Pupils of the first and third grades

of a problem on their hands.
As you may have read on this page

program. Pat, papa bird owned
by Mrs. Margaret Scalfs third grade,
and Sweet, a mamma bird belonging
to Miss Marie Dickerson's first
grade, have four babies which were
Matched in school, under the watch
full eyes of the entire student body
and, of course. the faculty. too.
Sweet must have liked being a
mamma bird, because she no sooner
got her babies to the point where
they could be separated from her
and each other than she up and laid
another round Of eggs. The problem
Is what to do with them.
The only suggestion I can think
of-and it isn't very original, admit
is to let her hatch them.
Like every other boy, Billy and
Bobby Kramp (see picture) wanted
cowboy suits. I can remember the
time when expected to find a cow
boy suit under my Christmas tree
every year. Usually, got what !
wanted, but occasionally, Santa
Claus crossed me up, as the saying
is, and brought me an Indian suit,
instead. 1 wasn't very happy about
the substitution. A cowboy suit is
one thing, as every boy between, say,
4 and 10 will understand. and an
Indian suit is something else again.
But whether I stepped out on
Christmas as cowboy or an In
dian, the suit was Of such flimsy
material that it lasted about four
days and then, with the suddenness
of war-whoop, fell apart.
The situation is different with
Billy and Bobby Their mother,
Mrs. Robert C. Kramp, wanted
them to have suits that would last
until they outgrew them. And
that's the kind of suits she made
for them.
Mrs. Kramp, who makes all her
own clothes and most of her two
children's, bought pattern and the
necessary material and went to
work. The blue-and-white suits are
made of gabardine and embroidered
in green and req, and they cost
less than 81 each. The black cow
hoy hats and the tan-and-cream
shoes are, OF course, store bought"
The Kramp boys suits are far
sturdier than the ones I used to-
crave. They've lasted nearly six,
months, so far, and still are as good
as eew. I'd sure like to corral me
one just like 'em.
