In playing baseball we start with the bases and lay them out. Next comes the players. For a real game we have nine on each side but we can play wito two, three or four on_each side. If there are two on each side it re- quires two outs and two bases. If three or more play it requires three out and four bases. To play the game we also need = ba: and aa ball, the gloves and masks are also important. The captain of the team furnishes the bats, balls, etc. ‘When we start in playing and thers are two teams the visiting team hes first raps. In our school we have a team and the weakest side gets first raps. 1f the ball hits you, you can take your base, if you get four ‘balls, you can take your base. When you hit the ball run to all the bases. Which ever team gets the most runs wins, If you hit a ball and run to all the bases without stopping it's a home run. A month ago there was a ball game down at the naval base between Paw- tucket and the base. The base team got four runs and the Pawtucket nine got four runs, but fin- ally the base team made a good hit and won the game. I was glad they won, for T favored that side.

SOPHIE PFLOFA, Age 10 Ledyard Attending Teacher's Wedding. Dear Unele Jed: In this letter I am going to write and tell you about going o my teacher's weddmg. Her name was Olive Hazel Guile and the man's name that she was married to was Dewey Ma- nila Taylor.. It was Wednesday. June 15, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It was at her home. In the homse they had a beautifel arch made of laurels and ferns. They bad the house decorated with roses. ‘When they were ready to mmarch some man sat down to the piano and played the wecaing march. The first one was the minister, Mr. Robbins; then the bride and her father, Mr. Guile Then came the bridegroom and his brother.

In the rose was a ring. Mr. Rob- bins took it out and passed it to the bride and she pased it to the bridegroom. Then he put it on her finger and Mr. Robins pronounced them married. Then he said that we must now call them man and wife, or Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. Miss Guile was dressed in white and carried a-bouquet of white roses. Mr. Taylor was dressed in brown. After they .were married we had cake and punch and at last of all we had a dish of ice cream. Then lots of them threw rice and con- fetti on them. When they got their wed- Qing clothes changed and ‘were ready to start some of them threw more rice and confetti on them, and when they got into the auto they put .wires, pails, rags, shoes and rubbers on the auto. They were going to Westerly to get a train for New Haven, to stay for a week on their wedding trip. LENA IRENE MAINE, Age 12, Norwich, R. D. 3. The Boyhood ef Benjamin Franklin. Dear Uncle Jed: Franklin'’s hoyhood was full of hard work, His education was very scanty. but he early showed a remarkable fondness for books. He once said that he could not remember when he did not know how to read. He'was placed at school in his eighth year. This famous man is said to have invented stoves. In his tenth year he was taken from school to assist his father, who was a tallow chandler and a soapmaker. The lad worked at this distasteful business until his 12th year, when he was ap-| prenticed .to his brother te learn the trade of a printer. At the age of 17 as a result of a quarrel with his brother he ran away from home and finally found himself in Philadelphia with a dollar and a quarter in his pocket. One of Frank-| lin’s most celebrated writings is “Poor Richard's Almanac.” RAFFIE DOMICO. Age 13. Moosup. A Greedy Dog. yDear Uncle Jed: One day a dog was mouth. On his way he had to cross a By chance he looked into the brook and saw another dog With a piece of meat in his mouth: He made up his mind that he had to have this piece of meat, so he snapped at the dog in the water. ‘As he went to open his jaws the piece of meat that he had in his mouth fell out and he never saw it again. ROSE PARANZINO, Age 12. Moosup. 1 Our Flaz Dear Uncle Jed: This is the first time I have written to the Wide Awakes. I will write about our American flag. Aur. American flag is red, white and j blue. The white stors represent the forty-eight states in our country. The red and white stripes represent the thirteen colonies. Our American flag is_red, white and We are supposed to salute it every time we see it. I think a good American would dfe to save bis flag. Our flag should not be burned or used for rubbish, for our flag is the flag of 11l flags. When strangers come into our country and sees cur flag, they know that it means to them freedom, justice | and truth. BERTHA COBLENTZ. Age 12 Versailles. The Toys' Party. Dear Uncle Jed: One night a little boy named Jack had left his playroom and went to eat his supper. His mother said Jack, is your playroom in order?’ “Yes, mother.” said he. “I am glad that you rEmembered it tonight,” said his mother. Little Jack sat down to emjoy his sup- per. After sunper he got ready for bed and in a very few minutes was fast leep. But in his playroom things had just waked up. The clock struck 12. What a noise! 1 crépt out of my little | hole in the playroom and what do you think I saw? Even I as a mouse had never seen anything so astonishing be- fore. All the playthings were standing closely together and were talking in such loud voices I could not hear my breathe. 1 tried to hear what they but all T could make out was “L. a dance,” “No, let's have a picnic,” pienic, you dunce, let's have a cooking cla “Who wants to cook? We don't Jack does that.” little Ned, the po said: ow, everybody listen; we will have a party.” Then evervobdy shouted “Hur- rah for Neddie!” and they began to put up their lunches. put on their old clothes and made everything ready for a jolly party, Then all at once Jennie, the rab- it. who was a little jealous of Neddie. said: “You all think that Neddie is so smart in telling us what to have, now where will we have it?" Then they all shouted all sorts of places, but little | Jennie said: “We will have it in the sit- tinz room, where there is a fireplace and it is 1 nd warm.” “Oh, won’t that be fun!” they said. “Let's have Neddie and Jennie lead us in the march into the have to ¢og) Finally So they all rushed for their partne: grabbed their lunches and appointed Pot- ter, the clown, to beat the drum. When they got into the sitting room they play- ed games, ate their lunches. and just as they were playing “hide and seek,” and others digesting their food, the clock | struck—one, two, three, four, five!

BERNICE M. BURDICK, Age 13. Danielson. The Happiest Day of My Life. Dear Uncle Jed: We held a pienic at South Coventry lake on the last day of our schoo! )ear We left the morning, arri 10 o'clock. It was such a brigit sunny morning we walked part of ‘the way, but rode the greater distance. On our journey we saw many sheep grazing in & green vasture, a flock of wild geese swimming in a.pond, an aero- | plane flving high above our heads, an orchard filled with pretty blossoms, and a cemetery near the beautiful lake. I enjoved the lunch becaust we had such nice chocolate frosted cookies, ba- | nanas, oranges, apples, fruit, candy and | chool at 8 e'cleck in the ng at South Coventry lake ice cream. Ia th - afternoon I rowed many miles A an atiractive island. waves rollea quite high and tire sery hlue and clear. but later msor, from the raya of the set- aisapnointed. when we had to our homeward journer. because I had spent one of the happiest days in my life near the lake. FREIDA KRAUSE, Age 14. Willimantie. My Birthday Party, Dear Unele Jed: My 11th birthday was 1921. My mother was away isiting 'a_few days before my birthday and 1 had written to her and asked her it 1 might have a wrist watch for my birthday present. When I received an- other ietter from her I was very much disappointed when she wrote T could not have one. When she came home she told me not to cry if I didn't get a wrist watch, and T told her I wouldn't. The morning of my birthday my mother gave me 2ll my presents. After she started to grease my nose, but I wasn’t going to let her, so she said if T didn't let her T wouldn't get the other present €ne had, so I let her, and she handed me a small box with tissue paper around it. I opened it and to my great 60 miles. On our way back we met many people going to work. As we reached home we talked a long time {about what our grandmothers said. My | idea, as usual. | spent | might have to be contended with. Fire surprise I found a gold Waltham watch and bracelet. The bracelet was too large for me, but that soon was fixed by taking two links out of it. I put my arms around my mother and cried for joy, thanking her a great many times. In_the fevening about 7 o'clock I had a party. Pifteen girls were invited, all of whom were schoolmates, First we play- ed a_few games, then we had our re- frcenments. We had cocoa, sandwiches, cauay. baskets made of oranges, and last of al! mother came in with a large cake with il candles on it which were burn- ing. 1 blew the candles out.and eut the cake and we each had a piece of it. The children went home that night singing, so I have an idea they had a good time. I received many presents. DOROTHY LILLIBRIDGE, Age 11. Voluntown. A Journey by Airplane, 1990. Dear TUncle Jed: One mornhig I thought T would go to ride before break- fast. I went out to the garage to get my airplane when my friend next .docor said’ she was going out for a ride. too. So we went together for a ride of about friend said she was glad that they did not have great telephone wires and poles stuck up fer them to bump into. She was very thankful to the man or woman who imvented the wireless telephone. I said that grarimother and grandfather would never 2% anywhere it they always 20 in automobiles and when they are in such a hurry a tire will blow out. We went in and had our breakfast, after which we went to work. I live in Boston but T work in Hattford. I eall it a“nice ride, but grandmother and grandfather say ' that if they were going they would want two days to go in. I am glad I didn't live in those days. MILDRED TILLINGHAST, Age 13. Danielson. _ My Garden. Dear Uncle Jed: This is the third time I have written, and I want to tell you about my garden. I have beans, potatoes, sweet corn, peas, radishes, beets, car- Tots, parsnips, lettuce, cucumbers and squashes in my zarden. I have had some radishes to eat already. MARY IDABELLE PHILLIPS, Age 9. Hampten Station. The ean. Dear Uncle Jed: Did you ever, on a| warm summer day, wander along a| pleasant road leading through an old forest? And did you stop snd sit down under the swaying boughs of a beech tree and listen to the squirrels chattering among its sunny leaves? o The birds sang merrily all about you, and wiid flowers of ‘many colors peeped above the tall grasses to swelcome -you. Suddenly the soft music of a tiny stream fell upon your ear, as it glided along a mossy grove and trickled merri- ly into an old log water trough. How like the gleam of silver it looked against the background of delicate sprigs, trail- ing vines and deep green moss. Bending low. you tonched your dry lips to the pool and took a cool. delicious draught. What a weicome gift nature to the weary, dusty traveler! VIRGINIA HAGGERTY, Age 13. Norwich. from Canoeing.

In referring to his remarkable res- toration to health by Tanlac, he said: “About five years ago I suffered a general breakdown. My principal trouble was nervous indigestion. My appetite was very poor and my food seldom agreed with me, and I had to live on a very restricted diet. I suf- fered a great deal from headaches and dizzy spells; I had severe pains across the small of my back and was badly constipated most of the time. In fact, 1 was so weak and rundown I was not able to attend to my duties. “This condition made me very nerv- ous and 1 could not sleep at night. Frequently I would lie awake most all night and was in that condition more or less for five years.

Such a mask would not be serviceable in a mine or other inclosed space where air contained a high percentage of poison- ous gas. Nevertheless, it was obvious that a gas mask suitable for use by firemen by workers dealing with dangerous chemicals and by others needing simi- lar protection, was urgently demanded, and so the bureau of mines, at its experimental laboratories in Pittsburgh set to work to produce the article re- quired, The mask is merely a filter, and its wearer must breathe the air by which he is surrounded.
