Baby Bunting's sister Alice has an ugly foot. It has corns and callouses. The toes are crooked and lap over one another. See how different they look in the pictnre. "Alice Bunting wears "fashionable" shoes. They hare high heels and pointed toes. Baby sister wears natufal shoes, Just the shape of her feet. Alice cannot walk very far. She complains that her feet hurt. She never shows her bare foot because she is ashamed of it! But Alice, was stubborn and would. hare those shoes! .; The Chinese women used to bind - their daughter's feet so they would stay small. When the Chinese girl yrew up, the could not walk alone but. required an attendant at each! inn so she would not topple over. Funny that American girls should , want .to imitate Chinese girls. . Alice Bunting is handicapped by incorrect shoes. She takes little mincing steps that would make an Indian langh. She runs the chance of having "flat feet" or "fallen arches." The high heels she wears place her feet In a strained position.' vThe weight of the body . is thrown on the ball of the foot and there is .too much pressure over the transverse arch. The heel is. hp In the air instead of down on the ground where it can help support the body.

Millar For Boys to Make T7 Handicraft MAKING A SKATE SAIL' By Grant M. Hyde : Next to lceboatlng, there is no winter sport so exhilarating or ex citing as skate-sailing. With a sail, made in a few hours at small cost and. a pair of sUary .hocky skates, a boy can scoot over the ice, sometimes attaining a speed of 30 miles an hour, can tack against the wind, and. can spend interesting hours studying hew ways to gain speed and distance with the wind as motive power, it is time you made your' sail. ' ' There are many skate sail models popular in : various parts of the country. Some cost more than othersand some require more skill tOv manipulate. The model shown here is a standard one, capable of high speed, and the dimensions are for the average boy. It requires two poles and some canvas or sheeting. " " ' ' -Bamboo Is the best . material for poles; but is not always available. A good substitute is 1x2 white pine, sold at the lumber yards for furring strips. You will need oue pole 10 feet 6 inches long and another, the spar, 6 feet long. Make the sail, 6X10 feet, as shown, of very light canvas or unbleached cotton sheeting. ""I ' v - ..

the canvas over the 6-foot pole and

tack It with carpet tacks. A better Job woold be a deep hem through which the spar may be slipped Bore a 1-2-lnch hole through the middle of the spar and another through the 10-foot pole 2 Inches from its end. A piece of rope through the two poles will furnish an easy way to rig the spar and to pull the sail taunt. At the pointed end of the sail, sew a pocket into which the end of the long pole may be slipped. It Is well to hem the sail's edges, to avoid raveling. To carry or before the sail, unhitch the spar and roll the sail about the two poles. The same model, with each dimension increased about one-third, makes a good .two-man sail with which two skaters can have lots of fun. Learn to sail and tack by experience. ' Copywrtght 1919 by J. II. Millar Boy a' and Girls' Newspaper Service Sports that Make Men Athletics TRAINING FOR BASKETBALL By H. 0. (Pat) Page University of Chicago. The game of basketball calls for a physical macmne to go at top speed for two twenty - minute periods of keen action. During a three month season, one must not overdo. Therefore, the loss of weight calls for a let up in daily practice. First Eat. proper rood. Tne mind and body only react when not over-burdened. Tasty or greasy dishes; or pork or fried potatoes should not be eaten. Do away withatimulants as coffee, tobacco, etc, for the excitement of the game is more than sufficient for heart action. .Never eat within three hours before practice or" a game. A full stomach causes sleepy reaction. Second Sleep and live regularly During the season, one needs steady nerves and plenty of "pep." You need , at least nine hours regular sleeo. 10:00 P. M. to 7:00 A. M., or better still 9:00 to 6:00. Of course this means social sacrifices. En durance comes with a good breathing apparatus. Therefore treat your lungs with plenty of fresh air. Do away with the close and stuffy bedroom and insist on a well ventilated class room. Third Condition your physicial machine by daily exercises. Make your practice work short and snappy. An hour and a half is more than enough time to spend in your gymnasium suit. - Many a fellow over does the physical part of the training, by putting In too long hours of practice. He becomes stale working at half speed. The daily program of conditioning should include: , (1) Warming up exercises as passing, pivoting, dribbling and basket shooting not over 30 minutes. (2) Two snort scrimmage: periods say 12 to 15 minutes each or once a week one long slow period of 30 minutes steady plugging. (2) End up the session in corrective work, as special guarding exercises or certain basket shooting stunts as free throwing; etc. ' Do not overdo. Basketball can very "acHy become too . strenuous for a growing boy. It is better not to work enough than to overwork.

Every Day Science

for Boy Mechanics HOW PICTURES ARE MADE By Grant M. Hyde "How do they print pictures in a newspaper, Daddy like the one In this article?" "They are printed from engravings, or 'cuts,' that are metal plates with the lines of the picture raised on the surface. These cuts are fitted Into the page form with the type and linotype slugs. When the ink rollers of the press pass over the page, Ink sticks to the lines of the cuts, just as it does to the letter types, and is pressed upon the sheets of paper, making pictures with lines of ink. "The engravings, or cuts, are made by photography, or photoengraving much like kodak pictures. Two kinds of cuts are used in newspapers. ' One, which' is composed of simple lines on a white backgrour1, like this picture, is called -a line engraving or line etching. The other kind which prints a picture with shades or gray, like a photograph, is called a halftone engraving. "These line engravings are made like this: An artise draws the pictures in ink on white paper. Then the engraver pins the drawing to the wall or an upright board and takes a picture of it in a large camera plate or 'negative' just about as we do a kodak film. To finish the job of making a kodak picture, we would place the -negative . and some sensitized photograph paper in a frame and allow light to pass through to 'print' the picture on the paper. The engraver does about the same thing except that, instead of using sensitized paper, he uses a sheet of zinc covered with a coating that is sensitive to light. That is, he.'priAts' his picture on a zinc plate. "When he has 'developed' this zinc plate, the picture stands on its surface in lines of coating which he strengthens with red powder called .'dragon's blood.' Then he washes the plate with acid which jetches. or eats into, the parts that are not protected by -the 'dragon's blood, leaving the lines of the original drawing standing out in metal lines on the zinc plate. When this plate is tacked to a block of wood, it is about ready for the printer. I told you about the half-tone last week. . , Copywrlght. 1919 Uy J. II.

When we got ours made they had their's made too. .They made their's on the east side, and we made ours on the west side. We had a great deal of fun. . Before we began to fight we got all of our ammunition ready. I guess they were all ready . too, the way they threw their snowballs at us. While we were fighting, Mrs. Nice came out. She said we had a better snow fort than the bovs had. Theli she went in. When we near ly, got through and the bell rang and we aaid it was a tie. Stella Shores, Grade 5A, Joseph Moore School.

Nature Study Outdoo Life A COCOON HUNT ' By Adelia Bollc Beard You do not carry a gun or game bag on this hunt, nor do you. bother with a camera. All you need is a pair of keen eyes to find your game and a box or paper bag in which to bring home your specimens. They must not be crushed or tightly packed, therefore your pocket ia not a good place for them. The cocoons should be in the best of condition at this time of the year. You will find them in the woods, clinging to branches or shrubs in marshy places and along the roadside; plastered on board fences and sometimes In hollow logs. Even on our city trees you may come across these little brown bags that hold 'the small, sleeping things which in early summer, will emerge gorgeous winged creature. The Cecropia Moth remember the name which is one of the largest and handsomest of all our moths, uses for blankets only the silk spun from Its own body. You may know the Cecropia cocoon-lt is quite large by its being lashed Its whole length to whatever supports it often to a twig of a Maple or other large shade tree and by its outer coat which looks as if made of dry brown paper. The cocoon of the beautiful, pale, green Luna Moth though incased in two or three leaves does not fasten itself, as others do, to (he twig, but when the leaves loosen and f all it droos with them to the ground. It is almost oval in shape, about two Inches long and is usually found under large trees like the oak walnut and hickory. The . cocoon wrapped in several leaves and hanging by a few silken threads from a twig of the Willow bee, will - probably be that of the splendid " Polyphemus Moth (you Can remember that name too) which has little window-like spots on its wings, clear and transparent as glass. Do not pull the cocoons off their twigs, take the twigs and all and put them in a vase in a safe place where they will have light and air, then early in June watch for the moths to come out. It is a wonderful sight. Boys' and Girls' Newspaper Servic Copywright, 1919, by J. H. Millar D. S.
