Their Password Begins With Letter C THEY have a password beginning with the letter C and that Is the reason t&ese Go-Hawks, who live In Medford, each wear a red C. Jeanette Ifodgdon sent word that they have had many good times together this summer. Their meetings were held In a playhquse. William Whitehead Is captain of a tribe of boys who live In Hyde park, while Elywin Walts, who lives in Mountan Grove, Mo., has formed a tribe of 10 girls. It is always good news to hear that a band of Go-Hawks t» try ing very hard every day to do those things that help to make the world n happier place. This Is just what the five little girls banded with Virginia Haskell of Rosllndale have been doing all through their summer vacation. It Is always a surprise to find how many things Just seem to be waiting for the Go-Hawks to do. Barbara Squires of Newton Centre enjoyed being a Go-Hawk so much herself that she started a tribe with seven other girls In It. Eleven members are now reported by Emily Dixon as enrolled In the Squantum tribe. They call tti '‘Squantum" because the town of Squantum Is called for the Indian of that name. Leonard Wright and his Go-Hawk braves of Nashua had the Joy of being able to save a nest of birds this summer. His Go-Hawks are all from 7 to 10 years of age. Earl Ward lives In Llsbourn, Mo., and the five boys * w ' who were the first to Join with him are all going to work very hard to build t y up a thriving tribe In their home town, one that will do everything possible for the protection of birds and all dumb animals. Six members are reported by Bedla Thomas In her tribe In Hyde park. "We are going to begin very soon dressing dolls for poor children for Christmas/’ writes Mary Thomas, who became interested in the Go-Hawks while visiting her aunt In Columbus. She returned to her home In Cleveland and formed a tribe of eight girls who are already making plans for Christmas for poor children. Isn’t that fine? | NEWS PROM T ! Janet and Bill have returned from the seashore, bringing with them Tom and Ned Tin Soldier and Alice Cornelia, the Talking Doll. Janet and Bill are as brown as Indians, but Alice Cornelia still has her lovely fair [ complexion. She says that she wore f a green Tell on the beach ae much es possible and always carried her sun shade. Tom and Ned Tin Soldier are delighted to be back In the Nursery and have been marching about all day calling on their various friends. Baby Bugs and Oliver, the China Dog and Cat, have decided to open a private school on the top of Janet's desk, where they always sit. Baby , Bugs Is very fond of teaching and Is •jnthuslastlo over their new plan. ^ /heir pupils will be limited as the top of the desk le not very large. The parents of the Nursery children are SUP- -- raasa requested to send In their applications as soon as possible. The Book People have all returned to their home on the Book Shelves after a happy summer spent on the fire escape. (Of course, however, when It rained they had to come Inside.) They were delighted with their sum mer home and say they have rented It for another season. Mother Goose and Little Bo-Peep have been busy dusting the Book Shelves and getting everything In order for the fall. Re becca and Robinson Crusoe are both to have new covers next month. Dur ing their fire escape outing they fell through the rails and down Into the ash can below. Twice this happened and ash cans are surely very hard on one's clothes. Rebecca declares her cover waa getting shabby any way, for Janet had read her ao much. gaaawv ---1-wn THE 5QWVUy S\ NOPBI8. Editor Shlilfr wUhro to make a trip alth a friend, Imt hroltatrr to leave Mo mother alone. Jack Carroll and the fio Hawks decide to look after Mrs. Shirley during the editor’* absence, and Ive de part* feeling Ills mother will not be lonely, .lack epend* a week at the Shirley home, then in lorn Donald. Peggy and Tinker. During Tinker's week the "Squaw Ladv" give* a bob ride and. unfortunately, elie and little lame .llmmle are thrown out of the hob. Mra. Shirley take* Jimmie home with her for a week. After a call from Ml** Bally Mr*. Shirley asks the twine over for a week with .lack ami Jimmie. Prudence and Patience are de lighted and when they leave home a*k Annt Bailie If she wants to tell them anything special. ^ (Continued From laet Sunday.) “If you Will only do the things Mrs. Shirley asks you. and not think up plans of your own, I will be happy.” “Then you will be happy, because we’re going to save all of our new Ideas until Uncle Peter comes home." Patience felt that should be assurance enough. Almost Immediately on their arrival •he ■uggested that ehe be allowed to dresa Mr*. Shirley’* hair each day. “Of course, I may not be able to make It quits so lovely ss you do. Squaw Lady, but I will do my best." “I know that you will, dear, and If you will ecrae Into my room early In tta* morning I will be glad to have vour help.? rv "I am going to take care of Jimmie all week. Tou’ll let me, won't you, Jimmie?" Jaok was eager to do his ■hare. “ ’Course XU let you. I don't care If I did get ■pflted out. and I'm glad I'm going to Btay another week." Patience waa humiliated to find she had overslept the following morntng, and when *he reached Mr». Hhlrley's room found her dressed and waiting for her to comb her hnlr. "I am so sorry. Squaw L«ady, and I hurried so fast I pulled the buttons off my shoos, but now I’m ready." That morning at breakfast Patience remarked that she wished she might learn to cook, and It gave the Squaw Ijvdy an Idea. “How would you like, little glrli, to learn how to make raisin cooklss? You might come end bake them every Thursday afternoon, and then Sthy and help me prepare tea. You know I do not ask Mary to come back that afternoon, and It would b« such a help to have you. Would you enjoy It?” “And Weil taste ’em for you. won't we. Jack?” almost shouted Jimmie. "Oh, what fun!" Prudence's eyes were dancing. “And we might play It was a little bakeshop. and maybe Aunt Sallle and Mrs. Carroll will each buy some cookies from us, and we can spend the money on the poor, and what fun It'll be to surprise Uncle Peter with our cooking." “You are the dearest Squaw Lady In the world.” Patience ran around to the head of the table and thiew her arm* Impulsively about Mrs. Shtiiey, “I wish It were Thursday this very minute." It seemed to the twins as though Thursday never would come, notwlth rgUadlng til the happy times each i day. When the eventful afternoon finally arrived they begged for per mission to be excused a little early # Just this one time. At an extra argument Prudence added: "It will give us a chance to get started be fore the boys are out of school.” To Jack’s disappointment, who want ed to be present at the entire cook ing session, Mrs. Shirley permitted the girls to be excused a half hour earlier. It was well that she did, for the first pan of cookies was not out of the oven until one by one the Go Hawks managed to make an excuse to visit the house. Tinker concluded to work In his shop that special afternoon. The very word "cookie” drew Piggy like a magnet, and he explained to Mrs. Shirley that he thought he ought to come and carry In some wood for the fireplace, since there was no one at home to do It. Even Donald seemed drawn Irresisti bly to the house, saying he thought It about time for him to be coming around to play a game with Jimmie. Whatever were their excuses, by half past 4 all the braves had asaembled. King was wild with Joy at the coming of ao many of hla playmate*; and waggtd hla tall frantically at h* ran from on* to th* other. Al though the Squaw Lady had aug gested that th* boye remain In th* library until pa^ at least of t he cookies were baked, when King ran Into the kitchen with ble ball In hla mouth Jack followed. Piggy decided ha could not wait another minute for A drink. (CepyrtsM, 1*14.) (Continued Next Sunday.) Mary Isabel Brown of Lewellen, Neb., sent these nuts: When are eyes not eyes?

On* of our Go-Hawks, Emerson Wlnthrop, who has spent his summer I vacation on Cape Cod, has sent me a drawing of an old-fashioned cart that he made. He writes that It Is the same kind of one that the fisher men used many years ago to haul their farm produce and fish. To make the shafts use two pieces of soft wood, one Inch thick, eight Inches long and three-fourth inch wide. From one end of each shaft measure downward four and a half inches, then round and taper the points toward ends. For the floor use one-fourth Inch wood, two and one-fourth Inches wide and two and three-fourth Inches long. Fasten with one-halt Inch brads to the shafts, placing three-fourth Inch from the square ends. Now take a piece of wood that Is two and a half Inches long and two-thirds Inch wide. Fasten It to hack of floor boards with two one-half Inch brads driven up through the floor. For your roller use a piece of wood seven-eighths inch wide and thick. After you have whittled this Into a cylinder rub It with sandpaper and then fasten to short end of shaft. You can make any size cart you wish by enlarging equally all your dimensions. PETER.

POLI.Y. ^ Iri Field and Forest Many of my young friends are ac quainted with the sassafras tree. In the winter they like to taste a bit of Its bark or nibble at the dainty green buds. The sassafras tree Is not only an Interesting tree, but has been found a most useful one also. Its light, tough wood Is used for fishing rods by those who live In the country. The Woods of this tree makes good barrels, boats, posts, since neither water nor soil rot It. It Is always good fun to study the strange leaf shapes of the sassafras tree. It has mittens and double mit ten* of all sizes. Th* thumb* of th**e mittens are always Just where they should b*. on on* aide, and what Is arranger still, there art left* and right*.
