ST. ANDREWS PUPIL
SUGGESTS NEW REMEDY
FOR BURCLARIES
The Flying Squad.

Many citizens Of Richmond have
been molested by holdups and
burglaries. My suggestion to rem.
edy such robberies is like they have
in larger cities. It is a unique idea
and known as 1.-THE Flying Squad"
1t really does not fly but its speed
as it passes through the streets at
night has gained for this invention
Its name.
An automobile holding several
men who have very powerful
flashlight, which Is flashed every
twelve and one-half minutes, rides
through the streets between eleven
and four O'Clock at night.
The lights can be flashed in any
direction, thus picking out suspic-
ious characters and detecting hold
ups. Wouldn't this be an mex.
pensive help to our city? Why not
try It'd. c., st. Andrews High

The smallest newspaper in the
United States is published by Miss
Alice c. Nichols of Liberal, Kansas.
She Is fifteen years old, and in
addition to doing all the reporting

THE Nichols Journal" she sets
type and makes up forms for each

has locked it up and put 1t to
bed"
The Nichols Journal was started
when Miss Alice was nine years
old. Her brothers and some of
their friends were organizing what
they called Tiny Town" and de-
clared they needed newspaper.
Alice was appointed to the job and
she wrote the first issues by hand.
Later she learned to Csc the type
writer and printed her paper with
the aid of carbons.
After Tiny Town had ceased its
corporate existence she continued

First the children come down and
rush to get a seat. Napkins are
then passed around and the chill
dren spread their lunches out.
The water is passed and they have
grace which Is said by everyone.
Then they eat and tell stories or
riddles and play games which can
be played without getting up from
the table. Then when everyone Is
done they form a line and march
to the playroom. After having
played for about five or ten min
utes in the playroom, we go to our
rooms.-Hilda M. Ashley, Joseph

HOW IT FEELS TO
PLAY IN A CONCERT

Saturday, the 18th, about one
o'clock, was putting my cello in
my case and getting music ready
and watching the cars. called
Roland Lane to know what car he
was going on.
After we got off the car at Ninth
street we went to the high school
lunch room where we found groups
of children talking and tuning. Aft
er we were tuned we went on the
stage.
When you 90 up on the stage you
feel awkward when everybody is
looking at you, nevertheless l got
up courage 10 look for my parents.
When you are playing solo and
make a mistake it seems as il the
audience knows it.
When you begin to play it seems
as If the audience is not looking at
you so much until some of the in
struments have rests and you have
to keep on playing.-Benjamin
Bentley, 6B grade, Joseph Moore.

FOR HIS DINNER

Fremont Alexander, Herbert Nor
ton and Ted Barton, Keith Monroe
and Harry Martin went hiking Sun
day morning along the Whitewa-
ter river. They were about a mile
out OF town when Fremont said to
the boys that he was so hungry
that he codld eat most anything.
They were going along the river
and Fremont asked them If they
had something good. Fremont was
so hungry he was willing TO swim
In ankle deep water to get there.
The boys across the river had
big fire and while Fremont was
drying, the boys ran across rab-
bit. The boys started chasing 1t.
Monroe was on the bank where the
rabbit could swim across. The
boys asked Monroe why he did not
pick up a rock and throw at it, he
said he could find any rocks, and
he was standing on a pile of rocks
on the bank.-By Alfred s. f.

HOW WE GET UP
TO OUR STANDARDS

We take addition and take a
test to see how much below stand,
ard we are. Then we work every
morning for fifteen or twenty min

Then we take another test to see
how much we have raised our
ability. Then we take up another
operation in arithmetic. We work
till we get up to standard, and we
always get up to standard.-Tracy

LIKES TO PLAY IN CONCERTS

When the orchestra got settled T
thought everyone was looking so l
looked up in the balcony and saw
my teacher and some other people

audience and saw my sister and
mother. When Miss Marlatt came
up to start us off on "Over the

LOSE THEIR TAILS

How do tadpoles lose their tails?
This Is the subject which is hold
ing the close interest of the pupils
In the nature study class at Starr
school.
Do they drop off? Several pupils
are sure they do and others are not
so sure. They are watching very
closely anyway-watching the six
little green brown tadpoles which
are swimming around In the two
fish bowls in the nature room. AS
a rule the tadpoles seem very good
natured and do not mind being
watched one bit. They have COM
pany, too-although the company
as a rule live very quietly-for they
are snails, six OF them. There is
one minnow, too, In one of the
bowls.
Miss Kinchell Is the teacher OF
Nature Study. and seems to be hav-
ing as much fun watching the tad
poles as have the boys and girls.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth
grades take Nature Study at Starr
mad a committee is appointed to
help keep the playground clean; to
feed the tadpoles and snails; and
to put the food on the two feeding
shelves for birds, which are in the
Nature Study room. The names OF
those on the committee for this
past week are: Marie Hunt, chair
man; Robert Funk, Ellen King and
Mary Ellen Kern.

DO YOU KNOW
BY the "Y" ScOUTMASTER

What miracle Is recorded in all
four gospels? Where given?
This question will be answered
next week.
Answer to last weeks question:
There are three letters in the word
OLD, and there are nine letters In
the word Testament. BY putting
the two numbers 3 and 8 together,
you will have 80, the number Of
books in the Old Testament, and by
multiplying the 8 by the 8, you will
have q, the number of books in the
New Testament.

Dear.
! received your letter and was
glad to hear from you. Our teach
er never told us that we were go

lights on it. We hung Christmas
bells in the hall room door. And
there were other decorations be-
sides those. We had very nice
program Friday, before school
closed for the Christmas vacation.
Our teacher read us an interesting
story, and we had very nice Or
chestra from three children from
our room. Then there was a little
girl in the third grade that danced
for us, and there were a great
many other things that were on the
program, but IL l started to tell
yOu Wouiu ACSCl SCI thouSh'
Well, after that, we went into our
room and then we were going to
have little play, so we thought 1t
would be nice to invite the fourth
grade children to come and see it.
And then about the time that play
was over 1t was time for school to
let out.
/ forgot to tell you that two or
three winters ago there was a
teacher that fell on the ice and
broke her ankle and now she can
not teach school any more. She
lives right across from the school
house and that evening after school
was out, our teacher let some Of
the children 60 over and sing for 4
her. / thought that was very nice

ton and hope you had the same.
Well, / must close for this time. |
