Starr School. . Dear Rosemary; " Halloween, i (Hallows eve), Is the evening before All Hallows or All Saint's Day which Is kept in memory of all the .Catholic leaders who were noble enough, to be classed as saints.. But or course, from the way most people keep Halloween, one would scarsoly guess it was taken from a religious Holy Day. This, may be explained by the fact that .when the faithful folks were sitting up through the night, keeping themidnight vigil, they would tell over the bid tales these good folks could almost Imagine they saw the ghosts ;of he saints themselves, or heard the the witches sailing over their roofs on their broomstick's. Then the next step probably was that some of the fun-loving young people; would dress like witches or ghosts to scare these good folks, And they enjoyed It so much, that now almost everybody dresses up to have a good time on Halloween. Ed, . Dear. Aunt Molly: Why do we . have Halloween? Roberta Babcock. Dear Roberta: Probably so that boys and girls will be given a chance to have all the fun they want, once a year. Ed. . Dear Aunt Molly: Why do people dress up on Hallowe'en? Ruth, Weed, Starr School. Dear Ruth: Because all the rest of the year they are so dressed down, refined and polished, that on Hallowe'en they want to 'bust-out" and dress up as wild and crazylooking as they, feel. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: . Why do they make Hallowe'en "Spooky." Emily Roberts.. - . f,5-.-. :i ;; ' v. - Dear Emily: Because now days, when there are such bright lights at Right that ghosts and witches don't have halt a chance to scare folks, It is only fair to give them one night a year, don't you think? Ed. "Dear Aunt Molly: Why do they use pumpkins on Hallowe'en? Betty Price. ' Dear Betty: Because pumpkins are symbolic of the pumpkin-headed things people do. Ed. i- Say Aunt Molly, do they call Jack-o'Ianterns Jack because most people named 'Jack look so funny. Jimmie G. '.' ' " ,; - Dear Jimmie: "That might have boon the reason years ago when they first had Jack-o'Ianterns, but it they had been naming them now it is just possible we might have called them something that begins with J and ends with'' m, and has one small letter in between.

The Pioneer Boy's First Deer When John Smith and his fol lowers came over to America, we all know many people suffered from starvation. During the first winter, a man and woman died, leaving two little boys, whoso names were Nathan and Daniel Curtis. After their parents died, the boys took plenty of shells and powder for their rifles, and start ed out alone ia the world. Daniel was younger than Nathan so of course Nathan always led their way. , The first evening, as they were going through a thicket, Daniel saw a young deer. The boys followed it till they were close enough to shoot at It. Nathan let Daniel shoot it. When Daniel shot, the deer fell and both boys ran. toward It. Nathan had helped to- skin several deer. After it was skinned they cut it up. Daniel wanted to have the horns to remember the first doer he had killed. Nathan cut them off and Daniel put them In the bag ho carried on his back. After the horns were put in the bag they started on looking for a place to sleep. t It was very near dark before they found a suitable place. Daniel began to pick up sticks and brush to make a fire. As soon as the fire was made they took out of their knapsack a skillet in which they cooked some deer steak for thoir supper. After they had eaten their supper they sat around the fire and talk ed about the deer that Daniel had killed, In which of courso he was very much Interested. After the firo burnt low, they put a blanket near the fire to sleep on. They Bad not been there long until both boys were asleep. Early in the morning they got up and sorted on through the ticket. Many experiences did these boys have in the wilderness afterwards, but they met them bravoly as the pioneer boys of Virginia always did. Zelma Bozworth, No. 6, Boston Township, grade 7.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM, OCT.
CHILDREN LIKE DIFFERENT PICTURES We are having a vory fine art exhibit at the High school. Thero are many fine pictures, painted by artists from all over the world, Thero was one picture that I liked best of all. It was a picture of buildings at the world's fair In San Francisco. The reflection of the buildings looked so pretty in the water. The painter of this picture Is Mr. Cooper. Evelyn Hill. My favorite picture was a snow scene painted by Mr. Bundy. There were snow banks on each side of a little brook, and it was painted at sunset. There were tall trees on the snow banks, The sky was rather a dark blue with stars peeping out. Maxino McCano. The picture I liked best at the art exhibit was "At the Wharf," where there were some old wooden boats. The artist that, painted this picture was George Elmer Browne Eugene Schnabel. My favorite picture is one of the Pacific Ocean. There were some rocks and a little stream running between them to the ocn. The reason I liked this picture is bocause of the beautiful coloring in the ocean. Elizabeth Dilks. 4 A grade, Vaile School. FUN AT THE LAKES " When I went up to the lakes this summer we had a fine time. I went in bathing and so did my sister. We found many shells In the sand. I went on the little train which rah through the park, and we could see all kinds of funny people. There was a show called "A Trip to China Town." So we went in there. The next day we went bathing again and had a good time. . Mother bought my sister a big doll. Mary Eyden, BB Grade, Starr School. The Teasing Brother Once there was a little boy nomed Jack. This little, boy was a very bad boy. He would untie his mother's apron strings and would tease his sister. So one day, his sister got tired of this and did something to .make him .quit it. What do you think she did? When over be tried to tease her she would go on just as if he had never been around. And this. is how she made him quit it. If .any of you girls have brothers that tease you just try what thin little girl did. By Raymond Conolly, 6B grade Starr School. CHILDREN ENJOYED PRIVATE PEAT Last Monday night my father, my mother, my grandma, my sister and myself "went to hear Private Peat, He told us all about the war. He also told us about his wound.

SNOWMEN HERE LAST TUESDAY If the witches and ghosts who were getting ready for their great yearly celebration had happened to be awake last Tuesday morning they would have had a good scare themselves, because on almost every street in Richmond Btranga white men suddenly appeared In front yards. These queer looking men would stand looking straight ahead with a fixed stare in their hollow eyes, and then slowly they would melt away into the air, and no one could tell where they went. Of course none of the boys and girls were scared because they knew that these strange looking white men were made out of snow, but how could the poor witches and ghosts know? Probably this was the first year in the whole history of Wayne county that there had been a snowman .here before Hallowe'en, so if those spooky Hallowe'en people were for once badly frightened, it served them right for the way they always have frightened the boys and girls.
CATCHING CRABS IS FUN Saturday night, August the 11th we started for Wilmington, Delaware. We rode on the train all night and part of the next day, until we came to West Philadelphia, and there we changed cars for Wilmington where we arrived at 6 o'clock. The next day we went to the park and went in a place called the crazy house. When we went out of there we went in a tunnel in a boat. There was water In the tunnel so the boat could go. The next day we started for Salem, New Jersey, and from there we went to Guinton. When we got there we went for crabs. The way you fish for crabs, is that you take a big string and put a piece of lead on it and tie a piece of meat on it. We went to many other interesting places besides these. Loren May, Warner school. AN EXCITING SHOW This summer I took a trip to the Connersville fair and my cousin took me in to see a side show. They had Happy Eddie and that was the one we went in to see the most. But I went on in while my cousin got the tickets. I saw the wild girl. She took a snake and looked up at me.
