Girls Run Flower
Shop in Garage

Earning money by running a
flower shop and donating it all to
Bundles for Bluej jackets is Elizabeth
M. Suffers way of helping to win
the war. Elizabeth lives at 1888
Riverside drive, Columbus, Ind.
The flower shop is run by Eliza
beth and a friend in her garage,
and is called the Riverside Flower
Shop. The girls raise part Of the
flowers themselves and get the
others from the woods near their
homes. They make up bouquets
which sell for 25 cents and corsages
which sell for 10 cents. Among the
flowers they use are violets, pansies,
painted daisies, columbine and vio-
las. Last year they also sold rock
garden plants.
They made and contributed SIS
to Bundles for Bluejackets last year,
and hope to do even better this year.

sold them for $40. which went into

Every Saturday morning. Gerald's
Job is to call on half-dozen neigh
bors for newspapers and magazines.
A store in the vicinity of his home
donates cardboard. These items are
taken to the Cooper basement where
they are securely tied up in bundles
of IS or 40 pounds When Gerald
has enough bundles to fill his
fathers automobile, he takes them
to a junk dealer and returns home
three or four dollars richer. In this
way, he has been able to buy an
other $18.75 bond. and has good
start toward a third one.
The demand for paper sagged dur
ing May. People became SO con-
scious Of the necessity of saving
waste paper that, for the present,
there is surplus. Meanwhile,
Gerald mows lawns in his neighbor-
hood so he can continue buying War
stamps while he still salvages for
the future. He believes that more
paper will be wanted soon, and the
demand won't catch him unpre-
pared.
Being clarinet player Gerald
naturally enjoys music, and for a
time, he collected the latest records.
Now he has altered the situation
and collects bonds instead.
However, he goes to see the popu-
lar band leaders when they're in
town, and he listens to their music
over the radio. It's cheaper than
buying records and leaves money
for stamps. Glenn Miller is Gerald 5

Small cuts should be allowed to

wound acts as its own disinfectant.
That is, if the wound is not dirty

washed and disinfected with iodine
A word of Warning-do not bandage
a cut that has been treated with
iodine. 1t will burn the skin.
Removing Splinter.
Slivers and splinters have a habit
of being on almost every piece Of
wood we handle Deep ones that
cannot be reached with the tWeezers
usually can be removed this way:
Fill a wide -mouthed bottle three
quarters full of hot water. Hold
the mouth of the bottle against the
place where the splinter is lodged.
In a few minutes it will work out.
When a bandage is necessary, it
should be of clean, soft, white cloth.
Wrap around the wound, then
fasten with adhesive tape. Avoid
wrapping tape completely around
the leg or arm. for it is likely to
cut off circulation, slowing up the
healing process.
Burns are painful, and serious
ones should have competent medi-
cal attention, as should all other
injuries of more serious types.
Often, slight burns are just as
annoying as deeper ones. TO lessen
the pain. plunge the affected part
in cold water, then apply lard or
butter literally.
Another method is soda poul-
tice. Mix common baking soda with
vinegar to make paste, Cover the
burn with the paste, then bandage
It, The pain will be greatly re-
lieved
Other Precautions.

but 1t took the whole day to clear
away the thick brush. In the middle
OF the clearing we made . place
for our campfire, and around the
edge we laid logs on which to sit.
We also made shelves in the trees
out OF logs and woven vines.
Next day the leader divided US
into patrols of about seven girls
each. AS far as she could, she put
each girl with her friends and with
girls of her own age. The patrols
then separated, each to look for
patrol camp site. Our patrol found
a fine place, not too far from the
main camp After we had cleared
it, we chopped logs to surround the
clearing, dug fire pit and put a
crane over it. 1t took us two days
to finish this work
The camp is about ga miles from
my home. MY friends and usually
went back and forth on our bicycles.
but sometimes we walked We
started about o'clock in the morn

pm. We did not 60 on Saturdays
| or Sundays. We had many cook
outs" when we cooked our lunches
over the campfire. We carried the
| food from home.
When we did not cook out We
would take sandwiches from home.
We also cooked our suppers twice
when We slept at the camp. On
those days we took our bedding rolls
and each pat 81 slept around its own
campfire. We all enjoyed these
"overnights," as we called them, very
much. There was nothing to be
afraid of because the patrols were
not very far apart, and, besides,
| several of the girls brought dogs
every day and they acted as watch
dogs for us at night.
Sometimes we had drill in fieht.
ing forest fires with bucket brigades.
We also had group singing, nature
walks and various other activities.

every day. I am very glad went

SPORTSMANSHIP.

Nothing else brings out quail
ties of good sportsmanship in
boy or girl as do athletic
games. If you are poor loser,
you can't conceal it very long
on the basket ball floor. the
baseball diamond or the tennis
court.
You've heard sportsmanship
praised again and again, but
you'll never realize how i'm
portant it is until you meet
some one who is a poor sport.
He can't take a beating with
out grumbling. He never gives
his opponent credit for good
playing but says it is just
luck. He is always whining
about conditions under which
ne plays. Nothing ever suits
him. He is a chronic kicker.
Altogether, he's just about as
unattractive and contemplate
a person as you'll meet any
where.
We all like to win, but none
Of us can always be victorious.
Play the game for the love
of it, and don't put so much
stress on the score. Be good
loser, even If you can't be a
good player. Bad sportsman
ship is the greatest sin in the
athletic world.

Chartes Dechert that | write.
To the boy or girl seeking a knowl-
edge of chemical technique and the
pleasure of constructive work in this
field, nothing is more satisfying than
home laboratory. In this article I
shall try to give few pointers which
have been helpful to me in estab-
fishing my laboratory.
A bench on which to work is of
course, essential. This bench may
be an old kitchen table. but for best
results it should be built especially
for the purpose, designed for maxi
mum working and storage space.
Glass Equipment.
A number of pieces of glass equip
ment are necessary for general
analysis and synthesis. A nest of
beakers in sizes ranging from 100 to
400 centiliters is desirable. Several
TASKS in a round, so-called Flor
ence" form are necessary. preferably
in 100, $50 and 500 centiliters. Glass
tubing also. is necessary, the 6-milli-
meter flint type being most COM
monty used Other necessities are
stirring rods, cork shoppers and test
tubes. I have found that 6-inch
tubes three-fourths of an inch in
diameter are most useful Three
dozen should suffice for six months
work.
If your laboratory is to be well
equipped, it should also contain a
tripod stand and burner. If pos
sible, Bunsen burner should be
used, for this is the most useful
heat-producer you can find. If nee
eSsary, however, an alcohol burner
can be used for most work
Eventually, 1t is wise for the anna
teur chemist to add distilling ap-
paratus, an automatic evaporator
and what is known as a pneumatic
trough, used for collecting gases.
List Of chemicals.
Chemicals are divided into four
general grades-commercial, techni-
cal. USP and re-agent. Most home
laboratory work is done with tech
nical and USP grades. Here are
some of the most practical chemi-
calls for ordinary use:
Ammonium chloride, ammonium
hydroXide thousehold ammonia)
barium chloride, calcium carbonate
tmarble), calcium oxide 0ime)
cobalt chloride, cupric chloride, fer
ric chloride, ferrous sulphate, fer
rous sulphide, hydrochloric acid
lead acetate, magnesium sulphate
Epson salt, manganese dioXide
nitric acid, phenolthalein Il per
cent alcoholic solution. potassium

nitrate, sodium carbonate washing

childhood 1t is not simple to learn
the rules of new game in a hurry.
Most persons on this continent
would find the game of cricket as
strange as the English find base
ball. Cricket is popular in some
parts of Canada and is played in a
few places in the United States, but
the great majority of people in
North America know little about it
except the name.
The rather odd name Cricket"
came from the French language. It's
early meaning seems to have been
bowling pin" or stick"
The history of the game goes back
to the Middle Ages. Probably it was
played in England as long ago as
600 years, but the old rules we're
very different from those of today.
At first, the ball was "bowled" along
the ground, and it seems that the
object was to make it roll into hole
in the ground Later, an upright
stick was used as an object to strike
with the ball.
Pitcner Is Bowler"
At present. there are three up
right sticks which compose wick
et," and on the top of each wicket
are two small objects called balls"
Two wickets are set UP % yards
apart.
Standing beside one wicket is the
man who hurls the ball He may
be compared to the pitcher in a
baseball game, but he is called the
bowler" and must keep his arm
straight when he sends the ball to-
ward the opposite wicket.
The object of the bowler is to
strike the wicket with the ball, and
to knock of the balls, in which case
the batsman will be out. He may,
ii he likes, bowl the ball so it strikes
the ground and bounces before hit
ting the wicket.
The batsman is like the batter in
baseball, but makes runs in some
what different manner. With an
almost fiat bat, he strikes at the
ball, which is about the size of a
tennis ball. The cricket ball is solid
and hard.
The batsman does his best ia
keep the ball from striking the
wicket. He must use the bat for this,
however, and must not put his legs
in the way of the ball If his legs
are hit by pitched ball, he is out
provided the umpire thinks the ball
would have struck the wicket.
There are II players on each
cricket team. They have such names
as short Slip" long leg" cover
point "wicketkeeper" and third
man." The wicketkeeper may be
compared to baseball catcher-he
wears pair of gloves, not Just one
The object of batsman is to get
runs, and he can keep on getting
them provided he is not put out. He
tries to knock the ball where it can.
not be caught by player on the
other side.
II the ball is caught on the fly
the batsman is out. the same as ir
baseball. There are several othe]
ways In which he can be out-one
OF these is by breaking the wicket
with his bat!
A game Of cricket may be finished
in a single day. or it may 90 on fo
two or three days. If the batsmer
are clever, they may stay at bat &
long time, and may make a grea
number Of runs. Sometimes a playe
makes more than 100 runs in j..
game!
