Dear Folks: You remember about the 12-6 club banquet that was held down at the Y. M. C. A. the last of June, don't you? I wish every single one of you could have been there, not only to see all the interesting things that happened, but to get the spirit of the men who were there, so that when you grow up you can be in the big worth-while movements, too. The main part of the program was about the long distance telephoning. There were two real telephones on one of the big long tables and when the different men talked they went there. But for all the rest of us, there was little round receivers all fastened to long wires that went all down the five .long tables and around the gallery so that everybody could have one. And then we heard the men Mk to New York and say, "Hello New York,' and they would say, "Hello, Richmond ;" and then our man siid "WtuU time have you," and they said about an hour faster than we had, and our man said "Thank you. Hello, Chicago." "Hello, Richmond." "What time have you?" And the man told us just about the same as we had, so our man said, "Thjk you. "Hello, Denver," and that was the way they did until finally they talked clear to California, and then there were lots of Richmond people there si tbey talked quite a while. The people out in California even played a victrola record for us over the telephone, and we heard every note of it. And too, they had a telephone down by the seashore so they let us hear the roar of the waves. But, folks, the thing I will remember longest about that banquet, is that there were the men of our city who are making it what it is, who stand for all the things that are better and greater, men who live in this age when things are being done and who help to do them. And, boys and girls, you be with those people. AUNT MOLLY. How many of you have reel brothers and sisters? Maybe you don't know what having a real brother means, do you? Why, the only way to have one, is to be one. Did you ever wish that your brother or sister would play what ycu wanted to? Then suppose, juil for fun some time, you do what they want to instead, and tee how it works. And did you ever long for a friend to talk to on rainy says? Well, suppose sometime you try treating your brother or sister as one, and find out what they think about and what they read. There are two little brothers that I know, who are the best chums ever. What ever one does, , the other wants to help with, too; and the big brother likes to ha3 him do it. And if you don't have a real brother yourself, you don't know what mighty good times they have. Why no one can be as good a companion .as your own folks, and when you quarrel witli your brother or sister, you are spoiling the best friendship you ever could have. Try being one and then see If I'm not right. "The Little Bum" Once a policeman saw a little bum Sitting on a curbstone chewing rubber gum. Said the policeman to the little bum, "Give me some." "Not on your tintype," said the littie bum.

Hiking Club in Two Groups The River Dale Hiking Club is divided into two groups which take long tramps on alternate Saturdays. Last weeJc the section of which Charles Ryle is a member hiked to Hagerstown with Mr. Melpolder, returning on the hack, but Charles was so enthused over his military attainment in taking such a long march that he wrote to his brother in Chicago to send him a regular khaki unform which he now wears from morning to night, much to the envy of all the other fellows.

Boo" Guards Station House While Men Fight With Fires

"Boo" is the brindle bulldog that lives down on North Eighth street and keeps as close a watch on the fire engine house as the firemen themselves. When any telephone call comes to the station, Boo knows that special ring from any other in the neighborhood and is on the spot at once. But when the horses dash out he nearly goes wild with excitement. Although he would like to go to the fires with the wagon he only accompanies the men for a square or two, and then returns to guard the engine house until the men return. If any one tries to enter while they are away, Boo is ready to fight. He surely is the pet of No. 1 hose house. Exchange WANTED To buy a second-hand bicycle.

Dickinson Bank Has Big Door

The new Dickinson Trust Bank has some of the most interesting features. The safe has the most huge door you ever can imagine. It is round and white, and fastened with ever so many big brass bolts that are so heavy that even a grown man said he couldn't muscle one of them. And in this door is a little clock that is fixed somehow so that the safe will never unlock until a certain hour in the morning. So after the door is shut, no one. not even the President, can open it until the next day. And another thing different is the way they get their fresh air. There is a room in the cellar just meant for letting in the good, clean air and then the current passes through a spray of cold water, so that when the air comes up into the rooms it is as cool and pure as it can be. WHAT IS ABACA? Have you ever heard of the abaca plant? It is something like the banana plant, except the fruit isn't good to eat. It is one of the important products of the Philippines and is used extensively in making rope. But the other day it was funny; the men had a friend visiting down there, and, of course, they wanted to show their mascott. Some of the men tapped the little signal bell, and you should have seen Boo come. He more than got there, and jumped around and barked, looking at the doors all the lime, waiting for the horses to come out. Nothing happened. Poor Boo looked at the men, and then at the doors; and then he sort of whined and looked up at the men again. Suddenly it sort of dawned on him what was going on, and with a little snif of disgust, he walked out of the building with the air of an injured king. Column TO SELL A 2A Scout camera.

Our Saturday Talk

Comradeship. Did you ever feel the lack of this: of comradeship in the highest things between father and 6on? There is a story of how God said to the Israelites that they must talk to their children about the best things, they knew, which in thir case happened to be the history of past dealings. Your father probably will tell you about present dealings; what they are in some cases, what they may be or ought to be in others. Christian usually do find today the best in all history. The Israelites placed this history upon the door pests and bound it upon their foreheads and in other ways made tokens. The days of such picturesque instructions and comradeship in high things has passed. Indeed the training in moral things is often very matter-off at, is it not? And do you plan to compel the fathers to bring about the reform alone? Here is the text: "Ask thy father and he will show thee, thine elders and they will tell the" ( Deut. xxxii:7. The father only speaks AFTER the son has asked. What are the technical parts of a sermon? Never mind; there is only space here to illustrate that the subject really is, and you are to preach for yourself a practical sermon, just the kind a boy likes, wherever you are, on the porch, or in the study or under that big tree in the back yard. I once had two confidences; close together they wer. The connection was truly very close. A college boy talked of the best questions, the best hopes and the biggest prob Glen Miller Is Popular For Outings Everybody likes to think of the Glen these hot days, and better rtill be out there, but how many of you have seen these things when you have been out there? There are five new. little ducks that live in the cages with the pigeons and the only thing they have to swim in is a long flat pan, and guess what they do? First they put their dirty little feet right in it and they they drink out of it. And have you ever noticed the two holes in the big duck's bill? They are close to the top, and in the little ducks' bills these holes are just tiny little brown specks. In this same row of cages there was a little mouse the other day that kept trying to get a certain piece of grain in the middle of the parrot's cage, but every time he would run out towards it the old parrot would squack at him and scare the poor mouse so badly that he would run back and hide under a board again. And then the monkeys are always doing such funny things, but the other day one of them got a match somehow and accidentally scratched it so that it caught fire and lighted a piece of paper. And you should have seen that poor monkey. He didn't know what had happened.

lems and of how he needed to hear of them all from his father, and of How he wasn't brave enough at least, he didn't dare. A few days later I went to a distant community, far away from the college tmosphere, to lecture, and when I was about to leave the father came and said, "I need to speak to my son about the best I know, and the best I hope, and the largest problems I wonder about and puzzle over. Yet I did not. I am not brave enough. The father felt that he would give his fortune, all ho had, to be able to speak to hi son, as he needed to do. Then I asked again the name to be sure the relationship between those two confidences was not fancied. Behold, it was the father of the son. If you were the father I might quote other words, but you who read this pare are the son. If only the son had known the above injunctions to do them, how happy a freshman he might have been. "Ask thy father and he will show thee, thine elders and they will tell thee." What a suffering might have been avoided. What a joy might have been experienced! But you are to preach yor own sermon. I was only to hunt the text. "Mother Chum," said a Richmond lad. "Son Chum," the mother responded. Volumes of satisfaction these terms expressed. The son had asked, the mother had told. Communion was opened. THOU SHALT ASK when thou sittest down and when thou risest up and when thou geost forth, and thy father will surely talk to thee. By Mary Doan Hole, South Eighth Street Friends church.

Q UERY GORNE R The editor will try to answer questions readers of the Junior submit to him. He will not promise to answer all .of them. The questions will be answered in rotation, so do not expect the answer to be printed in the same week in which you send it in. L. B. What makes the wind blow? Why, air, mostly. It is different currents of hot and cold air that causes the movement or as we say, wind. A. L. -The secret of most people getting rich is that they find the thing they can do best., and then stick to it until they make good. L. M. Some scientists say that the. reason people get seasick is this: We have a little tube with some kind of liquid in it right back of our ears, that gives us our sense of balance, acting almost like a level. And when the rocking mot ion of a boat upsets this liquid, why, they are sea sick. J. B. An echo is caused by the sound waves striking against something and coming back to you. II. M.
