The Tattler.

The high school magazine come.
out in new dress and new name
THE Tattler," and the cover is gold
with crest Of purple-high school
colors. Those who think lightly o!
the new name. associating with ii
only idle gossip, are asked to re-
member that the title has become
classic in its meaning-since Addi-
son & Steele used il for their pc
riodical. THE Tattler" was a notable
series Of observations on life and
literature of the eighteenth century
and at once became the most popu-
lar periodical Of the time.
Our high school Tattler will ell
deavor to win favor by following
very modestly in the steps of its
great predecessor. and be fair, kind
and impartial in its treatment Of
people and events.
The frontispiece contains excel
lent photos OF Supt. Byrd and Miss
Sharp, senior professor and teacher
Of history, with appropriations" Of
both by r. j. NJ. Miss Sharp con-
tributes the opening article "A Wei
come to the Pupils" SO kindly, SYM
pathetic and wholesome that it
might be called heart-to-heart
talk. 1.-The Value of Good Books" is
the title of an excellent article by
Miss Rec de Blieux. Reggie Hargrove
Jr., writes some pertinent things on
the school Spirit" The following
sentence might be crystaliized into
thought that carries with it an ad-
"The support of the stu
dents is needed to make all the or
ganizations successful, financially as
well as in other ways" The notes,
news and jokes are all good.
The decoration of the cover,
which also spells the name, is the
clever work of S. G. Weiner. The
although subscriber. was
sent number with the compliments
of The Tattler star, which favor she
hereby acknowledges with apprecia-
ton.

phase of every day life that is not
reached by the home, is recognized
in the organization. The girls at the
meetings tell each in turn what they
have done at home and receive their
honors accordingly. Ia.
There are eight branches under
which honors may be earned, and
they are as follows: Home cooking,
home sewing, home decoratlon,
home culture. home cleaning, home

Ancient egyptian.

The question, "Of what race were
the ancient Egyptians" has never
been satisfactorily disposed of, but
we may be sure that they we're not
negroes. They were not black, nor
was their hair "kinky"-therefore.
they belonged to some other than the
negro race. They certainly were not
Caucasians, nor were they of the Mon
golian or yellow breed of nan The

and as the result have their own a
plants. On the drained marshy land,
below the sea level. natural gas Is
quite plentiful. and plants have been
installed to put 1t into practical use.
The installation comprises a well,

therein. this extracting the gaseous
properties from the water and con-
Quoting them to a reservoir containing
a supply for the house. The gas thus
obtained provides all the wants for

ed, which is at a small expense, the
cost Is absolutely nothing. and the
quality Of the gas is said to be par
