statement of Wilbur Glenn Voliva,
ovcrseer of the Christian Catholic
apostolic Church community here,
who said that a glance at a map of
the earth as a stationary plane would
show that the journey of the world

Afr. Voliva exhibited an ordinary
map of the globe upon which he had

of the earth.
Advocates ofsthe Copernican glob-
ular theory of the earth's shape
should note the statement of Prof
r. A. Gregory, one of their foremost
authorities" Mr.. Voliva asserted. He
quoted Prof. Gregory as saying:
"Circumnavigation in an easterly or
westerly direction does not nrove the
earth to be globular. 1t has been
pointed out that circumnavigation
would be possible on fiat surface
with the north magnetic pole at it's

There was q home and IL was new;

TT WAS a very nice home. 1t was in
fact the finest home Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse ever had
finer than they ever had expected to
have. The home they had left had been
verv comfortable, but very modest. Ii
had been made of grass and down on
tbe ground. But this new home was
right nm in the very middle of the corn
shock where there would be no damp
ness TO worry about. The outside was
made of strong, clean outer husks
strined form ears of corn, and the IN
side was made from the softer inner
husks The bed was made of shreds
of these same soft wrappings from the
corn together with some brown corn
silk and soft sweet grasses. 1t was
quite waterproof and windproot, very
snug. cosy and comfortable.

put your heart and thought into the
work YOU are doing it with all your
might. there is no time to think OF
YOUR troubles. So while Nanny had
been busy planning and building this
new home she had not had time to long
for the old home. And when at last
the new home was finished, it was such
a splendid home that Nanny would
have been a very silly little meadow
mouse indeed not to have been happy
and contented. -,
OF course Danny had helped build
that new home But he had had other
things to do, too. 1t had been for him
to find the easiest way from the ground

each. Then of course Danny felt that
he must know something about the
other cornshocks nearest to their own
Surprising something should happen to
force them to leave their home in q

that could happen, but supposing some

get Rosanna. She's splendid and Sonny
likes her. "I1l tell her to stay in the
next room so you can call her and I'll
be along first thing in the morning"
he said, although the dawn was even
then breaking.
Gained by Joan's presence the lit
tie boy presently fell asleep although
his slumbers were broken now and then
by quivering sobs. He held her hand
as though afraid that he might lose her
when he entered in the land of dreams.
Towards nine o'clock Joan heard car
speeding up the drive and knew that
Rupert had returned. Sonny stirred
resalessly but Joan gently moistened
the feverish lips and grasped the little
hand that strove to find hers. The
door opened and for a moment Rupert
paused on the Threshold. Never had
Joan lookd more alluring. The soft
folds of her shell-pink negligee chung
about her figure and the lovely line of
her shoulders was plainly reveal ID
where the silk wrap had slipped off
the arm that encircled Sonny.
At the sound of his step Joan
raised her eyes to his and surprised
glance that once would have caused
her heart to beat wildly. Then look.
ing again at Sonny she raised warn

the bed.

little boat" Raggedy Ann said.
I'VE have come to high cliff " the
Captain said, for he did not see the two
Witches tying the boat to the rees.
"Aha!" mean old WITCH Grundy
laughed as she poked her head over the
rail- You have come to the end of
your journey, for we have charmed the
path and have tied the little boat fast
with magic ropes!'
do not be so sure of that!' the lit
tie man in brown replied as he took his
magic horse shoe nail from his pocket
and rubbed it. Il can work magic as
well as you, I'll bet!' And as the rope
united itself and the magic boat turned
around, the two Raggedys and their
friends all laughed at the two Witches.
"Ha, ha ha! Did you ever get left
Did you ever get left?" And they all
wavd their ice cream cons at tn dis
appointd Witches and sailed away
down the right path through the won
derful deep, deep woods.

did not know. just where to sail the
little magical boat and as the little boat
did not know just where to go, it kept
sailing along the path.
And that was just why the two mean
old Witches fooled the little magical
boat. For the two Witches, Witch
Grundyand Witch iggle, knowing by the
use of their magic charms that the Cap
tain wished to said the boat to his
home, along the path and at one place
made another path.
So, when the little boat came to the
new path, it turned up that way until
it came to a high stone cliff and there
it stopped. OF course the little boat
could have sailed right up over the
cliff as easy as pie, but when it got
that far, it knew it had made a mis-
take and before it could turn around,
the two mean old itches had tied it to
three trees and it could not move even
smidgin.

ly of young girls and boys).
Some young people seem to be able
to show lack of respect and, at the same
time, make their parents friends dis
tinctly realize that they consider them
uninteresting old people, not worth
bothering about. This is not only I'M
intelligent but very short-sighted, for, II
young people would only realize 1t,
older people can be of great value and
help to younger ones.
Should Always Rise
OF course, young people should always
rise when older people enter or leave
n room and should remain standing till
they sit down. The old idea that chill
dren should be seen but not heard has
pretty much gone out of fashion after
they have reached an age where they
should have some capacity for conversa-
ton. But though they should show in
terest in what older people are discuss
ing they should not be arrogant or for
ward. No matter how strongly they
may feel a superior knowledge las most
young people do), the tactful and intel
ligent young boy or girl Will not snow
this.
1t is always correct and generally
makes very pleasing impression on an
older woman for a young man or girl to
cross room to greet her. They really
should give this mark of respect at
dinner or any place where it is not too
forced
I remember what charming impress
sion a certain young girl made on my
mother when she took the trouble one
day at a dressmaker's to cross the room
and say "How do you do?" to her.
Young people do not realize how much
they gain by little thought and effort
in these respects. Older people immense
ly appreciate good manners and con-
sideration from the young. A certain
young girl / know in New York is
adored by every older person she knows,
simply because she is interested and
alive while with them. Taking trouble
to be polite and attractive to older
people is not a sign that young per-
son is priggish; it is merely Intelligent.
If older people are coming to meal,
the young people should always try to
be a little ahead of them. Unless they
have a really excellent excuse, it is ex-
tremely bad manners to arrive after the
older guests.
The reason young people must not
keep their elders waiting is the same as
the reason for the rule that people of
any age must not keep persons of Of
fetal importance waiting. 1t is mark
of respect and shows ignorance if not
followed. Once 1 suffered through no
fault of my own. I was coming in from
the country to a dinner given for Secre-
tary of State Lansing. My train was
two hours late and though it seemed to
me I fell into my clothes, arrived just
as the guests were going into dinner 10

son in the party.

Witches away, and now they were sail
ing in the little magical boat towards
the little fat Captains home. The Cap
tain's brother had told them that his
mama would be very anxious to see the
little Captain again.
And so, they had invited the two
nice Grannys to 60 live at theih home
with them.
Everyone helped the Grannys carry

told a new fairy tale every half hour,
and the other magical things on board

And, as the magical boat had a very
wonderful magic cupboard which gave
them anything they wished to eat, the
Raggedys and their friends sat and ate
ice cream cones and other goodies
while they watched the scenery and lis
tened to the wonderful stories the
magic clock told.

Captain had left home. OF course he

ss So" said Rosanna when she met
Joan coming downstairs. Maybe
the master sent for Mrs. Love, but
maybe he didn't. Anyway I'm think
ing he'll be glad enough to have you
before Sonny pulls through"
"Oh, / wouldn't say that, Rosanna,
only Sonny's accustomed to me and l
promised him I'd stay with him till his
father came and when children are sick
they should not be crossed"
"Well, Miss Joan, as that woman

you're all tired out. Then, If she can't
manage him you'll be fit to stand the
strain"
II suppose that's the best thing to
do" answered Joan YEARLY, while Ros-
anna went back to the kitchen to look
after the soup that Joan had prepared
for her patient.
In answer to Mrs. Loves call q
little later she took it upstairs
'How's Sonny?' she asked.
"He seems about the same" an
swered Mrs. Love, "but probably by
tomorrow he'll be back to normal. You
know children make very quick recov
cries. l think Miss Fairweather has

"Well he was a pretty sick boy, bu
she did wonders for him and 1 jus

senses would be content to have no
place of safety save his own home.
So Danny visited the nearest shocks
and made little paths from one to an
other. Of course he sampled the corn
in each. II there was any better corn
than that in his own shock he wanted
to know it. He wanted the best to be
had. Then Danny did lot of study
ing. That sounds like school, doesn't
it? Well, Danny's studying was a diff
ferent kind. He studied to find out
what dangers they were likely to face
and must watch out for in their new
surroundings. He had hoped there
were none. You see he felt that that
cornfield was a discovery of his own,
or at least of Bobby Coon's. You re-
member it was Bobby Coon who had
shown Danny the way here. But he
wasn't long in discovering that there
were just as many dangers to be
watched out for as there had been in
the old home on the Green Meadows
In fact, there were the very same dam
gers.
Reddy and Granny Fox seemed to
know all about that cornfield. and
visited it quite regularly. So did Old
Man Coyote. Not a night passed that
Hooty the Owl didn't sail over it on
noiseless wings at least once. In the
daytime Roughleg the Hawk seemed to
think it worth while to keep it under
his keen eyes a good part of the time.
And then there was Black Pussy, the
big cat from Farmer Browns home.
She visited the cornfield much oftener
than she ever had the Green Meadows
Danny hated her. She didn't have to
hunt for a living as the others did.
Danny would fly in rage at the sight
of her black coat.
But there was one advantage which
Danny was quick to appreciate. From
his new home he could peep out and
watch his enemies. He could see when
the way was clear. In his old home he
had had to depend almost wholly on his
ears because he couldn't see over the
grass. Then, too, he didn't have to
leave that shock unless he wanted to.
So altogether, he felt that the new home
was a great success, even more of q
success than he had hoped it would be.
