For an unusual necklace, cut the
tops from empty spools and enamel
them in bright colors. (Save the
centers for another idea.) Make
hole through the middle of dried
seeds a little larger than the hole in
the spool top and enamel these in
black or white. Thread needle
with raffla or something else strong
and bring it UP through the hole in
the top. through the seed and down
through the top again. The number
of tops will depend on the length
you want the necklace to be. Add a
regular clasp to fasten it.
Or you can enamel the tops in
black or white and add a bright
colored Scottie or elephant button or
small gold bells instead of seeds.
Now let's use the centers to make
clever buttons for your sport clothes.
Cut them the length you prefer, then
give them coat of wood stain and
add a design with colored enamels.
Or enamel the centers white and
add a black design. Sew these in

Red Cross Benefits
From Enterprise

Nearly every one gets fun out OF
having his fortune told" even
though he realizes the person doing
the telling" knows less about his
future than he does. And knowledge
OF this fact enabled Robert A. Plan
key, 13, of Springfield, Mass, to earn
money for Uncle Sam.
Five or six of us children in the
neighborhood earned money by
telling fortunes at l cent a telling, !"
Robert writes. "In this way We ac-
quired AZ cents. Then We built a
Victory stand and, with this money,
bought the ingredients for a choco-
late milk drink. We sold that, and
also a grape drink, for 2 and S cents
a glass.
I'VE made "a cents in this busi-
ness" Robert concludes, land we
sent it to the Junior Red Cross in

which thickens in winter and thins
out in summer.
Watches sometimes become mag
netized when too close to dynamos
or X-ray machines. This is much
more easily corrected than most
people suppose. You need merely
expose the watch to the same mag
netic field again, and twirl 1t around
and around as you slowly retreat
from the field.
Change of altitude doesn't mean
anything to a watch, but how fast
the altitude changes does. Expert
ments have shown that a smooth
descent of 10000 feet won't affect a
good watch a bit, but rapid drop
of single foot, as when you bang
on q table to bring home point OF
argument, will throw it out of kilter,
and even break the balance staff.
Winding Won't Break It.
Nor can you injure a watch by
turning the hands backward. Only
a striking clock can be affected in
this way. Laboratory tests have
also proved that no one has enough
animal magnetism to disturb the
workings. Nor can you wind a
watch so tightly that it will break
the spring. The strongest man in the
world couldn't break the handspring
Of a decent watch by winding it.
While muscle won't break the
handspring, lightning might. Elec-
trical storms charge the atmosphere
and affect tiny sulphus carbon flaws
IN the metal, resulting in jams or
breaks. And If the temperature
drops downward very suddenly that
too can kill q handspring.
Most good watches will .outlive
their owners. A 21-jewel instru-
ment, cleaned and fabricated every
two years, should last 200 years.
The history of watches and watch
making is loaded with romance and
adventure. Authorities differ widely
as to the early origin of clocks and
watches. Some assign the invention
to a 10th century Pope, others be-
lieve the first such instruments were
perfected by the Arabs, who got the
idea from much earlier Egyptian
device. Still others believe different
Europeans invented clocks between
the 9Th and 10th centuries.
First Watches in Germany.
At any rate, the first portable
timepieces, watches, were probably
the Nuremburg eggs, made toward
the end OF the 18th century in Ger
many. These were so large that they
had to be worn suspended about the
girdle. At first only government
officials and sergeants of the guard
wore them.
There have been all kinds OF
watches since then. It is said that
King Henry Nv of England (1399-
1413-an early date for a watch
had one built right into one of his
ceremonial suits of armor and its
diameter was II inches. Beau
Brummel, famous English dandy o1
the 18th century, owned one of the
first wrist watches. It was secured
to silver bracelet 2 inches wide,
1t Is said that Shakespeare wrote
| with timepiece before him at al
times. The ticking sound, he claim
ed, inspired him and made him work
faster and pay his debt sooner. Vier.

A young Scotch sergeant Of the
Raj sent me a huge linen hand
kerchief which is centered with a
fighting pose of Bailie Nicol Jaryie,
after whom the famous hostelry at
Aberfoyle. Scotland, is named.
My uncle's Chinese college mate,
not heard from since early in the

handmade handkerchief from his
native country.

doubt felt much excited; they were
going to the palace Of the King!
King George II waited on his
throne as Tom-o-chi-chi approached.
The chief held aloft several white
feathers.
"These feathers" he said, "are
from an eagle. It Is the swiftest
bird which flies over our country.
We bring them here as q sign Of
peace. Great King, II you will speak
to me, will tell your words to all
the Greek Indians"
King Greeted Indians.
The King replied that he was glad
to see his visitors and would be glad
to show them favors to prove his
friendship.
The Indians remained in England
four months. At one time they
visited schoolroom. At the close Of
their visit Tom said:
Il hope you will soon give the boys
a holiday"
Those words led the pupils to break
into loud 'hurrahs."
The King provided, coaches for the
Indians to be taken to . seaport.
Among the presents they carried
away was 4 watch given by I prince
to the son of q chief. The voyage
back to America was pleasant. The
Indians arrived home with high
ideas Of the British power, but they
were glad to be back IN their native
land. ~
The Savannah settlement grew.
From q tiny village, It became. In
five years, . town with several
hundred residents. Besides further
English settlers, there arrived =
small boat containing people Of
Jewish blood, and . few Of the set-
tiers asked whether they should be
welcomed. Oglethorpe replied,
"They shall have the right to settle
here, the same Is you"
The colony had reason to be
grateful for his decision. The Jews
proved to he good citisens and
helped things run smoothly. When
wave Of illness swept over the
colony, q Jewish doctor did fine
service among the families Ct the
settlers.
Germans and Scets Arrived.
During the first five years there
also arrived boatloads Of people
from Germany and Scotland. Some
Of these settled In Savannah. 9th
ers built homes for themselves In
villages which were springing up In
other parts Of 0eorgia.
The most famous man who came
to Savannah was probably John
Wesley, who is looked upon as tho
founder Of the Methodist church.
At that time, however, he was just
a young minister without fame.
One of Wesley's main purposes
was to convert the Indians. From
time to time, he visited among
them, to make them Christians, but
his success was slight. Before long
he returned to England.

number Of white settlers. It re-
manned colony until the time Of

they used to make gives us an idea
of just how good are the instru-
ments they are now making. Not
all the Watchmakers, though, are
making bomhsights: many are still
doing business at the old stand
For in these days of fast-moving
troops and equipment, the timepiece
is of greater Importance than ever
before to soldiers.
During World War I the lack of
$4,000 wrist watches for Russia's
officers was, according to some mill
tary authorities, in part responsible
for Russia's overwhelming defeat
by the Germans. The Italians, too,
lost several vital engagements to the
Austrians because their unit leaders,
lacking watches, failed to properly
time their movements.
Our Soldiers Have Best.
This problem will never confront
American military men. We have
all the watches we need, and the
best, even though popular misguid-
ed opinion thinks of certain Euro
pean nations as our superiors.
But even the best watch in the
world does not keep absolutely per-
feet time. Railroad watches. gen.

will deviate as much as an eight
eenth OF second daily.
The wearer frequently influences
q watch's behavior. Watches run
best for quiet persons because every
time one makes a rapid movement,
the instruments position in relation
to the earth's core is changed and
gravity affects the gears and bear
ings differently. Watches detest
jitterbugs, tank troops and table
banging politicians.
Weather often affects a watch. It
keeps different time in summer than
in winter and indoors than out.
Many watches lose about 10 Sec
onds when the temperature drops
to zero. If it gets very hot the
watch will reverse this process and
gain 10 seconds day.
Cold Affects Oil.
Lots of folks think these changes
are due to expansion and contrac-
tion Of the metal parts affected by
heat and cold. Actually, it's the

Caribbean, near the coast of Amer
lea, on October IL, 1892. But it was
not until his fourth and last voyage,
In 1902, that he finally landed on
the mainland of the Americas and
of Honduras. Nearing the coast of
Honduras, he cried Thanks be to
God that we have found depths!"
And thus he gave the country its
name, for depths" is the English
meaning of honduras.
The history of this nation is bril-

America, Jose Cecilio del Vale, who
wrote the Central American decla-
ration Of independence. On Sep
tember Is, 1921, he saw his native
land. along with the other provinces
OF Central America, liberated from
the yoke Of Spain and become an
independent republic. From the mo-
ment OF this liberation, his thoughts
turned to the nations of the New
World. He might well be known as
the originator of "pan-American-
ism, for he wrote themes which to-
day are being carried out by the q
good neighbors of this hemisphere,
Streets of Silver.
Until Honduras was liberated in
the time Of Jose Cecilio del Vale.
the Spanish conquerers continued
Their search for gold, for which 50
many OF them gave up their lives.
Hans Anderson could well have
written many true tales of princes
and princesses had there been any in
Honduras, during the country's CO.
lonial era, tor it Is known that the
precious metal was so common that
ranchers used it to shoe horses and
silver was used to pave streets!
The wealth Of Honduras has not
been in gold, but in bananas, of
which she exports more than any
other country in the world. Today
large quantities of bananas are
thrown into the sea because there
are not enough ships to take the en-
tire crop to the United States and

them away to their homes. This only
happens once year, and no one is
