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.

asked Jimmie to show them all over
the theater. They first visited the
gallery, and then tried the boxes in
the balcony. Jimmie limped along,
but he was radiantly happy, for the
theater was his castle and he was a

such a glorious time as they had.

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.
