Boy Artist
Has Record
OfHis Work
Subjects in
Which Action Has
Chief Interest.

NINE-YEAR-OLD Tommy Larkin
has a scrap book that tells more
than the story Of his life. 1t tells the
story of almost everything that has
attracted his interest for the past five
years or more
. For ever since Tommy was old
enough to hold q pencil he has been
illustrating events and stories. such as
. trip to the Zoo, President Roose-
velt's inaugural parade, the adventures
Of the three little pigs and an Ameri-
can history studied with his mother.
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs T. D.
1Arkin, feel that their son probably
Owill follow an artistic career later in
life, so many of the sketches he has
made have been preserved carefully
in bullying book This affords re-
markable record of his progress to
date
Tommy is enrolled now in an art
school, where his work is outstanding.
But long before he became an art
student he spent many hours in draw
ing anything from Mickey Mouse and
moonbeams-gay dancing little fig
ures-to an Indian hunt. He seems
to have preference for action pic
lures. in which he is unusually
talented.
Many Of his sketches are from
original subjects. For instance, he
likes to draw oomic-strip characters
and some time ago invented two
individuals whom he called Him"
and Her" Conversations between
Him" and Her" have provided an
interesting series of sketches.
Two years ago Tommy completed
one Of his outstanding works This
was a volume of IS illustrations for
an original story told him by his
mother, in which he was the hero.
Last year he began to use water
paints and has made several beautiful
pictures Of flowers and also a fine
copy of The Laughing Cavalier"
In series Of American historical
subjects he has pictured, in portrait
style. an Indian. explorer, puritan,
0puthern gentleman, slave and, finally,
Andrew Jackson.
Not all visitors to Tommy's home
at Bayard boulevard have the OPP
portunity to see his scrap book. But
few fail to notice several quaint Co.
lonial miniatures in black and white
which he made last Winter. These
have been framed and hung and
eadapt themselves charmingly to the
Colonial interior.
Tommy's work has been so varied
that he doesn't know just what sort
of art he prefers. He's pretty sure he
wants to keep on sketching and paint
ing, however.
He takes piano lessons also, but in
spite of all these studies he has plenty
Of time to play and is regular" boy
In his neighborhood and at the
Somerset School he attends.

plan First Hike
With Best Care

NOV that the weather is warming
up. it's time to think about get
ting out on good old hiking trip,
isn't it?
Our first trip shouldn't be very
long one, for Winter-bound muscles
need breaking in easily. It's good
idea to take a short rest, say or
10 minutes, after every hour or so
of walking. Don't rest too long or
you'll get chilled, particularly if you
were hot when you sat down.
Feet are likely to be soft and tender,
too, so watch for blisters. If you do
get one, open it at the bottom just
enough to let all the water out, using
q needle sterilized in flame. Then
cover it with couple of strips of
clean adhesive tape When you get
home, remove the adhesive, battle your
>beet in warm water and apply a good
antiseptic. With this treatment the
blister won't bother you.
Here's an important reminder-don't
start of on any trip without a good
small flrst-aid kit You never know
when 1t may prove life-saver.

Tufts
Give Beauty
InW00l Rug
Discarded in Homes,
Articles Are Used
for Fine Work.

YOU can use discarded sweaters, ski
socks, or any worn knitted arti-
cles for this unusual rug.
II your wool is heavy, cut strip OF
cardboard about 2 inches wide, but
for finer wool cut it an inch or an inch
and a half wide. Now unravel your
wool and wind about 10 strands over
the cardboard as close together as pos
sible. The number of strands will de-
pend on the weight Of the wool. Wind
it loosely so as not to spoil the "kink,"
for this is what makes the finished
rug so effective.
Now take short piece Of wool. slide
it under the 10 strands, tie 1t tightly
around them, and cut the loops. Slip
1t OF the card and you'll have kinky
tuft of wool. Do this with all your
wool, using as many colors as you
can ind.
Get piece of burlap or canvas and
cut 1t the size you want your rug to
be- Turn about an inch under all
around and sew it down fiat. Use
heavy needle and soft string, and sew
row OF tufts across the end Of your
material in any color arrangement
you like Alternating rows of dark
and light are pretty; you can work out
a design, or just put them on hit
and miss" Your arrangement will
depend a good deal on the colors you
have.
Keep the tufts close together so the
material won't show through and con-
tinue until the whole surface is COW
cred The kinky tufts make it look
so intricate and hard to make you'll
be delighted with the finished rug.

THE ancient art of falconry is still
good sport, in the opinion Of .
group of boys in Chevy Chase who
for several years have been engaged
in hawking falconry" as q nature
study and hobby.
Much credit for local revival Of
this old-time method Of game hunt
ing goes to Robert Chubby Nye Of
5406 Connecticut avenue, who. with
his brother Alva became interested
while thunbing through some library
books several years ago.
Falconry. practiced in China as
far back to 1000 B. c., was IA
vorite recreation of the arstocracy
during the Middle Ages-more, in the
latter instance. as sport than as .
means of getting game for the table,
1t seems.
With Robert and his Chevy Chase
friends. falcons, though trained for
hunting, are regarded fondly in the
light of pets.
Anybody who enjoys outdoor life
and who is interested in studying birds
ought to get big kick out of it,"
Robert declared
JUDGING from the experience Of
y the two Nye brothers, there IS

considerable public interest in fall
conry.
Alva, now = student at the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania. has estab-
lBhed what virtually amounts to q
lecture bureau to meet requests for
instructive talks on hawking. And
Robert, following in his footsteps,
has appeared before several local
clubs and Boy Scout groups for the
same purpose.
Since they have been interested In
the hobby the two have trained to-
gether about IS different hawks, Rob-
ert estimated
His birds have been obtained by
various methods, but usually when
Robert wants a hawk he begins hunt
ing for nests about this time Of year
and then watches until the young
birds are ready to fly.
If you take them then and raise
them on your own hook they won't be
hard to train" he said.
Hawks captured after they are full
grown often make better hunters, but
they also make things a lot more
difficult for their trainer" he pointed
out and continued:
Never keep your hawk in q cage
or any bird for that matter-because
they beat against the enclosure and
are bruised and intimidated.
Instead, a perch should be provided
and the bird should be kept on .
leash.
1T requires, on the average, two
months to train q hawk. They are
taught to return to their owner,
through their appetites, Of course, 50
always feed them off your fist until
they learn that's where they get food.
I'm TEACHING hawk to come to
you, you might start out at first
by letting 1t sit on the edge Of
table and hold your hand q few feet
away. Gradually lengthen the dis
lance until the hawk is about 100
feet away from your fist.
1.-THE first time you get out In the
field with your bird It's apt to take
lot Of persuasion to make 1t return
to you. You may have to call several
hours, but II it's trained properly, it'll
show up in the end"
The hawker should wear heavy
gloves to keep his hands from being
torn by the sharp talons Of the falcon,
Robert added. He also should be care
full not to release his hawk unless It's
hungry
With . well-trained falcon I can
get the limit in quail or rabbits dur
ing the hunting season." he said, but
I enjoy hawks just as much in the
Summer, because they keep me out Of
doors and make such swell pets"

(0ung Capital Residents Follow Varied Pursuits Hobbies
Wesley Meadows Expert
Craftsman in Shop
at Y. NJ. c.. A.
BY MARIA Won yRoOMAN.

pROBABLY almost any boy could
tell in words his idea of how to
gain success in life. But it remains
for Wesley Meadows, II, OF 1921
Seventeenth street to show that idea
in a small wood model, clever of exc
cution and perfect In detail, which he
whitfield from block Of wood With
an ordinary penknife.
Wesley taught himself to carve,
He had never had lesson when he
began to make all sorts Of things from
wood. Now, after working some time,
he has completed boat models, minia-
ture coaches, handsome sheathed
paper knives and finally the success"
model.
The success" model was an en-
tirely original idea. In the craftwork
group OF the Boys Club, at the Dis
trict Y. NJ C. A., Wesley decided to
try to put in concrete form his idea
of what boy must do to become the
success in life every ambitious young
person wants to be. Tiny figures
representing hours of patient carving
and delicate whiting are the result
The model shows a young man in
college cap and gown, sheepskin under
his arm, grasping firmly both handles
Of pillow. Before the pillow walks a
horse. The young man follows after
as he "plows along the road of life
toward success"
Wesley has made every minute de-
tail of the lifelike carving exactly
and with great care. The figures are
painted in actual colors The lips of
the tiny, 3-inch college graduate are
firmly set. We know he intends to
pillow steadily along the road. come
what may, and not stop to look back.
That's Wesleys recipe for success.
He also knows every boy is better
equipped to get there" if he Is armed
with good education-hence the
sheepskin under the small figures
elbow Wesley himself means to
enter a school equivalent 10 college
which will train him in the trade he
wants to follow as his life work. This
will complete his education after he
graduates from high school this year.
Like most boys who spend long,
painstaking hours on some difficult
hobby, Wesley doesn't consider cary
ing hard work. He Is modest about
his accomplishment in that line. He
has sold some Of his beautiful ship
models and instructs some of the
younger boys Of the Boys Club craft
class. This Summer may find him
teaching at the "Y" camp.
But whatever he does. Wesley is
determined to hold In his mind the
success idea of following the pillow and
keeping to his furrow, as surely as
the tiny figure that he has so cleverly
made come alive in wood.

Smooth 1t with fine sandpaper and
you're ready to paint.
Four-hour enamel Is best, but any
leftover paint will do. When you've
painted one part, wait till it's dry be-
fore adding the color next to 1t, or
they'll run together. If you want to
blend colors, however, do it before
they dry. Be sure to keep your marker
nat when painting it, and don't forget
the edges. The back can be painted all

Get . narrow piece Of wood, and

Filing Case
Tobacco Cans Make
Receptacles for Big
Collection.
BY BERNARD KAHN.


CPR1NGTIME Is cameratime in
~ Washington. The magnificent
buildings and beautiful natural Won
ders Of the city offer an unending ar
ray Of unusual subjects for snap
shooters, both young and old.
Building up y rare Photographic
record Of the Nations Capital Is an
opportunity opened to every girl and
boy who lives here. But just as i'm
portant as making the collection OF
pictures Is the problem Of successfully
preserving the negatives. This Is
neatly accomplished by using dis
carded tobacco tins for your film con-
tanners.
Free of cost and easy to obtain, the
nat cans will hold approximately IS
negatives, if the films are not larger
than ~ by 81 inches.
One handy method Of filing the
films is, first, to attach strips Of ad-
hesive tape upon the broad side Of
the tobacco tin. A descriptive word
or two printed upon the white tape
will suffice to remind the photographer
Of the subject Of the negative. Other
wise, frequent hunting through q pile
Of films for = specific picture Is rather
q nuisance.
As the collection grows, the anna
teur cameraman will find it conven-
lent to keep the tin containers to-
gether. A box in which the cans
may be placed In an upright position,
one behind the other, is the most de-
sirable method Of doing this. Thus,
the lobbyist may handle his valuable
negatives easily and quickly. If de-
sired, the tins may be painted in
various colors. This eliminates the
advertising matter found on the metal
tobacco receptacles.
The tins are handy filing cases for
prints as well Is negatives. On long
sea voyages or camping trips the cans
protect the travellers photo record
from adverse weather conditions.
Don't wait until you have taken .
great number Of pictures before OBJ
tanning the tins. Look ahead and
avoid the risk Of torn or lost Aims.
If dad doesn't smoke pipe ask his
friends to save the empty tobacco
cans Tor you.
