A LETTER Dear Aunt Polly: I am a little girl ten years old and I am going to make up a story. Once upon a time there was a man and woman. They were going to a store to buy a piece of meat and they took it home and put it on the stove. And they burned it and they went and bought another one. They put the piece on and they ate their dinner. Then they went up town and bought a dress and the man bought him a suit When they came back, both of them put them on and they both looked beautiful.

WILL STUDY "BALANCE" IN NEW YORK EXHIBIT The pupils in the art- classes of the Junior High School are studying beauty of lines and balance at present. When' they visit the exhibition of New York painters, which was opened Sunday afternoon in the Public Art Gallery, they will especially notice the way in which these New York artists have secured balance in their work. The seventh grade art pupils in the Junior High School are studying houses. They have drawn many attractive interior and exterior views of houses.

Pupils of the County Schools in Exhibit A very interesting exhibit was) shown in the county sjrtntendcnt's office (Mr, Williams') at the courthouse lat week and it continued Until Tuesday of this week. Girls of the seventh and eighth grades who are in the Domestic science classes of all the schools of Wayne county except those of Richmond, Ilagerstown and Cambridge City, which are reckoned as "city schools" took part in the exhibit. Miss Harmon, domestic science teacher or supervisor for the county, has charge of this course, which includes sewing and a study of the home and family in alternating courses. A book of well chosen "inside and outside" views of houses was made by the Webster school children as was a scrap book filled with clippings likely to prove helpful to home makers. Towels, holders, aprons, kimono aprons and night gowns, gifts made of ribbon and dresses show the work of the sewing classes. The dresses were sent by girls in the Boston, Centerville, Milton and Economy schools. i Deserving special mention were the posters made by the children of Franklin township expressing their opinion of the value of the Fly. They think the only way to make a fly better is to kill him. Girls Did Not Do Evervthino Robert Weller of Boston township as me omy Doy in nis section and he decided he would show the girls they were not the only ones who could sew. He did it, too. One of the best pieces exhibited was thP all-over apron of dark blue goods! wnjcn liooert made for his mother. A well planned and well written notebook on The Home and Family was the work of Marjory Davenport, a seventh grade pupil in a Wayne township school. Two sixth grade pupils exhibited sewing which compared favorably with that exhibited by higher grade pupils. Prizes in silverware, spoons, thimbles and napkin-holders were awarded to pupils exhibiting the work judged the best. Miss Harmon says that visitors from all over the county came to the exhibit. She also vs that the boys of the county schools are very anxious to be offered courses in manual training.

The Fishing Trip

This is the prize-winning story of contest B in the Junior Story Writing Contest. When I wa3 five years old, my mother, father and I spent the si'mmer at Put in-Bay, Ohio. The Victory Hotel is up on the highest point and with its broad verandas, flower beds and the lake view it was an ideal spot. We went fishing every day, mostly very early in the morning. We had a flat bottom row boat with a motor in it and could go to any of the islands to fish. One morning we started earlier about 4 a. n?. and crossed over to Green Island that was about 3 miles, and no one lived there but the lighthouse keeper. We went around into a small cove and anchored. Oh, how the fish did bite that morning! Black bass, too! There were five of us, father, mother, Mr. Siebert, and his sister, Mable, 10 years old, and myself. We had caught perhaps 12 nice fish when mother said there was a storm coming. We pulled anchor and started off for home. By .this time there were big white caps all around us. We could not go back for if we would try to turn, the boat would upset. The men looked worried and talked little. One of them just steered the boat while the other one worked the motor, for if it stopped, we were gone. The big white caps would break over our boat and half fill it with water. Mother kept dipping it out with a can. WThen we got Into the channel it was worse. Mable and I began to cry. Papa leaned over and kissed mother and me. I, in my boyish mind knew it meant goodbye. It was my mother's bravery and faith that saved us. She put an arm around Mable and me each time a white cap was near, and would say, "Now hang on, here we go over the top!" Then she would dip water and sing, "Merrily we roll along" or anything she .could think of, to make ns eel we were safe. Our little motor boat came on chung, chung and when we reached the Bay we could not land it was so rough, but many people were there with ropes and willing hands to help us and it was three days before the storm stopped. And I shall never forget my fishing trip at Put-in-Bay. PAUL BATTENBERG, : ' Age 9 years, grade 4A, Finley school.

Writing Is Slow Work in China How would you like to take a brush, ink block and ink tablet and paint hieroglyphics, or a sort of picture letters, on the paper when you write a letter? That is the way people write in China and have written for more than 4,000 years. There are 10,000 of these picture letters in their written alphabet. It would take a long time to learn one's A, B, C's there, wouldn't it? People who have gone to China to live, and especially the mission workers, have found it was a big task to try to learn to read and write in that country. So they are trying to teach the people to use a typewriter with only 39 characters. The present government at Pekin, which has shown many times that It wished to help the Chinese people to get in closer touch with the life of the western nations, has expressed its approval of this change in writing their language. A TERRIBLE FRIGHT Once upon a time when I was little, I told my mother I was going for a walk. She gave me a bucket and told me to get some berries. I went to the woods thinking it was the place to get the berries. As I was picking them I saw two fiery eyes. I ran to a tree to get out of reach of the beaBt. I stayed in the tree a long time waiting for it to come out. When it did come I saw it was a rabbit Clifford Calne, grade 6B, Baiter school.
