WANTS new TRIAL
IN BURGLAR CASE

Attorney Frank Carroll today
entered a motion for new trials
in the cases of John Watkins and
Roy Langdon, Orting burglars.
He bases his motion on the ground
that the letter written by Waa-
kins to his sweetheart. Nevada
Cassidy. was sprung by the pros
ecuting attorney as a surprise
during the recent trials.
Both men were found guilty OF
robbing the home of A. M. BelcE-
err of Orting on Dec. 5. The let
ter referred to was one of the
strongest points against Watkins
and Langdon. II fell into the
prosecutors hands through Wiley
Cook, the informer, who will he
tried next month as an accom-
plice.

BOYS, HERE'S PLAN AND DIRECTIONS
FOR MAKING A MIGHTY ARTISTIC AND
USEFUL BOOK RACK FOR THE LIBRARY
BY JOHN Il. DOUGHENY.
printed by special arrangement
with the American Boy
MaQazine.l


Magazine.)
You can get the wood for this
book rack from some old piece OF
furniture in the attic, or buy 1t
for a few cents at lumber yaro
or secondhand store.
Begin work by drafting out
the ends of the pieces from which
they are to be cut. Draw your
lines carefully with fine-pointed
hard pencil. The holes near the
top of the sides need not be fully
drawn. Mark their centers only.
Use 3-S-inch bit in boring each
of the four holes which form the
completed hole.
The curve at the top and sides
is sawed with a compass saw and
|smOothed with wood chisel and
sandpaper. A compass or coping
saw is a small wire frame with
saw blades that may be put in
quickly. They are very handy
for the boy mechanic. One frame
and six blades can be bought for
a small sum.
To ensure both ends being
similar, mark them out from a
cardboard pattern.
In boring the holes have your
hardwood piece blocked firmly
and let 1t rest upon piece of
pine. Continue to turn the bit
until 1t has cut into the pine a
half inch. This will keep the re-
verse side of the hole from being
broken and jagged.
The sliding part of the rack is
shown in Fig. q. Get piece of
flooring that has match on one
side and a groove on the other.
Plane down the groove side and
make 1t like the other. This is
to fit into a frame made of
grooved pieces IF" and &c" in

and fits flush against the end OF
