"NOW what’s up?” questioned Di- nah, as she watched Betty place one large wooden bor and six smaller ones on the kitchen table. “Mother bought these in Mexico. She gave them to me and said a salad would be nice for supper. I asked her what kind and she said for me to use my imagination.” “Well!” exclaimed Dinah. *“And have you used your imagination?" “Yes,” laughed Betty. “I thought & combination of red and green garden vegetables might resemble a Mexican food.” o “Splendid!” praised Dinah. *“I 1 &3 C—o _ CHas Sy N The BOYS and GIRLS PAGE S0 R U o Crafts—Jokes— Puzzles Caring for Pets BY HORACE MITCHELL.

A mile away on the other side of a creek, lives Arthur Seawards. Art has two tame cottontail rabbits. He found them in a field when they were | very little and they seemed so helpless that he brought them home and raised them. Now they are full grown and very friendly. As Science Sees It The Japanese Beetle. (Pobillia Japonica.) ‘A MAJORITY of the people in the | United States have heard o the Japanese beetle. Many of them have had their yards inspected by Govern- ment agents on the lookout for the | little pests. Laws have been passed |and & good deal of money has been | spent, in order keep it from spreading | all over the country before some way | of keeping it under control can be dis- covered. The trouble all started about 20 would suggest a walk down to the brook to gather some fresh water- cress to add to the garden vegetables.” “That’s a woncerful idea, Dinah! Mother said the other day she loved watercress. Come on, you dear dolly, let me stuff you in my pocket and we'll go down to the brook this very minute.” BETTY'S MEXICAN SALAD. 1 head lettuce. 1 bunch watercress (3 pound). 1 cucumber. g 4 tomatoes. 1 bunch green onions.

Pretty | soon this rabbit hopped up to the inclosure of the Flemish giants and | there was a great deal of nose-smelling through the wire netting. Then the wild rabbit hopped off. Next day he came again and dug a hole under the Flemish giants' cage | and went right inside their pen. The ‘ wild rabbit began to fight with the male Flemish, ard fur flew wildly | until William ran down and separated | them and took the cottontail -ut.| When the visitor was free he turned | and scooted across country for the bridge over the creek. | William checked up on him and he proved to be one of Art's pets.

The territory to be served includes Colorado, Wyoming and parts of West- ern Kansas, Nebraska and South Da- kota. Although headquarters will be | at Fort Collins, Colo.—in co-operation with the State College of Agriculture, where desirable educational and labor- | atory facilities are available in agri- culture and foresty—there will be field work in many localities in the five States. The Rocky Mountain region is one with complex forest and range prob- lems, according to the Forest Service. It includes about 20,000,000 acres of forest land with stands of lodgepole pine, Engelman spruce, ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, on which studies of proper and adequate forest manage- ment are urgently needed. Within the | territory of the station there are 135,- | 1 000,000 acres of range lands, support- ‘ |ing an important live stock industry and valuable wild life resources. The | ! development of range management methods which will restore and main- | | tain the grass and other range forage | productivity is highly important in view of accentuated depletion during | the 1934 drought. Forest and range influence studies will be among the | | first activities of the new station. The | recent severe floods in the Denver and Colorado Springs area and the serious | | erosion following depletion of the grass | and other vegetative cover emphasized the urgency of these studies. The in- formation will be put to immediate use in handling the Denver watershed and other municipal watershed areas, |and in successful watershed manage- ment in general.

MODERN automobile is a wonderful mech- anism. Given proper care, and driven prop- erly, it will run faithfully for many years, without mechanical failure and without accident. It will start when you want it to start, and stop when you want it to stop. It will do almost anything that such a machine could possibly N be expected to do. Yet, in spite, of their mechanical excellence, automobiles go right on colliding and crashing and running over people. They break down and »'sll. = S—J Their steering fails, and their brakes refuse to work. Why? The answer in almost every case is—the driver. His car fails be- cause he doesn't take care of it. It gets into an accident because he is driving foolishly or carelessly, or because he meets some other toulish or careless driver. In other words, the “nut that holds the steering wheel” doesn't measure up to the high standard of the rest of the car. He has numan weaknesses, and those weaknesses get him into trouble. And there's a lesson in that for every boy and girl. Don't take chances where automobiles are concerned.
