Dear Uncle Jed: 1t was a celd day In December and Margaret was sitting by ths fire reading a book. Margaret's mother had not been feeling well during the last few days and child was ged to help her. “Marzarei” sald rer mother, “would you mind going te the well fo feteh me some water?” Mar- garet obliged, and ran to the well. As she filed the pitcher she noticed { something bri e bottom of it. Tt| was a tiny ring, which could not even fit ur -smallest®singer. On her way k {0 the house she heard a voice say, e girl, did you find a Ting?’ Mar- zaret Jooked around -and saw a small lady dressed in a pink *®ostume. Ma garet shcwed hers. The lady said. “Margaret, T am a fairy and thls ring contains all mir powers; as a reward T will give this pot of gold which will never be empty” ‘When Margaret arrived home she re. lated all she had seen and heard to her mother. Her .mother and she lived hap- ever after, for the fairy’'s word did HELEN BOESSING, Age 11. Norwich. Whe Are Pal: Dear TUncls Jed: There wronz thinking € diers and | sailors are the only patriots. What shall We say of the women who do 7ot fight? What shall we call Martha Washlg- ton, who was compelled to siay at home while Ler Lusband was at Valev Forge? What €hall we call the thousands of wo- men who seut tueir brothers and sons to help the cause of liberty? Were not these women sood patriots as their ! something | s i i But Girls Make Another BY 'MOLLY PRICE COOK. There was great excitement in the vestibule! Ruth Mason’s side was try- ing to rescue a note from the caemy. “Violet got it,” said Ruth, “but those girls cannot read it because they'll never decipher our code!” Tor days one group of girls had been exchanging notes in code, and nobody could understand them. Another group grew envious and started some codes of their own. Then the fun began! One of the codes was rather easy and Ruth figured it out. It had numbers for every letter in the alphabet, but each vowel was given two numbers so when the vowel appeared twice in the same word, different numbers cculd be used. This is the way it ran: 215&22;b30;c31;d29;e17 & i3 &0 j ;né & r24;516 ul w7; x20; v 135 z 23. Therefore, “Lend me vur book” is written: 27,17,629° 58 1318124 30,2818 14. Ruth's code is one that was used during the Ciyil War. It is shown in this illustration. If any of the girls in Ruth’s group turn spy and tell the code, it will be casy to make 'a new one by beginning the alphabet with the last figure instead of the first and let- tering the figures from right to lefit instead of from left to right. A i number code can he used together with the alphabet code. Use geometric designs like circles, squares, triangles, rhomboids, and number them from owe husbands -and brothers A number of men, even in the war of the Revolution, were never soidiers or sailors, and yet were patriots. There was Benjamin Franklin, for instance. He never fought, but. Who loved America better than he? There was Samuel Adams, who ever heard of his fighting 2 batie? But he was as brave and sturdy a patriot as any soldier in the army. Then there was Washington's friend, Robert Morris, of Philadelphia. who heiped “get money to pay the soldiers. Thousands cf brave men risk their lives everyday to save others from harm. Brave doctors and nurses go where deadly disease is. Brave engineers are not afraid of sudden death i fthey can.save their passengers from accidents. Brave firemen staud ready to die to bring little children out of burning build- ings. Brave boys every summer risk thelr lives to save their comrades from drowning. Brave fellows held in check magdened horses and prevent them from running away with women and children. Brave women risk their own lives daily for the sake of others. Wherever we sec a_brave man, weman or child there we look for a patriot. LOUIS GROVER, age 12 Norwich, Twe Doss. Dear Wide-awakes: I'm going to tell you about two dogs that are owned by 2 cattle herder out in Texas. Most of the time these dogs have to work, but whenever they find a spare moment they hunt snakes. And since many of the snakes they mest are venomous, they have found it safer and surer to work in airs. X5 mmake secms to be tes big for this pair, and it is only a matter of good management that they keep from being bitten. Once in = battls with a huge copper- head, one of the dogs was bitten on the nose and came near losing its life. The bite did not spoil the smake game; it merely served to deepen the victimis hatred of snakes and hardly a day pass- es when he and partner do not find and finish at least one. The self appointed patrol knows when and where to look for enakes. When a reptile is located one of the dogs attracts its attention by barking in its face, while the other ons grabs the snake far below the fangs. The dog Who has been doing the barkins, with a quick shift gets hold of the vietim's tail, and the tu of war is on. At this stage of the battle it is not too soon to record another nfs- ing_in the gradually thinning snake ranks of the region. NATHAN J. AYER, Age 13 Norwich. My Trip To Hartferd. Dear Uncle Jed: I thought T would write and tell You of my trip to Hartfor We started about ‘Wednesday morn- ug, August 10th for Hartford. On the way I saw many pretty sights including fields of tobacco. In Manchester it is grown near the edge of the sidewalk and it grows from 3 {o 4 feet high in other piaces. The tobacco was in biossom and the leaves were over a foot long. Where the tobacco was in biossom, the people were stringing it on some sticks and go- e sheds where they Some of the tobaceo was grown cheese cloth. When they grow it cheese cloth they get from 3 to under 4 cents a pound more for It because it keeps the storms and insects off of it. I had a very pieasant ride and hope all the Wideawakes will have as nice a ride sometime as I did. IDA GLEAVE, Age 12.

You may also have noticed that I have to remind her to advance the spark when driving on a level road. “The ‘spark’ is the shorter of the two levers on the steering wheel quad- rant. The longer lever is a hand gaso- line throttle controlling gasoline sup- ply.. The spark lever connects with a ‘distributor’ that ‘times’ the electric sparks in the cylinder spark plugs. On some cars the spark is retarded when the lever is pulled down on the quad- rant: on others, retard position is at the top. “The spark léver regulates the time of the spark as related to the position of the piston in the cylinder, as these cross-sections show. ~Fig. A shows ‘retarded spark’ with the spark plug sk) firing just after the intake valve x), admitting gasoline vapor, has closed and the niston (s) has started down. In Fig. B, middle po: spark is-firing just as the piston is at the top. In A advanced spark, the spark is firing just before the pis- ton reaches the top and while the valve is still slightly epen. “When the car is rumning at fair speed on a level road, I advance the spark to fire just ahead of time be- cause under such conditions the piston moves so fast that it reaches the top IMAY 48U LFFav @ovwv LJEQF VORCrIo, o 20 6123 raswece somee o tew.
