done.

was made in two sections. The
roof was made in third piece.
when put together it measures 4
feet in length, five feet in heighth
and six feet in width 1t has nine
windows and one door.
After the framework was done
We started on the weather-bOard-
ing The saving was hard and our
teacher helped up in this but we
nailed ali the little boards in place
except the first two. John RisiO
was oar foreman.
Next We made the roof. 1t is
made of shingles and there is a
little chimney which John and |
mIde.
Our teacher and Miss Jay plan
ned the house and left it to the
boys to build it. We have worked
on ii about two months and it is
about ready for US to joint. 1t is

Now | will tell you how we take
1t apart. We first lift the roof off.
IT. is heavy and takes, about six
boys. The two sections which

screws and straps of iron. Then
we take the straps off and the Sec

Our Christmas Program

Before we closed our school for
our Christmas vacation we had a
very nice program. Each room had
about three numbers.
When it was time for our pro-
gram we marched out in the hall
and sat down on the steps
We were singing children of
Liberty" (the music of this song
was written by Mr.. Sloane) when
in walked Santa Claus and Aunt
Molly.
How glad we were to see them.
We invited them to stay and sang
the song again for them.
l know they liked the song.
Then we went on with our program.
Santa Claus and Aunt Molly had
to leave before we finished our
program and we were so sorry, but
they had to go to another school,
and We knew that children of 9th
er schools were just as anxious to
have them. So we wished them a
Merry Christmas and they went
away.
When each room had finished
their exercises We went to our own
room, babe each other goodbye and
vent home for our Christmas va

SENATOR OLLIE
M. JAMES DEAD
Well-known Kentuckian Familiar Fig
ure in Congress, Having Served Ten
Years in the House and Six in the
Senate of the United States.

Baltimore, Nd, Aug. 2S.-Senator
Ollie NJ. James of Kentucky, who has
been a patient at Johns-Hopkins hos
pital in this city for several months,
suffering from a general nervous
breakdown and other ailments, died at
8:35 o'clock this morning.
In the last week the condition of the
noted Kentucky statesman took a de-
cided turn for the worse, and only his
great vitality kept him alive so long.
When the end came Mrs. James, wife
of the Kentuckian, was AT the bedside
of her husband, as was also brother
cf the senator, Edward James.
Ollie NJ. James, when he celebrated
his forty-seventh birthday on July 27
last, while i'll at Johns-Hopkins hos
pital, Baltimore, enjoyed such distinc-
tion in public life as rarely comes to
cne of that age. At that time he was
completing his first term in the United
States Senate, this term following a
service of ten years in the lower house
Of congress. Thus, from the time he
was 81 years old he had been a mem
ber Of the congress of the United
States, the greatest deliberative body
Of political character the world knows,
IS well as the most important.
Senator James, from young man
hood, was known for his natural ora
torical ability, and his penchant for
politics. His ability as an. orator,
while not being responsible for his ac-
cession to many high places, undoubt-
idly was a factor in strengthening his
lold upon such, places, and in giving
nim a nation wide reputation.

SOUTHERN Y. M. C. A.
men NOT CUTTERS

Out Of 5,739 men and 852 women IN
Y. M. C. A. overseas service up to
August Is, there have been only 54
designations. fact which speaks well
for the integrity and courage OF the
class of people who are entering this
arduous and exacting service.
On the date these statistics were
prepared, August Is, there were 2,SOO
untitled positions in Y. M. G. A. over
seas service, although there were per-
hsps ten times that many applications
for service fled in the different depart
ments in this country. This shows how
carefully selections are made for the
difficult and dangerous work overseas
by the Y. M. C. A. authorities charged
with the duty of making selections IN
this country.
Between August / and Is, fifteen
men from Georgia, Tennessee and
Florida were appointed for overseas
service out of the 421 who were ap-
pointed from all sections of the eoun-
try. This proportion is about as usual
and shows that Southern men are as
anxious and as capable for this work
as the men from any other section OF
the country. What is true Of the men
is equally true of the women, as out
Of the 797 women canteen workers
and lis business women sent abroad
by the Y. M. G. A. to have a share IN
war work, a fair proportion of them
were women Of the south.
