HOW SERVICE HELPe

DiSCuSSlnB Tne WOrk OF the Junior
American Red Cross, both during and
since the war, Educational Review OF
Hawaii, lists the benefits that have
come to the school boys and girls of
America through that organization,
saying:
They cannot look upon the thing
they have been doing as a social enter
prise because most of thier efforts were
spent in behalf of peoples far removed
from their locality. They made things
for soldiers going abroad. Their minds
were turned outward into the big
world, and the world was revealed to
them at last in clear light They
were rapidly becoming parts of the
big picture; they were moving about
in sphere of worldwide dimensions
They were making refugee garments.
Why? Because they saw in the pub
lished stories and pictures Of the war
the people. of France and Belgium and
other lands living in continual peril
just behind the lines and in dire and
desperate need. Today these Ameri-
can children recognize to the full the
necessity of standing side by side with
people in any part of the world in be-
HdIl VI Tie principles OF democracy
and justice and freedom just as they
would take the part of the wronged or
the unfortunate in their home villages.
For children, as we'll as for grown
ups, the time has come when they
cannot escape association with the rest
of the world and cannot live any long
er in blind ignorance of the ways and
wants of other countries.
I'm the very process of helping these
people there has been created a great
fund Of sympathy which has reacted
in a wonderful way upon the child
life of America. We know that people
will take pride in anything they have
done which is accepted by their fell
lows as meritorious. When the chill
dren had a chance to serve Others and
to realize that service is one of the
fundamental things in life they devel-
oped out of it a spiritual uplift and a
habit of helpfulness which were re-
latively lacking in the children OF the
past"

Words That Bstray
For william, his vanity and self-im

commission I had set him, was wear

designed to show me that he under

AS spoke moved to one side OF the
door so that William, in order not TO

right side Of the pseudo peddler. Then
I held my breath, figuratively and
actually, as William, all the import

face, started to pass the man, stunab-
led, letting some of the kindling fall,
and adroitly managed to strike his
hand snlartly, but with every appear
ance of accident, against the gloved
hand of the peddler.
The afefct was electrical. The man
jumped as If a bullet had struck him,
an agonized expression crossed his
face, and he fairly spat two words at
William-two words similar to the one
had heard in Lillian's study.
From my lips burst an exclamation,
suppressed almost as it escaped, but
still distinctly audible to the enraged
man. He turned abruptly. cast one
glance into my face where he must
have read recognition, and then turn

Black MAGIC

The magician threw white cloth
over the girl who was acting as his
| assistant, He drew Il slowly away,
and she had vanished. The audience
gasped.
Magic? OF course not. You can do
it yourself. Here's how to perform
this wonder and many other kinds
Of black stage magic"
The secret is q rather deep, box-like
stage fitted entirely with black cloth.
The light in the room must be very
low. the only brilliant light being made
by row Of candles or lamps Axed
down along each side OF the stage.
No light must shine into the stage,
but into the eyes of the audience.
Anything black against this black
stage IL invisible.
The disappearing trick is worked by
having black cloth inside the white
cloth thrown over the girl. when
the white cloth 10 pulled away she
retains the black one over her and
cannot be seen. She might pull the
black cloth around her 30 that her
head remains uncovered. The audi
ence Is then startled to see q. head
apparently floating in the air. She
can add to the effect by answering
question in mysterious. faraway
voice.
For black stage show you need an
invisible assistant. That assistant must
be dressed entirely in black, with
black gloves and Al black cylinder
mask This mask is made from ! piece
OF silk and IL stitched In the form Of
a cylinder large enough to pull over
the head. with two holes cut in the
proper place for the eyes. Dressed In
this way. the assistant can move
about on the stage without being
seen at all by the audience.
With the help of this assistant.

Would Make Pensacola

A dispatch from Tallahassee, under
date April 4, says:
"a charter has been granted for

1t would mean readjustment of rates
