OF the celebration was the lighting
OF bonfire at nightfall by each
household.
/. lreland and in parts of Scot
land a similar festival, called Bel
tame, was Observer by lighting
two fires close together, when
both persons and animals would
pass between them in the belief
that disease would thereby be
warded off. Accounts of such a
ceremony were recorded as early
as about the year COS A. d.
In Germany similar rites were
held often with a view to appeas-
ing evil spirits, these being also
observed with certain variations in
Spain and Italy. China and Japan
hold ceremonies for the entertain

are lined with lanterns. It is said
that some American Indian tribes

The young feminine world eX-
presses by its fervent cheers, the
admiration which the sex feels for
strength and power. The bright
clothing of the young women, the
cheerful music of the school and

Such a game becomes a supreme
expression of American enthu-
siasm and happiness and hero
worship.

Fcstir0l of Youth

Football is festival of youth.
On these occasions, young man
hood comes forth in all it's pride
of muscular power and alert wit,
and shows what can be done by
powerful bodies, trained muscles,
and strategic organization. The,
players throw themselves into
this somewhat rough game with
defiance of all physical risks, so
that it seems a little like a body
Of soldiers going out to capture
a trench. The applauding crowds

of society we should have!"
But we can't put the wisdom Of
80 years into the heart of 20. If
the young folks had all the sage
ness of age, they would probably
be satisfied to accept the world
as it is, and let it wag on it's
weary way in the old rut.
Let us be glad that youth is so

false and sickly vices by which

Girl Is Star of Tevo Sevim Teams

her cousins are members Of this
team and her younger brother, John,
is following in her strokes, so to
speak, so 1t looks as If she comes of
a swimming family.
Last school year Kathryn was one
OF the stars of the basketball team
at Leland Junior High. She gradu-
ated in June and is now looking for
ward to entering Bethesda Chevy
Chase High School in September.
Her athletic ability earned her two
letters during her last year at Le-
land.
For boys and girls interested in
competitive swimming, Kathryn
gives the following pointers:
Il. The end of the race depends
mostly upon the beginning. Your
racing dive, If perfected, should put
you away ahead of your competitors
at the very start.
"2.' Try to stay in your lane. If
you find you have trouble doing 50,
practice.
"3. To keep calm before a race I
chew gum.
-. If you find yourself hindered
by your breathing, keep practicing
until you overcome the difnculty.
IS. When starting to swim be care
full not to overexert yourself.
e. When you consider yourself
good, don't show of. Remember,
many drowning victims are SWIM
mers who are good and know it."
Kathryn plans to become school
teacher when she completes her
education.

Wed just put some of the mice
on tight thread to see which one
could stand on it the longest" Bobby
explained. 1T was fun"
The program was rounded out by
a Punch and Judy" puppet show.
Charlie made the marionettes and
operated them during the show
while Bobby put the mice through
their PAGES.
Bobby has been raising mice since
January, 1898. He keeps them in
cages in the basement of his home.
Thus far he has sold about so of
the animals at 10 cents each.
Charlie started raising rabbits in
partnership with his father about
three years ago. At one time they
had 40 of the pets.
When he is not busy teaching his
mice new stunts Bobby collects tur-
ties. At present he has about a
dozen.
Both young showmen are Boy
Scouts.

BOOSTS STAMP COLLECTING.
Dear Editor: I am writing to
you about my hobby, which is COL
lecting stamps.
Stamps are very interesting. They
teach you how to write the names
OF different countries, and they will
be valuable to you If you keep them
long enough. When you begin COL
lecting stamps you get the COM
mon ones first.
I like the triangle and very
small stamps best. When you have
a triangle you seem to like it better.
because it is not so popular. If
you have any stamps and want to
know the value of them you can 60
to the library and get a stamp cat
alogue.
I have been saving stamps since
was 9 years old and have enjoyed
1t very much.
