She knew that she was beautiful. She stretched her stem upward and outward above the other zinnias. Everybody that passed by said, "How beautiful!" The girl who owned the g a r d e n came with a friend. "Look at my giant zinnia," said the girl proudly. "Isn't she a beauty?" "Yes," the other answered, "as big as a saucer. My zinnias are small." The girls' words made the big, red zinnia prouder. She looked around at the other zinnias and the little, quiet chichiricas. She seemed to say, "Did you hear what they said?" When the chichirica said nothing, the zinnia stuck out her lower lip and said, "Why don't you speak? At least you should be polite enough to answer when you are addressed." In her soft voice, the chichirica answered, "You are indeed beautiful. I admire yom· size and your color. But ... " "Well, but what?" the zinnia cut in angrily. "I wonder," the chichirica said slowly, "how long your beauty will last." "I don't know how long," snapped the zinnia, "but surely I will live longer than you. I am taller. · My stalks are bigger than yours." "Yes, they are. But I am sorry to tell you that I have seen zinnias grow and bloom and die many times. They lived right where you now stand." "They must be the small, weak ones like my sis~ers around me." After a while, the zinnia faced the chichirica again. "Do you mean to say that you, with your little common-looking flowers, will live longer than I? Of what use a1·~ you? Nobody notices you. "You are right. Nobody notices me. But I stay here even when all the bright zinnias are gone. The mi_stress does not u p r o o t me to be thrown into the fire." "How she envies me, the ugly little thing," the red zinnia muttered. A week passed and the zinnia was still attractive. People stopped to admire her many bright petals. The proud flower cast meaningful giances at her neighbor, the chichirica. The chichfrica said nothing. Then came a day when the zinnia did not feel well. She could no longer meet people's gazes with a broad smile. Some of her petals were no longer bright. She could not hold herself up. All the other zinnias around her were also wilted. The once bright petals were scatternd on the ground. The big, red zinnia died brokenhearted. Soon the gardener came. He pulled all the zinnias and threw them in a heap in a corner. When they were dry, he set fire to them. "Poor zinnia!" the humble chichirica sighed as she watched the fire. The girl came. She lingered around the chichirica. "I like you, my little gentle flower. Anytime during the year I see you smiling modestly at me. You are not very attmctive, but you are faithful." The little chichii·ica smiled with deep joy. July, 19J6 THE YOUNG CITIZEN 16~ The l-lappy Sun-Bird 0 NE clear, bright morning, a red-breasted SunBird was singing from a tree. A Gumamela Flower which stood there in the sunshine noticed him and said, "Oh hello, Mr. Sun-Bird! You seem very happy to-day!" "Well, yes, I am," said the Sun-Bird. "The day is fine, as you know, and from here at my tree-top I can see a good deal of the beautiful world." And he sang more and more. His voice was rich and beautiful. A gentle wind fanned the branches of the tree, so it was cool where the happy SunBird sat. When noon came, a Grasshoppe1· hopped into the shade under the ti·ee where the happy Sun-Bird was, and the Grasshopper said, "Is that you, Mr. Sun-Bird? You seem very happy to-day." "Well, yes," said the SunBird to the Grasshopper. "I am very happy, because the day is so fine as I see it here where I sit and watch the world." And he sang more and more. T h e n t h e Grasshopper hopped back into the grassy ~lawn where he had come' from. On the way he met the Guma. L mela Flower. The Gumamela j was smiling at him very kindly, and was saying, "Ah, you have come from ~ under the Sun-Bird's tree!" ~ "Why, yes," replied the , Grasshopper. ~ By N. V. M. GONZALE:S "The Sun-Bird seems v~ry happy there," said the Gumamela Flower. "The day is so fine, he said to me," explained the Grasshopper. "And from where he sits he could see the whole, beautiful world." And so saying, the Grasshopper hopped away further on to the edge of the lawn. He wondered about the Sun-Bird, and even when he had reached the edge of the lawn he could still hear the singing from the top of the tree. The Gumamela also won_dered why the Sun-Bird kept singing up the tree. In the afternoon the school bells rang, and little boys and girls ran out to the playground. At the edge of the lawn the Grasshopper was unnoticed, creeping low among the grass blades. 0 n t h e shrubs the s u n 1 i g h t har! turned away and no more did the Gumamela bloom there, for a shadow of a leaf had fallen upon it and its red petals became un.attractive. The school children playing around left the Grasshopper and the Gumamela Flower alone, but when they heard the Sun-Bird singing from the top of the tree they were very happy . "Aren't we just happy and lucky to-day?" some one said. "Look, there's a bird up there!" "Oh, he has a nest up there!" (Confinurd 011 page 1.90) 168 THE YOUNG CITIZEN July, 1986 A GIFT FROM T~E JUNGLE LIT A, Ben, Lucia and Babing could not go out to play. In clean clothes they sat near the front window, trying to entertain themselves with the antics of the dogs on the street. Their mother, Mrs. Andrade, had left for the market. "Your father is coming," she had said, "and I want you to be here when he arrives. I, myself, will hurry with my marketing. He wants to see us all here when he comes home from the sea." So Lita, Babing, Ben, and Lucia remained inside the house. Their father was coming, and they could not leave the house. They loved and feared their father too much to miss seeing him at the instant of his arrival. "I wonder what he will bring us now," Lita said. All of them looked at the parrot which their father had brought the last time. "I want a big ship which I can ride when it rains and the streets are flooded with water," said four-year old· Ben. "I want a captain's cap," said Babing. . · "I know what he will bring us," Lita said; "Colored fishes for our aquarium.'' "There are no colored fish where he is coming from," Lucia said. "Yes, there are," said Lita. By L. V. R. "There is none, there is none," Ben sang out. "There is none, there is none," . Babing echoed. Lita faced the other three. She was getting 'angry when a car stopped near their gate. "It's Tatay !" all the children cried, and they rushed to the stairs. A sun-burned man in a uniform came rushing up the stairs and tried to embrace all four children at once. The children asked so many questions that the happy father did not know which one to answer first. Suddenly, a sound of "Curacracra !" floated above the excited voices. The chilJuly, 1.936 THE YOUNG CITIZEN 169 dren were surprised. Above the window sill, clinging to the small bannister which parted the wide window, was a small monkey. His eyes were the brightest that the childr.en had ever seen. His wide mouth was drawn in a grin which revealed rows of flashing teeth. A tuft of white on the tip of his small nose gave him a naughty look. The children gathered around their father while he approached the window and took the monkey. "This is Unggoy," he introduced, "Unggoy, say how do you do." Unggoy extended a hairy paw and put it on the head of Babing. Babing laughe~ delightedly. "Give him to me, Tatay," he cried. "No, give him to me," said Ben, coming out of his trance. The girls drew away when their father gave the monkey to Ben. Unggoy put his claws to Ben's head and started parting his hair. Pretty soon, Mrs. Andrade arrived and the children left their father to welcome her. They ran down the stairs and showed Unggoy off to their friends. The little boys and girls of the neighborhood gathered around the little visitor from. the jungle. U nggoy gravely pulled the hair of the girls by way of saying welcome. "Are there many monkeys where you came from?" asked a curious boy. "Curacura," replied Unggoy. "That means 'yes'," interpreted Ben. "What do you eat?" asked another. Unggoy waved his paw in a wide geS·· ture, meaning, "Everything." When dinner time came, Unggoy had made a number of friends. He had pulled everybody's hair and .imitated the funny motions of Ben. He lunched on rice and bananas. He was careless about his manners, licking his coconut bowl dry and spilling his water, but tlie children enjoyed watching him, and he enjoyed the laughter of the children. That eveni11g, wh~n the children went t-o bed, Unggoy perched on the top of a bamboo c_upboard and went to sleep. Before long, he felt a movemer>t behind him. He turned quickly. A large robber cat was staring at him with. eyes that glowed irt the darkness. "Who are you?" growled the cat. "I am Unggoy," replied the monkey. "Do you live here?" · The. cat just growled, then he sprang upon Unggoy. Unggoy, though small, was very quick, and he sprang aside. Then he jumped on the cat's head and pulled the cat's long whiskers. The cat gave a howl of rage and pain and rushed away into the outside darkness. Unggoy blew cat's fur off his paws, then he went back to sleep. Early next morning, after th~ cock's crow, Unggoy woke up. He looked around him. He was surprised to see house waUs about him. They looked strange in the dark gray of the morning. They looked neither like the tall trees of the jungle nor the bare walls of the captain's cabin in the ship. He felt a great homesickness. With one bound, he leaped down the cupboard top and out of the window. He clung tight to a small tree. that grew directly outside. The feel of the slim branch reminded him of his jungle home and he swung and swung for· a while. After some time, he noticed trees around him. "Can this be another jungle?" he thought. Tall trees, small trees, slender trees, big trees grew inside a tall wall. He leaped from tree to tree with joy, s.creeching softly and working his funny face in a comical manner. S,.'1denly, a thought came to him.

She has asked the good fairies to take care of him. See how I have made him sleep. We fairies know that babies and little children must sleep a long time. CLEANLINESS FAIRY. Yes, that is true, and we know many other things, too. I am going to help keep the baby well by keeping J:iim sweet and clean. SLEEP FAIRY. How can you do that? CLEANLINESS FAIRY. Oh, I'll help his sister _to give him a bath every day and to change his littlP shirt eYery day. Then I'll tell her to keep all the flies away from the baby's food because the flies bring dirt and sickness on their feet. SLEEP FAIRY. Oh, those dirty flies! Sometimes they light on the baby's ·,face when he is asleep. FRESH AIR FAIRY' (enters). I heard you talking about the baby and I want to help, too. I know how I can help. SLEEP FAIRY. Good! What will you do, Fresh Air Fairy? FRESH AIR FAIRY. I shall tell some one to open all of the windows at night. Night air is good air. It will not hurt any July, 1936 THE YOUNG CITIZEN I 71 one, because, you see, night is only a big shadow. CLEANLINESS FAIRY. Very good, Fresh Air Fairy. Do you know any other way to help us? FRESH AIR FAIRY. Yes. Did you say the baby's mother is sick? SLEEP FAIRY. Very l\icJ\ but she.loves her baby and wants to hold hil'll in her arms and kiss him. FRESH AIR FAIRY. Oh, she must not do that. If she loves her baby, she must not give him her sickness by kissing him. We must tell her to let the baby sleep all alone. Sleep Fairy, that is your work. SLEEP FAIRY. Of course. I'll do that. (Enters Good Food Fairy carrying a bottle of milk.) · GOOD FOOD FAIRY. If you are planning to keep the baby well, I must help you. CLEANLINESS FAIRY. Yes, indeed, Good Food Fairy, we can .not succeed unless you help us. Ge>OD FOOD F'AIRY. Let me look at the baby. (Goes to bed and talks as she examines the baby.) He is a nice fat baby, isn't he? What food does he get, I wonder. SLEEP FAIRY. Perhaps his sister gives him rice and a little bread and coffee. GOOD FOOD FAIRY. Oh! no, I am sure she does not feed him rice ;md bread. Little babies cannot grow strong and healthy on such food. They must have food that is good for little children. See, I have brought a bottle of fresh milk. This will make him grow strong. CLEANLINESS FAIRY. But are you very sure, Good Food Fairy, that your milk is clean? · GOOD FOOD FAIRY. Yes, indeed, I am very careful about that. You see, this is go;t's milk tha.t is very fresh. It was boiled one minute. I like this milk best for babies but there are other kinds of milk that are good, also. CLEANLINESS FAIRY. What kinds are good and clean, too? GOOD FOOD FAIRY. Cow's milk is good if the cow that gave it is not sick and if no dirt gets into it when the cow is milked. CLEANLINESS FA.IR Y. Anything else? GOOD FOOD FAIRY. Yes, many kinds of milk that come in bottles and in cans. They He very good, too. The kind that is not sweetened is best. (Enters Play Fairy with a skippingrope.) - PLAY FAIRY. I am Play Fairy.

I am very busy all the time teachir>.g the school boys and girls to play games. Some of them skip like this (skips). Some of them play tag, and the big boys play ball. CLEANLINESS FAIRY. What do the girls like best'? PLAY FAIRY. I think the girls like to dance best. Sometimes they dance on their toes like this (dances), and sometimes they wave their arms like fairies. GOOD FOOD FAIRY. Do you want all of the children to run and play? PLAY FAIRY. All the children who are not sick. But my friend, the Cheerfulness Fairy, helps me. Here she comes now.

Don't you notice that the dress is very strong and durable? You can wear it for a long time, either to school or when playing games. It can be washed often, for the colors are fast and do not fade easily. The Ilocano cloth is also ideal for making blankets, towels, bathrobes, and other things that can be used in the home. The cloth is so strong that whatever is made out of it lasts a long time. As the name suggests, it is woven in the Ilocos region. Weaving it is a household industry, and almost every Ilocano woman or girl can do it. The cloth is made froin cotton yarn and threads imported from the United States, Great Britain, Japan and China. Local cotton is also used, and many weavers believe that the cloth made of our own cotton lasts longer than that which is made with foreign cotton. Due to the higher cost of local cotton, however, Ilocano weavers have to used the imported threads. The looms that the women of the Ilocos use are still primitive in comparison with those used by other weavers. But this should be, since the Ilocano cloth is strong and bulky, whereas the other Philippine cloths are light and fine. These looms have been doing good work for a long time. During the St. Louis and Panama expositions the cloth they turned out were awarded prizes. About five years ago, the Ilocano cloth was sold mostly by peddlers who go from house to house with their goods. Now, however, the spirit of protectionism has made it very popular again. Many schoolgirls and business women wear dresses made of Ilocano cloth. Stripes in different ~olors make the Ik>2ano cloth attractive. The ~oung llfousekeeper Simple Recipes For The Young Cook Wilted Lettuce Have you ever eaten cooked lettuce? It tastes quite as good as the raw lettuce which we usually have for salad. Here is a way to cook lettuce without removing the elements that make lettuce very good food. Wash about one hundred leaves of lettuce. Shake from them as much water as possible. Mix together 4 tablespoonsful of vinegar, 5 tablespoonsful of water, 3 tablespoonsful of sugar, 1 teaspoonful of salt. Pour this mixture in a hot carajay where two tablespoonfuls of fat have melted. Heat the mixture to boiling point. Drop the lettuce leaves uncut into the boiling mixture and turn them over several times. After 5 or 6 minutes, the leaves will be wilted, and they can be removed from the carajay and served with fish or meat. Mongos Wash mongos and cover them with three or four times as much water. Let the mongos soak for a day or during the night. Pour off the remaining water and boil the mongos for an hour. When the mongos are soft, they may be eaten with milk and sugar. If you wish to serve mongos for dinner or supper, go through the procecjure given above, then cook with the mongos small pieces of fat meat and shrimps. Add enough salt to taste. July, 1!186 THE YOUNG CITIZEN 173 Reading Time for Little Folks Nena and the Dog Nena was going to school one morning. She opened the door. She saw a strange dog in the middle of the stairs. "Go away," she said. The dog would not go away. "Go away," she said again. But the dog lay still. Nena saw the broom in a corner. She got it and went to the door. "I shall hit you with this broom," she said to the dog. The dog was not frightened. Nena could not beat the dog with the broom. She felt sorry for the dog. "I know what I shall do," she said. She went to the kitchen and got a piece of bread. Then she returned to the door. She threw the piece of bread as far as she could. The dog saw the piece of bread. He gave a happy bark, then he ran after the piece of bread. Now, Nena could pass on the stairs. Lita and the Butterfly Lita went to the garden one afternoon. She saw a big Butterfly. The Butterfly flew from flower to flower. "What are you doing?" Lita asked the butterfly. "Go away, little girl," said the Butterfly. "Can't you see I'm very busy?" "Are you busy?" asked Lita. "I thought you were only playing." "I am not pla)'.ing," said the Butterfly. "I am working to get some food." "Where do you get your food?" Lita asked. "I get my food from the flowers. My food is the nectar that they have in their centers.'' "What is nectar?" Lita wanted to know. "Nectar is the honey that I find in the flowers." The Butterfly then fluttered its wings. "Go away, I am very busy and you ask me so many questions. Go away." Lita laughed to see the Butterfly so busy, then she went away. 174 THE YOUNG CITIZEN July, 1936 By Tranquilino Sitoy Malaybalay, Bukidnon "Not so sweet as it should be Is the song you sang to me. But I thank you. You may take one, For now must I be gone." Then the mouse went down the hill, To look for other songs for sale. He met a bird high on a limb, A kackock who called to him. "Little Mouse, hear. I pray thee. Please give some of those to me. If you like with me a trade I'll pay you with what be said." "Sing a song that I may listen Under trees whose leaves do glisten, Then I'll give you what I've here, For sweet songs to me are dear." "Sago ... gok," the bird began, "Sago . . . gok," and all was done. "This to me is very sweet. The best that you will ever meet." " 'Tis not pleasing to my ear. My mother would not care to hear The songs of the sagoksoks. Take one, though, taste how she cooks." He went up and down the hill Till he saw a big hornbill Who asked him, "What is that you bring? What do you want for the thing?" BUYING "A sweet song is all I want. 'Tis a song I wish to hunt. (Continued from If your voice is sweet by chance Sing a song that I may dance." "Koo, koo, tongkago, koo, koo. Children call me tongkago, koo. I live in Lumagapoo.1 Koo, koo, tongkago, koo, koo." "Sweeter than the first I've heard Is the song of this queer bird. Thank you for what you've given. For that I'll give you seven." He desired a song still sweeter. Perhaps, thought he, there is one better. And later he met an oriole. An oriole, yellow and beautiful. "Little Mouse, how tired you must be," The oriole said. "Come and rest with me. Come in and take a seat. 0, you have something nke to eat." "I have traveled from morn till noon, Filled with sadness and some gloom. If you sing me some sweet songs I'll give you what to me belongs." ' In the native dialect this means a mountairi where the hornbills live. July, 1996 THE YOUNG CITIZEN A SONG Last Issue) "0 then, listen while I tweet The songs that are very sweet. I will try to let you hear The songs that I hold dear." "Tee tee yolao tee yolao, Children call me tiolao, Tee tee yolao tee yolao, They say I am tiolao." "It is near to being fair, But it is lost in the air. You've done your very best. Your song is sweeter than the rest. "Now I must go down the plain. I will come to you again, And pay the price of your song If I can't find a sweeter one." Little Mouse gave him twelve crackers, Then he bound the rest together, They will buy a song still unsung, Sweeter than the rest had been. Then he saw a lively quail Running up and down the hill, Filled with joy . . . and full of mirth, The liveliest creature on the earth. "Little Mouse," softly said he, "What a dinner this would be! If you tell me what you wish I will give it all for this." "A song is what I wish to cherish, A song so sweet is all I seek, A song is what I wish to cherish A song so sweet is all I seek." "A song is what you wish to cherish. I will sing the song you wish. If that is all that makes you sad, With my song will I make you glad. "Pee pee yoga. Pee pee yoga. Singer of the meadow low. Happily, happily singing as I play. Merrily, merrily dancing all the day." " 'Tis the seventh song I've heard. 'Tis the one by me adored. First, here's one cracker for thee, Then please sing again for me," "Pee pee yoga. Pee pee yoga. Singer of the meadow low. Happily, happily singing as I play. Merrily, merrily dancing all the day." "Pee pee yoga. Pee pee yo--eek . This is the sweet song I seek. Sing it once more, line liy line. This is the song I wish were mine." "Pee pee yoga. Pee pee yoga. Singer of the meadow low. T.hat is what you next should say. Sing it fairly in that way." (To be continued) 17'.176 THE YOUNG CITIZEN July, 1931; Chapter Sixteen The Story of a Foundling LOLO had hardly recovered from sur, prise at the old cook's strange behavior when Mrs. Del Valle rushed in very much excited. "Tony, my boy!" she cried as she threw herself upon Tonio, who was lying on a bamboo bed. "Something told me. I was a fool to have doubted," 'she said brokenly as she stripped the boy of his pants. Mr. Del Valle, who had followed her, helped in turning the astonished boy on his back. His pelvis exposed, they saw a purplish-red birthmark as wide as a man's palm. "My own! My precious!" and Mrs. Del THE ADVENTURES OF A BEGGAR BOY by Julio Cesar Pena' Valle smothered the boy with kisses. Mr. Del Valle carried Tonio in his arms and walked out of the room. "To his own room my dear, my baby's," Mrs. Del Valle told her husband as she followed him. "I thought so. I thought so," the old cook pronounced solemnly, slapping the blind man on the back. ''Do you mean they are convinced my Tonio is their own child?" Lalo asked, his voice tremulous with great emotion. "Yes, the birthmark will not lie." "What birthmark?" Lalo was puzzled, for he did not know that Tonio bore any. "The big, red mark on his pelvis. Now, Lola, tell me the story. They won't care to hear it. It is enough that they have found their baby." July, 1936 THE YOUNG CITIZEN 177 The blind man turned his sightless eyes heavenward. ' Passing his hand over his brow, he began slowly, "It was June, almost ten years ago, and the transplanting season was in full swing." "Why, where did you live?" the cook interrupted. "Very far, at a small sitio about two hours' walk from the provincial road of Bulacan." "Bulacan! That is not far. The Master spent a great deal on public and private detectives. I cannot see why they failed to find the baby." "Perhaps because I lived in a small nipa hut set apart from the cente1· of the sitio. As I was saying, it was transplanting time and all the men and women of the sitio were out in the field the whole day. I was staying with my widowed daughter, who made a living by helping the farmers with the planting, harvesting, and threshing. On Saturdays and Sundays she also peddled rice cakes. "It was a Saturday and my daughter had an unusually hard day. She came home late and we ate our supper at about eight o'clock. We lingered over our meal as she recounted to me the farm gossip. " 'Mang Juan's boy has reported having seen a very dim light in the haunted shack,' '.' she said. " 'Ho, the old story'," I poohed. "Everybody believes the shack is haunted, but nobody has seen the ghost.' " " 'This is different, Father,' " she countered. " 'The dogs howl fearfully at odd intervals in the night. The neighbors declare that the dogs are seeing things which are invisible to man.' . "Just then our dog ·gave a piercing cry. We were silent for a while. I got up and felt for my cane under the papag. My daughter washed the dishes right where she was, using our drinking water. I sensed that she was afraid to go out to the batalan where our jars of wash water were." "Did you not go out, Lo!o ?" "Not right away.. Presently there was an insistent barking.

I gave him my family name and so he has been known as Antonio Ramos." "What about the person who had brought the baby, Lolo? Was anything found out about him or her?'.' "Nothing at all.

There comes a time in the life of every boy when the desire for adventure is one of the great compelling forces. Sea Scouting gives the boy an opportunity to satisfy this desire. Sea Scouting is a program of marintine or seamanship activities carried out by the Philipine Boy Scouts through the Sea Scouting Department of thi! Boy Scouts of America. It prepares the boy for emergencies on land and water, and gives him a varied program of graded seamanship which develops his knowledge of the sea and its ways.

The children Select th>? instruments that they want to play. One may select the drum, another may select the trombone, an<l so on. until every one has an instrument. Then the players form a circle. A director stands in the mid· die of the circle. At a signal from the director, the players go through the motion of playing their instruments. While they are doing this, the director keeps time with his hands, as real directors do. After a while, the director imitates the action of one of the players. The one imitated must play that he is the director or he will be fined. The former director now plays an instrument, while the new director waits for a whit~. then imitates the action of another player. PASE EN ORDEN "Pase en orden" is a game played by a "Mother Hen" and her "chickens. "The "Mother Hen" says: "Pase en orden" or "Pass in order." The "Chickens" reply: "Conventong malalim," meaning, "a very deep convent." The "Mother" then says. "Take a flower the gumanl.ela," or "rosal," or "sampaguita." The chickens rush away to get the flower named. The one who arrives first with the flow_er may stay with the mother.

THE YOUNG CITIZEN July, 1936 Aun~ Julia's True Stories COMMON Sl-IRUBS Shrubs are bigger plants than the herbs, a number of which you read about in the past issues of "The Young Citizen." Shru~s have hard bodies like trees but much smaller than ·trees. They are usually a meter or two in height. Shrubs that ban many trunks are o.lkd bushes. Rosal. santan, sampaguira. <lama de nochc are bushes. San Francisco is a shrub. The most widely known and the best beloved of all bush flowers is the sampaguita. Because its modest blossom and delicate fragrance typify the nature of the Filipino, the sampaguita has been designated our national flower. The sampaguita is worn as necklaces, coronets. and garlands. It is used profusely in churches, at weddings, and at processions. Can you name other uses of the sampaguita?. The rosal is taller than the sampaguica. Rosal shrubs dot many plazas or line che .')idewalks of many Philippine towns. Why is the rosal so popular? Its white flower w.ith a heart of gold is attractive and exceedingly fragrant. When in bloom, the entire crown of che shrub is covered with flowLike the sampaguita, the rosal is used in churches and at processions. Like the camia, the ilang-ilang and .the champaca, the rosal is used as a cross at the end of a sampaguita rosary. The sampaguita and the rosal are widely popular, but the <lama de noche is the sovereign of the garden at night. lcs tiny greenish white flowers that grow in clusters do not attract attention in the daytime. But at night the blossoms on a small plane will fill a whole neighborhood with a sweet perfume. Santan is about as big as the rosal. Its little flowers grow in big attractive dusters. There are white, pink, red. and cream santan. This bush is used as an ornamental plant like the rosal. The pink kind is delicately fragrant but t~e others are almost odorless. Shrubs are cultivated as ornamental plants not only because of their attractive or fragrant flowers, but also for their attractive! y brig~t foliage. You an~ familiar with the San Francisco.

The trouble you take in caring for a pet i!> more than compensated by the pleasure you re.lp and the fine traits of character you develop in yourself. Dogs, cats, rabbits or Guinea pigs, goldfish, birds, and monkeys make interesting pets. Even the most selfish child will learn thoughtfulness and develop a sense of responsibility when he keeps a pet. A dog is the most faithful and useful pet. He makes a devoted companion. a faithful guard, and an excellent hunter. In return for all his serv'ict!s, you should give him the necessary care and consideration. Two things are sacred to a dog: his bed and his food. From earliest puppyhood, the pet must be trained to stay in places that belong to him. He must have his own corner for a bed. When asleep. he must not suddenly be disturbed. Give a sofr word or a whisper to awaken him. When a dog is busy on his choice bone. he must not be bothered. Someone has said that stealing a bone from your pct is an outrage on his self-respect. A dog will always use his teeth to protect his bed and his food. (Read more about dogs in the coming issues of The Young Citizen.) How The Month Of JULY Was Named This month was named by the ancient Romans in honor of Julius Caesar, the founder of the Ro· man Empire. His birthday was on the twelfth day of July. Julius Caesar was one of the greatest generals ot all times. He extended the boundaries .of Rome to Asia, Africa, and to Great Britain. He became th!.! Jtrst supreme ruler or emPeror ol' the Roman l:.mp1re. Although exer.;ising grcat Powers, he did not want to be crowned king. He was not only a great ~oldier. Hc was al.so a wise statesman and a historian. He had many plans to make the Romans happy and prosperous.

He i:aref ully clambered down the ·wall. then he stopped. A huge animal was waiting for him at the foot of the wall. "'A tiger!" he tho.light, seeing that the big animal had no heavy mane. He quickly climbed up .th.: ·wall, "his teeth chattering with fear. Edow. the growling had turned into a sharp bark. as the neighbor's dog cried after the strange little monkey to come down and fight. U nggoy ran as fast as he could. He did not know that the huge animal was only a ·dog. Unggoy swung from tree to tree till he got to the low santol tree which he had di~covered that morning. There h~ paused, tired and frightened. He heard the rustle of broad leaves, .l sound that was _familiar to him. Looking to where the sound came from he gave a shout of joy, for there, before him, was his old friend, the banana tree. 'Tm so glad to see you here." he cried. The banana said not a word, but it ruffled its leaves with pleasure. Unggoy swiftly ran up the smooth trunk and embraced the big bunch of ripening fruit which hung down the trunk. He seized th-: first fruit that shone f!_old in the ~un. HE" started to eat. The children woke up. They ran to the dining room and looked at the top of the cupb1 ard. It was empty! "He is gone!·· Ben cried, and got ready to cry.

The others put their heads out of the window and, sure enough. there was Unggoy, grinning and eating to his heart's content. A mound of banana leaves had formed on the ground, and the children wondered at the number cf bananas he could eat. "He is going to eat all the b.a.nanas ! " cried Ba bing. "Come down!" shouted Ben. ' COME DOWN!" the others shouted. Unggoy slowly, went down the b.:nana tree. He · patted his fat stomach and grinned at the .children. Then, on all fours. he returned to the house. "I don't suppose you need any breakfast,'' said Mother. "Curacura," replied Unggoy. But· he accepted the piece of bread that Ben handed to him. He ate this as fast as he could. then he put out his hand for more. The children watched him with fear while he ate. What if his stomach should burst! But Unggoy merely p;itted his big stomach and went on eating whatever was given him. He drank a cup of milk, chm grinning and- screeching, he jumped up <tnd dcwn. "Life is good," he thought," this is a fine home." 188 THE YOUNG CITIZEN MOVIE PAGE Harold and Carl "Alfalfa" Switur.5 MOVIE SHORTS ,July, 19:JIJ D;;rla looks v.ery cute in her long, white panes and nice sweater.

Some years ago a teacher asked his young pupils-"When you become men and women, what do you want to be? . What occupations do .you like to study?" Some answered that they wanted to be soldiers, policemen, lawyers, doctors, carpenters, housekeepers,. and nurses. Others mentioned other occupations. To become a teacher, a lawyer, a nurse, or a soldier is good because our· country needs this kind of men, and many others who can work to make our country prosperous and our people happy. But while we are yet in the grades we must remember that lo become a teacher, a nurse, or a policeman we should study diligently. Only to wish to become a teacher or a doctor does not make us a teacher or a doctor. We should wish, certainly, but we should work diligently toward getting our wish. Let us study diligently no\\· that we are in school. Let uR try to learn well om; daily lessons. Let us form the habiti; of working hard and honestly. Little by Ii ttle, year after year, we learn much and form many good habitR which will make us good teachers, good lawyers, 01· good soldiers, and good citizens. Let us, therefore, begin to work now for that which we want to be when we become men and women. !.
