A VACATION RECORD BOOK.

Any notebook will serve as a vaca-
ton diary, but l would suggest that
you make a loose-leaf book like that
in Fig. l. which will permit the addi-
ton Of pages from year to year.
You may make the covers of what
ever shape and size you want, but
would suggest width of IA inches
and height of eight inches as being
about right. Cardboard from boxes
may be used for the covers. Fig 2

front cover OBJ. Cut them of equal
size, then cut strip three-quarters

when suddenly Soper gasped that he
had been struck by a RATHER
The nearest town was 10 miles
away. Having had some training as
a nurse, the girl knew that only by
sucking out the poison could she save
his life. She knew, too, that any
abrasion in her mouth, any decayed
tooth through which the venom might
enter her system, meant her own prob
able death.
She applied a tourniquet below the
sufferers knee to prevent the poison
from spreading. Then she made a cut
across the purple dots which marked
the entrance of the. reptiles fangs to
give a larger bleeding surface. This
done she applied her lips to the wound.
When no more blood could be drawn
the party carried Mr.. Soper to their
automobiles and drove to COcoanut
Grove. The physician there declared
that Miss Holsten's quick action saved
the clergymans life. Although gan
creme set in, it rose no higher than the
place marked by Miss HOlstein's
tourniquet, and in a month the Rev
erend Mr.. Soper was well. The hero
inc suffered only bad headache.

and Is proud of it. Now Los Angeles
has taken a fall out of old He G. L.
by inventing the barberia, which will
soon be as popular as other establish
ments whose principal feature is that
the customer waits on himself
The barberia was conceived in the
brain of an old-time barber who began
to worry over his loss of trade when
the increased prices went into eff
feet. Investigation showed him that
his Old patrons were shaving them
selves, and it struck him that it would
be good idea to establish a shop
where these new self-shavers could
be supplied with all the paraphernalia
necessary to do their own operating.
1t proved an instant success, and in
