LOUIS POST-DISPATCH do-it-yourself animal antics Capturing A Little Bit Of Color Hi" 'm Collared For Fighting A dog is a dog to another dog, even though he may be a superstar to his human friends. Sandy, the canine hero of the musical "Annie," discovered that fact the other day when he got into a fight with another dog backstage in the theater. Sandy was bitten close to his left eye and required several stitches to close the wound. He missed a couple of performances, but as a veteran trouper, he is now back in the show again.

When he isn't performing, Sandy must wear a big cardboard collar to prevent him from scratching the wound. During the show, it is removed; but when he trots offstage, his trainer puts it back vy 8ajmiii''tiiiiMiiiiwi(Wrl iron on "wool." Make sure that the steam vent is turned off. Place the warm iron gently on top of the "leaf sandwich," watching carefully until the melted wax begins to show on the newspaper. Lift the iron straight up and put it down next to where you pressed the first time. When you have covered the whole area where the leaves are, run the iron over the paper slowly and carefully to melt the wax in any spaces you may have missed in your block pressing.

Turn the waxed paper "sandwich" over and run the iron lightly over the back side. When the leaves have cooled, pull the waxed paper sheets apart carefully and lift off the leaves. Even though they are permeated (spread throughout) with wax, the leaves are still fragile. Use the leaves to decorate your bulletin board or arrange them with some gourds on your dining table. When you find some especially pretty- leaves, do you wish you could keep them forever? Normally they will dry and fade and crumble, but there is a way that you can keep them bright and colorful for a while.

All you need to do so is several sheets of waxed paper (bread wrappers will do if they are made of waxed paper), a bath towel, some newspaper and an iron. And your leaves, of course. When you have chosen your leaves, spread the bath towel on a work table or kitchen counter. On top of that, lay four or five thicknesses of newspaper and one sheet of waxed paper. Arrange your leaves, face down, on the waxed paper, 'being careful not to overlap any of them.

Very carefully, cover the leaves with another piece of waxed paper and top the "leaf sandwich" with two more layers of newspaper. Set the heat regulator of the immediately. Sandy will have to wear it and the bandage until the stitches are removed. jokes by you Why are the days long in the summer and short in the winter? In the summer the heat expands them, and in the winter the cold contracts them. Alison Robbins here do cavemen sleep? On bedrock.

Raking and burning leaves used to be a sure sign of autumn, but now it is illegal in most places because it pollutes the air. The Falling Leaves It's autumn in our part of the country. The colorful leaves that we think of as part of the mid-October scene are slowly appearing all across the countryside.

Tradition says that Jack Frost paints the leaves; but in fact, the frost that hits the green trees often kills the leaves, turning them brown rather than brilliant red or yellow. The shorter days with their fewer hours of daylight start the leaves turning color. Without the sunlight necessary to keep growing, the trees begin to form corky cells in the leaf stems and stop up the trees' circulation systems. When no water can get to the leaves from the roots, the leaves can no longer make chlorophyll. So, the green color all fades away, leaving only yellow pigments.

Willow, aspen, poplar, beech, hickory, elm and ash trees all turn this characteristic yellow. Other kinds of trees such as many maples, hawthornes, plums, dogwoods, oaks and black gums turn red. When their circulation systems are blocked, the sugars cannot get out of the leaves and build up there, turning them varying shades of reds from brilliant orange to russet. What kinds of trees do you have around your home? Around your school? Do they stay green longer than the trees out in the country do? Sometimes trees can be fooled by street lights or flood lights on nearby buildings into staying greener longer. What do you think would happen to a tree that was kept in a greenhouse and given consistent (the same) hours of light and feedings every day, all winter long?
