The HANDY BOY At HONEI
By CHARLES A KING.
STAT E NORMAL SCHOOL. PLYMOUTH. NH

- HESE plant sticks are excellent
a projects for the Handy Boy"
- who likes to paint in bright
colors. and they make a very effective
addition to a flower bed.
The sticks a may be made of any
size or length desired. The butterflies
and owl may be made OF thin wood
and fastened to the end OF the sticks.
In making them the coping saw will
be useful. for with it the small curves
may be shaped accurately. but care
must be used to be sure the edges are
square with the broad surfaces. and
the only way TO do this is by keeping
the saw at right angles with the sur
faces at all times.
The wood need not be more than
$40" in thickness. The dotted squares
will assist the Handy Boy" in MAX
ing them of any desired size. for he
has only to enlarge the squares pro-
portionately and copy the lines in
their relation to the squares, and it
will be an easy matter to make them
of any size. II the owl is 81 high and
the butterflies from 4" to g. their
largest way they will be satisfactory
The colors may be made as brilliant
as desired, for the colors mentioned
are only suggestions. Liberties may
be taken with the butterflies, but who
ever saw d yellow. blue and red owl?
If one is inclined to be realistic I will
introduce him to the tumus butterfly
at g. 1t is common. but handsome
yellow and black fellow whom all rec
ognize. The n1orpho at is a som Der
iridescent blue, with purple MARKINGS
and shaded with a soft black. He is
an immigrant. for he came from
Brazil and is highly priced by collec-
tors for his beauty and scarcity.

BMA ANY of US spend more time
u wastefully than we do profit
81 Hably. Odd moments slip from
y I'M kus and are lost before We are
aware OF them. One day a young
friend of mine. a high school pupil,
read in an old lesson book this adage:
Lost, somewhere between sunrise and
sunset. sixty golden minutes set with
sixty diamond seconds. Finder need
not return, for they can never be re-
placed.
This made my friend think of the
many precious minutes she was losing
every day, and being of an expert
mental turn of mind she determined
to see IL she could not make use of her
odd moments. Her one great hobby
was writing: Stories. verses. descrip-
tive paragraphs-anythi that could
be set down upon paper. but alas her
spare time for this occupation was
limited. Following her resolve to
utilize odd moments she purchased a
f4ve-cent note book, which she carried
to school with her. and at the close of
each one hour lesson period, between

1t is frequently asserted that he was

was an Austrian officer, 1908, a grad

young foreign nobleman for whom
excellent American millionaires ex-

In 1909 he arrived in New York,

Carl Won Stroheim lit out for Califor-

taking care of the Muir woodland,

himself to several Los Angeles pro-
