That isn't nice to think of, is it? But some people don't mind thinking &bout it and are inclined to take ad- vantage of it. That is the way a lot of people get along in the world— taking advantage of the troubles of others. Black Pussy the Cat isn't above this. Goodness, no! The moment she heard Sammy Jay begin to scream, she pricked up her eare. Then, when she heard all the other birds in the Old Orchard adding their screams to Bammy’'s, she got to her feet, yawned, stretched and then trotte in that soft-footed way of hers over to where she could see what was going on. Almost right away she saw that the feathered folk were darting at something in the gra Rlack Pussy stole forward swiftly. Every few feet she would stop to look and listen. All the time she kept crouched as closc to the ground as she could. “f don't know about,” though Bla @0 know that those siily birds are so occupled that they are not keeping watch at all. The sound as if they were in trouble of some sort. It they are, it will be all the easier for me. I certainly ought to get a good bird dinner out of this.” Now, it was true that the hirds were 80 occupied that not one of them had thought to look out for any other danger. They could think of mothing but Mr. Blacksnake and no one had eyes tor anything els 80 it was that Black Pussy man- aged 1o creep very near. Bhe was still puzzlcd as to what 1t was all about. Then she saw Mr. Blacksnake lift his head and strike angrily at a bird who was darting down at him. “Aba" said Black Pussy, “it is Mr. Blacksnake! wonder that he doesn't catch one of those birds. If I had some of them a8 negr as they are to him, I would bave one and have it quick.” Perhaps Black Pussy was right. It 414 100k as if some of those birds were possesscd to get ap close as they could to Mr. Blacksnake. He had partly coiled and the birds had gathered around. Every once 1in a whils, 6ne would dart down at him —especially Sammy Jay—but poor Mrs. Welcome Robin seemed para- lyzed. It was just as it she couldn’t tear herself away. I suppose some folks would have said that she was charmed. Ehe fluttered about as if she were helpless. Every instant Black Pusay expected to see Mr. Blacksnake scize her. But that charming was not real charming. Mrs. Welcome was not paralyzed with fear. Bhe was pre- tending. Although she looked to be within easy striking distance of Mr. Blacksnake, she was really just a wee bit beyond sure striking dis- tance. She was pretending to be helpless. Mr. Blacksnake knew it just as well as she did. She was trying t6 fool him, but he wasn't fo0led. She was fooling Black Pussy, but she wasn't fooling Mr. Black- saske.

MORRIS FISHBEIN At this season health officlals be- gin to worry about the sanitation of summer camps. In many etates the director of the state department of health de- mands filing for a permit to oper- ate such a camp before the work is undertaken, and complete in- spection i8 made of the site, water supply, toilet facilities, and simi- lar sanitary requirements before the permit is granted. In Maryland each camp must satisfy the state requirements as to the protection of water supplies from pollution, disposal of protection of contamination, liness before food supplies from and general clean- State Director Dr. Must Be Certified Any camp site which is to ac- commodate ten or more persons, which is to be used as a camy for tourists, or which is to be used as vacation outings for six days or longer must be properly certified before it can begin operation. Banitary sewage disposal usual- 1y involves the provision of a sep- tic tank not available. Any camp using the old style vault and cess pool ehould be avoided. Sewage left place for the transmission of many disease, Questionable water is unsafe. One should not drink from any bucket that happens to be avail- able in a roadside establishment. It is safe to drink any of the special soda waters or fancy Arinks than to take achance on unsafe water. Guarding Milk Supply Milk is easily contaminated and must be kept under proper condi- ! tions of refrigeration. Flies are a menace. Eating places should be guarded from flies by the use of mosquito nete ting or screening. The same mos- quito netting will serve to protect the sleeping cot at night from mosquitos and other insects. First aid is of the greatest im- portance. A minimum first-aid outfit includes a package of asterile cotton, some two-inch bandages, a small roll of adhesive, a pair of scissors, and a small bottle of some antiseptic solution. In case ot synburn & soothing ointment serves the double purpose of pro- tection and relief from pain.

The hearing and singing of songs an important part of every child’s musical education. But these songs should be as carefully chosen as the children’s shoes or luncheons. Many so-called children’s songs childish neither in thoug! cobulary nor melody, says dren, the Magazine for Parents.” Mother Goose herself has suffered much at the hands of many musi- clans, but there are settings for her which are as singable as they are delightful to beginners, And there are many newer songs that all children should know. A child who never learns to sing Neidlin- ger's “Little Birdie,” or of Mr. Duck who.went to call on Mr. Turkey, las been deprived of a joyous part ot his birthright. Some songs lend themselves to simple dramatization. This should alwa; be rhythmie. Little Bo Peep gives added pleasure if she is impersonated by the singer. It is possible to teach even a tiny baby to take pleasure in necessary self-denials if the positive features of the act arc emphasized. That is, do not call his attention to the fact that he must not put pins into his miouth, but that he must give them to mother, and make him feel that it is fun to do eo, that it is an achievement like waving bye-bye or playing pat-a-cake, and quite as fit a subject for pride and rejoicing. For many years in a little boy's life the father is his ideal. He { wants to eat what father eats, do what father does. A child may learn to go off into a fit of temper every time anything goes wrong just because he sees father do it. Father must be careful not to talk about the food he likes and die- likes; he must learn perhaps to like such-things as spinach and milk, If he feels like swearing or kicking the furnace when it won't work, let him take it out in shovel- ing coal. Birth Control and the X-Ray Use of This Is Condemned By Professor, Austin, Tex., May 10, UP—Use of the X-ray in birth control is con- demned by Dr. H. J. Muller, pro- fessor of zoology at the University of Texas. Dr. Muller has attracted wide at- tention among scientists by his suc- cess in employing the X-.ray to modify the genes, or living giving cells, and to stimulate new char- acteristics in living organisms, thus accelerating evolution. He says that “undesirable and harmful mutations,” or - bapic changes, often occur when the pow- erful light is used in birth eontrol efforta, The zoologists last year won the $1,000 prize offered by the Amer- ican Assoclation for the Advance- ment of Sclence for the mest no- table contribution to the advande- ment of science presénted at the organisation’s annual meeting.
