"Dirty-Nine" Model
Car Makes O. Debut.

Glencoe-The latest thing in pow
cred vehicles for the transportation OF
at least the driver made its appear
ance on the streets of this city last
week. Tommy Marshall, youthful auto
mobile designer, engineer, and manu-
facturer, ably demonstrated the pro-
duct of his drawing board when his
"dirty-nine" model car came out of his
shop and began putt-putting" up and
down the streets. Each day the little
car, made up of wagon wheels, wash
ing machine engine, miscellaneous lum-
Der, bolts, nails, and so forth, goes back
into the shop for minor improvements
Power seems to be the object rather
than speed. Well, Tommy, more power
to you-it must be great fun.

HANDLING THE ANGRY CHILD

Reasoning with child while he is
angry is useless. Wait until his anger
has subsidized before talking to, or argu-
ing with him, for violent emotion
hinders his ability to think clearly.
Removing the source of the trouble
often works with small children. If
a baby gets upset over trying to put
a block into box that is too small for
it, take the toy away, and substitute for
it something that he can manage. If
it is at the table that the trouble oc-
ours, watch closely to see what may be
done to change the situation. Maybe
his chair is too low for the height of
the table or perhaps he is uncomfor-
table because his feet dangle. Perhaps
his fork is too big for him to handle,
or his glass is an awkward shape that
results in his spilling his milk
Diverting child's attention is
another workable method. If he wants
a toy that his brother has, think up
something interesting for him to do for
you, that will take his mind off the toy.
If a two-year-old is impatient while
you are putting on his outdoor wraps,
call his attention to something that is

Thousands of Frogs
Are Killed by Cars.

Windom-Like the old Egytians the
people of this locality seem to be hav-
ing plague of frogs, although they can
scarcely be called a plague since they
have been doing no harm. After every
rain one may see them hopping across
the highway in great numbers at night
1t would be hard to estimate how many
thousands of them were killed by cars,
just between Window and Bingham
Lake on Number co. People noted pc
culiar spots" on the paving and then
discovered that they were dead frogs
which had been hit by cars. For a
couple of miles out of Window they
would easily average four dead frogs to
the square yard

There are two things that you should
give your Children good example and
a good education. A good example is
also a safe example.
Recently I had a very strange ex-
perience. I saw young child, whom
had just overheard tell his mother
that he had been instructed not to cross
in the middle of the block, suddenly and
literally yanked off the sidewalk in the
middle of the block by his parent and
marched across the street.
That kind of example belittles the
safety effort and the safety idea in the
mind of the child.
Set the right and the safe example.

put the ball on the 5O-yard stripe.
Another pass, Prola to Banks, picked
up nine yards, and Banks bucked the
line for first down, with the pig skin

A pass, Prola to Banks, was COM

Virginia took the ball and on the
first play picked up "a yards, advancing
the ball to Ely's 33-yard line, on a
lateral that the officials admitted was
plenty close, with the crowd agreeing.
A substitute quarterback, as he was
tackled, heaved the ball to Bone who
wasn't stopped until he reached the 81
yard marker. Two plays picked up ten
yards and first down. Four downs
later the best the Queen City team
could do was to advance the ball six
yards, and Ely took the hall on downs.
About two minutes in the final quarter

During the remainder of the game.
Ely tried to connect for a scoring run
with several passes but was unSuccess-

It's difficult for a team which

It's much more difficult, almost
impossible, to come back up If the

have squads that aren't beset with
injuries, all important players be-

Opposing this quartet is Benny

artists in this years scholastic
crop. He is aided in the same de.
partment by Tony Di BlaSi and
Jimmy Porter. Jimmy Clark, Mt.
