When Far Away From Home|

‘Tomato Can Serves as Stove; Ginger Ale Bottle, Cork, Rubber Tubing Make Barometer That Gives Accurate Forecasts.

BY LAURA LOU BROOKMAN : Times Special Writer f

NEW YORK, June 29—A jack-knife, a couple of fishooks, corks,

odds and ends of twine—

No, they're not prizes from little Johnny's pants pockets. They're a partial list of materials which girl campers, 1936 model, use when all the comforts of home are far, far away.

All you have to do is to know how! Girl Scouts, for instance, don't waste time worrying whether or not .the weather will spoil their plans for tomorrow's outing. They take an old ginger .ale bottle, a cork, a piece of rubber tubing and turn them into a barometer that tells them what the weather is likely to be.

It Works, Too

The contrivance works, too, home as well as in camp. Old tomato cans make first-rate picnic stoves. With a couple of nails and something sharp enough to cut tin, you can turn a tomato can into a perfectly satisfactory tent lantern. Or a whole row of cans—about 24—will make footlights for amateur theatricals. Camp furniture—tables, benches, dish drains—are made of tree branches lashed together with cord. A substitute for an ice box, primitive but serviceable, is achieved with nothing more than a hole in the ground, a pile of rocks, some tree branches and wet leaves.

How to Make Barometer

Here's the way to make a barometer: Take an empty ginger ale bottle and fit it with a cork. Bore a hole through the cork and insert a piece or Y%-inch rubber tubing. Turn the bottle upside down and make a raffia network around it so that it can be suspended this way. Tie the rubber tubing so that the end turns up. Fill the bottle with water. Then

at

shake out about one inch of this wa- |

"ter. Be sure there is no leakage where the cork fits the bottle or where the tubing enters the cork. These holes can be sealed with candle grease. Before fair weather the air -is pure and heavy. It will push heavily on the rubber tube opening, and force the water to stay in the bottle. Before a spell of rainy weather the air is too weak to hold back the water in the bottle and the barometer will drip. In Girl Scout camps each group of girls has. its own weather bureau to watch the barometer, clouds, and ‘humidity, and make forecasts for the following day. Weather flags proclaim these predictions.

Stove for Hikers

The tin camp stove does double duty. Food can be packed in the empty can, tied up in a kerchief, then hung on a stick and slung over one shoulder. After reaching the picnic site, the can is unpacked, fuel gathered for a fire and the pancake batter mixed. The can should be the large No. 10 size. The top is cut off and a section about two inches deep and four inches long cut from the side. There should be a smaller opening, about 1!2 inches square, near the other end of the can. Place the can, flatside up, on the ground, poke fuel through the large opening and light a fire, The smoke comes through the small opening. You can bake flapjacks, fry eggs or boil coffee on the top surface. Perhaps with your gas range you

- Learn From Experience

There are many times when it is wise to give a child his head and let him win a victory without our meddling. Certainly this sets him up, gives him courage and adds inches to his self esteem. The overly-regimented child loses spirit and interest after a while, or else he bottles up a vague resentment and a promise that some day, some way, he will let go with a bang. .
