The Children's Hour

Tom may think bubble blowing a
girls pastime, but when he finds what
tricks can be done he will doubtless
change his opinion. Here is one for
a starter.
Dip a small dish or saucer into the
soap solution. Then with a funnel
blow a bubble onto the dish. Next
take a straw (the kind used for drink
ing soda) and dip one end into the
solution. 1t can then be thrust into
the bubble. By blowing at the other
end small bubble will form inside
the large bubble. Make the bubble So
luton thus: One quart water, four
fifths ounces CASTLE soap powder. AL
low the powder to dissolve. Then add
one-third pint glycerin. Let stand
until all bubbles disappear. This
gives the best results. When
these ingredients cannot be obtained
use the following: Rub ordinary soap
into a bowl of water until heavy
lather has formed on the surface. Re
move the lather and all bubbles, and
test the solution by dipping the fore
finger in it. Thrust your finger into
the bubble The bubble should not
break If it does. add more soap.
other tricks will be described later.

Things for Boys
to Make
Waterproof Paper

When you want waterproof paper
you want it quickly. Melt some par
affin in shallow pan over slow heat,
bringing it almost to boiling, and
pass the paper or cardboard to and
fro through the solution. Should this
leave the deposit too heavy for your
needs increase the heat and repeat
the dipping. The hotter the wax the
better it soaks into the fiber OF the
paper and the more nearly water
proof will the paper be.
Sometimes, by using clear paraffin,
printed cards, ETC., treated in this
way may be made to look like some
thing more than mere printing.

DUMP PILE RANSACKED
FOR CANS TO EXCHANGE

Galveston, Tex, Aug. 14.-That

ton recently when tin cans began
to appear before a local moving

to the number that should have
made their appearance as figured
out by local statisticians for the
manager of the show.
The idea Of a publicity stunt that
would attract the public attention
to the show and at the same time
be of benefit to the city at large
was to give a free ticket to every
person who brought as many as
four tin cans to the theater.
Young Americans were on the
job Immediately and to their idea
a tin can is a tin can, no matter
its place of origin. That Galveston
