FOR CONSTRUCTION
Spring weather combined with the
approaching kite building contest
have aroused interest among the boys
in Plattsmouth in wood construction.
The public library offers many valu
able bocks on bird houses, a number
of them profuse with illustrations
and. detailed construction plans.
There are also a number that will
assist the boys who are seeking new
ideas for kites.
Among the books that will be most
helpful will be found, "Uoy Bird
House Architecture" by Baxter. It
is illustrated with plans for houses
for the different kinds and sizes of
birds. "Carpentry and Mechanics
for Boys" by Hall and "Things Boys
Like to Make" by Foster will also be
found valuable.
