AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

My dear junior friends: Shall wc give up our belief in and our ideal of brotherhood and democracy among all people because of fear, because of a false feeling of superiority, or because we are told it is "impractical?" Shall we say that laws which we know to be good for the homes and for the wholesome growth of our country in economic as well as social lines such as the Volstead prohibition amendment be recalled because their enforcement proves such a difficult thing? Can we imagine Lincoln saying to members of his Cabinet as they discussed the proclamation which was to free all slaves, "My friends, it IS a good idea, but of course, is impossible at this time because so many are opposed to it. In time all people will see in its true light and then the slaves will be free ?" We can not. Or can we think of Livingston who left his home in England to carry the knowledge of the things he had found most precious in life,! to the people living in ignorance of them in the Dark Continent, saying to his littl egroup of missionaries as they saw danger ahead of them: "Souetime it will come. Some day when conditions are improved, men v.iil come from other countries to teach these people. Now, however, ' It Is impractical. Let us go back the way we came?" No, we can not. If the great leaders of the centuries could have been turned back from their great purposes because of threatening dangers, or because these purposes seemed so little able to bo realized, Joan of Arc would1

have stayed in her home at Domrcmy, Columbus would have lived a

quiet life in Genoa, the Pilgrims would have remained in England, and

America would still be a subject province instead of a republic.

Prom tune to tune groups of people arise and organize, saying

we must show ourselves superior to that other group of people, we "will force them to acknowledge we are superior, or some day they

will become too powerful and overcome us. At the basis of this is

force and fear and the time has yet to be seen when force or fear or

hatred could make any result lasting, If their opponents were trust and

justice and kindness. As we read history we find that the great empires of the world were overcome when and only when the people within them had given up their strong, spiritual beliefs and principles and were living in luxury and idleness. As long as the people of America hold their ideals high and keep their motives pure and just and are kind and friendly and merciful, they have nothing to fear in the way of a permanent victory over them by groups of peoplo within their own country or by those of other countries. The Bible is full of references which tell us in simple words how to feel and act toward the people living near or associated with us, for instance: "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." And "Love thy neighbor as thyself! No, we shall hold firm to our ideals and keep our faith, believing with Sidney Lanier who wrote the following splendid tribute to America: .

"Long as thine art shall love true love, Long as thy science, truth shall know, Long as thine eagle harms no dove, Long as thy law by law shall grow, Ijong as thy God is God above, Thy brother every man below, So long, dear land of all my love, Thy name shall shine, thy fame shall glow. AUNT POLLY

the social activities entirely, nor did I drop my studies entirely. I merely struck the happy medium. I regulated tho two in such a way that I was master of both, and neither were master of me. Now, you can do the same. Of courso it's not too late. Just pitch in with determination, and watch for the results. 1 did it; you can do it. Can't you?" I replied that. I knew mighty well I could. Did I? I did. But it was only after some very hard studying over text books that I finally brought my grades safely above the pasing mark. I had to drop my work on the school paper, and I resigned the secretaryship of the Sophomoie Club, but I pulled through in fan-shape.

So that's how I learned that a person can't serve two masters and satisfy them both. The End. Boys and Girls Newspaper.

Alike, But Different

When you speak do you say what

you wish to express? If you have difficulty in this line it is well to

learn, more words, words which in general meaning are alike, but

which express different shades of

meaning. The following are words of this kind: To Accomplish Means to complete something one sets for himself to do. To Effect Means to cause something to be brought about as a result. To Execute Means to complete something complicated in its nature as to execute a design. To Achieve Means to bring about a successful result to some great or worthy enterprise by ef

fort.

The first airplane flight, which took place in July, 1909, will be observed by the United States Government. Orville Wright and hia brother, Wilbur, built the first heavier than air machine and on July 27, 1909, established an endurance record of one hour and twenty minutes continuous flight. Three days after, with one passenger, he flew from Fort Myer. Va., to Alexandria, Va., and return, a distance of nine miles each way. The Government allowed three attempts at this seemingly impossible teat, and when it was accomplished successfully the Wright brothers gaiued official recognition as the first to triumph with flying machines. One picture shows Orville Wright and Lieut. Foulois of the American army starting on the night from Fort Myer to Alexandria, which marked the first world's record for long dtaMnrp flvlnc. The other shows the plane at Governors Island.

Serving Two Masters

You Can't Do It and Satisfy Both. (Continued From Last Week) One day the dramatic club of tho school announced that several char

acters were needed for parts in a play that was soon to be presented by the students. I had taken part In one or two sketches in grammar school and had handled my lines fairly well, so, believing myself capable of fulfilling the requirements satisfactorily, and still answering the desire to create for myself a still more popular personality, I Joined the club and entered my name on the list for tryouts. I was accepted for a part in the play and

was given a copy of my lines to memorize. It was not difficult a great deal of fun, really but it took some time. And so it went. My time was scarcely my own. 1 was in a whirl of baseball games, club meetings, school papers, and what not. The 'consequences are easily seen. I was allowing my desire for a little change in the routine of studious undertakings to overcome my desire to keep up my class-room record. I was falling In my grades. Where I had been making A's and B's while a freshman I was now making C's and even D's. According to the system of grading at my school A was the highest markwhile I) ugh! Failing. I realized then and there that I was serving two masters one my ambition to make good class-room grades, and. the other my longing I

for popularity among'my fellows. I realized that the second of these two was getting more attention than the first. Some change would have to be made something sacrificed. I was in a quandry. The final examinations that marked what I hoped would be the end of my sophomore year, were near at hand. Only a little more than a month remained. Was it too late for me to

turn away from my clubs and teams and give all my attention to j my studies in one big effort to pass I the final tests? I was afraid so. j The next day I went to a friend

and advisor, Professor Morely, who taught mathematics in my school. I presented my case. "I've noticed, Paul," he said, "that your work has been falling somewhat below par for some time, and I guessed what was wrong. Been taking too much to the lighter things of high school life, eh? Well they're all right, but a fellow can overdo them. I'll tell you, Paul, at one time I was in the same boat;"

SECRET CODES HOW TO MAKE THEM

Here is a code which has been used in sending messages during

war. It is not easy to solve, and the fine thing about it is that it can be changed in such a way as to confuse any one who thinks he has the key. Let's pretend you are a spy in the camp of the enemy. You have

only we had that powder from the

powder-house," groaned the captain. "I'll get it," and before anyone could stop her, out dashed Elizabeth Vane. The Indians were so surprised at the sight of her that they stopped firing. It was not until she was running back to the fort with tho precious box in her hand that they realized what she was doing. Then they fired but it was too late, she was in the fort!

ANSWER TO PUZZLE IN LAST WEEK'S JUNIOR

eon to send a message back to the side you are working for. You can't write this message out In plain English, because there is too much danger of the pigeon getting into the hands of the enemy. So you have a code that you, have agreed upon with the people with whom you are working. You will write the message In this code, in

very small letters, and fasten It

inside the wing of the pigeon. Forming the Code

Suppose what you want to say

retreat.

o a place

where you can write out the code message safely by yourself- First, you write down all the letters of the alphabet in succession. Then you write out the message which you wish to put into the code. Next you put down the key numbers for the code.

These key numbers may be any numbers in any order, just so you and the person you are working with at the other end have a clear understanding as to what thoFe numbers are. loot's suppose you've decided on 87921 as the five num

bers for your key. You then write

1. Wheel, hood, axle.

PICTURE PUZZLE for JUNIORS

Answer to this will appear in next week's Junior.

these numbers above the letters of your message. Using the message given above, the figure 8 goes over

the letter T, 7 over If, 9 over E, 2 over E, and 1 over N. Then you start In with the number succession all over: S over E, 7 over M,

and so on, repeating the numbers above the letters until you come to the end of the sentences. Making the Message You are now ready ..to put your message into code. It's very simple. Above the letter T you have the figure 8. You then count 8 letters of the alphabet from T, and you have the code letter. Do you see? Take your pencil and point to the letters of the alphabet which you have written out.' After T you

count U, V. W, X, Y. and Z. Hut that is only G letters, and you are

ginning of the alphabet. The seventh letter will then be A and the eighth is B. Therefore, B Is the first letter in your code message. Proceed just like this to get the next letter. The next one happens to be H and the number above it is 7. You count forward 7 letters from It and the letter you get is O. This makes the second letter of the code. It's easy to finish up. When you get through you have the following succession of letters, wri' ten close together: "Bongomthcsmpwhvtsaguzljvtbyrmfvvf." Ptoesn't look like much of anvthing, does it? Deciphering a Message Now if you iiau iecc-ived this code message first, you would

have gone about solving it in much the same way. You would number the letters as you did in making up the code, putting 8 bove B, 7 above O, and so on. Then you would simply count back the number of letters indicated. That is, when B is 8 you count back through A. Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T, The eighth letter is T, and thi.i is therefore the first letter of the hidden message. If some one gets hold of some of your secret messages, and you are afraid they may manage, if they're clever enough, to get hold of your key, it's a very simple matter to change the code. You and your partner merely change the key numbers. Instead of 87921, you might choose 46352. With this

change, the letters used in writing

J the same message would be entire

ly different. A code like this, where you can make your own key, is an "honesl-to-goodness" secret. "

Secret signals, grlpa .anil paKwurils are part of every eluli. Maytio you're bunch has worked out a Hystem of Its own. Mavlie ll'R looking for jut the thing told about In "Secret Codes."
