The five-pound boxes have layers in the form of little cardboard sections which can be made into separate drawers for each article you will put in your case. " Pirst, cover the outside of the box with col- ored paper which you can buy by the yard at any stationery store. Lay the paper on the box and cut out the shape of first the bottom, then the top, and the sides. Cover the inside surface of the paper with paste and place each plece in its proper position. If your paper is not cut quite accurately you can fit it on the box as you paste it down, turning in a corner here and there until it fits. Remove the two layers on the inside of the box and cover the inside in the same way, using perhaps a paper of a contrasting color to that which you used on the outside. Take some strong cardboard and cut strips ° the same 'measurements as the length and breadth of the layer-sections. You will, no doubt, want in your sewing case a section for a thimble, one for several small spools of thread, @ place for pieces of ribbon and snap fasteners and hooks, needles and pins. You may have still other articles you keep in your sewing case, but you will want at least four sections in your box. This will leave the very bottom space in the box free for the article you are sewing upon. Divide each layer-section into four small sec- tions. For this yo.. will need two strips of card- board the length of the box, and two the size of the width of the box. In cutting the card- board allow for tabs by which you will fasten the cardboard to the sections. Take the strips for the lengthwise division first. Paste the two together, leaving the tabs at each end free. Fold the tabs outward from each other and paste them on the layer section at each so that the section will be divided down - center. Find the very center of the layer-section and cut the cardboard divider down to about'a half- inch from the bottom of this section. Then PaSte AHA ten eyl asd String thaatiiar Tor the iigsaodd Bl § . JSsssian width division, slipping the divider through the slit cut in the center of the lengthwise divider and pasting the strips to the section in the same way. You will now have a section divided into four small compartments. Cover the sections with colored paper in the same way you covered the inside of the box. Your second layer may be divided into compartments in the same manner, - By following this method of dividing the box into compartments you can take any size box and divide it into as many compartments as you wish, A long flower box so made would make a good container for your hosiery, as you could put it in your drawer where it will save space, and by keeping one pair of hose in each compartment, you will always be able to find the pair you wish to wear. Jewelry and hand- kerchief boxes can be made in the same way. - POSERS In the column to the left is a list of coun- tries, and to the right are certain geographical features for which these countries are famous.

Fun With Lasso. ” For real fun get a lasso and start fooling with it. By choice, these lassos should be made from “grass rope” about 3;-inch in diameter, The loop on the American lasso should be made by bending over about seven inches of cne end LASSOS AMERICAN V " AUSTRALIAN % and wiring it into a loop with picture wire @ fine piano wire. A bit of this wire should also be wound on the other, or free, end of the lasso to keep it from unraveling. An Australian or South American lasso can be made by wiring two tails to a regular piece of rope. These tails should be about five feet long and have weighted balls firmly fastened to their outer ends. This foreign lasso is worke ed just as is the American lasso, by swinging it around the head and then letting it fly at the object to be caught. This Australian lasso should never be used in attemipting to Jasso a person, as the weighted balls might cause injury. i) Sun § pofi'. THE sun appears to the naked eye to be g huge hot ball of fire, shining brightly all over its surface. You cannot, of course, look at the sun directly for more than a second, and when you do, you see nothing but a daz- zling brightness, and you hurt your eyes into the bargain. But if you were to look at it with a telescope and through a piece of dark- ened glass at its lens, you would see that there are certain spots on what you thought was a perfectly bright surface. These are the so- called sun spots, and they appear to be deep Holes in the sun, with whirling fringes of fire moving rapidly about their edges. Deep holes in the sun! That’s about what they are, but they are of immense size, the smallest of them being about 500 miles in diameter, and some may be as much as 50,000 miles across. And when you remember that our earth is only about 8,000 milés in ‘diame eter, you will readily see that it could easily fit into this large hole, with plenty of room to spare. But if it ever did fall in, it and all of us would be very much out of luck, for it and everything on it would be boiled up and disappear as-quickly as a drop of water on & red-hot stove, and we would nevir know what'
