You might also try making a dog
or a cat The artist has shown
how these figures can be modelled
without the use of armatures or
frames to hold up the body. The
dog, as you see, is crouched low.
His body is a solid mass of clay.
The cat, curled upon the floor, is
also solid mass. There are no
thin legs to break easily as in the
case Of the giraffe.
The frame for the giraffe is very
easy to make. The body of the
armature consists of small block
Of wood land the neck and legs are
made of pieces Of wire. Study the
drawing Of the armature closely,
and you will note that the pieces of
wire are fastened to the block of

them less liable to slip from the
block after being tackled on.
Also shown in the picture is the
frame you may use for the making
Of bust models. This frame con-
sists of two sticks of wood. crossed
and nailed together. They act as
braces for the shoulders, neck and
head of the bust. Begin modelling
by bracing the armature on your
modelling stand with clay placed
around the bottom. Give the franc
a slight forward tilt. The human
head tits forward a bit.
For the sake of variety, model
some comic pictures. Ideas may
be obtained from the comic section
of newspaper.

Every way you turn you will see
things you can model in clay.
There are ink bottles, telephones,
"a world of things! In the picture
the artist has suggested few. His
little chick is very easy to make.
First, flatten out piece of clay
for the base of the figure. Then
roll an egg-shaped ball of clay for
the chicks body. Make another
ball, this one much smaller, for its
head. For it's legs, cover two
toothpicks with clay and then stick
them into the chicks body. Attach
the head. Then, with your home
made modelling tools and your fin
gers, model the chicks bill, its eyes
and indicate its feathers.

Bob Bobbing Party

1t was Boobies birthday and his
mother said Betty, Billy and Bobby
could have a bobbing party. There
was boy named Mean, and be-
cause he was mean they did not
invite him.
Boobies father made them big
bob-sled that would hold a lot of
little ones. While the children
coasted Boobies mother was to
get fine supper for them.
In the meantime, the Mean boy
heard about it and he was Very
angry. 'I'll fix their party" he
said. Then he got some ashes and
sprinkled the hill. mo bob sled
can run over those ashes" he said.
The village fireman was watch
ing him but did not say anything.
When the Mean boy was in bed,
the fireman took his big hose and
washed all the ashes away.
Then Jack Frost blew his breath
upon the hill.
In the morning, the hill was as
smooth as glass and the party out
all right. While the children were
having a jolly time the Mean boy
stood watching them and wondered
where his ashes went.-Cathryn

Painting the Models.

Do not try to paint the model
until the clay has become very
dry. Apply whatever water colors
you want, using bristle brush
rather than camel's hair brush.
Allow each coat of paint to dry be-
fore adding another.
After you have painted your
model, give it glossy finish by
applying coat of white shellac.
This may be purchased for small
sum at the art store.
Apply the shellac with the bris.
tie brush, also. Do not touch the
shellac with your fingers while it
is wet. An ugly spot will result il

World Survey Of
 Disabled Vets

New Orleans, May s. The first world survey of the present condition of the sick and wounded men of the World War is to be compiled at the fourth national convention of the American Legion at New Orleans this fall. This survey will combine the reports of the Inter-Allied Veterans Federation with the reports of the Geneva conference held in March under the auspices of the Ink kerna- tional Labor Office
 The Inter-Allied Veterans Fedora ton is made up of the veterans as sociation of all the nations allied in the World War. The International Labor Office. in which the United was created under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and includes 54 nations in its personnel at present. It is financed by the League of Nations
 At the conference of this body in Genevt representation was accorded to Germany and Austrla as WeIi as to the ex-service men of the allied nations. This was practically the first occasion on which the soldiers who faced each other on the field have met in conference for the solu- ton of their common problems, and it was hailed in Europe as an event of great significance.
 The reports of this organization, together with those of the 1nter-Al- lied Veterans Federation. whih in cludes the American Legion, will make up the first complete summary of what the civilized world is doing for the disabled veterans. The re- suits of the survey will be made avail able at once in all the countries that took part in the war.

S-4S To Leave New London For
 Repairs Here

Submarine S-4S that hit Davy Jones' locker out of Bridgeport har- Dor last November with fifty-one aboard, whose lives were imperilled for nearly 36 hours, was due to leave New London today for the Lake Tor pedo plant, for completion of repairs. The war craft is due to reach here some time tomorrow. Returning from New London are about 100 Bridgeport submarine experts who hae been working on the "sub," while in drydock at the Thames Boat Com pany at New London.
 The return of the submarine here will give employment to about 400 Lake Torpedo plant employees who were laid off a couple of weeks ago. Notices recalling the men were post ed Saturday in the local plant.
 On arrival here the force of work men will put into shape the boilers and motors of the craft. The men will work in three shifts of eight hours each, and it is figured that 1t will take at least three months to put the "sub" in fighting and seaworthy shape. While stationed in New Lon don the tanks of the boat were scrap and other repairs made which were impossible to execute at the local plant.
 The S-4S was insured for three mil lion dollars. a dozen or more insur- ance companies holding policies.

Wanderlust Brings
 Boys To Bridgeport

No less than 2S young boys and girls filled with the wanderlust spir- it came to grief in Bridgeport ac- cording to figures compiled by the Bureau of Investigation and Miss ing Persons for the month of April. Of this number the boys are in the majority. All of them, apprehended by the members of the Investigation Bureau, were between the ages of 13 and 16, and practically all of them came via auto truck the ex- pense of railroad fare being too great.
 Only last week two boys came here from New Jersey on an auto truck and when the driver found that they were running away from home he tipped off, the police who in turn brought in the boys. For more than six hours the boys were questioned but they maintained that they were orphans. Finally they broke down and confessed that they were running away from home. The police returned them to their homes.
 The police say that many of the truck drivers are responsible for the pranks played by the boys

Lively Hearing
 May Result In Suit Against City

Before the Common Council meets tonight to consider what must be done concerning the bond issue of S330, ,000 for the Board of Education, there will be a lively hearing which appears, VIII result in a suit being brought against the city.
 The Housatonic Oil Company was granted a petition some time ago to install gasoline tanks on their prop erty on Housatonic avenue. This petition was granted, it is said, pre- suming that the ordinary gasoline tank was to be installed, but when it was learned that the company in tended installing two huge tanks carrying d wholesale capacity the Scinded.
 During the interim, according to the officials of the company con- tracts were made Tor the purchase of the material to construct the tanks. At a recent meeting of the council an ordinance was passed whereby gasoline cannot be stored lire confines. It now appears that the Oil company have their tanksFsn stalled and are ready to start opera IonS as soon as permission to fill the tanks is granted.
 Both the cOmpany's side of the story and the remonstrances from people in the vicinity who claim that the storing of gasoline in the propos- ed tanks would be a menace will be heard this evening.
 In all probability the question of appointing an electrical building in spector will be brought up at the meeting also.

Secretary Healy Explains Disastrous Results
 Of Daylight Saving

Hartford, May S.-'There is no question but that there is much less elsewhere with daylight saving than without it," said Leonard Healey. riculture, Friday, following several days observation of conditions throughout the state during the first week of operation of the scheme.
 It is true that farmers this year offered little if any opposition to adopting of the plan, but they didn't do so because their objections did no good before, and the average farmer, convinced that his pleas would be useless, has decided 70 wait for the people to come to their senses on the matter.
 There is also more opposition by city people this year to daylight sav- ing, as it is now carried on, than ever before.
 Works Great Confusion
 "It has brought about confusion never before heard of It doesn't seem as though people who are ad- Vocating the scheme. and live in cities have any consideration for those who raise their food. Their only thought, apparently, Is of pleasure as over and above the necessity of raising food, and all it's consequent hardships when a plan. such as tdaIigf' saving, is put through without reason.
 No One Here In Favor
 Tn Hartford, I have been unable to find a single person who is in favor of daylight saving" MT. Healey said.
 The reason why the scheme during the summer has resulted, and will continue to result, in less produc- ton in consequent increased costs Is that hhere are certain growing veg etables upon which no work can be done while the morning dew is on the plants. Tobacco workers also find this true. Handling of the plants during the morning hours before the dew has receded. results in their de- StructiOn.
 RobS the Farmer
 It has also been found. MT. Healey said. that me who live in the cities
