game pack-up. Betty started the game
by saying, 81 packed my trunk and
in it l put an artists album" Billy
was next and he said, 81 packed my
trunk and in it l put an artists al
bum and a bag of beans" The game
progressed in this manner, each one
putting in, according to alphabetical
order, the oldest things of which he
could think, and remembering and re-
peating also, each time, everything
that had gone into the trunk before.
After this game, Mother handed
each one an apple and before they ate
them, each child guessed how many
seeds there would be in his apple.
They saved each seed, and then at
the end each checked the whole num-
ber of seeds found in his apple with
the number he had guessed.
AS the journey ended, all agreed it
had been a very short and pleasant
day.

They had been on the road about a
couple of hours when Betty and Billy
began to show signs of restlessness.
"Wish we'd stayed at home," Billy
remarked ominously.
"We'd be playin' games if we had
stayed at home," Betty answered, fol-

usual.

"What ?" demanded Betty; and all

with interest. For when Mother said,

was sure to happen.
"I've been thinking that games do
not have to be played in any special
places" Mother continued. eve can
play just as nice games right here in
the car as anywhere else, only they
will not be quite the same kind of

"What kind of games will they be (?
Of course we can't play running and
jumping games," Billy reasoned.
"Oh, no." Mother laughed. "But we
have a chance to think up some new
ones that we do not play at home.
Now take this one for instance" and
she opened her pocket book and hand
ed each of the children Lincoln-head
penny. "Now see who can be the

everyone ready? All right! Here is
the first question: Can you find the

"America," answered Betty prompt

Tennis experts had Barney Welsh
pitted against young Dayey Johnsen
in the final Of the District mems
open tournament, which was to get
under way today at Edgemoor Club,
but withheld their forecasts Of the
eventual winner pending develop

These predictions are subject to
change without notice, but the mere
fact that the net bugs concede
Johnsen q chance against the sparse,
timber Welsh who once ruled the
city's tennis colony with m iron
hand. Is indicative Of the trend.
Both may be ousted long before the
final with approximately 70 racket
