Saturday Eveniag, December THE DECATUlt I PAGE THREE. The CHILDREN'S CORNER Give Birds Suet For Christmas Present Will Be Greatly Api Predated, BY MARY SEAMAX. Tou can give the birds a very nice Christmas prerent, if you care to do so, by putting out some suet for them. When snappy cold weather arrives the birds are very glnd to fcave som feed where they know they can get it, nd as they are par- toiularly fond of suet, this is a welcome addition to their diet. Many of the birds live, quite largely, on bugs and worms in the sum- time, of course using grains and Treed seeds as well.

These birds that are pest eaters miss the animal diet In the winter an-i are therefore the ones that return persistently to your euet. If you feed the birds you will, of attract some very unpleasant netsWsors, as the English, sparrow, the blue jay and one or two others may come to your feast. There some undesirable neighbors even among the birds. There are several ways to give the birds suet. You may put it under chicken wire and let them get their by peeking at It the holes.

Tou may'hang it or tack it tree, but If you do this you will disappearing in great chunks the blue jay Is always greedy for euet and Is a thief also. Another way works very well. Get a piece of rough bark from a hickory, maple or elm tree melt the suet and pour It -while hot over the rough bark tha indentions filled as it hardens. Tou can then tie or tack it lo a post or tree. Do not be disappointed if It is borne days before the birds find your euet If you are in a good location you will have, eventually, many guests.

There should be downy chickadees. titmice, brown creepers, nuthatches and many if your suet is rightly laced. yon learn something- of your tilrd neighborhood you will find that locating the suet Is largely guess Work. Maple and elm trees are good places it should be where you can watch it frojr a window if you are to have much pleasure from the visits of yonr guests. FORBIDS PRESENTS FOR CIVIL SERVANTS Vienna.

ADVENTURES OF THE TWINS Mixed "Letters BY OIJVE ROBERTS BARTON One of the meanest things he did the children wrote to Santa Clans. Tweekanose d'ld the worst things ever! One of the meanest things he did was to change the notes around that the children wrote to Santa Claus.

And Nancy and Nick, Santa's faithful little helpers, had to keep their sharp eyes wide open every mlnu'te. One day, after Nick had come out of a chimney, after searching arounrl in the soot for Tommy Thompson's note, this is what he read. (The A PUZZLE A DAY Fill in the stars v.uh ieturs, and you will find two words, one reading across and the other from top to bottom. The words will give a name familiar to everyone at Christmas time.

"Why there isn't a river around for miles, or even a creek. Besides it's cold and everything's frozen up. I should think he wonM want a sled and akates and things that." "It is queer!" declared Nick. No wonder they were surprised. Tommy's house was on a wide, snow-covered plain with high mountains in the distance.

And even if there had been any water it would bo frozen hard for months to come. But the mystery was discovered, for down 'south In a warm country, i na house beside a deep, clear river, the Twins found this note Johnny Johnson's chimney: "Der Santy Claws: "I wood like a pare of ice-creepers, and a big flexable flier sled, and a pare of sharp ice-skates, and some new mittens and a fur cap, ar.d a hocky stik.

We made the story ot how the pine tree became a Christmas tree. First we made a forest' with one small tree in It, and many large trees. We made these trees with leaves that hang down like real evergreen trees. Next we made a sleigh drawn by two horses with, the small evergreen tree on it. We made a road leading -to the house.

On one of the hills near Bethlehem we had the shepherds watching their sheep. We cut the shepherds out of cardboard and used cotton for the sheap. We made palm trees out of green paper.
