Games for Children at By MARJORIE HOWE DIXON At Christmas it seems especially appropriate to resurrect all the old games that have accused children for ages past. Some of them are best played out of doors while others may be played either within or without. One of these, a general favorite, is mentioned in one of the Christmas celebrations in Dicken's "Pickwick Papers," and still earlier in Washington Irving's Sketch Book. This "Blind Man's Buff" Everyone is so familiar with this good old game which will never lose its ability to amuse, so that the rules for playing it need not be given here. "Hide and Seek" is another of these old standbys. One variation of this game might be mentioned here. We children called It "Cheese It." One child was "It." At goal he covered his eyes while he counted ten calling out "Cheese it" at the end of ten. He then opened there is held a secret consultation of each side with its respective captain, in which signals are arranged. Then one group with its captain leaves for hiding. They travel for some distance, marking their course with arrows in chalk on sidewalks, fences or buildings. When they are safely hidden, their captain returns to the other group. The second group starts out to find them, guided by the arrows. As they continue, the captain of the hidden children, calls signals which indicate how near the pursuers are approaching. When he thinks the pursuers are far enough from the goal, he calls, "Run, Sheep, Run!" The hidden group then run into goal while the others try to arrive first. It then becomes their turn to hide. There is something so fascinating about this game that children will play it for days running. Young people of high school age are all familiar with "Last Couple Out." This is often played in sum- Washington Irving's Sketch Book. This "Blind Man's Buff" Everyone is so familiar with this good old game which will never lose its ability to amuse, so that the rules for playing it need not be given here. "Hide and Seek" is another of these old standbys. One variation of this game might be mentioned here. We children called it "Cheese It." One child was "It." At goal he covered his eyes while he counted ten calling out "Cheese It" at the end of ten. He then opened his eyes and anyone he saw moving had to return to goal. When all had disappeared from sight he hunted until he found one of them, whom he must precede to goal. This child then became "It" and the game continued as before. This game of course is equally interesting whether played indoors or out, "Fox and Geese," another old favorite, is best played out in the snow. A large circle is tramped in the snow, with two diameters crossing it at right angles. The center thus formed is "Safety." The Fox is chosen and is "It" as in other games. He must catch one of the "geese." The other children, the "geese," run around and across the circle, no one leaving the beaten patchs, of course. Any one standing at "Safety" cannot be tagged, but he must leave at once on the approach of another "goose." Once a goose is tagged, he becomes "fox" and must chase the others in turn. Several of the old games involve running, which makes them just right for out of doors in cold weather. Where there is a large group of children, that ancient pastime "Run, Sheep, Run" will be found lively and full of interest. The children are evenly divided, each group selecting a captain. Then children, calls signals which indicate how near the pursuers are approaching. When he thinks the pursuers are far enough from the goal, he calls, "Run, Sheep, Run!" The hidden group then runs into goal while the others try to arrive first. It then becomes their turn to hide. There is something so fascinating about this game that children will play it for days running. Young people of high school age are all familiar with "Last Couple Out." This is often played in summer but can be just as interesting in winter. Where a barn dance was being held this game could be easily managed indoors, just so there was plenty of space in which to play. For those who may never have indulged in this sport the simple rules are here given. Boys and girls line up as for a march, in pairs. The front couple calls, "Last Couple Out." The end couple of the line separate and run for position at the front of the line. The couple there try to tag them before they reach it. Failing this, they drop out of the game. If they do tag the last couple before they reach the front position those two then drop out of the game. Thus the game continues until one couple is left triumphant. For indooros, one form of charades is called "New York." Here two groups are necessary, each with a captain. One group leaves the room, and selecting a name, or a word of several syllables, arranges to act out the syllables in sections. For instance, take the name New-foundland." The first syllable can be handled in dialogue in which the word "new" is mentioned prominently.

CALIF. POULTRY SHOW BIG SUCCESS The most outstanding results accomplished by the Poultry Show committee were of two-fold. First, a large number of people visited the show who would not have done so had an admission fee been charged, not that the committee was trying to feature a crowd, but out of the ten thousand or more people that passed through the doors, between Tuesday and Saturday, hundreds saw birds of all breeds which are second to none in the United States. In fact, the free show brought out a dormant interest in poultry and aroused an enthusiasm that will play a big part in the poultry industry of Orange county. Second, the local exhibitors were able to place their birds alongside some of the prize winners from other parts of the state, and in this way observe the pounts which disqualified their birds or placed them in the lead, as the case might be. In other words, the fellow who has been striving to develop a breed along certain lines, was given the opportunity to place his birds in the hands of competent judges for their final analysis. This is the far-reaching effect of the poultry show. And it is with a great deal of pride that the committee could announce the names of Orange county people, as the winners in both utility and fancy classes of not only breed classes but for entire show. Among these groups we find two that deserve honorable mention. Mr. W. B. Hatch of the Will Hatch Poultry Ranch at Tustin, won in fancy class.

White Leghorn pullet, together with several other thirds and fourths. The first prize cockerel was also the best in the entire show and the judge said of this: "He is almost an exact picture of the winner at Madison Square Garden Show of 1920." The second prize cock won over the first prize cock at the Oakland Show of this year in very close competition. Mr. Fred. Heying of Anaheim, winner of the famous "Princess Pat" Rhode Island hen, won innumerable prizes on his coop of Reds. The coveted prize however, the best female in the show was also awarded one of his beautiful pullets. Judge Goodacre of Los Angeles, himself a Red breeder, said of this pullet: "She is as near perfect in color and general uniformity throughout as we can hope to find." Mr. Alvin Block of Costa Mesa, likewise a local man and a very very new poultry man, won the first prize pullet and additional prizes in the utility class.
