Bedtime Stories Teeter Gives Warning. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. 4 amming for the ones who need it useless i they fail to heed it. —Old Mother Nature. EETER the Spotted Sandpiper, who had to be both father and mother to the four little Sandpipers because their mother had felt that her duty was done when she had laid the eggs, did his best to teach his children the things they should know if they were | to live to grow up and take their places in the Great World. Of course there were many things they had to learn by experience. It is so with all children, feathered, furred, and even boys and girls. Lessons from experi- ence usually are the hardest lessons, but, also, they are the lessons longest and best remembered. Of course one of the first and most important things to learn was who their enemies were, and this their ever watchful father taught them, signal- ing them to hide at the approach of | an enemy. As they followed him along the shore of the Smiling Pool A R over the edge of the board were two POp eyes, big, bulging eyes, that stared at the little Sandpiper hungrily. The little Sandpiper didn’t know that that stare was a hungry stare. Then out on the end of that old board climbed a Frog bigger than the little Sandpiper had dreamed s Frog ever could be. He knew it was a Frog, however. He couldn't be mis- taken. This glant was just the same queer shape as all the other Frogs the little bird had so often seen. This one wore a dark green coat and a white and yellow waistcoat. He had & perfectly tremendous mouth. That is, it was tremendous for the owner's size. It was Grandfather Prog the Bullfrog. “Chuga-rum!” said Grandfather Frog. “Don't you know that it isn't polite to stare? Where are your manners? Have you forgotten them? 1 don't remember to have seen you before. Come out here where I may see you better and we may become better acquainted The other little Sandpipers came up to see what their brother was looking at, and the four stood staring | at Grandfather Frog. They were not afraid. He might be big, but, after all, he was a Frog, and they had| learned not to fear Frogs. One of | them hopped up on the board. Just| then their father, Teeter, called sharply. It was a warning. They knew it, but what he was warning them about they didn't know. Grand- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1937. Brain Twizzlers BY PROF. J. D. FLINT. 1 Wis 1 At UP SIGN , PAINTIN T IS easy to understand the care that must be taken in the interest of precision and accuracy when designing various submarine parts. One designer spent a long time per- fecting various parts which would give greater utility value. One in par- ticular was interesting. In parts of the steel plate which encased and partitioned the submarine were three different shapes of opening with the same diameters. One was a circle, one a square and one a cross as shown. The designer finally hit upon an idea for a solid plug of a single piece of steel which in one of three ways would filll any of the three shapes of openings, completely filling the opening. A little ingenuity and thought will give you the design. (Copyright, 1937.) (Answer on Page C-7.) Wages in Japan have risen 3 per cent in the last 12 months. Nature’s Children Red Milkweed Beetle (Longicornes). BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. AR.!: you a collector of beautiful beetles? Here is one of the hand- some beetles that frequent the milk- weed plant. Some call them “Long- horns.” There are more than 13,000 species among the Cerambycidae, some bril- liantly colored, others spectacular, and still others of unusual form. The red milkweed beetles are so bright you cannot miss them. Al through the Summer they are domi- ciled upon the milkweed plant and are not welcome guests. The plant cannot rid itself of such sponging visitors and has to furnish room and lodging for the self-invited beetles. Of course there are other insects to be found on the milkweed—among them the lovely butterfiles you have met in this column, who seek the bountiful plant. 1f you wish to go deeper into the life story of this beetle, its name is Tetra- opes tetraophtalmus. The horns are almost as long as the scientific name. ‘They are both very essential in making identification certain. The name, translated, describes the slender, cylin- drical, horn-like antennae or horns. Because of its bright crimson, the longhorn makes a decided contrast of color among the green leaves and stems. It is a stout-bodied insect, built along sturdy lines. There are four black spots on each wing-cover. The feelers are black and slightly shorter than the crimson body. It is a color combination that is always pleasing, and looks well in a collection. protest any handling of them. Pick one up and listen to him “quarrel” over his capture. He literally squeaks with rage. He accomplishes this feat “by rubbing a ridge inside the prono- tum on a highly specialized, striate surface at the base of the scutellum.” In plain words, it is the result of fric- tion of one hard part against the sur- face of another part equally as hard. ‘When not “squeaking,” these parts are contracted and out of sight. J¢ is on the same principle as the grasshopper’s noise maker, and you can easily see how it is done, but the action itself is too swift for your eyes to follow. During their extreme youth, these | beetles are rather white and look like | portly grubs, doing very well on their food formula. They reside in the soil about the lower stems and roots of the milkweed hostess, and without so much as “by your leave” they help them- selves. weed hostess in check. By eating her! leaves, which of course are for the collection of energy from the sun to send down to the roots; the plant will not be too thrifty in maturing thou- sands of seed children. In other words, the red milkweed beetle is holding the plant down to a reasonable state of health, though sometimes the beetles 80 too far and the plant dies. (Copyright, 1937.) All Six Pennies Safe. Killing rumors that it was willing to pay $750 each for two of the six pennies minted in 1933, the British royal mint has announced in Lon- don that it can account for all six The stories were that having recovered four, the mint wanted the other two. The official announcement said that three are under corner stones, two are at the British Museum and the sixth 1is at the mint. Psychology DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Getting Ahead. IN THESE days of incressing com- petition the market of reading ma- terial is glutted with advice on how to get ahead. The net result, I fancy, is confusion rather than enlighten- ment. Boil all this advice down to a single statement and it reads: Use your head instead of your hands. This proposi- tion is worth consideration. Hands were in demand long before heads. head in order to lighten thelr own burden. Any one who imagines that the proper use of the head alone will solve the problems of life is simply kicking the props from under the head. Another thing, one's head (mind) In fact, the hands made the | e | has several levels. Some persons have more levels than others. The so-called “head levels” are not equally developed among all persons. They must be trained just as the hand is trained, This 15 a bit of knowledge which few persons appreciate. Consequently some persons use loose -imaginatiog in picturing to and for themselves conditions which cannot be realized, And 50 they waste their hand oppor tunities in trying to develop a limited head. In other words, they mistake wishes for realities. Failure and dis- appointment are the result. There is these days an overprodur. tion of psychological jargon which g created to be sold rather than to used. (Copyright. 1937.)

Now, in running along the shore the little Sandpipers became ac- quainted with some of the water folk. Not infrequently they would discover 8 Frog sitting at the edge of the water.

When they were, it was only for a very short time. A lot of food was required, not only to keep them growing but to supply the energy they used up in running about 80 much. One of them, running along with his toes in the water, now and then paused as a little spiash, just a very faint one, caught his attention.

That little splash had been at the other end. the end out on the water.
