Two tugs undertook this task and with a long, steady pull the monster gradually yielded and inch by inch moved towards the mouth of the harbor. The seananship in getting her. through the harbor mouth was marvellous, as there was only a 5-foot clearance-i.e., 2 feet 6 inches Jt each s.de and yet so carefully was the whole thing carried out that not even a pile was scratched. Loud cheers were raised and syrens were tilown as the ship passed the gates of the harbot.
 Once out in the roadstead two more tugs assisted in the propulsion of the great craft. while two more took Mp their position astern as "controls- It may be stated now that the orig inal intention was to build sixteen of these concrete ships and to sink them in position across the Straits of Do- ! yer in order to fasten submarine nets to them, and thus protect the channel from submarines.

Dear Uncle Jed: Last month the 18th at school We had a Halloween party We all took our costumes. I carried a bag to wear, d black mask, with beard and a mustache of white wool. Then l pasted a. piece of black wool on a piece of paper to cover my head. ] was to look like a sheep. At half past two We all went out and dressed. The teacher. Miss Caffery decorated the in side of the. school house, lighted the jack olanterns, hung apples on strings, put aEs- pies in tubs and lid peanuts.
 Other children looked like ghosts Al fred had a tall straw hat with orange crepe paper around it. He had on 2 long bla1x coat with an old whist broom in his hand. He represented a witch An old woman came in with a stick fol knife.
 We hunted for peanuts and ate them bobbed after apples, tried to bite those or strings, had apple and, peanut races Alfred had a witch to hang up on thu wall. There was white pumpkin or the end of a broom. We pinned blacl pumpkins on top of the white one.
 We had peanuts apples, cake, cookie and pop corn to eat We had our pic lures taken and a good time. At the end Miss Caffery told us a ghost story I hope all Wide-Awakes had as mucl fun as I did Hallowe' en-. I like to play Indians. Will any Wid Awake who likes to play Indians writ to me and tell me how he plays? FRANCIS HOPKINS, Age IL Central Village.

Our Haliowe,en Party.

Dear Uncle Jed: First we drew some witches in baskets. On the back of the paper we put some ones address and sent lit to them to invite them to tho Halloween party. Each boy did this. Then those the boys invited bring some cake, pies. or bananas; but if they don't feel like it they don't have to. When l was going to my school party q woman gave us each a pumpkin. At school I made a Jacl1-o'-lantern out of mine The other boys broke theirs but did not We went looking for leaves and we put them around the dindows. When Friday came we had the party. All those the boys invited came. My sister had to tell a story to the older people. Then the teacher drew some pumpkins without any nose, eyes or mouth, and we boys had to draw them in without looking on. A boy named James did the best, and he won the prize. Another game we had was an apple tied with a string and some one held the string and We tried to bite 1t.
 The one biting it vas to get prize The boys tried in vain. Afterward the teacher said let the older people try but it was in vain for them, After a minute a boy named Gildo bit the ap- pie and he had a prize. Another game we played was an apple relay race. Aft CT we were through we ate some cake the people brought. Then we went home That is all have to tell you
