I certainly appreciate your interest in
my articles and I hope that I have
answered your questions to your sat-
isfaction.
Now for Magnetic Match-ic! !"
The trick that bears this catchy title
is really mystifying and I sincerely
hope you like it.
Effect-A box of matches is shown
by the performer, and the matches
therein seem to be very ordinary.
Having shown the box and its in
his strange magic power he can cause
the matches to adhere to the interior
of the box. So saying, he turns the
closed box over and slowly pulls the
drawer out of the box. Much to the
amazement and amusement of all con-
cerned, the matches remain in the
box without any apparent support.
EXplanation-This trick depends
upon a broken match, which is just
long enough to go across the drawer.
This match is wedged across. and
just above, the loose matches. When
the drawer is partly opened it is not
seen.
The magician. by taking the drawer
out upside down, clearly shows that
the matches adhere to the box, since
they don't fall 10 the floor. Having
demonstrated this. he taps the box on
the table and all the matches de-
magnetic and fall in a heap on the
table. This tapping process merely
dislocates the broken match and it is
hidden from view under the heap.

Dinah Gives Betty
Cookie Recipe for
Health Day Party
By Bessie E. Earle.

WERE going to have a party at
w school on May day." Betty told
Dinah.
Are you going to be Queen of the
May as you were last year?" Dinah
asked.
NO" Betty answered. Were go
ing to celebrate Health day. We will
choose the healthiest boy and girl
and we'll do exercises and drills, too.
1t will be fun. See the list of rules
We have for our Health day, and all
the days, for that matter" Betty
explained.
l. Ten hours sleep.
2. Eight glasses of water daily.
3. One quart of milk daily.
4. Three meals day, including
milk leafy vegetables, fruit, whole
grain cereals and breaes.
5. Play and exercise out Of doors.
6. Visit doctor and dentist twice a
year.
Il would suggest health cookies for
your Health day party" said Dinah.

thin wood and shaped similarly to the
sketch. Use a small sponge-rubber
ball, through which a hole is punched
SO that rubber string may be
threaded.
The rubber thread or string may be
cut from a square piece of inner tube
rubber. In order to make the string
sufficiently long for the bounce-back
ball, use a pair Of scissors to cut the
square of rubber. Starting by round
ing off the corners, cut the string
uniform in thickness and in circular
cut This produces real long stretch
of string from a small square of
material.
One end of the long rubber string
is attached to the center of the paddle
head by inserting it through small
hole drilled in the wood. Knot the
string to hold it. The other end of
the string is pushed through the hole
in the rubber ball and knotted. The
length of the string may be as great
as desired, but So inches will be found
sufficient to give the ball quick
snap back when batted.

There's only week or so of the term

A HALF hour later Bill returned,

had obtained for travelling expenses.

Hines objected at first, but I con-
vinced him that this is a real emer-
gency. I'm going to catch the 8
O'Clock train"
Tuck watched bill restlessly when.
after dinner, he hurriedly packed a
bag and prepared to leave. Bill was
so impatient to be on his way that
he left for the station long before
train time. He shook hands with
Tuck gravely.
II wish you were coming along"
he said. II don't know what I may
run into down there"
Tuck nodded Wish I were, too"
he replied. We'll. good luck. Let me
know what it's all about"
Bill trudged down the long hill to
the railroad station and paced back
and forth on the platform until the
train finally pulled in. He was the
only passenger taking the train and he
found seat easily. He settled him.

Tuck scrambled to his feet. Help.

Bill shook his head violently. Not
Betty" he said. She wouldn't do
that. She would know I'd take it
seriously"
But why this crazy code?" de-
manded Tuck, If something is the
matter. why didn't she just write and
tell you about it, or send you a tele-
gram?"
Bill was pacing excitedly about the
room. Maybe she couldn't" he re,

Why doesn't she tell Uncle Joel about

Tuck, Uncle Joel is sort of queer

Weather Maps Broadcast.

I 1SING a system somewhat akin to
the Wirephoto apparatus which
Is employed by the Associated Press
In its breaking transmission of
pictures, the United States Weather
Bureau now supplies ships at sea
with complete weather maps, often
several times day if storm condi-
tionS are serious
Under the system now being en-
ployed, the New York branch of the
Weather Bureau prepares the maps,
which are then sent by radio by the
Radio Corp. Of America. Ships par
ticipating in the service are equipped
with receiving sets which, in fairly
short time, turn out copies Of the
maps.
In the past it has been the prac-
tice of ship officers to pick up the
Information broadcast by the Weather
Bureau from Washington, using the
data to make their own maps. Now,
with the new development, it is pos
sible to receive maps prepared by
trained meteorologistS.
The matter is being given further
experimental treatment In the hope
pf developing even better methods Of

Too Explanations
offered for Origin
OF Familiar OK

THE familiar 20. K" so generally
used to signify agreement. is
credited in Webster's Dictionary to
the language of the Choctaw Indians.
The expression was supposedly once
the word "okeh.' meaning, 1T is so,
and not otherwise
But Ohio history gives another
origin to the expression. 1t was in
1840. during the campaign for the
election of President Harrison, that a
great political rally was held at the
little town of Urbana. Farmers in
decorated farm wagons gathered from
miles around. The wagons bore
streamers with various slogans. but
the one in which We are most inter-
ested read, The People Is OH Kor-
rect" Because Of the wrongly spelled
words. the occupants of this wagon
were teased by the crowd, but one en-
terprising tavern owner later turned
the joke the other way by naming his
inn on the National road. The o. K.

Travellers carried away the name of
the inn and the story of its meaning.

from Fannie M. Wood about eagles at

too many things have come up to
delay it. Here it is:
Dear Mr.. Mitchell:
Il was very much interested in your
article about the eagle and in reply
here is true eagle story:
Bald eagles do attack humans and
! speak from terrifying experience.
Mine was not an exception, for have
known of several instances of bald
eagles battling children.
Years ago, back in Oregon, three
of us children were set upon by an
enormous eagle as we walked home
from a fishing trip In the country.
I'VE had reached clearing when
the eagle swooped down upon us,
talons spread. Too terrified to run.
we still had presence Of mind enough
to beat him with our long bamboo
fishing poles.
Several times he retreated and at
tackled, never quite striking any of US,
though. After several attempts he
flew away and We never saw him
again. Possibly he was goaded by
hunger; don't know.
Later We moved to the beach at
Newport. Greg. where We became ac-
customed to seeing eagles as we roamed
the spruce forests of the foothills.
Many times I saw them at close
range when alone in the wild country
surrounding Cape Foulweather Light,
but never was my horrible experience
repeated.
