Victory Club Helps
u. s. Var Effort

Among the many boys and girls
throughout the country who are
taking part In the war effort
through various local clubs is Mary
Lou Evans, 10 Knight avenue, East
hampton, Mass.
The Victory Club formed by her
class in school bought $139 worth OF
War stamps in the first three
months after it was organized. The
girls have collected several hundred
pounds of newspapers and maga-
zines, and big box of metal tubes
and other metal which they turned
over to the Government.
They also conducted a food sale
and raised $40 which they contrib
uted to fund to buy ambulances
for Gen. Macarthur.
Mary Lou thinks it would be q
fine thing If other girls and boys
joined or formed Victory Clubs to
help in the war effort.

a future career in fashion designing
I design all types of clothes in my
spare time. 1t is an interesting
hobby as we'll as an educational one
I have never taken any art lessons,
but hope to do so some day.
All my information about design
ing comes from a convenient source.
I read all the articles about fashions
and designing on the woman's page.
These articles are interesting, and
get lots of good ideas from them.
When I get movie magazine, I
always notice the clothes that the
various stars are wearing. Some
times there are very good descrip-
tions of the newest style creations
in other magazines. I absorb all
this knowledge to the best of my
ability.
Usually when I sketch new fash
ions, I don't particularly like them,
but If I do, keep them in an en-
velope. I have quite collection of
designs now because I have been
saving them for several years.
especially like to design sports
clothes. My speciality is playsuits
and sports dresses. I like to design
evening gowns, too, though.
This pleasant hobby comes In
handy at times, because If I want a
new dress, I just sketch it and my
mother makes it. We hardly ever
have to buy patterns because my
mother makes her own.
have several friends who are in
terested in fashion designing and I
am sure that some of the girls who
read this article will decide to learn
something about this useful hobby.
Thus they may discover that they
have a hidden talent that should

Beavers Know How
To Get Things Done

Meet the animal who works to-
gether with his fellows very we'll, yet
always works individually. He's the
beaver, and, of course, his work ac-
tivities consist OF building homes for
himself, his family and the beavers
he works with-separately.
Although number of beavers get
together on each dam, there is no
supervision. Each animal apparently
does what he thinks best, yet there's
never any conflict. Working mostly
at night, they chew down trees
sometimes 18 inches in diameter
drag or float logs to the dam site
and carry mud, stones and branches
AS result of the independent effort
the dam is usually a tangled affair,
but it's just what the beavers need.
Naturally, the animals don't build
the dams just to exhibit their engi-
neering prowess. The log walls form
lakes around the beavers lodges,
thus giving them more room to store
food and swim about under the win
ter ice The lodges, coated with mud,
which freezes in winter as a protec-
ton against enemies, have two un-
derwater entrances. When a mink
or other swimming beaver-eater
comes in one door the beaver and
his family simply go out the other.

In the next few years he wrote his
famous books, "The Three Muske-
teers" and "The Count Of Monte
Cristo." Those stories have been
put into moving pictures which have
been seen by millions of people.
The three musketeers" were
Porthos. Aramis and Athos. They
are among the heroes of the book
but a greater hero than any of them
Is their close friend, D'Artagnan
After Dumas drew the character
of D'Artagnan, he did not want to
let him go. D'Artagnan appears
in several Of the later novels by
this French author.
'The Man in the Iron Mask" is
another of the works of Dumas
which have been turned into movies.
People have seen on the screen a
man who was forced to wear an
iron mask after being made prisoner.
Many persons have asked whether
such thing was really done to a
prisoner in France and, If 50, to
what prisoner.
To this day, the complete an
swer has not been found. We can
say that some man (name not Ger
tain was forced to wear a mask
while prisoner in France, but the
mask was Of velvet, not iron.
The event took place during the
reign of King Louis XIV. A masked
prisoner was brought to the Bastille
in 1898. Before entering that IA
nous, or Infamous, prison in Paris
the doomed man had been held cap
tive in another place.
Wearing his black velvet mask,
the prisoner was kept in the Bas-
tile until his death five years later.
The name of "Marchiali" was used
when his death was registered.
Rumors about the prisoner spread
through France. Some said he was
Of royal blood, and had held the
title of Duke of Vermandois.
Further study has brought out
knowledge of an Italian named
Count Matthioli. This count lived
in Italy. but seems to have been
bribed by Louis XIV to do some
underground work for him. Prov
ing false to his bribe, it is stated,
he was captured after being lured
across the French frontier. and was
held as secret prisoner.
Not all students believe that the
count was the masked prisoner.
Reasons have been given why sew
eral other persons may have suf-
fered the punishment. So there is
mystery about it even at the present
lime.

Starting Campfire in
Rain Is Real Test
Of Outdoor Skill

II you want to give a camper q
real test Of his knowledge Of wood
craft, put him out in the middle Of
a wet woods during a rainstorm,
hand him a match and ask him to
build fire.
This Is, indeed, a severe test Of
ones woodcraft ability, and person
who can build a fire in the rain
without the aid Of paper or other
artificial tinder has a right to be
proud of his accomplishment. Two
things are absolutely essential: you
must have some dry tinder and you
must have a little handful of dry
kindling. With these, you can get
a small hot fire started, and you
can then put on wet wood, as the
heat will dry it out very quickly.
But getting the dry tinder and
kindling is the problem. The ground
Is soaking wet, water Is streaming
down every tree trunk and dripping
from every leaf. But do not lose
heart; there is dry fuel in even the
wettest woods if you only know
where to look for it.
See if you can find some little
cave or rock ledge. Under its shell
ter, you may find handful of dry
leaves or twigs. Perhaps you can
find dry spot under a fallen tree,
or In the heart of an old dead
stump. Look under the big pine
trees to see If you can find some
dry pine needles. Cut into the dry
bark or rotten wood of a dead tree.
Look for old dry toadstools or other
fungus growths on trees.
AS you find little bits of dry
material here and there, gather
them all together in your hat.
When you have a hatful, lay a
large slab of dead bark on the
ground and place on it the leaves or
other tinder that you have found.
Carefully pile on some of the dry
twigs or other kindling.
If it is raining hard, you will
have to hold your raincoat or
blanket over this little pile Of
until it is well ablaze. It
will then Withstand a great deal
Of rain without being quenched,
and you can put on wet twigs or
without fear of smothering
he blaze.

Bench and Several Common Household
Tools Are Only Essential Equipment
Small Lathe Can Be
Bought at Slight
Cost, Boy Says
Prize Contribution
BY CHARLES DECHERT, Is,

Paul Junior High school.
There is in each one of us desire
to do constructive work. This de-
sire often eliminates in the estab-
lishment of workshop.
For the average boy, however, a
workshop is something remote, not
only because of finances, but be-
cause of sometimes misplaced fear
on the part of parents. The home
workshop need not remain a dream,
however; it can be given reality, as
I have proved to myself during the
last three years.
The essential equipment is few
hand tools and bench. The average
home usually has a hammer, few
chiSels, pair of pliers, a screw
driver and saw. These are the
only tools necessary for beginning
in the fascinating hobby Of home
craftwork.
Beginners Bench.
The second requisite is the work
bench, which, for maximum enjoy
ment, should be constructed by its
owner. The beginners bench should
be from to 6 feet in length and
about 30 inches in height. There are
many plans to be had for construct
ing benches. A simple plan should
be chosen by the beginner. I have
found that sturdy bench may be
built for about 50.
Next, we must decide upon the
additional hand tools desired. The
choice will depend largely on the
individuals craft hobby. Among the
various forms of craftwork are
model making, cabinet work, nno-
leum block cutting, leather and
metal work. A list of basic tool
needs for any one of these hobbies
may be found in any recognized craft
manual.
Power Tools.
Those interested in woodworking
will soon desire to increase their
speed and efficiency by adding power
tools.
In my opinion, the most versatile
machine in the woodshop is the
lathe. With proper attachments, it
can be used in any number of ca
pacities. 1t is designed primarily for
turning pieces Of wood into round
forms by revolving them between
two centers while the operator,
using chises. does the shaping.
Candlesticks and rounded chair legs
are examples of this work.
A lathe for use by the younger
home craftsman may be of either
cast iron or sheet steel. The former
type is preferable if heavy work is
to be done, but the other type should
fit the needs of the average boy
craftsman, and the price is usually
much lower. A satisfactory steel
lathe may be purchased for less
than $6.
Wood Turning.
The requirements for wood turn
ing will be face plate, a three
quarter Inch gouge, haf-inch skew
and cutoff tool
The lathe. with proper attach
ments, may be used as drill press,
sander, grinder. polishing head and
circular saw A threaded arbor is
the only piece necessary in making
these changes.
If a small jig saw is used in addi-
ton to the lathe, almost any project
is put into the range OF the boy
mechanic.
A one-quarter- horsepower electric
motor is sufficient for all ordinary
work in the small shop and may be
obtained secondhand for about "a.
The entire shop described in this
article should not cost more than
$50. An ambitious boy should be
able to assemble a complete shop in
a years time, if he is willing to de-
vote his energy to obtaining equip
ment.

Learn to Identity
Poison 10y, Avoid
Vacation Hayard

One of the most painful expert
ences that any vacationist is likely
to encounter is ivy poisoning. Every
camper should learn to recognize
poison ivy. 1t closely resembles
other ivy, but it may be distln-
euished by the fact that its leaves
grow in groups of three on a stem,
while most varieties of ivy have
five leaves in group.
Ivy poisoning is caused by vola-
tile oil which is given off from the
leaves of the plant. Some persons
ere so sensitive to this poison that
it irritates their skin just to be near
the plant, without even touching the
leaves. You can identify ivy poison
ing by a burning and itching irrita-
ton which will begin to be felt
within a few hours after you have
come in contact with the plant.
Small white swellings appear on the
affected skin, and the itching be-
comes severe. If not promptly
treated, ivy poisoning may cause
considerable pain, and may last for
several days or week.
The different remedies which are
recommended all have the one pur-
pose Of removing and counteracting
the poison oil. The sooner this is
done, the better: after the poison
has once taken hold in the skin,
relief is difficult.
If symptoms of ivy poisoning ap-
pear after you have taken a ramble
in the woods, or even if you suspect
that you may have come in contact
with the ivy, wash your skin thor
oughly with soap and warm water.
An application of rubbing alcohol
will also help remove the poison oil.
Common baking soda will prove val
liable for counteracting the poison.
Battle the affected parts in a solu-
ton of baking soda and water, and
then sprinkle the dry soda on lib
orally.
Another excellent remedy is zinc
oxide salve, which is very soothing.
If you don't happen to have any
of the above remedies handy, bathe
the poisoned area well with kero-
sene, which will dissolve and re-
move the poison. Do not bind on a
cloth saturated with kerosene, how
ever, as it will blister your skin;
lust let the kerosene evaporate
freely.
Prevention, of course, is better
than cure. If you happen to be
camping in territory where poison
ivy is plentiful try this preventive:
Dissolve two tablespoonsful of bak-
ing soda In a quart of water. Before
starting out in the morning bathe
your face, arms and hands with this
solution, and dry it of just lightly
with a towel. The residue of soda
left on your skin will make you
practically immune to the poison
for the rest of the day.

Flower Seeds Earn
Money for Boy

Twelve-year-old Ray Gunia of
Kansas City took advantage of the
arrival of the gardening season to
make money for himself.
With becoming modesty. Ray ex-
plains that his method of bringing
in extra money is very simple" ~
"All I did," he writes, was to get
old magazines" From them he
found out about seed companies
that offered premiums or cash to
boys and girls who would sell seed
packages for them.
Ray sent for the seeds and sold
them for 10 cents a package; but
that was only the beginning. He
bought some of the seeds himself
and planted them in his yard. When
the flowers grew up and came into
bloom, Ray proceeded to sell them
to the people in his neighborhood.
