Make Handy Bag
From Awning
Material

BY KATHERINE HOUIsON.
You can adapt this idea to make
. bag for your school books, gym
outfit or bathing accessories, and
all you need for 1t Is q han-yard
Of lightweight awning material.
You1l find 4 wide range Of colors
and patterns to choose from, and
this heavy stuff won't need lining.
First, cut q strip four inches wide
from one end Of the material. for
handles. Now make an inch hem
across both ends. You'll need .
coarse needle and heavy thread to
sew this awning material. Fold the
piece in hall, with the right sides
facing, and sew the two sides to-
gether almost I'D to the hem:.
Decide how long you want the
handles Of your bag and cut the
four-inch strip into two pieces
this length. Fold each piece In half
and sew the long sides Of each
strip together. Turn them right
side out and press, keeping the
seam In the center Of the under
side. Now sew these handles to
the inside Of the hem, turn 1t right
side out and your bag Is ready
to use.
You can slip two pieces Of wood
through the hem, letting them ex-
tend out about two inches beyond
the material. Braid heavy colored
cord for handles and fasten 1t to
the wood, cutting notches to keep
It from slipping OF. Add KNOBS
Of sealing wax to the ends for ad-
ditional security. Either way will
give you . good looking utility bag.

have made several and am maxi
ing more for Christmas presents,
because they cost only . dime to
make. When you buy them, they
sell for considerably more.
TO make spiced apple pomander
you take well-shaped, medium
sized raw apple. Wash the apple
thoroughly, and then, using q paper
towel or cloth, grease it all over.
Place the apple on several sheets
OF paper and push row of whole
cloves around the stem, placing
them closely together. Do this till
the apple is closely covered with a
crusty coat of cloves. Then place
the apple on paper toweling and let
the surplus juice drain on.
After several hours, when the ap-
pie is thoroughly dry, place 1t In
waxed paper and put it in a closed
box.
Glove oranges are prepared IN
much the same way. After the
orange is covered with cloves roll
1t in q mixture of two teaspoons
each of powdered cinnamon and
powdered orris root. Wrap it In It's
sue paper and after q week rub of
the excess powder and box the
orange.
These pomanders may be kept for
years with only 4 slight shrinkage.
Here is an inexpensive, easily made
and gratefully accepted sift.

Even though 1t was Navy Day the
midshipmen had to attend classes
as usual. In Bancroft Hall, one of

neat as q pin.
In the museum there are flags
from famous battleships, class rings
and pins from Is early Is 1879,
models Of various ships, swords Of

Little did I dream that our black

We sat down on log to rest. We
had no water. Shorty strayed away,
and we heard him drinking. It
turned out that he had discovered a
spring.
We traced the springs source and
found it was old and deserted, with
layers Of thick, green moss. We
drank some Of the water and 1t was
cold and sweet.
When we left the spring and went
back to the log, our blackberries

On top of q hill. q quarter mile

was an inscription revealing that 1t
was an old tombstone. About 20
feet away was the crumbling foun-
dation Of an old house. It was COW
cred with layers Of faded green moss
and clinging vines.
When We returned home that eve
ming, We told every one where ~
had been and what we had seen.
Through some Of the old residents
Of the neighborhood I learned that
the two tombstones were those Of
Levy Sheriff, for whom Sheriff road
was named, and his wife. The aged
foundation once held their home.
The tombstones had been there
about IS years. The spring, I
learned, was once the only source Of
water In the neighborhood.
