COUSIN HELEN'S LETTER

Dear Juniors: You are learning 3-our Christmas carols now. As I hear your plans for singing through your school halls, it makes me long to hear you, as your pretty voices are raised to "Glory to God In the highest, and on eartU peace, good will toward man." "Peace on earth, good will to man," Is such a cheering thought to dwell on. It can be applied to our own selves in both big and little ways. The whole world sighs peacefully at the thought that the World War is over. Throughout this struggle every nation in the world suffered tremendously. We each one were deprived of things, which, undel ordinary circumstances, we considered necessary. Nations that had been industrially strong reached a state of bankruptcy on account of the unnecessary waste caused by this conflict. On top of the struggle the great monsters of Bolshevism and Anarchy attacked the very structure of all the countries of the world. Now we fee that the war is over and a general reconstruction that will perpetuate peace and destroy universal war is under way. We beMeve that, as a certain general said, "Every war Is a national calamity, whether victori6us or not." Peacefully and thankfully, we fee,l that the world is reaching a point where it will obey the great commandment, "Thou shalt not kill." The thought of peace and good will can guide us in our home lives. From the smallest Junior to the largest we are all a part of a home machine. It is a comfy, cozy machine but works by rule just like a motor car. Each one of us must do a goodly share of the working. Even if we are not big enough to do much helping in the housework, we can help spread cheer and smiles in the family to keep ' it running smoothly. We can carry the same thought to our schools. It is the most pleasing thing to do, to step inside a school building. It is just amazing how busy every one is. Even if it is recess time, everyone is playing most industriously. And by keeping busy, everyone Is helping to keep the peace of the school. We desire peace with our playmates and friends and their good will. In return we offer our good will. We can do this in so very many little ways. Courtesy is one. How it can war,m the heart to be treated with real courtesy! And to be courteous is so easy if one Just cares to be. We have found it so, have we not, Juniors? Helpfulness is another way to show our good will and it has a big return

to us in our daily lives. Let me join with you as yod sing "Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the new born king. Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled. Joyful all ye nations rise! Join the triumph of the skies. With ungelic host proclaim, Christ is born in P.ethlehcm! Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the new born king."

In all good will, COUSIN HELEN,

Old Sailor Sam takes care of boat3 down where we go each summer, and you should hear the yarns he spins! ' Oh, boy, each one's a hummer. Ho sits all day upon the dock, no matter what the .weather, and there ho tells us wondrous tale9 for simply hours together. Ho talks of days of long ago when he was always sailing, and

used to keep the watch, you know,

until tho dawn was paling. Then nothing else could pleaRe him mora

than riding o'er the billow and watching stormy clouds sail by, the

wet deck, for a pillow.

Once he was captain of a fhip

that carried gold and lumber. He had a funny kind of crew, some green ones in their number. "We

struck a squall," says Sailor Sam.

"before we saw it brewin', and in a trice my little ship was drlvin'

straight to ruin.

"The crew was scared as Filly

sheep. They saw the end appearin'. 'The boats! Tho boats!! they shouted loud, of home and safety thinkin. I couldn't stand to see 'em leave my pretty boat a-slnkin'. "'Get-back there, men,' I yells to them, my trusty gun a grabbin', and single-handed drove them back and locked them in tho cabin. And then I steered my flounderin' ship until the storm was ovr. Heigh ho! Them stunts ain't much to onetthat's been an ocean rover.

"A fire broke out one time when

I was captain of 'The Polly.' To

try to drive her Into shore, they all agreed, was folly. Some passengers we had aboard; the flames

was spreadln' madly, ,and as for

boats, the ones we had was all a-

leakin' badly.

"I steered her in. When we was

safe, my eyebrows both was miss-

in'. The passengers all wept with joy, my horny hands a-kissin. A

'Hi! mif

sailor's life it ain't no cinch; you must be brave and trut-ty. But that'8 the life, my boys, for men. It makes you hale and lusty." Last week my father brought from town a man named Captain Taylor. We went out walking on the beach and spied old Sam, the sailor. The Captain, who's a fine old chap, yell3 out: "Well, this is jolly! I haven't seen you since the days you cooked upon my 'Polly'!"

PRINCIPAL OF SCHOOL SIDED WITH YOUTHFUL STUDENTS "We have fought a good fight," was the motto which a high school graduating - class in Mason City, Iowa, adopted a great many years ago. Behind this motto was a story. The Bchool board had ruled to banish flowers from the graduating exercises. The students took up arms. Miss Carrie Lane, their young principal, elded with them.

They struggled so valiantly that the board changed its mind. This incident was but ,a forerunner of the greater struggles in which Miss Carrie Lane, now known as Mrs. Carrie Chapman Cat t, was to be' a leader. Recently at Geneva, Switzerland, she was elected president of the

Woman's World Suffrage Alliance.

worm s recoras tor moaei aeroplane flying. Clip these articles until you have the complete set. Including the directions for flying your machine.) The propeller, motor-base, and wings are now completed, and only a few small parts are needed before assembling, and flying our model. These are a hook for the rubber at the rear and two or more little washers to fit o nthe propeller shaft between the propeller and its hanger to reduce the friction when the propeller is unwinding. The rear hook is a piece of music wire, No. 10 gauge bent in the form of an "S", but with the ends closed. Tho washers are made from a thin sheet of metal. A small hole the exact size of the propeller shaft ia

punched In this and both slde3 of the sheet filed smooth again. Cut around this hole to make a doughnut shaped piece of metal oneeighth of an Inch in diameter. . Us Two Washers Two of these washers are enough. They ehould be slipped on the shaft tight against the propeller, which canr now bo attached to the motorbase by slipping the shaft through the little eyelet in the propeller hanger, as shown in the drawing. A strip of rubber gives the power to fly the model. This can be had at a toy store or model supply house. It should be two feet long, three-sixteenths inch wide, and half that In thickness. The ends should be tied together in a square knot. It I3 attached at the rear with a wire "S" hook as shown in the illustration. The drawing also shows how the rubber passes through the wire "can" and hooks on the prepeller shaft at tho front. Th( propeller is ready to wind.
