some time during the week one was
taken.
The truth is, Old Man Coyote was
so cunning that he stole those ducks
right in broad daylight, in the very
middle of the day. He knew that no
one would expect anything to hap
pen to them then, and so no one
would be on the watch. And no
one was. And as he always TOOK
the greatest care that the other
ducks should not be frightened and
that the one he caught should not
have a chance to quack or make a
sound, no one suspected him. Oh.
he was very sly and cunning, was
Old Man Coyote, and. as Farmer
Browns boy said. 1t seemed as II
those ducks just melted away.
Finally he tried shutting the ducks

NATURES CHILDREN
DELICIOUS MOREL
(MOrchella DelicOSa),

Few Americans realize that every
year our fields, meadows and woods
produce a vast harvest of edible,
nutritious and delicious food which
goes to waste because of our igno-
rance. A little effort on our part to
acquire the necessary knowledge for
identifying the safe species of mush-
rooms would amply repay us for
the time spent.
Dependable information may be
found in books and bulletins where
clear and specific rules are given for
recognizing the outstanding charac-
teristics OF the edible as we'll as the
poisonous mushrooms. Some of the
books have colored illustrations,
which naturally are an excellent aid
for identification. The best rule
known is to study the safe ones so
carefully that you recognize them at
once. Then the dangerous ones do
not fool you so easily. Make it an
absolute rule never to use a mush-
room you are not acquainted with.
In the genus Morcella. there are
no bad members All of them are
we'll favored, though the one shown
here is said to be the best. They
are the first mushrooms to appear
in the spring, and they have wide
distribution. Their chosen habitat
is in moist places and usually there
are enough in one location to serve
several persons.
The cap of the morel is covered
with a network of blunt ridges in
closing irregular depressed spaces
in other words, reticulated surface.
| Young morels are soft buff yellow
! tinged with brown. AS the day ad-
vances, this shade deepens and the
| spaces become spore sacks. The white
stems are short, brittle and hollow
In some species the stem is attached
to the cap at the apex; in others, to
the rim as well. For this reason,
the morels have been classed in two
groups, according to the attachment
of the stem. This is scientific data,
having nothing to do with the iden-
tification of the morel as food.
Morels, as we'll as all other wilo
mushrooms, should be gathered early
In the morning and be cooked a,
soon as possible to retain their flavor

foolish duck, and that shows how
cunning he is.
If Farmer Browns boy misses
another duck tonight he will be
sure that some one is stealing them.
and then there will be no end of
trouble. II don't steal another for
week he will forget all about the
one he has lost and will stop count
ing the ducks every night. Then
it will be safe to take another"
said he
So he waited a week, and, sure
enough. Farmer Browns boy had
stopped counting his ducks. Then
Old Man Coyote d&hed again royalty.
But the next one he took Farmer
Browns boy did miss. and when he
counted his flock of course he found
out that this was the third to disap-
pear, and right away he made up

mean that any should. 1t is not
his way to 60 about Dragging of
what he has done. No, indeed! Old
Man Coyote is far too cunning for
that.
The very next day after he had
dined on that duck he went up to
the duck pond to see how things
looked and while he lay hidden in
the tall grass fat duck sat down
right in front of his nose and
quacked loudly in the foolish way
ducks have. What do you think
Old Man Coyote did to that foolish
and needless duck? No. you guessed
wrong that time. He didn't seize it
and take 1t away for another good
dinner. although he wanted it so
much that the water trickled from
the corners Of his mouth. He didn't
touch so much as q feather Of that

pepper Any of the recipes used for
oysters will be found satisfactory for
mushrooms. The most acceptable,
however, is the simplest, rs the
mushroom must be cooked quickly
and its flavor retained
For centuries. the epicures of Rome
have enjoyed mushrooms. We are
beginning to appreciate their value
as food more and more. Now that
all of us are trying to use our food
supply as wisely as we can, we may
find that in many places an abun-
dance of mamma" may be gathered
each morning.

Uncle Ruy's Corner
By RAMON COFFMAN.

Several questions about astronomy
appear In a batch Of letters now on
my desk.
Can you please tell me-" writes
Ann Smith, age 10, If the eclipse
Of the moon is made by the earth
going between the sun and the
moon? If not, what is 1t? Is there
only one eclipse?"
You are right, Ann. about the
cause Of an eclipse of the moon. The
eclipse Is caused by the earth's
shadow falling on the moon.
The moon looks bright enough
on certain nights, but it does not
have any light Of its own. The
bright light which you see Is the
suns light being reflected to us from
the moon. The moon acts very
much like a mirror in rejecting sun
light to us.
Eclipses OF the moon take place
year after year, but not on the same
dates OF the year. They come when
the earth gets in the way OF sun
shine on its way to the moon.
Astronomers have taken great
trouble to learn about motions of
the earth, sun and moon. They
can tell, years ahead, when eclipses
will take place. They also can tell
whether 1t will be partial or total
eclipse.
There was an eclipse Of the moon
last March. but it was only partial"
in North America. In other words,
no one on our continent could see
a shadow over more than part OF
the moon.
An eclipse of the sun also took
place in March, but it did not
amount to much. 1t was partial.
and even the partial eclipse could
be seen nowhere except in the re-
gion around the South Pole!
The best eclipse of this year is to
take place late this summer. On
the night of the 25th day of August
there Is to be a total eclipse of the
moon People in most parts OF North
America will be able to watch the
moon grow dark.
How far is the moon away from
the earth?" asks Joan Grove.
An answer in round numbers is
"about quarter of million miles" ;"
The distance of the moon from
earth, however, is not always the
same. Sometimes it is bit less
than $4,000 miles away, sometimes
q bit more than 1000 miles.
Kaye McGann asks whether there
sre ANY animals or any kind of
living thing on Mars" Scientists
are not sure about the point. Ger
tainly no animals have been seen
running around there; our tele-
scopes are not good enough yet to
show us even herd Of elephants
on Mars-if there were such ami
mails there.

up all day as we'll as all night, and
then it was the chickens that began
to disappear. Farmer Browns boy
was in despair. He couldn't watch
them all day because there was too
much work to be done.
Its that fox! 1t must be that
fox!" said he. Il guess I've got to 60
hunting after all. I had about made
up my mind that I would put my
gun away and never get 1t out

their wits seldom do have. If the
truth be known, they do not want
them. At least Old Man Coyote
does not seem to want them. Per-
haps he thinks that friends might
give away his secrets If they found
them out, and you know friends

Man Coyote had dined on one OF
Farmer Browns ducks Old Man
Coyote wouldn't have rested for
minute. But no friend. or enemy
either, did know Of 1t, and he didn't
