How Mary Was Frightened

Once upon a time, there was a
little girl, whose name was Mary.
She lived in a little house beside a
woods. 1t was near Halloween, so
Mary thought she would mask and
go out.
When the night came, she was
dressed like an old woman. AS she
came to the middle of the woods,
she saw ghosts, witches and many
other things.
1t was a Halloween party, with
children masked. But Mary did
not know this; she thought they
were real ghosts and witches. She
stood there for long time.
Finally, they saw her standing
there, and they all ran towards
her. They took hold of her and
dragged her into their circle. They
took off her false-face. and then
they laughed. They all took off
their masks and Mary saw her
playmates. = Dorothea Bode, re-
porter for st. Johns school.

Fret Grade Learning Numbers
The First grade have large num-
bers along the top of the black
board. They use these In trying to
form numbers correctly by copying
them.
Regular Spelling Climbers
The first grade also have a house
drawn on the board, with lawn,
flower-bed, and tree. In the house
can be seen the different floors.
There is basement, first and a
second floor, and an attic. The
basement is for all small words,
and they become more difficult as
they go up. AS soon as the child
can spell the words in the base
ment, he goes to the first floor,
and so on, until he has reached the
attic. Then he goes to the tree and
goes up the ladder, and spells the
word on each limb. He comes down
the ladder on the other side. Paul

horse stalls in It. We made a box
stall out of one of them for him,

When you take him up to a box
or something like that, he will put
his front feet up on ~ He will go
up steps and he will get down on
his knees and kneel. Red Cross

causes trouble. He will slip UP on
you and bite button off your
clothes and then hide 1t. or course
we have to go In then and sew on
another button.-David Campfield,

TO TRY DUET BRoADcAsTING
The broadcasting stations at
Louisville (WHAS) and at Atlanta
(WSB) are planning an experiment
in duet broadcasting. One will
broadcast the instrumental music
of given program while the other
will broadcast the vocal part.
Credo Harris, manager of the sta
ton at Louisville, and Maj. John
Cohen, director of the Atlanta Jour
nal plant, are at work on the details
of the experiment. One idea sug-
gested is that each studio install a
Western Union self-setting clock
adjusted so that the pendulum has
a half-second swing, tune the pianos
to 400 pitch, and adjust transmit
tiers as near as practically possible
to a $50 meter wave length.
If the. experiment works success

of the Southwestern Division. Even
tually she took over supervision of
nursing services in the entire State
of Texas.
She next spent five months in Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, in a project sup
ported by the Rockefeller Founda-
ton and the Brazilian government,
to establish public health nursing.
Her training and experience have
well qualified her for the position to
which she has now been appointed
and she will, it is believed, prove a
most capable liason officer between
Division headquarters and the chap
tiers and nurses in the Vermont field.
Miss Varney will continue as Ex-
ecutive Secretary of the Caledonia
County Chapter, where she has been
very successful in efficient develop
ment of Red Cross service. She will
give one-quarter of her time to field
work. Miss Varney entered Red
Cross work soon after the United
States entered the war. She re-
ceived training for Home Service at
Red Cross Institute and was sent
into Vermont to- organize Home Ser
vice in half the State under the Yer
mont State Chapter, which was soon
superseded by the various County
Chapters. She continued in Vermont
from December, 1917 to October,
1918, when she joined the staff of
the Home Service Section of the
Boston Metropolitan Chapter and was
assigned to the Chapter Home Ser
vice office in Maiden, Mass. In
October, 1919, she became Executive
Secretary of the Caledonia County
Chapter.
