THE TREE OF JUSTICE Vi'ewoka ift a tfarivlig Americas : town, and in the heart of -ift Tusincass centre there grove a huge oak ire The tree is a nuisance, ar.d the aith- ' orities decided to cut it down *rs oruer i to make room for another s.dop or to widen ti e road where lorries ..r . :.- I may go hustling to and fro all clay, j But when it became known n < kia- ! noma county that the old oak tree of . Wewoka v. as to be felled ail the Ked Indians raised a storm of protest- T/iey said that In ancient days, before white people came into the district and built i towns, this oak was called the Tree of * Justice. Under its branches the Indian tribesmen judged wrongdoer.-:, and ; the guilty ones were led to its : ank • and severely whipped. For a long time row the Bed in din n# of that region have followed oeaceful j occupation*, but they were #o wrTtnfu; at this threat to the Tree of Justice ; that they seemed ready to go on ih«* warpath again, and the bu*ine-«? men have had to promise to let the oak alone

AS APCTi TERN ALIGHTING AT TS NEST

But we know that to reach it he mna cover a distance of ii,cvv rm.es, and when he goes back north in the summer he has another 11,000 miles to cover- In his yearly travel is from north to south and back again he flies a distance that would take r_no almost round the world. The arctic tern sees more daylight than any other living being.* His summ-r months in the north are nearly all daylight, and during the four months in the south the sur. is below the horizon only a little while each day. IN IKE CLOUDS Near toe little town of Kalabaka, In western Thessaly, where the mountain spur* thrust abruptly into the plain, a nu mber of loftv pinnacles of rock rise sheer in air; and on the tops of these almost inaccessible heights more than twenty monasteries were built six hundred years ago. From their commanding position they are known under the general of meteor a a Greek word meaning lofty. The only way of gaining admission to them is by ladder, or by being hauled to the top in a rope net

FOR GIRL GUIDES Here - a rood idea for raising money at a bazaar : A large fancy apron Is made of any briar*, material, and dozens of tiny rockets are stitched or.. If pientv of s'.™ is allowed for the apron the*e are easily made. This apron is worn by ore of the helpers at the function, ar.-i ;n each pocket Is placed a small gift wrapped up in paper. .Sixpence or threepence faccording to the value tf the parcels; is paid, and the buyer 'elects a pocket and extracts the *: *; - tents. If the selection of the gifts is varied, great excitement is participated in in finding out what or.e has received.
