Chairman King of Commis
sion to Call Meeting to
Consider Sites.
The District of Columbia Airport
Commission is considering taking an
option on several sites for an airport
under the $10,000 appropriation re
cently made for this purpose and is
to hold a meeting next week to deter
mine on these options, Senator King,
chairman of the commission, said last
night. It can be definitely stated that
no site has yet been selected.
The delay has been occasioned by
the serious illness of Frederick H.
Delano, one of the three members of
the commission named by the Presi
dent. Some definite action may be
expected soon, Senator King said,
when he learned of the attack upon
the commission made in the House
late yesterday by Representative
Dingell, Democrat, of Michigan. Other
members of the commission, it was
learned last night, have been endeav- j
i oring to have a decision reached but !
| Chairman King has thus far declined j
i to call a meeting during the illness of i
Mr. Delano.
Danger of Tragedy.
Representative Dinged in his speech |
emphasized that with ad the airfields |
in the District area under water—
Army, Navy and the commercial j
field—there is grave danger of a trag- i
edy, and he emphasized that the
National Capital is entitled to an air
port second to none.
He cited the fact that Mrs. Roose- j
velt was obliged to go to Baltimore to i
board her ship in order to go to the I
Northwest.
Tire members of the commission are i
Senators King and Copeland and
Austin of Vermont; Chairman Nor- j
ton of the House District Committee,
with Representative Jack Nichols of
Oklahoma, secretary, and Representa
tive Cole of New’ York, and the three
presidential appointees—Mr. Delano,
Col. Dan Sultan, Engineer Commis
sioner, and Maj. Gen. Oscar Westover.
chief of the Air Corps and director of |
the Nationad Advisory Commission
for Aeronautics.

Nature’s Children
May.
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
AY, named for Maia, the Ro
man goddess of Spring abun
dance, lives up to her name.
It is the month when bird
migration is at its height, when the
Spring flowers are in full bloom, the
trees unfurling leaves and present
ing their floral display. To the na
ture lover, the month is so packed
with glorious sights, scents, scenes,
that he finds he must choose the
places and sights of enchantment he
wishes most to see.
Shall he visit the marshes, where
the sedges arc fresh and green, the
violets in great clumps on slightly
higher elevations than the adder's
tongue, the marsh wren flitting from
cattail to cattail and the red-winged
blackbird surveying the territory be
fore the ladies arrive? Shall he see
the wee nest of the sticklebacks, so
carefully anchored to the aquatic
plants?
Perhaps the muskrat is out on a
fine May day, repairing the roof of
his home, and if luck is with you his
youngsters will be in sight.
Down at the brook there will be
many old friends—the offspring of
the dobson fly and the strange looking
bulldoggish hunter, the dragon-fly
youngster. There will be the giant
water bug and the water boatmen and
many, many others in sight.
From shrub, bush, tree, fence will
come the songs or call-notes of birds.
There will be courting among them,
dancing, stunt flying, bowing and
much strutting. Some of them will
be hunting building sites, many start
ing their homes.
The procession of the gay flowers
will call out the newly born and the
overwintering insects. Above the
trees, the happy hum of honey bees
can be heard for many yards away.
The frog chorus is getting louder
each day. The singers seem to be
very happy and their musical appara
tus is in fine condition. Later in the
month you ean find the string of
black eggs that belong to the toad
and the mass of eggs of the frogs.
The air is filled with the call of the
tree frog. His silver chin bubble is
capable of making so much noise that
the little fellow trembles with delight.
A few turtles are abroad, coaxed
from their Winter retreat by the
warm rays of the sun. Ridges across
field, meadow, garden, tell the story
of the famous grub hunter, the mole,
as he wends his way under his sod
roof.
In the West and East mole babies
are born in this month. You find
the nursery of the mole at the base
of some stubble. The pocket gophers
▼tk
have accomplished their scanty Spring
housecleaning by hiding all the dirt
in a pocket and sealing it up!
In the ponds where there is a
heavy growth of vegetation, look for
the painted turtles. The babies have
bright crimson, bordered shields that
have yellowish margins. They are
festive loaking and make interesting
pets. Here, too, you will find eggs of
the salamanders.
In the deeper waters you may find
a pike mother laying her eggs as she
goes rapidly through the water. Later
in the month look under some shelter
ing bit of board or stone to see father
bullhead and his mate guarding their
eggs.
Possibly you will see the mink
mother, whose babies are needing food,
and muskrat babies are greatly de
sired.
Ferns, mushrooms, lichens and all
the many, many things you have
longed to see all Winter, now look
their best for you.

Brain Twizzlers
BY PROF. J. D. FLINT.
'J'HERE seems to be a large number
of coin problems drifting about
these days, not including the national
coin problem. Today we have one that
will tweak your ingenuity, figuratively
speaking, of course.
The coins, buttons, or what have
you should be numbered, for conven
ience, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The object
is to wind up with the coins in two
/ ASWtLL COINT .
( TRICK AMD I HAVEN T
\ ANV COINS /
i stacks of three each. To do this.
! whenever you move a coin it must
pass over three coins in each jump.
Incidentally, on the subject of dif
ferent kinds of problems, if you prefer
a particular kind of brain twizzlers
the professor would be glad to hear
from you.

Bedtime Stories
May Day Happiness.
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.
Consider circumstance you must.
But in It don't nut all your trust.
—Old Mother Nature.
HINGS had happened so fast
that Old Mr. Toad was not at
all sure just what had hap
pened. He knew that Jimmy
Skunk had pounced on Mrs. Toad.
He had seen that, for he had been
just a little way behind her. She
had been within two jumps of the
Smiling Pool when it had happened
and this had made it seem all the
more dreadful, for once she had
reached the water she would have
been safe from Jimmy Skunk. Some
how', it always seems worse where
disaster occurs right on the edge of
safety. Really, it isn't any worse, but
it does seem so.
Old Mr. Toad had himself stopped
and squatted close to the earth the
instant he had seen Jimmy Skunk.
He hadn't been seen, and by remain
ing perfectly still he had remained
unseen. But, squatting down that
way, he himself could see almost
nothing beyond a few inches from
his nose. So he didn’t see the fool
ish young Mouse that caused Jimmy
Skunk to take his paws oft Mrs. Toad,
and he didn't see the two frantic
jumps that had landed her in the
water and escape from Jimmy Skunk.
He did hear the splash she made,
and at the sound of it an abrupt
silence fell on the Smiling Pool. All
the singers in the great chorus there
stopped singing. A splash like that
meant danger, and the wise stopped
singing until they were reasonably
certain that the danger was over.
After some time the singing began
again. Then Old Mr. Toad slowly,
cautiously raised himself for a look
around. Jimmy Skunk had moved
off a short distance. He seemed to
be busy about something. Old Mr.
Toad thought he knew what it was,
and the very thought was very dread
ful. He had seen Jimmy Skunk
pounce on Mrs. Toad, so, of course,
it must be that now Jimmy was din
ing on Mrs. Toad. There was no
doubt of it in Old Mr. Toad's mind.
Evidence like this is what is called
circumstantial evidence, and circum
stantial evidence often is very con
vincing. even more convincing than
real evidence.
So it was w’ith a heavy heart that
Old Mr. Toad looked to see that the
way was safe for him to reach the
H (.AM
LONGLEGS STOPPED RIGHT IN
FRONT OF OLD MR. TOAD.
Smiling Pool. To whom should he
sing, now that Mrs. Toad was gone.
Once he was just about to start,
when who should come stalking along
the shore but Longlegs the Heron.
Old Mr. Toad squatted again and did
his best to look like a lump of earth.
Longlegs stopped right in front of
Old Mr. Toad, between him #md the
water. Longlegs stood in the water,
on one foot. He drew his head and
long neck back on his shoulders, so
that he seemed to have no neck at all.
Then he became as motionless as was
Old Mr. Toad. He stood and stood
and stood. He was waiting for a fish
or a Frog or a Toad to come within
reach. Being a fisherman, he has
the patience of a fisherman. So there
w-as nothing for Old Mr. Toad to do
but remain right where he was until '
Longlegs should leave. t
It was very trying to be so near
the water, yet unable to get to it.
When Longlegs had first appeared
stalking along the edge of the Smil
ing Pool the great chorus had ab
ruptly ended. After Longlegs had
stood motionless for a while the
singing was resumed, and soon the
chorus was as loud and as joyous as
before. At long last a school of small
fishes swam in close to Longlegs.
That long neck of his sprang out
and down, like a spring, and that
spearlike bill of his had the largest
of those fishes before they knew what
was happening. Longlegs swallowed
that fish, and then flew across to the
other side of the Smiling Pool.
Now was Old Mr. Toad's chance
and he made the most of it. You
should have seen him hop for that
water. Once in the water, he swam
out a little way. The very feel of
the cool water made him want to
sing, but, alas, who was there to sing
to now-? Then Old Mr. Toad was
startled by a familiar voice close to
him. “I thought you never would
come,” said the voice.
Old Mr. Toad turned his head and
blinked and blinked unbelievingly.
There was Mrs. Toad, alive and live
! ly. He gulped once or twice, then
began to swell out that music bag of
his. He just had to sing. And. after
all, that is what he had come to the
Smiling Pool for.
So it was that the next day, which
was May day, was a day of happi
ness for Old Mr. Toad. He took his
rightful place in the Smiling Pool
chorus and for the first time this
Spring that chorus was complete and
perfect. Never had Old Mr. Toad
sung better. Perhaps that was be
cause of his joy in having Mrs. Toad
to sing to, when he had supposed
she was lost forever. The Hylas sang
and the Tree Frogs sang and Old
Mr. Toad sang in the Smiling Pool,
and around it, in the alders and
rushes, sang Redwing the Blackbird
and Little Friend the Song Sparrow.
