Is the joke on the school committee. the
carpenter or the children? The West
Surry schoolhouse was reported as leak
ing on one side. Funds for repairs were
limited, but the school committee decided
that they must keep the children dry, and
ordered one side of the roof shingled.
The job was all done before it was dis
covered that the wrong side OF the roof
had been shingled.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
| will write you n short letter, telling
YOU how and where l would love to
spend my Christmas holidays.
l would like to so back to Iowa, the
state l was born in, where nearly all
my relatives live. L would go sleigh
riding with a team of nice black ponies,
and they would have merry 1ingling
bells, and my cousins and 1 would go
skating oB the ice and make snow men
out of the beautiful snow. We would
have a jolly good time snowballins
each other. After the holidays were
over and l had my visit l would like
to come back to dear old California be-
cause 1 would rather live here than In
Iowa. If they do have snow there we
have the flowers here.

HOPES TO MAKE TRIP
TO MEXICAN METROPOLIS
Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
l am writing to you on the subject
of How Shall l Spend My Holidays?"
l suppose you mean the Christmas
holidays.
If papa and mamma do not come up
from Mexico to spend the holidays,
mamma gave me a hint as to the
present papa will give me for Christ
mas.
l have been as far south in Mexico
as Culiacan, but never to the City of
Mexico. / think that maybe papa viii
take mamma and me to all the cities
in the central part of Mexico 1t will
be quite a treat to all of US, for none
of us have been very far south.
The old carts they use in Culiacan
are about like the ones we used here
100 or 200 years ago. They are pulled
by oxen, and the wheels are solid. [
saw an old stage down there and | felt
as though l were living in an ancient
history lesson.
/ hope to go TO many of the foreign
countries abroad and in America. But
then l may never even go on this
lovely trip because of those two dread
ful little words-"if' and maybe"

A Vacation Letter

Dear Aunt Laurie:
| see from the Junior that you are
taking a vacation and are having q
very pleasant time.
You are like US children. you want
a rest and holiday sometime, for
think it must be very hard work for
you to read so many letters from the
Juniors and decide what shall be put
in the paper and also decide about our
drawing.
Aunt Laurie, I think it is easier for
you to decide what is good than ii is
for us to do the work. Sometimes

pose a god story on what had seen in
my playground, SO l decided not to
write on either topic.
You are having good topics. I should
think it would be hard to select so
many topics for the contests and think
you do find splendid ones
Although I haven't written to the
Junior every Sunday I have read it
and decide to write again.

Queries About Drawing Paper

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Is it absolutely necessary to draw on
bristol board? 1t is hard to get and
Alan has some good smooth white pa
per, which is required in his drawing
course. His is the kind the profess
sional artists use, so we think it ought
to do, OF course if you prefer the
bristol board we will use it, because
we don't want to always be Objecting.

HUNT ANOTHER
JACK THE RIPPER
AS SLAYER OF Il.

London, Dec. 1.-Lordon police
today are securing the city for a
well-known criminal who they
charge as a second Jack the Rip
per-" Authorities say he is guilty
OF at least a dozen murders, all
accomplished by cutting the
threats of his victims.
He is believed to have killed
Lilly Templeton I'm her apartments
at Brixton Saturday night. The
police Monday found bloody fin
gerprints on the furniture In the
Templeton girls room that prove,
according to the officers, tina. the
murderer was the man who killed
Emily Dimmock in Camden town.
Middlesex, two years ago. The
Dimmock murder was one of the
most battling mysteries in recent
years.
The evidence connecting the
Templeton and Dimmock crimes Is
positive, the police say, and they
claim the evidence that the same
man has slain at least a dozen
persons in the last five years is
equally convincing. The crimes
have been such as are usually
committed by degenerate of the
homicidal type.
