MIR. PERRY SPEAKS
TO SECTION 9S

Last Friday, Section SO had the
great opportunity of listening to
Mr.. Perry, manager of Grants
Store in Milford.
Mr.. Perry, it seemed always wan
ted to be merchant. His first ad-
venture. was the usual little boy
prank of selling a basket of apples.
In his later life he worked in the
laboratory of Thomas A. Edison,
and it was here that he learned
that concentration played a great
part in anyone's life.
Mr.. Perry says the boys Of today
aren't any different from him, and
if they have some special hobby or
thing they want to do, they should
stick to il, start at the bottom and
work up to it. Maybe you will be as
Mr.. Perry is, the manager of store
of one of the largest chains in the
United States.

ARMISTICE DAY

On Wednesday Of this week we
celebrated the thirteenth anniver-
sary of the signing of the Armis-
tice. That Armistice meant the
declaration of a truce and eventual
peace after long hard years of bit
ter struggle over there in Flanders,
after years of horror and heart
break unequaled by any others in
history. The Great War had been
the most destructive, the most ter
rible we have ever known, and the
results of it's damage will be with
us for many more years. Not only
has it hurt us, but it has nearly
ruined the country that started it.
1t was fought because of the
greed of enc man or a few men.
War is like that because of the lust
of a few tyrants many men, the
strongest and bravest of our youths
must tight each other and die on
the cold battlefield alone or be
manned for life; blood must flow in
muddy rivers; women and children
must suffer and die; the best work
of mans hands must be wrecked
and destroyed.
God made no one man to rule the
whole world for Him, yet there is
always someone who thinks he is
meant to conquer the world. There
was Alexander the Great, julius
Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, the
Kaiser Bill" and many, many
others-merely men, but they caus-
ed more suffering than we care to
think about.
Every year, when Armistice Day
comes around the songs "our boys"
sang are recalled. Every year we
thrill anew to the spirit of them
and sometimes we feel the tears in
our eyes too, as we think how they
marched along, tired and hungry,
with Jumps in their throats that
wouldn't so down, and gnawing
fear at their hearts, singing those
songs to keep UP their courage.
Thirteen years and they are not for
gotten nor will they ever be; but
again already the world is restless
and in low conditions; times are
hard and nations are dissatisfied.
How will it all end? Will the
happy, care free school children of
today grow up only to leave their
homes the parents and friends to
fight and die as they did in that last
war? Or will that awful monster
war" be crushed by diplomacy and
peaceful arbitration? 1t is an un-
answered question but one that al
ways arises when we remember the
black strife of that last year.

Twelve Left Strive
For Tennis Crown
Ellen SippIe Is Only Girl In Race

Yesterday, as 1 entered a class
room, l noticed that the boys and
girls were all. jeering at George Vim
yard. Naturally l wondered what
this was all about. 1t did not take
many minutes for me to find the
answer to my wonderment, for just
then someone yelled to me:
"Vinyard got beat this morning in
his tennis match, by Henry Bum
stein!" he said with plenty of
laughter and jeering.
This is an example of the result
of one of the first of a series of
matches in the tennis tournament,
which has taken place during the
last two weeks.
It was begun by Mr.. Boston, with
the object of encouraging compete
ton within the school and along
with this, to find the best tennis
player.
At the beginning there were about
forty entries for this tournament.
This number dwindled until there
were twenty-four who played their
first matches. Out of these, twelve
are left to fight out the second ser
les. These are Ben Wilson, Charles
Breme, George Draper and George
Russell from Junior High; and
Frank Sapp, Howard Derrickson,
Ben Manlove, Harris Belts, Henry
Bunstein, Ernest Webb, and Ellen
Sipple from Senior High.
From these names you will find
that there is only one girl left. This
is Ellen Sipple. Boys? what a play
er she is. She has beaten the rest
of the girls and is now preparing to
take the honors by running through
the boys lines.
Nevertheless, she has some good
players to fight against and if she
wins she deserves the praise that
will be given to her.
Watch this page in the next issue
for the name of the winner. 1t will
appear as soon as the finals are
played off

Fourteen per cent of the children
buying their lunch at the cafeteria
selected from this menu an ade-
quate lunch. The cost of such a
lunch did not exceed sixteen cents.
The average cost of each child's
lunch was twelve and q half cents.
These figures do not include the
money spent on ice cream.
If the average amount of money
spent by each child is twelve and

should spend for his lunch if he

Dr.. Barnard Says Training Is
Required in Coping
r, With Problems.
~ the Associated Press.


HOT SPRINGS, Ark. May 2.-Dr.
Henry E. Barnard, director Of the White
House Conference on Child Health and
Protection. today predicted that within
10 years a system of instruction to
parents would be in effect in public
schools. to train them to cope with
school and home problems of children.
DR.. Barnard, speaking before the Ma
tional Conference of Parental Educa-
ton. said this system would be estab-
1ished largely through the efforts OF
Parent-Teacl1er associations.
DR.. Joy Elmer Morgan, editor OF the
Journal Of the National Education AS
sociation, told the conference that
parents who wish to teach their chill
dren the finer things Of life first must
offset the "demoralizing influence" OF
the movies, the radio and some news
papers. He said radio advertising tends
would appeal to educated persons or
aid toward education of the youth.
He warned of vulgar actions and
speech he predicted would come into
the home through development OF tels-
vision.
DR.. Caroline Hedger Of Chicago said
the tuberculosis rate. while decreasing
80 per cent since 1900 for the whole
race. had not been lowered among high
school girls She answered her own
question of why this condition obtained
by saying the average high school girl
wanted to dress in style and would eat
nothing that would make her fat.
The conference was opened yesterday
with q radio address from San Diego.

SOVIET PLANS FILMS
BASED ON RED ARMY
100000 Fighters to Become Part
of Romance interpreted
With Propaganda.

MOSCOW (P).-Soviet Russias Red
Army of 100000 well fed and well
clothed fighters is to become part OF
moving picture romance.
The films of course. will contain q
certain amount Of Communistic propa-
ganda.
Vsevolod Pudovkin, leading Commun.
list movie director, who has made such
pictures as Storm Over Asia. Mother
and THE End Of St. Petersburg" now
is preparing for production q series of
photoplays based on the Communist
combat troops.
The Red Army is a Sotyce OF much
Aim material said Pudovkin. There
is all sorts of drama in this organi2a-
ton. I intend to make series OF flve
or six dramas, each Of some 5000 or
10000 feet in length. Will there be any
propaganda in these Aims? Well. OF
course, all of our pictures. to q GER
tain extent, expound the Communist
ideology"
The new Pudovkin series will not be
of the talkie type. They will have
sound effects, however. Pudovkin Is not
against the "talkies." but he believes
that for universal appeal the "silents"
will continue.
Pudovkin has never been to America,
but he hopes some day to achieve this
adventure. although he has no especial
urge for Hollywood.

which the United States would be but
one.
These further developments deserve
to be discussed at length in separate
articles. The urgent thing now, the
immediate problem, is the substitution
of a continental doctrine Of joint re-
sponsibility for the misused Monroe
Doctrine. This Is the only road TO q
practical Pan-Americanism of the right
kind-of equal obligations, equal privi-
leges and mutual confidence.
The favorable reaction provoked
throughout the continent by the new
Latin American policy of the State De-
partment and the understanding spirit
and interest shown by the present Gov
eminent Of the United States seem to
indicate that this is the right time to
bring about such substitution. I believe
that the greatest tribute which could
be paid to the memory Of James Monroe
would be the initiation on the centenary
of his death Of this movement to elimi-
nate so much misinterpretation and
misunderstanding committed in his
name.

Keep replenish- ing until the whole kettle of cider begins to thickens and becomes syrup-y. Continue boiling without adding more cider until thick as molasses. Be careful the cider doesn't scorch during the last part of the cooking. Pour into hot sterlized cans and seal.
 The old rules for boiling cider used four parts of sweet cider to make one part of boiled cider.
 One cup of boiled cider will sea- son three mince pies deliciously Brandy won't be missed in either fruit cake or mince pie if boiled cider is added.
 The following recipes use sweet cider to advantage.
 Ham Baked in Cider.
 A whole ham, or a three-inch slice of ham can be used for bak- ing. If your family is small you may prefer the slice. The propor- tions in the recipe are for three pounds of ham. If more is wanted increase the ingredients propor- tionately.
 One slice ham cut three inches thick, 1-2 cup sweet cider, 1-2 teaspoon mustard, tablespoon brown sugar, 1-4 teaspoon pepper, whole cloves, stick cinnamon.
 Pour boiling water over ham and let stand 15 minutes. Drain and wipe dry. Mix mustard thor oughly with brown sugar and rub we'll into ham. Stick cloves into fat, sprinkle over pepper and lay a few pieces of stick cinnamon over the top. Put meat into roast- CT and add cider. Bake two hours in a very moderate oven. For the last half hour of baking watch closely, for the cider and brown sugar will burn easily when great ly reduced.

Sue had dived. But every time she had dived she had been fright ened. She had never quite under stood how she could swim in any water. battle rough waves, let rain stream down, and love it, and yet be afraid of diving board. She was, though. There wasn't any ex- planation. After she hit the water she was always sure of herself. But she despised the plunge through the air. She was glad now that she had made herself learn the proper form of diving.
 She knew that a good diver never ran off the board. That the steps to the end of the board were taken at slow walking pace. The last move was the one in which the body was thrown up and slightly forward. She knew what to do with her arms and shoulders, too.
 It was the take-off that she hated. Once the water was under her she was all right.
 But she dived. And the dive was successful. Her leg was all right now. She came back and sat down by the fire. Mentally she wondered what form of torture was next on Lois list. Evidently she was aim ing to find something that fright ened her. So far she hadn't found anything.
