Dear Aunt Polly: Guess what
school I go to W. S. L. V. R.
Dear L. V. B,: I'll tell you Just this much. It is located on a piece
of ground shaped like a triangle
If you started from the northwest corner of Seventh and Main streets and if you had a compass in your
hand and followed in the direction the needle points, for three squares and then walked one-half square
farther in the same direction you would find yourself right in front of the school you go to, and then all you would hare to do would be to turn to your left, go up a few steps, walk a short distance, go up some more steps and by that time j you would be inside your school. The name of it is spelled just like the word "warmer" with one let
ter changed and the first letter
dressed up in its capital clothes. The principal of it is named Miss Thompson. I've guessed it now, haven't I? Aunt Polly. Say, Aunt Polly: What's your real name? C. T. C. Say C. T. C: That's a nice question to ask a poor old aunt whose . name is usually in about half a dozen places in and around the Junior. Better put on your specs that's what I do when I want to 'see something real well. I have another name though that I use
sometimes.
It is Eao Izaet Grod with the
second, third, fifth and seventh let
lers missing from the first name;
the first, third. Bixth and ninth let
ters missing from the second name
and the second, third and sixth letters missing from my last name.
The letters left out are in their
right order: lenrEibhifr. But my
usual name is Just Aunt Polly.

THE ROLL-OVER. By E. D. An gell Inventor of Cage Ball "So you would like to do some somersets in the air and rows of flip flaps," said Beppo, the clown, to the two boys who had come to the barn where the funny man and famous acrobat was doing his winter practice so that he would be limber and skillful when the summer's circus season opened. . Simple Tricks First "You mustn't try to learn the hard tricks first," continued Beppo, "but must learn the simple tricks. Upon these slmplo ones, all the hard tricks are based. Now the first trick an acrobat must learn is the Roll-over you kids doubtless call it the somer-set If you learn a Roll perfectly, you will have a position in tumbling that must be learned for almost all tumbling tricks are based upon the Roll-over. The Roll-Over "Now this is the way you do it," said Beppo, "take a quick step forward bend forward and place hands on the ground touch the
too of your head then Bhoulders-
curl up as you're turning grab your shins tightly pullings legs up against chest. You see if you do it
this way. you can't help coming to
a standing position at the finish.
Now try it."

CHAPEL EXERCISES.
The chapel at Joseph Moore on
Feb. 12 was about Lincoln. First we sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic The first grade had a very nice play about Lincoln learning his lessons. Bernlce Rickels was Abraham Lincoln's mother, and Carl Sleet was Abraham Lincoln, The, fourth grade had very nice exercises. Some children spoke Captain, My Captain. In the fourth grade John Evans spoke Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. Then we sang America and went to our rooms. Mary Louise Bills, 5A jrade, Joseph Moore school. A VALENTINE PARTY Jane wanted to have a valentine party. So she asked her mother. Iler mother said that daddy had to nay for the food, and to ask him. And she had her party on Feb. 14. She invited her friends and they all were present. Her mother had hldtteh 50 candy babies. Whoever toud the most was to get a box with a paper heart on the front And in it were big candy hearts.

this snow artist, recently built the above group upon the lawn of a Cin
cinnati suburban residence and attracted the attention of thousands of
pedestrians. Making things out of snow isn't Mr. Moore's regular line
of work. He does that when he isn't making fancy French pastry, which accounts for hiy ability to make things out of snow.
Study Problems
Solved
The Diving Roll
Ralnh and Allen found that the
Roll-over was easy, and after sev
eral that met with Beppo's approv
al, he taught them to run up fast to the mat and after the first Roll
over was completed to do a sec
ond, and with a little practice five or six Rolls in succession without much difficulty. He then had one
of the boys get crosswise or tne mat on hands and knees, and with a little run re dove over the low
obstruction thus formed doing a
Roll that brought him snapplly to h top. Ralnh and Allen tried
this many times, but found it much more difficult. Beppo told them that by constant practice they could dive higher and higher obstacles, and he also told them that there were famous acrobats who could do this diving Roll over a

OHIO SCOUTS ACTIVE.
For a "good turn" the Boy Scouts of Columbus, Ohio, tore
down all old signs last week
Bills and signs were on boards and posts long after the event billed
had become a thing of the past, and
many signs of stores and other
businesses were seen over empty
store rooms. This work has been
carried on very successfully by the Boy Scouts of many other cities
of the United States.
EXCEPT FOR ONE THING First Scout (who has cooked some hunter's stew.) This stew is good, Isn't it? Second Scout: Yes, but there is one thing I don't like about it First Scout: What is that? Second Scout: The taste.

Black within and red without; four corners round about. (A chimney.) I went to the woods and got It. I sat down and looked at It.

.A GOOD WAY TO REVIEW By Jennie Hall Francis W. Parker School. I had just seen an Indian woman
make a split basket. I was afraid I should forget the process, and I wanted to tell my friends the story.
So I said to myself, "What arc the
important things to remember? Use black ash logs. Pounded log to loose layers. Wove like a kindergarten mat. I don't need to remember how long the logs were
or how big around or several other
things. How shall I make sure that I shall remember?"
I made a collection to show my
friends. I got a leaf of black ash and pressed it. I went back and took protographs of the weaver at work. I ' got a sample of the splints and made a drawing of a cross-sectioa cf the log showing the layers of growth. I wove a paper mat to illustrate the method of weaving. I wrote a little story about the work. It will be a long

Dear Friend: I am an American girl 10 years old and sorry you are not one, too. Well I am going to tell you some of the things we have and do. We have good things to eat and we play many games. We go to school every day but Saturday and Sunday. I wish you could have things like ours. We have nice chairs. The dinner chairs do not have rockers on them, but the Darlor chairs have rockers on them
fand they have arms too. We have
stoves and we have leather shoes. We have clocks that toil us when to go to school. We have pictures to hang on the walls. We have great Dig railroad engines and many toys to play with. Well this is all. Your loving friend, Katherine Welker.

time before I forget how a black ash basket is made, for in making my collection, I haa memorized the facts. A like plan, I believe, will help you some day when your teacher says "Review this subject." Think over what you have read and heard in class and pick out the most im
portant points. Never mind about the others. You won't need them and to try to keep them in your mind would be to crowd out more
important points. And then don't merely go over these facts like a parrot, but do something with them. If you are reviewing history put the important facts together into a story. Make a chart of the facts. . If your subject is geography draw a map of the section you are reviewing and put on it the points you want to remember. Play you are

Woodcraft
for Outdoor Boys and Girls
HIKING By Adelia Bell Beard There is plenty of fun in any hlko for the right kind of boy or girl, but there is moro punch in it when you have an object In view when you start out with the idea of accomplishing something besides cooking and eating your dinner. The woods and fields offer scores of interesting things as OBJECTS for a HIKK, more than you can take up in a year and all having to do with woodcraft. You have only to make a choice. Here are some suggestions that will set your mind and memory to work, ycvii will be able to find others for
yourself.
Hunt for the trailing Ground Pine, gather it, and take It home.
Try to find where the winter birds
hide. Identify trees by their winter buds, bark, and shape. Locate softwood and hardwood .trees. Find the outlet of a lake or pond. Gather Pitch Tine knots to make your home fires burn brightly. Identify
animal and bird tracks in the snow. This list of Don't's and Do's is another help toward the full enjoyment of a hike. IX) be sure your feet are in good condition before you start. DON'T wear new, tight highheeled, or pointed toed shoes. DO let your outer coat be warm

but not too long or cumbersome. Long coats are tiring because they hamper your movements. DON'T wear anything you are afraid of spoiling. DO take only good walkers with you. DON'T neglect to tell your family where you are going, and when. DO carry notebook and pencil. DON'T forget anything you are to take with you. DO all of your share of any work and be pleasant about it. DON'T worry, grumble, or whimper whatever happens. DO keep your eyes and ears open to see and hear the things of the wild. DON'T go so far that you will be tired before you start back. DO be happy. Copywright, 1920, by J. J I. Millar
WHY THE BEAR HAS NO TAIL. One day a bear was coming along the street, when he met a fox with a large string of fishes. The bear said, "Where did you get those fishes?" The fox answered, "I went down to the river, and broke a hole in the ice and stuck my tail in and caught all these fishes." The bear thought this was a good idea, so he left the fox and went down to the river and broke a hole in the ice and stuck his tail in and left it in for a long time, and when he thought he had a real good bite, he tried to pull his tail out, but it was frozen tight, and he pulled and pulled his tail off. And that is why the bear has no tail. Bertha Reis, Room I, St. Andrews School.
MAKING VALENTINES Last week we had a Valentine
