TWO GA3SES OF TAG Ruth Dixon Sometime, when you are tired of playing regular tag and want something a little different, you might try "Wood Tag," which means that a person touching .wood cannot be tagged. When you are in real danger, of being tagged, just drop down and touch a twig or ' dash for a tree or fence post anything made of wood and you are safe. It's fun! Or you might try "Hanging Tag," which has a rule that anyone in a hanging position that is, with both feet off the ground cannobe tagged. Both are exciting games. Try them!

AprU It, !r3pojq mt lujax) Dear Miss Barrows: My brother, Mark, and I have a pet that is unusual because it doesn't do what the books say it should. It is a duck named Judy. Dad won her at a fair by throwing a dime in a little glass dish. We were afraid she wouldn't live, as she was very small and We fed her hard-boilegg yellows and now she eats chicken food. As everyone knows, ducks are supposed to love water, but our duck hates it! Last summer Mark and I tried to put her in a pail of water;--bushe no sooner touched it than she was out again. She looked at us kind of funny and then waddled away. Sincerely, Patti Shipman 14 Wenatchee, Wash. Age skinny. .

Dad was making lamps out of red cedar and he let me make one, too. The first one I made didn't turn out too welL I made another one and it was good. I took it to school for my teacher and she liked it very much. Now, I'm making wooden lawn animals. Someday I hope to have a shop of my own to work in. t Bill makes us whistles, guns, stools, wheelbarrows, and other things, and mends our toys when they are broken. Sometimes he calls us on the phone. One time he called me when I didn't want to take some medicine and I took it It didn't taste very bad. I wish all boys had a friend like Bill.
