when grown people read this page they must be careful to apply the phil osophy found in John Kendrick Bangs little poem that goes l met a little elf-man once
 Down where the lilies blow. asked him why he was so small
 And why he didn't grow. He slightly frowned, and with his eye
 He looked me thru and thru: m quit as big for me-" said he,

We are holding back a few good Indian themes to see if we receive more work that has to do with Indians. If the Young Writers will help, we may be able in the future to ,have an Indian page"
 Do you know the Indians who have become famous? Do you know of the various tribes in our own state, their habits, religion, etc? You will remem- Der that a theme on the Yaqui Indians has already been published by a stu dent from Chandler.

 o silent, still. unbending land. What stories and myths like wonder
 land, Are yet untold in feeble lore Of all that's yet pent up in store $. Down deep in your lonely sands? Or whispered from chaparral which
 stands Out bleak and bare against the back
 grounds Of the great majestic mounds Towering. stark and grim. above the
 plains? Is it some story of the many caravans Which crossed your bleak and lonely
 sands And died so desperately in little bands Tn search of health, wealth and gold And for numerous things untold? But I will not have you yield from
 your hands The secrets that have been yours so
 long, For perhaps therein may lie your
 charms For future men to wonder and behold.

large department store for a very long time, when a young lady came in and picked me out and. gave man some money. I was very glad to leave the all sorts of disagreeable, common cot ton umbrellas, which is not pleasant when one is of genuine silk.
 The lady took me outdoors into the rain which I did not enjoy wery much as I was terribly afraid my silk dress would be ruined
 When We arrived at the young wem- ans home I was set behind door and there I stayed for several days till q small girl took me out in the rain again. I wondered why they selected rainy days to take me for walk.
 The wind began to blow and the lit tie girl let go of me and I ascended rapidly in the air. Up. up. I flew until a kind telephone wire caught me and saved me from flying higher.
 My poor silk dress is torn and turned up the wroug way and I am still up on the telephone wire where suppose I will end my days.

 A SPRING DAY
 It was but an hour since the sun had risen in glory above the stately mountains, whose tops rose far up
 
 on the snow covered peaks and made them glisten as if they were crowned with diamonds. The balmy air was laden with the perfume of the earliest blossoms. The trees and plants, awak- ening from their long winter sleep, were sending out green leaves and buds in response to the warm sun shine. Grass was peeping above the ground in most of the fields round about. The birds seemed to sing a moro lively melody as if they, too, knew spring had come and had a hearty welcome for it.
 MABEL MOODY,

 Thatcher, Ariz. Though for untold years spring has returned, no one thinks of it as the same old story, but as something ever new and inspiring.
 This message has been the first to- come from the Gila academy. As am sure the young writers would like to know more about this school. why does not some student in the academy write a composition about it?
 A SPRING SHOWER
 When showers are falling, the world seemed busy" said poet. Indeed, what a happy idea!
 It is showery, rainy by fits and starts. I am in despair about the cadet Uniform yet to be dried which I had washed the night before. I think Ma ture herself grows restless at the ap- proach of spring.
 The sun shines iimly, enveloped in q misty veil; the mountains look hazy the bare trees damp, and air is dull and heavy 'It is a precious spring shower" you may call it. But, ah! there is still loneliness as well.

And the sun sinks down in glory be- hind hills of violet hue, Where the palms and tall mesquite trees and the sturdy cacti grow There's where my heart turns always, and my thoughts forever go. Back to my Arizona, where the desert stretches wide Back to my tall blue mountains. where the shadows play and hide Back to tfie old Grand Canyon, with it's valleys sloping steep. And the silvery Colorado in its river bed so deep.

 I began the day by sleeping late which caused me to have a terrible headache I dressed without putting on my shoes and stockings and went downstairs. Much to my disappoint- ment I had to get my own breakfast.
 Then my rnisfortunes began. I went out doors, and not being used to going barefoot. a. once cut my foot on a piece of glass mother had careless'y thrown out in the back yard.
 I was still determined to have a good time. Near my home lived a family of children with whom mother did not want me to play because they were so rough in their games. I went there, but after we had played awhile they pushed and slapped me and final ly sicked their dog on me, until l at last ran home frightened and crying to tell mother. She would not sym pathize with me, but laughed and said that I would know better next time My next foolish action was Ito draw all the money out of my little savings bank and start toward the candy shop But on the way, I lost 1t through d crack in the sidewalk.
 When evening came after all these sad experiences I decided that mother knew best and resolved that I would never ask to do just as pleased again. because I had such a miserable time.

A SUDDEN sIaRII

It was a day in June. The cherries were ripe and I was going to gather some that afternoon.
 Don't be gone long" said mother. because I am sure it will rain before night
 Why mother, there is not cloud in sight You are foolish to think it will rain this evening""
 You surely have not forgotten the storm we had last summer, when MT. mother.
 I remembered the occasion. The sky had been very clear, but within a short time the black clouds had risen in the west and the rain accompanied by large hailstones, fell in torrents.
 Nevertheless, after promising to hurry back, took a basket on my arm, and started to gather cherries. We lived about a half mile from the grove. It was in the bottom of a deep canyon surrounded on all sides, excepting the north, by wall of rock from seventy five to hundred feet high.
 There was only one path leading to this grove, and it was very rugged and rough. After crawling under the thick underbrush which grew along the path, I came to red sand bank. It was not long before I was down it, for it was so steep I slid down very quickly, all though ascending would not be so easy. l 1dn dONh d lOilS SlScp SiOpe anu came to the slide rock which walled in the grove It was not very much fun to slide down this rock, and it would almost take a cliff dweller to climb it
 When got to the cherry grove I was not long filling my basket with the de- iicious fruit, which looked almost black it was so ripe. gathered flowers along the shady banks of the brook and sat down on the soft velvety moss by the trunk of a large tree and made wreaths of the flowers. The dense foliage of the trees completely hid the suns bright rays. The squirrels jumped from tree to tree, watching me, and finally getting brave would come down and eat the cherries which I threw at them. I counted many different kinds of birds singing in the tree tops.
 Suddenly a bright flash of lightning and a loud crash of thunder startled me. I grabbed my basket and ran to could see the sky. The heavy dark clouds were gathering overhead. There was a continual flashing of lightning and growing of thunder.
 I ran up the path as quickly as pos sibIe. I had spilled my cherries and was out of breath, so I stopped just a moment before climbing the rock There was a constant roaring which I knew to be hail falling After about 10 minutes of hard climbing I had almost reached the top of the rock when bright flash of lightning scared me and slid back down. What could I do? could not get back home before the rain and it was impossible for me to climb the rock and sandbank before the storm began. The lightning was strik- ing all around me and the loud thunder echoing through the canyon
 Just as the big raindrops began to fall wakened- For in truth it had all been dream.

and Pointed Edge Of the Bodice
er dreSsmakers are less creative than
of yore or whether the styles Of the
past two years have pleased women
abandon them.
1t must be said that In the near
past designers attempted new and
wider silhouettes. but these did not
find any permanent favor. There are
always a few women looking for novel
ties, and these were the only ones TO
whom the fantastic features Of the
hip-extended frocks appealed. The
Parisienne absolutely refused to adopt
them. French women have worn too
many good clothes and are too fond Of
their personal appearance to accept
anything fantastic or bizarre.
The majority of our styles Ire
launched in Paris, but there have been
several points in dress on which the
American woman and the Parisienne
have disagreed On the silhouette,
however, they are absolutely Of one
mind. 1t Is a tribute TO the good
taste of women that they continue
to hold TO the simple, beautiful one
piece frock, refusing TO go contrary TO
the principles of good taste and re-
finement in dress. So out of all the
models with astonishing hip extern
sions, unusual girdling. loops and
draperies the we'll dressed woman has
continued TO hold 10 the straightline
frock and the natural silhouette.
