Dear Aunt Polly: Why does
Catherine like to boas everyone? T. M. People like to boss usually be
cause they think their ways of do-
in.- things are better than the ways
of others, and If everyone would do
as they say, they think everything would be all right. Trouble is though that everyone else thinks tho same way and that is what
makes all the muddles. Almost every war, has been due to this
feeling that rulers had of wanting
to boss. Perhaps your little friend Catherine feels that her ways of playing are better than yours. Sometime when she wants to boss you, you might remind her of Kaiser Bill he liked to boss, too. Aunt Polly. Dear Aunt Polly: What is my name? II. S. Dear Helen Smith: Well, mercy me, there I have written your name already. Aunt Polly. P. S. Helen, send in the answers to your riddles. We are holding them here waiting for the answers. To send the Junior riddles without answers is like buying a dress minus a sleeve at one time and then buying the sleeve some other time. A. P.
The Ghost! Once upon a time there was a man and his wife. They lived In
a big house up a lonely road, and one night while the husband lay asleep he heard something and tried
to make his wife hear it too, but she did not. So he wondered what was the matter with her. So he looked and she was dead. So tbe
next day he had her funeral. And Unit night when he went to bed he heard something in the room moving around. He got op and lit the Ihrbt and he did not see anything.
So be went back to bed and he heard it again and lay right Btill when he beard something moaning and groaning and then something
touched him and stumbled. Then
he saw something white coming to
ward him. Then something said, "Dear me! "Then the white thing went down stairs and he found it wag big dead wife with a ghost. It was like that forever until he died. Thomas Brown, Grade BB, Pinley School.

A car equipped with the airplane propeller. The inventor is shown standing at the edge of the platform with his hand on the rail. Inspired by the shortage of coal In Germany, Otto Steinitz, Berlin engineer, has designed a railroad locomotive with an airplane propeller, driven by two aerial, 250-horsepower, engines. It is said to be able to travel 130 kilometers an hour and consumes but &00 grams of benzine per kilometer.

On Treasure Island CHAPTER II. We Find the Treasures.
We were soon there and the girls and boys were almost crazy over the cave and we got our guns and belt cartridges and went out
to get some fish. Of course we had
poles. As we went toward the
water, forty-three Shetland ponies came up toward us and stopped about ten feet away. We petted them and they were glad to have
friends. We got a lot of fish and went back of the cave. The girls fried them while us boys looked
around the cave. We went In the
tool room and Harry moved a chest to get a coat and there he found a door behind it. We were soon in the room and there it was all full of poney blankets and saddles and bridles to fit ponies. We went and told the girls and they were happy as a spring chicken. After dinner we got the bridles and saddles out and there were forty of them and forty bridles. We took thirty-two of them and saddled the ponies, and rode around and they were pleased to have something to do. We then went fishing and got a lot of fish; then I got something on my hook and I pulled up a big chest. I opened it and what do you think was in it. Harry hooked up one too at the same time. Mine had gold piled up to the top with bars and Harry's was full of rubies. We took them home or rather to the cave and it was not long until we had a house built on the
island and we lived there the rest

A Chapel Thai Tells A Stoy Did you ever see a building that talked? In Pennsylvania they are building a chapel whose windows and nooks and wooden panels seem to really talk, and to talk about six of the most imporfant years in the life of our country. Those years from 1775-1781, are the years when our ancestors were making our country a real free United States instead of a colony of England. j This chapel that speaks is built
on the famous old encampment of i
1 am coming to live with you" said an elegant little aviator doll all made of bisque, in his most soldier ly manner as he looked forward to one of the best "flights' he ever made. "Wonder what those folks look like over there," ventured a lady dressed in a gown of navy blue silk that rustled sumptuously, and who had never before been farther away from home than the five blocks between her little mistress Mary Jane's house to Mary Jane's best friend's house where they had such wonderful tea parties. "Well, I have heard my father say," spoke up the soldier doll whose place was at the other end of the table," and he knows, for he was a colonel in the army" here he hesitated and all the dolls meekly nodded and bent forward to hear what this brave looking soldier had to say, for they were very much impressed by his important manner and thought that surely a colonel must know everything. "Go on! Tell us!" chimed in all the dolls together. "Weil," continued the soldier doll, "my father said that they have dark skins and large brown eyes and very white teeth, and that they are very much like the people we know here; they laugh and cry (sometimes) and eat and drink and sleep just as our masters and mistresses do and they like people and are kind and very friendly just
like our folks here in Richmond
even if they do live so many, many miles away. That's what my father said and he was a colonel!" finished the soldier doll with a final

its khaki cap. "Oh, goody, goody," cried the sunbonnet twins in high glee. Their bodies were of paper and the mouth of one of them had been crayoned a little on the slant, but their hearts were warm indeed j

Mary's Party! Once upon a. time there was a little girl and her name was Mary. She asked her mother if she could go to a party her friend had invited her to, and her mother said she co-'M. go. When the night came for the party she could hardly wait till the time tame for her to go. In a little while it was time for her
to go. She had a very nice time at the party. They served ice cream, cake and candy. Helen Lee, 6B

MABLE AND DOROTHY. Once upon a time there were two
little girls and they liked each oth
er very well. Their names were Mable and Dorothy. Dorothy said: "Come on, let's play a .game out in the woods." Mable said, "All right." So they did. It got dark and the children could not find their way home. Their father and mother were worried about them. All at once Dorothy heard a noise. She ran toward the noise and she saw her father. Her father took them

tended to have all sorts of guns, uniforms, important papers, flags, canteens stamps money and everything like that they can get, things that were used in this country during the revolution. There will be thirteen nooks in the cloister of the chapel and each one of these nooks will tell its story about the men and officers from one of the thirteen original states not in words of course, but
with pictures, letters and medals which can speak so plainly that no guide will be needed to tell visitors about these men.
Inside the chapel the ceiling is
made of forty-eight panels which
will say (tho' not in words) "Look
at me and see the result of that brave struggle put up by the men
of those first thirteen states. From me you can see that now there are forty-eight states and everyone of
them is busy and prosperous." From the glass windows we can learn the whole story of the first Americans, from the time of Mr. Christopher Columbus to the end of th Revolutionary war that left us a free country. One great big window will tell by thirty-six pictures the story of Washington's life. Other windows tell exciting tales of John Paul Jones, or important things about Robert Morris or
Thomas Jeff.-rson and other men
who were especially important at
that time,
In little niches above the choir stalls will be figures of men
dolls chosen to make the long talked of trip to new little masters
and mistresses in countries much farther away than a day and a night's journey. "I expect to have a lot of fun on board ship,' spoke up a large clown doll as he capered spryly around on top of the book case in such a reckless manner that a pretty little miss in a gingham dress and a gay bonnet gasped in dismay, fearing
he would dance right off the edge.
"I expect to dance over all

WHEN DOES IT COME? Leap year comes in every year which can be divided by four without a remainder, except in the century years, as 1900, when we have to strike off the zeros before, starting to divide by Tour. Doing this,
we find that the century year 1600 was a leap year, but that 1700 was
an ordinary year, and 1800 and 1900. The next century year that
will be a leap year is 2,000. Do you

of black fur.

they stood on exhibition, in such a laughable manner that every doll

THE VALENTINE BOX Friday the fifth grade had a valentine box at Joseph Moore School. Someone passed a slip of paper to every child in the room. Each one wrote his own name down, then someone took up the names in a hat. Then each pupil drew a paper and the name he got he had to make a valentine for. Then on
Friday we had the box brought to
