Cut the piece from which it is to
be made to the desired length, mark
the 2" hole and cut 1t out with a COM
tension bit which is preferable II
one is available. then mark and cut
the tapers. smooth and stain. or paint
it as desired. It may be fastened to
the wall by screws through the holes
shown in the sketch.
Another implement, existing only
for the good it may do in the world
is the clothes stick; 1t may be made
of ash. elm or similar wood of medium
hardness. The form shown in the
sketch has been found efficient. for
while It picks the clothes out of the
boiler quickly and surely, it's tapering
end permits them to slip off the stick
by the turn of the wrist. There is no
doubt that the stick will answer ths
purpose for which it is intended quite
as we'll If 1t is not an accurate repro
duction OF the form shown in the
sketch. but It Is absolutely necessary
that the stick should not splinter or
rough up in hot water to the extent
that there is danger that splinters
may enter the hands. hence It is i'm
perative that each corner should be
rounded generously and sandpapered
Even the edges of the a. hole near
the top of the stick to allow the stick
to be hung up should be rounded.
Beside the value of the stick for its
legitimate purpose. its shape and size
render it a most convenient accessory
for the correction Of a deserving
juvenile
