To Observe Sun Spots

A very small telescope, or even an
ordinary field glass or opera glass, will
afford the reader a view of sun spots
time of solar activity. The
safest way to observe them is to point
the instrument at the sun and focus
the eyepiece until a sharp image Of It's
disk, several inches In diameter, Is
projected on surface of smooth white
cardboard held at a distance of from
two to four feet. The spots can easily
be distinguished from specks on the
eyepiece by noticing that they move
with the suns image. At present we
are just emerging from a period of
solar calm during which no spots have
been seen for weeks at a time. But
a new cycle of activity has already be-
gun, and IA few spots are beginning to
appear. The reader hardly needs to
be warned that II he wishes to look
directly with his telescope, field glass
or opera glass he must protect his
eyes with the blackest of smoked glass,
as the intensely bright image would

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
ON NOT GETTING FLATTERED

"Somehow. Aunt Emmy. II scares
me when | read OF all the ways people
lose their money in fake stock and
bond transactions. How can you
know who is honest and what stocks
and bonds are safe to buy2" Queried
Jane.
1T is easy enough II people only
wouldn't be so impatient. replied
Aunt Emmy. There is never any
need for haste in investing It's far
better to take little time to find out
the character OF the securities offered
and OF the person offering them. The
buying of securities was greatly slim
ulated by the Liberty Loans. Before
Uncle Sam offered Liberty bonds only
about 100000 people in the United
States owned securities. Now mil
lions OF people are buying stocks and
bonds.
"Of course the INSCRIPTIONS securi
ty vendors have taken advantage OF
the public's new education In invest
ments All sorts OF bad and question
able securities are being offered for
sale. Naturally the majority OF the
people are not rich. so when a man
sets out TO sell bonds or stocks

pared to sell in small quantities

statesmen all over the United States
for nothing. so when salesman comes
to sell you bonds 1t Is important to in.
vestigate the quality OF the bond he is
selling. Your bank will give informa.
ton about investment houses and In.
vestments. and II you follow the
banks advice you will not lose your
money.
Another thing to be looked upon
with suspicion" continued Aunt EN-.
my, "is the man who tries to sell you
securities over the telephone. Such
men will call up Some woman living
in the country and say they are call.

They suggest that she buy such and

long distance phone from some large
city. Poor little Mrs. Backwoods Is so
thrilled at this touch with the great

About Christmas

The Gift Wreath affords a novel means of distributing either Christmas gifts or small trinkets used as faVors for the Christmas party. The toun- dation is a wooden or wire hoop. lhls is covered with evergreen and holly ana suspended in a doorway or from chan- delier by means of a five-inch wide scarlet ribbon. Hung from the wreath at varying heights, by narrow red rib bons, are the gifts, each wrapped )n white tissue and decorated with sprlg of evergreen. Each guest may be blind folded and the wreath swung. The package he catches is the one he keeps.
 A novel substitute for prizes at christmas party is to arrange tray bearing apparently a quantity of gifts. As the winners progress, the tray IS passed to each loser, who selects what ever package most pleases hls eye, opens it and adorns himself with the prize. In every case this IS some thing which can be wOrn-hair orna- ments, conspicuous jewelry, auto goggles, aprons, dust caps. At the end of the game prize is given for the most ridiculous looking person.
 The Tray
 The tray of bundles is also a pretty way to serve Christmas bonbOns. A little thought will enable you to do up the boxes with different wrappings in many dainty ways. and the tray may be passed after refreshments have been served.
 Peep Shows
 Inexpensive Christmas souvenir%that will provide lots of fun for children are fairy tale "peep boxes." Make one for each child. Cut small rounl hole in the end of shoe box. If you desire to make a snow scene, you can line the bottom of the box with cotton and sprinkle it over with 'snow pow der" Then use cut-outs of tiny pic tured houses and people and get wee branches of evergreen trees and set the ends in twist spools in order to keep them upright in the box. Put stand ards on the houses, cut out dolls and arrange all the objects to form a pleas ing scene. Lay a piece of colored tis- sue paper over the top of the box, the peep hole You will be surprised at the effect Place these boxes at con- venient heights around the room and let the children make the rounds. Or better still, let them make some--yGu may not believe it, but children will put aside some of the costly gifts to en- joy simple toy like this.

 Mona was one of the many people who underestimate entirely their daily need of oxygen rations."
 Winter time she loathed She was al. ways shivering and yawning and long, ing for summer.
 She drove around in a closed car wrapped in furs.
 She never walked any place if she could ride.
 And then one day Mona developed pneumonia. She was a very sick girl So sick that she almost died and it was many months before she was beginning to regain normal health.
 Her mother said, and undoubtedly be, lieved, that Mona had always been del icate, and the doctor said it was the worst case of it's kind he had ever seen and that really and truly it was won- der the darling child had not died"
 The true state of affairs was that Mona had starved her lungs for oxygen and her body for its proper need of ex- ercise.
 Deep breathing was a thing she had never considered. When her lungs be. came involved and infected she had neither resistance nor surplus energy to draw upon. So she did, actually, almost die.

 And I guess that you do not know that I am Hazel Hagg!" the other old woman yelled. T shall run just as fast as any old slow-poke witch, I'll bet!'
 So the two began running, each catch ing hold of the other and pulling upon her arm or her dress when the other got ahead. In this way. they both kept each other from running very fast.
