Make Skeletons To Sell or Let.

Making skeletons for & living does
not seem to be a. business that would
pay very much, and yet there are a
number of places where skeletons are
made. In making skeletons it does not
mean that they are made artiteially of
some composition resembling bone, but
that they are made" by removing
flesh and ligaments. drying the bones,
Whitening them, and assembling them
fastening them together with slender
wires in place of the ligaments, which.
of course, will not remain solid like
bone, but disintesrate
In these places skeletons of almost
everything, from common taGpole to
a human being, are made. There are
places where artificial skeletons are
made for various purposes. such as
theatrical productions and the like but
this is done along with other work
where all sorts of things. from imita-
ton ivory paper cutters to massive pill
lars are made.
The real skeleton factory deals in
nothing except the genuine skeletons,
and they not only sell these and I'LL

Marbles and Strife.

| Marbles" isn't just a game II is
tsena of, the Fundamental principles or Il
boy, and il is usually freely translated
INTO fight. Nothing is fair i'm marbles.
ana for everything that Is not fair
somebody must get the worst of it. Is
1t any wonder that you hid away that
shoe box full of marbles when you were
boy and spent every rainy day
counting and sorting and exultng
over them? Every marble meant Il
victory in cunning or skill or strength
perhaps in all three.
There have already been few
marble days, and there were several
gaines to corner one evening after
school. One of them should not be
called game, perhaps because there
was nothing in it except three very
small black boys and two marbles
They were having a good time, and
were spreading contagious sort of
happiness around them, but it was not
really marbles" They had devised
an intricate and satisfactory method
of playing, but ownership and COM
petition were lacking. and they could
not devise reason for fighting And
that was probably why they looked
embarrassed when anybody stopped
TO watch them. and why they seemed
to smile rather indulgently at them
selves
A real game of marbles was going
on across the street. Any number of
boys We're there, and several marbles
to every boy. And. of course. there
was a beautiful fight. The three lit
tie boys forgot their two marbles. and
stopped their foolish play to watch.
II was rather thrilling until a very
nice old lady dashed bravely into the
midst of the battle and tried to separ-
ate the heroes. Stop, boys" she
begged, and / will buy every boy here
six marbles. The boy who was get
ting the worst of it slipped out of the
other boys clutch long enough to
shout at the old lady: You know
you're lynn. you just want TO break
up the fight" and then went back to
his pummeling.
OF course, the fight was the thing,
and the marbles We're only accessories.
but there were only two bows in the
fight, and there were ten that wanted
marbles and more marbles meant
more fights. and the old lady prom
ised to make good Immediately. Con-
sequently that fight was declared off
and the gang followed the old lady to
the drug store and received the nber-
al reward
1t was good price the old lady
paid. but. of course. hers was serl-
Gus ofTense. If every fight was brek-
en- up there wouldn't be any use for
marbles, and it would not matter how
many of them were given away.-fn-

her help and her blessing To all the
lovers there ever were, Sometimes she
has only showed them their love, but
sometimes she has created it for them
AND there has never been any left for
herself.
This moon. however, is the most
beautiful young moon we have ever

Quail Proven Friend Of Farmer.

The quail, the "bob-white" whose
call floats softly UP from the meadows
in cool tWilights and deWy summer
mornings, is almost too we'll known
TO need description. Nearly every
boy and girl who can whistle has re-
turned his salute and heard ii again
and again. as the bird seems to search
in bewilderment for that new note
which he does not quite understand.
More rain" grandfather is likely To
say, when he hears the call in the
morning. "Bob-White is calling for
more rain But though you may
hear him it does not follow that you
may see him easily, unless your neigh
borhood is friendly or there are good

has suffered much at the hands of the
man with the gun, and the man at
the pillow has suffered too for whaa

many other insect enemies of grow

way.
A clean, white throat as full and
fluffy as a lace jabot, is one of bob
whites first recognition marks, and
the white or lemon colored lines that
run back over his head from beak to
shoulders are another. This leaves
him a neat little brown cap in the
middle of his head and gives him n
somewhat saucy appearance. No bird
can boast as large a family as the
quail. and it requires the sharpest of
eyes to find the nest, hidden as it is in
grass and sometimes covered entirely.
with a side entrance which looks as
innocent as mere tuft of stray lifted
by field mice. There are sometimes
as many as three tiers of eggs, piled
upon each other. and how SO small a
bird can cover so many is "A mystery,

THE HARVARD STADIUM

have the National Track and Field

being considered by officials of that
club. Application for sanction to hold
the meet probably VIII be made to the
championship committed of the ANA
teur Athletic Union, through E. T..

of the club.
In discussing the proposition, the
fact that the athletes of oxford and

for their meeting with Harvard and

ship meet you'd be held. has been
mentioned as likely to give an inter
national flavor to the competitions,
this year.
