 Branches

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Republi- can Presidential nominee Wendell Willkie today advocated the Secre- tary of Aeronautics be added to the Presidents Cabinet.
 Willkie said that branch of mili- tary service is most important of all and should not be subordinated

A ball game is on tap for to- morrow evening in Firemen's Park beginning at o'clock sharp be- tween the Moose and the Elks The Paps need but one more game tC win the 1940 Little World Series and the Elks need yet to break into the win column.
 It appears in this three out oi five contest that the Moose should win easily, with three more games to play before the Elks could win the Paps having taken the first two games played.
 Ramsey of the Elks and Johnson of the Moose should face each other in a mound duel Sunday, if those two hurlers have their arms back in shape. Otherwise, Staack and Sogaard will probably fill their run ming mates shoes.

When Home was years old her
family had two dinner bells. One
evening she surprised her father
by asking him what had happened
to the other bell. It's dented and
needs to be repaired" he replied,
but how did you know this was
a different bell?"
1T has a different sound" Home
told him.
He rang the bell and she struck
the note on the piano. Then he
rang the other bell with a note
which she also found on the piano.
And this is how Homes rare sense
OF perfect pitch was discovered.
Now Home, who lives at 2O6 Ray
mond street, Chevy Chase, is able
to identify any musical note struck
slngly or in chords, including diff
tcult five-note minor chords.
In the assembly Mr.. Frisbie, leader
OF the high school orchestra, played

That's so they won't crack. and it
doesn't affect the flavor at all. Be-
fore we discovered this method,
seven or eight in each batch would

The eggs are boiled for IS minutes,
and after cooling. Norma paints in
the outline of the eyes. nose, mouth
and hair on each one. Color is added
next. Most of the eyes are blue, but
gray, black, brown or green also are
used. Regular rouge is used for pink
cheeks.
With bits of cardboard, scraps of
colored material, net, feathers and
lace, Norma designs clever and orig
inal hats, rivaling some Paris crea-
tions, for her eggs. Wrapping a bit
of colored material around the egg
in bandana fashion makes a dark

inal cardboard egg containers are
used to stand the models upright.
They are painted to match the hats.

The Easter Bunny's Visit

/ he went and in one big hippity-hop
they were in front of the first house.
Look inside" said the rabbit.
Inside some children were rolling
Easter eggs. One little one was
holding an image of the Easter rab-
bit. On one of the tables a cake was
sitting with "Hurray for Easter" on
the top. Myrtle was saying to her
self L do want to roll Easter eggs
Then they went to three more
houses, each one making Myrtle
want Easter more. At the NTH
house the Easter bunny said, Go
inside"
She did. and nobody saw her. for
they were looking at their Easter
eggs.
"0h. the good Easter bunny" said
small child. "He left us some East
er eggs for lunch"
The Easter bunny said, you will
not be happy for Easter until you do
something for somebody at that
time OF the year."
That was all Myrtle heard. She
seemed to be in her own bed with
the Easter bunny going back up the
moonbeam eScalator.
That morning and every other
Easter morning she put q nest of
eggs in poor child's house.

bugging is obnoxious to spectators.
Because swing and jitterbus are.
nearly inseparable, most students
either like or dislike both. June
Southworth. member of the club,
described their dependence aptly by
saying, You can't jitterbug to clas-
sical music"
"Jitterbug dancing is more fun"
according to Jack Andre. while
Tommie Voliva explains that every
one isn't able to master that art.
Raleigh Powell, one of the con-
servative students, likes swing mu-
sic but favors ballroom dancing.
Virginia Csonka. an ACCOMPLISHED
pianist, said, Classical music is
more expressive than swing since
no words are needed to convey the
feeling of the artist"
The readers can be the Judges
OF these questions of music and
dancing, because I feel that they are
to be enjoyed and that they should
not become the subject OF disputes.

we played table tennis, Switchboard,

was surrounded by deck chairs in
which passengers enjoyed sun baths.
During rough weather ropes were
strung across the decks for passen-

teacher, but not the Divine Savior
OF mankind. Hence. there would
have been no more reason to OBJ
serve His birthday anniversary than
that Of any other evangelist.
So, you see, Easter is really the
most important of all our holidays.
The bunny may not be quite so
much fun as Santa Claus and dyed
eggs may be somewhat less exciting
than Christmas stockings, but today
is the real day of days on the
Christian calendar, just the same.
And we should all try to remember
this as we enjoy our eggs and
candy and even as we show of our
new clothes in the Easter parade.

by preparing novel Easter eggs is

Happy Easter, boys and girls /!

Happy Easter, boys and girls!
BY the time you younger ones read
this, you will have checked up on
the bunnys deliveries-and, in all
probability, will be very happy, in
deed, AS for you older ones, you
probably will have tried out your
new togs-with, hope, equally
happy results.
But, regardless of your age, did
you ever stop to consider the i'm
portance of Easter?
All things considered. Easter and
Christmas are just about the grand
est of all the holidays. Thanksgiv-
ing and Independence Day are good
American holidays, but I think you
must agree that, when it comes to
having real fun. Christmas tops
them both. Yet Christmas owes its
very existence to Easter.
Most of us just take Christmas
and Easter for granted. We are
aware of the religious significance
OF the two holidays, of course, but
we don't stop to realize how all
important it really is. Christmas
we know, is the anniversary of the
birth OF Christ; Easter, we know
too. is the anniversary of His res
direction. But has 1t ever sunk
into our consciousness that If there
had been no resurrection there
would be no reason for celebrating
the birth?
X X
Christians believe that Jesus rose
from the dead after being crucified
His resurrection is accepted as proof
that He was the Son of God. Had
He failed to rise, then He would
