HYDE “Racing toy sailboats on the pond was all the rage when I was a boy, said Uncle Bob. All they’ do, though, was sail before the wind. or, with the rudder tied over, make a big circle and drift back. Watchin them gave me an idea and I figure out a rig that would sail itself against the wind, just like a real boat.” "%o' did you do it?” “Well, 1 whittled the hull of a toy cathet out of a flat pine board about one-h3lf inch thick, 9 inches wide and 30 inches long (see drawing). To this I fastened a keel made of 4-inch board, 8 inches wide, and ballasted with some old lead pipe. (Dra'mfl; gives dimensions of mast, boom, gaff, and s2il) The rudder and rudder- post were whittled out of one piece, 14 inch thick, fastened to the keel with staples hooked together, and with the rudder-post sticking through a hole in the deck. The tiller, fas- tened on with some brads, pointed back parallel to the rudder. “The secret of automatic tacking was a string running from the tiller to -the boom. It was fixed so that the szil, swinging to one side, would pull the tiller and rudder over to the same side. Another string from the boam to a staple in the deck kept the sail from swinging too far out—just enough to clear the deck. “The 1} would tack only in a puffy wind. I'd start it out diagonally into the wind, and the wind would swing the sail out and carry the tiller and rudder over. It took some tinkering to make the string just the right length so that the rudder would just counteract the pull of the sail and keep her in a straight course. She'd keep the tack until the puff of wind died out, and then the rudder would bring her around so that the next puff would send her on the opposite tack. To steady her I hitched a piece of stovewood on behind, towed by 2 cord. It took some experimenting t get everything right, but it worke Tt ic an impossible fask fo ~think|when they go hunting-mice.

My mother, who did not know who it was, immediately ran into my next door neighbor's house, for she thought| the cry sounded like her voice. Sure enough. it was our neighbor. My mother was just in time to keep her from falling, for she was faint- ing. A doctor was immediately called. In a few minutes the house was full of men and women. My mother still did not know what this excitement was about. Tn the meantime a man carrying a dead little bov in his arms came in. He was her little son. who was run over by a train and killed. Now everyone knew what caused this| quite a lot. and that is seats, desks, blackboards, charts and erasers. big_excitement.

The crosswises fold thus made forms the bottom of bag. Crease the fold. Three inches above this fold and three inches from left edge, sew the larg- est fish-eye button. ~Use ordinary white thread. Sew firmly, making stitches vertical with length of bag. This forms the body of a figure. Just above this button, and in the center, sew one of the 14" bone buttons, mak- ing stitches horizontal. This makes [ the head. 2 4 ?wo inches to the right, and one square of the !inzh;m down, sew the next largest fish-eye button. Above this, as previously, sew the other !2” bore button for a head.

Above this sew the smallest bone button. 4. Now thread the hwe-eygd em- broidery or darning needle with the black mercerized twist, and with an ordinary back stitch run the outline of arms, legs and_feet, as shown in the illustration. This completes the “papa,” “mama,” and “kiddie” figures. Re-crease the strip of gingham so0 the material will be wrong side out. Stitch each side firmly with hali-inch seams. . 6.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this sim- ple mixture was applied with wonder- ful effect. By asking at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get a large bot- tle of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist savs everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compounr now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied— it's so easy to use, teo.

World, the super film production of Harold Bell Wright's popular novel of the same name which comes to the Auditorium theatre Friday and Sat- urday. The circumstances léading up to Hep Sing’s screen carcer are ex- traordinary as well as interesting. Hundreds of his fellow men are em- ployed for menial duties in connection with making piciures in the neighbor- hood of Hollywood. California, the film centre of the United States. And it was out of such a circumstance that the screen career of Hop Sing sud- den arose. During the filming of the story. the company spent many davs in the San Bernardino mountains where most of the scenes were taken. To facilitate the trouble and expense of traveling back te Hollywood cach day the Clune company rented scveral small cottages in the mountainous regions, Wwhere the actors and actresses could live comfortably. and employed severa Chinese chefs to do the cooking.
