WOMEN 'S FEATURES. Bedtime Stories Striped Chipmunk Has Shock. ' BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Alas. the ones we most respect In mischief we sometimes detect. —Old Mother Nature. T IS sad but true. Every now and then we find some one of whom we have not the slightest sus- picion engaged in mischief of one sort of another. Take Striped Chip- munk, for instance. Everybody likes Striped Chipmunk, or almost every- body does. He is bright, of a happy disposition, industrious, thrifty and delightfully independent. Of all the little people in the Green Forest, Striped Chipmunk is one of the most delightful. Somehow it is difficult to think of him as being in any real mis- chief. But, like the other members of his family, which is, you know, the Squirrel family, he has a liking for meat. Yes, sir, Striped Chipmunk has a liking for meat, and he seldom misses a chance to get it. It is this desire for fresh meat that sometimes Jeads Striped Chipmunk into real mis- chief. Some of the feather folk build their nests on the ground. Some build in low bushes near the ground. Some | build high up in trees or way out on | the slender twigs of trees. To the tree builders Striped Chipmunk, as a rule, | pays no attention. He can climb, but | he doesn’t like to. That is to say, he doesn't like to get very far off the | ground. So, in the nesting season of the feathered folk, he pays little at- tention to those birds who are build- ing in trees. He does, however, keep a sharp | Contract BY P. HAL SIMS, Coup. I BELIEVE I spoke once before about | my own particular aversion—the | kibitzer who comes wandering up to | the table, examines the score, notes that the declarer went down three | tricks at his last contract at 50 a| trick and then asks reproachfully. | “Well, when do you double in this | game?” Kibitzers are always out for | blood. There are certain occasions when a double simply gives the last bidder a | chance to get out of a bad spot into a better one. These are merely ran- dom observations, and not true of the following hand. West has no other place to go, but it would be extremely | foolhardy of South to double six| hearts. All he has is trumps, and their location, under the declarer, | shouldn't make him feel that hes| going to take the queen, ten and eight, or even the queen and ten. It's a poor gamble to weigh 50 extra points against 860, the value of a doubled, | non-vulnerable slam. A Q-J-7-5-4 » K-10-9-6- N w1 32 4 A-K-10-2 The opening lead was the eight of | clubs. The slam depends entirely on | the trump suit. If West can pick up | the trumps, he can get rid of one club on the king of spades and the other | on the ten of diamonds. Unfortunately South has only one spade, so both discards can't be taken, and the heart queen finessed for as well, not to men- tion the fact that South holds five trumps. West played the hand just as if he | ‘were you, sitting in your easy chair at | home examining all four hands. He took the club lead with the ace, | eashed the king and ruffed a third club on the board, after removing the blocking ace of spades from his hand. He then pushed the king of spades under South’s nose, and South trumped it with the deuce of hearts. West, overtrumped with the three and | drew the ace and king of spades. The | bad news was disclosed. The queen of diamonds was led, overtaken by the king on the table, and another spade played back. There’s no percentage in South’s trumping that trick. South discarded a diamond. West trumped with the | five of hearts thus bringing himself down to his right-hand opponent’s | level. The jack of diamonds was led | and overtaken with the ace. At this| point South held the queen and ten of hearts. West had the jack and nine. The lead was in dummy. South took one more trick. His five trumps netted him only one trick be- cause of what turned out to be almost an automatic coup. The sole consola- tion that South got out of the whole miserable sffair was that he had not given away the location of the adverse strength by an ill-timed double, (Copyright. 1935.)

He is very fond of °ggs, of the eggs of his feathered neighbors. You see, being a little fellow, he is chiefly in- terested in little eggs. Now, Unc’ Billy Possym and Jimmy Skunk are in- terested in big eggs, and that takes them around hen houses when the way is clear. But Striped Chipmunk isn't interested in hen’s eggs. His interest is in the eggs of his feathered neighbors. And he is even more inter- ested in baby birds. They furnish him the meat that he likes best. That is, they furnish it to him when he can find them before they fly. So it is that in the Spring and early Summer, Striped Chipmunk spends much of his time watching his feathered neighbors and in sneaking about looking for nests. Sneaking isn't a nice-sounding word, but sneaking is Jjust exactly what Striped Chipmunk did a lot of and always does in the Springtime. You see, he knows that HE KNEW THAT SHE PROBABLY WOULD FLY STRAIGHT TO THE NEST. he shouldn't be trying to find those nests, and he knows just what would happen if he should be seen trying to find them. So, while he hunts for nests, he at the same time tries to keep out of sight himself. It happened that this particular Spring a pair of Robbins, young birds of the year before and so building their first nest, chose to put it in & low crotch of an apple tree in the Old Orchard. It was by chance that Striped Chipmunk discovered it, for it was near the middle of the Old Orchard and so beyond the usual range of Striped Chipmunk. It happened that he was sitting very still on the Old Stonewall when Mrs. Robin pulled a worm out of the | ground just at the edge of the Old Orchard. Instead of eating that worm she flew away with it rather hurriedly. Striped Chipmunk knew by the way she flew that she was taking it home to hungry babies. Almost without thinking what he was doing, he jumped from that stone wall and started through the grass of the Old Orchard in the direction Mrs. Robin had taken. He knew that she probably would fly straight to the nest, so he simply hurried along, keeping as near to the line she had taken as he could. And so at last he came to an apple tree | which forked down, and to his de- light and surprise he discovered that in that low crotch was a nest. He flattened himself down in the grass and watched until both father and mother Robin had left to hunt for more worms. Then he climbed up one side of that tree in a hurry and poked his head over the edge of that nest. Even as he did so, another head was poked over the opposite edge of that nest. It was the head of Mr. | Blacksnake. Such a shock as Striped Chipmunk received. (Copyright. 1935.) o Planes for Science.

This feller will appreciate what I does for him, Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Dual-Mindedness. THE brain consists of two hemi- spheres. The one on the right side of the head controls the activi- ties of the muscles on the left side of the body. And the left hemisphere does the same for the muscles on the right side of the body. ‘There is a rather widespread belief in psychological circles that one or the other side of the brain comes to play & dominant role in the life of an individual. Some, you may say, are right brain-minded, while others are left brain-minded. A few indi- viduals are found who may be either right-minded or left-minded for cer- tain specific activities. Now and then you find a ball player who can bat as well left-handed as right-handed. Most persons seem to be left-minded. | That's why you have so many more right-handed persons. But individuals are not only right- handed or left-handed; they may be right-footed or left-footed. A right- footed person usually starts up a stair- way right foot first. Or when he rises from a chair he will start off with the right foot. One of the most curious of all these dual-mindednesses is tae recent dis- covery that a person may be right- eyed or left-eyed. No one has been able to say just why individuals differ in these re- spects. Handedness is usually regard- ed as the result of imitation during the early years. But this theory, if true, doesn’t seem satisfactory for foot-mindedness or eye-mindedness. STAR, WASHINGTON, Nature’s D. C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1935. Children (Limax Agrestis). BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. NOTHER garden pest you will have no doubt met is this slug, first cousin to the snail and neighbor to the sowbugs. In our fair country there are some 30 species of slugs, all of them partial to tender plants that are just poking their heads above the soll. This stroller of your garden paths lies low during the daytime, under some friendly board, stone, or even a crack in the soil, usually cleverly selected in a spot you are least likely to notice. This slug is the one you are most apt to see, as it seems to flourish in our gardens. The pests are usually 1%, inches long, though some reach @ greater length. These intruders are, as & rule, yellowish to purplish black, and are highly decorated with brown spots of various sizes. One thing to trail them by is their tell-tale silver path, that leads from their sleeping quarters to their happy feasting grounds. This is unwise, indeed, on the part of the slugs, but they are helpless without their sticky carpet. So you may follow the sign BT until it leads you to the lair of your garden foes and deal with them ac- cording to the state of your mind. During the day the trespassers are nowhere in sight. Sound asleep, they rest from the banqueting of the night, and when shadows fall, arouse from their slumbers ravenously hungry, and return to the same plant they found so tender and tempting the night before. That is another way to trap them. Once having sampled the tender cel- ery, lettuce, or the like, they come | back regularly until not a sprig is left. Now is your chance to use known tactics for the protection or salvaging of your garden stuff. Spread about your plant a rug of dust, sand or lime, after they have started to dine. You may have to use a lantern or flashlight to see how to encompass the afflicted plant, but artificial light does not disturb them. .

They try again and again to lay down their silver path, but they cannot make any head- way .over this dusty surface. Later, if the ants, birds, frogs, or some other enemies, do not see them, you will find your defeated foe. The slug does not have a roof over his back, like his cousin, the snail, but he has a protector over his shoulders where his breathing ap- paratus is. If you will look closely you will see a tiny opening to one side and even see him breathe. ‘While these fellows do not belong to the famous Hibernators’ Cluj, they do sleep through the Winter in some secluded spot, until the Spring ar- rives, with its tender plants. The packets of eggs are hidden under stones or moist leaves, and if you look about you will see how much trouble the mother went to to hide them from you and her other foes. (Copyright. 1935.) How It Started BY JEAN NEWTON. Havoc. “YE GODS,” ejaculated Addison, “what havoc does ambition make among your works!” An unsavory scutcheon indeed does the word havoc bear. Connoting indiscriminate slaughter, laying wide waste, destruction and general devastation, havoc harks back to the days of old, when the English language was coming out of its shell. The background of havoc is color- ful as it is forbidding. Its grisly aspect is the spawn of the Anglo- Saxon hafoc, denoting the rapacious hawk, and the Old French havot or hai, voux! a cry to hounds to close in on the kill.
