their teacher, so, to get even, they
quietly locked the door. Mr.. Cruncher
could not get out for the windows
were barred with heavy iron. The
only thing left for him to do was to
stay there until the next morning or
until someone camd to unlock the
door. After locking the door the boys
had gleefully gone home to their sup
pers.
About dusk it dawned on Tommy
how cold and dark it must be in the
school and he wondered if MI. Crunch
er was hungry. Tommie's mother
told him to do his home work, but
Tom couldn't get his thoughts conferred
on it. At last he decided to go over
to Ralph's and see what he was doing
Ralph seemed just as nervous and
worked up as Tommy.
Suddenly Tom said, "Ralph, let's &c
over and see if he is still there"
This suited Ralph, consequently, in
a few minutes they were at the school
door. After a whispered consultation
they decided to go up stairs very
quietly and open the door.

OPEN FORUM
Ye Styles

lC otyiSo
What, after all, is meant by that
much-used word "style?" Style is
the term applied to the mode Of dress
especially feminine dress-in vogue
at any period of time. This term has
been applied to dress, and has gone
hand-in-hand with it ever since Eve
wore the first garment, and will be APP
piled thus until every female in the
universe has exchanged her earthly
garb for heavenly raiment.
There have been many arguments
propounded in regard to the improve
ment of styles with the course OF
time. but the fact remains that they
are changing ever In truth, they are
never the same for any length OF
time. Behold, how in one century the
taste of woman ran one way, and IN
another raced in just the opposite d.
rection. For instance, compare the
huge hoop-skirts of the eighteenth
century with the hemless, hoisted
hobble of today. To sit in a hoop
skirt was trying; to sit in a hobble Is
trying-in vain. To walk in hoop
skirt was like floating on the breeze,
to walk in a hobble means to fall to
YOUR knees. To run in a hoop-sklrt
was like a barrel on wheels, to run
in a hobble makes one lift up the
heels.
A comparison of the sleeves of the
late nineteenth century with those of
today is just as ridiculous. Imagine
sleeves sticking out over the arms
like fans. Pleasant, mustn't it have
been? Four yards, no less, it seemed.
Today they are gradually diminishing,
and in formal evening dresses there
are none.
What would the girl of 1850 say
if she could see the girl of 1920? I'M
modest, no doubt. No the modern
point of view, however, deems the
twentieth century lass practical and
sensible.
At any rate, why must, and why
do, all women follow the style. Do
they want to be different? No, they
want to be alike, and at the same
time different.
Though the public may continue to
harangue woman's obedience to Dame
Fashions DEGREES, women shall con-
tinue to follow the styles set by the
leading modistes of the time.

Forest Preservation

Of the many questions that have
been brought before the public in re-
gard to the preservation of our nation
al resources there is none more i'm
portant than the preservation of our
forests. 1t is a question that should
appeal to every citizen in every state
in the union.
The people of our country fail to
put the same value upon trees as is
put upon them in other countries.
For instance, Germany, before the war
had a national law which compelled
her citizens to plant a tree for every
one that was cut down. In this way
they were always reaping benefits
from their forests and at the same
time were not diminishing them.
Trees are not only beautifiers of our
national scenery but also aid in en-
riching the soil. Then too, they pre-
vent floods and wind storms and are
valuable in pasture fields for the shade
which they afford.
The greatest enemy of the forest is
the lumberman who is heartless when
it comes to dollars and cents. 1t is
true that we must have lumber for
the building OF. homes, the making Of
furniture, and various other things,
but why cannot we adopt some system
similar tn that of Germany? We have
in our own locality stretch of noun
tain land which is being stripped of
its timber and in the course of time
will be left treeless. How much better
it would be if for every tree that is
cut down another would be planted?
1t takes many years for tree to
reach its full maturity and in the
course of few hours it may be wiped
out forever.

Taking Care of the School

Taking care of the school of Thur
mont should be privilege for US rath-
er than a duty. The boys and girls
should do their utmost to make it the
prettiest and cleanest school in Fred
erick county. The exterior of our
building is as pretty as any, so why
not make the interior the same?
| shall appeal to the boys and girls
of our school, especially in the high
school, to come together and enforce
such laws in the school that will make
it a beautiful one, school that we
would be proud of and will not be
ashamed to have our friends and visi-
tors shown through. think this
would be a good law to have in our
school and that it should be enforced
to the fullest extent by every pupil,
"He or she who is caught abusing the
school in any way will be punished
by their fellow schoolmates."
With such a law as this in force,
the throwing Of chalk and erasers,
writing upon the walls, the spilling
of ink on the floor, carving names on
desks, and laughing at curtains being
blown to pieces would soon cease. If
only these few things could be stopped
it. would be a great improvement to
the school.
Boys and girls, our parents have
worked hard and have given to US the
best that money can buy, a clean
wholesome school, that we may get
an education. Why can't we have a
cleanup campaign and let every pu-
pill cooperate with his teachers and
see lust how clean we can keep our
school? Nearly every girl and boy
between the ages of six and twenty
years spends the greater part of their
life in school. So why can't we of the
high school who have been here for a
year set good example for those OF
the grammar school.
10 w want, DdSeDdll lSetihS iloh
other schools to come to ours, to &c
thru it, and then go home and say
that the Thurmont school was the
worst kept and dirtiest school in the
county? No! we want our team tc
visit other schools and return home
and say that our school is the pref
test and cleanest one in Frederick
county.
Boys and girls, if we make clear
school out of our school and learn tt
take care of things, then the schoo
board and our parents will willingly
enlarge our school-home and we coult
have better athletics. Our school is
just what we make it. With this ap
peal the boys and girls should be will
ling to cooperate to make our home
lust what it should be.

The Little Snow Bird

There on the peach tree is poor little
bird,
A muttering storm in the distance is
heard.
The winds are strong and the clouds
are black,
The snow-hakes will soon be scattered
DER his back.
The dear little bird is so unconscious
of care,
Never minding the frozen ground and
the branches so bare.
He seems so very light-hearted and
free,
Picking the gum from the old peach
tree;
But soon there'll be ice weighing down
the light bough
On which the little bird is fitting now
And though there are feathers smooth
and warm,
Protecting the rest of his tiny form
Where, oh where, will he put his tiny
bare feet
To keep them warm mid snow ano
sleet?
Oh know what he will do with those
delicate things.
He will warm them under his feath
cry wings.

nroyides that the railroads shall clear
these safety strips 100 feet on each
side of the steam railroad lines where
the Forestry Board considers that a

The procedure will require the rail-
road company first to notify the prop
erty owner in writing that permission
is desired to clear the safety lane,
and thereafter by publishing the no.
tice at least once in two county pa
pers. If the owner does not file OBJ

BILL TO KEEP LAND CLEAR
ALONG MARYLAND RAILWAY!

State Forester F. w. Besley has
prepared bill which he will have sub
mitted to the Legislature which will
compel property owners either to al
low the railroads to clear or burn
safety strips along all steam railroad
lines in the State or do it themselves.
This law complies with ideas ex-
pressed at general meeting of rail-
road officials with the State Forester
and Governor Richie several months
ago, and puts teeth into the plan
which was followed this season and
which, it is claimed, has saved thous-
ands of dollars.
The railroad companies followed
the suggestions made at the meeting
the past fall, but they encountered
difficulties along their lines with
farmers.

Now they were in the school, but 1t
didn't seem like school for it was dark
and still. The boys were both scared.
Don't tramp so hard on the steps"
whispered Ralph to Tommy. Hell
hear US coming. The steps creak aw-
full"
"He's up there, hear him walking
around. Tom, you go up first
ooh, 90 on, you're 'fraid," said Tom
T'm not afraid. You're the one
that's 'fraid," rejoined Ralph.
The boys had been fussing a little
too loud, for Mr.. Cruncher had heard
them and was right ready to grab the
hand that turned the key. Mr.. Crunch
er was not a man who forgave easily;
therefore, he was determined to pun
ish the culprits for locking the door
After much talk Tom went up the
steps first. He quickly unlocked the
door and was just ready to run wher
a heavy hand detained him. AS ne
turned and saw Mr. Cruncher with
very angry look on his face, he left
a shrek of fright.
Ralph, hearing the shrek, leapec
down the stairs and out of the schoo
as fast as his legs would carry him
leaving Tom to the mercy of Mr.
Cruncher.
"Oh, please, Mr.. Cruncher, DOM
hurt me. / didn't do it all by myself
Tommy Ryan, what does this
mean" said Mr.. Cruncher sternly.
Tommy was silent, for he really ha'
no good excuse. All he could say was
Somebody else did it too"
"Well, you go home now, but to-
morrow the punishment that you de
serve will be given you and whoever
helped you to do this mean trick"
Mr.. Cluncher and Tommy went
home and the next day Tommy ant
Ralph were mighty sorry for what
they had done.

Athletics

Winter is here, stormy, cold and drear
And although Athletics may seem
sleeping,
They'll be awake in the spring
Never fear.
The usual season for athletics is
over, and the weather is very cold,
consequently many may think Athlet-
les have been abandoned until warm
weather. However, they have not.
Twice a week, after school hours, the
boys and girls assemble in the audi
forum for short period to practice
Volley Ball. This is to keep the team
which consists of girls, however, in
practice for the coming season.
The team, we all know, won the
championship of Frederick County.
We want them to keep it for T. H. s..
in 1922 and we know they will.

that consent is given.
If he does file objections the board
shall declare that the owner is main
tanning a public nuisance and shall
require him to clear the prescribed
strip. A fine of $50 for each acre Of
the strip will be provided as the pen
atty for failure to comply with the
law.
The proposed legislation also re-
quires that tree tops left over in cut
ting timber along railroad lines and
other forms of brush shall be moved
back at least 100 feet from the rail-
road tracks.

If you had such worries
Now what would you do?

You didu't know.

And not make a mess?
