Things Boys MayMake From Boxes

" LTHOUGH there are only a few
~ days left before Christmas, there is
still time for the boy who is anything
OF an amateur wood worker to make at
least one attractive Christmas gift for one
of his relatives or friends. There is no
time, of course. for elaborate work Of any
kind, but there are many things which are
easily made and which will give n great
deal of pleasure TO persons of various
ages. If one is trying to get up n last
moment gift Of this sort il is well to con
slider first what can be done with boxes.
II is usually possible 10 buy for a few
cents light wooden boxes of various sizes
and shapes, or perhaps you have such a
box In the storcroom or cellar. In auv
event you are quite sure 10 be able 10
obtain one for very small cost il you
set out in earnest upon the quest
Now as TO what you may make from il.
The FIRST person TO consider is your moth
er. and here il something which you can
mike from various size boxes for her.
Onc OF the most useful things is a shirt
waist box THIS may be any length more
than twenty y-scycn inches, about the same
width and as deep as you like. 1t is n
good plan, If you can do so, 10 get box
whose length will be the same as the
width OF n window III the room for which
the box is intended. as IL is very conycn.
len, TO have the box 6t Just below the
window. 1t can then have a cushion
placed on il and will serve as window

close together they may be taken Of and
put neatly together again. The top is

OF being kept ont in The room the box is
TO be kept under couch OF bed you
should have. instead of the casters, small
wooden whscls, on which il will roll vorS
easily. These may readily be bought al
n hardware store
When the box is completed and in good
shape 1t must be lined and covered Tho
lining may be of some material or OF pa
per If the inside of tho box is nice and
smooth. Flowcrcd wall paper or cartridge
paper put On with good paste is the bcs
To use. If the inside of thc box Is no
smooth have a checsccloth lining instead
The Ogden standard. [volume] (Ogden City, Utah) 1902-1910, 1910-01-01

First cut out six pieces Of unbleachcd
muslin and then six pieces of checSccloth
in white or some light shade The pieces
fit the sides, bottom and top of the box
The muslin goes next 10 the wood and the
checsecloth forms the lining. Bastc each
piece of chccsccloth to n corresponding
piece of muslin and then tack 10 tue piece
with tiny tackS.
The outer covering is adjusted in the
same fashion. 1t may be of linen, denim
chintz or any material desired. If the box
is quite rough put OH muslin as on the
inside, basting each piece FIRST to the
outer covering. Then put on tic two To-
gcthcr with small tocks, or. if desired
you may first put on the muslin, holding
I'll the outer covering is put on. Garry the
outer covering over the edge of tho box
and tock it neatly inside Finish the lid
in The same way. AT the bottom turn the
material under and tack il on The bottom
of the box. Be sure TO use very small
tacks for this.
II the box Is to he kept under the bed

way many other useful boxes may DC

For a younger sister any number OF
toys may be made of boxes There is no
nicer way 10 make n dolls house. One

made of cardboard or several small boxes
large enough for one room each may be
fitted together

MOVE CAUSES DISQUIET.
Preparations for Fortifying Flushing
Arouses Belgium.
.spondence of Tn" star

Foreign Correspondence of Thu Star
BRUSSELS December 4. 1910.
Belgian political and military circles
are every day showing more and more
concern about the Dutch preparations
for fortifyng Flushing and thus Oh
structing the route by which a British
fleet would at any future date be expected
to rescue Antwerp from German as-
gression.
One OF the results of the anxiety
caused BY this move has been to suggest
the idea of transferring Belgiums bases
of naval defense from Antwerp TO Zee
brugge, the new harbor connecting
Burgess with the North sea. 1t is urged
in favor of such an important strategical
change that Zeeburgge Is only three
hours journey from Dover. whence
British fleet could even more rapidly ar
rive at the scene of fighting than IN
the case Of Antwerp.
Furthermore, Zeeburgge has no Won
derful art treasures which "A bombard-
lnent could destroy. and ii is a wholly
Belgian port whereas Antwerp is COM
merciaIly and socially in the hands OF
German financiers and traders. who
could not be relied upon TO assist i'm the
defense of the place against "A Teutonic
invasion.
The project of terrifying Zeebru2ge
will be brought. before the Belgian par
Lament at an early date.
