Hello, Folks: Well, Chautauqua's here! Chautauqua, with all the tents and people and picnics and ice cream cones and Patsy's cracker-jack and taffy and band concerts and jubilee singers, and everything. Have you gone out there very much? Do you get the spirit of it all? You should, for our Chautauqua is one of the best things we have here at Richmond. In the first place just being out there . in the Glen is enough to make you feel better for a week, breathing that good fresh air and drinking that healthy spring water. And then having something new and interesting to do makes you feel as though you had been clear away on a regular vacation. But the best of it all is that everything I ' , 11 e , e - 11 a. is ptTiecuy baie iur juu u inai your -mother doesn't have to keep a rope tied around your waist for fear something will happen; as long as you are in the grounds you are all right. , But trirls and boys, there is just one thing that is always sort of bothersome to remember, and that is about the older folks wanting to hear lectures. But since they flo, and since we couldn't have any Chautauqua unless they let us, the easiest way to keep them glad to UERY CORNER Boys and girls often ask their parents questions about things which they do not understand. Sometimes it is about a strange word, or about a foreign city, or a strange custom. Children and parents are asked to send these questions to the Query Corner. We will try to answer them. Here are a few that parents told us about: . Junior Editor, Dear Aunt Why does everybody alters say blue Monday? Is it cuz the fellers most allers get mad at their girls the night befor? Tom S. Dear Tom That saying first came first came from a custom in Bavaria of decorating the churches in blue the Monday before Lent. But to many people it probably does mean what you suggest. Ed. Editor Junior Palladium: Will you please explain what "preferred stock" means. I hear my father talking about it a lot and I want to know. Edward L. As I understand it, when they divide out the money a company has made at the end of the' year, the people who have preferred stock get theirs first, and then the common stock holders get theirs afterwards. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: What is a three begger? I asked my father if it was a man who begged three meals every day, and he laughed ! at me, Betty R. Dear little Betty: That term,1 which should be spelled "threebagger," is confusing I know. It means a ball that was hit so far in base ball game that the man could run' clear around to the third base before the other team got it. Jr. Pal. Where do they get lions? L. B. Lions are captured in " Africa, mostly, but also in parts of Southern Asia. Ed. To the one who answers ques- , tions: Dear Sir, will you please tell me what a philosopher, is? Frederick T. : . 1 ,; . ' Dear Frederick:' A philosopher Is a person who loves to try to

have us out there, is to stay clear i . ...

away from the big tent when we want to have fun. There is plenty of room over by our children's tent to have as big a romp as we ever want, or play any games or do most anything, isn't there? So with Miss Shera to plan nice things in the mornings, and plenty of room for afternoon play, lets try to keep out of trouble by never doing a single thing to bother the grown people, and when we go into the big tent to hear the concerts, let's be so still and quiet that everybody will say: "My, the children are acting nice this year. I think they ought to have more in the Chautauqua than ever, when they enjoy it so much, and act so mannerly." Why, Junior Folks, don't you see that it always is to your advantage to remember about the big people, and do things to please them, because they are the ones who plan out the things you get and the better you make them like you, the more they will get for you. So, for the rest of the Chautauqua let's be regular Junior Angels what do you say? (That is, when we are around the big tent.) and then next year we will have a Junior Angel time. Sec if we don't. AUNT MOLLY. think out why this word is like it is, and what makes it keep on going. Ed. Dear Editor: Where did they get the name "Earlham" and why did they name the college that? William C. "Earlham" means "home of the Earl" and it was the name of a beautiful old homestead over in England which belonged to some of the Quakers who gave the most money to founding the college. Ed. Lady Editer, dear Miss, are you one of these here women sufergistes that stands on the corner and beets a drum? S. Johnson. My dear S. Johnson: No, I cannot say that I am a "sufergist," because so far my father and brother have always done a pretty good job of voting for me, but I guess I could do it all right myself if I had the chance. Aunt Molly. FOR THE CHILDREN It is very nice to think The world is made of meat and drink. With little children saying grace In every Christian kind of place. Stevenson.

INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT THEM SUPPLIED It THE BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

CHICKADEE (Penethrestes atricapillus) Little black-capped Chickadees that live with us all year long, how many of you know them or have them in your yards? Of course they are most common out in the country where there are orchards and woods, but we do have them in town, and should have more if we would encourage them by hanging suet on the trees and putting out suitable birdhouses for ' them to nest in. And had you ever heard that these little fellows grow crazy once a year? Ernest Thompson-Set on tells us the story of how it all happened, when a long time ago, before there were cold winters up north, the birds lived there all that year round, until one day Mother Carey sent word to them all that winter and snow were coming and that they must leave for the Southland. So all the birds bustled around and got ready to leave, but the happy little Chickadees were having such a good time they could not realize what would happen, until all at once they found themselves left behind with frost and ice and snow swooping down -on them, j And then they lost their wits. Flying this way and that, they popped their little black heads into every squirrel hole and wood chink they could find, asking everybody which way lead to the Gulf of Mexico, until finally they just had to make up their minds to stay and brave the winter until spring came back. So now they stay every year, but the first few winter days when the snows begin to come the poor little Tomtits go through their silly excited antics, flying into cellars and barns, down chimneys and in all sorts of places, probably still hunting the Gulf of Mexico.
