just as he had been doing when Danny Meadow Mouse first saw him, only he did it In a much more hurried way. Too see, he was looking for a fat Meadow Mouse now and not for sweet little beechnuts which would lie perfectly still when he had uncovered them. Presently be came around behind the tree where Danny was hiding. Danny darted around the tree trunk to the other side. Buster saw him go. “Ha!” exclaimed Buster. “So there you are!” and rushed around after Danny. Danny darted around to the place be had just left. Now. Buster Bear, as I said before, can move quickly, but he cannot run around a tree trunk as fast as a little Meadow Mouse can.

Because You Came to Our Street By ANNE CAMPBELL . BECAUSE you came to our street. The trees wore greener dress, And every yard in our street Was drenched with loveliness. The birds sang sweeter songs this year. And every child was gay. There was a joyous atmosphere Because you blessed our day. But when you go from our street. The leaves will flutter down. The sun will set on our street; The blossoms all turn brown. The autumn rains will fall . . . The storm Will tear the nests apart And only memory will warm Your seal upon each heart For we have stored on our street A thousand summer joys To comfort hearts on our street When winter gloom annoys. And always though the clouds are black, And bitter winds pursue. We will be ever gating back With summer dreams of you 1 Copyright—WNU Service.

WNU Service, Homemade 'Quake* The experts of the United States coast and geodetic survey have constructed a machine that will make synthetic earthquakes. There is a reason. Although scientists can trace a quake to Its birthplace, and, from thousands of miles distant state fairly accurately Its slxe, they know comparatively little about the way In which structures are affected, or about earthquake-resisting materials. This machine vibrates real as well as experimental houses, and a sensitive needle resting on a sheet of graph paper shows how the tremor Is communicated to the building. So far they have discovered that it is not the tallest houses that suffer most but those of about three or four stories. Within a few years it Is hoped that sufficient will be known to be able to build structures that will survive all but the worst earthquakes. MOSQUITOES inject Polson Mosquitoes live on human blood.

Common Duty to Wage Warfare on House Fly Effort to change the name of the common house fly to typhoid fly Is the motive behind a movement started by Dr. L, O. Howard, government entomologist The name, house fly.” is too tame. The fly is accepted as a nuisance, but not considered as the dangerous insect It is. Government health authorities have proved that the common flies that buzz about homes and kitchens carry bacteria which can infect human beings with at least a dozen diseases in addition to typhoid. Doctor Howard states, “Even if the fly Wbre a creature difficult to destroy. the failure on the part of people to make any effort to reduce its number could properly be termed criminal neglect As It Is now an easy matter to do away with flies, this neglect becomes an evidence of ignorance. ... It Is the duty of every individual to guard against the occurrence of flies upon his premises." As Doctor Howard says, it Is no longer difficult to rid a house of flies. A reliable fly killer when sprayed In a fine mist is the most effective method of ridding the house of files and other Insects.
