Bob was called upon to demon

in the hope that some day he will
become a sound effects man for a

Are you in Dutch" with mother
because you have stained that new
shirt she bought you, or that nice
white blouse? Well, try these easy
remedies for spots that just get on
your clothes without your knowing
it when you're out having a good
time with your friends.
If you have gotten white gar
ment little too close to some grass
while sliding down the hill or having
a grand free-for-all on the old
vacant lot, look up a bottle of am
monia and daub it on the discolored
area, allow to stand for a few
minutes and then rinse out the
ammonia with plenty of cold, clear
water and soap.
In case you had on color instead
Of white, rub a little lard on the
stain and wash it out with soap and
water. Molasses is said to be a
good remedy If it is rubbed well
into the spot and then thoroughly
washed out with soap and luke
warm water.

BY FLORENCE B. ALEXANI
CHARLEMAGNE.

Germany was welded into an en-
pire by Charles the First, better
known by his French name, Charlie
magne. Germans called him King
Karl, the Pope crowned him Caesar
and Augustus.
He inherited the kingdom of the
Franks, one of the 10 provinces of
Rome under the Caesars, his rule
extending over all of present-day
France and the greater part of Ger
many. His ambition was to ex-
pand his kingdom to embrace both
the eastern and western boundaries
of the old Roman Empire. But he
failed in that and was able to rule
only over Rome's western dominion
He called his empire Alleman. 1t
meant, in the Germanic language
"every man." indicating that every
one was welcome in that country.
But that was 1000 years ago.
His kingdom also was called the
Holy Roman Empire. 1t was neither
holy nor Roman, being French
Teutonic kingdom of military and
civic strength.
He established famous university
at Aix-la- -Chapelle, and he invited
the most eminent scientists and
scholars of the world to his court
Yet he was unable to sign his own
name, having in vain attempted to
learn to write in his maturer years
He used his monogram for his sigma
ture to state papers. 1t was Gus
tomary in those days, when unable
to write, to paint over a stencil OF
thin wood or metal in which the
monogram had been cut. Charlie
magne Is said to have used such a
stencil when signing his initials.

The Perfect Game

Can you imagine a basket
ball game that ended with the
score 0 to o?
According to a great coach,
If a perfect game were ever
played that is what the score
would be. A perfect defense,
matching a perfect offense,
would prevent the scoring OF
a single point.
1t follows, therefore, that
scores are made in basket ball
because the teams are not per-
feet. In other words, they are
made because of the mistakes
of the various players. In fact,
the coach quoted makes the
definite statement that no team
ever won a game-its opponents
simply lost the game through
their mistakes.
Now, everybody makes er-
rors-lots of them-but some
times we forget how important
it is to make as few as possible.
If basket ball games are won
or lost simply through mis-
takes, it follows that errors
are equally important in other
things. And the best thing
any of us can do if we want
to get along better is to watch
out for our mistakeS-and cor
rect them.-The Editor.

Haunted House
Visit Ends in
Surprise
BY EVA COHEN,
Paul Junior High School.

On top of a hill not far from my
home stood a dilapidated old cot
tage. No one had lived in it for
a long time, and it was known
around the neighborhood as "the
haunted house"
One day my girl-friend and !
decided to explore this house. 1t
was claimed by some of the neigh
bors that during the night a low,
mournful wall could be heard-the
cry of a ghost, they said.
When we entered the cottage, we
were careful to watch both ahead
and behind at every step. 1t was
very dark, because the shutters were
closed, and both of us were fright
ened. Suddenly, we heard low
wail-and we turned and ran.
When we got outside, some boys
started teasing us, calling us isis
sizes" So we entered the house
again, this time determined not to
allow anything to frighten us.
Going up the first flight of stairs
nothing was to be seen, and the
second floor was the same way. AS
we entered room in the attic, how
ever, we saw. two eyes piercing the
darkness.
Somehow, my arm brushed against
one of the shutters, and we discov-
cred what had frightened us-the
thing that had walled so mourn
fully-was an owl.

Death of Dog Same
AS Losing Friend,'
Owner Writes
BY FRANK KING.

When I wss years of age I had
a very pretty pet dog. He was a
black and brown beagle. He would
bark when my parents corrected
me. He knew many tricks. He would
stand on his hind feet and beg.
I would throw the ball up in the
air and he would catch it, would
pitch the ball and he would get
it and bring it back to me.
One morning he was lying under
dads car and dad did not know it,
and he ran over the dog and broke
his back. I was in bed and did not
see the accident. When saw my
pet I asked what happened but no
one would tell me. They all said he
was sick. I cried and cried. I
would not eat, would not sleep.
When I would 60 near him he
would whine, as if to talk to me-
I bathed and rubbed his back. He
got a little better, but he never
could walk. I kept him until he
