slender slug Of type and drops the
newly made line into Its place with its
fellow lines.
Immediately thereafter a great arm
of machinery swoops down to the line
OF dies from which the molten metal,
hardened, has been removed, and car
ries them back to their proper places
in the cupboard at the top.
Each little mold, or die, falls into Its
proper niche, because it is notched like
key. A screw moves it around on a
thread, and as it touches its own
niche it drops, because the keylike
notches fit. In this way the dies used
in molding each line of type are saved
and stored away in the magazine for
future use.
The whole process is completed by
the machine. The operator only
touches the keys and the machine
chooses the molds, fills them with the
molten metal, withdraws the hard
ened type from the dies, shaves the
line of type neatly of all rough edges,
places it just behind its predecessor
in this column and prudently returns
each mold to its proper place in the
cupboard.

Best Of all, when completed, his
models make beautiful decorative
pieces for his home at 6l32 Broad
Branch road.
Though he expcts to be an engineer
in the future, modelling is just hobby
with this student of Wilson High
School.
He started approximately six years
ago, despite some encouragement
from his family.
Grantham, 1t seems, was looking
over a magazine showing models and
decided to send off for blue prints.
His mother thought it was much too
difficult for an 11-year-old boy with
only a home set of carpenter tools
with which to work.
Grantham, however, was just wee
bit stubborn. He wrote for the prints
anyway and went to work.
LIS first completed model was a
pirate ship and it was a beauty.
This one he gave to his mother. You
can imagine the rest. She no longer
doubted her sons ability and from
then on was as enthusiastic over this
new hobby as any boy could wish.
Grantham's father, however, has
been the favored recipient of most Of
his handicraft. This, as it turns out,
is a sort OF dual compliment to his
parents. 1t works this way.
Mr.. Graham likes to get models
for Christmas presents, 50 his son
must be very secretive in order to
keep the gifts surprise.
But I have to tell somebody" +"
Grantham explained, so I tell
mother. She sees everything from
start to finish. But since don't have
much chance Of surprising her, don t
give her any models"
There's another reason Grantham
likes to remember his father with such
gifts. Mr.. Graham is SO proud Of the
work that just about as often as he
receives model he gives his son, in

Young Residents of Capital Area Follow Varied Pursuits and
Skill Shown
In Sampler
Production
Cross Stitch H b by
Brings Originality
in Design Making.

THERE'S nothing old-fashioned
about 12-year Bernice Car
penter of Arlington, Va, except her
hobby-making cross-stitch samplers.
Bernice Is an active Girl Scout
member and is even something of a
"tomboy," with strong leaning for
outdoor sports. On the other hand,
she loves doing handwork. She
been making quaint cross-stitch
samplers for several years now, and
they're still her favorite recreation,
though she long ago lost count of
oil she's given away.
"At first l made them for my own
room and for members of the family"
she said. But now it's fun to re-
member a friends birthday, or to
send a sampler to relatives in another
city"
All sorts of designs find their way
into the dainty stitched patterns she
makes. There are houses and gar
dens with cross-stitch flowers; foun-
tains, trees and old-style stage
coaches I'LL formal spaces above little
notices. Most Of the figures in the
samplers wear old-fashioned dress,
quaint bonnets and hoop skirts under
ruined parasols. There may be dec
orative blue birds or brilliant cardi-
mails, adding a dash of color in q
corner. too.
While Bernice likes to find attrac-
tive ready-made designs, she also
makes up her own patterns. But this
is more difficult to do than using a
design already stamped.
When design sampler, I look
ut picture I like, to get an idea
Bernice explained the process. Then
I draw it. But tie hardest part Of
all is counting the squares for the
cross stitches. If you lose count after
you're once started, you have to start
ell over again. But of course il you
make your own pattern, it's more
original than one you buy"
When sampler is finished, it is
carefully ironed and mounted in a
, plain narrow frame, with a glass to
keep 1t clean.
In selecting colors for the en-
broidery silks used in the samplers,
Bernice has very definite ideas of
what is suitable.
IF it's gay subject. like a group
OF children playing under a tree, all
the strong colors look incest" she
said. "Or all soft colors are pretty
together for dainty sampler, like
one showing Colonial ladies slipping
tea. For a sad subject, the dull
browns, grays and violets, with some
black. are best"
The sad" samplers are ones with
lonesome kittens, little dogs in the
rain, or weeping willows, under which
lovers part. Bernice thinks silhou-
cites. figures filled in solidly with
stitches, are also good for sad subjects.
Lots of people like these sweetly SOL
INN little pictures best.
Bernice, herself, loves to do gypsy
samplers. In these, which are bright
and gay, she can use all colors in
many fascinating ways. There are
bright neckerchiefs and striped skirts,
aiming black hair and dancing flg-
ures, to plan colors for.
The more colors you can use, the
more variety there is. And it's fun
to work them out, too," Bernice COM
mented. Il have a good time when
somebody's birthday is coming or
get some samplers ready for Christ
mas presents"

Get Live Things
For Collections
BY HORACE MITCHELL,

Sto 1uttU.
WANT to 90 collecting2 It's just
about the right time for it.
There are all sorts of young things
around the open country for an en-
ergetic young customer to pick up.
Young woodchucks Now there's an
item. They make swell pets until they
get old and crusty, and a box trap
baited with vegetable ought to get
them.
Crows are in season. Be careful
when you climb up after them. You
might get a nasty fall. Chipmunks.
when caught young, are lots Of fun.
And hawks-why, if you get hawk
and he grows to be very tame, you
can train him as falcon. But look
out that he doesn't hurt you unin-
tentionally with his talons.
Before you go out collecting. YOU
ought to get copy of the game laws
and see what species are protected and
what are not. Then you won't ieel
guilty when you meet the game pro-
tectors (wardens). Without those fell
lows our wild lands wouldn't be worth
having.
Leave alone the young Of protected
birds and animals. If you find fawn
in the woods, even II its mother does
not seem to be anywhere around, don't
go near 1t.
Foxes and wildcats and hawks and
owls can all kill fawns. So can dogs.
Foxes and wildcats and dogs will often
follow the trail Of . man in the woods
and il that trail leads to . fawn or q
birds nest or a rabbits nest then
damage will be done. Fawris are often
left alone in the woods by their
mothers while the latter feed some
distance away.
Minnows and sunflsh and snAils and
plants-in fact, all the makings for .
fine aquarium-can be collected now.
And it's more fun to do 1t than to buy
things for 3 tank in . store.

Radio Plays Big Role
In Boys Musical Life

TO HEAR 11-year- old Western Jones,
Sd. tell 1t, you'd think singing is
not very important in his young life.
The things he's most interested in,
he says, are base ball, swimming, boat
ing. fishing and bicycle riding.
AS for the future-he looks with
favor on a variety of careers: Doctor,
lawyer, foot ball player, tap dancer,
Oman.
Maybe Westerns just kidding or
maybe he means it. But friends
around Washington will be pretty
much disappointed II Master Jones
doesn't do something with his voice.
CHURCHES, community affairs like
the circus at Central High Stadi-
um, Masonic entertainments and radio,
among others, have frequently had
the benefit o. his vocal ability in
musical programs. In fact, with
about 10 public engagements in one
month alone, Western has very little
time to devote to his hobbies.
Inc young singer mas hlgh tenor
voice, which adapts itself well to
solemn hymns, cowboy songs or swing
music. He likes popular numbers
and is a great radio fan.
Radio, in fact, has played an I'M
portant role in his musical life.
He learned his first song, Pagan
Love Song" at the tender age of 3
by listening to frequent broadcasts Of
that number. At the age of 4 he
made a radio appearance.
SINCE that time Western has per-
formed often over a local radio
program for children. Studio officials
say that the telephone usually rings
busily after each one Of his broad
casts with calls from fans"

With the candlenut torch the ma

spear them in mid-air with homemade

In addition to singing, Western
studies the guitar and tap dancing
both Of which are incorporated on his
programs. He also does limitations
for luminosity to amuse his mother
he said. Mrs. Jones, incidentally, was
on the stage before her marriage.
Western lives with his parents at
