OLD CONY BUILDING BUT A MEMORY AS
WORKMEN PREPARE FOR new STRUCTURE

S5sssEEsEsF *ss'fSa--r
The old Cony High school building
Is a thing of the past. Raced COM
pletely to the ground, 1t will within
few days be but an orderly pile OF
reclaimed bricks which will be used
in the construction Of the new and
better structure which, with the wing
built a few years ago, will form the
Cony High of tomorrow. Pick axes,
wrecking bars and other paraphena-
liza of the expert wrecker, have done
their work and the walls which have
protected SO many students from the
elements in former years have been
torn apart to make room for a build
ing which will be ample to house the
constantly increasing student body OF
Cony High.
A large body of men is at work
tearing apart the remainder Of the
walls Of the older building and clean
ing the bricks. while others are
excavating for the walls and ground
floor Of the new one. The excavation
for the floor Of the new building is
keeping pace with the work Of tear
ing out the old walls and q crew OF
men is now at work digging for the
coal pocket which will be on the
south side of the building.
The ground upon which the build
ing will rest is real clay hard pan
and there is little danger of the sink
ing Of any wall after it is construct
ed. The men who are excavating are
using a heavy iron pillow to loosen ur
the earth and it is necessary to have
one man bear down upon the beam
of the pillow to keep it in the ground
so hard is the soil.

Arm Massage.

1t is a great pity when the arms
are allowed to become shapeless, for.
fat or thin, it is possible to have them
nicely formed. Exercise and massage
will do it, unless the body is hopeless
ly over or under weight.
You can, if you wish to go to the
expense, take d course of treatments
in massage. If you don't, there are
various not SO expert ways of rubbing
the arms which have almost as good
an effect Begin at the wrist of the
left arm and with the other hand
squeeze the arm between the four
fingers and the palm of the hand. Go
the length of the arm from wrist to
shoulder and back several times.
squeezing firmly each time. and turn
ing the left arm so ii is nasSa ged all
over. Repeat with the left band and
the right arm.
Now rub. Hold ono arm between
thumb and all four fingers, and rub
briskly up and down from elbow to
wrist and from elbow to shoulder.
Then use the four fingers of one hand

them close together in a. line, and

"Wii YOU let me know if she is
getting the proper amount of sleep"
Answer
The most important item In the
sleep habit is that the ba by shall
be regular even though her particular
hours do not coincide with the resu-
lation ones. The baby is getting at
least - hours of sleep. but this it
hardly as much as a fat, healthy baby
of her age should have. The mis-
take comes in allowing her to stay
up until 9 o'clock, for even if she did
not go to sleep the first few nights
when she was put down 1T Z, later
on she would. and then she would
waken earlier in the morning. and her
whole day would fall into its proper
channels.
The Z o'clock play hour would 50
excite the baby that it would be i'm
possible for her TO sleep for two hours
afterward. l should eliminate that
first of all, and if she is awake from
on. let her frolic and stretch herself
on the bed then. but do not excite
her in any way so close To her bed

She certainly is doing beautifully.

CHAPTER NEH.
What Can You Do :"

The week following Rosalind's meet
ing with Allan Norris she kept the
promise made to herself and went to
see Mr.. Rogers, the proprietor of the
Club Tivoli. Knowing that he was
usually in his Office in the afternoons
she made it a point to go down about
o'clock. and. just as she had eN-
pected. she found him alone.
His face WAS impa ssive as he looked
I'D at her There was none of the
ceniaIity about il that had been there
on the night he had wanted to intro
duce her TO Allan Norris. But Rosa
lind was not bothered much by his
expression. She was too much in ear
nest. too confident Of herself. and in
reply 10 his What can l do for
Won. Miss Nash?" she plunged into
the matter at hand
''Mr. Rogers, l came 10 ask YOU "A
favor" She paused a moment in
order to give him time TO remember
that she had done as much for him
just a few nights ago, and then she
hurried on with what she had to say.
Il want a chance to put across a
song act-alone. / know l can do
it: i'm sure you will agree with me
if you'll let me show you what l can
do. Will you?"
Miss Nash. have nothing to do with
the acts put on here. An agent man
ages them for me. / do all my bust
ness through him.
"Yes. but you know what you want.
You don't leave it to an agent to
choose for YOU"
Have you had any experience
he shot at her.
NO" she returned quickly.
Then I'm afraid he was be
ginning. when she interrupted him i'm
pulSively.
"All l ask is to show YOU what
can do. You can't refuse that l can
sing something for you right here
without even a piano, and then if you
really think I'm no good I'll willingly
abide by your decision
Mr.. Rogers narrowed his shrewd
ewes as he looked at the vivid face of
the girl before him. How confident
she was, how sure of herself. She
made him curious to see what she
could do. After all, she had a good
personality. She had already at
tracted attention in the club, and if
she turned out to be find, some
thing fresh and new to appeal to the
jaded appetites of those who fire.
quented the club. it would be a feather
in his cap TO De aDle 10 say tHdI ne
had discovered her.
What do you know" he asked
after a moment.
A gleam of triumph shot into Rosa
lind's eyes. a CLEAN that she hastily
veiled with her lashes.
THE English song from the Pep
PEI, and Salt. Revue" she said
quickly.
shall try that? I know it fairly
we'll"
If possible, Rosalind sang the song
better than she had sung it for Made
line and Jack. This time there was
so much at stake. If Mr.. Rogers
liked her he would give her a chance
and chance was all she wanted.
