Flavor is most important, for the
value of bread depends largely upon

The bread should be light through

proper amount of yeast, and allowing
bread to rise the proper length of time.

Grain and texture are decided large
ly by the kneading which evenly dis
tributes the yeast, thus insuring a fine
even grain.
The crumb should be creamy white.
not dingy and gray, and should be
moist and elastic, with no doughiness.
The crust should be thin, golden
brown and flaky.
The loaf should not be too large to
bake well in the center. A moderately
stiff dough in an oven neither too hot
nor too slow should give good results.

Girls May Form
Bicycle Club

Dear Secretary:
have thought it would be good
plan to form a girls bicycle club in
connection with our boys clubs.
OF course there are many girls
who belong to our boys clubs but
l have thought if the number was
large enough to have them form a
club of their own.
Won't you write me and let me
know how this idea appeals to you
and at the same time send me the
names OF some girls whom you
think would like. to form a club.
Our largest club of girls is in
Brooklyn, N. Y, and has thirty one
members.
You will probably be interested
to know that / am working on a
club newspaper that will go to each
member and l wish you would tell
lions for club activity which they
the boys to send me any sugges-
think would interest the other
members.
Yours very truly,
George B. Hendrick,
Fisk Club Chief.

Dorothy Miller
Describes Trip
to Newport News

Dear Little Ones:
Well, here l come again, little
friends of The Junior, and l want
to tell you little about Newport
News, Va. loved that place.
When we We're on our way to
Carolina we left Richmond, Indiana,
and did not change cars until We
landed there; and by stopping to
rest few days, we stayed five
weeks. l was so unfortunate as to
break my arm and the doctor
wouldn't allow us to go on until it
was almost well.
But after it was broken, it did
not hurt me to go about much, so
l saw sights of value to me. One
was the largest hotel in the United
States, Hotel Chamberlin, built in
the deep waters of the Chesapeake
bay, entirely surrounded with
water. The hotel was red and it
looked very beautiful.
Hampton Roads is a grand old
waterway, for some of the largest
ships in the world come there. and
the ship-yards at Newport News.
where so many large ships are roll
ed in to be repaired, is wonderful.
They employ 1000 men all the time
SO you understand how much work
they have.
Newport News is very nice
little town of about 10000 inhabi-
tants, and many beautiful homes
are along Hampton Roads, facing
the water. Street cars run all
along this beautiful water edge to
the Chamberlin hotel which is sew
eral miles from Newport News.
] saw oyster shells piled as high
as a five story building when they
were canning oysters, and the
largest fish I ever saw was caught
there. Also they have many
churches and good schools.
When my father saw the grounds
30 years ago where Newport News
is at present, it was a swamp and
woodland But now it is a beautiful
little city, situated on the most
beautiful deep water in the world.
AT least, say so.

Rip Van Wrinkle
Pleases Childr en-

Saturday night was childrens
night last week, without any doubt,
for the big tent at the Chautauqua
was half full of youngsters to see
Rip Van Wrinkle, and they stayed
until the play was clear over in
spite of thunder storms and very
late hours.
All of them liked it, especially
the last part where poor old Rip
came back, and found that mean
old man making such trouble for
his wife about money; and the way
Rip finally got things Strengthened
out and said, "Give him cold po-
tato, and let him CO."
But of course one thing that
made the children like the play so
much was that several of their
friends took their parts in it so
we'll, when Eleanor Wissler played
little Meenie, Everett (BilD Lemon
played Henrick, Robert Wilson and
Clifford Burr, dwarfs, and Julia
Burr, a villager.

Hold Boat Race

A boat race was held at the Glen
last Tuesday in which Mr.. Bran
mer and Harold Sinex competed,
each having two boys in the boat
The race became very exciting; at
the start SineX got a slight start
which he kept up half way down
the course, but about there ad-
vanced years began to prove SUI
preme and Mr.. Brammer beat by a
length and half over. Mr.. Bran
mer won the race fairly and square
ly, and since he is assistant scout
master, while Sinex is scout,
there are no hard feelings.
Paul Lichtenfels had to go home
because late hours doesn't seem to
do him much good. The latest we
got in bed was 10000, so this proves
that Edison's theory is all punk
when he says that five hours sleep
is enough for any man, for Paul
slept until $3.50, making eight
hours and a half. Oh well, Paul is
far from manhood yet.

German Children
Please Visitors

One of the prettiest sights that
4 Richmond traveller ever saw while
he was abroad, was near a little
German village, when he suddenly
came onto a crowd of little school
children sitting along the stone
abutments of an arched bridge,
blowing soap bubbles and allowing
them to float down the little stream.
1t evidently was holiday expedi-
ton, and this orderly little group
of children in their quaint German
costumes, was spending the day
quitely and happily in this charm
ing way. Soap bubbles are fun,
aren't they? And the next time
you blow some. think of those little
folks way across the ocean who like
to do the same things you do when
they sit along the stream on their
holidays.

I am going to write about the
'Wolf and the Kid" but / am going
to give it another name,
The Foolish Kid
Once upon a time there lived in
Farmer Browns farm-lot a kid
which the farmer priced very much.
The kid was very closely watched
by Fritz, a large sheperd dog, be-
cause a wolf had been seen in the
village. One night Fritz went to
sleep. Along came the wolf and
saw the kid on top of the milk
house so he began an said, "Oh,
what a dear little kid. What
beautiful wool you have! Won't
you come down here? | have some
nice sprigs for you" So the kid
came down to get the sprigs, when
Mr.. Wolf packed her on his back
and took her to his den and had her
for supper.

listen to flattery, because it will
not come to a good end
