TIMMY, the Flying Squir- rel, having moved her family | of five babies from the tree in | which they were born to an- other tree some distance away, felt easier in her mind. She was still anxious, but anxiety is seemingly necessary part of mother love. Any-| way, she knew that Farmer Brown's Boy, who had found the other home, didn’t know of this home. The five little Squirrels grew rapidly. It wasn't long before the most venture- some had climbed up to the little round doorway, and there he sat, looking out when his mother .returned from a necessary hunt for food. He saw her coming, and his eyes opened very wide | 8s she glided down from the top of | another tree to near the foot of the| tree in which the home was and then ran rapidly up. “Why did you go 'way down to the | bottom of the tree?” he asked. “Why didn't you jump right across?” “Because, child, I couldn’t jump right across,” replied his mother. “No Squirrel could jump so far as that. Long jumps like that I just made can be made only from a high place 10 a lower one, and we Flying Squirrels are the only ones in the Green Forest who can make such jumps.” | Flitter the Bat flew past. The voungster saw him e seems to go Wwherever he wants to,” said the young- gter. “Couldn't he come straight across from that tree to this one?” His mother nodded. *“Yes." said she. “he could. but he wouldn't jump across. He couldn't do that. He would fiy across.” “Well, couldn't you fly across? Aren't you a Flying Squirrel?” de- manded the voungster. Mrs. Timmy shook her head. *“No.” #aid she, “No, I couldn't fly across, and I'm not a Flying Squirrel, al-' though I am called one. That is Flitter the Bat vou are watching, and he flies. He has wings. He is the only animal in all the Green Forest or any- where in this part of the Great World who has wings. He flies just as the birds do. but he cannot run about on the ground or climb about in trees We Flying Squirrels do not fly at all, but we leap and glide. and that is a very different matter.” “It must be fun.” said the little Squirrel wistfully. “I would like to try it.” At once his mother pushed him back. “No, no!" she said sharply. “You are not big enough yet. You don't know how. You might get a dreadful fall. Anyway, it wouldn't be | safe for you to fly, for Hooty the Owl might come along and catch you.” But the little Squirrel was discon- tented. He had had a peek into the great outside world and he was no longer satisfied to stay quietly in the house. Every time his mother left to hunt for food he scrambled up to that doorway. Presently his brothers and s'sters were doing the same thing. Then one night, when Mrs. Timmy re- turned, she found three of them cling- ing to the tree outside their home and two peeking out of the doorway. She knew then that she could not hope to keep them in the house much longer. The time had come for them to learn the first necessary lessons in jumping “WHY DID YOU GO 'WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TREE?” HE ASKED. | and climbing. Timmy, their father, came gliding down to the foot bf their | tree and climbed up. It was the first time that the children really had seen him. “Well, well,” said he. “How the voungsters grow! It is high time they were learning to jump and climb.” | “That's what we want to do, but| mother won't let us” piped up one of the little Squirrels. | “I'll show you how,” replied Timmy. | “I'll make a little short jump. so you can see how it is done.” He made a sudden spring into the air and stretched his arms forward and out as far as he could. and his legs back- ward and out as far as he could. so that, as the little Squirrels looked down on him. he seemed to be per- fectly flat. They saw him glide down and suddenly shoot up and bring his legs and arms in as he alighted on the trunk of the very next tree. It really was no jump at all for him, but it seemed like a wonderful jump to them. You see, it was their first lesson. (Copyright. 1935.) Nature’s Children Giant Squid (Architenthis Princeps). BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. EWFOUNDLAND is the home of the giant squid. creature that swims through the water rocket fashion. Built along gtream lines, it makes good time. The squids are close relatives to the octopus. Their kinship, you can see, is because of the possession of manj arms. 'The squids have 10. the octo- pus cousins eight. However, the squids are built for speed. and their cousins lead a more sedentary life at the bottom of the sea There are many species of squids found in all the oceans of the world Their fossil ancestors were of a slug- gish disposition and had shell backs. Their descendants are more progr sive. They soon learned that a heavy roof hampered their movements and 20 evolved the present-day, cigar- shaped body. which offers little resist- ance when shot through the water— backard! This mode of travel they prefer. As a reminder, or it may be just a remnant of the shell, they have a spine. So your streamline squid is one or two jumps ahead of his cousin, for he has a most flabby body, al- though some are provided with two small internal rods. Within the squid is the internal “pen,” familiarly known as the “cut- tlebone,” which acts as a brace fur‘ the body when it speeds through the water. By manipulating the siphon, they can dart sidewise; by bending it backward they move forward. The squid's protecting mantle Who Are You?| The Romance of Your Name. BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS. is Carleton TH!: surname is derived from the old Saxon word ‘“coere,” mean- ing husbandman. The English fam- {ly of Carleton is traced to Baldwin des Carleton of Carleton, near Pen- rich, in County Cumberland, where the family was seated from the time of the Norman conquest in 1066. The armorial devices here dis- played are those borne by the Carle- tons of Cumberland and are blazoned “Ermine on a bend sable three pheons argent. Crest—A dexter arm em- bowed proper, vested to the elbow gules, doubled ermine, holding a jave- lin argent.” These are the arms ascribed to Edward Carleton, who set- tled in Nowley, Mass., in 1638. He was born in 1605, the son of Erasmus Carleton, a mercer of London, and nineteenth in descent from Baldwin de Carleton. Edward Carleton returned to his native England in 1651, where he died in that year. His son John came to New England after the death of his father and re-establshed the family in that locality. The Carletons of County Clare and of Tipperary, Ireland, bore arms as follo.s: “Argent, on a bend sable, three mascles of the field. Crest—Out of a ducal coronet, or a unicorn’s head sable, the horn twisted of the first | and second. Motto—Quaerere verum ' (to seek the truth).” (Copyright. 1938.) i | have club-shaped ends. attached along the upper side of its body and opens at the neck. This is where the siphon is carried. The water is breathed into a cavity in the mouth, under its neck. and circles the outside of the siphon. When in a released condition, the muscles are collapsed. The squid has a distinct head. con- nected with the body by a slender neck. On each side is a highly organized eye. which is equipped with transparent lens and circular | iris. To look a squid in the eve is to feel the creature is trying to “high-hat” you. The mouth has s black, parrot- like beak, and is most wonderfully hidden in the center of the 10 arms. Two of these arms are much longer than the others and can be shot out quickly, seizing & victim and placing it within the embrace of the eight other arms before you can say “Jack Robinson.” Each arm has a single or double row of cup-shaped suckers along the entire length. The two longer arms They have pneumatic action and hold their catch by a row of hard teeth. The tongue is ribbonlike, with hundreds of fork-shaped projections, that rasp the fragments of food passed to It by the cenjyal jaws to bits. The squid, under undue excitement or when angry, blushes fiery red. The THE E\VENING STAR, WASHINGTON, TARZAN AND THE FIRE GODS.

HAL SIMS. Low Contract. EAET and West could have made one spade—perhaps two; but you | could never have convinced West that | he couldn't set one club before the | following tragedy was played: Both sides were vulnerable. North opened the bidding third hand, after two passes, with one club, and East | made a distributional double. South passed. West, gazing fondly at his five clubs and with chimeric visions of 800-point sets dancing before his eves, also passed. It was the ten and nine of clubs that prevented North's trying to ease out of the whole affair into a better contract. North merely hoped that his partner did not hold five diamonds to the queen. The king of spades was opened. West, perforce, put on the eight spot. East continued with a small spade, West winning. A diamond shift was Wes''s next attack The declarer cashed the ace and king and put West | right back in with a diamond. West | led his king of hearts and followed with the ten of hearts, East taking | with the ace. After this East was out | of the whole sordid affair. He plaved | back another heart which West trumped with the three of clubs, re- taining the deuce for some obscure reason known only to himself. The thirteenth diamond was led. North | discarded the jack of hearts from his own hand and trumped in dummy with the eight of clubs. He played ‘back a spade. By this time poor West | was undertrumping everything. It was simple enough to play a club back to the ace and pick up the queen— West's one remaining hope of setting the contract. Ordinarily a contract of one club, ' even if doubled and made, would be dismissed with a light ic shrug | and the comment, “What would you | do? 1t is not game But in dupli- cate, as North gloatingly pointed out afterward. 90 points is 90 points.
