COUSIN HELEN'S LETTER

Mother Nature is an industrious
lady and is especially busy these
days. She is getting all her winter
preparations completed. She has
had a long, busy summer, and now
our fathers and mothers are stor-
ing up this bountiful harvest.
We, too, are busy adding to our
storehouse of knowledge each day,
at school. However, the mere gain
ing of information-no matter how
important it may be-is worthless
unless 1t leads to hcalthful habits
of living.
/ wonder if there is anything so
much to be desired as good health?
Without health, we Juniors would
be unable to attend school and, in
deed, if we do not have health it is
very hard, If not impossible, to alb
sorb the teaching that is given us
and are not able to go to school we
will not be able to prepare our
selves properly for our lives as men
and women in the business world.
Recognizing that it is necessary
to build a strong foundation when
building a big bullying, is the same
reason adopted by present-day peo-
pie in taking care of the physical
education of the children of today.
If we are to be strong men and
women we must be strong, healthy
boys and girls. Thus our schools
have gymnasiums to develop mus
cles and expand lungs and do all
the developing work that is neees-
sary to the growing boy and girl.
In order to be well and grow
right, and in order that we may be
able to think without distractions
in our minds, we are examined by
school physicians every year and
they tell our parents if there is
anything that will be detriment
to us in the years to come.
There are certain rules of the
game" that must be followed if one
is to obtain weight and rosy cheeks.
There are eight of these rules and
their power is unlimited:
/. A full bath more than once
week.
2. Brushing the teeth at least
once every day.

HOW TO BUILD THE MoToR,BAsE

The drawing today shows the
motor,base OF the model aeroplane
complete with the tail-plane and
rudder. Also at the front the skids
are shown which act as the chassis
of the airplane and from which the
model will rise from the ground
under it's own power at the start Of
a flight
The motor-base is made OF a
stick of white pine which Is sawed
and planed smooth to a piece II
inches long. 3-16 inch wide, and
l-16 inch thick.
The framework for the tail-plane
and rudder and also the wooden
landing skids are split from bam-
boo. such as can be had from an
ordinary flshpole. This wood can
be easily split with the grain
straight by means of jack-knife.
The pith on the inside should be
cut away and the hard outside shell
cut off, then the stick split until 1t

DIAGRAM

The motor-base. Bind 1t at right
Ingles to the larger piece with silk
thread.
Measure 2 inches forward on the
motor-base and mark the point.
From here two pieces OF bamboo
extend to the tips Of the first
piece. Glue and bind In position.
This forms the triangular frame
work for the tail-plane shown in
the drawing.
For the rudder a piece of bamboo
8 inchea long is bound so as to ex-
tend straight TO the rear OF the
motorbase. Directly behind the
motor-stick a piece inches long is
bound upright TO this and a third
piece connects the tips OF the other
two. This forms the triangular rud.
der. Make all joints with glue and
silk thread. A careful study of the
drawing will give better idea OF
the arrangement of the tail-planes,
which are now completed.

oliver Wendell Holmes

In the village of Cambridge in
the early part of the nineteenth
century there was but one school
building, and 1t was on the main
street.
About two blocks from the school
there was a glove-maker's shop and
suspended above the door, was a
huge wooden hand, which swung
back and forth when the wind
blew.
There was one little boy who was
afraid of this hand and the terrible
noise 1t made when 1t creaked and
swung over his head on his way to
school. His imagination made him
fear that some day it would reach
down and pick him up, so he could
not go home to get his supper and
go to bed.
Oliver Wendell Holmes-for that
was the boys name-grew to be a
man with the same imagination.
That Is why he could write the
wonderful poems which brought
him worldwide fame.

The Faithful Dog

Once upon time there was a
boy. who had very fine hound.
The dog thought so much Of the
boy, that it followed him continu-
ally. Every time the boys father
and he went out hunting, the dog
had to go along.
Vhe dog was fine rabbit dog.
The boy had a rifle that he always
took with him. His father would
let him try to shoot a rabbit. He
had shot few squirrels but never
a rabbit. The dog would chase the
rabbits up to them and his father
would shoot all he could. This day,
when they were out, his father shot
~ rabbits, and he shot three SPUR
rels. OF course, they would not
have got any, had 1t not been for
the dog
They all went home SO hungry.
After they had eaten their supper,
the faithful dog was given the re-
mains for his helpfulness.- willard

Sincerely,
COUSIN HELEN

the Flicker spends much of his
time on the ground, where he eats
ants. have stood within four feet
of a Flicker, who had found such
a fino nest of ants that he did not
want to leave. He kept one eye on
me and ate ants as fast as he
could. One man took the trouble to
count the ants In a Flicker's stom-
ach and found that there were
5000 of them! Since ants often
harm crops, the Flicker is useful
bird.
Woodpecker's Strange Cousins
Two cousins of the Flicker are
not SO well known. These are the
Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers.
They look much alike, but the
Downy is much smaller, being
about the size of an English spar
row, while the Hairy is nearly as
big as a robin. Both are specified
black and white, and are seen on
the sides of trees. The Downy is
more comon than the Hairy. Both
are useful birds and we ought to-
protect them, but many persons
mistake them for their cousin, the
Sapsucker, and shoot them.
The Sapsucker is migrant. He
is here for only few weeks in
early spring, on the way from his
winter home In the south to his
breeding place in Canada: but
while he Is here he makes us dis
like to have him in our yards, be-
cause he bores holes in our shade
and fruit trees to get the sap. |
saw a pine tree In Glen Miller that
had been killed in this way. We
are glad that they do not stay long
and should be careful not to con-
fuse the harmful Sapsucker with
the useful Downy and Hairy.
You can always tell a Sapsucker
by the fact that he has large
white splotch on each wing, while
both the Downy and Hairy have a
white streak down the middle of
the back.
If you will watch the woodpeck-
ers, and observe their interesting
habits, l believe you will want to
protect them rather than to harm
them. WILLARD MARKIE.

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin was a happy
boy. His mother had given him a
few pennies to spend however he
pleased, and pennies in those days
to the Franklin children were
treasures.
On his way to the store, he met a
boy with whistle which had such
loud, clear tone, that he wanted
one just like it.
Arriving at the toy shop he threw
his pennies on the counter and told
the shop-keeper he would give
them all to him for a whistle. The
shop-keeper laid out a number on
the counter and Ben selected one
just like the other boy had.
He went home and proudly ex-
hibited his prize. When he told
his brothers what he had paid for
it they laughed and said he had
paid four times more than the or
binary price.
Little Benjamin burst into tears
and threw the whistle away, for he
did not like 1t any more.
Benjamin Franklin never forgot
about the whistle. When he wanted
to buy something he didn't need,
he would say to himself, don't pay
too much for the whistle"

Spooky Bat Provided
With Hand-like Wings
when the bats are in the beltry."

when the bats are In the belfry."
There is something spooky about
bat. The way they go flying
about--always at night, never by
day-around street lights, In hay
lofts, In church steeples, and other
unusual places, make them weird
animal. They are strange crea-
lures. If you have ever seen them
at zoo, you will remember that
their fore paws, or hands, are de-
veloped into wings. The fingers or
claws, are extended, and between
each is q thin membrane. From the
little finger, or claw, is solid
membrane, which extends to the
ankles OF the hind legs.
The object of the elongation of
the fingerjoints is to give the ami
NAL the power of extending the
wing membrane. or folding 1t at
pleasure. When the bat wishes to
walk, 1t half folds the membrane
and drags itself along by its thumb,
which is no part of the wing, and
which is veritable hook. From
this strange mode OF travelling, you
can imagine what an odd, sham
bling gait 1t has.
The membrane of the bat is very
interesting 1t is well supplied
with nerves, and is very sensitive,
and presumably gives the bat
sense independent of sight.
The usual food of bats is insects,
which they capture mostly on the
wing, but some, as the vampire"
variety, suck blood from animals.
A few kinds OF bats live upon
fruits, and devastate whole crops in
southern localities, where they are
found. Even the cccoanut is not
free from these ravishing bats.
The bite of bat is smaller than
a pin-prick, and often an animal or
a man is bitten while asleep and
does not know it. But the animal,
like our summer pest, the mosquito,
gets its supper from his blood.

Jack Ride

One day two boys, whose names
are Jim and Jack. saw a donkey
in the field close by.
Jim said, Lets have some fun!
I'll fill my hat with grass if you'll
take the first ride"
"All right" said Jack
Jim got the grass and Jack went
up to the side of the donkey and
got on. Jack and Jim began laugh
ing, for they thought it was fun;
but the donkey began kicking.
There was pond close by, and
head-first over the donkey went
lack into the pond. Jim came
running down the hill and pulled
him out. He got out all right
Jim did not take his ride.-Opal

teresting. Since nearly all the
members of this family stay all
winter, this is good time to learn
about them
OF course, you know the Flicker,
or Yellow Hammer, as he Is some
times called. The first name is
given, because one of his calls
sounds like the word flicker re-
peated over and over. He has the
other name because the under sides
of his wings are yellow and be-
cause he hammers loudly with his
beak. | believe this noise Is made
mostly because ne likes to play q
drum and not because he is drilling
for insects; for he is just as likely
as not to hammer on piece of tin
on the roof of house.
Flickers seem to get great deal
of amusement out of life. They
chase one another from limb to
limb or play hide-and-seek around
the trunk as they perch on the side
of the tree in the queer way that
woodpeckers have-by bracing
themselves with their odd, short
tails. Most birds have three toes
in front and one behind on each
foot, but woodpeckers have two
toes in front and two behind, which
no doubt fits them for holding to
vertical tree trunks.
The Flicker has more colors than
any other bird we have, | believe.
See If you can quietly come near
one to name the colors. Does he
have a red crescent on the back or
his head? A black crescent for a
neck-tie? Mr. and Mrs. Flicker
look very much alike, but Mr..
Flicker has neat black moustache.
See If you can see it.

by boring holes in dead trees, but

DISH TOWELS.

With good linen dishtowollng
down to a quarter of a dollar the
yard again there is no reason every
housewife should not have plenty OF
fresh. presentable dishtowels in her
kitchen. A dozen dishtowels, some
on the rack, crispy folded some
soaking in cold water; and some laid
in piles I'm the linen drawer, used to
be the average proper supply I'm
even the humblest home. Dish
towels were not supposed to be spe-
cial luxuries and one caught up n
crossbarred towel to take hot pans
out OF the oven or mop up milk
spilled on the table.
But housewives have come to re-
Gard linen dishtowels with reverence
in the past few years. Crossbarred
tea towels and crash plate towels
have risen to the dignity of we'd
ding presents. and in many n kitch-
en- old flour bags and discarded face
towels, too ragged to use IN the bath
room, have hung on the dishtowel
rack. Now, with dishtoweling OF
honest-to-goodnes linen weave at
reasonable prices again, every
kitchen may be proud of its neat
rackful of blue crossbarred or red
striped dish towels.
