a simple pattern: Search through the wooden boxes i nthe basement or on the kindling pile for some clear, straightgrain pieces of pine that is not split or blemished. You will need

three strips, 2 in. wide, one strip
3 in. wide, and another about 4 in
wide all about 25 in. long. For uprights, you will need three
pieces, in. thick, about 4 in. wide
and 11 in. long. Of course, you might get the material at a lumber yard, but you will probably find it in the kindling wood pile. If your tools are sharp and you are expert with them, you might work it up out of oak, birch, or other hard wood. The three uprights should be-cut out according to the pattern shown in the drawing. The 3-inch strip forms tho bottom; the 4-inch strip forms the lower part of the back; and the three ' 2 inchsrips are nailed on as shown. Use shingle nails with pine; screws with oak. Bore two half-inch holes through the upper strip, before it is fastened on, bo that the rack may be hung on two nails. When the carpenter work is complete, trim up all the joints, sandpaper it thoroughly, and give it two coats of white "outside" paint. As
tins and covers arc usually be
tween 9 and 10 inches in diameter,
each compartment will hold several of them. It is perfectly possi ble, however, to add another com
partment, allowing 11 inches be
tween the uprights. Hoys' anil Girls' Newspaper Service Copyright, 1919, by J. IX. Millar

"The other fellow was 'Noisy' Thomas. We called him Noisy because he talked so little. Nobody paid much attention to him; he was a skinny little runt with a
drooping shoulder on one side and; catch
pigeon-toe on the other.I remember one evening he remarked, Someone at this school ought to sell typewriters.' Two days later his ad appeared in the college paper and all year he had two Sophomores selling typewriters for him. That's the way he worked and do you khow that fellow has made such a success in the lumber business that today he can ride in the same direction for forty miles through the woods of Maine and his horse's foot will never be off his own land!" Even if you are only working to make money outside of school hours, remember about Noisy Thomas. He succeeded because he was not afraid to do go ahead and do things.

MOSS SIGNS ON THE TREES Ity Adclia Itelle Heard Almost every boy and girl has heard that one way lo "Kind the North" is to look for mos.i on the trunks of trees, that moss grows only on the north side. Hut does it? Investigate the matter for yourself. It will be an interesting bit of woodcraft to study. Examine trees lhat stand more or less in the sunshine and others that grow in the dense shade ot the woods and you will find con Hiding evidence. Woodcraft, however, demands that you use your reason as well as your eyes. He gin by asking yourself why moss should prefer the north side o( anything. Then remember lhat
moss grows best in the shade and requires a good deal of moisture, that the north side of an object is always in the shade and holds moisture longest because the sun can not git lo it and dry it out. So moss on the north side of a tree gets what it wants, shade and
