HOUSES AND STORES
BUILT IN AlRSHlPS
FIRST PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
MY grandchildren and l sat on the
vi lawn on my eighty-first birth
AtA day talking and reading.
"Grandpa, won't you tell us the
story about when you were twenty
one."
"That is an old story" / answered
Eyes, but we want to hear it again"
well, when was twenty-one, was
teaching a little school near Los An
geles. Our school house was built in
tree, and so were al other school
houses 1t stood right on the banks of
a little stream. One day l was about
to punish a boy when he ran out. For
getting we were in o tree he fell into
the stream. 1 thought that was pun
ishment enough
Another day, after a hard rain
storm, there was q severe wind and
suddenly we felt ourselves falling.
Then there was a crash; our school
house tree had fallen. No one was
hurt much.
"All the stores and homes in Los
Angeles were built on airships. You
even had to pay for space in the air
in those days. The old Los Angeles
that was on the ground was mere
curiosity, which many people visited.
1 remember one time when the gas
escaped from one of the stores and 1t
sank. 1t was smashed all to pieces.
The ruins burned up quickly The
stores above moved out into the street
so they would not get on fire."
MY, how ld-fashioned," exclaimed
the children.
yes, l know all these things seem
old-fashioned to you, now that people
come and go from the moon and all
the planets of the universe every day,
yet in those times they were quite up
to date"
Just then the paper came and we
read it, or rather, listened to it, for it
was a phonograph record. SO we put
it on the phonograph and listened to
the news.

A TAME COYOTE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
''Only two more weeks" cried Ar
thur, land then the mountains for
me-" He had for many weeks counted
the days until vacation, when he and
his brother EugeneS accompanied by
their parents, should spend their three
months vacation at Idyllwild.
The two weeks went slowly, but the
end came at last, and two happier
boys were nowhere to be found.
Bright and early Monday morning
the family started and soon were hap
PLY settled in their mountain cottage.
The next day Arthur, Eugene and
their father, Mr.. Robinson, started on
a fishing trip. Lots of small fish rose
and snapped at the bait-which was to
large for them-but no big ones took;
and after fishing until late, they gave
1t up and went back to camp.
That night the boys were tired and
so saying, in boy fashion, turned in"
early.
Next day the boys and their parents
went farther into the mountains to
spend a few days.
They had a lovely time and were
preparing to go back to their cottage
next day.
That evening they had jam for sup
per, and had just finished the contents
of pint jar, which was thrown care
lessly aside.
In the middle of the night a great
commotion was heard and Mr.. Robin
son upon investigation found that
coyote had got it's nose into the jar
and was unable to get it out.
The animal stood perfectly still, too
frightened to move, and in that way
was easily captured.
The next day the family returned
to Idyllwild, also the coyote, for the
boys refused to have it shot, saying,
"It will make fine pet"
The animal became quite tame and
before the end of vacation they had
a pet as nice as any dog.

in the Auditorium, and the old soldiers
and the decoration of the waves.
We drove down town in the donkey
cart, but it was so crowded it took
long time to get around so we missed
the parade. Then we tried to hurry
over to the park and, although we
couldn't see a thing, we heard the last
verse of America AMI then followed the
crowd out to the end of the pier. The
sun parlor was so crowded that we
couldn't see them decorate the waves
from there, so we went to the top of
the stairs to the lower deck and there
we stopped for there was guard on
both stairways. We waited at the top
for him to let us down till half hour
after the other guard had let his side
down and then he was persuaded to
let us down, but 1t was too late, be-
cause we just saw the last old soldier
march away and, saw the wreaths and
flowers float away.
Then we went to the Auditorium,
but were again disappointed, for it
was packed to the doors. We had
good time, although we did miss see
ing everything.

Letters to Aunt Laurie From NepheWs and NieceS
WILL BE A SINGER

Dear Aunt Laurie:
When 1 am 81 I expect to have
finished high school and two years of
college. I expect to graduate from
high school when am 18, and then
want to enter some good college.
Meanwhile I am going to take piano
or vocal lessons. as 1 have been told
that my voice should he cultivated.
I naturally have a talent for music.
NV mother and sisters play the piano
very well, but have never had les
sons.
A few lessons with a good vocal
teacher, is a good deal better than
many with a poor teacher, so l want
to have the best. and save up my
spending money for it.
Maybe my ambitions are too great,
but / want to sing because that has
always been my great desire.
After two years in college l viii
probably be able to teach for a couple
of years, as l think I would like to
try teachinga little while. The chill
dren of the sixth or fifth grade are about
the best age, think, and would ike
to teach them If l had my choice.
I am nearly through my ninth year
in school, and l will do the best l can
and see in later years what am
fitted for. Sincerely yours,
