BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES


HF COURSE you have all heard
~ about green apples; about the
! trouble they make and that they
are mt for nothing but picl
! Now, as a matter of fact, green ap
! pies are good for many things besides
/ pie and one of the very best of those
many things is dolls.
:. Dolls of apples such foolish idea,
did you .say?' Not foolish at all, but
lots OF fun, as you will see when you
| know all about IT,
lhe first thing to do in order tC
have some handsome green apple
dolls is to collect your apples
1t you have all apple tree in your
yard that is easy. Or. if you happen
to know of all apple tree near your
home you can beg for some of tho
"windfall apples s"--thcy make the very
best dolls, but are not good for much
else. II you can't get any apples
yourself perhaps your mother will let
you have some of the very little ones
from among those she buys at the
grocery. Tell her she can have them
back after you have played with them,
and she won't mind bit.
Now wash your apples clean and
rub them till they shine.
Next collect some straight sticks
some two, some three and some four
inches long. Then some leaves-and
YOU are ready for work.
Sort out your apples into two lots
the littlcst are the dolls heads, the
bigger ones make the bodies. Pair
them off the way they fit together best
the iittlcst heads with the littlest
bodies, then the biggest heads with
the big fat bodies.
Fasten the heads into the bodies by
thrusting two-inch stick into the
"body"-applc and then pressing the
head'-apple down into the stick.
Choose which side of the apple is to
be the front and mark a jolly looking
face on the round hcad-cyes, nose
and smily mouth.
Now stick a pair OF the three-inch
sticks in for arms and pair of the
four-inch sticks for legs. Isn't he a
handsome fellow?

A|RBOAT SMASHED,
AV|ATORS ESCAPE
Beach and Assistant Unable
to Cut Off Power in Runaway
Machine.

Just after completing succession
flight along the river front in his aero
boat, A c. Beach. the aviator. met with
an accident off Giesboro Point shortly
before noon. Beach and his assistant,
Simon Mills. had been in the air about
fifteen minutes when they decided to
land in the washington channel. op-
posite the Eleventh street wharf. AS he
started to come down. Beach found that
the wire by which the engine is stopped
was broken. and that there was no way
of cutting off the power.
He then went up in the air and start
ed down the river. travelling at the rate
of sixty miles an hour. Realizing that
it would be impossible to stop the en-
gine, Beach selected the wide stretch OF
water opposite GiesbOro for a landing
place. The terrific speed at which the
aeroboat was travelling caused the bot
tom to be torn to pieces as the craft
struck the water. However, the wings
held the machine on top Of the water.
and the two men escaped with duck
ing which they received by the splash
ing of the water when the machine
struck the surface.
Capt. Matthew Kersey, of the tug Her
bert, took the aviators aboard until the
arrival of Lieutenant Dean, of the har-
Dor police, in the patrol launch Sylvester.
Lieutenant Dean took the two men
aboard his boat and then towed the
disabled machine back to the wharf.
Several months ago Beach met with an
accident with the same craft. and had
| to be towed ashore by the police boat.
