Junior Page Editor.

From Evelyn Arnold, 10, Of Mon
rovia, Nd, comes this note:
Sister and are enjoying q race
to see who can get the most articles
published"
Evelyn and her sister, Gladys, IL,
long have been among the steadiest
Junior Page correspondents. In
fact, there's seldom q week that
doesn't bring a communication Of
some kind from one or the other of
them. Sometimes it's a story, some
times a poem, sometimes letter on
this or that. Always, however, it's
something Of interest-and, of
course, we're glad to hear from them,
just as we're glad to hear from all
other j. P. readers.
The note announcing the contest
between Evelyn and Gladys was
written at the bottom Of q poem on
ArmiStice Day-Which, we regret to
report, could not be published be-
cause OF lack of space. In the same
mail was an account of visit that
Gladys and some of her classmates
at the Damascus MdD Junior High
school made to the Washington
Navy Yard on Navy Day.
/ saw more soldiers, sailors and
marines than I had ever seen be-
1ore,' Gladys commented. Il also
say my first warship and submarines.
Inc only boats had ever seen be-
lore were canoes, rowboats and little
motor boats. In all, I had q great
day."
Incidentally, Gladys wrote in some
time ago to report that she had
adopted a new hobby" collecting
curlos for a curiosity jug"
Any jug, jar or pitcher will do"
she said. Il am going to use a
cracked pitcher unless l find some
thing better"
Here's how you go about assem-
Ding curiosity Jug" according to
Gladys: ~
First, you cover the jug with a
coat OF glue. When it is dry, cover it
with putty, to which little plaster
OF paris has been added. Put this
on about one-half inch thick, while
1t Is still wet. Press in the curios
When thoroughly dry, cover with a
thin coat of shellac."
AS to the curios themselves, GLADYS
Is using odd beads, buttons, medals,
)eWelry, tiny stone animals and
many other novelties"
All OF which has nothing in par
tlcular to do with the race" but
well, 1t just goes to show what in
oustrlous girls the Arnold sisters are.

thing OF the sort must be in progress
between John and Grace McGray.
