MAGA ZINE PAGE. Getting Rid of Broken Glass BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ROKEN glass is & source of danger whether it is indoors or out. The sharp edges cut like & knife and the powdered frag- ments when they get or der the skin never disolve, but re- in as irritants until removed. Great are should be taken to protect the ands when picking up glass pieces AWwhich must necessarily be cleared away. ‘When glass articles are broken in- et AN BT, o DN A PUT THE BROKEN GLASS INTO A PAPER BAg BEFORE DIS- [ POSING OF IT. #oors the large pieces can be picked up Engrrh‘ with the bare hands, but it advisable to wear old kid or stout cotton gloves when doing it. The small pieces should then be swept into a dust- pan. To gather up every smallest atom | ©of the glass there is perhaps no better way than to use an old piece of cloth Which can be thrown away when the vork is done. Dampen the cloth well ay it over the glass-littered floor. or carpet. Pat it gently to ma n particles stick to the cloth. Then very carefully lift it and put into a recep- gacle which is at hand. Do not attempt o carry the cloth to the receptacle, b bring the latter close to the place where the glass was broken A paper bag is the best receptacle for broken glass. Close the opening curely and throw the bag aw: ever put broken glass into a waste- sket which must be emptied. Who- ver empties it iable to get b: anitors in apartment hou: be constantly on the lookout for -pleces of glass which careless tenants have dumjed into the refuse without wrap- ping them up. Janitors have been bad- ly cut by such broken glass. Not infrequently glass is thrown on the ground. Fortunately this is less likely to be done now as owners of | automobiles -realize that glass punc- tures tires and a small fragment in the way of a tire means trouble. Little children who delight in delving in the soil sometimes get cut by tiny fragments of glass which have not been buried deep enough or which remain on the surface of the ground. The glass may have come from a broken window pane. In the city, where teams come for refuse, all that is needed is to see that all broken glass is gathered up and put in bags or newpaper and thrown into the waste or ash cans. In the country some box can be kept for broken glass, which when filled is taken to the vil- lage dump and thrown away. Or the glass can be buried in a deep hole in the grounds of the estate. SUMMERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. HIS is the moment of all mo- ments to get a glimpse of some of the rarest birds of passage through the District. ‘The records of the rarer birds in the District present an exciting lst. ‘The ‘fauna and flora in the neigh- borhood of great cities and of college towns always appear to abound in the rare or interesting, but this is due to sharp eyes, and trained, intelligent min Birds about which there is still little known are seldom large or brilliant species, for, of course, the showy chor- isters are easily noted by everybody. The three birds that are perhaps rarest in the District, leaving out of consid- eration purely casual species, strayed | by accident far from their normal ge. are neither large nor splendid, | I fear, are rather modest sing- ers. But there’s an undoubted allure in a rare bird of any sort ar more exciting than in most rare plants, for the continuous motion of the bird tribes makes them gamier than other sorts of hunting.

The last mentioned is little seen, even in the City of Broth- | erly Love, and he is rare enough to be subject to being shot at by those wise enough to know how valuable a specl- men he is. | He is about 4% inches long, sings like the red-eyed vireo, is grayish olive above, lighter on the rump, shading to ashy on the crown, with a white line | over the eves, greenish yellow on his under parts and paler on throat and front. | The mourning warbler was first dis- covered by that sturdy Scotch-American father of ornithology, Wilson. It, too, i in a manner, & Philadelphia bird, hav- ing first been shot there in early June. His song is rather like that of the Sum- mer yellow bird. Collectors are still, in spite of our overstuffed bird sections in most museums, eager to get this species, which is about inches long, with head, neck’and breast ashen, the other upper parts olive, the breast mottled with black; under par They often travel in sprightly and vivacious little groups. Rarest of all is the yellow-bellied fly- catcher who, like the two others, was seen not so long ago on the same day at Laurel. The bird is about 6 inches long, | with upper parts dull olive, darker on the crown, and under parts bright yel- low shaded with olive on the breast, the wing bars pale yellow, with a yellow ve.

ARMER Brown's boy stood per- fectly still listening, on his Yace a startled expression. Some one had just screamed. & loud scream, a scream more of terror than of pain. Some one was terribly frightened. Only fright could cause a scream like that. there at the Smiling Pool who could scream like that? Never had Farmer Brown’s boy heard a scream like fit. He shook hi: head in wonder as he listened for it to be repeated that he might locate the place from which it came. ‘There it was again! Some one was in dreadful trouble. There was no question about it. Some one was in need of help. It seemed to him that that scream had come from a point on the shore of the Smiling Pool a little way beyond where the bullrushes grew. He rushed forward and as he did so he heard a threshing in the shallow water ahead of him and saw Mr. Water- snake struggling with some one, just who he couldn't see at first. When he drew near he saw that it was Grand- father Frog, and he knew that it must have been Grandfather Frog who screamed. It was, Farmer Brown's boy hadn't known that he could scream like that. Few people do know it. It had been so like the scream of a child that even now it was hard to believe that it had come from the throat of Grandfather Hixoy —~ AND KICK AND STRUGGLE AS NE WOULD, HE COULDNT GET AWAY. Frog. But it had and the terror in it was real terror. You see Grandfathi Frog had been caught by one of his long hindlegs by Mr. Watersnake and kick and struggle as he would he couldn’t get aw He was about to be swallowed little by little, but surely, just as he had so often swallowed other frogs smaller than himself, and the fish he had caught. No wonder he had screamed. Farmer Brown's boy had no stick, but he didn't mind that. He knew that Mr. Watersnake was harmless so far as he s concerned. With Grandfather og in his mouth he couldn’t bite if he wanted to and he wouldn't let go of Grandfather Frog. No, sir, he wouldn't let go. He had waited a long time to catch him and he didn't intend to be cheated of the dinner: that- Grand- father Frog would make him. He glared at Farmer Brown's boy and did his best to pull Grandfather Frog into deep But Grandfather Frog was big, | much the biggest frog who ever had lived in the Smiling Pool and the was strong He had screamed in ter- ror, but that didn’t mean that he would give up without a struggle. He was kicking with his one free leg with all his might, and with his hands he was holding on to the grass. My, that was an exciting few minutes there at the Smiling Pool!

Spotty the Turtle was swimming over from the other side. Redwing the Blackbird, Mrs. Redwing, Rattles the Kingfisher, Teeter the Sandpiper and Mrs. Teeter were flying about and shrieking ex- citedly, for they all hated Mr. Water- snake although he never bothered them, living as he did on fish, frogs and toads. Probably it was because he reminded them so much of Mr. Blacksnake, whom they all feared, and with cause, for eggs and young birds are his delight. Farmer Brown's boy rushed forward and seized Mr. Watersnake by the neck, | despite his struggles to escape.

That re- leased Grandfather PFrog. He didn't stop to say thank you to Farmer Brown's bey. He didn’t stop for any- thing. He plunged for the bottom of the Smiling Pool and disappeared in the mud. Then, and not until then, did Farmer Brown's boy let Mr. Watersnake go. He glided away in great rage. He hated Farmer Brown's boy, although the lat- | ter had not harmed him in the least. And down in the mud Grandfather | Frog felt that he loved Farmer Brown's boy as much as he could love anybody but himself. And there you have the | difference in feelings caused by the| | same deed. | (Copyright, 1932.)

EVERY WOMAN ' faces this question “How do T look to other people?” If you have a lovely skin, attractive eyes and plenty of enthusiasm, you need not Worry, So many woman, though, risk their beauty by neglect of constipa- tion. It often causes loss of pep, | sallow skins, dull eyes, pimples. ! Yet constipation can be overcome by eating Kellogg's ALL-BRAN. This cereal provides “bulk” to exercise the intestines, and Vitamin B, which tones the intestinal tract. ALL- BRAN also supplies iron for the blood. The “bulk” in ALL-BRAN is much like that of lettuce. Special cooking processes make it finer, more pala- table. It is not habit-forming. Surely this is safer than abusing the system with pills and drugs—so often habit-forming. Two tablespoonfuls daily will cor- rect most types of constipation.
