beauty, adventure, and mystery.
On first sight they appear bill
lowy and soft; in reality they are
solid enough for motorists to roll
their cars from one to another in
coaster style. Rising from fifty to
a hundred feet in height, rhythmic,
graceful, symmetrical in line, the
white sands of New Mexico make
a spectacular scene.
For many years the settlers
cattlecer, lumbermen, farmers
have feared these sands as they
would an inexplicable monster,
growing in size year after year.
Fear and superstition based upon
reality have created thrilling leg
ends of courageous if lawless
heroes who lived around Alamo
gordo and Tularosa. But the ac-
tual source of these astonishing
sand hills is not less incredible
than the widest of legendary tales.
Beneath the ground among sand
stone and limestone are deposits
of gypsum. AS gypsum is soluble
in water, it rises to the surface
with the water. Under the action
of the atmosphere, the water evap-
crates leaving tiny grains of gyp-
sum, which the wind blows into
drifts north and east of their orig
inal resting place.
1t would be supposed that sub
stance found so abundantly and so
useful in the world would easily af-
ford men fortunes, for gypsum is
used as fertilizer and soil condi-
toner under the name of agricul-
tural gypsum, in making cement,
paper, fabrics, crayons, plaster
boards and wallboards, and is used
in hospitals by doctors and sur
geons for casting plaster.
But not so, for Alamogordo is
far removed from any market or
commercial center. Small deposits
nearer a railroad or a waterway
are used in preference to the ex-
pensive gypsum of New Mexico
Within the 10000 acres of gyp-
sum dunes is a world of adventure
and study. Its scientific and ro-
mantle interest will mark it as a
place to which will go such travel
ers as would see phenomena of Ma
ture. Scholars interested in ancient
history, plant and animal life un-
der extreme conditions, lovers of
desolation and soliture will find the
sands of Alamogordo a veritable
paradise.

Orphaned

One day when my sister, mother
and were scampering down a hill
we saw a man carrying long OBJ
ject. OF course sister and 1 did
not know what it was, for we were
only little cubs. But mother did.
1t was our deadly enemy, the hunt
ter. She jerked herself around and
motioned for us to run to our den.
Our den was in q. large forest.
When we reached it, it was nearly
dark so we lay down and romped
and played for awhile. When sis
ter and 1 grew tired we lay down
between mothers paws and went
fast asleep.
The next day mother went for
some food, but made us stay at
our den. Darkness came and still
mother did not return. Sister and
/ stumbled outside but could not
catch a glimpse of mother coming,
so we began to whimper for we
were very hungry and thirsty. We
waited for two or three days and
still she did not return. Then 1t
came to us mother had been caught
by our enemy.
When we thought we could no
longer do without food we went
from our den and down a hill.
Then, without a warning my sister
walked straight into a clump OF
grass and I heard a great snap.
When / turned around sister had
fallen over, and her right front
paw was caught in large steel
trap. Without a word five men
rushed out and captured her. |
started running as fast as my
weak legs would carry me. But the
men were too fast, they caught me,
since 1 was so weak from hunger.
After we were caught we were
put in a cage and taken to large
circus. Sister began to whimper
and cry, but they comforted us by
giving us food. After we were,
strong again we were taken to a
larger ring, where a man taught
us how to do tricks. We do not
have to hunt for our food here. but
although we are happy we some
times get lonesome for mother
bear.

The Bee

How many of us have gazed up
on the palace of honey" and have
longed to witness the work of the
busy little bee? For we all know
that the hive is the home of ex-
traordinary activity where groups
of little creatures are performing
the work that nature has perscrib-
ed.
There are three species of bees,
the queen, the drone and the work
er, and each type performs its hfe's
work with a spirit of sacrifice
forgetful of itself, in its work for
the future. In less than five weeks
all perish. Had they been less
wasteful of their energy they could
no doubt, have lived to enjoy one
more summer. But work is "the
spirit of the hive" and with much
labor and distress comes the assur-
ance that the oncoming generation
will thrive from their sacrifice.
The bee is also of great CONNER
cial value, producing annually
many pounds of honey and wax.
Because of its many advantages
we must forget its sting; afterall,
that is it's only means of protec-
tion.
Some one has said, "a summer
where there are no bees becomes
as sad and as empty as one with
out flowers or birdsp Can we not
learn a lesson from the bees?

Clayton VS.. Hartly in Soccer
Monday, October 5, was a red
letter day in the lives of some of
the Clayton School boys for it
meant that it was the first day we
were to carry the blue and gold in
action After what seemed very
long day the final bell rang and out
we went to play the boys from
Hartly.
During practically the entire
game we were able to keep the
ball in Hartly territory, but missed
several chances to score The first
half ended with Clayton leading 2
to 0 by virtue of goals scored by
Gooding and Chase. In the second
half the same boys combined to
score three more points to bring
our total to s. Near the end of the
game the captain of the HartIy
team scored the only goal for their
side. Hartly played good defen-
sive game and will be hard to beat
on their own field.
The Clayton lineup was:
G., Bill Bodley; L. F. B., Joe
Pyle; R. F. B., Leon Chase; L. H.
B.. Earl Ely; c. H. B., Elmer Ross;
R. H. B., Grey Budd; R. o. F., Viii
liam Chase; R. 1. F., Pete Bick-
ling; C. F, James Gooding; L. IF,
Merrick Horn; L. o. F., Bill Pusey.

Girls Now Ready for Field Ball

The Clayton girls have learned q
new game this year Field Ball.
We have ben working very hard
Some of the girls went to Sudlers-
vile to see a game played, in order
to get a better understanding OF
the game.
The game is played on the same
field as soccer. Field ball is play
ed like soccer with the exception
the ball is thrown instead of being
kicked. The goal is only half the
size of the soccer goal. Our first
game will be played with Town
send Monday, October II, on the
Clayton grounds. The lineup is as
follows:
Forwards, Helen Biddle, Helen

I think that it would be wiser
for you to ask the principal OF

A beige lace gown would be
lovely for you to wear at this

charmingly appropriate.
Your slippers might be dyed
the same shade as your gown.
this would make for a beautiful
harmony. Or you might wear sill

Whether you wear a corsage,
or flowers in your hair depends
on your own choice, and especially
on whether you are the type to
wear flowers in your hair. Per
haps, instead of either of these
floral plans, you might like to
wear a row of small gardeniaS,
say, across the front neckline of
your dress. This is so often
delightfully."- effective. and apt
to be extraordinarily becoming
for just such an occasion.
When you choose the flowers

choose them either to carry out
the pastel look of the Shade of

or white orchids or very light

rosebuds perhaps combined with
