THE BOY GOT 1T

A hungry traveller put his head
out of car window as his train pull
led up to small station, and said
to boy:
Here, boy, take this dime and
get me a sandwich, will you? And,
by the way, here's another dime.
Get sandwich for yoursel, too
The boy with evident satisfaction,
darted away and returned, MUNICH
ing a sandwich. just as the train
was starting off. He ran to the
traveller, handed him a dime, and
said:
Here's yer dime back, boss.
they only had one sandwich left

shades of gray. To make the gray
in it. the black and white must be
broken up or mixed together-as
is done in half-tone.
"If you look closely at news
paper print of photograph, you
will see that it divides into thous-
ands of little squares with lines of
white running each way. These
lines are made by a screen that
breaks up the black and white to
produce gray. The half-tOne plate
is made photographically just like
the line engraving-except that
when the engraver takes his pic
ture of the original photograph, he
places screen in his camera to
break up the light. This screen is
made of glass with fine rulings on
it. The light, broken by the screen
strikes the negative in thousands
of small dots and so the half-tone
plate made from this dotted mega
tive consists of countless metal dots
or points. Wherever the photograph
was dark, the dots on the plate are
large, SO that they print more
black than white, and produce dark
gray. Wherever the photograph
was light, the dots are small and
produce light gray.
For photographs to be reprinted
on smooth paper the half-tone
plate is copper and made with fine
screen with from 100 to ESQ lines
per inch. For coarse paper the
plate is zinc with a coarse screen
of from 60 to IS lines per inch.
Such coarse plate must be used
for stereotyping, or the papier-ma-
che mat will OF get into all the de-
pressiOne. This blurred picture re-
suits from an attempt to stereotype
too fine a cut"

A Snowstorm in Vacation

The Monday before New Years.
Tracy, John, Morris, Ben and l went
out to slide. When we were going
it was showing so that you could
just see ten yards ahead of you.
Flute our dog we could just see.
When we got out there we slid.
When we got cold we built a fire
and got warm, Then we went
over the hill and it had showed
enough that we could coast dandy.
When we got cold We went home.

WHY WE SHOULD SAVE

A good American saves his mon.
ey for Thrift Stamps. If man
has a store he can save some of the
money he makes in the store. If
people have garden they can sell
some of the things they raise and
save the money for Thrift Stamps
or Liberty Bonds. If children
would save every penny and nick
ell, they could buy Thrift Stamps

top Of the posts. If you can't get
a net, rope stretched from the top
of one post to another will do. Mark
out your court about Is feet wide by
SO feet long. A basketball will do
if the kind of ball described above
can not be had.
The game can be played by any
number of people from two to- a
dozen or more. The opposing
teams are posted on opposite sides
of the net. To start the game one
person acts as server. The server
places himself with one foot on the
back line of the court away from
the net and bats the ball over it
with the palm of his hand. The
players on the opposing side try to
bat it back over the net. If it
touches the ground before they can
do so, it counts one score for the
servers side. If they are able to
knock it back then is is up to the
servers team to return it. Ii they
are unable to do so and it touches
the ground, it counts one score for
the opposing side. Whenever the
ball touches the ground, it counts
one score for the opposing side.
The team which first makes a GER
tain number of points may be de-
clared the winner, or the game may
be played for a certain period of
time the team making the greatest
number of points in that time win
ming.
Considerable science and team
work may be developed in knocking
the ball from one person to another
on the same side until chance
comes to bat it over the net into
an open space not played by one of
the opposing side.

To the Egyptians dogs were much
more than either assistants in the
chase or household pets. They were
objects of veneration and worship.
They appear in the frieZes of the
temples, and were regarded as d.
vine emblems.
"HerodOtus tells us that when
a dog belonging to an Egyptian
family died, the members of the
household shaved themselves as an
expression of their grief, and adds
that this was the custom in his
own day.
%. The dog is the one animal
which can follow men all over the
earth and adapt himself to every
climate and every use to which his
master chooses to put him"

With less than ten census districts
to be completed before nightfall to-
morrow and most of these near a

today felt assured that the end of the
census enumeration in the District of
Columbia would come tomorrow.
Nearly $50 portfolios had been
turned in up to a late hour this after
noon. leaving less than ten to be COM

the rest of the districts not yet com

anticipated the end of the census, al

Washington is far ahead of any city
of similar size in completed portfo-

director of the census, said today
New York city and Chicago and sew

CONGRESS OBJECTS
TO JAP CITIZENS
GETTING PUBLIC LAND

HONOLULU, T. H., April H.
CRv Associated Press Mail Rob
ert w. Single, Territorial Sene-
tor and member of the Legislative
commission which recently returned
from Washington. in an open letter
ia the Pacific Commercial Adver-
tiser published here today declared
that many congressman opposed OPP
eninc of public lands in Hawaii
TO demonstrating because of increas-
ing numbers of japanese in the
Territory obtaining American citi-
zershlp.
The United states Congress is
almost unanimously adverse to the
granting of homestead privileges on
highly developed public lands in
the Territory of Hawaii, because it
is nv no means satisfied Of the com
nlete sincerity of Americanism in
the growing class citizenship in
t,eso islands" the letter said
Il allude to Hawiian-born Japan
ese. thousands of whom annually
come into the sacred inheritance of
American citizenship.
Neither Congress nor has any
intention of calling into question
the loyalty of Hawiian-born Japan
csc in this Territory. However,
America learned a bitter lesson OF
naturalization during the past five
years. one of which cost dear in
blood and ideals.
The problems involved in efforts
to obtain a homesteading law, were
based upon a desire of the Terri
turial Legislature to provide some
means for restoration of public lands
to Hawaiians. Public lands have
been leased and control contained
by others than Hawiians. To secure
a return of these lands, on eXpira-
ton of leases, to iawaiians, a re-
Eabilitation bill was submitted to
Congress and urged by the Com

PITTSBURGH PEOPLE
GRAPHING WITH
HOUSING SITUATION

PITTSBURGH, April %. - I'm
portant industrial corporations in
the Pittsburgh district are financ-
ing home building operations by
their employees to relieve the house
shortage in mill and mining com
munities For the general public,
trust companies have adopted SINH
lar plans, and are now accepting
what they term "installment mes
sages" to encourage house erection.
The most ambitious program of
the lot is that of the United States
Steel Corporation. Under this plan
an employee, who is willing to
make an initial payment Of ten per
cent of the total cost, is permitted
to select from a large number of
plans the kind Of house that will
suit his family. He then picks out
a lot, usually near his place of en-
ployment, and the corporation
architects and builders do the rest.
When the house is completed, it is
turned over to the employe who
pledges himself to pay for it in
monthly installments covering a per-
iod of ten years, the total cost be-
ing just what the cost has been
to the corporation. Although this
plan is scarcely a month old, the
bureau in charge of building is al
ready swamped with applications.
The Westinghouse Electric &
Manufacturing company also has
building plan, and has just com
pleted and sold to employees 80
houses at cost. They too are to be
paid for on the installment plan.
Another and much larger program
is in preparation.
