Here's Good News! The Editors of OUR BoYS AND Girls have just succeeded in obtaining THE MOST WONDERFUL SERIES OF STORIES that we think were ever written for children of all ages in any language. They are called WiOOES F THE AND ARE BY ROBERT W. CHAMBERS In this series of stories, full of sus tained interest and delightful imagery, Mr. Chambers creates a new Gard'.n Land and a Forest Land for all chil dren. Here Peter and Geraldine find the fairies not make-believe, unreal crea tures that live only within the covers of a book, but earth-fairies, butterflies, moths, humming-birds, singing trees and all the wonderful dwellers in garden and wood, who have so much to teach children about their wonderful lives. Each story, while complete in itself, stimulates a curiosity as to another in cident to follow and another outdoor wonder that is waiting for the children. These stories will begin in our issue of April 20th, and will run in the fol lowing order: CAPTAIN WOODCOCK and the FOREST DRUM MER. MOLLY MOLE. AUNTY ANT. THE HIDERS. THE SEEKERS. THE HOME TRAIL. They will be beautifully illustrated in colors by Emily Benson Knipe and Damian T. Russom. Ann Ac of Womidccs.

In the matter of history, there never was an aye when so many interestitiK tilings were happening. The old, old Christian countries of Servia and nulgaria anil Greece are steadily taking his country .way from the Turk.

LUTZ II KM the desk blotter is too dirty to use any longer, do not throw it away, but save it for sonic rainy day when you do not know how to amuse yourself. Then take out the blot'er. and look care fully at the splotches of ink which are like, and then proceed to increase the like ness by a few strokes of your pen or pen cil. For instance, to a blot which looks scattered all over it. At first, you will sec nothing but irregular blots, dashes, drops and dabs of ink, but regard them atten tively for a while, and you will soon sec a good many vague resemblances to things you know. Many of them, where the flour- ishmg stroke ol an unending letter has been blotted, look like fish, or tadpoles. Now, using1 all of your imagination, try to see what each discoloration looks most like a smiling profile of a clown, add a peaked cap and a ruffle. Another splash of ink can be turned into a man's face by drawing a hat and a collar. Sometimes there will be a stn lk of ink that can be made to look like a cigar by adding a few lines to indicate smoke. Maybe, though, the blotter and the desk pad have just been replaced by fresh ones, spotless in other words, with no ink spots on which you can try your creative skill. In that case you will have to make ink blots on scraps of paper, or with a brush and some black paint haphazardly make blotches. They will never be, how ever, so good or so surprisingly varied as those which have been the result of chance and accident. With the white paint from your color box put in eyes and other interesting de tails to heighten the effect. Hcrviv veanm . aivi:ktinkmi:nth.

The use of automobiles for every pur pose of transportation began not more than ten years ago, while printing, war fare, manufactures and every line of com merce have changed all of their aspects.
