American Boy, Born in Germany, Spends Winter in Richmond Hobby Ackerman Is only three years old, but already he has been abroad ' twice seeing many of the warring countries, and now has come back to spend the winter with his grandparents on South Eighth street, while his father and mother go to Siberia .for six months. Bobby's father, Carl Ackerman, is a newspaper man who is sent into many different countries to get the latest reports and cable them back to America so that by the next morning the dispatches can be sent out over the whole country. Bobby was born in Germany in August, 1915, while America was still' neutral. At that time his father was learning more and more of the secrets of the German war office and the Germans disliked the young American correspondent more and more because he was finding out too much about them. But when they asked the United Press to call him back to America, Bobby's father told them he would publish 'every thing he knew about the Germans, and so he was allowed to stay until war was declared in April, 1917. After they had been back in America for a while Bobby's father finished his book called, "Germany, the Next Republic" and then he went down to Mexico for the Saturday Evening Post. Bobby staid in America that time, but when his father and mother went to Switzerland, Bobby was taken onto a big ocean liner for the second time and went across to Europe again where he staid for six months. When they returned this time, however, and his parents started to sail across the Pacific ocean, it was better to leave Bobby safely ia America, and so he is spending the winter here in Richmond.

Camp Fire Girls Are Friend of Indian Chief Camp Fire Girls are special friends of Chief Caupolican, the famous Indian chief from South America,, who was in this city a short time ago. Several camps In eastern cities have been named after him, and he acts as their patron, visiting, their meetings whenever in those cities, he said. When he was in Terre Haute, the Camp Fire Girls called a special meeting to greet him, although their camp was-not one under his patronage, and Chief Caupolican became such friends with the girls that they were given a short time on the program, appearing in costume, presenting a ceremonial meeting as introduction to the chief's lecture. Chief Caupolican was half French and so it was that his mother took him back to France when he was only four years old, and he grew up in a French school. Since then he has traveled over most of the world. The. costume which , he wore at the Chautauqua was not the costume of his native tribe, but one which had been presented to him by North American Indians, and he did not know what all the symbols in the bead work meant The head band which he wore, however, was one like those in his own tribe of South America, and he wore it continually, he said. Chief Caupolican's wile is a teacher of domestic art in Smith College, and the chief laughed as he said-they use about half of their salaries In postage stamps. CLOTHING CAMPAIGN.

THE EARLY lR?i, "Did you fare well at Cnr7sl'MT Willie?" asked the Sunday school teacher. "Yes'm. I got more than any of my brothers and sisters," replied Wlllio jubilantly. "Indeed! How did that happen?" "I got up two hour9 before they did."

Sevastopol School Studies War's Progress Sevastopol school was one of the first schools in the city to take up the study of the World War. Every morning last year In the sixth grade current events relative to the war were discussed. Also a war map was kept and the line of defense was changed by the pupils when ever a change was needed.

PRESIDENT Trade was bad. At the end of another blank day, the discouraged salesman called on another prospective customer and asked to show his samples. "No, there is nothing I want today," said the customer. "But will you just examine my line of goods?" the salesman persisted. The customer would not. "Then," said the salesman meekly, "will you let me use a part of your counter to look at them myself, as I have not had the opportunity for some time?" COPPER-TOED TEETH. The admiration entertained by a Trenton boy for his nncle includes all the latter's attributes and even possessions, which the nncle himself Is not wont to deem desirable"Uncle," said the lad one day after he had been studying his uncle in laughing conversation with his father, "I don't care for plain teeth like mine. I w!h I liasl Sjroe copper-toed teeth like yours. THE REASON. "Little pictures leave me cold; it's the grand big canvases that I like." "You're an art critic?" "Not 1; a frame maker."

The Landis Children Fear Pet Dog May Eat Santa. Class i Frederick Landis. Jr.. is only six years old, but already he is on the way to becoming a great orator, for he- accompanies his father on almost all his lecture tours. When be was in Richmond last Sunday afternoon . he sat on the platform while his father gave the inspiring patriotic address at the Chautauqua. Frederick's legs did not reach the floor and when, he grew tired having them dangle, ho sat crosslegged, but he staid with his father all during the lecture and accompanied him everywhere. Frederick and his older brother, Kenisaw never have been fishing, so their father has promised them that he will take them up to one of the lakes this week, even if 'they have to miss a few days of school. When Frederick was out to Mrs. W. D. Foulke's on Sunday after noonv he was very interested in the gold fish which were in the little pool beneath the fountain, and. he could; not understand when. Mrs. Foulke did not catch the fish and fry them. "It is because they are too expensive," explained Mr. Foulke. "Expensive," repeated Frederick, Jr., "what does that mean?" : Frederick's little sister Elizabeth is especially patriotic, and the; other day her father noticed that their Airdale watchdog was restlessly moving; from place to place so he investigated the cause and found that 'little Elizabeth -was trying to pin a Red Cross button on- hjm. Their dog is new, and at first the children; were perfectly delighted with their, new pet, but suddenly the face of one of the boys clouded over as., he said, "But Father, if those watch dogs won't let anybody but the family in tho house, he might eat Santa Claus."

Lone- Scout Tells- Hour- . Airplane Wings Are Made As 1 1 was at- Lieutenant , Farre's exhibition' of aeroplane- paintings I also saw motion pictures showing the building of aeroplanes; I will tell you how the wings are made. First- two. spruce, boards are- held tight by two clamps. Then the ribs are slipped on. The fabric, is then put on and men and women tack the fabric to the frame. The men paint it with some sort- of : paint that keeps ; the . wings in good; condition. Then when that is dry, the insignia is painted on. When the wings are going to be put on, the aeroplane body is brought forward. Then a board is placed on the side of the- aeroplanet This is for-the lower wing; It is placed on, and the wires that snppore the planes are placed in position.- The-aeroplane is then ready for the test that will prove that it1 is-made right.1 Irving Fant in Lone Scout. THE RED CROSS FAIRY. The Red Cross fairy lived In one corner of a base hospital in France. She lived there unseen. Everytime they, would bring in a wounded ' soldier from the battle fields she would com?srf him. One day a soIdTe was brought in, the. fairy, went up. tcrjiim and asked if she could do anyiMng to comfort him.He said, "Yes, teir me some fairy stories. I just love them." So the Red Cross fairy told him many tales of her life. Every day at a certain hour she would go to him. In return he told her of Tils experiences in the training camps, and how the train girls would give the soldiers boxes of candy and fruit. The soldier soon grew well enough to be sent home to his mother. When he was entirely well he went back to the army' to fight for onr freedom and our country. Grace Simcoke, Garfield. NOT THAT BAD. , "I say," said a passenger on' a troiley-car, "don't yon ever go faster than this?" . "If yer don't like it, yer can git off and 'walk," snapped the conductor. ; "Oh, my, no," said the passenger. "I'm not in such a hurry as that"
