A DUTCH LULLABY
nv EUGENE FIELD

By EUGENE FIELD Wynken, Blynken and Nod one nigh Sailed off in a wooden shoe Sailed on river of misty light Into a sea of dew. '"Where are you going and what do
 you wish?" The old moon asked the three eve have come to fish for the her
 ring fish That live in this beautiful sea; Nets of silver and gold have we" Said Wynken,
 Blynken And Nod The old moon laughed and sung A
 song
 As they rocked in the wooden shos And the wind that sped them all
 night long Ruffled the waves of dew; The little stars were tho herring fish That lived in the beautiful sea; ''Now cast your nets wherever you
 wish,
 But never afeard are We"
 So cried the stars to the fisher
 men three, WynSen, Blynken And Nod. All night long their nets they threw For tho fish in the twinkiing
 foam, Then down from the sky came the
 wooden shoe Bringing the fishermen homo. Twas all so pretty 8 sail it seemed As if 1t could not be; And soma folks thought twas a
 dream they'd dreamed
 Of sailing that beautiful sea- But I shall name you the fisher e men three, Wynken,
 Blynken
 And Nod. wynken and Blynken are two little
 eyes
 And Nod is little head, And the wooden shoe that sailed the
 skies
 Was a wee one's trundle bedG So shut your eyes while mother sings Of the wonderful sights that be- And you shall sec the beautiful
 things
 As you rock in the misty sea Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three Wynken, Blyken
 And Nod.

GREATER BIRMINGHAM

In 1871 Birmingham was a small town like some of the small towns of today.
 In 1873 cholera broke out and caused many people to move away. Soon the people began to move back and have built it up to what it is to- day. It had one theatre called the O'Brien, which was on First avenue.
 In 1910 1t took in what is now called East Lake and later became Greater Birmingham.
 Because of it's rapid growth, from the time of it's founding in 1871 to a city of immense population and wealth in 1918, it was called the Magic City" The rapid growth is shown by the United States census.
 Because of the importance of it's iron industries it has been called the 'F'Pfttsburg of the South" Immense rolling mills. iron furnaces, and steel plants are found inside of the city and fin small places neraby. Ensley and Fairfield have large plants for turning out finished iron and steel products
 As a railroad center Birmingham ranks first among the cities of the state, and it is one of the most im- portant of the south. The 12 railroads running into two large terminal sta tions furnish transportation for manufactured and commercial prod ucts to all states of this section.
 The education of Birmingham coA- sists of a system of public schools that has grown to keep up with the marvellous growth of the city In other respects. Many private schools are To- cated here.
 Howard college, supported by the Baptists of the state for the higher education of young men and young women has beautiful location at East Lake.
 Birmingham-S Southern college, a similar institution, is supported by the Methodists of Alabama and is sit uated at Owenton.
 They are also building a new high school at Woodlawn. The county high school is located at Boyles.
 Among other public buildings which beautify and serve the city may be mentioned it's well appointed libra ries. it's handsome churcheSFits tow hotels. E. B. ARMEL,

AIRMEN sTupY nIRDs
} Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 New light Is to be. thrown on a fascinating but little-known subject the height birds attain in flight. and more especially the attitudes at which they fly while migrating.
 Pilots of commercial airplanes are to be asked to observe bird-flight on a precise and organized scale.
 Air-express pilots say they rarely see a bird above a height of about 5000 feet, but recently when at 12. ; 900 feet one pilot saw a couple of birds several thousand feet higher than he was. He believes they were eagles.
 At to the height attained by birds when on migration, a theory has been held that the birds reach sometimes an elevation of 10000 feet, but more recent opinion suggests an average of about 5000 feet.
 Pilots will also report on the speed of birds. Swifts, the fastest birds. have already been known to overtake an airplane flight. Their speed has been calculated to exceed 100 miles an hour sometimes. There is one cu- rious instance, already recorded, of a 'lammergier. a bird of prey. which was pursued deliberately by an air. plane pilot and which in nose diving" to escape. attained & pace of no miles an hour.

HOW SPENT ONE FRIDAY
 AETERN00N

One Friday afternoon after school I went down in the country to spend the weekend. When l got there the girl I was visiting said:
 Let's get crowd and go rowing" (She lived on the river)
 said:
 T would love to go."
 So she went out and got one girl and three boys. We rowed away up the river and 1t was dark before we got back. We told each other good night and said we would meet in the morning The girl I was visiting said she had a surprise for us.
 The next morning we all met and went on hike and when we arrived at the place where we were going to eat our lunch there was a nice little spring. Then we ate lunch. After lunch our hostess said she had another surprise for Us. She led us to a nice shady pool. There we went in swimming That ended a glorious week end.

 Aunt Ann wants all of her boys and girls to take a good look at this picture and remember it all their lives.
 It looks like a funny picture, ~~ 1t isn't. It's an extremely sad one. This boy wants a job, but he quit school too early to qualify as an ed ucated applicant.
 Very often you hear boys and girls say: T don't want to go to school. don't like to go to school I've g3t though education to get along"
 Maybe you've heard someone say hat yourself. Well, you can put it iown that the less education you E ct the less you go to school. the more humble position you will be com pelled to accept in life.
 World Needs Them | A man or woman with good edu- cation is always in demand. Even when jobs are scarce, the girl or b. V who knows the most will be picked from all others.
 If you find it hard to go to school you will find it much harder to be without education when you grow up.
 Education makes a boy or girl in- -ependent ignorance makes them helpless. Take all the education you can get, improve your time and try to learn as much as you possibly cal. You will never know too much. Be assured of that. In later life you wi. find yourself always wishing yoG knew so much more.

CHRISTMAS

Upon the shining Christmas tree Are every kind of toys, The ribbons and the dolls for girls, The guns and things for boys. The holly wreaths upon the wall And mistletoe galore, And the women all around the house, Their larders deep explore. They cook the turkey on the stove, The salad they do make, And grandma, when she comes along, Bakes one grand Christmas cake. The tree! Oh, Oh, the pretty tree Is beautiful to see, And when the children look at it Their voices ring with glee. And when they all their presents have, We then kneel down to pray, And mother thanks the great, great God For such a Christmas day. And when we finish eating, The Christmas carols ring, And cen the little sparrows Their happy songs do sing So on the great and joyous day When was born our Savior dear, We all should give our Christmas gifts And fill the world with cheer.

 Birmingham, Route ', Box 121. Dear Aunt Ann:
 am going to write you a story about fairy and Susan, so here I go;
 Once upon time there was a lit- tie girl named Susan. One Thanks giving Day she had company. After dinner she had all of the dishes to wash. The other children tried to get her to come on and play, but she wouldn't do it. When she started washing the dishes she said. q wish l had somebody to wash the dishes" Then she heard voice, saying, "Sit down, Susan." BUt she wouldn't 1 Then it said again, "Sit down." but she would not. Then she saw a fairy. She sat down then and the fairy waved her magic wand and the dishes began washing themselves and drying themselves. and then to fly through the air into the safe. When it was all done, she disap- peared. Then she went out to play. The other children asked her how she washed the dishes so quickly. She told them how the fairy helped her.
 Now if you don't believe this story, you do something real good and maybe fairy will help you.
 Your unknown friend,
 LANE CANFIELD. l P. S-I read the children's page every Saturday and enjoy it very much. I can hardly wait till Satur- day comes so I can see if my story ] is published. I am going to write some more stories sometime. | IA.
