Saturday evening a large party Of
townspeople and neighbors not know
ing anything about the party called
to celebrate in the old fashioned way,
with horns, empty barrels, dishpans,
and in fact anything that would make
q noise to give the popular young peo-
pie the proper sort of a commence

party already there, they refused to
come ii, but requested the neWlyWeds
to give them a dancing party at the

fully consented to and Monday night

The Helland-S Strand store was brok-
en- into last Monday morning early by
small bows who live in the city and
two automatic revolvers and consid-
erable ammunition was taken. Tommy
Chapman, 12 years old, was discovered
with the guns and he confessed to
have taken them, but said that he
had taken nothing else. However,
Tuesday afternoon, small boys play
ing in the alley back OF the Holland
Strand store, found 9 22 rife and am
nunition hid in an old box pile, which
seems to disprove the Chapman boys
story. and as matters now stand It IS
not known for sure just what was
taken from the store. The boy got
into the store by removing 9 pane OF
glass from one Of the rear windows.

Every day it becomes more evident
that there is growing sentiment
among members Of the Senate finance
committee III favor of postponing all
tariff legislation until after the first
.of the year. There is realization
among the business interests OF the
country that the excessive duties OF
the Fordney bill would harm COM
merce more than helping it. The
United States is now an exporting
nation and we can not trade with Eur
ope unless we take her goods IN re-
turn.
Uncle Joe" Fordney, Trainer Of the
House tariff bill, is an old school
statesman Of the 1898 model. He is
not in touch with the latest interna-
tional economic developments. There
are wiser heads on the Senate finance
committee, however, and the Fordney
bill will be entirely rewritten before
it is allowed to come before the Sen
ate.
UNEMPLOYMENT is SERIOUS
aPan handlers are in evidence in
Washington these days and that IS
about the most convincing proof that
the unemployment situation has
reached very serious stage. Wash,
ington has very few industries and
most of its working population are on
the government payroll. This gives it
an illusory atmosphere OF prosperity.
IL is about the last city in the coun-
try to feel industrial depression and
this may explain why the President
and q majority of the Congressman
have apparently been blind to the
symptoms Of hard times that Were
manifest. everywhere else.
But now Washington has its quota
az iobless men and it. is nothing I'M
usual to be touched" several times
IA the course Of a short walk through
the business section. In other East
ern cities conditions are deplorahle
and authorities already are making
provision for bread ines" and soup
kitchens" this winter.
The Administration las finally been
stirred into calling an "unempIyymen
conference" but the plans OF the
President are very vague and those N
touch with affairs here do not believe
that it will materially relieve the sit
nation. This would require drastic
measures and the Harding cabinet
would shrink from taking any social
istic steps" even to relieve such wide
spread distress.

chine is removed and q long board
fastened in its place.
The frame Of machine A Is made OF
two by tours while the top OF. the bed
and treadle are made Of y" stock.
The tail stock is an important part
and is detailed. While the means of
forcing the dead center against the
work is not as convenient as in the
regular shop lathes still it can be
made to hold the work in good shape.
The tool rest is shown on the as
sembled drawing in the lower right
hand corner, its construction is sim
pie. The slot made down the center
of the top of the bed is for the bolts
that hold the tail stock and tool rest
in place. The "" strips are to guide
the tail stock.
1t will be noted that the chisels used
for wood turning are ground differ
emily than ordinary ohisels. Many diff
ferent shaped chisels are required for
making different cuts on a wood turn
ing lathe, but the gouge and skew
chisels are most essential. Books can
be obtained at any public library CIV
ing all required Information on wood
turning and also drawings Of practice
exercises and models. 1t is suggested
that books on t~reatingsthis subject be
studied by the amateur before at
tempting to do work on a turning

white rabbits! If those little creatures
had jumped up and danced a ring

not have been more amazed! Rabbits,
four of them. lying In her pile OF
grass!
For a second the little creatures
blinked at the bright. hot sunshine
then they burrowed their tiny pink
noses IN the grass. Bright sunshine,
little girls and the big world around
were too much for them.
Esther stood for a moment looking
dazedly at them. and then she did the
very best thing she could do-she
dropped the pile of grass she had
picked up and covered them tight.

useful things.
Another boy purchased a small lathe
such as shown at D. while still an
other bought parts as at E and made
his own bed of heavy oak pieces. Both
these boys got second hand motors
taken from Burroughs Adding Ma
chimes. One paid IS for his motor
while the other paid $40. After be-
ing equipped with large pulleys these
motors furnished good power for do
ing light work. They turn lamps,
.pedestals, spoons. rolling pins, etc.
The machines shown at A and c
were made by boys who were not
fortunate enough to be able to pur-
chase either lathe parts or motors.
They were determined to have lathes,
however, and so made their turning
lathes from discarded sewing ma
chimes. In each case the head of the
machine was sawed off with a hack
saw exposing the shaft. The end of
the shaft was then filed as the live
center to grip one end OF the wood.
A dead center was filed from a piece
Of scrap iron and fitted in the tail
stock.

EE! What is It? It's getting
4 dark" George craned his neck
up, but in the grove where they
~ stood the evergreens were so
bushy and thick only a glimpse of the
sky could be had.
Branches and leaves began to fall
about them and George and his broth
er Ed decided to move away. They
scrambled UP the stony bank Of the
stream which they had been exploring
and ran into the woods on the other
side where the foliage was still new
and scant.
TITS a b~alloon!" cried Ed. pointing,
his voice husky with excitement.
"Look!"
They're sending down a mani"
cried George.
Sure enough As the balloon how
cred owe the trees a man was seen
coming down.
What a reckless thing to dol" ex-
aimed George. Hell be sure to
get cut and scratched and like as not
killed. Let's go over there. Maybe
we could help"
They crossed the brook again and
entered the spruce grove on the other
side. Just as they reached 1t they
heard a cry and the swapping of
branches. They followed h sounds
and saw a man sliding down one of
the trees. He was a young fellow
about seventeen or eighteen years old
and when HI reached the ground he
rubbed his wrist and felt of his face
as IL he had been hurt. but not badly.
AS eager as the boys were to question
him and draw close, something held
them back. George cautiously sat
down and pulled Ed beside him.
There's something queer about
| this" George whispered. We'd better
go slow"
Meanwhile the stranger went on
feeling of himsef. then all of a sudden
he dropped down in a heap on the
ground. OF course, the boys hurried
forward then. They found that he
had tainted, so while Ed hastily ex-
amined him to see II lie were hurt
George ran for water. Ed found only
a few scratches. The young man must
have had a weak heart. When he
came to they had his collar off and
his head down.
! "The easel" were his first words.
"It's gone! The easel" Then he saw
the boys and pulled himself together.
"You tainted" said George. you'll
be all right"
The stranger groaned and looked
up. Through a little opening in the
pines could be seen the balloon a
mere speck in the sky. Then he looked
Euspfcforisly at the boys and bit his
lips. George calmly pulled out a
large meat sandwich from his pocket
and took a huge bite. for it was almost

A NOVEL PARTY

~ OBBY wanted to give a party
that was different from any other
party that he had ever attended.
~ Mother always had the best ideas
so he sought her aid. She put on her
thinking cap and this is the party that
Bobby gave. The invitations were cut
from brown paper in the shape of a
Noah's Ark-the windows colored red
and the roof crayoned in green. On
the reverse side in white ink was writ
ten the message: Beware of the
Flood! If you want to escape climb
aboard the Ark next Saturday after
noon. Everybody must be aboard at
my house by three o'clock"
BOBBY BURNS,
1913 Green Road.
When the curious and excited little
guests arrived they were shown into
as many different rooms as possible
and after their hats and coats had
been removed each child was given a
mask representing some animal. Thus
disguised they trooped down stairs
where Bobby dressed liked Mr.. Noah
was waiting to greet them. Then each
guest was given a pencil and a piece
Of paper and the fun began. The

to play on!
ITS a good thing l put on this last
years dress" laughed Esther to her
self. "'cause then l don't need to
worry about grass stain. l can just
play on those piles all l want to!"
She set her dolls in state on one
pile and then plunked herself down on
the middle of the top of the other.
ugh! l like that" she said hap
PLY as she sank down, down, down. in
the soft greenness. Then she played
that the pile was a throne and that
the biggest doll was a queen and the
other doll was her lady in waiting.
That meant, of course, making a clover
crown and a clover train for each doll,
and a rope of clovers to mark the way
the queen should walk. Esther loved
making clover things and as her swift
fingers worked the morning slipped by
without her realizing at all that the
sun was getting hotter and hotter.
"Now I'll take some of the grass
from that other pile" said Esther.
thoughtfully, and make a little throne
beside this one, so the lady in waiting
may sit near. but not beside. the

She picked up a great armful of

game was to see how many Of the
animals they could ghess and as soon
as they discovered who it was that was
hidden beneath q mask, down on the
paper went the name Of that child. AT
the end of FIVE minutes the papers
were collected and the child with the
longest correct list received a book OF
animal stories as a prize.
Then the masks were taken off and
the children marched into the nurs-
cry, which was fixed up like a real
ark. Straw on the floor; and hay
piled In the corner for the animals to
enjoy on their long voyage. And such
games! Pin the trunk on the ele-
plant! Hunt the peanut! Circus
stunts! And then the ark dinner gong
sounded and the hungry animals fair
ly tumbled v themselves to get into
the dining room. The place cards
were little Noah's Arks and the favors
were tiny wooden animals.
Before the guests knew It. It was
time to go home, and a sorry crowd
they were to leave Ark Land. where
they had had such a jolly afternoon.

and look" said George.

The next day they returned avoiding
the Inn where they heard the young
stranger was staying. When they
reached the spot on the mountain side
who should be there but the man from
the sky, hunting and muttering to
himself.
Hes worried SICK" whispered Ed.
I'm beginning to believe your story"
"Hello!" called the man. Going to
try your luck again?
He looked discouraged, but deter
mined n they left him hunting in
the pine grove.

George to his brother. Its down
there in the brook. I see 1t from
here. Look! BY that big stone"
shall we get it and give 1t to him 2"
Ed replied.
mo, We'll look at It frst." George
answered. I'm not going to aid and
abet crime"
So they went on rustling around the
leaYes and hoping the stranger would
go away. But 1t was plain that he
meant to stay right where he was.
He had brought his lunch along. So
had the boys. They hung around and
hung around and at last Ed took off
his shoes and stockings and while
George diverted the mans attention
he fished the case out of the water
and put 1t in his pocket. Shortly aft
er that the boys said they must be
going home and they wouldn't accept
any pay for their services.
AS soon as they were well out of
sight and hearing they opened the
case. In 1t lay a wonderful pearl
necklace on a black velvet lining. 1t
must have been worth thousands of
dollars. The boysrstared and stared.
Now whatIl we do with it?'
George asked.
Tell Dad all about It,. Ed decided.
Two excited boys oon cornered
their father IN his little country store,
told him the whole story and showed
him the necklace. They went at once
to the sheriff.
well, your Imagination was right
for once, George" said Ed, admiring-
ly, as they left the court house late
one afternoon. But who would have
thought that plain ordinary fellows
like us should see a real smuggler
and help catch him and his gang and
get a reward? Pinch me! I don't
feel it's real yeti"

>HE first day Of vacation was
warm and sunny and Esther took
her two favorite dolls and went
out into the far garden. This
was the place she liked best to play
because it was so far away from the
house that one almost seemed to be
away on a visit. Also because Esther
liked the smell of the fresh earth and
the feeling of q garden near her.
Something always seems to be hap
peniny in a garden-something blooms
or is ripe ready to pick or is interest
ing to look at because 1t has grown so
rapidly-thers is always something to
see.
This particular morning Esther no.
tieed that the gardener had been cut
ting the grass on the lawn around the
house.
"Wonder where he put 1t ALL" she
thought, as she stepped over the fresh
cut grass. II 'spect he go a lot, be-
cause 1t was so long yesterday"
She had not long to wonder, for
when she reached the far off end of
the yard, there. at the edge of the
garden, were three great piles of
rreennees-fresh smelling and pretty.
they seemed Just made for a little girl

"Why-why-," began Esther.
They were there Just a minute ago!''

gardener because the grass Is still
warm. They are not far away. Wen

He laid down his hoe n rake and

But he needn't have worried. Those
tiny rabbits were-too frightened to run.

till he got into the very center Of the
great pile and there. snuggled down
tightly together-so tight they seemed
like one little round ball of whiteness

tenderly the gardener picked them up
and handed them to Bobby, n at a

Bobby, "let Esther help"
