MONEY MADE IN WAR KITES
Ohio Boy Makes Toys Armed With
Glass to Destroy Enemles-Mate-
rial ls Carefully Selected.

In little attic workshop in CLeve-
land a twelve-year-old boy spends his
spare hours turning out big, ferocious-
looking war" kites, which he sells
to his playmates. says an exchange.
The boy is Stuart Jenney, a seventh
grade pupil. Stuart caught the war
spirit almost from the day he read
that the European powers had de-
clared hostilities.
For several years he has been the
most skillful kite maker of his district
and had sold many kites to his play
ventional types for the fighting kind.
Stuart's flyers" soar skyward in
fiocks after school hours, pirates of
the air, their long tails armed with
jagged bits of glass designed to cut
the cords of rival kites that are not
Unanswered cleverly enough to dodge
their foes.
For overparticular strategists Stuart
designs and makes special warriors,
collecting, of course, special prices for
these models. He carefully selects
the wood, linen and paper that go into
their construction, and will not let a
kite leave his factory" until he has
personally tested it.
Kite battles mean more orders, for
once a cord is severed while the kite
is sailing high, that particular pirate
reaches the earth mass of broken
sticks and torn paper beyond repair.

THREE DAYS IN ONE

frreguiarity of Date Line Accounts for

by Scientist in the New York
Sunday World.

Three days can exist at the same
timel 1t sounds impossible, but it is
nevertheless a fact that when it is
very late Sunday night at Attu island
1t is Monday noon at London and Tues
day morning at Cape Deshnef, Siberia!
If one travels westward, one loses
day in going round the world; if one
travels eastward, one gains a day.
writes Hereward Darlington in the
Sunday New York World Magazine.
Could one travel at the rate of 10
degrees a day, one would lose exactly
one hour each day. In twenty-four
days the circuit would be complete.
Inasmuch as sun and earth are con-
stantly revolving and day merging in
to night, Sunday passing into Monday,
etc, it is obvious that at one point
on the worlds surface an arbitrary
line must be set, to the east of which
is one day, to the west of which is the

Walter Long, one of the leading
jestic Mutual organizations, believes
that he is the discoverer of the stingi-

Long is a powerful swimmer. At
the beginning of the summer season
he was named as one of the NUM-
cipal life guards at Ocean park, work
ing on Sundays and holidays when
the crowds at the beach were the
largest.
A swimmer who went out beyond
the breaker line became caught in a
rip tide and shouted for help Long
went to his assistance, and, after a
hard struggle with the big breakers,
succeeded in bringing the near drown

A short time later the rescued man,
nattily dressed in his street clothes
and wearing big diamond, appeared
and thanked Long for saving his life
Here, have a good cigar on me-" said
the rescued individual as he proffered
Long a dime. Long was on his way to
purchase a sandwich and had five

He accepted the proffered ten cents
and returned the nickel with the state
ment Here is your change" The
man whom Long rescued accepted the

Joke on Comedian.

''Who ever told you that you could
swim?" calmly inquired Manager
Thomas Persons of the Selig Jungle
Zoo, picking up remark dropped by
Comedian Sid Smith.
well, / may not be so much, but
am open to a proposition" said
Smith, who can fall off the break
water in his winter clothes and swim
to shore in an ocean storm.
These proved fighting words, and
the wager was arranged on the spot
to the effect that Sid could not swim
the Los Angeles river. This is a very
ancient joke with natives, but many
newcomers bite" After the money
was up the crowd adjourned to the
Los Angeles river" which was just
ankle deep at the time. Smith ragged
up and down the bottoms endeavoring
to find a pool sufficiently large to take
a few strokes, but failed. His money
vanished before the crowd concluded
its laughter.

PLAY FOOTBALL ON A TABLE
Regular Rules Govern Game and
Score 10 Also kept-Old and
Young Enjoy Pastlme.

One of the funniest and most anus
ing games imaginable is that of play
ing football with an eggshell. Imagine
I'll But frail as the new kind of foot
ball is, 1t is rarely broken If the rules
Of the game are adhered to. This
is most surprising. too, because the
rules of the game are pretty much the
same as those used on the real grid
iron. There is a difference in num-
bers, however, for the players are
limited to as many as can get about
the table, no more and no less, and not
even taking into consideration the size
of the table. A rule which will delight
the feminine side of the house is that
which admits girls as we'll as boys to
the game.
Make the football by making tiny
hole in each end of the shell and blow
ing out the contents, and then mark
boundaries on the table field with tape
or chalk, having two ends of the table
for goals. Each side elects a captain
and then the fun begins. At given
signal both sides or teams begin to
blow upon the eggshell that has been
placed In the center of the field. Each
side tries, of course to blow the egg
toward his goal. No player must leave
his place and 1t is most rigid rule
never to move the ball by any Other
way than blowing. For so doing q
player is sent from the field as in the
actual game. Regular football rules
are used, and the score is kept as IN
the real game. Each of the two teams
should have a name, either ridiculou:
or after some of the colleges Oh
schools. This always adds interest t
the contest. Old and young equal,
enjoy the game, especially If they un
derstand football tactics and rules.

NOVEL MOVIE USES
Films to Be Employed in Educa-
tionaI Work.
Great Railroad VIII Use Them to
Show Result of Workman's Care
Iessness-Hope to Get Scenes
Showing Wars Horrors.

The New York Central railroad has
had a moving picture play" construct
ed around the story of a trainman's
carelessness which resulted in an &C
cident in which he was injured. and
his family left needy. 1t has been
carted around the great system and
shown to employees, on whom it made
a great impression. Other roads are
going to borrow the films and carry
the show over their lines, as a means
of intoxicating the solid principles and
lessons of the safety first campaign.
1t is announced that a series of
moving picture shows will be provided
at the Panama-Paciic exposition in
San Francisco, to illustrate work of
the government departments. The de-
partment of agriculture has for some
time been doing experimental work,
looking to the extensive use of moving
pictures to educate farmers, chicken
raisers, dairymen, and others, in prop
er methods. The public health service
work is especially susceptible to this
kind OF presentation in the effort to
educate the public.
Commercial concerns have been
studying the publicity possibilities of
the films for long time, and they
are using them in some ways; but
their use for pure commercial adver-
Using has not thus far been made
very effective. 1t is in the realm of
educational effort that thew carry
their lesson most effectively.
If somebody has been able, or shall
have been able before the war ends
to get some properly impressive films
of war scenes, the movies" will give
the world it's most striking demon
strations of the desirability of peace
and the horrors of war.
