We are greatly enjoying our
selves these nice spring days by
playing outside. The warmest
days we also ate our dinner out
side. We have started having an
hour incoming, instead of thirty
minutes.
The boys have been making and
bringing sling shots to school, if
they aren't careful in the way they
use them-we are thinking-that
Miss Harder will have an extra
supply of them on hand. Caution!
Take care.
The girls are progressing rap
idly with their sewing Friday af-
ternoons. They are making. thi:
for the fair. The boys don't seem
to take much intrest in their work,
and won't have much to put on ex-
hibit.
New decorations have found
their way up, these are all free
hand cutting and drawings made
by the lower grades. ~
The eighth grade has finished
the Citizenship books and has
begun on general review.
Violet Thornbloom visited our
school one afternoon last week.
Carl Holme got sick in school
Monday and had to 90 home.
The 9Th grade finds the World
War very interesting. Many of the
results of this war have direct
bearing upon us.
Miss Harder has finished the
book she has been reading to us
for opening exercises.
Very few have been absent these
last few days.

Signaling

A requirement of a second-class
Scout is signalling, know the ele-
mentary Morse code, semaphore OR
Indian sign language. Most of
the Scouts pick the Morse Interna-
tional code because of it's versatility.
This code can be sent Iby sound,
light or flags. The general science
department has a telegraph for
the Scouts to use. The apparatus
is installed for communication be-
tween the two buildings. Standard
equipment is used so it is a first
class set. With practice on good
sets great speed can be develop
ed.
The requirement of a frst-class
Scout is to be able to send and
receive 16 letters a minute. The
merit badge requirement is dou-
BILE that of first-class require
ment.
After Easter vacation Satur-
,, days will be the outdoor meeting
for the Scouts. Time will be spent
playing ball, high and broad jump
ing, or playing volley ball, and
other track sports.
Last Saturday the Scouts went
on hike. At 800 o'clock they
arrived at the creek where they en-
joyed a game of kitten ball. Very
often a heavy would hit the ball
into the creek in his efforts to
make home run. The score was
coed for one side but not so god
for the other.
After the ball game the second
class Scouts passed fire making
tests, and on these fires they
passed the cooking tests. The first
class Scouts also passed the cooking
tests. Even though the Scouts had
! cooked the food they ate very
heartily.
Before returning home another
game of ball was played Some
of the players could have made 20
bases on their hits because the
fielders thought it the best policy
to remain dry.

MUCH SOUND SENSE
nv GOVERNORS IDEA

& way to prevent counterfeitine,
used by the governor of Kashgar, in
Chinese Turkestan, is explained by
William j. Morden in across Asia's
Shows and Deserts" the story of his
adventures while crossing Asia on a
scientific eXpendition. The tael note,
Kaahgar currency, printed on rather
heavy paper, is worth from 60 to 90
cents. Writes Bir Morden:
Several thousand paper taels made
q rather bulky mass; so we endeav-
OreQ to obtain notes of greater de-
nomination, but learned that nothing
larger was issued. When I inquired
the reason, l was told that were large
notes issued there would doubtless be
considerable counterfeiting. AS the.
penalty fer that crime is death, the
governor felt that he was saving the
lives Of many of his people by not
putting temptation in their way, since
he thought the incentive with only
single tael notes not great enough to
encourage counterfeiting." Kansas

USED ALL
SORTS OF WEAPONS

Many of the aviators in the World
war had pet peculiarities which they
catered to while on night bombing
raids, points out Capt. A. Roy Brown,
the Canadian ace who conquered the
famous German aviator, Richthofen,
in an article in Liberty.
Along with the explosives the flyers
would take bricks, bottles, old boots,
empty tins, and other kinds of junk,
and toss them cut, over the German
lines, with boyish enthusiasm. "A
favorite missile was an empty BOTTLE"
explains Captain Brown. at was not
unusual for a bomber to fare forth
with dozen empties on board as
added starters.
IAN empty bottle tossed out with
the right flip from height of several
thousand feet, fell-as the wind caught
its open mbuth-With the screech of a
Valkyrie. 1t could not do much harm,
of course. unless it made direct hit;
but the ni%htraiding pilots felt that
these falling bottles had moral eff

ENDS DESPAIR
As WIFE WAITS
STORK'S COMING
Man Dies in Gas-Filled
Kitchen While Mate and
Children Sleep.

Washin gton.-Black specters of
hopeless despair recently held veri-
table dance OF death in the bedroom
of Mr.. and Mrs. Alton Carricks.
The man and woman tried tn vain
to fall asleep with the grimacing imps
Of circumstance parading by, led by
that ugly hag, Tomorrow.
The woman was struggling to con-
troll her nerves. She knew that some
time I'm the next "a hours she must
for the sixth time in the past 10
years, enter into the agony of child
birth.
Future 10 Dreary.
The man was struggling with his
thoughts. Employed as a truck
driver, he received a meager wage.
The hospital bills would be heavy.
There would be another mouth to
feed. Long since the rosy tints of
hope had faded from his horizon. He
looked into the future. Nothing hut
bills aad more bills, economies and
more economies, and the monotony of
driving truck six days week for
years and years.
In another room In the little home
ave children peacefully siumbered.
Alton Carrieks got out of bed. He
told bis wife that he was going down
to the kitchen and make himself a hot
drink.
Absorbed in her own worries, she
thought no more Of it. She didn't
notice when he failed to return and
finally she fell into a troubled sleep.

ing of all drinks in the world-death.
Els Traui1les Over

btterest and. perhaps, the most sooth-
ing of all drinks in the world-death
Ills Troubles over.
He was rid of the specters. He
would never have to pay for this and
pay for that and pay for the other
thing again. He would not drive a
truck tomorrow nor the next day nor
for all eternity. The dreadful mo-
noteny OF labor was over.
The first pangs of childbirth were
tearing the body of the woman as she
looked down on the body.
In another room the five children
still were sleeping and outside the
window the sparrows were chirping
In the snow.
The mother was alone--so utterly,
terribly alone-to face the trials of
the day.
The fire, department rescue squad,
frantically summoned, rushed to the
house at 100 Carol street southeast,
but they could do nothing Casualty
hospital physicians said that Carricks
had been dead for several hours.

Carp Broke Window

When two policemen of Whining
ton, Del, heard the crash of falling
glass they expected to find an intrud
er in a fish store there, but when
they arrived on the scene they saw
nothing but shattered plate glass and
a nine-pound carp lying on the pave
ment. Ben Weintraut, the owner of
the store, explained the mishap by
saying that he had taken the carp
from a tank and was awaiting the ar
rival of rabbi to kill the fish, when
the carp, frantic in its struggles to
seek water. gave mighty flap of its
tail and broke the window.
