GROUP WORKING
in INTEREST OF
CULTURAL UNITS
START MOVE TO HAVE KEY
wESTERS SEND LETTERS
TO REPRESENTATIVES IN
WASHINGTON

Edwin Trevor, president of the
Key West Community Art Cen
ter Corporation, is, calling on
Citizens of Key West to get busy
sending letters to Pat Cannon,
representative of Florida, District
a; Claude Pepper, senator, and c.
o. Andrews, senator, in Washing
ton, relative to the WPA Appro-
priations Bill, now before Con-
gress, which excludes all Gull
turaI projects.
Mr.. Trevor points out that the
Community Art Center in Key
West, which has required great
efforts to bring to life and vital
ity, is threatened by the with
orawal of government funds and
support on June 80. He feels that
this project is one which will
prove OF permanent value to Key
West, and that in time it will
lead to a form of community
center work, which, as in other
Florida cities, will be a most i'm
portant attraction to winter viSi-
tors.
He declares it is vital there be
no delay in the dispatch of the
letters emphasizing the work
which has been done, the value
to the community and the loss
any curtailment of funds would
mean, Mr.. Trevor believes that a
large number of letters from in
terested persons in the city will
have the desired effect in Wash
ington.
Mr.. Trevor asks the earnest
and prompt attention to sending
these letters for the sake of a
happier and more prosperous Key
West. He suggests that points to
be stressed in the letters are:
The Art Center opened to the
public on July 3, 1888. The Fed
eral Art Project granted the al
location of the Center at the urg-
ent request of a large, group of
citizens, who realized the isolat-
ed location of the community
and felt the need of their fellow
citizens for cultural uplift through
the fine arts, which had been
denied them and which could be
made possible by a Federal Art
Center and program.
In response to the call for
sponsorship, the city responded
with a city-owned building, and
utilities, substantial subscrip-
! tons of money by the County
Commissioners, Senior and Junior
Woman's Clubs. Rotary Club,
Lions Club, Stone Church Service
! Club, Garden Club, Parent-Teach-
ers Associations and many other
civic organizations and clubs.
There were subscriptions by
many individuals, who later be-
came members in the corporation
which now directs the sponsoring
of the Art Center.
The Center is already a force
in the community. The value to
the city through the encourage
lment of creative power and the
greater appreciation of art in re-
lation to everyday life cannot be
over-estimated in this commun-
ity, which is only just on the
! threshold of new birth through a
difficult rehabilitation program.
Any curtailment of government
funds at this time for the Art
Center would mean an irrepar-
able loss to the community, not
as yet financially able to carry
| on the educational Arts program.

Takes Up Printing Hobby and Develops It Into Paying
This Suit of Armor Is Easy to Make
Cardboard Can Be Nodded Into Battle
Equipment of Days of Knighthood
BY BYRL ]. KENNEDY.

II you want to make something
different, try constructing suit of
armor.
One of these suits, such as were
worn by the knights of old, can be
made quite simply, life-size, from
light cardbroad at a cost of ap-
proximately 81.
To make my outfit used light
weight cardboard from the laun-
dry wrappings around our family
washing.
Besides the cardboard you will
need laths, brass paper fasteners,
adhesive tape, bit Of muslin and
a quart of aluminium paint. The
paint cost me 10 cents, the fasteners
20 cents and the tape and the laths
together 20 cents. Your tools will
be scissors, hammer, a saw and
an ice-pick.
1t is best to make the breastplate
first. You cut this from a single
piece of cardboard, just as you would
cut out a sleeveless dress. Cut it
so it is all in one piece (see figure in
the accompanying illustration).
Mold this to fit your body. Fasten
the open side and shoulder together
with paper fasteners so that you can
wear it.
After the breastplate make the
legs. Each leg consists Of three Sec
tions-kneecap thigh and lower leg,
the last two being made like CYL
inders.
Figure 2 shows how the two leg
sections are joined together at the
back of the knee by two strong
Waxed cords to allow freedom in
walking, while figure shows the
kneecap, consisting of two pieces Of
Cardboard held to the back of the
upper leg section by brass fasteners.
When worn, the legs are held up
by waxed cords tied to belt worn
by the person in the ormor. Be sure
to get the legs big enough so that
they can be slipped over your feet.
To construct the arms use the same
method you used for the legs. The
arms are fastened to the armor
body by a cord running through
the top of the upper arm and slipped
around the neck of the wearer. Caps
similar to the kneecaps should be
made for the elbows.
The gloves are made by tracing
hand and wrist on a fiat piece of
cardboard. Cut this out and fasten
the wrist to the arm with paper
fasteners. Next make % small
cylinders, about an inch long, using
three of these to make each finger
and two for each thumb. Wrap tape
around the cylinders to hold the
section together. Slip the jointed
finger cylinders over the cardboard
fingers of the cutout hand and glue
them so the wearer can slip his
fingers into them.
A gauntlet is made by cutting out
a cardboard strip big enough to fit
around the wrist. 1t should flare out
at the top.
To construct the skirt" cut strips
of cardboard extending from the
waist to the center Of your upper leg.

BELLS.
Ring out the old ring in the new:
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
But bells have not always had
such gay tones. Slaves have been
compelled to wear them to make
escape difficult Soldiers have been
called to arms by their clangor. In
the Middle Ages, after being dressed
in baptismal robes, blessed and
dedicated to such purposes as
"averting whirlwind, thunder and
lightning" they were rung to an
nounce important and solemn
events.
A church warden in Henry Wis
reign left record of payment for
"halloWing" church bell named
Harry and of Sir William Symys.
Richard Clech and Mistress Smith
being godfathers and godmother at
the conservation
Deaths were announced by soul
bells. In st. Paul's Cathedral there
was bell rung only when the Brit
ish sovereign died.
The curfew, originated by Will
liam the Conqueror, told people
when to get up in the morning and
when to lock their doors, put out the
lights and go to bed at night; per-
sons disobeying curfew laws we're
severely punished. On ships time
is still reckoned in terms of bells.
A priced possession is the Liberty
Bell, which proclaimed our inde-
pendence.

From your supply of cardboard,
cut a piece slightly larger than the
hole in the helmet. Place paper
fasteners at the two upper corners
of this piece and insert the fasten-
ers into the two Sits in the helmet,
so that the mouth and nose piece
can slide up and down, the wearer
being able to mask himself COM
pletely. Last of all, cut two holes
for the eyes Zig. s..
Now the suit can be mounted on
framework of iaths with a heavy
wooden base. Build the frame so
that the middle of it can be removed,
allowing the armor legs to be slipped
on and off Gig. y.
The lance, sword and shield will
complete your armor suit. Make
lance by mailing two broomsticks to-
gether and shaving the end of one
to long, fine point. Prepare a disk
of cardboard, Is inches in diameter,
and put the lance through its CEN
ter. arranging the disk about three
feet from the head Of the lance.
A sword made from a lath is fast
ened to the armor suits waist by
cardboard loop.
The round shield, 21a feet in diam
eter, is made of cardboard also. So
that the knight" can slip it on his
arm, fasten large loops of cardboard
to the inside of the shield. Paint
coat of arms on the other side.
Apply two coats of aluminium paint
to give the armor a shiny metallic
finish. The cardboard will absorb
most of the first coat.
The armor not only makes a fine
costume for masquerade party, but
will be an impressive sight standing
in the corner of your room.

Edwin, who is in the ninth grade
at Gordon Junior High School, has
decided to devote the remainder of
his life to printing.
Il love it he said. Just a
couple of weeks ago, arranged to
have a period every day in the print
ing class at Gordon, and when I
get out Of school I'm going to try
for job at the Government Print
ing Office.
Plight now, though" he con-
cluded, I'm working awfully hard
to get that new press. I'm getting
up 500 blotters to send out to
churches to try to get some more
ticket orders. and I've put sign on
the front door-E. A. Pacheo,

Il didn't intend to 60 into the
printing business" Edwin said. IT
was just hard up for something
interesting to do, and about that
time 1 saw a small printing press
advertised in a magazine. 1t didn't
cost very much, so I decided to get
one just for the fun of it."
Edwin's stepfather, B. F.. Hamil-
ton, carpenter. built him a shop in
the cellar of their home, with
table for his press and a case for
his type, and pretty soon he was
receiving orders for stationery from
his friends.
There are a lot of things I can't
print, Edwin said, because by press
is so small, and don't have much
type, either. I'm getting plenty of
orders for letterheads, envelopes
and cards, though, and I'm putting
nearly every cent of profit back
into the shop in the form of new
equipment. So far, I haven't been
able to buy anything except some
new type, but if things keep going
as they are, I'll soon be able to get
a larger press. And then I'll really
do some business"
But Edwin's printing has not been
confined to stationery. In recent
months. he has filled several orders
for tickets for dinners, plays, ba-

Resolutions

Most of us don't have any
trouble in finding plenty of
material for New Year resolu-
tlons. We all have lots of
faults, big and little. that could
very well be corrected during
1899.
But there's real danger in
making too many resolutions,
II you are actually serious in
your desire to improve yourself.
The more you make, the less
attention you will be able to give
to each one. and as a result all
OF them are apt to get broken
pretty quickly.
It's far better to sit down and
think things over, and then de-
eide what one resolution it
would be best for you to make.
The mere act of thinking over
your shortcomings will be a
good thing for you, and it won't
be hard to decide on the worst
of them.
Then make a real, iron-clad
resolution to overcome that
weakness, and give it all the
force Of your attention and
your will. Don't break the
resolution, no matter what
happens. If you do this, you
won't only remove a fault, but
you will strengthen your will
power, and it will be easier to
overcome those other things
later on. THE EDITOR.

Quiz on Timepieces
Will Entertain
Your Guests

Let's have a clock party early in
1899. For this you'll need to bor-
row all the alarm and striking"
clocks you can find. The idea is to
have them set at different hours,
and to put them in all sorts of un-
usual places so that chimes and
eongs will sound from everywhere
In the most unexpected way.
Place the alarm clocks under
chairs, behind davenport cushions,
or wherever they'll give your guests
the biggest surprise and a good
laugh. Have them going off at
intervals all evening by setting them
for different hours.
Use black-andWhite decorations,
with clock faces drawn on white
cardboard peering from everywhere,
black-and-white paper drapes, a
black-and-whi checkered paper
cloth for your table, and black-and
white glass or china.
And here's a clever queStion-and-
answer clock game called What
Do You Know About a Clock?"
Have your questions typed on slips
of paper with space for answers,
Pass these around, set time limit
for answering, and make your prizes
something to do with time-a cal
endar, diary. kitchen clock, or egg
timer. Here are some questions to
start you off:
/. What book of the Bible is on
q clock? AnsWer-Numbers.
2 What part of a clock means
most to an Oriental? Answer-Face.
g. What has a bed in common
with clock? Answer-Springs.

LOTS OF FUN.
Before my house there is hill,
And every time there's snow,
Up and down the whole day long
The little children go.
I put my coat and leggings on,
A warm cap on my head;
And I go out to play there, too,
And ride upon my sled.
Way down the hill we slide so fast
Then up again we run;
And so, you see, we all agree,
That winters lots of fun.

FUN IN THE SNOW.

When woke up one morning,
The ground was full of snow;
I took my sled up the hill
AS fast as I could 60.
I wrapped my ears in a muf1er,
And down the hill I went;
I didn't mind the weather.
Because was pleasure bent.
My dog was out there with me,
Enjoying every ride,
And when the fun was over,
My poor dog almost died.

SNOW.
Look at the softly falling snow
It falls so gently I hardly know
From where it comes and why.
1t slowly drifts from heavens gray,
And covers tree, house, each byway,
And all is strangely quiet.
1t shines like diamonds on the
ground,
And casts a fairy light around;
1t makes you almost dizzy.
But then the happy children come :;
They make the outdoors fairly hum
And the magic spell is broken.
From her retreat appears the sun;
With her appearance gone is their
fun,
And with their fun the snow
