Gasoline at the Poles.

The Amundsen and Scott eXpedi-
tions were greatly hindered through
losing much of their gasoline-a loss
that, in fact, had much to do with the
disaster that befell Captain Scott. Mr..
B. T. Brooks of the Mellon Institute
of Industrial Research thinks he
knows what caused the loss. At low
temperatures, he says, ordinary tin
tends to pulverize. At Sd degrees be-
low zero it pulverizes quickly and may
pulveriZe, although more slowly, at
higher temperature. Now, hard solder
usually contains large percentage Of
tin, and so, of course, disintegrates in
the same way Consequently the gas
oline cans are likely to leak at the
soldered seams. Mr.. Brooks suggests
that polar explorers carry their sup
plies of gasoline in containers made
of glass, or of some metal unaffected
by extreme cold.-Youth's Companion.

lights in his grounds, he directed the
rays of the searchlights upon the sa-
looms. Nobody could enter without
being truly in the spot light. Decent
men didn't like to make exhibitions
of themselves, so they lodged those
saloons. The liquor men threatened
lots of things to Humphrey, but went
no further than to sue out an injunc-
ton restraining him from using his
battleship searchlights. That was pie
for the popcorn man. The papers
made big stories out of the fight.
Humphrey got more advertising than
he could have bought for thousands
of dollars. And the injunction was
set aside. Thereupon the search
lights came into play again. The
crowd at Beach Park thought it high
ly enjoyable to see an occasional per-
son try to get into a saloon without
being spotted. People went out just
to see this show.
Every Visitor Gets Value.
The searchlights drove the saloons
out of business and Beach Park
never has seen one since. 1t has in
creased in popularity year by year,
and today is remarkable monument
to the worth of honesty and decency
in an amusement park. Every pala-
table soft" drink is sold there, but
nothing with suspicion of dope.
There is no ballyhooing, no deceit, no
loudness. Every visitor gets value.
The whole establishment--andi it COW
ers many acres-is conducted ration
ally, efficiently and yet most profit
ably.
There has been so much profit in
Beach Park as he conducts it that the
popcorn man has had to took about
to employ his money. Liking the
amusement field and believing he was
doing a good service in providing for

some really entertaining bat Dy nc
means noisy, shows. And the restau-
rants. The town never had had bet
ter. Everything was at moderate
price. You could get a sandwich foi
five cents, and everything else in pro.
portion. Men found they could take
the whole family there to dinner and
not be bankrupted. Some declared it
was cheaper to go to the park and
dine than to remain at home.
In addition to the joys of good eat
ing, good surroundings, cleanliness
and 6ecency, there were the delights
of boating and bathing and fishing.
Humphrey had changed everything
at the lakeside. All the boats were
new. All the lighthouses were neat
and well kept Even the beach was
gone over several times day to re-
move anything or everything dropped
by careless persons.

From being neglected, Beach Park
suddenly sprang into favor It's for

was used as basis for expressing its
new worth. The money came pour
ing in on Humphrey in a way to cheer
him for all the patience he had dis
played and people began telling him
how they always knew he would
make a big success of the enterprise.
All the persons who went to the
park were not drinkers of soft stuff.
Various gentlemen, seeing what
crowds were being attracted to the
park, wished they could induce
Humphrey to let them have the bar
privilege at his newly-made gold
mine. Some approached him on the
proposition, but never again. Then
they did what they considered to be
the next best thing. They opened sa-
looms across the broad highway from
the main entrance to the park. Some
of those saloons were pretty tough.
Humphrey did not like his saloon
neighbors. He determined to get rid
of them. Rigging up powerful search

TOYS MADE IN THE
HOME WORKSHOP

THERE are some toys that can be
i made at home for the smaller chill
dren and they are among those that
are most durable and most cherished.
Among them are Teddy bears, dogs,
elephants, rabbits and kittens made of
canton flannel or plush. Rag dolls,
printed on strong muslin, can be
bought ready to be cut out and made
at home. The animals are cut by pat
terms to be had at pattern companies
and are stuffed with sawdust. Small
buttons or beads make their eyes and
heavy yarns are employed in outlining
the mouth or nose or other details.
A small white dog shown in the pic
ture illustrates how well these toys
look. He is furnished with eyes made
of little black buttons and ears cut
from black cloth. A ribbon carrying
a tiny bell IS sewed about his neck
and he is bedecked with narrow band
of red ribbon about his body, tied in
bow at the side.
A clown doll is shown with the head
made of ribbed goods like stocking
top. The body lie made of blue cambria

Der of thirsty gentlemen who Jour
neyed out to the park the following
Sunday 1t was hot-frightfully hot
and their thirst had not been cooled
by the five-mile ride from the center
OF the city in the crowded trolley
cars. They bet out a roar that was
unpleasant to hear They scoffed at
the attendants who mildly suggested
that there were plenty of soft drinks
to be had
The closing of the bar was bad
enough, but worse followed Gentle
men who sought the pleasures of the
dancing pavilion and cast aside their
coats and vests as they had been ac-
customed to do in order to be cooler
and more comfortable while they
danced, were fighting angry, when in
formed that no one would be permit
ted on the floor unless properly clad.
Long and Trying Struggle.
Beach Park was a sad affair for the
rest of the season. The respectable
element would not go there because
VI A1o 5OhCAo al lCPuNoIAOAs SiiO
rough element would not torture itself
in such a deadly dull place. Women
and children went there on summer
days and found relief from the heat
of the city and persons who loved
boating and fishing continued to give
their patronage to it, but the receipts
were decidedly less than under the
old regime.
Next year Humphrey had desper-
ate time. Every day meant a loss,
and his capital dribbled away stead
lily. He had to make lot of popcorn,
old-fashioned candy and sugared pea
nuts to meet one weeks deficit, but
he went about his business as usual
and kept his own counsel.
The third year Humphrey was il
possession tested his courage to the
limit The days when the receipts
equaled the expenses were rare. The
days when the losses were big were
many. The popcorn man had to rake
and scrape and make sacrifices to

keep UP appearances. His brother,
who had joined forces with him,
helped him out with money and serv-
ices, but even with his aid it was
the tightest kind of squeeze to get
through without a visit from the
sheriff.
1t had been proved so conclusively
that the public would have nothing
to do with Beach Park that no one
supposed Humphrey would be SO fool
ish, after that experience of the third
season, as to waste more of his time
and hard-earned money on it. But
the popcorn man was obstinate and
he opened up the fourth year as
blithely as ever. 1t was the cid story
until about the middle of the season.
Then there was a slight improve
ment. Somebody of consequence and
place was changed so much he hardly
could recognize 1T He was so glow
ing in his picturing of the charm of
the park that the other man was
tempted to go there. He was sur
prised and delighted. and felt it was
his duty to tell everybody about it.
Both Decent and Paying.
Before that fourth season closed
Beach Park was paying expenses. 1t
opened next year with an excellent
business. and in month or two 1t
was having a patronage such as it
never had known before. 1t was ex-
actly the place for respectable man
and his family. There were no toughs.
There were no bars. Everything was
moderate in price. yet good. There
were no shooting galleries. no fortune
tellers, no freaks or fakes or loop the
loop or thrillers in the way of roller
coasters with sensational dips that oc-
casionally brought disaster. But there
was everything that was legitimate
and safe and decent. The dancing
pavilion was a delight. There was
a dancing master there to instruct
the awkward or the young or TO
check any tendency to improperly.
The music was OF the best for dane
ing purposes. Comparatively few per-
sons realize what big difference
the music makes In the enjoyment of
dancing.
Instead OF the sideshows and fakes,
Humphrey had charming pavilions.

lawns and grottos. There were roller
