This Boy Thinks He Can Stop
Otto's Auto; What About You?

The question before the squirrel
food class Is "Who can stop Otto's
auto ?" Now, pupils, think hard; it
is a difficult question. Anyone solv-
ing it will have this summer off from
school for a vacation from the end
of June until the sixth or seventh of
September.
Irving Weisberger, of 1872 Smith
street, a youth of about twelve years
old. has spent many a thoughtful
hour on this question. He stated
that he has figured, experimental
and has decided that Otto cannot
possibly "get by" with his funny
stunts when o~bstructed with his
plans. Irving believes that If Otto
is confronted with a large American
flag placed the entire width of the
road on poles, situated just oil the
edge of the street, that Otto will have
to stop and be placed in danger of
becoming squirrel food himself.
The flag must be- placed close to the
ground SO that Otto by no chance
can slide underneath 1t or dig his
way under and high enough so that
he also cannot jump or fly over 1t.
Just how he will get by is not
known yet, Irving. and it win take
the master mind of Gene Ahearn, the
c~artoonist, to worry out the answer.
Watch the squirrel food column
closely; maybe one of these days
Gene will have deeiphered your diff
cult riddle.

Peter started to object then remem-

his mothers side.

to come in and see her new dress.
II won't be gone but a minute,
Peter" said mama and you wait right
here by the gate in the shade"
So Peter waited-a while, then he
peered In at the window and mama
and Mrs. White were talking as II
they would never stop. SO he decided
to explore a little. He wandered
around the house and finding nothing
OF interest there on into the alley. He
heard some yelling IN the next street

wall into the yard across the alley just
In time to ave himself.
A kind looking old lady was tying

"swhy, bless my SOUL" .she said, IF

I'VE was a coming to see you Miss
Lizzie and mama stopped at Mrs.
Whites and I waited and waited
and walked around a little bit and a
big dog chased me and I tore my
pants and here I am"
Miss Lizzie took Peter in the house
and fed him on sugar cookies while
she mended the hole in the trousers,
then Peter sped up the back way and
came around the house just as mama
came out of the door.
when they arrived at Miss Lizzie's

Boy Stories by Dan Beard

Tom was greatly embarrassed and
he was angry clean through when
the oar slipped causing him to fall
into the bottom of the boat. The
shrieks of laughter from his COM
panions only angered him the more.
But Tom was no gutter and the
teasing of Pickles and Chuck made
him the more determined to learn to
row. So he paid strict attention to
Squinty's instructions.

to Illustrate these points and the boat
forged ahead.
Nov here's another thing you
want to get onto, Tom" he contin-
ued, when you lift the oars out of
the water at the end of the stroke,
the edges of the blades will be up
and down. If you bring the oars
back for another stroke in that posi-
ton, it will be hard work because
the blades will be pushing against

wrists; that will turn the bars SO

Gee! that's a new n on me-"
exclaimed Pickles, for he and Chuck
were paying strict attention to the
lesson. 1T counts a whole lot in
your speed and makes the work
easier: it's called 'feathering.' "
Souinty answered. He went on with
the lesson. ''If you want to turn the
