Began Making Models at Twelve
Years Of Age.
Fred is fifteen years old now and
his head seems to be fairly buzzing
with ideas about machines Of sew
eral kinds-though, best of al, he
likes the automobile. He says his
first model was made three years
ago when he lived on South Thir-
teenth street, and it was one Of
those days, so considerate of Jun
iors, when the cutters were full Of
water. A friend was playing with
him and they piled up sand into a
dam-and then. they had new
idea.
Lets make an auto" said his
friend. So they found some old
carpet sweeper wheels which they
set on board, and that, Fred says,
was his first model.
After that he was always making
some kind of automobiles-of cigar
boxes and other things, until now
he can make them out of tin.
II always liked tools and things
like that" Fred said. Fathers a
mechanic and mother says that the

The Ford 8" was shown to men
of the Webb-Coleman company who
have the Ford agency here, and
they considered 1t a fair model Of
a Ford roadster-and that's saying
a good deal, when real automobile
men saw that.
It's a beauty, too! 1t is long

too, with rubber tires; and a splen'

The model is quite complete
(though even now Fred is planning
a new one that will contain an en-
CINE and will really go) with its
mirror, steering wheel, radiator
top, horn, and long, well-shaped
tenders.
You just wonder how Fred ever
found all those things-at least,
that's what your Junior Editor
Wonderland then, Fred laughed,
and said:
well, you see, got an old tin

History of TIE
Wonderful Tree

Far out in California there was
a tree that was only IS foot high,
when Christ was born. Seven men
stood around the tree, taking hold
of hands and they could lust barely
reach their hands around it. 1t was
about fifty feet around and the
bark was two feet thick. 1t was
just cut down few years ago.
They made pool tables out of the
stump and bowling alley out of the
trunk and livery stable out of
the branches. 1t certainly was a
big tree.-A true story, by Virginia
Lee Long, age 10, Sharonville,
Ohio.

to Paul Branderberry, who lives
across the street from Fred-but
they traded some things not long
ago, and Fred got his cherished
drawknife. He has an emcry
wheel and a jig-saw, too: 2nd, il he
doesn't have just tue tool needed
for a certain part of the WORK, he
never lets that bother him. He
thinks up new way of making the
part with some of the tools he has.
When asked how he plans his
models, Fred answered
81 never use paper and pencil to
plan them. / go to bed at 800
O'Clock, and sometimes don't go to
sleep till 1900. That's how | plan
them"
Fred worked at garage for six
months and says he can tell you
anything about a Ford. His father
likes autos, too, and Fred has often
watched him working with Fords
at the Webb-Coleman garage.
Give me the parts of a Ford,
and can put it together" Fred
stated.

making a touring car model which
he expects to finish soon. when

WANT TO SAVE MONEY?

A good way to save money spent
in buying envelopes is to save all
the envelopes received by third
class mail until a number have
been accumulated, and, after soak.
ing them in water for a few min
utes to soften the mucilage. turn
them inside out and stick them to-
gether again.
These are then as good as new
blank envelopes, and with the pres
ent high price of paper this method
will save a good many pennies
