@HIS Is representative model
of q battle cruiser, armed with
large number of turreted
guns and q seaplane for
observing an enemy's battle fleet.
The plan is not to scale, nor does it
represent any particular boat in the
navy. 1t was designed so the young
model maker would find the con-
struction Of a model cruiser as simple
as possible, and the assembling of the
outstanding features of a real battle
cruiser easy to accomplish.
Eliminating the keel, the rudder
and the propeller assembly, it is
termed water-line model, and needs
no support to make it stand erect on
shelf or mantel. whiting the vari-
Gus parts for this type of boat will
give a boy or girl many hours Of
entertaining and constructive fun.
Start your model with the hull, by
cutting . 1-inch block of soft white
pine. 2 inches wide BY 10 inches
long, into the shape sketched. You
will need q fine-tooth saw and q

Of the hull there Is a deep notch cut
out. and that at the stern there is

Today's Slang May
Be Good English
In Years to Come

nID you know that many Of the
words you think Of as slang today
will some day be accepted as per-
fectly good words to use?
This is the way it happens: Whsrl
people are impressed by . new hap
pening they sometimes use an old
word in a new way in referring to
that thing. For instance, the Puritans
used to cast lots for the ownership
OF land and other things Of value.
And so "lots" soon came to mean
the pieces Of land which were thus
distributed.
Crit" referring to courage, was
once q slang word. but has become
an accepted part Of our language.
For q time slang words are used
because people are fond Of novelty
Many Of the popular words Of today
will belong only to our time. But
there are others which, because OF
their expressiveness. will do their part
as everyday words in the future.

Body a Furnace
Burning Up Fuel
Supplied in Food

OUR bodies are like furnaces that
need to be stocked with food con-
stantly-and when we fail to nourish
the fire" which burns within we
suffer for the neglect. For some days,
and even months, we can live on the
reserves We have stored in times Of
abundance-but when these are ex-
hausted we starve.
OF course. the fire which burns
within us isn't q blazing hot one. 1t
is, however, an ordinary process Of
slow burning which uses food and
drink for fuel instead Of wood or
coal. The food changes and COM
bines with the oxygen we breathe, and
the heat that Is given OF in the
combination provides the energy to
move about and keep our bodies warm.
For that reason, It Is somewhat
easier to 90 hungry in warm countries
than in cool, where we need food
to keep warm; and in bed than NOV
ing about, when we need extra food
for the energy We use.
When We stop taking extra food
and drink into our bodies we are
warned by a feeling of hunger and
thirst that the reserves are being
burned up. We feel the thirst even
before the hunger, because our bodies
ordinarily use up over six pounds of
water every day. Somewhat more
slowly, but surely, the solid resources
Of the body are used up by the oxygen
also.
First the fatty material, which was
stored when we ate more than neces-
sary, is combined with oxygen. Next
the tissues and muscles try to save
the vital organs. And at last the
vital organs themselves are gradually
gnawed by the oxygen. In the end,
even the brain, heart and lungs be-
come fuel for the nre-and We die.
The burning process In the body is
simply the combination Of parts Of the
body with the oxygen, exactly as the
burning Of anything else Is the COM
bination of the material with the
oxygen.
The food we eat constantly renews
the parts of the body which are 30
increasingly combining with the oxy-
gen we breathe. Therefore the healthi-
est foods are those which are the
best body builders-those which con-
tain the substances that build muscle,
bone, nerve and blood.

ming were all of. Her friend had
called and reported that sudden illness
in the family had made the bridge
party impossible.
JED heard this news with real alarm.
He had to get a sheet from up
stairs, and If his parents didn't 60 out,
how could he do it?
For a while he watched for an op-
portunity. but his mother and father
settled down to read IN the living
room. With his path to the second
floor blocked Jed decided to try the
basement, in the hope that there
would be sheet In the laundry. There
wasn't. Nor was there anything else
large enough and light enough in
color to serve his purpose.
Jed was now genuinely worried. It
was getting close to O'Clock. The
boys would be back from the movies
in a half hour, and he had to have
some sort of ghost in the new house
to greet them.
He hurried to the garage and got
the f1ashlight, still hoping he might
get chance to go upstairs. Then
coming back toward the house, he
stopped with a sudden exclamation.
In the yard nexG door, something
large and light-colored was hanging
on Mrs. Trent's clothesline.
Jed hurried over. 1t was light
woolen blanket, cream colored, which
had been hung out to air that after
noon and forgotten. With guilty
feeling, but impelled by desperation
Jed pulled 1t of the line, folded it
under his arm, and hurried up the
alley toward the new house.
LIE ENTERED by the rear door. and
was hardly inside when he heard
a noise that brought him up sharply.
Somebody was already in the house!
Cautiously, Jed tiptoed across the
floor toward the front room. He saw
the flicker of candlelight, and then
knew the truth, which was more than
he had possibly hoped for. Caroline
was actually here, practicing for dane
ing, and the investigating committee
would see her!
Peering cautiously around the door
Of the front room, Jed saw her. Again
she had the candle, set on the floor
at one side, and beside 1t was her
book Of instructions. She was wear
ing the same frilly costume, and in

But the incident Of the lacrosse

rankled, and when his father re.
minded him Of the debt he owed him
for the broken glass. that didn't hell
matters any.
THEN one morning Jed had just
finished breakfast when he heard
Hoops Hooper's whistle out front. HI
hurried out, to find Hoops bursting
with news.
"Say!" he cried. There's something
in this new house business after all
My kid sister was coming past there
last night and she saw a light. She
ran home, scared half to death. Now
what do you know about that?"
Jed smiled in a very superior man.

you?" he said triumphantly. We'll,
guess now you know"
Hoops nodded emphatically. yeah
and I'm sure going to be on hand to-
night. I think we ought to 60 Later
than We did before"
Jed was thinking with lightning
rapidity. Gee, Hoops, I'm sorry
can't be there tonight. But you can
get two or three of the other fellows
and act as an investigating COM
mittee. And if were you, wouldn't
tell anybody much about it or you'll
have so many over there they'll scare
'em of sure"
Hoops agreed. That's what I'll do, II
he said.
HOOPS chose three companions for
the evenings expedition with great
care. And to keep their purpose q
secret, the four boys decided to 60 to
the movies and stop at the new house
on the way home about $50.
That fitted in perfectly with Jed'a
rapidly forming plans. He had re-
solved that the fellows weren't going
to be disappointed this time, whether
Caroline showed up or not. If she
didn't come. he would provide ghost
himself and make certain that the
gang would come back again on other
evenings and so catch Caroline.
Jed knew exactly what he was going
to do. His mother and father were
going out that evening to play bridge
| with some friends. Therefore the
coast would be clear. He'd get sheet
from upstairs and the flashlight from
the garage, steal down the alley to the
new house and be inside when the
gang showed up. With the light and
the sheet, he could play ghost before
a window and escape back down the
alley before they could cross the
street to investigate.
Jed could hardly wait until evening
arrived Then shortly after supper,
when his mother and father were pre-
pairing to go out, his troubles began.
