcome their handicap and it was
interesting to talk with person who
is deaf.
