Tarantula's Bite Not Fatal,
But Few Like Him as a Pet

- OMETIMES, in punches Of ba-
nanas imported to our Northern
cities from the South. there Is
- hidden a large, hairy spider
called the tarantula.
1t Is rumored that he is very dan
gerous fellow, whose poisonous bite
has meant the death of more than
one unlucky workman. But the truth
Is that the poison used by the taran-
tula to kill insects, which is said to
kill men as well, is not dangerous to
human beings. The tarantula's bite,
like any insects bite, may cause an
infection. which is always dangerous.
But of itself the poison which kills
the insects upon which the tarantula
feeds, could not destroy q human
being.
However. deadly or not, the tsran-
tula is a very interesting creature. He
has eight eyes and yet he can scarcely
see. He can just barely tell whether
1t is day or night. But get delicious
insect near-and he knows it in a
fash.
Another thing about him. He has
enormous families which keep the
parents working very strenuously
searching for food. In each batch of
eggs Matched are several hundred lit
tie tarantulas, all clamoring for food.
There are so many Of them that, in
despair, the parents are obliged to let
some of them die of starvation.
Scientists who have studied this
spider say that it takes quite bit of
teasing to make tarantula bite. Ordi-

when he finally heard Jonesy's voice,
it was sharp and worried.
Hello. Jonesy," said Hal quickly.
"You wanted me to call?"
"Yes" The mans tones were tense.
Listen, Hal, get down here as early
as you can in the morning. We've
got heavy day ahead. Make it by

"okay." said Hal. "But what's it
all about?"
For a moment Jonesy did not reply.
Then he said, Don't mention this to
anybody, but something has happened
to Shade. He never got to South

Championship Turtle Race
Good for Stormy Days

~ EMEMBER how the tortoise
- beat the hare in the big race
the fable tells about? Well,
l. y here's q game where the first
cousins Of the tortoise race against
each other. It's called the champion
ship turtle race.
It's q parlor game or dining room
game. so you don't use live turtles.
but the kind you do use are the
fastest crawlers yeu ever sawl Get
sheets of heavy cardboard and make
the turtles yourself-the diagram
shows you how. The hole in the
turtles back is 4 inches from the
turtles nose and Az inches from the
edge Of the oblong piece of cardboard
he is cut from. Care should be taken
to use thick cardboard and to have
the hind feet of each turtle perfectly
fiat, so they will travel well and not
break.
To race the steeds, tie two S-foot
lengths Of string to the round of a
chair. slipping one end through the
hole in each turtle. Catch the loose
end Of one string in your hand, while
your partner takes the other. Back
the turtle up so he Is touching your
hand, and then start to jiggle the
string to make the animal move
along toward the chair. You must not
shift your position once the race has
started.

Make a Scooter,
Learn to Balance,
And Get q Thrill

WHEN you learn to balance your
wv self on the scooters sketched,
you have mastered the trick Of riding
them. You will note that neither Of
them has handle bars, and when you
are perched on the seat going down
o grade, with your arms waving for
balance, you will have one Of the most
thrilling rides you have experienced
for some time.
Both scooters are easy to make.
One has been designed for Winter
sport, the other for use on concrete
sidewalks. The sled scooter is merely
q seat post nailed and braced to a
AKA cut in the shape of a sled runner.
The wheel scooter is made from 1-inch
boards and uses the front and rear
wheel assembly of an old roller skate.
Be sure to brace the seat posts Sc
curely, as they come in for lot of
strain when you endeavor to keep your
balance by shifting arms, legs and
body from side to side. The sleeper
the hill, the easier these scooters are
to ride; and because they are built
close to the ground, there is not much
danger Of hurting yourself, even If
you do fall OF once In while before
learning to balance yourself correctly.

Disappearing Coin
Is Fine Trick for
Junior MagicianS
Rr ThnmnS the Mnpician.

By Thomas the Magician.
HERE is an easy way to make a
coin vanish, a method which is
little known and yet exceedingly effec-
tive. Incidentally, have used this
trick many times in my performances
to great advantage.
Effect: The performer shows a bor-
fowed handkerchief to be absolutely
unprepared, and throwing it over his
hand, places a coin in the center.
Next the handkerchief is folded over
the coin and the mystic words are
pronounced. "Gully-gully," repeats
the performer, who then grasps one
corner Of the handkerchief, shakes
It out, and the coin has vanished!
Explanation: Get small rubber
band. The size used in drug stores
TO wrap packages is most suitable. The
rubber band is placed over the thumb
and forefnger of the left hand, un-
known to the audience. When the
handkerchief is thrown over the hand
to cover it, and the coin is placed in
the center, the thumb and forefinger
Of the left hand grasp the coin through
the cloth and slip the rubber band
over it, thus inclosing the coin in
o little pocket, the mouth of which
is closed by the rubber.
At this point the handkerchief is
folded over the coin while the rubber
band is being adjusted. The right
hand then grasps one Of the corners
Of the handkerchief, and shaking it
out, proves that the coin has vanished.
Should any of my readers not be
able to find the correct size rubber
band, write me, inclosing stamped
envelope, and will be glad to send
you o sample Of the size most suit
able. Just address Thomas the Ma
gician, the Boys and Girls Page, in
care Of this newspaper.

d ECENTLY a serum developed by
Norbeck had been in great de-
mand, and there had been frequent
rush orders for it. These meant spe-
cial trips for Stafford planes. which
paid well. In fact. they paid so well
that another airline, Arrow Air Serv-
vice, had entered the field in competi-
ton with Stafford. This had presented
such a serious problem that Mr. Stat
ford was trying to sell his line to As
sociated, with which it connected.
Mr.. Stafford had been jubilant that
afternoon before Shade left in the
Hawk to fly the special order Of Nor
beck chemicals to South Branch.
THE more of these flights We make,
the better chance have Of selling the
line to Associated at a good price" he
had said in the airport Office. Eddie
Moore, just in from the regular sche6-
uled hop to South Branch and back,
nodded understandingly.
Your contract with Norbeck Is the
most valuable thing you have" he
pointed out. "It gives you the jump
on Arrow. They are getting as much
passenger business as we are now"
Mr.. Stafford grunted. And how
they'd like to take that Noroeck busi-
ness away from usi" he exclaimed.
IF they did. they could force me
out of business in a few months, and
I'd never have a chance of selling to
Associated"
Eddie Moore grinned. well, wish
you luck, Chief, but as fer as I'm
concerned, I'd rather fly fer YOU than
Associated, anyway"
Thanks. Eddie" replied Mr.. Stat
ford. But you and Shade don't need
to worry. If I do sell, you 60 along

have to worry about jobs"
