AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

Cood Evening, Junior "Friends: It is always a pleasure to give honor to those who deserve it and so Richmond people during the past two weeks have been pleased to think and speak with special appreciation of the splendid work which has been done by Richmond florists in the growing of roses. Many people from Richmond have been among the crowds that visited the great Flower Show which has been held in the State Fair grounds In Indianapolis during the past two weeks. In this exhibit, millions of flowers of the loveliest specimens of many, many kinds, are

shown and have been sent there by florists all over the United States me.

and Canada. "This is the fifth National Flower Show to be held in this country, and the first one held since the United States entered the war. The last one was held in Philadelphia, In 1916. Before that the exhibits were In New York, Chicago, and Cleveland, so you see Indianapolis should feel especially proud to have it this year.

Sevastopol Children Make Picture Story The following group stories were made from Milet's picture of "The

First Step," by children in the 3A grade of Sevastopol school: The Baby's Story "I like to walk,""said Baby. "Mother took me out to show

Father that I could walk. Father

said I could do it very well. He was very much surprised." The Mother's Story 'Father, Baby can walk. I want you to see him take steps. He took a step in the house. I was washing dishes and he came to me. He stood up by the table and said, ' Mama.' " The Father's Story "I was working In the garden. Mother brought our baby out to

She said the baby could walk.

Is that true? Come to me, Baby."

The following are original stories made from the same picture and from the same theme:

CLAY MODELING AT HOME

By Our Observer at the' Chicago Art Institute Book ends, with which a set of books may be held together on a shelf or table, have become very popular. With your modeling clay you can make a set of book ends in no more time than one evening. As In the making of pottery, the modeling of book ends is a process of building up. You start with a mass of clay that resembles in a general way the shape of the figure you have in mind. By adding and taking away bits of clay here and there the mass finally begins to take on a more detailed shape. The tools needed to model book ends are few. Your fingers are

applied to this book end to make it effective. Incense burners are not hard to make, either. In the picture sev eral suggestions for burners have been offered. One of these, which consists of a small bow with a covering in which there are a number of narrow openings through which the smoke of the burning incense comes, is quite common. A more unusual burner is that of the figure of the Japanest man holding an incense bowl. It is a little harder to make, but very at tractive. Pumpkin Faces Require Color The pumpkin face burner, which has a removable top and openings

His red Richmond rose is another rose which, many years ago, made Mr. E. G. Hill prominent among growers of roses.Other Richmond florists who have grown some lovely new roses are Mr. Joseph H. Hill and Mr. Fred Lemon. Mr. Essenmacher, who designs baskets and wreaths and sprays of flowers in Lemon's Flower Shop won several prizes for the French baskets which he sent for the exhibit. In these were orchids, violets, roses, daffodils, sweet peas and many spring flowers. Mr. George R. Gauze also exhibited a beautiful urn of carnations. For all of these men we feel a great appreciation of their work and we are glad that at special times as now when the present exhibit is being held, we may speak the appreciation we feel. They have worked some of them for many years long and hard, though enthusiastically, in growing flowers and in producing new kinds of flowers, especially of roses. That reminds us that In the green

houses of the Glen Miller Park now are many plants of the new geran

ium raised by Mr. Fred Lemon a pale pink one with a lovely deep pink

center named the Alice Lemon geranium. These will be used in dec orating many of the flower beds in the park thi3 spring.

Mr. Gurney Hill told some boys and girls once in chapel exercises that people spoke of flower-growing as such a lovely thing which it

certainly is but that we should remember that it very ainy wont, iou, and very hard work, as plants havo to be set and re-set in larger pots

continually as they grow, and watered, ana trimmed, ana trameu, auu cared for in many ways all the time. And probably it is true that anything that is achieved, however lovely it may appear in its final dress,

is the result of many, many hours, day after day, or carerui, routine woik. We all like flowers and like to think that great big countries enjoy flower shows (though many of us may not be able to see them) and we like to honor Richmond men for their excellent part in this work.

RADIO NEWS

The Garfield Junior High School Radio Club has been organized, and meets with Mr. Pohlkotte, a member of the Garfield faculty. They are now studying the fundamentals of wireless. At the last meeting they covered magnetism, the different kinds of current, and electrical waves, with a drill on units of measurement of electricity. Next Friday they will study detectors and condensers. The condensers are made of tinfoil and wax paper, and the detectors are made of but a small piece of brass and a mineral of radiocite, silicon, or galena. They hope to erect an aerial soon.

STORY OF SPEECH In Old Babylon You must understand that we are now talking about the many times great grandsons of Keeneyes and Pigeon, for hundreds of years have passed since people could not talk at til. Our new boys lived where two rivers overflowed. They called it Mesopotamia, "the land between the rivers." One day they went down to the river to fish. Here they found some very nice clay. They said to each other, "Let us mold a deer from this clay." When they had rolled it out in a flat layer, they said, "Let us get a stick and draw on it." They made figures on it that looked like wedges and said they meant different things. After a while everybody began to use these wedge-shaped or cuneiform characters in writing, like this:

! ! ! (only some of the characters were horizontal instead of vertical). At last even the rich men used little clay tablets, sun-dried, to write on, mostly receipts for sales or bills, and they stored them away in rooms, which are called libraries today. Keeneyes and Pigeon talked in a coarse, gutteral way, like growling,

or as if they had a cold. This was because people then did not talk all day, as we do now. Wilma Morgan, grade 7A, Garfield school. Ed. Note: This is the fourth chapter in the story of how language started in the world, and how it grew to be the great, big power it is, today.

The fourth burner is really the simplest to make, consisting only of a small bowl resting on four legs. When the clay has dried, paint the burner with your water colors, and then finish it with either shellac or bee's wax. The shellac will make the model shiny, while the bee's wax gives a more dull, soft finish. If you apply bee's wax, do not put it inside the bowl where

the incense will be burnt. Coat

the inside with shellac. Boys' and

the same vocal numbers were to be given. Dorothy vWentz was to dance a Balloon Dance.

Several members of last term's

orchestra who were promoted to Garfield in February, have been playing with the school orchestra in these special engagements. As

they are not now regular members

of Vaile school's orchestra they are not in the picture. We wish to mention them, though, as they are active in these special appear

ances, rney are: isaomi us borne and Charles Hawekotte, violinists; Robert Wilson, cornetist, and Doro

thy Wentz, pianist. Other places where this orchestra has played are: the First Methodist Sunday School, the United Presbyterian Sunday School, and the Sunday School of the South Eighth Street Friends. Vaile School orchestra was organized in November, 1920, with Miss Eva Mawhood, director and Mr. Maddy, director-in-chief (as we may say). Under her leadership the orchestra was started and progressed nicely until in November, 1921, when she was forced to give up school on account of illness. For several weeks the orchestra was without a director. About two weeks before the competition concert of the grade orchestras, which was January 27th, the members became so eager to take part In that concert, that they asked

Mrs. Harry Doan if she would direct them until after the concert. To their delight, she agreed, and has remained In charge as Miss Mawhood in not yet able to return to school. The constancy and enthusiasm Mrs. Doan has shown in the work has added a great deal to the steady development of this organization. At present the orchestra is practising on the numbers, "Over the Waves' 'and "Arcadia, 'which they will play with the other grade school orchestras in concert early in April.
