At the headquarters in New York it is stated that 160,000 Camp Fire Girls are preparing to take part in song festivals and sing- ing contests between Camp Fire groups in clties and in rural districts between March 17 and 30, in cele- bration of the twelfth birthday of the organization on March 17. A national music group honor has been de- signed for the group winning each 'of these local singing contes and the name of the group will be placed lon the music honor roll of the na- tional organization. Rules governing the contests fol- low: Final contests and festivals must not be held earlier than March 17 and not later than March 31; all contesting groups must sing the same two songs, “Walking Song” and “Sheltering Flame”; musical ex- perts, such as school music super- visors and musicians, should consti- tute the board of judges: preparation for contests and festivals must be made by learning the Camp Fire songs written for the organization by Neldlinger. The “recipe for good singing.” which has been sent out to Camp Fire groups throughout the country to assist~them In preparing for the singing contests, reads as follows: First, each girl must memorize the words of the Camp Fire songs; s ond, arrangements should be made for expert musical advice at re- hearsals during the next three months; third, care should be taken with enunclation and diction; fourth, part of each meeting during January and February should be -spent In practicing the Camp Fire songs; fifth, each girl should be trained to sing elther first or second part; sixth, the girl who cannot 8ing should be made business manager or librarian for the group; seventh, plans must be made immediately for intergroup elimination contests in cities or among the groups in rural districts.

It also costs a great deal of money to stop a speed- ing train at same little town just to pick up three or four letters or deliver three or four letters. In or- der to deliver the mail to these places and to collect it as often as possible, two things have been done. Mall is delivered to these tiny towns merely by throwing it frém the train as the train speeds by. To collect the mall {s another thing entirely, and a device like the one shown in the fllustration has been invented to do the job. A mail sack is tied, as shown, and as the train speeds by a steel arm catches the sack and hurls it into the raillway mail car, where it is sorted. This is only one of the many in- ventions and. machines which the post offices use. They have all sorts of trick devices for making the dif- ferent things they need. One machine is used to make the siiding clasps which go on the mail pouches and keep them tightly closed, It s easy enough to close the bag, but not so easy to et it back open once this clasp is sild into place; of course, there is a little trick to it.

Tommy laughed and Brother Groundhog roared. When Tommy got through laughing, Brother still going strong. Tommy stood beside ths wood stove and waited until he could have an op- portunity to resume his work. “Heems to amuss you a good deal | Brother Groundhog, Tommy finally re- | marked, when Btother Groundhog seemed réady to go on laughing for another half hour. “‘Taln't that I been laughin' sat, Brother Turtle, 4 Brother Ground- hog. I been laughin’ ‘bout how funny you looks, standin’ there with yo' cost- teils on fire.” Tommy had been standing wiah his back to th fire, and his coat-tails were burned clear up to the middle of his back. After that Tommy had them bobbed, and he still wears his coat- taily that way now, with scarcely any tail at the back. Tommy had a taste for high-flown language, and he used to writs lettérs that went something like this: “The crowning achievement of my lifs has been the extraction of pleasure from a life of pain. This has only been accomplished by bridging over the diffi- cultiés usualiv encountered, and by taking the teeth out of the dangers in- My life, while success- ful In the main, has been more or less {nlatd with periéds of depression,” and s0 on. 1t was really quite professional la guage; some of ahe letters were pub- lished in the local papers, and added greatly to Tommy's local prestige.
