SOMETHING NEW IN DARNING
BAGS.

THIS week let's make a darning bag
Even if We don't Like darning
stockings it has to be done, and a
clever bag will make the job pleasanter.
Take a piece of plain material Tin
any color you prefer about u inches
wide and yard long. Turn 3-inch
hem in both ends and sew it down.
Put running stitch across about half
an inch from the lower edge OF this
hem. Now fold the material in half
and crease it. This will make your
bag about is inches deep by IL inches
wide.
On one Of the sides print this verse
and outline it in colored silks:
Said the shoe to the stocking,
"I1l make hole in YOU
Said the stocking to the shoe,
"I'll be darned If you do"
If you draw pictures of the shoe and
the stocking in place of. the words, it
will be much more effective. You
could applique them on if you liked.
When you've done this, sew the sides
together carefully as far as the hem,
then run q cord or q ribbon TO match
your embroidery thread or to contrast

reptiles and outdoor life.
Francis and Carl drew the spotlight
at Mckinley when their collection of
reptiles and amphibians was voted
the best project in the exhibition par
ticipated in by every member of Techs
biology department.
Showing 16 specimens of snakes,
lizards, turtles and toads, most of them
mounted on glass slabs and preserved
in small jars of alcohol, the collection
has been presented to the biology de-
partment as a permanent exhibit
The boys chose the Easter holidays
for their collecting expeditions, partly
because it was good time to get to-
gether.
1t proved to be very good time for
this work on the project. however. for
two reasons. Not only were the rep
tiles easy to see at that time of year,
when there was little foliage for them
to hide behind, but also. having just
come out of Information. most of them
were small and easy to get in small,
handy containers for laboratory.
ONE Of the snakes they captured for
the collection was not small, how
ever. In fact, a local snake student
said that Oscar. a red-bellied water
snake which the boys kept alive for
the exhibit, is one of the largest he
has seen in this locality. Oscar is
more than 4 feet long and just little
under 2 inches thick.
Kept in wooden box with screen
netting across the top. and fed at
intervals, he is easily the most sensa-
tional exhibit in the department at
present.
Capturing Oscar was easy. Francis
and Carl said. but getting him home
was another matter. A pocket hand
kerchief which had been used to carry
small snakes around was out Of the
question, and the net they had with
them wouldn't do either. Finally Fran
els hit upon the happy solution OF
using his undershirt. So Oscar, bun
died up in this garment, writhed
around but was finally brought safely
to his new quarters.
Each day before starting on field
trip we obtained a forked stick for
the purpose Of catching snakes and
a sort Of net made out of q large can
with holes in the bottom Of it to
allow the water to drain out for the
purpose Of catching turtles and frogs,
the boys wrote, in describing their
project.
I'm looking for snakes we went
around damp, watery places and also
on sides OF hills, where We turned
over rocks IN search of them. We
found many frogs in slow-runnine
streams and stagnant pools. Some

soon found that to keep his record
perfect he would have to miss a good
bit of fun. His troop meets on Fri

popular date for high school parties.
Illness never seriously interfereo
with his program, he said. though
on several occasions he attended meet

The party fun he missed. however,
was to a large extent made up by
the fun he had through his Boy
Scout activities.

is now senior patrol leader and
soon will be an assistant scoutmaster.
He has been especially interested In
camping, and after rating standard

John was Cub before he became q

he didn't miss Cub meeting either.
