sheets and not a speck Of dust, and
two men take care Of them
There is a law which requires
one keeper to be on hand at all
times. This does not bother the
keepers because, although they are
set off from every one, they have
many visitors. The guestbook. in
which each visitor has recorded his

strange, but this light is merely
an Aladdin oil lamp. The reason
for its brilliance is the glass prism
in which it is placed. This prism
is made up of hundreds of different
shaped crystals, set at specific
angles and revolving about the
lamp. The price of the prism Is
well up in five figures During the
day the shades are drawn to keep
the crystals from being cracked bv

lowing manner.
The license number is taken OF
every car, truck and bus passing the
school buses at a rate of more than
5 miles an hour, the limit set by
State law. These numbers are
turned over to the county police,
who are cooperating by checking
up and warning these drivers, tell
ing them Of the impending dam
gers which they are inviting for
themselves and possibly for others.
If the drivers are caught a second
time, they probably will be fined.
To verify that vehicles were being
operated at excessive speeds, a
patrol boy or girl is seated in the
front and rear of each bus. The
two members are required to have
identical numbers before they are
turned in. This eliminates any false
charges and the numbers are kept
on file by the patrol captain.
This plan was introduced recently,
and so far it has worked well and
promises to be a success. If so,
the patrol members may save suf-
fering or even loss of life.

There are many things to do on
rainy days. but I have found that
one of the most interesting is making
bracelets. To make sea shell brace
lets is very simple. Just go to your
grocery store and ask for sea shell
macaroni, put it in water for 20
minutes and then get tack and
punch holes in the shells.
If you want your bracelet in color,
paint the shells with old finger
nail polish or water colors, let them
dry, string them on cord or elastic
and you have charming bracelet.
