AN sure that a great many moth
ers have a pair of salt and pepper
shakers around the house for
which there Is no means of hold
ing them. The holder described today
Is the result Of just such a condition
in my home. We had two nice glass
shakers. OF the long slender kind. and
they were continually falling over. At
last it became tiresome and after a
little time spent with piece Of paper
and lead pencil, the design as shown
was evolved. It did not stop there.
however. but the holder was construct
ed and is today serving a very prac-
teal purpose.
The best way to proceed in this con-
Struction will be to first get out a
piece OF stock for the part the holes
are to be cut in. 1t is suggested that
it be the same length as the bottom
piece. and also as wide. with the
height equal to two and three-ouarter
inches less the thickness of the boz
tom. This will give you a SQUARE
piece Of stock. From the center of
the piece. lay out the holes and the
part that Is to be removed for the
handle. Make the holes FIRST, boring
the hole with the proper size BIT, then
removing the balance of the stock
with a chisel. To do a good lob this
part OF the work should be laid. out
from both slices Of the piece and the

not have the proper support for saw
ing. This may be overcome by secur-
Ing piece Of stock four or five inches
long and as high as possible without
interfering with the sight of the curves
10 be cut. making sure that two sur
faces OF the piece are exactly square
with each other. With one Of these
surfaces on the saw table and the
other resting against the piece we are
working on, you Will have a support
that will permi. the cutting to be done
without any trouble.
The making Of the knob for the top
OF The handle will be somewhat diff
cult. First square 1t up to the largest
dimensions and lay out and cut the
mortlse. Then lay out the various
curves and cut to shape. All these
curves are left for your own designing
so far as any actual layout of them is
concerned. The limits are given and
the curves are drawn within those lin
Its. but the exact form OF the curve Is
left with the individual.
Almost any kind of wood will be
suitable for this holder. The one
made as referred to above was from
gumwood. stained to suit the dining
table and buffet. then sheliaced. After
being rubbed down. wax was applied.
BE careful about the sbellac No.
much should be applied. and it should
be in thin coats

money and he saved and saved and
then, when he had twenty-five cents
he bought a stamp-and that was d
nroud moment for him you may be
sure.
But he couldn't buy enough with
money that was given him only OH
rare occasions. He wanted an allow
ance like the other boys had so he TOO
could report what he had done WITH

triot and buy with money that ne
saved instead Of wasted. But his moth
er didn't believe in allowances for boys
and there seemedsno othex way to ges
cash.
When he was given beautiful new
