Pleasant Social Event.

Sunday, November Goth IN this
year OF grace, 1911, was MIR. l..
B MeIIott's birthday; so the
thought occurred to hls ister-in-
law, Mrs. George G. Mellott Of
Webster Mills, hat to invite, on
the sly, a few of his neighbors
and friends to forgather az his
home near Slpe's Mill, Pa, might
be the means of bringing about
a very pleasant social occasion.
Accordingly the invitations
were issued, and the people in the
neighborhoOd of which Mr.. Mel
lot has not long been a resident,
responded to the extent that
there was assembled jolly COM
pany, and the surprise was com
plete.
To any one who has ever been
so fortunate as to be present on
one of these occasions the telling
about the dinner would be surer
huous, so we shall leave this to
your imagination and envy.
Neither need 1t be SAID there
was a full quota of gifts.
The guests were, Charles Bard

ACT ON FIVE MORE

W,de Importance.

Five proposed amendments to
the constitution Of Pennsylva-
MIA will be laid before the gen =
eral assembly Of 1913 and If they
are passed by that legislature
will be submitted for the ap-
proval of the voters that year.
These five proposed amendments
were approved by the legislature
of 1911 and under the require
ments Of the constitution must
be twice passed by the legislature
before going to the people.
The most important of the a
mendments and which will prob.
ably figure considerably IN the
campaign of 1912 when half of
the members of the senate aud
all of the members of the next
house Of representatives will be
selected, is that proposing that
the general assembly may au

good roads. 1t Is the idea TO
issue bonds as required.
When the proposition passes
the next general assembly a
special election might be called
for the purpose of voting on the
amendment and the enabling
Legislation passed so that the
money be made available IN 1913.

knot which was tied about six inches
from the end Of the string and, allow
ing almost n inch Of string for the
wheel to turn on. she tied another
knot in front Of the wheel, to hold It.
Between the two knots the wheel could
whirl, but could not move out Of place.
Six inches above the last knot she
made another knot and then strung
the next largest pinwheel on the string
and fastened with a second knot in
the same manner as the first wheel.
In this way all four wheels were put
on the string, each six inches from its
neiRhbor, and then there remained half
a yard or more of free string above the
last wheel. On the free end of the
string Polly fastened a small square Of
pasteboard by pushing the needle
through the center of the square and
then tying a large knot at the extreme
end Of the string to keep the paste
board from slipping of. (Figure ~

"Hatpins for axles,'' added Polly.
"Four wheels and corks between to
keep them apart said Donald.
Il am going to use this pasteboard
letter paper box" said Polly.
"Well. tell me how wide and how
long it is. so that I can make the sails
to fit"
Polly measured the box. "It is a lit
tie over six and one-ha!f inches long,
five inches wide and one inch and a
half Deep" she announced.
BE sure your spools are all the same
size," Donald said.
Polly begged two hatpins Of her
mother. One. was long, the other short.
The shortest was just the right length
for her axle. so, using a pair Of nip
pers. she broke the longer pin off at
the point to match the short one.
Then she pushed one pin in on one side
of the box a quarter Of an inch from
the edge and one inch and a quarter
from the end. On this pin. inside of
the box, she strung a large spool, then
a small cork, then another large spool
and finally pushed the point Of the pin
through the other side of the box ex-

actly opposite to where it entered the
first side. On the point Of the pin she
stuck a small cork for a hub. The
round head of the pin aswered for the
other hub. Figure So The other two
spool wheels We're adjusted in the same
manner. and the last pin was inserted
in the box the same distance from the
back end and edge as the first pin was
from the front end and edge.
Donald cut both of his sails like Fig
ure 9. making them eight inches wide
at the bottom. four inches wide at the
top and six and one-quarter inches
high. He drew a line directly through
the middle of each sail from top to bot
tom. and on this line he cut four small
points at equal distances apart for
openings to admit the masts. He made
two braces at the bottom of each sail,
four inches apart, to hold them steady.
&C and D, Figure 81 Each brace is
half an inch wide. half an inch high,
and has a lap at the bottom one inch
long.
When the sails were ready he erected
his masts. These were slender,
straight twigs, nine inches long, sharp.

along its edge. dividing her square into
four equal triangles. After this she
drew the same kind Of lines on the

she cut slashes along each line on each

ened to a point at each end. The front
mast he placed half an inch from the
front edge Of the wagon, the back mast
one inch and a half from the back
edge of the wagon, and both directly
on a line drawn lengthwise through the
center Of the box. Donald first pune
tured small holes in the box at these
points. then forcing a half-inch cork
up one inch on the lower end of the
front mast (E, Figure 1O. he covered
the bottom of the cork with glue. and
inserted the end Of the mast in the
hole at the front Of the box where it
was a tight fit.
When he had pushed the mast down
until the glue on the cork held it fast.
he covered the top Of another cork
with glue (F, Figure 10Y. and forced the
last cork up on the mast from the un-
der side Of the wagon until it stuck to
the top. When the glue dried the mast
was firm and steady.
The sail Donald slipped onto the mast
from the top. running the mast in and
out Of the holes. as shown in Figure Z.
He bent the laps back at the dotted
lines and glued them to the top Of the
box. Then to make the sail still more
secure he pasted oblongs Of paper over
the masts where they ran through the
sails at the back. The dotted inclo-
sures. G and H, show the positions Of
the oblongs on the sail.
When the second mast and sail were
erected and adjusted in the same way
as the first. Donald cut two narrow
strips of blue tissue paper, four and a
half inches long, for pennants. Gig

1.-THE wind canN pull the string
this %pasteboard sa&re.' she said. and
almost before the Hast knot was tied
Polly was at the window. "Come
quick, Donald, I ala going to try my
pinwheels." she cried, throwing up the
sash and putting out the hand that
held the end Of her string.
Donald dropped his windmill and
gained the window at a bound. as
anxious at Polly to- see the result of
her experiment. Immediately the wind
csught the string Of pinwheels. lifted
it out straight and sent each wheel
whirling at a great rate.
How they do go!" Donald exclaimed.
Nov come and help finish the wind
mill. You make the wheel while I get
the tower in shape"
"All right" said Polly cheerfully.
How big shall I make the wheel?''
about six and one-half inches
square"
Donald made the tower for his wind
mill all in one piece. (Figure S. He
first decided upon the height and width,
then drew four connecting oblong
panels for the four sides. Each of
these panels he made ten inches high
and four inches wide. For the peaked
roof he drew four more panels. one
above each of the side panels. These
he made four inches high and four
inches wide, just the width Of the side
panels. Exactly at the middle Of each
top line of each roof panel he made q
dot with his pencil, then drew slanting
lines from the ends Of the base of each
roof panel to the dot at the top. This
gave four points for the roof. (Fie.

stand on. Donald made by drawing a
horizontal line just one inch below the
lower edges Of the side panels and
bringing the side lines down to meet
1t. The bend-over, attached to the
fourth panel. which holds the tower to-
gether, he made two inches wide and
exactly the length Of the side panels.
This finished the drawing and Dom
aid proceeded to cut it out. He cut
along the slanting lines of the second
and fourth points Of the roof, but on
the first and third points he left bend
overs. as shown in Figure 5, simply
cutting off some of the top Of the two
squares to make the bendovers At

as she folded and slashed the squares
for her pinwheels. "IIl have them
graduated" she continued, thinking Of
her own work: first a large wheel.
then a smaller, then a smaller one
still. and the last shall be smallest Of
all"
For her largest wheel Polly cut a
square Of writing paper, which mea-
sured exactly six inches along each
edge. The next she cut five and a half
inches square. the next four and a half
inches square and the smallest three
and q half inches square. Then she
