CONSERVATION reigned in the
Laytonsville small animal circle
one night last week. Mrs. Johnny
Opposum, an expectant mother,
was suddenly and most myster-
iously missing she had disappear
ed almost before Papa Opossum's
eyes one minute he saw her the
next he did not! Assisted by all
his kinsfolk and friends he hunted
"high and low" for her. He de-
voted hours of search to the Hig-
gins flower garden for it was
there she had disappeared her
trail led to round bottomed stone
half buried in the ground, but
scratch as he might he could not
get under it so how could she?
Come the dawn, member of
the Higgins family noticed the top
had been tipped from the bird
bath, thinking dog seeking
water guilty she hurried out
laboriously lifted the heavy bowl
and there lay a small weak pos
sum mother with three tiny babies!
Before the family council of war
could decide should mama possum
and her family be disposed of to
save future raids on the family
chicken coop or having already
been through hell enough should
she be allowed to live, she solved
the problem by slowly disappear
ing into the shrubbery with her
youngsters clinging to her.
This raised the question among
the villagers do opossums carry
their young in a pouch or is it the
raccoon or do they cling to her
back their tiny tails wrapped
around their mothers tail, which
she curves over her back for the
purpose or is it the raccoon ba-
bies that tide that way?
Finally look at an encyclopedia
showed that the opossum puts the
babies in her pouch Immediately
they arrive later they may ride
on her back indeed some rat-like
species of the animal have no
pouch but carry their young on
their backs from birth, Life in a
country village is wonderful!

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS

lovely homes in Chevy Chase last
Friday, three of the ten guests
were newspaperwomen no we did
not talk shop not much anyway.
But the "acting editor" of a Gull
pepper weekly and the "acting ed
itor of The Sentinel have planned
lots of work" and that there is no
to meet again soon. Both agree
that weeklies are slots of fun and
place like country village for hui
man interest stories.
Have you tried rejecting love"
asked the mother of our acquaint-
ance of her small daughter who
complained that her teacher did
not like her. "Just think of Miss
Jones as some one you love great
ly and wish deeply to please. A
week or so later the child came
home with beaming face 20,
mother it works Miss Jones
loves mel" You see this wise
mother had worked on the princi-
pal of the old nursery rhyme:
Why did the lamb love Mary so?
Cause Mary loved the lamb,
you know.
There is whole sermon in that
story don't you agree? If more
mothers would take the time and
trouble to help their youngsters
solve their troubles and make adj
justments, the Misses Joneses of
the world would have an easier
job, and there would be fewer I'M
manageable teen ayers.

The Dominican Ambassador and
Sonora de Garcia Godoy were hosts
yesterday afternoon, entertaining
in honor of Maj. Gen. F. E. Watson,
u. S. M. c.. and Mrs Watson. The
hosts and their honor guests first
met in Ciudad Trujillo when Gen
Watson was on duty there, and
have renewed acquaintance several
times in Washington and in the
Dominican Republic. Gen. Watson
recently came for station at Ma
rine headquarters, after serving in
the Pacific theater of the war, and
the Ambassador is rather recently
back from his native land. Guests
yesterday included Latin American
members of the corps and many
fellow officers of Gen. Watson, not
a few of whom have had service
In the Dominican Republic.
The weather being perfect, tables
were laid on the fagstone terrace
and in the charming garden of the
Embassy on Sixteenth street and
were laden with tea-time delica-
cies as well as more substantial
dishes. such as baked hams and
roast fowl. Cooling liquids were dis
pensed on the terrace and in the
garden. Small tables about the lawn
we're meeting places for groups of the
guests who fingered through the
early evening to talk and enjoy the
fragrance of freshly cut grass and

Miss Frederick
Tells OF T0ur

People in this country will have
to learn that the people in other
countries who are suffering most
for food and fuel must be fed, not
only as humanitarian service, but
as matter of preserving that for
which we already have sacrificed
and fought" said Pauline Frederick,
news correspondent for the North
American Newspaper Alliance and
the Western Newspaper Alliance,
and radio commentator. She re-
Gently returned from an extensive
trip to 19 foreign countries, ana
was the guest of her fellow men,
berS of the American Newspaper
Women's Club, the occasion being
a luncheon in the clubhouse at 1904
Twentieth street for members only.
Miss Frederick was made to feel
by those in the countries she visited
that democracy means nothing to
the man or woman who is hungry
and that the people of italy
and other countries will follow any
one who offers and gives food,
heat and clothing. She commented
that the Arabs are on the eve of a
rebirth and that when she was
there an uprising was imminent In
North Africa.
The most important things that
Miss Frederick observed during her
trip were the facts that the war is
far from over and the hardest is
yet to come-if the world is to be
spared another and a far worse
war in the future. This will greatly
depend on the willingness of the
people of the United States, she
thinks, to do without generous por-
tions of butter, steaks and other
good and nourishing foods so that
the starving peoples in the other
countries of the world may be suf-
flciently nourished to enable them
TO resume normal view of life and
be useful citizens once more.
