Now that the first real whiff of Christmas is In the air. and all the shops and stores are putting out their most attractive wears for us to choose our presents from, have you begun to think at all about something to give your mother? Mothers don't especially care for things that cost lots of money, they appreciate Just as much the things you make your selves. ; Tou can make the prettiest little calendars out of dull brown paper with a cheery picture out of some magazine to give it color, or you can make beautiful little books full of Christmas verses or stories that you copy out of your school books. You can make little needle books out of attractive scraps of silk or ribbons that your mother has forgotten all about; and thimble bags, too. Boys can make little match scratchers, or match holders, or fix up blotters to be attractive presents and useful as well. It is three weeks until Christmas, and yet those weeks will go so fast that the first thing you know, you'll be hearing Santa Claus's sleighbells jingling. So it isn't too soon to start thinking about getting presents ready, and be sure to fix up a - surprise for mother first of all. Aunt Molly. CHUM CLUB QUERY FOR THIS WEEK 1. Who is the king of Greece? 2. What noted European ruler UERY CORNER The editor will try to answer questions readers of the Junior submit to her. She will not promise' to answer all of them. The questions will be answered In rotation, so dq not expect the answer to be printed in the same week in which you send it in. What will maake a slow horse fast? Ray Wilson. It depends on the horse. Ambition, competition, more hay, an anxious driver, fire bells, or a cannon ' cracker might, but if all those fail, try putting him on rol ler skates. A good, strong hitching rein might serve the purpose. Ed. Dear Editor, why do turkeys gobble? H. O. Probably because they feel as good when they are alive as they taste when cooked, and so just as we gobble roast turkey they as live turkeys spend their whole days gobbling themselves. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: Do you really believe there is a Santa Claus? Jean R. : My dear Jean: I surely do. 1 got a letter right straight from him the other day, and more than that I've seen him. One Christmas my brother said he didn't believe in him, so Santa Clause came straight in the room and said he didnt ever want to hear such talk again, and then he gave my brother a gold watch. It pays to believe in him and write your Santa Claus letters; see if it doesn't! Ed. Dear Aunt Molly, Why do you take such an Interest In the Junior Palladium? Grace Simcoke. Dear Grace, Because all my makebelieve nieces and nephews make it so Interesting. Aunt M.

PHR ANTIC TRICKS; TRY THEM ALL Here are some tricks that anyone can do. All you need is a glass of water, some light cardboard, toothpicks, matches and string. The first one is to take the glass of water and put the cardboard on the top, then turn the glass over: the water will not spill. Second: Take two matches and hold them between the thumb and finger of each hand. Then try to hook the circles together like a link chain without dropping the matches. Just stick the end of sne match under the thumb nail and then you can do it Third: Take three toothpicks, bend them until they snap. Then bend them to acute angles, place them together to form a star with the break in the center and then place a drop of water in the center. Fourth: Take a string, tie the ends together, twist the string twice, put the ends together, pull out, and you have the ends looped over one another. Sherlock Holmes, Economy, Ind. BOYS VISIT MUSEUM Our boys of my grade went to the Earlham college to the museum. We had a fine time. The teacher went with us. We enjoyed it very much. 1 will tell you the things we saw. We saw the ' Jewish tabernacle. We first saw the altar where they burnt sacrifices such as doves, Iambs, and other animals. Inside was two angles. They were very beautiful. I saw a bear trap. It was like a steel trap. The trap was made of lro n. It was very strong. It makes me think about the pioneers how they used to catch the bear. The snakes were very large. The one I saw was called the Python, n was siuea Apm 3, it was as large as your hand. I saw many other interesting things. Joy J. Bailey, Warner school. MARY'S DREAM One day in November, Mary was walking down the back walk. She spied a turkey in the chicken yard. Mary went to the turkey and said, "Mr. Turkey, why do. you look so sad?" "My wife is going to become a widow pretty soon, and my children will be orphans," said the turkey. "Never mind," said Mary. She took a big sack and started to take the little turkeys and put them into a sack." Before she got two in the sack, the father and mother turkeys flew at her and cried, "Stop, stop, you're a kidnapper!" Mary ran and ran until she was safe in her mother's arms. Then she woke up and told her mother all about her dream. Mildred Underbill, Starr school.

Tota, sacred calf, and Barbara Senn, granddaughter of

Senn, who is ministering to her AN IMAGINARY TRIP First I took a train down at the Pennsylvania station. When noon came I had my dinner in the dining car. When night came I slept in a berth. The train rocking back and forth put me to sleep. The next thing I heard was a colored porter hollowing New York. I got dressed quickly. I went to the city directory and hunted up a hotel. It was a very up-to-date hotel. By the time I got done unpacking it was lunch time. I put on a blue silk suit which I intended to wear in the afternoon. About one o'clock I started on my sight seeing trip. I called a taxi cab. First he took me to 6ee all the large buuildings. When I got back to the hotel it was about five o'clock. I hurried up stairs to my apartments. I put on a 'white satin dress with a silver lace overdress, my white satin slippers , and silk stockings. I slept sound that night, and the next day I came home. Remember this is an imaginary story and not one word is true. Grace Simcoke, Finley school. THE SURPRISE DINNER Once upon a time there was a little boy and girl named Bobby and Betty. Their father and mother worked out for a living. One day Betty said, "Bobby, we will not have and Thanksgiving. I know we will not have any because we will not have any money. Let us go up town and look in the windows So Betty put on her coat and hat and Bobby put on his coat and hat and they went down the flight of stairs. Soon they were up town. They walked and walked. Soon they found themselves in the coun try. They came to a farm house. A lady came out and said, "Where did you come from?" "We live in the city," said Betty. "Come with me," 6aid the lady. She went in the house, and the children followed her in the house and there were their mother and father in the sitting room, and they had the best Thanksgiving ever was.

in her last hours. Tota, Thirteenth Daughter of Zebu, Has Been 111 Since Birth Two Months Ago. Tota, the sacred calf, Is dying at Lincoln Park. She Is the thir teenth calf of the mother, a big eebu, whose children are scattered in zoos all over the country- Tota is only two months old, and has been ill since her birth. Cy De Vry, the famous keeper of the Lincoln Zoo, has almost despaired of Tota. The loss of any of his pets is like the loss of a child to him, so every care is being given her. Some Chicagoans who have seen Tota believe her troubles are due to her being the thirteenth calf, but the Hindoos who have seen her say that Buddha has so willed it, and reverence her all the more, Dorothy and Barbara Senn, twin daughters of Dr. and Mrs. William Nicholas Senn, 1242 Astor street, have "adopted" Tota, and go to see her daily. They are the granddaughters of Dr. Nicholas Senn, the late noted Chicago surgeon, and believe they may be able to help the little sacred calf to grow up. AN EASY WAY OUT Once upon a time my friend and I were playing checkers. I had her cornered and she could not move unless I could jump her, so she just said she moved. Ruth Bond,' age 12, Warner school. Letter from Sevastopol Dear Aunt Molly: The school board has bought two lots for us to play oh. So that we may have plenty of room. 1 can hardly wait until it is ready for us to use. It would be nice for us to help clean up the lots instead of playing all the time. My, bnt it was fun watching them move the house off the lot. At recess we would go over and watch them. The house was moved on Boyer street. DorotLy uaime, 5 A
