Seiners and Work Boats
 Won by Emma Roy Blak
 Following the water events there was a luIl in activities and towns people strolled about gorging on hot dogs, pop. etc. Every youngster in town was jangling anywhere from two to ten dollars in his pocket-prize money from the races and parade. It made for the biggest soda pop and hot dog jag the town has seen for a long time
 About 10:3O D. m. a log barge belonging to the Campbell Towing Company left the Standard Oil docf loaded with several hundred dollars worth of fireworks, six daredevils .and one water boy.
 The fireworks were rigged on an elaborate lattice work, carefully prepared and planned to give a good show. Ernie Campbells tug Alaseo nudged the barge out into the bay off the Mccormack Dock.
 At the appointed hour, the first mortar was lit and it didn't take more than a split second for the thusiastic promoters to realize some thing was wrong. The mortar went about 10 feet into the air and ex- plOded, showering fire directly over the rest of the fireworks and onto the three men who were on that particular end of the raft. These three-Art Nelson, Lou Dyorak and Lowell SturdeYant-hit the deck and. with their noses and toes pro- giding locomotion. started for Wran.

 With the exception of that mar row escape, the rest of the fire works went off without incident Others on the detail were Don House. L. T. Campbell, Ernie Camp bell, Val Beals and the water boy

HOW TO SAVE A CITY
Continued from page fse

During the week before Christ
mas the happy children of Con-
cord, N. H., get a party every
afternoon in a hall hired by the
Chamber. Grateful parents park
their youngsters and shop with
peaceful efficiency. Children,
supervised by trained nurses,
enjoy toys, games, free ice
cream and Santa Claus.
Visitors to Jackson, Mich, are
surprised to have cabdrivers rat
tie off vital statistics on the indus
trial and business development of
the city. The Chamber of Com
merce keeps them informed.
In Portsmouth, Va, visitors
are often momentarily vexed to
find a police ticket on their cars.
But when they look closer, it

One season may see rhine

season sees rhinestone pins

One thing good fashion in

gest a goodlooking suit either

And should the occasion be
dinner and the theater our
suggestion would be our pic

The people who fuss and groan
about how horrible is Christmas
shopping, and isn't it all ridicu-
lously commercial, are those who
don't start until it's almost too
late; who get pushed and man
gled and snapped at because Of
their own slowness in starting.
Christmas is inevitably coming on
December IS. Why not prepare
now? There's very sanctimoni-
Gus satisfaction in being all
through but the wrappin's by De-
cember Is.
There's a tremendous number of
things to be had in our and 10
cent stores besides cards, paper
and ribbons for gifts. Every par
ent has the stocking filling prob
lem. and inexpensive gifts for
neighborhood children and the off :
spring of friends. Spending So or
So on each one would be finan-
cially ruinous to most of us, so
we've gone out to scout good, in
teresting presents in the under-a-
dollar (and many under-50 cents)
ground. Our largest S and los,
as you know, are very conveniently
grouped around F and G, Eleventh
and Twelfth. Here are our finds.
At Twelfth and G streets, there
is a wonderful little auto speedway
with midget wind-up car which
spins madly around hairpin curves.
It's all metal. IL inches long, fast
and noisy and is only Is cents.
It's a most impressive stocking
filler or can be bought in quantity
for all the small demons on YOUR
list. It's particularly good for
the 4 to year group.
Unbreakable records are avail
able in enormous quantities. All
the familiar nursery rhymes and
stories are here and lots that cur
generation never heard. Prices
are 19 cents, rs cents and 49 cents
each. There Is quite lot of sur
face noise on the 19-cent records,
but the 25-cent Little Golden
Records" are very satisfactory.
II you're buying these for Your
own use. be sure your photograph
will handle a finch record. Some
won't and most Of these records
are that size.
All these stores have fine COL
lections Of metal soldiers, sailors.
Marines, Indians. etc., but one
store, on F near 18th, has a more
complete selection than the
others. There are, in addition to
the standard figures, farmers cut
ting hay, farm women churning
butter. bricklayers, steel workers,
bombardiers and many others. In
dividual prices are 10c, 15c and
Csc. the majority being 15c. Com
plete sets Of Indians and plains
men. made in England, and con-
tanning 10 pieces, cost $1,29.

child traces inside the stencil he
is learning to reproduce the letters
by himself. Spelling can be
taught to the older child through
the use of the letters. The toy was
developed by the toy research and
testing laboratories of Hassenfeld
Bros. and is perfect for helping
young fry learn letter skills before
starting school.
If your child got cash register
last year or if you've heard via
grapevine that he's going to get
one this year, there's a fine little
set called "Playtown Banker, !"
complete with play coins, bills.
checks, deposit slips and even a
small cardboard bank. It's just
as much fun if you have no cash
register, an item which we've never
seen in a bank. At Twelfth and
G. only Is cents.
If you don't mind having your
child messing around the kitchen
"a needless worry if you're giving
it to someone else's childD there's
a very satisfactory mechanical
mixer on the toy market this year.
It's all metal, except for a plastic
cup to receive whatever mixture
is concocted and looks efficient
and business-like. For safety's
sake, it is not electrical but has
wind-up mechanism that makes
it whirl madly and turn out fine
chocolate milk drink or whatever
is wanted. 1t might be fine for
rebellious milk drinkers to let
them fix their own. At 18th and
F, $149.
The doll carriage set is pretty
sure to like a gift of carriage ac-
cessories. "Dolly's Carriage Set"
at 18th and G street store, has
blanket 14x20 inches, pillow
case 10x13 inches), and sheet
(14x20 inches), comes in assorted
pastels, and is 69c. It looks more
expensive and is a great boon, to
the Mother who hates to, or
doesn't know how to, sew.
You'll find very high-priced toys
in the 5 and 10 as well as fine
low-cost ones. You can buy
small sidewalk bicycle for $47.5O
or miniature organ at $3.50
quite as handily as you can get a
Csc game. But our purpose this
time is to give you some good,
reasonably priced items for all
those young 'uns on your list. But,
the time for your shopping is right
now. If you suffer bruised shin
and a broken spirit on December
20th, don't say we didn't warn
you.

Cornst0rch Puddino

There used to be a dessert that
you don't run into very often
these days. It often was served to
us kids for supper-and always
appeared in an oval, fitted mold
with a true-as-life looking ear
Of corn on top. This traditional
mold was designed because the
pudding was generally known as
cornstarch pudding - although
some tony souls tackled the French
name blanc mango" onto it to
give it glamour. It didn't need
any glamour-it was plenty good
just as 1t was.
Here Is one way to make it:
Scald 214 cups of milk in the
top Of double boiler. While that
is going on combine another "a
cup cold milk with "a cup corn
starch. a dash Of salt and 2 table,
spoons honey. or 3 tablespoons
corn sirup. Pour this mixture
into the hot milk and let cook un-
til 1t thickens and the cornstarch
Is cooked. Add one egg, well
beaten; cook few minutes longer
and flavor with a teaspoon OF
vanilla. Pour into a mold and
chill thoroughly until set.
Fresh fruit. such as sliced
peaches, berries, ETC., goes nicely
with this pudding.
