The brook or running stream of
natural outdoor water gives a variety
Of chances for the man who wishes to
live his life Alright. The brook can
be converted, without being diverted,
into a swimming pool for boys by
building Il dam at the point where the
banks do u little extra shelving and
tend to form Il natural basin. The bot
tom should be spaded out and made
more of n reservoir in It's capacity and
shape. The dam Itself can be made by
n family of boys at the cost of the
lumber and nails involved. The EN-
banknents are sodded. The sides Of
the spillway are made of wooden posts
driven into the ground and boarded
up. This makes n box up affair, or
rather two boxes, one ON each side Of
the stream. These boxes are filed

sodded embellishments run across the
valley or depression Of the brook hol-
low to the higher ground. BY means
Of a lcver-a pole playing into a
wooden jawed socket and weighted
with a rock or pieces Of iron)-the
water gate can be opened against n
strong Roadway Of water. The water
flows over the top Of the spillway
when 1t Is closed, and by raising the
gate the pond can be emptied or re-
duced to the normal level Of the brook.

Chinatown was a scene OF the widest

The men most dangerously hurt, four
