MY NEWSPAPER IS Hi ave you ever seen this bird dart out his long, funny tongue to catch an in sect in your garden? His scientific name is ARCHI LOCHUS COLUBRIS, but when you once see his pic ture, I am sure you can guess his everyday name. From the tip of his long tail to his bill he is only three inches long and his colors are really beautiful. He makes a buzzing sound with his wings which whirl up and down very fast whenever he is hunting for his dinner in flowers. He is useful because he gobbles up harmful insects and car ries pollen dust from flower to flower, making new ones grow. This bird has a little cup-shaped nest of moss and spider webs where he and his wife keep their two babies. Sometimes these birds live as far north as Alaska but come - down to Central America for the Winter. Think of flying 500 miles without resting!

Let' Draw a Crab Ann Davidow 7 When this triangle is done We can have a lot of fun. First at two corners sketch a "V," And make two dots like those you see. Then add the pair of claw like mitts, The toothy fringe of scraggly bits. A crab can travel wobble-ly When shuffling off through sand or sea. aine the rave Eileen Daly You and a friend can have a lot of fun getting this game ready. Then you can have even more fun playing it with others. Gather up some old magazines with pictures of movie and television stars. Cut out the heads of those you recognize by sight. Now cut out some pictures of just anybody babies, men, dancers, children. The faces in those pictures should be about the same size as those of the stars. Cut away the faces but not the hair of the babies, dancers, etc. Into the holes that are left, paste the face of a star. If you put, for instance, Roy Rogers' face in the picture of a dancing lady or a baby, you will be surprised at how different and how funny he will look. When you have made quite a few of these, ask your friends to try to guess who they are. Some of them will fail to guess even faces they know very well. (You might not remember yourself, so better write the name of the star on the back!) This game is fun any time, but especially at parties. Mar hi WtnUimil Lay a string on the floor, or draw soma aot't of line (a line on the rug pattern will do) and start your game. Two of you can play, and you tiave two marbles each. The first one puts his marble on the line and the second says, "Kick your ball south," (or "west," "north," or "east," if he prefers). If the first player kicks his marble south he scores one point and has a chance for another kick. If he doesn't kick his marble in the direction he is told to kick it, he loses his turn and the second player scores a point. In continuing the game, the player places his second marble on the line and tries with his kick to make the second marble hit the first one. If h it able to hit the first marble, he wins two VinU and can lick again. He takes orders again aa to the direction he is to kick and again, if he doesn't kick in that direction, he loses his turn. 16 fnmili Wrrkly. May 19. 1957
