door are eliminated by operating it
with an electric motor.
The electrically operated revolving
door has a motor attached TO the up

leaves extend. The motor is quite
out OF sight above the horizontal

With a door thus equipped there is
no reaching out and grabbing a leaf

button and so turns the current into
the motor, and the motor does the
rest, starting the door gently and then
keeping it going with a motion that is
steady and uniform.

AMUSING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
nIsh Pleasure for Boys and
Girls Of Any Age.

Did you yer give a party and find
it hard to amuse the boys and girls
after they arrived? 1t is no. a pleas
ant experience. and it is always well
to know of a game that will make the
young folks Timber up"
One that children of any age will
enjoy and which takes little prepare
ton is the Joneses' Vacation. One of
the girls Is selected as Mrs. Jones and
one of the boys as Mr.. Jones. You
have ready a suit case and at a given
signal Mr.. and Mrs. Jones must un,
lock Il and put on the things they
find inside. 1t is a good idea to have
a hat. a long coat, a veil. scarf. gloves
and pocketbook for Mrs. Jones and Q
coat, hat, collar a Qarge one), neck.
tie and gloves for Mr.. Jones. They
must dress in these as quickly as pos.
sible, for some one is timing them,
and then they must lock the suit case
and rush of with it to the train. That
must be the tarthest point you can Sc
lect-usually the front door. After
they have hit the front door a good
go
hard thump they must rush back
again, take of the things and pack
them again. And IL they don't pack
carefully they will find themselves In
trouble. for they must lock and strap
the suit case again. Now it is the turn
OF another couple to be Mr.. and Mrs,
Jones, and when they all have tried
the couple who made the trip In the
shortest time are judged the winners.
1t is well to use coats and hats that
you do not need to treat carefully. for
naturally they are apt to get rumpled

forget the collar. in which you should
put a large stud, for 1t always is in

mound in the sixth inning after the
fans had clamored wildly for him dur

the slab a great ovation was forthcom-

that he Is sdll a box artist to be
feared.

bat. The outfelders playing behind

field telling him that he must strike
OUT the last batter or chase the ball.

task and made the last batter Whit on

Bresnahan looks best at bat. The
