CELLOPHANE AT THE PARTY.

FOR your next party use cello
phane and toy balloons and see
what an unusual table you'll have.
Here's how you do it.
Cover your table with soft, plain
white cloth, then place sheets of
colored cellophane over this. You
can fasten the sheets together with
matching passepartout binding or in
visible mending tissue, or just wet
It and stick it together If you prefer,
you can cover the table with colored
sateen and use white cellophane.
Now blow up six to ten colored toy
balloons. tie them to heavy wire
mesh flower holder, and set this on
. mirror in the center of the table.
II you use white cellophane a silver
tray Is more effective than the mirror.
Cover the holder with crushed cello
phane.
You can arrange any sort of color
scheme with this idea-soft pastel
shades with dainty white dishes,
dashingly brilliant colors with the
new pottery dishes, or the colors of
any special occasion such as Christ
mas, st. Patricks Day, Easter, etc.
They're all wonderfully effective and
different.
Use round place cards to match
your color scheme, cut an oblong
piece out Of the center, write the
guests names on pieces of paper and
paste them on the back Of the cards.
FAsten q piece of cellophane over
the hole 80 the name shows through.
FAsten them to nut cups that have
been ~frilled" with cellophane, or put
them m your regular holders.

- ONE 10 or IL years ago, when
Thomas Valentine Cooper was a
youngster, his consuming inter-
- est was airplanes. and he spent
most of his spare time constructing
tiny sirplane models.
Today, at 18, Toms chief interest
still is in aeronautics-but now he's a
flyer, with is solo hours in the air
to his credit.
One of the youngest flyers in Wash
ington, he won his student pilots
wings" last summer in Maryland.
In one respect Tom has been un-
usually lucky in having an oppor-
tunity to realize his ambition. His
uncle, Malcolm Hathaway, is presi-
dent of the Tred-Avon Flying Field,
on the Eastern Shore in Maryland, and
Tom has had the benefit of instruc-
ton under Mr.. Hathaway as well as
the use of some of his planes. His
uncle, moreover, says he's good pilot
and wants him to get private pilots
license in the next year or so.
ON THE other hand, Tom. who
wants to become a naval aviator,
has been working for long time
toward that goal.
Modelling planes was beginning.
However, as soon as he was 16-the
earliest age at which boy legally can
begin learning to fly-Tom climbed
into the cockpit and began to study in
real earnest.
He's never had an accident and
thinks the airs much safer than the
highway.
Tom, incidentally. is a comparative
newcomer to Washington, though his
family lived here when he was small.
His education has been varied. to say
the least, and he's seldom been more
than one year in the same school.
Three years of his life were spent in
France and Switzerland. A student at
St. Adams School for Boys here at
present, he's member of the first
football squad, playing Back.
THE son of Mrs. Edward Wroth OF
3717 Reservoir road NV, Tom has
twin sisters, Sophia Gordon and Su-

KANGAROO Hunts

IF THE animals held athletic meets,
the kangaroo, that queer native OF
Australia, would probably hold the
titles for the broad jump, racing and
boxing.
So unusual is the kangaroo that he
really can't be compared with any
other animal. With hind legs over
twice the size of his front legs and a
stiff, thick tail almost as long as his
body, he looks very clumsy, but it is
these powerful legs and tail that en-
able the kangaroo to jump from 20 to
80 feet in one bound, and to travel SO
quickly that the fastest hunting dogs
can't overtake him.
Except occasionally, when feeding,
the kangaroo doesn't use his front legs
for support. He holds an upright po-
sition, and when he's resting he curls
his stout tail under him and sits on it.
He never looks for trouble, and will
not fight unless he is cornered. His
only means of defense is the very long
sharp claw in each of his hind feet.
When he is in dangey of attack he will
speed away with springing leaps, but
If cornered he will turn and fight des-
perately. Resting on his tail, he will
allow the enemy to attack and then
will box with his front paws or hold
him while, with swift strokes, he
wounds or kills his victim with his
terrible sharp claws.
In Australia the kangaroos are con-
stantly hunted because they destroy
the grazing fields needed for cattle
and sheep. Their skins are very val
liable, and the natives use the tail to
make soup.
Kangaroo hunting has become such
a sport that especially swift dogs,
called kangaroo hounds, have been
bred to run the animals down. When
pursued, the kangaroo will run into
shallow water, and when the dogs at
tack him he will grab them, one after
the other, and hold them under water
with his powerful legs and tail until
they drown.
Kangaroos can be easily tanned, and
are trained BY their owners to box

Chemicals
in Mystic
Pitcher
Wine and Water
Poured Into
Glasses
BY THOMAS THE MAGICIAN.

BY THOMAS THE MAGICIAN.
THIS week I am going to describe a
miracle of old, the feat Of chang
ing water into wine, or pouring wine
and water from the same pitcher! For
dramatic effect We'll call this trick
''The Pitcher Of Mystery" I sin
cerely hope that you like it.
Effect-The magician shows pitch
er of clear water reposing upon his
table, and beside it, six glasses.
From the pitcher he pours first a
glass of water and then glass Of wine,
and then another glass of water, and SO
on until all the glasses are filled with
either wine or water. He then pours
them back into the pitcher, and the
entire contents are seen to change to
wine. Once more it is poured into the
glasses, and once more back into the
pitcher, where 1t changes into clear
water, with which the glasses are then
filled.
NExplanation-Perhaps if you are Q
chemistry student this effect isn't sc
| mysterious to you. In the beginning
| I'LL the pitcher with clear, warm water
and into it place two teaspoonfuls OF
tannic acid. This acid is brownish
powder and should be stirred into the
water until it is dissolved.
Into the first OF the glasses place
just a pinch Of oxalic acid. (This
crystals) On this pour just about q
teaspoon Of hot water, in order to dis
solve it thoroughly. Into three other
glasses put four drops of tincture OF
iron; that is, four drops in each glass
This now leaves two glasses with
nothing in them.
After explaining just what you are
going to do-pour water and wine from
the same pitcher-you ask some men,
ber of the audience what beverage he
wishes. II he says wine, then I'll
one Of the glasses that contains the
iron, and the instant that tannic acid
in the water comes in contact with
1t wine-colored fluid is produced.
Perhaps the next person will ask fol
water. If so. fill the glass containing
the oxalic acid. 1t will remain clear
AS time goes on, you will fill the rest OF
the glasses, until at the finish you will
have three wine and three water.
Next, the contents of all the glasses
except the one containing oxalic acic
are poured back into the pitcher. In
stantly the contents change into wine
This wine is poured into the five
empty glasses. Then the glass con-
tanning the oxalic acid is placed into
the pitcher first, followed by the five
glasses of wine. Once more a change
is observed. The wine has vanished
and in its place is water as clear as .
crystal!
The above effect is extremely simple
| if the directions are closely observed
| The chemicals mentioned can be sup.
piled by your corner druggist. They
are harmless to handle. but don't tr,
to drink the wine or water produced
with their aid!

DURING the stress and strain of
the War Between the States
when Lincoln, as President, strove
to save the Union, he had little time
to prepare speeches. And so it
happened that notes on scraps of
paper and his shirt cuffs, made
while he was en- route to Gettysburg
by train, served as the outline for
his dedicatory address at the
Gettysburg battlefield.
Nevertheless, his words ct that

Cones Produce
COnlicaI Birds

&MALL pine cones, or the cones
from any evergreen tree, can be
formed into many comical-looking
birds. Use small twigs to represent
the legs and the necks. Attach a
very small cone, to represent the head,
to q medium-size cone, to represent
the body. Top the head with an
acorn cap. Mount on a small round
or square base.
BY changing the neck and leg posi-
tions the cones can be made to assume
many different poses. Birds of this
type are splendid place favors at
parties.
