Going Some for
Flapjacks

Jimmie Lewia and his com
panions on their hunting trip,
recently. passed one night with
an old hunter by the name OF
Ike Marvel. Ike cooked some
fapjacks, the full size Of the
frying pan He thought to show
of In the way he turned them
Just shook the pan little,
tossed them up In the air, let
them turn over once, and caught
them In the pan when they
came down. Jimmie did not
say much, but. when he got a
chance, took hold OF the pan,
shook the fiapjack loose, then
threw it up the chimney and
stuck the pan out of the door to
catch 1t when 1t came down. He
probably could not tell how
many times it turned over, In
transit, but 1t landed on the
other side, Just as he wanted 1t
to. Old Ike pretended not to
like the up-the chimney way of
turning flapjacks, said 1t would
cool them off too much, but
Jimmie took the wind out of his
sails by showing him, after the
flapjack was cooked, a bird
which he had caught In the air
and brought down into the pan.
The combination might be call
ed Quail on Toast" Ike
could not get ahead of this, by
actual performance, but told a
story which beat Jimmies
straightforward "all hollow.
Continued next week.

SHOWS DESIGN FOR ~.
 KATE MORSE TABLET

The design for the memorial tablet to be erected for Miss Kate Morse. one of the former directors of the Norwich Art school was shown on Monday evening at the annual meet ing of the Norwich Art Students as- sociation at Slater hall The design is the work of Miss Mabel Webb and Miss Faith Leavens, two former pupils of Miss Morse, and is to be executed in bronze and is to be placed in the Slater Memorial building when com pleted. A New York firm is now at work on the tablet.
 In order to insure adequare comple- tion of the work it was voted to allow the committee to draw upon the gen eral treasury to the amount of $100 if necessary. It is hoped however that more subscriptions may be received from friends of Miss Morse and that the work will be shared by her friends outside the Art association.
 The following officers were elected: President Mrs. William B. Birge vice president, Miss Nancy Lucas: secre- tary, Miss Ina Ufford; assistant secre- tary, Miss Amanda Fisher; treasurer, Miss Mary Lucas; house committee chairman, Mrs. E. B. Davis: press committee chairman, Mrs. W. Tyler
 Browne; program committee chairman, Miss Helen Marshall; admission com mittee chairman, Mrs. Ozias Dodge. Frank Hampstead was reelected au- ditor
 For the winter work it was decided to hold regular meetings as far as possible with g simple program of l reading, having the members bring their ow1i Red Cross sewing or knit ting. Miss Richards asked the mem l bers to come on other Monday even- ings to the Red Cross rooms, if possi- ible.
 It was also proposed to secure one l speaker for Q large public lecture at Slater hall. the proceeds to go towards
 war relief work.
 As the work Tor school children in ! the Slater museum was uncertain. it ! was suggested that the 1oeent work 1 Of the association might be carried out on similar lines for the soldiers and sailors. A committee was ap- i pointed to plan work of this kind. for 1 taking parties through the museum on Sunday afternoons during the warmer 1 months.

 German aviators sail over us daily, flying very high. We keep well out of sight when they are near, for a group of men always draws their fire. The other day Hun plane passed over flying low.
