When the school building program
has been completed Pensacola will
have as good a system of buildings
and equipment as any city in this sec
ton of America, declared Prof. j. H.
Workman, principal of the Pensacola
schools. The city is working under the
handicap of a lack of adequate build
ings and equipment at present, he con-
tinued, but. as soon as the program
row under Amusement is completed
the city may well be proud of its sys-
tenn.
The work of the students in the Pen
sacola schools is taken for full value
at any of the colleges in the Southern
association and a student going from
this city to any of these colleges re-
ceives credit for work completed here
without question. This reputation is
credit TO the force of teachers that
are connected with the school
In the high school there are now
425 students and until the new build
ing is completed these students must
be crowded into their present quarters.

PENSACOLA Wins
FROM DE FUNIAK
Visitors Line Broken Through
at Will by Locals in SmasheS
for Good Gains.

BY a score of As to nothing the Pen
sacola High football team took down
the hopes Of the visitors from Wal
ton High Of DeFuniak spNngs yes
terday afternoon at Maxent park. The
locals aggregation was on the offense
throughout the game with the excep-
ton of one time in the last quarter
of the game when the visitors car
ried the ball down the field by downs
until it was within the 10 yard line
of Pensacola's goal.
On tumble from an attempted pass
the visitors lost their only chance at
a possible score and the ball was
kicked out of danger. 1t was recov-
cred by Pensacola after the locals had
carried the visitors backward on every
down and at the close of the game
the ball was within a few yards Of
DeFuniaks goal
The two teams were about evenly
matched in weight, Pensacola's line
being slightly heavier while the back
field was slightly in favor of De
Funiak. The locals put up good work
on the offense. but did not show up
SO well on the defense. DeFuniak
could not hold the local boys and
down after down was made against
their line.
The locals went through the line of
the visitors almost at will and made
some good gains on end runs. A few
forward passes We're completed in
good form by Pensacola but their COM
pletion was due more to lack of prop
or interference than to ability on the
part Of the ones maL,2g the passes.
One touchdown was made on a trick
play that took the visitors by surprise
and the ball was over the line before
DeFuniak knew what had happened.
The BAH was on the six yard line
when Pensacola's team was called
back seemingly for a conference. The
ball went into place while the back
field continued the conference. The
ball went into rday and DeFuniak
players came TO life when their cap
tain told them 10 watch the ball. It
was over the line by that time and
Tom Johnson kicked the goal.
The first few minutes of the game
told the visitors that they We're beaten
and ia that time the ball was carried
over the line on straight downs. This
performance was repeated a few min
utes later and the end OF the first
quarter gave Pensacola two touch
downs to the visitors nothing Neither
goal was kicked by Pensacola Jim
Gerald carried the ball over on the
first and Ernest Lempke carried ii
over on the second.
F'umbles were frequent, both De-
Funiak and Pensacola losing the ball
in critical periods. Penalizing was
about equally divided by Referee
Mccarthy, though the game was
usually free from dirty plays. A slug
ging match INDUCED in one instance
cost one team 25 yards. but other
penalties were occasioned by talking.
off sides and usual wrong plays
When the game was over Pensacola

How can you make a rainbow in

Il know that" cried James. "Just
look through a glass prism. and then
you can see all the rainbow colors on
the wall. That's easy and it's not so
awful much fun. either"

bubble few up into the air and
bounced dangerously against the cell
ing"
Il think spool soap bubbles are lots
OF fun, don't you James?" asked Belle.
But James was having too good time
to answer such a foolish question.
OF course blowing bubbles is fun,
and blowing them through a spool is
Just twice as much fun as any other
way. In the first place. you do not
have to put on rubbers and raincoat
and carry an umbrella down to the
corner in all the wet to buy a pipe at
the little store. Every household har-
bors spools. and a spool soap bubble
party can be arranged in less time
than It takes to tell. Try It for your
self and see. But be careful-be sure
you blow the bubble out OF the spool
and not into It. The spool is not as
long as the stem of pipe and even a
little intake Of breath will give you a
mouthful OF soap suds and you know
that is not very pleasant sensation.
once you have produced a bubble and
tried this method you will Immediately

you will never want to blow bubbles

She took up the owl and smoothed

quite a millinery triumph out OF the

Exactly" answered mother, "and
then all your blowing and putting is for
nothing"
"But what makes the colors and pic

Belle.
"The soap makes the water even
more Of a rejecting surface than It
ordinarily is. and as the light is caught
and reflected by the rounded surface
OF the bubble It throws of the various
colors that we see. The bubble Is like
that rainbow in that no two persons
ever see just the same colors or pic
lures in It at the same time, because
no two persons eyes are ever at ex-
actly the same spot at the same mo-
ment and the reflections and refrac-
tions OF light in the bubble are chang
ing constantly. The pictures are also
reflections OF the various objects that
are within the neighborhood OF the

corner Of the cut will explain what the
different figures on the drawing refer
to.
Now for the chair. It is made simi-
lar to the table-only one-half lengths
are used. and three extra toothpicks
and two peas make the back.
Try the giraffe next. 1t will be very
simple because you can tell what
length toothpick to use by referring to
the table in the corner. The ears and
tail are the only new parts needed and
they are just little short pieces Of
toothpiclss.
Make the dog and horse according
TO the numbers on the drawing, These
are different from the giraffe, only in
the lengths of toothpicks, and the
horse has a pea stuck on the end of
his tail. After the peas have dried
for a few hours, a nose, mouth and
eyes can be put on with ink.
Now make the baby bed. man and

picks are pushed into them, neither
should they be so soft that the skin
will peal off.
Thin FIAT toothpicks are better than
the larger round peas. A pen knife
can be used to sharpen the ends of the
toothpicks, also to cut them in differ
ent lengths. Cut and sharpen num-
Der OF toothpicks in three-quarter, one
half. and one-quarter lengths. Often #
is convenient to thread a pea to the
center OF a toothpick. For this pur-
pose whittle the toothpick as thin as
possible. but not so thin that It will
break.
It IS best to begin with a simple ar
ticle-a table. for instance. Select
four whole and four three-quarter
length toothpicks and four peas. Make
the top first and then stick the legs in
