SUMMER VACATION FOR GIRLS
Time Hanging Heavily on Her Hands
May Be ProfitabIy Spent in Many
interesting Ways.

Mona v. Lace. Colorado Experiment
Station.)
Every young girl looks forward TO q
summer of rest, but after the first few
weeks of vacation are over she begins
to find time hanging heavily on her
hands. There are many interesting
ways in which this time ruay be profit
ably spent. Here are a few things
some girls are doing: Collecting art
copies and writing a short history of
each; collecting authors photographs
and learning their life histories. and
prominent books they have written;
making scrapbook and forming his
tory with cartoons from the leading
magazines; making scrapbooks with
pictures from magazines for little chill
dren in the winter. If any girl is so
fortunate as to have access to an at
tic full OF old magazines she may
make an interesting collection of pic
lures of women and dating each,
which will show the extremely varied
and rapid style-changes of years. Some
girls are busy on their fair work, MAX
ing jellies or canning fruits and label
ing them attractively. Others are
busy with fancy work.
These hints will probably suggest
others to anyone interested, and every
girl who will try some means of pass
ing her summer will find she has a
feeling of satisfaction when school
time comes again.

OPERATE BICYCLE ON WATER
Long Bar Has WingIike Floats at TWO
Sections to Support lt--Pro-
peiler Placed at Rear.

Decidedly unique is the water BIZ
cycle patented by an Illinois man
and shown in the illustration. A long
bar has winglike floats at two sections
to support it, and at the rear end is
a propeller This propeller is operat-
ed by pedals, that drive a small wheel
depending from the back, and by a
gear in front, that is turned by the
hands. This grives double impetus
to the revolutions of the shaft. The
rider" lies on his stomach along the
top of the bar, and his chin rests in a
pivoted support that turns the rudder,
which is in front. BY turning his
head one way or the other the opera

Sailed Away on the Big Ship.

"and we will find Melissa and Eus-
tace."
So one day Jerome, with his moth
er and Fritzie, sailed away on a big
ship, the same as Melissa had, for the
big country called America. But there
was no smiling face awaiting them
as there had been for Melissa, and
Jerome and his mother were able to
speak only a few words in English, so
that when they landed in America
they had to show all their money, and
had it not been for a kind-hearted
man, who met his wife and children,
who were on the ship with Jerome
and his mother, they would have
been sent back to Germany. New
York was a much larger place than
they had supposed, and they did not
find Melissa and Eustace. Their little
stock OF money grew smaller, and one
morning, when Jerome started out
looking for his sister and also for
work, he said to his mother: 81 think
I will take Fritzie with me; perhaps
can get a few pennies for his
tricks"
They wandered along through the
thickly settled streets until they came
to a group of children in front of a
store. Jerome put Fritzie through his
tricks, and the children laughed and
danced around Fritzie, who was hap
pier than he had been since he land
ed in the strange country, when sud
denly he broke through the crowd and
ran into the store barking. Jerome
followed as quickly as he could, and
there was Melissa with Fritzie in her
arms, crying and hugging him, and
in an instant Jerome was being
Rugged until he scarcely could
breathe.
Then Eustace came and went for
the mother, and you never saw such
happy people. And Fritzie danced
around him, and was patted and
praised, for had he not been the
one to first see Melissa and bring the
family together again! And after ali
the excitement was over, Melissa told
them how Eustace had been very i'll
and was taken to the hospital, and
she had written to them and waited
Tor letter and none came, and then
When Eustace was well he wrote to

and no one knew where they were.
But where were Melissa's letters?
That was the strange part. But after
awhile that was explained. Melissa
could not leave the store, and gave
the letters to boy to put in the let
ter box. He thought she was sending
money to her people, and he opened
and destroyed them. And all this time
poor Melissa was crying because she
did not hear from home, and Jerome
and his mother were sailing to a
strange country to find her.
Fritzie became the most popular
dog in the neighborhood, and was
pointed out for many years as the dog
that united family.

prove costly"

which is gaining in condition at the
opening of the breeding season will
get more and stronger lambs than
the ram which is in poor flesh. Oats
is one of the hest grains for use
at this time.
In addition to providing plenty Of
pasture, and small amount of grain
during the late summer, the ram
should have an abundance of water
The usual practice in pasturing the
ram during the summer months is to
place him in a small paddock or an
orchard, where there is no natural
water supply. Under such conditions
it is necessary to supply water by ar
titicial means. And when the water
is supplied little salt may be given
once each week.

SCIENCE AGAINST ALCOHOL.

An educational campaign against
drinking is being waged by the
Health Department Of New York
City, This would not have been pos
sible ten years ago. 1t seems hardly
possible now when the immense in
fluence of the liquor. traffic in that
great metropolis is taken into con-
sideration. .a x u
Doctor Goldwater, Health Commits
sioner of New York City after declar-
ing the purpose of the department
to give the people the facts, says:
"A diminution in the consumption
OF alcohol by the community would
mean less tuberculosis, less poverty,
less dependency, less pressure on our
hospitals, asylums and jails. Intern
perate drinking cuts into the support
OF the family. The drinking of par
ents weakens the vitality of children.
Drinking mothers lose twice as many
babies as do sober mothers. More al
feeble-mindeda children than in the
parents of normal children. The
children of drinkers develop \ more
slowly and do poorer school work
than do the children of abstainers.
Alcohol impairs the tone Of the
muscles and lessons the product Of
laborers; 1t depreciates the skill and
endurance Of artisans; it impairs
memory, h multiplies industrial acct
dents and causes chronic diseases,

THE VICTORIES OF PEACE.
(From the Commoner.)


On another page will be found a
speech delivered by the president at
Philadelphia, on May 10TH. 1916. at q
first voters meeting, attended by
more than fifteen thousand. It is
timely, and should be read and con-
sidered by every American citizen.
The speech abounds in apt phrases;
the president is always felicitous.
Two thoughts presented by him need
to be specially emphasized just now.
=, The first is that courage can be
shown by self-restraint as well as
by fighting. He points to the vic
tories Of peace, which are mo less
renowned than war;" and says that
the United States must set a special
example.
r "The example. of America must be
the example not merely of peace be-
cause it will not fight, but of peace
is the healing and elavating influ-
ence of the world and strife is not"
That is the growing doctrine-it
has grown immensely during the last
nine months. 1t would be easy to
descend to the. level of fighting;
Call him liar and make it a
fight" is not difficult, but, as the
president suggests-"There is such
a thing as a man being too proud
to fight" This nation, has too much.
at stake-too much at stake for it.

to enter this worldwide war.
The other thought to which 4
would draw the attention of the
readers is that embodied in his ap-
peal to the foreign-born citizens to
think of themselves as Americans
and part of the whole country, not as

members of a. group:
|&"You can not dedicate yourself to
America unless you become in every
respect and with every purpose ttof
your will thorough Americans ~ You
can not become thorough American
if you think Of yourselves in groups.
America does not consist of groups.
A man who thinks Of himself as Be

in America has not yet become an
American, and theMman--wEhot goes

He further emphasizes this idea
when he says: ES = ..E%!s&. ;s5*% 5i::-
1T was but an historical accident
no doubt that this great country was
called the United, States; yet am
very thankful that it has that word

very heart" r. @'FS 3. r, - !5.s.4
At this time, when the horrors of
war are being understood as never
before, 1t is the duty Of every SAmeri-
can citizen to stand with the pres
ident and assist him to maintain that
neutrality which not only our duty but
our opportunity, for only by main
tanning neutrality can we perform the
task that awaits us when the fever
OF war has run It's course and the
people of the belligerent nations re-
turn to the paths of peace.

a GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW PRE-.
a. JUDGE WARPs JUDGMENT,

One of the ablest members of the
Diplomatic Corps in Washington re-
Gently expressed the opinion that
the correspondence of the United
States Government with the belliger-
ents during this war had never
been surpassed in the history Of
diplomacy.
The New York World admits, that
American diplomacy has never be-
fore stood so high in the estimation
of the world as it now stands" but,
while making this admission it at
tempts to make it appear that Mr..
Bryan is not entitled to any credit
for the unsurpassed excellency of
this .country''s diplomacy during the
past year. In making the attempt
the world belittles itself far more
that it does Mr.. Bryan 1t demon
strates the extent to which prejudice
can warp the judgment CT big as well
as little men. - %
