AND HERE'S HOW YOU MAKE IT.
In the making of this miniature
float" upon which George Wash
ington rides in action, we are again
confronted with the problem of
making patterns for figures. The
method of doing this has been
described a number of times before,
but for the benefit of those who may
not have read the directions / shall
explain again.
Stiff PAPER or cardboard may be
used to lay out the patterns on il
you desire to make a number of
figures all alike. II, however, you
are certain only, one toy is to BE-
made. the pattern may be laid di-
rectiy on the wood. In either case
cover the surface of the material
with one-half-inch squares, ac-
curately made, as has been done in
A. B and c, in the illustration. Then
draw the lines of the figure through
the squares. Make the lines pa IS
through the same number Of squares
as the lines in the pattern in our
drawing pass through.
Then. If the pattern has been
laid out on paper. cut II out and
trace around II on the wood. But
II 1t has been laid out on the wood
itself, proceed to cut the figure out
carefully with your coping saw.
The top Of the float Is a plain
piece OF wood with slot cut in 1t
as shown in the Illustration.
The sides Of the float are shown
curved. These may be cut to suit
yourself. however.

'EX-SERVICE MAN
HASPROFTTABLE
TRACT OF LAND
John Pierce Makes $1,000
On a Ten-Acre Tract
of Land.

At Congress Heights. a suburb OF
Washington. d. c.. there Is a dis
abIed former service man who made
a profit of $4,000 on a ten-acre tract
of land during the past year. This
man. John Pierce, by name. was
trained by the government at Mary
land Agricultural College, and al
though he has not finished his
course. last year was by far the
biggest year he and his father
have ever experienced on their
farm. Young Pierce took over full
management OF their place fer the
first time in 1921.
According to his service record.
Pierce is suffering from the after
effects Of gas and from a gun-shot
wound In his right forearm He is
one Of q group of thirty-six dis
abled men being retained in prof.
ect" farm work at the Maryland in
stitute. Although there are a fetal
of 1o6 men being retrained at the
college. Pierce Is recognized as the
leader OF the project" working
group. and Is considered one of the
most successful students among all
the disabled men at the college.
The principle product of the
Pierce farm was tomatoes. OF which
more than 700 boxes were raised
selling in the Washington market,
for a total of s1.l55. In addition
to these, Pierce sold twenty-five
barrels Of string beans and eight
barrels of peas. for a total value
of $50: a quantity of beets for s25t
and a lot Of lettuce for another
$3.50, together with $50 worth Of
cabbage, making in all a total o'
| s1.s95. Besides these products
Pierce also raised . acres Of lat
beans. 2 acres Of corn. " acres o.
| spinach, IL acres OF turnips. y
acre Of sweet potatoes and II scr,
| of kale, most of which were sold
and went to make up for the cos
| of labor of two men hired for about
two months during the summer
Pierce also painted the house on hii
farm during the year.
The plan under which Pierce ant
the other thirty-hve project" mer
worked was to take the lecture and
demonstration course for special
students in poultry farming ant
horticulture. This is a two-yesl
| course. and during the summei
| each student is required to select 6
farm site or project. He begins the
| purchase of this farm and goes e
| work on il. The same success {,
not expected OF each student a.
Pierce, who already had possession
of his own farm. met with, but eacf
man during the past year showed &
marked degree of success.

TABLET ERECTED
TO HORSES In WAR
Ceremonies Mark dwelling
Of Tablet at State, War,
And Navy Building.

A bronze memorial tablet to
commemorate the horses ahd mules
which died during the great Euro.
pean war of 1914-1S was erected In
the State, War and Navy Depart
ment Building, Washington, D. c..
by the American Red Star Animal
Relief. The unveilng of this tab
let was the occasion of appropriate
ceremonies, and acceptance was
acknowledged on behalf of the
government by Gen. willard A.
Holbrook, chief of cavalry. in the
following words:
War has been from the begin
ming 80
Through the ages of conflict and
strife the horse has been the con.
slant companion and steadfast
friend of the soldier, sharing his
sufferings and dangers, his toll
and hardship. and consecrated the
battlefelds with his blood. The
mule likewise has been the army's
devoted friend, patiently bearing
his burden that the army might be
supplied.
Our British allies have paid
high tribute to the splendid serv-
ice rendered by the American horse
and the American mule during the
world war. Both were as indis-
pensable to the successful prose
cution of the war and to final VIC
tory as were shot and shell.
Many mechanical devices were
adopted as a partial solution of the
problems of transportation involved
but in the last analysis it was
found that the requisite mobility
for success depended upon the
horse and the mule. They, there
fore. remain today, as always, es-
sential factors of successful war
fare.
while more than $4,000 of them
serving with our armies in the
world war passed to the great be-
yond in silent agony. and while
many of them now sleep on the
SeEtle slopes made beautiful by
the poppy's bloom, no white
crosses, row on row, mark their
last resting places.
TT is fitting and proper that
praise and honor should be Law
ished on the armies of the victori-
Gus nations. yet in doing so we
should not forget to render the
need of praise due the hundreds OF
thousands of horses and mules that
died nobly in the cause OF human
ity.
TT is, therefore, with great
pleasure and with deep apprecia-
ton that l now. in the name of the
government of the United states,
accept this beautiful tablet pre-
sented by the Red Star Animal Re-
lief in commemoration of the
horses and mules that died in the
world war.
This imperishable bronze will
ever bear silent witness of the
great debt we owe our equine
friends and will inspire in the
hearts of the present and future
generations a determination to see
that they receive the fair treat
ment and consideration which is
their due."-From The Army Re-
cruiting News.

The front bolster and wheels need
no special description. Be sure to
get the wheels, which are of wood,
as round as possible. and bore the
holes in the bolster for the screws
with which the wheels are fastened
on. perfectly straight and at right
angles to the wheels. 1t Is well to
put small washers between the
wheels and the bolster and between
the heads Of the screws and the
wheels
The back bolster. d, and wheels
are little more difficult to make.
The two back wheels and their axle
are all of one piece of wood. For
really good job 1t Is necessary to
use turning lathe to make this
part, which is z In the diagram.
The back bolster, instead OF being
made OF one piece. is made of two.
and hole Is bored through to re-
ceiye the axle of the back wheels.
suggest that in boring this hole
you fasten the. two pieces of the
bolster together. mark accurately

After-Dinner Tricks.

No. 47-The MagnetiIed Matches.
a box Of matches is showed open
and shown to be full. The drawer
is removed and turned over, but
not a match falls out! They stay
as though magnetized in the
drawer.
To accomplish this. a match Is
previously broken off short and
wedged crossways in the drawer
above the matches, so that 1t holds
them. The drawer is pushed open
only a short way at first: then,
when every one has seen the
matches there. but. have not seen
the cross piece. the box is turned
upside down and the drawer COM
pletely removed.
