Two Kinds Of Fire.

Ancient peoples recognized
the Importance OF fire; they be-.
lieved 1t to be one of the ele-
ments from which the world
was made. They were right, in
a sense, for our world, and even
our civilization, would be i'm
possible without fire. If our
forefathers had not learned to
cook food and do other things
with fire, we probably would
still be savages. You can hardly
look around your room and see
q single thing which fire has
not touched some way in it's
making.
Yet you know, II you have
ever seen a house burn down,
that fire, when uncontrolled, is
one of the most destructive
forces on earth. Millions of
dollars and many lives are lost
each year because of it. Here
we have a contradition: a
great force that may be a won-
derful help and comfort to us,
or the cause Of great sorrow
and misery.
We all have fire in us; not
an actual burning flame, but the
fire of energy. And, like the
other kind of fire, this may be a
great force for either good or
evil. 1t is up to us. We must
control the fire in us and be
sure that it is constructive and
not destructive, good rather
than bad. THE EDITOR.

This little flower girl might be on
her way to wedding with her arms
filled with bright flowers. But she
isn't. She stands on your window
sill to mystify your friends.
Why is it that flowers held in her
wooden arms keep their freshness?
She hides her secret behind her
back-a common tumbler of water
holding the stems OF the flowers.
Make her of plywood or the "
inch wood from the side Of an apple
box. Enlarge the pattern by using
1-inch squares. This will make her
8 inches tall. large enough to hold
a fair sized bouquet of small flow
ers. If you give her peonies or
any other large flowers one will be
about all she can handle.
Cut out and sand the figure,
Paint her with quick drying enam-
els to suit your fancy. Bright COL
ors will add to her charm.
Cut an oval base of thicker wood.
The end of the apple box is fine.
Fasten the girl to the base with
long, SlenQeT WOou SCltWS oi II ule-
crate nails. A small hole bored in
advance will do away with the
danger of splitting the wood.
Set a tumbler of water on the
base back of the figure. put a
bouquet of flowers in her arms, with
the stems run through hole just
above her hands, and she is ready
to charm all beholders with her

Albert KENNEL, l8, member of
last June's graduating class at
Bethesda Chevy Chase High School,
repairs bicycles to earn money to
buy pets to sell for money to buy
War savings bonds.
That may sound complicated, but
it is really very simple.
Albert began operating bicycle

had learned to do repair work by
taking his own bike apart many
times. He loves to tinker with
bicycles.
But he loves animals, too. So,
with the money he made from his
repair shop, he bought rabbits,
guinea pigs and white mice and
rats and materials with which to
build houses for them And now,
with the money he has earned by
breeding and selling pets, he in
tends to buy bonds.
Albert obtains customers by

Coast Guard Air
Service Offers
Fine Career
BY I. r. HEGEL.

One Indian summer day the crews
of a feet of tiny vessel off the New
England coast were startled by a
giant voice that doomed down from
the skies:
Storm warning. Hurricane. Get
to your nearest port at once"
The fishermen looked up and saw
that the amplified voice was coming
from Coast Guard plane above
them. They made for port at once,
saving their lives and their vessels.
For this was the hurricane of 1928
that tore through New England
causing the death of hundreds, be-
sides millions in property loss.
In 1910, the air service of the
Coast Guard warned 259 vessels of
impending danger and helped ,466
persons. They transported l13 med
ical cases. They located rs dis
abled vessels and took IL persons
from crippled ships.
The Importance of the Coast
Guard Air Service, in war or peace,
is growing constantly. Today there
are 10 modern air stations loca ted
at Salem, New York City, Elizabeth
City, Charleston, Miami, St. Peters,
burg, Biloxi, San Diego, San Fran
cisco and Port Angeles. There is
also a Coast Guard detachment on
the Great Lakes
Candidates for the Coast Guard
Air Service have preliminary
course of training at a Coast Guard
air station before being sent to
Pensacola. Here is a career of ad-
venture, mercy and true patriotic
service for those who can qualify.

helping these men to fight the war
Money invested in bonds and
stamps helps to pay the cost of
manufacturing guns. This is very
important job because of the vast
needs for weapons in all parts of the
world. We have to help all our
Allies by providing them with the
materials they need to fight the

OF course. our war workers have
to be paid adequate wages for turn
ing out the guns. airplanes, tanks
and ammunition that we and our
allies need, And money is needed.

that go into the manufacture of
ell these things.
Ships also are being built in great
numbers and this requires vast
amount of money for materials and
labor.
Then there are powder plants.
These are important because of the
enormous quantities of shells,
bombs and torpedos used every day.
There are also ordnance plants,
where all kinds of guns are made,
from small arms to great cannon
and other field pieces.
Dimes. quarters and dollars in
vested in stamps and bonds also
help to pay the costs of training
our fighting men in the handling
of the weapons, thus making it pos
sible for these free men to safe
guard their liberty.
You ought to think over these
things every time you walk into a
post Office or bank, or any other
place where bonds and stamps are
sold. Think of the many men fight
ing every day on the far flung bat
tie fronts to protect us and our
way of life. Think of the planes,

Within a few years after he came
to the throne, King Solomon set
about building a temple which was
to contain the Ark of the Covenant.
Architects from a nearby country,
Phoenlcia, came to Jerusalem and
drew up the plans. Hundreds of
men went to the forests of Lebanon
to obtain lumber, and others went
forth to cut stone blocks from the
mountains.
For seven years. the work was
carried on. Much OF 1t was done by
skilled craftsmen from Phoenicia.
Cedar Roof.
The main part of the temple is
believed to have been about so feet
high, SO feet wide and 100 feet long.
1t appears that the walls were 9 or
10 feet thick at the base. Cedar
wood was used in building the roof.
Inside was chamber known as
the Holy OF Holes and in 1t the
Ark Of the Covenant was kept. Be-
side the Ark of the Covenant were
two large winged figures, carved
from wood and covered with gold.
Outside the room containing the
Holy Of Holes was another cham
ber with height of 80 feet and
length OF so feet. 1t contained
table with 10 golden candlesticks
standing on it.
The Temple of Solomon stood for
close to 400 years. Then it was de-
stroyed by soldiers from Babylonia,
who captured and set fire to Jeru-
salem. The ruler of the Babylo-
mans was Nebuchadnezzar. He car
ried some of the Jews into captivity.

says Stuart D. Gambler, Is of Gaines
vile, Fla.
Il bought boxes of clothespins
and tiny cans Of enamel. Then I
bound the pins together with rubber
bands in bundles of six. The heads
were dipped half way down into the
different cans of enamel and fast
ened upside down on wire line to
dry.
When the enamel got low in the
cans, / mixed the contents of two
cans together and got many inter-
estlne colors to work with. Those
pins were very easy to sell. Wouldn't

y new one was built to take Its place.
The new structure came to be
called 'the Temple Of Zerubbabel
1t also was Of large size, but 1t
did not contain the Ark OF the
Covenant, which had been lost m
the destruction of the Temple of
Solomon. We are told that there
was only one golden candlestick In
the new temple, but it contained a

For several centuries the Temple
of Zerubbabel served as the center
of worship in Jerusalem. Later, its
place was taken by the Temple of
Herod, which was built by ruler
known as Herod the Great. He
ruled under the name of the Ro-
mans, who, by that time, had spread
their empire to the eastern end of
