Is in course of erection in Washington.
AS you doubtless know, the structure
IL intended to be Il worthy national me-

represent a compliance with the wish of
General Washington that great edu-
cational establishment should be pro-
vided here.
These two purposes have been united
IN the plans for the memorial build
ing. in whose erection it is aimed to
have all the States participate. The
great auditorium, designed MS meeting
place for national and international
gatherings, will have its ceiling studded
with gold and blue stars; n blue star
for every survivor who served in the
war. a gold one for each who gave his
life in the service; with the initials Of
every man marking his own star. Thus
will be produced a true service flag Of
the Nation, with its millions of stars :;
and that it may be given the character
Of truly national memorial. 1t is
wished that each State should provide
for the stars for It's own men, in addi-
ton to any other participation it may
choose to assume.

uELTBR, skelter, down the hill
II rushed the two hungry wolves
seeking Jack and Janet The children,
crouched behind the sheltering rocks,
put on their coats and wondered what
to do.
They had to make up their minds in
a hurry, for the two wolves might come
searching back up the hill. Worse than
that, the wolf pack was drawing near
Perhaps the keen noses Of the wolves
already had scented them.
II the children stayed where they
were they would be caught in another
minute. II they tried to run, the swift
footed pack would quickly run them
down. How could they escape?
I'VE must slide," whispered Jack.
I'VE must slide down the hill on our
sleds."
'But the two awful wolves are wait
ing there - shuddered Janet. ..
Maybe I can steer around them,'
whispered Jack.
He lay on the front sled, and Janet
sprawled on the second one. Jack gave
shove with his foot and away they
sid.
They were not an instant too soon.
AS they gained speed the wolf pack
caught sight Of them and broke into its
hunting cry. The swiftest Of the wolves
dashed at them, caught up with them,
snapped at them. Janet kicked the
nearest wolf In the snout. il tried to
jump back, slipped. and went down,
with the other wolves sprawiing over
1t. BY the time the wolves picked
themselves UP the sleds were going 50

But down below were the two wolves
that had drawn, the sleds up the hill.
Jack saw he couldn't steer the slcds
around the wolves. If he did 30 he
might bang into tree. And If he did
that the wolves would have them In n
jiffy.
So Jack did n caring thing-hc
stcerel straight at the wolves. The
beasts were astonished. TO late they
saw what he was going TO do. They
tried 70 jump aside. Jack held the
sleds straight for them, and ducked
Bump! wham. The sled hit the
legs of the first wolf. knocking him
somcrsaulting in the air. Bump.
Wham! The sled sent the second wolf
flying head over heels into ripping
thorn tree.
Whizzety! Whoppety! The sleds
sped down the hill, faster, faster, fast
or. Suddenly they were in the yard
around the bungalows. They hit n
snow bank there. Over went the sedS
and Jack and Janet went flying off.
In some strange way Jack flew into
his own bed, all undrcssed again, And
Janet flew into her own bed.
Outside on the hi; the wolves
howled. Inside the bungalows Toddic

and Janet buried their heads under the
covers. They were glad they were safe
and snug in the safest and snuggcst
place on cdrth-thcir own beds at
