(Conducted by Jenneve Miller, Girl Scout Field Executive) BERKELEY, Aug. 18. If you want to get the surprise of your young life, look at some of the powdery "dust" which comes off a butterfly's wing, through a microscope. Can you draw what you see, and send it in to us? One of our readers says that moss is a wonderful sight under a microscope, also. Let's look and find out! Have you ever gone tramping somewhere, and come across a skunk's, tracks or those of a raccoon? Even if you haven't had a chance to get unusual tracks, you might like to make plaster casts of your dog's or cat's tracks.

the way to make casts of plaster when the tracks are inmud: Around the tracks place a strip of paper made into a sort of collar, or use a baking-powder can or coffee can with the bottom removed. Place can over the track. -Measure out the amount of dry plaster of paris that you think would cover the track to a depth of an Inch. Place this in a tin can. Quickly mix enough water with this so that it forms a batter like pancake- batter.

Work very rapidly as plaster hardens quickly and cannot again be softened with water. POTJR ON TRACKS. pour the batterlike plaster onto the track, but from one side of the track, not right on top of it-er-you ay disturb the outline. Then mooth the-pile of batter with a stick and while still soft, scratch on it the name of the animal making the track, the date, and the place where the track was found. Wait until plaster has thoroughly set before turning over the cast and digging away the dirt or mud.

Wash off the mud as best you can, using an old tooth brushor a handful or-sand for rubbing. This will be the first permanent record, and thecast is negative. Next Sunday we will print directions for making the positive cast from the negative you have just learned howt to make. Watch for it.

The outstanding opponent continues to be State control in all its forms.
