the like. For a necklace, make a
chain stitch of cotton and tie doll
to each end of it. Tie cord under
your collar with chainstitch bow,
letting the dolls hang free.
To make these dolls, wind cotton
of any color 20 times around card
board 3 inches high, beginning at
the bottom. Now, with a thread of
contrasting color, tie the cotton at
the top and cut across the bottom as
shown in A in the accompanying
sketch. About three-fourths of an
inch down, tie the cotton again to
form the head (see b. Use four
strands of thread for each arm; tie
the strands together at the end and
cut off as in C. Tie the yarn again
one and one-fourth inches down
from the top for the girls waist.
Leave her skirt loose at the bottom.
The boys waist should be tied about
one-fourth of an inch lower than
that of the girl doll. For the boy,
divide the loose strands below the
waist in half and tie each one about
one-half inch from the bottom for
his legs. Make eyes. nose and

For a clown, cut felt circles, as

Three Courses of
Training Are Open
To Navy Recruits
BY /. r. HEGEL.

Dick Hainez of Columbus, Ohio,
wants to know what special training
courses are available in the Navy,
Navy instruction falls into three
types of schools that are called
class A, class B and class c.
Glass A schools are land schools
having short courses in five SUBJECTS
for the new recruit. The men are
selected according to special aptl-
tude tests and the experience they
have had prior to enlistment.
Glass B schools also are land
schools, the courses being available
to men on active duty. Fourteen
subjects are registered under class
3 and the instruction is more ad-
vanced and the courses longer than
in the class A schools.
Glass c schools are conducted on
board ship or in land training cen
ters. They are specialized CORE
spondence courses in 27 subjects.
Of course, it must be understood
that the Navy recruit must have a
certain aptitude for the subject nj
chooses and really want to take 1t
Outside of that there are no SCI
requirements. A passing mark II
arithmetic is desirable, as is a gooe
reading and speaking knowledge OF
English.
Have a talk with the recruiting
officer before signing the required
papers for enlistment. There ART
branches in which special skills car
be used. Special ratings are giver

Capt. Charles Even Parsons
thought the students would benefit
by the volumes. He was certainly
correct, for there is wealth OF
information between their covers.
The naval officer autographed them
on November Is.
The library has a proud appear

since the beginning of the school
year. Money was raised through a
school dance to purchase recent

and the money received was turned
over to the library With this fund,
the recently published books were
purchased.
