— II II ■■ .« — ■■ I —— Every Mail Is Filled With Good News of Happyland Every mail brings lo Happyland word of new branch tribes forming, not only right here in the city 've call home, but in ail other parts of the coun try. Perhaps someone lias received his own button and membership rules and been so pleased with both that lie at once wanted to share with his friends ill? good that he has found. This is just what happened with Edward Hallein, y now chief of a tribe in West Springfield, Mass. He found 10 of his school mates also willing to protect birds and dumb animals and do their share toward making the world happier for those about them. From Millbury came the good word that Helen Tates and her band of Go Hawks are now busy making gifts to send for Christmas. «hie of the new tribes In Columbus was recently reported to Happyland by Alex Freldenberg. They have 15 rules of their own that they have made for behavior at (heir meetings, care of their clubroom and loyalty to the tribe. If they keep faithfully these 15 rules that have been so carefully thought out, then Columbus will be the better city because they live there. llarbura Graves and her friends have found a tribe In Hampden, O. The .members are very kind to their pets, much interested in all dumb animals, and they all have flower gardens In the summer. Milton Sheppard of Omaha bus a tribe of six boys who are trying very hard to do p; ler-tlve and helpful work among the birds. Others of our Go-Hawks are also specially interested in this line of work and all through the . winter the birds about them will have reason to know ibiil the IInppy Tribe boys and girls are keeping their pledge to protect them.

Jimmie clapped his hands, and tho Go-Hawks followed his example with the utmost enthusiasm, some even adding a shrill whistle or two, for the villain made instant appeal g IM - to these warriors, ever athirst for adventure. “S—sh! When they begin to speak you must keep still or you may have trouble. If you make a disturbance then an usher will come find drag N.m out." Jimmie's voice held a warn ing note.

It was Patience, and before any one could interfere she leaned for ward and cited, "<>h, please. pleaBe. save her sin.” Prudence also was weeping softly, which unaccustomed sight so upset the tnanly braves that there was .1 frantic search for hand kerchiefs.

Jimmie limped along, but he was radiantly happy, for the theater was his castle and he was a royal host. By the time they reached the green room It was deserted and such a glorious time as they had. They pranced around, impersonating IVielr favorite characters of the morn ing Prudence was the heartbroken mother and Patience the leading lady. (Copyright. 1924.) (Continued Next Sunday.) IN FIELD AND FOREST In our study of trees, while taking our little play' walks together each Sunday In Die woods, we have learned, something of their many uses other than for shade and beau ty. rerhaps you may not know that the gloves you wear are made of kid skins that are tanned in Europe. To do this work the nut-llke galls that grow- on certain oak trees are used. Tannin is the substance found in oak bark and the greatest amount of it Is found In the oak galls. This is the reason they are so carefully gathered in many foreign countries that they may be used in the tanning of the skins needed for making gloves. Many of the most expensive inks and dyes that do not fade are also nuyfP' from oak galls. East summer perhaps you noticed the green balk®, often as large as a hpn's egg and found sitting on an oak leaf. These are oak apples that change color with the leaves In the autumn. Sometimes o'Ur oak trees have small, hard halls growing on the twigs. They seem like marbles of different sizes. If you were to examine these close ly you would find each one had a hole In the middle. These marbles are made by a winged Insect known as the gall knat. it lays an egg In tile early spring in a slit In the twig or leaf of the oak. Next Sunday I will tel! you what hapyens as thiH insect builds a house about him. UNCEE JOHN. BATS. “I'm not afraid of huts, not I; I love to nee them flutter by.

TINY TA D TALES _ ■ _I Louise and Martha were passing a vacant lot where a horse was eating grass.

Fortunately, as i he t ar turned over at the foot, Nancy Blue Eyes and Hannah Lucy Jdttlest Hull landed on a soft l’ersian rug in the lower hall and were not hurt a bit. All the nursery folks ran out to see what had happened, and Bat the Bolicenian Doll held up all traffic until Janet and Bill picked' up the dolls and the automobile and carried them safely back to tlie nursery.
