PUPILS MAKE
PUPPETS FOR
SCHOOL PLAY
Old Stocking and Rubber
SpongeS Are Material for
No. 20 Fourth Graders.

The puppets are acting today at
school No. 20, at 1125 Spruce street,
where the pupils of the fourth
grade are staging the play, Rum
plestilkin," in five scenes, for their
schoolmates.
Today's production is the first of
the entertainments which the
fourth-graders will stage. Their
plans call for a short marionette
musical play to be given before the
Parent Teacher Association meeting
Dec. 3.
The January Parent-Teacher
meeting will see the dramatization
of a fairy story.
Puppets in the plays are made
by the pupils from whatever mate
rails they have at hand. Old stock
ings, rubber sponges and adhesive
tape ali find their way into the
manufacture of a regular little
dummy.
Faces are made by sculpturing a
clay head, making a plaster cast of
the face, and then pressing paper
into the cast so that it conforms to
the desired features.
Bodies are made with rubber
sponges, covered with old stockings.
The miniature stage has been
built at the stair landing, so that
the audience may view the puppet
productions from the hall below.
Eight dummies take part in the
play presented today, with eight
pupils pulling the strings from above
the stage. In addition, another doll
is used to announce the scenes.

DROUGHT HURTS TREES
U. S. Bureau Fears for Life Unless
Heavy Rains Fall.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-While
the drought of 1880, the severest on
record, has been broken" officially,
the rains have been insufficient to
replenish the sub-soil moisture ne
cessary to the life of deep-rooted
trees. Unless the rains this winter
are especially heavy, next year will
see increasingly large numbers of
dead and dying trees. Already many
of those which line the drivewayS
in and around this city have
succumbed to the lack of moisture.
Latest reports from the U. S.
weather bureau show that south
eastern United States, from Mary
land down to northern Florida, at
present is experiencing very dry
conditions. South Carolina, Georgia,
and eastern Alabama are especially
hard hit. Tennessee, Kentucky,
northern Arkansas, and parts of
Illinois, however, have had good
rains within the last few days.

Most of us are familiar with that
portion of biblical history relative to
Lot and the cities of Sodom and Co
morrah. How the two angels came
to Sodom and abode at the house -
Lot.
Sodom has been used as a symbol
of unrighteousness; while on the
other hand. Lot was a lover of righ-
teousness. and had reverence and
respect for God.
We give him credit because in
spite of the facs that his association
was with the iniqwitous people of
Sodom, he was able by the help of
Cod to hold out for the high ideals
of integrity. Though his possessions
were to be destroyed, and most of
his family had taken the way of the
Sodomites. The angels from God told
Lot to Escape for thy life; look
not behind thee. neither stay thou
in all the plain, lest thou be con-
sumed."
The lesson from this text presents
itself to the people of today. There
is no progress to be made in look
ing back Every man who turns his
face from the bright prospects of the
future becomes man of antiquated
ideas, and plays no part in turning
the wheel of progress.
If the people of our nation or race
would escape for their lives. they
must loose themselves from the ideas
and principles that have been DOOM
ed by the worlds progress; leav-
ing the plains of superstition and
ignorance behind, and flee to the
mountain of religion, thrift and edu-
cation, that they may perpetuate
those higher ethics which the world
is hungry for.
