Who's Who at Zoo
5. Galapagos Tortoise

by the early Spanish explorers
after the huge tortoiSes they
found on the beaches.
The sailing men who put
in there later considered tor
toiSe meat very tasty, indeed.
and since the reptiles were
easily captured they began to
disappear from the islands,
It has been recorded that as
many as 100000 of them were
removed in a single year.
Old Salem whalers have
reported that aboard ship the
officers got the tortoise livers,
the sailors the stew.
The one shown here is
somewhat smaller than the
biggest Galapagos tortoises,
which got to be as much as
S feet long and 400 pounds in
weight.
Many things have happened
since this tortoise came into
the world-warS and revolu-
tions. the airplane, the auto
mobile. radio, television, the
bubble dance, the atom bomb.
But old "Mr. Wrinkles" plods
right along and heaven only
knows how many more epochs
he will live to see.

Several years ago. when Ennols
Stephens built and opened his
chummy and charming Tides Inn

time has come. according to Mr..
Stephens, who last week an
nounced the Tides will remain
open until New Years Day.

tinue, with notifications in keep
ing with the season or necessitated
by the weather of each individual

Schools must be organized, or
der must be maintained, routine
must be established, but that does
not preclude a flexibility that
permits the placing of the un-
usual child to his best advantage.
Once the basic program for the
school is set, the variations nee
essary for the wholesome growth
of the odd children can, and
should, be put in practice: spe-
cial programs should be made for
them, their progress watched and
their needs met.
A big child should not remain
all day with children much small
er than he. A dull child should
not be held all day with duller
children but given certain periods
of work with his brighter fellows.
The markedly brilliant child
should have a program that al
lows him to investigate wider
fields Of interest; he should be
given contacts with other chill
dren that allow his ability for
leadership to be expressed In ac-
ton. Natures plan for a child
must be respected and developed
for the child's best good If the
school is to do its duty. A good
school leaves room in its program
for stress and strain.

those conditions she is doing

a revival of the clothes of the

hint that the boyish figure will

slowly building up your capacity

SEWING NYLON.
(Fron1 L. M. r., WGShington.)

I have noticed requests for aid
in sewing nylon fabric. I have
bought a parachute and from it
have made a number of garments,
and find it wears very satisfactory.
Seams do not pull out or pucker.
I do it in this manner: First
use only nylon thread as cotton
shrinks and causes seam to draw
up. Run a very small seam by
hand, then turn and make a double
seam, lay flat and bob stitch. then
turn to wrong side Of work and
again stitch seam down flat. It
is the stitching Of q close fold of
the material which prevents
threads pulling.
Examine an umbrella and see
how seams are made and you will
understand. Only for undergar-
ments. prefer the double seam
ing. I use the threads I salvaged
from the parachute but now find
I can buy No. go nylon thread; 150-
yard spools In black, white and
colors and . box Of IL spools
costs $1.69.
BY all means do not use a hot
iron on nylon as it will melt it.
And do not use nylon thread on
any fabric to be ironed with a
hot iron. Also. I have used we'll
known bleach with perfect safety
on nylon to remove the blue let
ters on the parachute.

The United States will keep

miles from Washington without
special permission involves "reci-

said.
