T'alk On Nature
Given By
Dr. Don Jacobs
Dr. Don Jacobs, assistant pro
fessor of Botony at the University
of Georgia, spoke to the Pre-
School Child Study Group at their
recent meeting on “Nature Study
for the Pre-School Child.” He
brought out the fact that an in
terest in nature is inherent in the
pre-school child, and that this in
terest should .be stimulated
through letting the child collect
things in which he shows an in
terest,
Collections of rocks, bird eggs
or anything from nature can be
valuable in a childs devel6pment.
Teach them to keep things for use
when they are older, Dr. Jacobs
stressed.
True faets about nature should
be taught the child from the very
beginning so that the child will
harbor no fears. For instance,
teach him which things are dan
gerous and how tc recognize them.
Teach him the good things about
even. the dangerous insects, such
as the black widow spider, but be
sure that he knows how to be safe.
Teach him the dangers of poison
ivy, how to recognize a deadly
poisonous snake and to keep away
from such dangers.
Fears are only natural in the
child who is not taught facts. So
many folk-lore stories instill fear
in children and the facts should
be investigated when such a fear
is a result. If a child can handle
harmless spiders, snakes, flowers,
bugs and the like he will learn to
love nature. But he should be
taught to recognize the dangers
along with the beauties and won
ders.
Colorful slides were shown the
group to illustrate Dr. Jacobs dis
cussion. They included Flowers,
birds, snow scenes, trees and the
like.
Refreshments were followed by
a business meeting at which Mrs.
Loyd Florence was elected pres
ident of the group. Mrs. Lamar
Elder, vice-president; Mrs. Tom
my Wier, secretary; Mrs. Rowland
Harris, treasurer.
Plans for the annual picnic were
made and the picnic will be held
at 5 o’clock on May 28th.

~ When a Father Prays
“Build me a son, oh, Lord, who
will be strong enough to know
when he is weak and brave
enough to face himself when he
is afraid. One who will be proud
and unbending in defeat but hum
ble and gentry in victory.
“A son whose wishbone will not
be where his backbone should be;
a son who will know that to know
himself, is the foundation stone
of all true knowledge.
“Rear him, I pray, not in the
paths of ease and comfort but un
der the stress and spur of diffi
culties and challenges. Here let
him learn to stand up in the
storm; here let him learn eompas
sion for those who fail.
Build me a son whose heart will
be clean, whose goal will be high.
A son who will master himself
before he seeks to master other
men. One who will learn to laugh,
yeét never forget how to weep. One
who will reach into the future,
yet never forget the past.
“After all of these are his, add,
I pray, enough of a sense of hu
mor so that he may always be
serious, yet never take himself too
seriously; a touch of humility, so
that he may always remember the
simplicity of true greatness; the
open mind of true wisdom; the
meeknesg of true strength.
“Then, I, his father, will dare
in the sacred recesses of my own
heart to whisper, ‘I have not lived
in vain’.”

THE STORY: A fortune in
missing bonds at the stockbroker
age of Marney Cravath is linked
somehow with the murder of
Ames Warburton, junior partner
of Cravath’s. Jim Orth, private
detective, learns that no one
actually knows if the bonds were
in the safe when Warburton
checked them the afternoon be
fore his death. Warburton’s mur
der is listed as # accident, but
Sally Cravath, Marney’s niece, has
been trying to persuade her father
to call in the police.

Half an hour late Marney Cra
vath came to my room. “Thought
you'd like to know that Eve took
it as I expected she would. Like
a sport. Even told me to forget
about it. Naturally I won’'t do
that.”
Well, it much be great to be in
a position to laugh off 50 G’s. And
Eve Wheeler undoubtedly was
“Good,” I said. “At least you
won’t lose a customer.” And now
that he had Eve off his mind, I
asked him to give me a few min
utes.
He grunted that it was very
late, but came on in to the study.
I went straight to the point.
“T want a check-up on Ames
Warburton’s movements,” I told
him. “From the time he left the
office till he got down here that
day.”
That was the way I put it. As a
matter of fact, I envisioned a
check-up that would go a lot fur
ther.
“Sure,” Cravath said, “go on up
to New York and do what you
like. You don’t have to baby-sit
with me day and night. I'm be=
ginning to think that’s all foolish
ness, anyvhow.”
“I don’t.”
He shot me a hard direct look.
Dresses Fit For A Queen!
“You think we're not finished with
this thing?”
“I'm taking no chances. Be
sides, there’s a fellow in New York
named Harrison who can do the
checking-up better than I could.
Investigating is his business. He
does nothing else.”
“Get him started then.” Cravath
arose, yawning.
I sat on in the study for a while.
I leaned back in my chair, lit a
cigaret and stared at the cups,
photographs, et al, which told the
saga of Cravath’s athletic ability.
It was one of the best things
I've ever done.
Cravath had switched on but
one light, That threw a subdued
radiance, glinting softly off the
silver and bronze of cups, plaques
and models, highlighting the glos
sy prints of the photographs. But,
because of the peculiar way in
which its beam slanted, one item
in particular was outlined in bold
relief,
The thing was literally scream
ing at me—and for once Orth, the
dumb dick, got the cotton out of
his ears.
If T was right, I'd put together
a chance remark and a lucky idea
and made them spell M-U-R-D-
E-R. But I was still a million
miles from a proof.
I went to bed that night morally
sure that I knew the killer of
Ames Warburton. But just as
morally sure that I couldn’t do a
thing about that clever and able
operator. .

The fellow Dick Harrison is a
colorless little man upon whom
she average individual wouldn’t
waste a second look. Maybe his
inconspicuousness accounts for his
success as an investigator.
In the detectice trade he is
known as The Ferret—the idea
being that, if it's diggable, Har

The Ferret was prompt to the
rendezvous at the Madison House.
He oozed into the bar without at
tracting any visible attention. ‘
I bought him a beer. That, he
stated, was his plebian preference.
Then, coming out flatfooted with
names, I outlined what I wanted
him to do. ) :

remarked: “This will inyolve con

Which, T knew, was his delicate
way of pointing out that it would
cost considerable cash. I reas
sured him on this point. ‘
“T thought you always took
taxis,” I said. “But, skipping that,
money may be your object, It
isn’t my client’s. The big thing
here is to keep this as private as
possible. If I'm ‘barking up the
wrong tree, and any of these peo
ple get adverse publicity without
a good reason, there will be a big
ger and better murder. Cravath
will build it around me.”
“Well, how do I send in my
stuff?”
“You bring it to me, here. And
you don’t call me at Windover. I
call you in New York, see how
you're doing, and make a date if
you think you've got anything im
portant. Now how lonf will it be
before I give you a ring?”
He squinted. “Three days, say.
Looks like I'm going to have to .
run all over New York.”
“All right,” I said. “Catch the

He left me without another
word, To illustrate how unob
trusively he got out of them-—our
solicitous waiter, noting empty
glasses, came over presently. With
one eye on the door of the men's
room and the other on the impo
tent containers, he asked if we'd
have two more of the same. 1 said
no, just one, my friend had gone.
The waiter went away, looking
puzzled.
1 drove home slowly. It was
becoming clearer to me every
minute that I'd thrown a ecircum
stantial web around a wparticular
person. But the ends of the web
weren't meeting, There was one
vital assumption in my mind
which needed verification, or they
rever would meet. That verifica
tion seemed utterly impossible to
get, under the conditions prevail
ing. Unless I came out flatfooted
with the one party best equipped
to answer the question; fook my
hair down about being a priva‘e
detective, not a young socially
‘minded idler; and threw myself
on the mercy of that warticular
party.
