s. my school ITEMS Of WEST ( special to lha Star.) One of the most interesting and en joyable programs which we have had during our chapel period was given last Friday morning by the pupils of .Vi iss Howies third grad'- section B. Tie entire program was centered around Holland. This Dutch project which Miss Howies pupils have been wi i king on has been largely original work with the children. The composi tion an Holland was picked as the best from the grade, and was written after the children had studied Hol land and its queer though attractive people. The famous Dutch artist An ton Mauve painted “Spring” and the best composition written on that pic ture was chosen. “Kit” and “Kat” a litrle Dutch reader has been rear! by the children, and afterwards they wrote a poem of three verses telling »1 e characteristics of this dear luAe Dutch boy and girl “Kit and "Kat”. The pupils in this room also wrote original Dutch stories and the best one was called “A Skate on the Can al”. In addition to the above work which they have done in their room the y have learned Dutch songs and Have drawn Dutch pictures. At the conclusion of the program Fridaj morning a Dutch play was given in which the characters wore the native co ;ume. After working on this pro ject which is very worth while the pupils of the third grade have decid ed that Holland is one of their fav orite countries. The program follows: Horseshoe Orchestra—“Giant?” by first grade. Eest composition on Holland. Dutch Poem—“Kit and Kat” writ ten by 3rd grade and read by Gnett Spake. Song—“Katrina” by 3rd gradp.

I is 1 I CARBON KNOCK or motor deton ation aside from being annoying greatly reduces power efficiency combustion taking place before the complete rise of the piston. The mechanical method of correcting such knocks is to retard the spark which again reduces power efficiency. il i Many, gasoline mixtures have been devised which in a way might eliminate the knock but oftimes the remedy is worse than the ailment. In NO-NOX Motor Fuel we have the remedy without a* single harmful feature- it positively takes the carbon knock out of the motor^and j any motorist knows that this means easier and quicker acceleration, smoother running motor and More Power, less gear shifts and generally a more satisfactory operation of the car at a lower repair cost. . NO-NOX is Non-Noxious, Non-Poisonous and no more harmful to man or motor than ordinary gasoline. We ask you to try it, after that be your own judge. NO-NOX is priced only three cents per gallon higher than That Good Gulf Gasoline.
