ly, after many years of successful
fox hunting, this terrier was desig-

The smooth fox terrier, the we'll
known black and tan, is believed to
be descended from ancestors which
won fame as rat exterminators. To-
day. the smooth is a refined, highly
organized dog, considered by many
as the aristocrat of the terrier fam

breeders Of long ago. the exact op-
posite in outline of the fox.
A smooth fox terrier will weigh
about 18 pounds. Most of this is in
quisitiveness, and the joy OF being
called upon as a partner in some
thing exciting. He possess a lively
disposition; If he has sad or sullen
moments he hides them we'll.

herself if she came outside. After
stepping out, the goddess saw her
own image when a large bronze
mirror was held before her.
The glass mirror seems to have
been invented during, or about, the
year 1900, in Venice, Italy. This in
vention must have excited the fair
ladies Of Europe, who thus were
given new means of looking at
themselves.
For long time no one in Eng
land learned the art of making
looking glasses. Yet some English
women obtained the new type OF
mirror through trade with the
French.
Until about a century ago. the
common way Of making a large
looking glass was as follows:
A plate Of glass was laid on
solid stone table, and the glass
was polished Then tinfoil was laid
down carefully on one side of the
glass. Over the tinfoil, quicksilver
was poured. Alter tOuchlng the TIN
foil, the quicksilver united with it
and become solid.
A new and better way Of max
ing looking glasses was worked out
after the year $780, A sheet of glass
was 'silvered' with a liquid which
contained a silver salt, tartaric acid
and sugar candy.
At this time most looking glasses
are silvered. The silvery coat is
placed on what we call the back
of the mirror
If you would like TO amuse your
self, you might try to make picture
or design with a mirror in front Of
you. Watching your pencil and
paper only in the mirror, you may
find it hard TO draw your lines as
YOU want them.

the dog most IDEAL for the work.
Today, he is ably trained to find and
capture the fox. His hard coat pre-
sents no obstacle to entering tight
quarters. A mighty shake usually
frees 1t from dirt and dust. Strong
shoulders enable the terrier to press
forward, and sturdy front feet clear
away debris.
Authorities agree that the smooth
fox terrier knows exactly when to
follow "hunch." What greater
gift could one desire in a dog?

Pup Tent Can Be
Made Roomier if
You Add Boards
By Walt MESSENGER.

1t is possible to enjoy summer
camping when you have only reg
ulation Army pup tent to start with.
This can be utilized as the roof un-
der which you sleep, yet by use Of
a little lumber and work, you will
no longer need to crawl into it on
your hands and knees.
Two methods are available. If you
can find some old boards and stakes,
the tent can be suspended between
two trees at the height desired.
Then the stakes are driven into the
ground and the boards nailed to
the stakes. This takes care of the
sides and the back of the tent.
In order to keep the rain from
driving through, the boards can be
nailed on, overlapped the same way
that siding is overlapped on house.
But even If this is not done, very
little rain will go through unless
there Is driving rainstorm.
The second method can be used II
you are camping too far away from
civilization to find lumber. Stakes
are driven as before, but instead Of
boards long poles are fastened to
the stakes. Evergreen boughs are
then woven and hung from the
poles, with the bushy ends outside
to shed rain.
Sidewalks thus added to q pup

Leland Student Has Visited
Many Foreign Countries
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Martha JenniSOn, I3,


Patsy Berkner Of Leland Junior
High School is a seasoned world
traveller. But this is only natural
as her father is in the Navy.
Her world tour began in 1898
when her family sailed for France
and England. After a short stay
they again sailed. this time aboard
an English ship, the Jarvis Bay
later sunk while rendering assist
ance to a convoy. The route, which
eventually was to lead them to Aus.
tralia, took them to Gibraltar
Malta, Port Said and through the
Suez Canal to Alden, whire they
embarked on another ship for Cey-
lon, India.
Finally they reached Australia
where they lived for nine months
Patsy remembers seeing miles of
desert, much sheep farming, and
acres of wheat, rye and barley
crops. An interesting experience
was watching hundreds of rabbits,
which are the scourge of Australia
crossing the country. One of her
incest memories Is of her mis-
chievous pet kangaroo.
From Australia they went to Sgd
ney, then to Canberra, where many
forest fires were raging. At Tas-
mania. of Australia, they saw the
tin and silver mines. Later, while
visiting New Zealand, they saw the
Sutherland Falls. the highest in the
world, and the Glowworm Cave, SO
named because of the countless
glowworms which illuminate it.
After that they headed home
stopping at the Fiji Islands, Amer
lean Samoa, Pago-Pago and Hawaii
In 194l the family took trip to
Alaska, travelling by car and steam
ship. On the way they stopped at
some islands of Canada and Alaska
where there are Indian reservations
Travelling through Alaska, they saw
Mount Mckinley, and further north
the midnight sun, which never sets
but just dips. On the way home
they stopped at countless salmon
canneries.

Get piece of grass rope" about

Wind bit of this wire on the other

An Australian or South American
lasso can be made by wiring two

Make these tails about five fee,

Hi.Y Club Conducts

"asHingtoh-Lee High school.
The boys Hi-Y Club of Washing
ton-Lee High School has devised a
school grounds cleanup plan which
might prove beneficial to other
Metropolitan Area schools to adopt
this fall.
Last winter the school trash situ-
alton at WI. was becoming de-
plorable. Every part of the grounds
was Uttered with everything from
lunch bags to orange peels and ap-
pie cores. Almost every type of
cleanup campaign was tried, but
the vast majority of the 2,0OO-odd
students still weren't impressed.
Finally, the Hi-Y Club took over
the project early in January and Mr..
Jackson, the club sponsor. worked
out plan whereby 81 small water
proof trash cans were made in the
schools sheet metal shop. Floyd
Daugherty, president of the club.
got the members to hunt around and
bring in old piping about yard
long and three-fourths inch in di-
ameter. The cans were coated with
green paint and mounted on the
pipes, which were placed all around
the grounds. The motto was mo
student is ever more than so feet
from a can while he is on the school
grounds"
The project had all the hoped for
success. The students caught the
spirit Of things almost overnight
and there was rarely ever any trash
around the school. Hi-Y members
emptied the cans every day and
soon WI. boasted probably one of
the cleanest school grounds in the
Metropolitan Area. all for a cost of
only 50 and a little initiative.
