Daddy smiled. This would be bet

How could he get the elephant in

Seek Big Noise
To Scare Fish

The United States fish and Wild
Life service wants to find a noise
which will scare young salmon
away from the huge spillways and
turbines that have been built in the
Columbia river.
For years salmon have used the
river as they come from the seas to
seek fresh water for egg-laying. The
old-timers among salmon have
sense enough to use the fish ladders
and elevators. But young fish, born
above the dam, try to come down
the hard way, through spillways
and turbines. Thousands are killed.
II a noise can be discovered which
will scare the young salmon in the
right direction, lot of fish lives
will be saved.

New Insecticides to Save
Considerable Grain Dar.age

A new and safe insecticide mate
rial, which itself can save more
grain from damage by insects than
that needed for the relief of Europe,
now is in production, and insecti-
cides made from it are being made
available to the consumer in guam
tity. says Glenn Haskell, president
of U. S. Industrial Chemicals.
The new insecticide. which can be
used with complete freedom where
food is handled. IS known as pyre-
none. After three years of exhaus-
tive tests. it has been found effec-
tive against broad range of insect
life.
The new insecticide is versatile in
its application, and can be used in
oil sprays, aerosols, emulsions,
dusts or wettable powders. Its nom
toxic nature makes it safe for use
under any circumstances, Haskell
says.
1t can be sprayed on the interiors
of grain bins, where insects have
been taking an annual toll of 300
million bushels of grain in the Unit
ed States alone, or three times the
100 million bushels needed for the
relief of Europe. It can be used
safely on growing foods, feeds of
animals or anywhere that food is
processed or prepared for human
consumption. It has complete safety
in household or garden use, and can
be used directly, on animals, with
out damaging effect to animals or to
meat and dairy products.

down to read the evening paper
when Barbara climbed on one knee,
and George Henry took possession
of the other.
He let the newspaper drop to the
floor. He couldn't read with pair
of heads in front of his eyes.

bara asked.
This was better than Daddy had
hoped for. He was expecting some

''The three bears, heb, George

They settled back eXpectantly
in Daddy's arms. Their flannel pa
jamas were soft and warm as his
arms embraced. them.
Once. upon a time there was
three BEARS" Barbara prompted.
What could Daddy do? He
shrugged his shoulders hopelessly.

said. tell us about the three bears

Barbara clapped her little chub-
by hands. "Goody," she cried,
what does the elephant do in the
story, Daddy"
But l don't know any elephant
story"
Remember the one you read out
of the book that you wrote?" This
was George Henry trying to refresh
his Daddys memory.
Daddy tried to think over the
juvenile stories that he had written
and had had published. He couldn't
place an elephant story that had
anything to do with three bears.
mo Daddy, it wasn't in the
book" George Henry suddenly re-
membered, you just told it to u.s. -
The easiest thing to do, Daddy
decided, was to make up a story,
then rush the children off to bed.
During the day." he continued,
"the sun shone bright on the cabin
and kept the three bears warm
What was the bears names?"
Barbara wanted to know.
There could be no question about
the names. Whether it was bears,
pigs, ducks or rabbits, the names
had to be the same.
lone bears name was Barbara,
another George Henry, and the
third, Sally"
Sally was the children's eight
year-old sister. She had just start.
ed to take violin lessons, and Daddy
could hear her in her bedroom try.
ing to squeak some notes out of the
G string.
"As I was saying, the bears were
kept warm in the daytime by the
hot sun. But at night when the sur
went to sleep, it got very cold, and
the bears had to keep a fire in the
hearth of the open fire place."
The telephone bell rang, and as
the children's mother came from
the kitchen to answer it, Daddy re.
manned silent. This was a rule ir
the home. No one talked while
some one else was speaking on the
telephone.
