I 1W AAvetvturw«f RtygedpAwi
and Kaaqedy Andy
| iy Mmy W1U
Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy
and the kind Cookie people planned
fooling Hookie the Goblin. You see,
Hookie had captured the nice, kind
hearted Snitznoor-e and had him tied
to achalr. Then too, little Weeky
was up on the roof of the Goblin's
house and could not get down; it was
much too high, and he would get a
hard bump if he Jumped.
So Raggedy Ann, who always
seemed able to think of ways out of
difficulties planned to disguise her
self and go to Hookie’s house to sell
something. Then, when Hookie
opened the door, Raggedy Andy and
the Cookie people were to rush
through the door and rescue the nice,
kind Snitznoodie.
Raggedy Ann disguised herself as
a Witch, then followed by all her
friends she went to Hookie’s house.
Raggedy Ann carried a little basket
on her arm and In it were 11 cookies,
six cream puffs and nine Jelty larts.
Goblins are quite fond of these
things, and no wonder, they are very
nice. When Raggedy Andy and the
Cookie people were safely hid at the
side of the Goblin’s door. Raggedy
Ann walked up to the house crying,
so that the Goblin would hear, “Nice
fresh cream puffs! Nice fresh
cookies covered with candy icing!
Nice fresh Jelly tarts! Who wishes
to buy. Who wishes to try?”
Hookie the Goblin was upstairs
teasing the nice, kind Snitznoodie.
“Aha, Mister Snitznoodie,” the Gob
lin was saying, "Just as soon as I
can borrow a sausage grinder I shall
make Snitznoodie sausage! Yum,
yum!”
The nice, kind Snitznoodie did nor
reply to Hookie the Goblin, because
he knew it would do no good! “Gob
lins are mean creatures!” the Snitz
noodie thought, “So why should I
quarrel with him?”
“Listen!” the Goblin cried.
“I haven’t said a word!” the Snitz
noodle said.
"I know it!" the Goblin replied,
"But you might say something, and
I wish to hear what that person is
crying!"
“I did not Intend saying any
thing!" the Snitznoodle said, "So you
may listen all you wish!"
"Will you please be still?" the
Goblin said.
"Yes, I will!” the Snitznoodle re
plied.
Of course, the Goblin could not
hear what Raggedy Ann was saying
when both he and the Snitznoodle
were talking, so he went down stairs
and opened a crack in the door,
“What are you saying, Witch?” the
Goblin asked of Raggedy Ann.
“I am selling nice fresh cream
puffs, Jelly tarts and lovely cookies
with candy icing on them!”
Suddenly the Goblin opened the
door; and catching Raggedy Ann,
pulled her Inside the house, slam
ming the door behind.
The Goblin was so quick, Raggedy
Andy and his Cookie friends had no
time to jump inside. Then the Gob
lin poked his head out of the upstairs
window and laughed. "You thought
you could fool me, didn’t you. I
knew it was Raggedy Ann by her
shoe button eyes! Now, I have the
Snitznoodle, little Weeky and Rag
gedy Ann captured, and it was I
who fooled you!" Then the mean
little creature shut the window and
Raggedy Andy and the Cookie people
walked sadly away for there was no
need In staying to listen to the Gob
lin making fun of his captives.
Hookle the Goblin had wanted to
borrow a sausage grinder so that he
could make Snltznoodle sausage.
The nice, kind Snltznoodle was
tied to a chair In the Goblin’s house.
And Raggedy Ann was also a prison
er in the Goblin's house.
And little Weeky was up on top of
the Goblin's house and could not get
down. Now Raggedy Andy stood
waiting at the Goblin's door with Mrs.
Cookie, food chopper under his arm.
A food chopper and a sausage
grinder are almost the Bame thing.
Raggedy Andy could hardly wait
until Hookie opened the iron door.
He could hear the Goblin running
down stairs, "clippity! cllpplty!” his
footsteps getting nearer all the time,
i Finally, Raggedy Andy could hear
the Goblin unlocking the Iron door.
The key went, "click! click!” then the
door was opened just a teeny weeny
crack and the Goblin peeked out with
one eye.
Raggedy Andy held the sausage
grinder behind his back.
"Are you trying to fool me. Rag
gedy Andy?” the Goblin asked, "I do
not see any sausage grinder!”
“That is because you are only
peeking out with one eye!" Raggedy
Andy said, "How can you expect to
see a great big sausage grinder with
only one eye? Everyone knows It
takes two eyes to see a sausage
grinder!”
Then Hookle, the Goblin opened ihe
door a little more so that his Icng
nose stuck out.
"Hold the sausage grinder up close
so that I can see It betore I open
the door and give you a hard ihump,
"He is well-meaning, but common
place. *

Raggedy Andy!” the Goblin howled.
Raggedy Andy did not tell the
Goblin that it would not hurt him
even if the Goblin did give him a
hard thump.
Instead, Raggedy* Andy, quick as
a wink, pushed the.sausage grinder
on the Goblin’s long nosa and gave
the sausage grinder hand's a twist.
"Wow!” the Goblin howled as he
kicked the door open and sat down
hard upon the door step.
Raggedy Andy let go of the food
chopper sausage grinder and said,
“Don't try to pull it off of your long
nose Mister Hookie, or you will loss
your nose!" then he rushed inside to
where Raggedy Ann was locked in a
closet. It only took a moment for
Raggedy Andy to unlock the closet
door. Then he and Raggedy Ann
rushed upstairs and cut ^the ropes
which held the nice, kind Snltznoodle,
a prisoner in the chair.
Hookie, the Goblin was still sitting
on his front door step with the sau
sage grinder fastened to his nose.
Raggedy Ann gently unfastened it;
for, she had a candy heart and did
not like to see anyone get hurt.
“Now! I shail give the Goblin the
hardest thump he ever, ever re
ceived'-” the Snltznoodle said as he
rolled up his sleeves. And he would
have don* it too, if Raggedy Ann had
not said”
“No, Mister Snltznoodle, please do
not give him a thump! See how red
his nose* is now! 1 am sure it is
better to let him go, so that he can
sit down and think how mean he has
been!” So the Goblin, very glad that
he did not get the hard thump,
jumped up and ran inside his house.
"Anyway,” he called out the keyhole
"little Weeky is still on fhe roof!”
And the three friends had to plan a
. way to rescue little Weeky.
“Oh. goody!” Mrs. Cookie cried
when she saw Raggedy Ann and Rag
gedy Andy and little Weekly and the
nice kind Snitznoodle coming to the
house, "Raggedy Andy has rescued
Raggedy Ann and the nice, kind
Snitznoodle and little Weeky from
mean little Hookie Goldin! “Come
right In!” she said, "I have Just put
everything on the table and we will
have a fine dinner!”
“Ooh! I’m hungry!” the nice kind
Snitznoodle laughed, “I haven't had
anything but wind sandwiches to eat
for a long time!”
“And I haven’t had anything to
eat for a long time!” little Weeky
said. Mrs. Cookie kuew Just what her
friends liked to eat.
On the table was a great big cake
turkey, stufTed with Ice cream. And
pink lemonade and red soda pop.
It was a very nice dinner and every
one enjoyed It very much. Then
after they had finished eating tlieir
dinner, Mrs. Cookie gave them each
a great big lolly pop.
It was while they were enjoying
the lolly pops that a very hard knock
cnme upon the front door. IJangt
Bang! Bang! llko that.
It made the little cake and cookie
house shake, so hard a lot of the
candy ceiling planter rattled down the
floor.
“It sounds like a giant!” little
Weeky said.
"If It Isn’t, it Is surely a very rude
person to knock so loud!” Raggedy
Ann said, “I would not go to the
door, Mrs. Cookie!”
"It Is probably an agent, wishing
to sell something!” Raggedy Andy
said, “They always knock loud as If
they were really very much in a
hurry, but after you reach the door,
you can hardly get rid of them!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” came the
loud knocking again and Raggedy
Andy peeped out of a window, "It’s
a strange looking creature!” he said.
“Maybe it is the Hungry Howloon!”
Raggedy Ann said.
"Who Is it, knocking on my door?”
Mrs. Cookie asked.
"It’s me, the Hungry Howloon!"
a loud voice replied.
“Then you can just run away home
to your mama!” Mrs. Cookie said.
“But, I haven’t any, mama!” the
Hungry Howloon replied very loudly,
“And besides, I'm hungry and I want
you to open the door so that I can
eat every one of the cookie people!”
“But you can’t eat the cookie peo
ple, Mr. Howloon!" Raggedy Ann
said.
“Hookie the GoOlin aald I could!"
the Howloon replied, “He said they
were made of chocolate cookies and
covered with nice candy icing!”
'They are!” Raggedy Ann replied,
“But they do not wish to be eaten!”
“Then will someone please tell me
what I am to do?” the Hungry How
loon asked, “The longer I stand here,
the hungrier I become!”
• Why don't you run back to tne
Goblin's house and ask him to give
you something to eat?” Raggedy
Andy asked.
"I never thought of that!" the
Howloon said as he ran down the
path and jumped the fence.
“My! I’m glad he has gone!” Mrs.
Cookie laughed, “I always feel
crumbly when anyone talks of eating
me!”
“We shall not let anyone eat you!”
the nice kind Snitznoodle promised.

Diameter of Universe

The diameter of the universe is

times the distance that light, traveling
180,000 miles per second, covers In one

This is the conclusion of Prof. Archi

North Carolina, given in a communica
tion in Science, the official organ of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science. He assumed that
space and the universe are construct
ed according to Einstein’s general rela

“It would lake a ray of light, travel

second, 1,000 million years to go
around the universe," Professor Hen
