How to Make
A Paper Circus
BY ADELAIDE KERR
APP Nawsfaatl1ras Writer

49,
WONDERING how you can make
Christmas as bright as usual for the
children in this high-cost-of-living
year?
Perhaps you might broow an idea
Perhaps you might borrow an i
dea from Mrs. F. c. Whitcomb of
Bayside, L. I. Mrs. Whitcomb,
wife of New York commercial art
ist, won a prize at the recent Wo-
mans International Exposition in
New York with her paper doll cir
Gus made entirely of paper and
dressed in it.
1t is peopled with fabulous char
acters designed TO delight the heart
of almost any child-and Mrs.
Whitcomb says it cost her very lit
tie but time.
Mrs. Whitcomb made her circus
of crepe paper, which storekeepers
saved for her after it had been used
for window decoration. Here is her
system:
/. Take a piece of white crepe pa
Per Az by inches, stretch it to re-
move crepiness. Lay it in front of
you. Place a ball of cotton the size
of large walnut on the edge near
est to you and close to the left side
of the paper Roll the paper away
from you into a cylinder, rolling
the cotton ball up in the cylinder.
Twist tightly the, open end nearest
the cotton ball This is the top OF
the head. Twist tightly the longer
end. This becomes the spine of the
doll. Cut away some of the small
twist of paper at the top of the head
and paste the rest fiat.
2. Take a square of paper towel
ing. roll it tightly, wrap it around
with narrow strip of crepe paper
and paste down the strip. Place this
at right angles to the spine, slight
ly below the head and anchor it Il
the spine by twisting around boil
a ribbon" of crepe paper, half al
, inch wide. The paper roll repre-
sents the arms. Cut it to the righ
proportions.
3. Make another paper towelinj
: roll wrapped with crepe pape
strip. Bend it in the middle and an
, chOr it like an inverted "V" at tn
end of the spine by twisting crep
paper strip back and forth aroun
/ it. This represents the legs, Tur
5 up the ends for feet, wrap thes
. with a strip of crepe paper to Civ
a mocassin effect and lacquer ther
with clear nail polish.
4. Wrap the spine with crepe pa
per until the trunk of the body
- built.
5. To make the hair take a stri
of crepe paper one inch wide an
S of any length. Twist pull this III
= til it becomes a stout thred. Cut
: off in six inch lengths. Twist eac

its organization.
Candidates of both parties have,
for the past several campaigns, paid
more attention to an attempt to In.
fiuence the mass large city vote
than that of the rural districts. It
is in the cities that most of the CAM.
paign funds have been spent; that
the speeches have been made; it is
to the city voters the appeal has
been made to turn the rascals out"
The rural vote is not greatly
influenced by vituperative, vitri-
Olic, partisan oratory. The rural
voter, as a class, is a patriotic,
sane thinking individual, who
does his own thinking; writes
his own editorials, and asks only
for honest factual information
on which to base his thinking.
He does not vote as he is told; he
does vote for that which he believes
is best for the nation. He was not
attracted by the Henry Wallace poll
icy of scarcity, the plowing under OF
planted crops or the killing of little
pigs He is not greatly Influenced by
farm subsidies, is not asking for
something for nothing"
AN INDIvIDUALIST
What he is expecting, and de-
manding, is market for the prod
ucts of the farm. He is an individ-'
ualist. He does not want to be regi-
mented as a price to be paid for
assistance. He knows the world
needs, and will use, what the Ameri-
can farms produce when world gov
ernments will provide the finances
and methods of distribution. With an
assured market, he prefers to stand
on his own feet, take his own
chances, with all other lines of pro-
! duction. The party that will propose,
and provide, insofar as one nation
can, a practical way to world dis
tribution of food, will appeal to his
intelligence, if and when he is given
the factual information that win
demonstrate to him the practicable
ity of the proposed methods.
That rural voter, whether he
be of the town or the farm, will
not fall for political doubletalk.
He will not accept meaningless
statements. He wants all the
cards face up on the table, and
when they are he viii decide
for himself which party offers
most for the good of the nation
as a whole, not for any minority.
On the decision of that rural voter
rests the verdict to be delivered mex
| November. To influence that deci
sion he must have facts. To him mere
condemnation of the other fellow
means nothing. He is not accepting
Fourth of July oratory nor any wav
ing of political flags. The party tha
can, and does, provide for his con
sideration the most convincing fac
! tual information will most influences

something on which to base his de
, cision. The time to provide tha

Developed Rarhed Wire

Although wire fences had been in
use IN this country as early as 1916,
they were expensive. The barbed
wire fence solved the problem OF
fencing in livestock effectively.
Credit for its development goes to
Joseph F. Glidden, a farmer. who
made his first barbed wire in 1873,
The first barbs were put .on the wire
one at a time and hammered in
place. The adoption of Bessemer
steel in 1875 permitted production OF
cheaper and better wire. Within
decade, the price had been reduced
from Is to 3 cents a pound. A ton Of
oaroed wife was enough to make
two miles of three-stran6 fence.

Ancient Santa Fe Trail

Centuries before Columbus dis
covered America, the Santa Fe trail
was in use. At least 700 years ago,
natives traded and travelled up and
down the Arkansas river from its
mouth to the Rocky mountains.
Fear of dying of thirst influenced
them to follow the stream instead
of taking the desert route.

WASHINGTON. - Some of our

A False Economy

There was at least one SEEM
ingly Improbable saving made
by congress in the effort to cut t,
government expenses. 1t cut out
the appropriation for Senator
Byrd's ono m y committee.
During the life of that commit
tee it was responsible for saw
ing of more than six billion dol
lars. The committees cost of
operation amounted to only SIT
for each million dollars 1t saved
the taxpayers. We could well
afford to pay that kind of an ex-
pense item. There are still
plenty of costs on which such @
committee could continue work
ing.
The Taft-Hartley act is presumed
to outlaw labor feather bedding. The
railroad brotherhoods are demand
ing, among other things. an eight.
man crew for each unit of multiple

by two men. The public would have
to do the paying. :

Despite refusal of AFL labor

This is despite the refusal by

If Stomach Gas or
Sour Food Taste
Robs You Of Sleep
Here's How You May Help,
Whether You Eat 500 Pounds
or 1000 Pounds of Food
In a Year

You can't feel cheerful, be happy and
sleep well, II your stomach is always up
set. AS age advances the "old stomach"
needs more help. The reason Is this:
Everytime food enters the stomach q
vital gastric Juice must flow normally to

food may ferment. Sour food, acid indi-
gest1on and gas frequently cause a NOR
bid, touchy, fretful. peevish, nervous
condition, loss OF appetite, underweight,
restless sleep, weakness.
To get real relief you must increase
the flow Of this vital gastric juice. Medi-
cal authorities, in Independent labora-
positive proof shown that SIS Tonic Is
amazingly effective in increasing this
flow when 1t Is too little or scanty due
to q non-organtc stomach disturbance.
This Is due to the SIS Tonic formula
which contains very special and potent
activating Ingredients.
Also, SIS Tonic helps build-up nom
organic, weak, watery blood In nutri-
tlonal anemta-so with a good flow Of
this gastric digestive Juice, plus rich red
blood you should eat better, sleep better,
feel better, work better, play better.
Avoid Furnishing yourself with over
doses Of soda and other alkalizers to
counterfeit gas and bloating when what
you so dearly need is SIS Tonic to help
you digest food for body strength and
repair. Don't wait! Join the host Of
happy people SIS Tonic has helped.
