Soon we became a little too wet
for comfort. so we jumbled every
thing together and dashed for the
automobile. We stayed in the parked
car about half hour, and it rained
so hard that we could scarcely see
through the windows.
When the rain stopped we could
hear the creek roaring angrily. The
ground was so wet that we de-
cided to leave the park. But we no
ticed as We rode down Sixteenth
street NV. that it had not rained
at all there. All the other ma
chimes on the street were dry,
while ours was dripping wet.
We went into the park again
and ate the rest of our food be-
side the ford above Pierce Mill.
1t had not rained there, and the
creek was calm.
About As minutes later We no.
ticed that the creek was rising
The water had become muddy and
the current swift. Evidently it had
taken As minutes for the stream
to carry the rain water from Sher-

4gh School Boy A. Achieves Georges
Gets Profits
On Tobacco,
Began Buying Own
Clothes When He
Was Only 9

Eward Allen is a successful farmer
at IA.
Planting his first crop of tobacco
when he was only 9. Edward has
made his farm work sufficiently
profitable to enable him to invest
nearly $500 in modern equipment
and to keep himself in about all
the clothes and spending money a
fellow could want"
And" his mother pointed out to
representative of The Junior
Star. who visited their farm at
nearby Ritchie, Md, "he still isn't
broke!"
First Crop Buys Coat.
Il started buying my own clothes
the year 1 raised my first tobacco
Edward said. The first thing I
bought was an overcoat. and my to-
bacco money paid for It,"
Edward grew his own tobacco
until three years ago: then his
father decided he was "a good
enough farmer to take into partner
ship"
"At first" Edward explained, my
father just set aside some land for
me to work on my own hook. and
he ran the rest of the farm himself.
Now, however. we're full partners
working the whole farm together"
In addition to growing tobacco
Edward raises chickens under the
auspices of the All Club. This year
he was awarded trophy for max
ing the best showing" of any young
poultry raiser in Prince Georges
| County
Raises 200 Chickens.
II had about 200 chickens" he
said. Il was lucky enough to lose
only a few and came out with
nice profit-and had a lot Of fun
besides"
The $500 went for a tractor ano
disk harrow.
The tractor cost about S400 sec
ond-hand. and the rest of the money
was for the harrow Edward ex-
planned. "Of course, 1 had to give
the tractor a good overhauling, but
it's in good shape now"
/ When school reopens in the fall
Edward will be junior at Marl-
boro High School. He has served
as reporter for the school paper
| the Argus, and he also Is interested
in Boy Scout activities and playing
the piano.
But when I grow up" he de-
clared, I'm going to be-a farmer!'

the edges between your thumb and
forefinger, lift your arm. and bring
it down rapidly. The cracker will
open with loud pop.
Here is another noisemaker, easy
to construct and fun to use. A short
piece of metal tube or hollow cur
tain rod, sealed at one end, is neces-
sary. 1t must have a tightly fitted
cork. The tube forms the barrel OF
your pistol For the handle, use any
soft wood such as the end of fruit
crate. The barrel and handle are
fastened together by passing several
strips of gummed paper from one
side Of the handle over the top OF
the barrel, and gluing to the other
side of the handle. Give the handle
coat of black paint.
Now we are ready to test our pistol.
The ammunition is different from
any other you have ever used. Fill
the barrel about half full of COM
mon baking soda. Add few drops
of vinegar and put the cork we'll into
the bottle. In a few seconds the

report. You will need to be quick
in putting in the cork after the vim
egar has been added to the soda, or
the gas that is generated will escape
A medicine dropper is fine for the
addition of the vinegar. You can
fire from 10 to is shots by adding
vinegar to the soda. BY that time
the soda will have lost its kick" and
you will have to reload. The cork
will be blown quite distance, and II
you wish, you can make q target at
which to shoot. The gun is entirely
harmless and just as much fun as a
regular firecracker.
Now get your materials and make
your firecrackers. You will have
q grand and glorious Fourth of July,
as well as q safe and sane one.

How You Can Have Safe Firecrackers for Fourth

Whether you live in the District,
where firecrackers are prohibited by
law, or in one of those nearby COM
munities in which they are per-
mitted, you should celebrate the
Fourth of July in safe and sane
manner. And the purpose of this
article is to explain how you can
have firecrackers that will provide
plenty of fun on the holiday-but
without danger.
You might start off by making
some large and small f1recrackers to
decorate the dinner table For two
large crackers" you will need
mailing tube about IL inches long.
Cut this in half so that you have
two 6-inch tubes.
Now get some red paper-maybe
you have some left over from last
Christmas. Cut piece an inch and
a half longer than the tube, and
wide enough to wrap around it at
least twice. Wrap the paper around
the tube and glue the edge. Tuck
the ends into the ends of the tube.
Glue a circle of cardboard over one
end for the bottom.
The top is not quite so simple, but
you should have no trouble with it.
Inside the open end of the tube and
about half an inch down from the
top, glue a narrow strip of thin card
board all the way around inside
Now cut circle of cardboard that
will just slip into the tube and rest
on the ledge of cardboard. Glue RED
paper over this cardboard disk.
Now with the point of the scissors,
punch a hole in the center of the
disk. Thread a piece Of string
through the hole and glue it to the
under side. Put the top in position,
and you have q nice hollow giant
firecracker to decorate your table.
Your family will enjoy these decora-

And all may sleep in peace at night;
