Space here does not permit very de-
tailed account Of the things that you
can make and sell, but they are many.
Much, of course, depends upon the skill
with which pieces are assembled and
finished.
Book ends. perhaps, offer as wide q
variety as any simple article and they
are not hard to make. In the illus
tration are shown two types. The type
at the top consists of wooden block
OF which Is fastened piece Of rather
heavy gauge sheet iron. The book end
just below has for the background, a
single sheet of iron (galvanized) with
one right-angle bend. The whole strip
should measure about inches in width
and inches in length with the bend
a little one side of center.
This tin Is then covered with any
suitable paper drawn tight and coated
with first quality glue on one side. The
paper should be tinted. Face both sides
and turn the outside piece over the
edges all around, notching where nee
essary to produce a smooth lap.
For the front design you can cut out
In silhouette fashion. any appropriate
pattern such as shrubbery. we'll bal
anced tree, or hills. Or, by using paper
Of two or three tints and colors you can
build UP blocky scene from these col
ors, using purple paper for distant hills,
blue for the sky, green for foreground
grass and black or brown for nearby
trees and deep blue for water. When
these have been glued on, then give the
whole book end Except the bcttom) a
coat of clear stain or shellac. This will
deepen the colors slightly and render
the result really charming. Green felt
is then glued to the bottom to prevent
marring.
The wood book end requires only the
finish of the wood This can be done
by burning. carving or merely cutting
to the shape shown and then giving
suitable finish Of lacquer, stain or paint
One very good plan Is to obtain good
quality prints in colors from magazine
and. after cutting to At nicely, gluing
this TO the front. Then It Is covered
with Clear vafnisfi. Original photos can
also be used In this way. The sepia or
brown photos will be best, and they may
be either scene or portrait. Felt
should always be glued TO the under
side to prevent scratching the table top.

and accuracy, Frankie could take the
! longest hits on the field and hold the
batter to two or three bases. and in
the first game of the season he nailed
runner at the plate when the hit,
handled by any other fielder, would
have gone for home run.
| But while he stood in the outfield,
shading his eyes against the afternoon
sun, frankie kept his gaze riveted on
the pitchers box watching the motions
| of Waite Roberts or Jack Sharp, which,
| ever happened to be on mound duty
for Warrington that day Even from
the break of Waite's wide, sweeping
outcurve, and he could see the batters
breaking their back" trying to get
Jacks tantalizing slow ball At such
times Frankie would heave a sigh of
longing. Being good center fielder
was all right, but wouldn't he ever be
pitcher?
And sometimes in the midst of one
of these reveries, there would be the
sharp crack Of ash on horsehide, and
frankie would recover his senses with
a start to see fly. soaring toward
him, or sharp grounder singing his
way over the grass. He was in just
such a fit of day-dreaming in the sixth
ALAlAlS VA w game,
which was played against Dayton.
There were two men out and runner
on second. Jack Sharp, who was pitch
ing. had signaled the fielders In before
he went to work on the next batter,
who was known as a good hitter, but
Frankie failed to catch the signal.
His mind was far away, travelling
the road to pitching fame, when sud-
denly he heard the fair, smart crack
that meant o ball well hit. Hurriedly
he glanced up, to see short Texas
Lacquer coming In his direction. Had
he been closer, it would have been
simple for him to handle the ball, but
as 1t was, he was too far back TO reach
it, and run as he would, the ball Drop
ped safe behind second base. and the
runner on that bag scored
The side was retired moment later,
and as Frankie trotted in to the bench,
Coach Haggerty met him with a frown.
7 hope you enjoyed your nap, Lum,''
said the coach sarcastically. Why
didn't you come in when Art signaled?
You should have had that hit easily"
Il know" said Frankie. He realized
that the fault was his, and his face
burned with shame at the coach's
words. And even when, In the eighth
inning, he hit scorching double that
scored two runners and won the game
for Warrington, he could not forget
that lapse out in the center field. He
resolved to confine his dreaming to the
evening hours In the future.
But the noon practice sessions with
Ten went on as before, and in addi-
ton, frankie began to get up earlier
in the morning, and for a half hour
before he started for the city school
in the rickety car he drove, he practiced
pitching. He had marked off an oblong
on the rear wall of the barn to CORE
spond to the width of the plate and the
distance between batters knees and
shoulders, and toward this target he
hurled couple of old bassa1alls, run
ming TO retrieve them and try again.
Holding the ball as Tom had shown
him, he tried and tried TO throw an
outcurve and a drop But the ball
either took its old and accustomed
natural" break inward, or went far
wild on the target. Success seemed as
far away as ever.

We show you today a picture of a
book. But 1t is not an ordinary book,
this volume which is reproduced this
week. 1t is a pretty one, bound In fine
green leather and stamped in gold, and
its pages are made of the finest and
most valuable paper. And as you open
1t, you will find that 1t contains but
a few pages, printed in two columns
The left-hand column is in French;
the right-hand column is in the Eng
lish language. And the last few pages
OF the volume contain certain sigma
lures and many important looking seals
In red wax which bind together q silk
ribbon running from page to page.
II you could read both the French
and the English lines printed on these
pages you would note that they con-
tain the same message; and 1t is this
message with the various signatures
that makes this book so important.
The volume contains q treaty, and
agreement, between various great ma
tons of the world, to do away with
war between themselves. It is an agree
ment to settle all future disagreement q
that may arise, not by bloody wars,
but by the peaceful means or arbitra-
tion and discussion. The representa-
tives of these various nations agreed
to all the terms Of the agreement and
then signed 1t In Paris on August 81,
1928.

Der of ways to make lamp shades One
type consists Of cretonne with white
cloth backing, the two pieces being
fastened together by covering the white
cloth with paste and pressing 1t to the
cretonne with hot iron. This mate
rial Is then cut to form tube and the
erges are stitched together. Two pieces
of stiff cardboard are cut out In per-
feet circles and pasted together, then
these are cut to fit inside the tube at
the top. A hole Is made in the card
board just large enough to put the end
OF the little bulb through. This Is then
inserted and screwed into the socket.
Another kind Is shown in the nlustra-
ton. This consists of four sides, taper
ed, cut from 2 or ply wood. The
panels can be cut out with q scroll or
Jig saw. The corners are carefully
glued together. then the inside Is COW

some other color. A small wire ring
with four short wires soldered to It Is
held In the top to rest upon the top Of

AncientS Used Perfume

reign of Louis XIV that a different per-
fume was used each day in certain
households.
Perfumes were often used sfor rea-
sons other than their sweet, fragrant
odor Spicy perfumes were used by
the ancient Hebrews for fumigating
their beds and embalming dead bodies.
People were executed on piles of burn
ing aromatic wood. In India per-
fumes were used in the form of in
cense. They were offered as sacrifices
in their temples and upon their affairs
1t was the custom for priests to color
their faces with ointment of saffron.
The use of perfume for medicinal pur-
poses was very widely practiced. Rose
water formed the basis for many REM
edies, while during the plague perfume
was used extensively as a preventive.
The savage and barbarous nations,
as well as the civilized and refined.
used perfume extravagantly. African
chiefs anointed their bodies with it
perhaps as sunburn protection.

Perfume which we define as a sweet
fragrance. was one Of the most usefu,
and interesting Of ancient commodi-
ties. Il was used for innumerable
things. but mostly for religious and
medicinal purposes.
The Queen of Sheba Is said to have
given to King Solomon an abundance
of spices and wood of which perfume
was made. These were reported as
being of very high value.
In the ruins of Pompen were found
large. costly bottles of perfume. The
Oriental ladies used great quantities
of costly perfume to preserve their per-
sonal charms. When the knights came
home from the Crusades, they brought
their sweethearts expensive bottles of
perfume from the East.

Start Mouing at First Bell,
Commissioner Lambert Saws

number of persons are in doubt about the bells
OF the traffic signals in the downtown section
Commissioner OF Public Safety Leroy Lambert has
explained the situation thus:
pedestrians go on the first bell. but automobiles
must wait for the second, which rings seconds
later"
When asked IL this was not rather dangerous to
those pedestrians who are beginning to cross the
intersection when automobiles are still coming frop,
the other way, he said
There is always some danger II the pedestrians
wait until the second bell, group of them steps
out into the street when the automobiles start and
II driver wants to make a right hand turn he is
faced with the difficulty of avoiding not a few but
a whole group of pedestrians who had gathered on
the sidewalk waiting for the signals to change"
Commissioner Lambert believes that the signals
are "a wonderful improvement over the old sys.
tem The great majority Of people are willing to
cooperate in the obedience OF the signals and
While the traffic is not yet very well used TO the
signals. officers are lenient. Later Lambert ex.
poets the traffic will follow the signals much
easier than an officer in the middle of the street
