Schools Are Open
| On SATURDAYS in
| Charles County
BY AGNES ELDER, Is,
Sacred Heart School.
Bel Alton, Md.

I suppose every one of us has at
some time or another exclaimed,
''Oh, gosh, why do we have to go
to school five days a week?" Well,
the students of the parochial and
public schools of Charles County,
Md. go to school on Saturday as
we'll as on the other five days.
Everything seems to be the same
as any other day except the pupils
are dismissed an hour or so earlier.
BY having classes six days a week
the schools will be able to close
about the middle of May.
The idea of this is to allow the
parents of boys and girls who live on
farms to have extra help for the
planting Of crops. In this way, the
farms will provide the Government
with more and better produce.
All students have accepted this
plan joyfully, because they know
what 1t means to our country to
help win this war.

Ants in the sugar or flies and
beetles crawling over your camp
food supplies and dishes mean
wasted food and sometimes SICK
ness. You can easily avoid these
dangers by making a simple safe
for camp food.
Some foods are still shipped IN
wooden cases, but not very many.
So ask your grocer now to save you
several wooden boxes. You should
find it easy to install as many
shelves as are needed. These can
be made from scrap boards.
Hang your safe to a "gallows"
made by setting a strong cross
piece In the crotches Of two sup
porting sticks driven into the
ground. Have the supporting sticks
long enough to hold the box bottom
about 8 feet above the ground.
This will put it beyond the reach
Of proving dogs and small wild
animals.

critical step of making the unipoo.
Incidentally, if the recommended
size of bolt does not f1t, get oy
experiment the one which does.
Now place the nut in the cross
bore and screw the stove bolt into
it through the longitudinal bore.
When the bolt is secure in the nut,
estimate the length necessary to &C
commodate another nut on the out
side, plus the number Of thread
turns needed for the camera BUSH
ing, and cut of the head OF the
bolt at the proper point with a hack
saw.
Run the second nut down snug
on the outside, file the end OF the
bolt smooth and test in the camera
bushtng. Unless it Is exactly right
to hold the camera firmly, make
any necessary adjustment between
the two nuts.
When you have the fit exactly
right, finish by plugging the large
hole in the side Of the stick with a
trimmed cork, add a leather thong
for carrying If desired, and sharpen
the lower end of the stick. Keep
the exposed metal lightly oiled or
waxed to prevent rusting, and make
leather cap to cover 1t If you
desire.
This device will work beautifully

Safe Spot for Camp Food

The best way to fasten the ropes

A coat of ordinary white chalk
rubbed heavily on the part Of the
rope between cross-piece and box
top will keep ants from crawling
down to the box. Circles Of chalk
around the supporting sticks make
the barrier against ants doubly
strong.
Cover the open front of the safe"
with a piece of mosquito netting
fastened on with thumb tacks. The

Boy Earns Money
With Tomahawks

Making and selling tomahawks is
the money-making idea developed
by Jack Phillips. and he tells all
about it in the following letter:
Il take a stick about inches long
and cut both ends to sharp point.
Then / trim a spot In the middle
to about one-half inch thick by
cutting away evenly on beth sides.
take a stick about Is inches long
and cut a slot in it about inches
deep and half an inch thick. Then
I fit the small stick into the slot in
the larger one and tie them together
with colored string or ribbon. They
make nice toy tomahawks and sell
for 40 cents apiece"
The tomahawk idea struck Jack
about two years ago, and he has
been following it ever since. His
address is Box 249, Route 6, Garden
road, Memphis Tenn.

that the professionals won't try to

TO make a business of snapshooting
by carrying about a tripod at all
times. there are still several ways to
take the fuzz out OF your pictures.
Here is one good one.
You can make yourself a combi-

trouble. Every time you stop to
take q photograph you attach the
camera and thrust the stick into
the ground, quick as wink. Then
there is no vibration when you re-
lease the shutter. and your pictures
are clear and snappy.
Start with an old broomstick or
something more ornamental, just as
YOU like, and cut the thick end of

stick in a wise.

repairing them. Soon she was able
TO change and repair tire alone.
Next, Mary began to learn about
the more complex parts of the auto
mobile. This knowledge also turned
out to be valuable, as Mary ex-
planned:
"Once when we were travelling
over the Cumberland Mountains,
our car stopped and refused to start
again. Daddy got out and tinkered
with 1t and a mechanic labored
over it. both working in vain. Then
they called on me and was able
10 take the troublesome article out
of the motor, to the relief OF every
one concerned"
At present Mary gives the auto
mobile q once-over every week. In
testing 1t she performs any such
necessary duties as working on the
horn. the heater OF the fog-hght;
checking the oil, greasing the
valves, changing the tires, fixing
the battery. putting in water and
shining the car.
Around the house Mary fixes
watches, light sockets, lamps, elec-
trio fixtures of all kinds, ultra
violet ray machines and radios.
When Mary was very young, in
stead of playing with dolls as most
little girls do, she played with
steam shoveis and built model air.

In mechanics she developed an early

In wears gone by, 1t was Gus
tom to call an airplane fitted with
a boat" a "hydroplane," meaning
"vaterplane." That name, how
ever. has gone out OF use almost
entirely. Today, we speak of sea-
planes" or now and then of flying
boats"
An early man-carrying power
driven airplane was launched over
water. The machine was invented
by DR.. Samuel p. Langley, and was
tested over the Potomac River in
November, 1908. This was a month
before the pioneer flights Of Wilbur
and Orville Wright, who did not az
first tell the public about their work.
DR.. Langley did not try to keep
his tests secret Seven years be-
fore, he had made a smaller power
driven plane; 1t had flown with
success, but did not carry q man.
On Right Track.
The 1903 test was failure. The
machine fell into the river. The
pilot got wet, but was not injured.
The inventor lived TO hear his air.
plane called 'Langley's Folly"
Yet it was not real folly. In 1914,
the great aviator, Glenn Curtiss,
placed q better motor in Langley's
machine and flew 1t over water near
Hammondsport, N. Y. The flight
was successful, and proved that
Langley had been on the right track.
Sad to say, the great scientist had
died eight years before.
The Langley airplane which Mr..
Curtiss flew was fitted with pom
toons, as well as with a new motor.
The pontoons made 1t possible for
the machine to rise from the water
and to land on the water.
Mr.. Curtiss ranks as a pioneer
in the making of seaplanes. He
was first in the world TO rise from
the water and land thereon at will"
He did that near San Diego, Oalif.,
in January, 1911. Several months
before, a Frenchman named Fabre
had risen from the water, but had
not been able to land on 1t.
Successful Flight.
Early seaplanes were fitted with
pontoons, but the idea came, why
not provide boat under the wings
instead of pontoons?" The idea was
tested, and 1t proved good.
In 1914, an oficer In the British
Navy came near to trying the first
seaplane trip across the Atlantic.
He was 1t. John Porte, and a sea-
plane called the America was built
for him by Curtiss. 1t was a neat
looking biplane with boat below.
Possibly, 1t. Porte would have won
fame and fortune. but the World
War broke out, and the plan was
given up.
The year 1918 saw the first sue
cessful airplane fight across the At
lantic. 1t took place in Navy
Curtiss seaplane under command of
1t. Comdr. Albert c. Read. Stops
were made along the way from New
foundIand TO Portugal.
