set the trial for next week.
One count charges Guilfoile with
retaining $500 obtained In a judg-

is that he appropriated to his own
use, money owned by Joseph Petro-

The action dates back to June

Judge Cornell continued the case
yesterday on request of Attorney

On his record, Col. Fleming is a
good man to handle situation
like that, too. AS its executive
officer, he helped organize PWA:

detached and sent to take charge

building jobs weren't going
smoothly, plans weren't turning out
right. Fleming Strengthened out the
mess and co-ordinated all the
RSA's architectural and engineering
projects.
The general verdict is that the
wage-hour law will get enforced
right up to the hilt when the colonel
gets his hands on it.

Makingof
Jewelry
Carves Necklaces
And Bracelets
From Wood
Prize Contribution.
BY BEVERLY ULMER, IS,
FafrfaY (Va \ IJiob SrbooI


Since costume jewelry is all the
style this year, I thought I would
tell some of The Junior Star readers
an easy and inexpensive way to
make some.
There are many materials to
choose from-cork, wood, rubber
and others. You can even use odds
and ends around the house.
I chose wood because it is so
plentiful. Soft wood is best be-
cause the ornaments must be
carved. You may choose whatever
design you like. I made mine all
hearts, but there are many others.
A good idea for a necklace and
bracelet to match, would be to
string diamonds, hearts, spades and
clubs.
The wood should be about one
eighth Of an inch thick. Draw the
desired design and then carve it
out. If you wish to put your name
on 1t, make small branding irons
out OF hair pins, and burn the let
ters into the wood.
In order to string your necklace,
bore a hole through the wood.
String them either with a chain or
beads. I used pearls Wire or thread
may be used for stringing.
The ornaments can be painted
all sorts of gay colors to brighten
up the dull winter dresses. Then
you'll have something different from
your friends.

Spring, into an inviting shop. Two
old curtains decorate the shelves on
which paper dolls model the latest
fashions. Around the walls lang
pictures from magazines and news
papers, showing some of the fash
ions which can be drawn. On the
tables are booklets showing some OF
the 1899 fur coats. One small table
is used to keep the nails, with which
the customers pay for the clothes
made up.
Opened in July.
Ann opened the shop in July. an
nouncing the opening by placing
sign on a telephone pole in front
of her home. When the shop is open
for business the customers come in
to inspect the dolls, pictures and
booklets on display Then they
choose the dresses they would like
for their paper dolls.
Ann Marie and Jeanne take the
orders, and are paid in nails. The
larger the nail the more purchasing
power it has. Steady customers re-
ceive two nails credit for each 10
nails spent.
Ann Marie and Jeanne do all the
drawing and it takes about two days
to fill an order. The buyers leave
their dolls at the shop, and the
dresses are drawn from the pictures
on display. The shop was closed
temporarily while the girls collected
new fall and winter fashions, but
Ann Marie and Jeanne expect to
have it open again on Saturdays
after school begins.

Betty Jane insists on launching
her training gradually, never force
fully. The first step is to get the
horse to walk into the water. She
rides the colts mother into the
pond and, even if the little fellow
doesn't follow at first he soon gets
the idea that water is nothing to
