VAILE PUPILS SPEND CHARMING HOURS "VISITING" JAPAN "Japanese Day" was (he name Vaile boys and girls In the sixth grade, Miss Sanderson's room, gave to Wednesday last, and those in Miss Mawhood's, too, for they were the invited guests or the sixth grade. It was not a general Invitation either; no, indeed but the hosts sent written invitations to each desired guest and all the invited guests sent back personal letters of acceptance. The room looked very "Japanesy" indeed. All the sixth grade boys and girls had brought everything from their homes which had been made in Japan and there were Mandarin coats, klmomoa, dolls, ilishes. Dencil boxes and a great variety of beautiful things from Nippon, as Japan calls herself. But that was not all not nearly! for Miss Esther Griffin White's collection of Japanese curios, the best collection in Richmond, and probably the best in a much larger districtwas there on exhibition too. In this collection are Japanese paintings, Japanese prints, scarfs, carved ivory and cio'ssonnee pieces of great beauty, which had been brought by a relative of Miss White's from Japan. Miss White gave a most interesting talk to the pupils abaut the collection, and Miss Brokaw, who teaches in Senior High school, and who has but lately returned from a trip to Japan, spoke splendidly about the people and the customs of that country. Two records of Japanese music were played on the school Victrola. After the program the curios were carefully examined by all the boys and girls. The sixth grade is just about to begin the study of Japan in their geography work. ST. MARY'S DEFEATS VAILE IN FAST GAME; THE SCORE 26-11 Mulligan and Mecurio were main stars while Captain Richard Harrington and Runnels were the only ones to cover all the bases on one hit. Each player scored two runs and some more. Vaile's failing was its wild throwing and small playera and too many players after the ball. A band of about 40 rooters led by the yell leader, Gerrar.d Harrington of St. Mary's was held well by their captain and team, but got sort of wild in the third inning letting in six. This is the second victory for St. Mary's, owing to the game with Warner, 6-4. We have no deafeats o our lists. Line-up and Summary.

Warren Harding Buys Pair of Red-Top Boots

Warren Harding, when he was four years old, wanted a pair of red-topped boots very much. All the children were wearing these boots, at least many of them, and those who did not have them wished for a pair. One day, Mr. and Mrs. Harding, the parents, with the baby brother, Chatty, were going away on a visit and Warren was to stay at home with his Aunt Frank. His father told him he might go to Mr. Day's store and pick out a pair of redtopped boots. The next day Mr. Day told Mr. Harding how Warren picked out his boots. "He walked into the store and, singling out the proprietor himself, he said, big as a man: " 'I'd like to look at a pair of boots.' "Day showed 'em to him and made him pull them on, straining fit to burst a blood vessel, and Warren strutted up and down the store probably feeling as proud as Little Black Sambo, when dressed in his beautiful new clothes, he went out to take a walk in the jungle.

UICHMOND, INDIANA, SATURDAY, MARCH

BAXTER HOST FOR 1 WAGNER STORY HOUR Baxter school acted as host for the Story Hour Saturday afternoon, March 12, at the library. Harold Mnsa, Harriet Scott, Ivan Thompson, Alice Reid, Georgia Keesling and Charles Rogers assisted the story teller, Mrs. Brandon Griffls. Stories about the heroes and fairies and elves, of the Wagner Operas were told. Several books about these stories may be found in the children's department of the library. The names of these books are Wagner Heroes by C. Maud; Wonder Tales from Wagner, Anna Alice Chapin; The Story of the Rhinegold, A. A. Chapin; Stories of the Great Music Masters for Children, Mary Houts Flagg; Stories from Wagner, McSpadden; Young People's Story of Music, Ida Prentice Whitcomb; Stories of Wagner Operas told for Children, Elizabeth M. Wheelock, and Great Composers, Butterworth. FINE EXHIBIT BIRD PICTURES AT LIBRARY Splendidly colored birds, big ones and little ones, many, many of them their pictures, we mean mounted on cardboard, have been put up all around (he walls of the children's room in the library, by Mrs. Bernhardt and Miss Foulke. If you are not going to the library, anyway, it would be worth your while to make a special trip to see them. IT MADE US FEEL SORRY Miss Buhl's class of sixth graders of Joseph Moore school were experimenting with cement. The first thing we did was to make our moulds, which was the hardest job we had. Before we put the cement in our moulds, we painted the moulds white; then we put shellac on then. We mixed our own cement and put it in our moulds. The next time we went down to Baxter we took the cement boxes out of our moulds. Our class missed so many lessons on account of the holidays, that we did not have a test; but otherwise we would have had to take one. John Evans, Joseph Moore school. '"I think they'll do,' said Warren. " 'Want to wear 'em home?' asked Mr. Day. " 'Oh, no,' Warren replied. 'I only came because my paw says I'm to see how I like 'em. "Day prevailed upon Warren to wear them home, saying: 'Your paw means you to have 'em, and you've got 'em on, so why not?' "'Well,' said Warren, feeling pretty good by this time, 'if you're sure it's all right, I would like to wear 'em home.' So down the road he Btarted, walking in the middle of the highway and kicking up the dust. All at once he stopped stock-still. He eyed the new boots and the coating of dust, then turned back. " 'Mr. Day,' he exclaimed, as he re-entered the store, 'I guess I'll have to have a bracker!' '"A what?' asked Mr. Day. " 'A bracker to brack 'em with an' a box of brackin'.' " So we see that the President began early to be careful and neat; for, even then, he wanted to keep his beautiful new boots well blacked.

June was a very obedient girl, and was liked by everyone. Running to her mother she asked what she wanted. "Can you go to your grandmother's house, and get some eggs for me?" asked her mother. June said she would. Her grandmother lived in the country. In a little while she was in the country, walking along. "1 believe I will go through the woods, as it shorter," she said to herself. She didn't notice for awhile that she had gone in the wrong woods. But after awhile she found she was lost. She heard a loud hoot, but it was just an owl. Meanwhile her father was worried about her, and he and the dog went out to hunt for her. June heard a dog bark, and then her father and her dog came into view. They went home and June was all right except for a bad scare. Sara Copeland, 5A, Vaile school.
