JOURNEY ENJOYED
AT JOSEPH MOORE

On Friday before last the whole
school marched at recess In the
morning through all the rooms TO see
their Christmas work Our grade
(the ga and 6A-B) went from our
room to the second grade which is
down at the other end Of the hall,
then across to the first grade, then
down into the basement to the kin
dergarten, then down to the other
end of the basement hall to the fifth
grade, then across to the special

More About the Toy Shop
The little house used for a toy
shop in the first grade room, | told
you about last week, is just large
enough for some of the small chill
dren to get into if they do not stand
up straight. think 1t is more than
four feet high. 1t has two stories.
Since last week it has had paper
painted like brick put over the out
side. 1t looks like a strong brick
building. 1t also has cotton on the
roof for snow, Strings dyed like
silver color are hanging from the
edge Of the roof for icicles. Santa
Clausis looking out of one Of the
upstairs windows. His face Is near
ly half as large as the window.
Their are several dolls looking out
of the windows too
A few blocks are put around the
house for a fence. There is a little
arched gateway. Inside the fence
are some sleds, rolycoasters, and a
little automobile. The rolycoasters
have bed-casters for wheels. Right
outside the fence on a table were
velvet hats with feathers and
dresses for dolls all put up on sticks
for sale. This Is the way 1t was on
the day we marched by 1t on the
last day of school.

bought and put on somebody's

hope he took the dolls along with
him too.
Second Grade Candy Boxes
In the second grade we saw a
fine lot of candy boxes on long
table in the back OF the room. The
children had fixed the boxes. They
had painted them black to hide the
printing and other things. Then

MEDALS AWARDED
FOR CAMP HONOR
AT The Y. M. c. A.


The boys of Richmond have made
the Y. M. c. A. busy place during
the holidays. They came three
hundred strong to the boys depart
ment on Wednesday. Mr.. Perry
Wilson estimates that at least 250
different boys have visited the 'Y"
this week. The building is in fes-
tive attire, with bright streamers
hanging from all the lights. Down
stairs is a maize of cheer in green
and white crepe paper.
The checker tables have been
full all week. On Wednesday there
were % checker tournaments, nine
ping-pong tournaments, and one
cuero match. All through the de-
partment rings jolly roar of fun.
II is splendid place for vacation
ing.
Big Camp Meeting.
There was big attendance at
the Camp Ki-Ro reunion. One hun
dred and fifteen boys were on the
floor. OF the 1853 boys who attend
cd the camp, 112 received the camp
emblem of merit. They were ac-
cepted with great enthusiasm. 1t
is fine thing to be called a good
camper, because camping requires
good fellowship. The emblems are
triangular made of blue felt. In the
three corners are the camp letters
in white. A white feather is thrust
through the triangle. They are very
attractive and their significance is
great.
Camp Honor Medals Awarded.
The most coveted prize of the
camp wa sthe camp honor medal.
These we're awarded at the reunion
also. On the medals were the name
and period of the winner. These
were given to the one boy of each
period who distinguished himself
as the best camper. The require
ments were moral, mental and ply
steal standards maintained through
out the period The boys who hon
ored themselves with this statement
were:
rSar,i Ahi nr,;it second P Period
Charles Weaver. ...,.. Third period
Johnson Healy ......, Fourth period
Wilmor Babylon. Fifth period
After the awarding of emblems
and medals Perry Wilson gave the
boys and guests each a real-for
sure popcorn ball. They were of
the best Wilson brand, and as
result Mr.. Perry is going around
with scorched fingers now. 1t was
another of his old-time camp treats.
Camp Leaders Dine.
Mr. Wilson took the camp lead
ers to the Kiwanis dinner on Thurs
day. DR.. Rorer of indianapolis,
was the speaker. The boys enjoy
ID their opportunity immensely.

The time has passed when the

TENNIS COURTS
NOW LIGHTED
BY ELECTRICITY
ResouroefuI Engineer Adapts
His Favorite Game to After
Dark Playing.

Several years ago, a young hlum'
mating engineer wracked his brain
to find more time for his favorite
game OF tennis. Daytime he was too
busy to get away for play. 1t oc.
cuyred to him that tennis courts
could be illuminated with electric
lamps. He has worked out court
Lighting SO successfully that now
tennis fans may play on during the
evening for as many hours as they
have energy to stay awake.
The problems which this new form
Of outdoor lighting presented were
UNIQUE. The light must cover not
only the court and the ground in the
immediate vicinity, but II must fill
the whole space through which q
ball is likely to travel while in play.
Since there are no walls or roof to
reflect the light, II Is necessary to
depend to a great extent upon direct
light. But inasmuch as the binding
effect Of the brilliant source Is great.
Iy intensified when the source is
viewed against a black background.
it becomes extremely important to
locate the units outside the normal
visual field. Furthermore the ac.
ton on a tennis court is unusually
rapid, requiring illumination that 10
steady and uniform, for otherwise
swift motion will appear jerky and
irregular. The young engineer
found that all sharp shadows could
be eliminated by supplying light from
- AA
need not worry about direct illumi-
ground, for balls which rise above
this height travel comparatively
slowly and are sufficiently illumi
mated by reflected light.
With these problems in his mind
he planned the side lighting system
for single courts. Twelve lighting
units are needed, six on each side
Of the court, located II feet apart
and feet outside the side lines OF
the court. For supports. he used
three poles on each side Of the court,
them to extend 22 feet above
the ground. This height allowed for
sag in the cable from which he sus-
pended the lighting units and brought
their light centers about Is feet
from the ground.
The most successful lamps for this
purpose are 500-watt lamps. These
should be protected from possible
breakage by stretching poultry net
over the opening OF the reflectors.
When once the installation had
been made, he found that frequent
cleaning OF the lamps and reflectors
kept the efficiency OF the system up
to its highest. ..-

LAMP POWER|S
GRADED To NEED.
IN ALL HOMES.
Forty Watt Generally Most
UsefuI-Fifteeh Used for
Closets and Halls.

Electric Editor: What Is the best
size Of electric bulb to use In ones
home? I may be mistaken. but II
seems to me that dealers recon
mend" whatever size they happen to
have In stock. l.. c. II.
Mazda lamps range in size from
fifteen watts and over. and the most
desirable naturally depend upon the
place and conditions in which the
lamps are used. AS a general thing
the forty.watt Mazda Is the most
generally useful lamp for the home.
Any reliable dealer will be glad
to give you a booklet in which the
correct sizes for different classes OF
service are listed. The following
hints may be useful:
Fifteen.watt Mazda lamps for
closets. back halls. cellar stairways.
attics and other places where low
light will suffice, also in small table
and boudoir lamps used primarily
for decorative purposes.
Twenty-five-watt Mazda lamps for
side wall brackets, for the secondary
lighting in fixtures that haye two
or more circuits, for Railways, etc.
Forty-watt Mazda lamps for gen
eral lighting and for table or floor
lamps used for reading.
Sixty.watt Mazda lamps where one
bulb must give a good deal of illu-
mination. such as a single light
fixture in kitchen or bedrooms.
A turn-down lamp. or DINNER
socket should be used in bathrooms
or wherever an all-night light is
desired.

Many people prefer their coffee

this way than when prepared by

is, OF course, a large factor in this
matter. but advocates of percoia.
ton are numerous and the savory
result they get IL certainly a strong
argument In their favor.
Electric percolators are acknowl
edged to be the most convenient Of
all coffee machines" With an
electric percolator the coffee can be
made at table and served the minute
II is brewed. Electricity gives the
unique advantage OF enabling the
designer to place the heat element
at exactly the right point, and there.

tremely efficient and economical.
Recent designs in electric perco-

mand for electric table utilities has
drawn many Of the best designers

With the result that recent offer
