' Nature’s Children ‘ November. By LILLIAN COX ATHEY. VERY month brings to the na- ture lover a wealth of inter- esting things to look for, dis- cover and enjoy. The chrys- anthemum is the flower of the month. Looking at the glorious blooms, it is hard to believe they are descendants of & wild daisy, and parent and child belong to the thistle family. It just goes to show what care and educa- tion will accomplish in even a short time. November comes from a Latin word meaning rine. In the old Roman ealendar it was the ninth month, De- cember being the tenth. Oh, well, we are far more intrigued with what the month holds for us and this we know is satisfactory in every particular. How about our winter bird guests? The pert little chickadee announces his arrival. The juncos are tripping daintily about in their modest uni- forms of gray and white. No wonder they are called the little nuns and monks of the bird world. The nut- hatches appear overnight. You will find them busily engaged policing the tree barks. Nearby the woodpecker taps merrily on the empty tree trunk, cocking his head in such a way that you know he is listening for the sleepy grub to stir under the bark and in doing 8o apprise the tapper just where to bore for his prize. ‘The 3quirrels are still searching for anotiaer nut and hiding it carefully under leaves, a pocket in the bank or hollow tree. The muskrats have 0 about completed their winter resi- dence or have reroofed the old home- stead. Beavers are abroad at night, hauling in a few more tree trunks on whose bark they feast through the winter. The foxes are becoming more and more aware of their enemies, the baying dogs and the men with guns. A hoarse bark from some hidden spot carries to the listening ear the con- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1937. tempt the hunted one feels toward his foes. Moose, elk and caribou are having battles over the favor of their mates. The cottontails have sought shelter wherever they could find it, preferably near a patch of greens. The opossum’s tracks have been seen under the per- simmon tree. The frost will sweeten his favorite fruit and upon it the whole family will feast and fatten. Who knows but the persimmon lover has already been marked to grace the table of & hunter fond of the rich and juicy meat of the opossum? The witch-hazel brightens her cor- ner in the woods. She has been un- noticed all summer and early autumn. Now her feathery flowers will be seen against the somber shades all about her. Vines, bright berries, exquisite gray lichens and deep green mosses are soul satisfying in their rich shades. There are frost grapes, fragrant cedar berries, sassafras and cucumber trees laden with fruit for the birds en route to the South. Some day, when you see a single tree in an out-of-the- way place, you will know instantly that the mother tree's ambition for her seed child has been fulfilled. It has a home. Weed seeds dance over the tops of the tall, dry grasses. Salmon are laying their eggs in the rivers. They will never more return to their beloved ocean. Eels are de- scending from fresh waters to which they will never come back. November is the nature collector's delight. Empty bird nests, cocoons, galls, signs, tracks and leads! It is the month of thanksgiving and it is also the month of sharing. (Copyright, 1937.) Bedtime. Stories By THORNTON W. BURGESS. The law of life the hive bees teach 1s each for all and all for each ld Mother Nature, FARMm BROWN'S BOY was jubi- lant. From a little box, called a bee box, Busy Bee had just flown away with a load of honey with which Farmer Brown's Boy had baited that little box. To his city cousins, Sue and Sammy, this meant nothing. It was their first bee hunt. Already they had seen & lot of bees fly away from that little box and this was Jjust one more. They didn't see any- thing to be excited about. . “Did you see in which direction that bee flew?” cried Farmer Brown's Boy. “Sure,” replied Sammy. toward the Green Forest. Tommy?" Tommy looked disgusted. “Which way did all those other bees we have caught and let go again fly?” he demanded. “Most of them went toward the Old Orchard and a few toward the door yard of Neighbor Jones, Why?” replied Sammy. “I know!” cried Sue. “There are “Tt flew ‘What of it, hives in both places, s0 those bees belonged there. This 1ast one flew toward the Green Porest, where there are no hives, and so—" “And s0,” interrupted Tommy, “it means that probably she is from that lost swarm that we started out. to find. If she isn't from that particular swarm 'she is from some other lost swarm, and that amounts to the same thing. Now we know where to look.” “Yeah, now we know where to look,” repeated Sammy scornfully. “I sup- pose we just go over to the Green Forest and look for a bee. I've heard of looking for a needle in a haystack, but that has nothing on looking for & particular bee in the Green Forest.” | Tommy grinned. “Be patient, Sam- my. Home-going bees always fly in & straight line. That is why a straight line often is called a bee line. We know now the direction of this particular bee line, but, just to make sure of it, we'll wait for a line of bees,” said he, The little bee box was on a fence post and Tommy kept a watchful eye on it while he explained some of the things he had learned about bees. He broke off to exclaim:: “She’s back and she's brought another with her! It won't be long now until we have that Ime working.” Bo it was. The news of this supply of sweets had been passed along and — the thrifty workers were making the most of this golden opportunity. In a short time there was a double line of busy workers, some going and some coming. One end of that line was at the little bee box on the fence post. The other end was somewhere in the Green Forest. Tommy had timed the first bee when she had left and when she had returned. From experience he knew about how long it takes a bee to take a load & certain distance, leave it and return. Thus he could figure pretty closely the distance to the home in the Green Forest of these particular bees. “Those bees are not flying more than half a mile each w declared. “They must have found a hollow tree, or one with a big hollow limb, anyway, and taken possession. It is & quarter of a mile from here to the edge of the woods, and that tree must be about the same distance in.” ‘Tommy slipbed the cover on the bee box. There were two bees inside. Sighting a tree on the edge of the Green Forest in direct line with the post on which was the bee box, he picked up the latter and started straight for that tree. “Come along. The hunt is on,” said he. Excited and mystified, Sur and Sammy followed. (Copyright, 1937 DRIVING A STEAM-ROLLER 8 HOURS A DAY TAKES IT OUT OF A FELLOW. BUT, BELIEVE ME, TEA PUTS IT BACK.
