The Chum Club Corner

Dear Juniors: Had yon heard about the general tests they have been giving all the school children In several of the big cities? It Is as Interesting as it can be to see how much, or rather how little, most all , the boys and girls know about the things happening around them all the time. And Junior ; Folks, I wonder how much you know about current happenings, and general facts. ': Do you know who Is the governor of Indiana? Do you know the vice-president of the United States? Do you know the name of the king of England, and the Kaiser of Germany? Do you know what nations are in war? I thought maybe you didn't. 4 , ' - ' " ' Well; Chum Folks, IH : tell you what well do. We'll start another Query Corner, and I'll ask you questions t that maybe I won't know. Just as you ask me questions; and then we will see how many you can answer. Because those are questions - you -. ought to know, . aren't they, and if you 'don't it won't take you very long to find out. So get UERY CO R N ER The editor will try to 'answer questions readers of the Junior : submit to her.- 8he 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 I the tame week in whleh you tend It in. ',. '. Dear Aunt Molly, what Is an electrical . vote and why: do they have them? Edwin R. v. ?( You must mean electoral votes. .Why, Edwin, Just as we have thirteen representatives and two senators to make our national laws for us, we have fifteen electors In the electoral college to represent Indiana in choosing our national President So If your father wanted WUson he voted for the Democratic electors, and if he wanted Hughes "ie voted for the Republican electors, but the name of Wilson or Hughes was not-on his ballot Ed Dear Editor: Why don't we hear my thing more about Villa now? 13.

Say Aunt Mollis why do people talk so much about womln sufferag all the time they dont suffer any more now than they used to, do they? Jimmle O. My dear Jimmle: Some women are suffering ever so much because they want to do something they can't do. But suffrage means the right to vote, not something that

PALLADIUM

In the habit of knowing facts, and then you always can understand what. people are talking about When the boys were having their election last week, the question of girls - voting was brought before almost every one of you. Woman suffrage means different things to different people, but the thing it means most of all to us Is the type of girls and women who would be really worthy of voting. To vote Is only to choose, .. but before you choose you should know whom .you are choosing and why. So girls who vote should be girls who understand what Is happening and make up their minds about it; girls who can ' listen to other people's Ideas and Bee both sides of the question;; who can express themselves well and to the point, and yet be gentle and girlish. ' Voting doesn't mean being a tom-boy, and talking politics does not mean arguing at the top of your voice. Girls have to live under the laws of Boytown and the United States the same as the boys themselves, and they should know 'the laws and have a part in choosing the lawmakers.1 But first of all you girls should prove yourselves the highest type of citizens. Be able to do what mother girls ever have done before, take your part in pub lic affairs along with the boys nat urally and well, be worthy of re spect, of taking responsibilities and showing good judgement and through it all be girls your fathers and brothers will be proud to own. It was a sunny afternoon not long ago that Alice came running into the house an threw herself Into her mother's lap sobbing as if her heart would break. .. "Why, Alice dear, what Is the matter," asked her mother,. "Oh, mother," came the muffled voice, "Mildred said she just hated me." .. - Her mother gently stroked the short bobbed hair lor several, moments with slow even strokes, then taking her little girl, np Into her lap, they talked It all over. Alice and Mildred were chums and had never quarreled before. Alice usually took the leadership while Mildred followed her friend's suggestions, but today Mildred had persisted In having her way and It ended in "I hate you." After the whole story had come out Alice turned to her mother and said,' "Mother, what would you do If somebody would say they hated you?" . .. ' Alice's mother laughed for a minute, and then became sober again. "Well, dear," she answered, "I believe I'd simply say, T dont hateful lots of times.' ' Because, hateful lots of times. Be cause. Alice, we all have some rather self ish traits, dont we? And It must have been unpleasant for Mildred when you wouldnt play her way, wasn't It? And so now suppose you go over and tell Mildred you dont like yourself, either." Some birds travel remarkable distances.

The boys that knew him called him "Bob." One day he was walking In the woods and met a little girl who was dressed very richly. He did not know her but she knew him. She bad found out how poor little Robert was, and she thought she -would make him rich as she was. For she was the king's daughter. She knew of a tree that if you would say, "Open thy door," it would open. She took him to this tree and told him to say these words. He said them and the tree opened a long crack. She said to him, "Walk right in and you will find three bags of gold. Take them and 'walk out and say, 'Shut thy door, and it will shut." So he did as she told him to do. She walked on slowly, and he came with her. He went home and said to his grandmother, "We are now rich." "Why are we rich?" Bhe asked. "Because we are," said Robert. So the next day when Robert got up he was very happy. His grandma asked him why he was happy. So Robert told her what he had seen and done.' So his grandmother got to be happy too. In the afternoon they went up town and bought them some clothing and food. Years after, the princess married the' little boy and they lived in the palace with the king, queen and the grandmother, too. There they lived happily all their lives. ESTHER LIENEMANN, 6 B grade. MISCHIEVOUS CATS EAT MOTHER'S JAM Once upon a time there were some kittens. . They were always. into everything. . So one day their mother said, "Now children I want you to be good while I am away." So when she was gone, they went into the pantry and got the jam their mother was going to have for supper. They took it out and put it on each other. When their mother came home Bhe said, "What have you children been Into 7 They said, "We have been into your Jam, mother." "Well, children, I must put you in the attic and you will stay there." So she put them in there and she said to them. "Now children, will you be good?" They said "Yes." So after that they were never bad. ROBERTA SHEFFER Starr School LOUIS CARROLL VISITS SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF I went to see my brother at the hnni nf tha deaf. We arrived there just as the children were marching from their dinner to me uornmory. Each boy has a bed of his own. There are forty little beds in each room. In the basement are the work rooms. There is a shoe shop, a barber shop and a carpenter shop. The school rooms are over In another building. The girls have a dormitory too. They learn to sew and to do all kinds of hand work.

LOUIS CARROLL Baxter School OUT IN THE WOODS Last year on a bright summer day my friends and I went out In the woods and took our dinners and suppers with us. We had a delightful time. After our dinner we walked around In the woods and saw many trees, such as the elm, beech, acorn, walnut, chestnut maple and many other trees. The boughs of the trees were loada with Tin tit and we saw many frisky squirrels running around the trees. After supper we walked home on the rough ana austy roaa. DOROTHY WAIDELE St Andrew's School

"Yea'm," responded - George, "cause then she's got to be polite, too, and take the littlest one." GRACE SIMCOKE, Contributor, Finley School A VISIT IN THE COUNTRY One Sunday we went out to my grandfather's three miles in the country. There were about thirty guests present. In the afternoon we went out in the apple orchard and got some apples and then in the woods to gather some walnuts. We had many good things to eat and had a very nice time. Everybody enjoyed their visit and all went home happy. I enjoyed it very much. I will go again. HAROLD NIEWOEHNER 4th grade St. John's School. RIDDLES S t 1.

"The money for which I shall seU this milk," said Dolly to herself, "will buy me twenty eggs. May is my sister. She will give me a hen. If only half of the chickens grow up, I shall have ten to sell at Christmas."
