"Well, we like to 60 very much,
said Jack and Jane together.
So it was decided that they would
stop at Athens again just long
enough to get their clothes from
the hotel and then go to Turkey.
"Of course, the first place well
visit will be Constantinople," said
Ladydear. That's very big word
for little folks, but if you say il
slowly you can pronounce it. 1t is
really Con-stan-ti-nople"
Where is it," asked Jane.
Its not so very far from Athens
as the airplane flies" said Lady
dear. The capital itself is in
Europe, although most of Turkey
is in another continent, Asia.
Then Captain Brave brought out
one of his many charts and pointed
out to Jack and Jane just where
Constantinople, the boundaries of
Turkey were and where the child.
rem would leave Europe and cross
into Asia during their trip into the
land of the Turks.
when we are in Constantinople
we can 90 down to the waters
edge and see across into ASIA" said
Ladydear. "You can almost call
across the narrow stretch of
water"
"Please tell US more about Con-
stantinople and the rest of Turkey"
pleased Jack and Jane. So while
Captain Brave steered the airplane
and listened, too Ladydear told
the children many interesting facts
and stories about the land and its
people. But I'm afraid you'll have
to wait until next week to hear her
stories.

The Flowers in
Our Schoolroom

We have several different kinds
of flowers in our school room.
They are crOcuses, hyacinths,
paper narcissus, King Alfred daffo-
dill, and also an English primrose
One pot of the crocuses is in bloom
all of which is yellow. There is
another pot of crocuses not in
bloom yet. The hyacinths are
white. The teacher had three but
she gave two away to sick people.
The paper narcissus have beautiful
white blooms and the sweet smell
fills the room. The King Alfred
daffodis are about six inches
high but not yet in bloom. The
English Primrose has very small
green leaves. 1t has lots of lovely
buds on it. The plants are grow
ing very nice and we all like to
take care of them.

per hundred; then for every hun
dred dollars worth OF property a
man has he will pay two dollars.
This is the general property tax.
"The government also collects an
income tax. Instead of sending
out assessors. the government
simply sends out forms to be filled
out by each person. These forms
when properly filled out show the
amount of income each person has
and the government can then levy
upon each income according to a
fixed rate.
There are other taxes but these
are the most important"

THE PARADE

One fine June day, four children.
Tom, Frank, Anna and Baby Betty
were working out in their gardens.
When Tom looked up and said, Il
hear a noise!"
Now there happened to be wall
around the back yard. And a lad
der was leaning against it. Tom
said, Let us. climb this ladder and
see what it is" So Tom and
Frank climbed up the ladder. But
Anna and Baby Betty went into
the house and told their mother
And their mother said, 81 will
take you out to see the parade"
So they got out and saw the
parade and after it was over they
came back to the house and ate
dinner. The End. Frances M.

HOME MADE PICTURE FRAMES

AS winter begins to 60, you think
of the fun you had out of doors
last year. You have a whole box
of photographs of country walks
and friends who took tramps with
you. Why not frame these pic
lures yourself?
Box Cover Frames
The stiff cover of note paper
box makes good frame. Lay the
picture inside it, draw around it,
and cut on this line with a sharp
pen knife. Cover the cardboard
frame with silk in soft green or
brown if it is an outdoor photo
graph, stretching the silk smoothly
and tightly, and gluing the edges
to the inside of the box cover.
Mount the picture on light weight
cardboard and paste it inside the
frame.
Raffia Framing.
A bunch of raffia in green or
scarlet makes the foundation for
number of attractive frames. Dam
pan the raffia in lukeworm water
and dry it slightly between towels,

wide braids, flattening them be-
tween heavy weights as you finish
them. Cut a backing for the pic
ture frame of cardboard, and glue
the braided raffia to this, turning
square corners, and using long
braided strands so that there will
not be joining to show.
Paste the picture to the back of
the frame and hang it by a length

Your Best Friends Picture
You want her picture on your
Bureau, and in the prettiest frame
of all. A circular frame is always
best for this. Using a small saucer
for pattern. draw circle on
piece of cardboard. Inside this
draw smaller circle, one of them
with the round hole in the centre.
Glue lining of cotton batting to
the latter. and cover this with pink
or blue silk, caught on the wrong
side. Cover the other circle with
silk also, as this is the back of the
frame. Oversew the two togeth-

are called fees 1t also collects
money from fines 1t leyies upon
people who break the laws.
"But by far the greatest amount
comes from taxes. The taxes are

Is let off more easily. Sometimes
this policy does not work out in
practice but 1t Is the aim of the
government.
For this reason the government
usually levies takes according to
the income or property of the cui-
zen. To get at the property. asses
ors are sent out. Each one finds
out the amount of property owned
by each person in his district. A
tax rate Is then fixed. From the
assessors reports the amount each
person owes in taxes is figured.

When the airplane carrying Jack

Brave reached Mount Olympus. said
to have been the home of the Greek
gods and goddesses, Captain Brave
guided the airplane back and forth
through the huge banks of clouds
about the hill.
Jack, and Jane watched the clouds
for SOME time and then Jack said:
II don't see how anybody could
move them around like the gods
and goddesses. were supposed to.
There's nothing to take hold of"
Captain Brave and Ladydea r
laughed heartily and then Captain
Brave said: Maybe they tied the
clouds to an airplane."
"But the stories about the gods
and goddesses are very pretty, so l
idon't care II they do sound funny"
said Jane.
After while Captain Brave land
led the little folks and their friends
at Mount Olympus and they spent
two or three hours wandering about
the hill. visiting monuments and
relics on the mound, representing
the deeds of the Jupiter and his
companions. Then all climbed into
the plane again and started back
toward Athens.
How would you little folks like
to go to Turkey next?" asked Cap
tain Brave as the plane sailed away
from the mountain.
And see all the funny looking
people with sheets wrapped around
their heads?" queried Jack.
