WOMEN'’S FEATURES. Bedtime Stories A Clever Little Worker. | BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Yor what you will a way you'll find, Just keep this always in your mind. —Old Mother Nature. TRIPED Chipmunk had & prob- lem. Yes, sir, Striped Chip- munk had a great big problem. Down underground he had a store room filled with spoiled water- melon seeds. They were spoiled be- eause he had stored them away be- gore they were dry. Now they were *WELL, WELL, WELL,” SAID HE, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?" moldy and decayed. He wanted that store room for other purposes. To take them along the long gallery, the way he had carried them in, would be a lot of work and unpleasant. The problem was how to get them out in the quickest way with the least work. He went outside and looked the ground over. He looked it over very carefully. In fact he studied it. He spent a lot of time doing it. At last he was satisfied. “This ought to be the nearest point,” said he, talking to himself. “If I dig in here I ought to reach that store room the shortest way. Then I can bring those seeds out and get rid of them.” So Striped Chipmunk started to dig. He was digging on the Green Meadow side of the Stonewall and several feet out from it. He had the hole well started when along came Johnny Chuck. Johnny looked surprised. *Well, well, well,” said he. “What are you doing out here?” “Digging a hole,” replied Striped Chipmunk shortly. “What did you think I was doing?” “Digging a hole,” grinned Johnny Chuck. “But what under the sun are you digging it way out here for?” “What do you dig holes for?” re- torted Striped Chipmunk. “Because I want them,” Johnny Chuck. “That's why I'm digging this one,” declared Striped Chipmunk. “Now I'm too busy to talk ™ replied Johnny Chuck watched him for a | few moments and then, seeing that it was useless to try to get Striped Chip- munk to gossip, he went on his way. My, how Striped Chipmunk did work! It wasn't long- before that hole was deep enough for him to be out of sight when he was in it. He would kick out sand and then he would pop his head out for a quick look around. You see he had no desire to be dis- no more satisfaction than did Johnny Chuck and presently flew away. Striped Chipmunk worked hard and fast. You see he did nct feel alto- gether easy. He was running a risk and he knew it. Yes, sir, he was run- ning & risk and he knew it. So he was anxious to get that hole dug 1s soor. as possible. He just didn’t stop for any- thing. “I hope I'm not mistaken,” thought he. “I hope I am holding my direc- tion right. It seems to me that I ought to be pretty near that sfore room by this time.” It was just a few minutes later that his little forepaws, digging swiftly, broke through. The instant they broke through Striped Chipmunk smelled those spoiled seeds and knew that he had reached that store room. It was a clever piece of work and he was rather proud of it. He had a right to be. You see, he could so easily have missed that store room and had | all his work for nothing. Striped Chipmunk didn't even stop | to rest. He began carrying out those | spoiled seeds. Back and forth, back and forth, he went, until every single | seed had been taken out. Then he | dug away some of the sand in the store room, making it bigger. He push- ed the sand up and out of the hole he had made. He didn’t stop until he | had made that little store room clean | and sweet. | What do you think he did after | that? He packed that new hole full of earth until there was no longer an | entrance that way from outside. A | clever fellow is Striped Chipmunk, Yes, indeed, & clever fellow is he.

THIRTY years ago no one knew anything about those tantalizing psychological kinks called inhibitions. Now we know. And as a result pf this knowledge we seem to get along better. Better in the sense that many persons know what they are when they see them. They see them in their neighbors first. And after they have practiced on their neighbors a while they get to the point where they can see them in themselves. An inhibition is & hesitation, & doubt, or perhaps ‘a conviction that one should not do what one has pre- viously resolved to do. On the whole, they represent something sound. At least they hold us up long enough to think things over; to take the prover- bial “look before you leap.” These so- called “kinks” are valuable. They are the outgrowth of experience. They indicate that one takes life seriously and is determined to make the best of it. For that reason you find more inhibitions among the middle-aged and elders than you do among inex- perienced youth. But every blessing has its opposite. Inhibitions can become a habit. And when they do they stand in the path of every progressive step. As Shake- speare puts it, “Conscience doth make cowards of us all” When one gets to that point one is ready for a psy- choanalyst. It is said that these ex- perts know how to bolster up the courage which one needs in this world of dgubts and bafflements.

He got The Old Gardener Says: ‘The calla lily has long been a favorite house plant. It can be started into growth at this sea- son, the fact being kept in mind that it needs rather heavy soil and plenty of water. Calla lillies thrive particularly well when warm water is used. A warm room and good sized pots are needed for them. The bulbs should be planted so that they will protrude somewhat above the soil, and, of course, large bulbs give the largest flowers, provided they are firm and sound. It is difficult to get the yellow calla, often called Elliott's calla, tp flower before April or May, but the bulbs should be potted up as soon as they arrive. ‘The yellow calla can be made to flower indoors in the Winter agd outdoors in the Summer, but, of corse the same bulbs cannot be used for blooming at both sea- sons.

EAPING LENA of the tropic waters is one fish you may want to know more about after you aave seen a family group in a museum. These highly devel- oped gobies are well worth a closer { acquaintance and afford you much real fun as pets. They are not beautiful in form or color. That is a small matter, for what the goby lacks in color and form it makes up for in traits that amuse and thrill the beholder. Mud springers not only walk, but they skip and jump! At first you wonder if your eyes deceive you, but the second glance shows there is nothing the matter with your sight. You are really seeing a fish ambling along the muddy bank, if the coast is clear, jumping over rocks, if pursued, or even skipping along the surface of the water, watching with alert eyes the first opportunity to make a hand- some leap for the shore or a fallen l0g. Right then and there you decide “Here is some fish!” The strange eyes, on short, thick stalks, may be drawn down on a level with the head or elevated and revolved in a circular fashion. Further, one eye may be cacked to watch due north or south, while the other one may scan the sur- roundings for a likely dinner. Yes, one eye may be stationary while the other one revolves! That is not all. The eyes have outer eyelids—some- thing, as you’know, few fish possess. ‘The color scheme of this famous goby is olive brown or gray, with white, blue, silvery, brown or black spots and dots. The method of locomotion is by the aid of the slender body, ably [ TNES TETERON SALP ForSixWeeks. HairCame Out.

You should see this able stalker of insects chase his dinner along the shores. He is very foend of insects. Sometimes he decides to hunt from a partly submerged-log or rock. At this time all you can see of the hunter is his stalked eyes. If you suppose this is not a funny experience, think how you would feel seeing two eyes revolving from stalks a few inches above the water. In the native homelands, it is said, the mother seeks a secluded cave and prepares for herself a little bed. Here she gives birth to her babies, who cpend. their early days in the water, later changing, as do frogs, and be- coming “landlubbers.” If you wish to have a few mud- leapers of your own you must have a spacious aquarium with a sloping floor. ‘This will provide a “beach” for your pets. Salt must be added to the water and the water must be changed fre- | quently. Your market list for them must in- | clude earthworms, flies and other in- sects, besides wee bits of fresh meat. In a short time the springers will be- come used to you and spend their days happily in their inland hotel, though they refuse to bring up their families in such restricted quarters— for which you cannot blame them.
