The Lunge, in Fencing.
A foil should be held as lightly as
possible, principally with the thumb
and forefinger, the thumb lying flat
on. the hilt. The other fingers should
lie flat on the left side, but should
not grip. A foil should not be held
any more tightly than the bow when
playing the violin.
The first position or "salute" is
made m two different way: , (a)
Place both feet at right angles, the
heels touching, the right foot in front
and pointing to the opponent, legs
straight, both arms down, the point
of the foil nearly touching the
ground, (b )Same as above, save that
the right hand holds the foil at the

and slightly to the right, the arm

Five other girls in the neighborhood
were decked out in the same way-
and all ''six of them made a rare
rainy day sight. .
They met the doctor on the street,
"Fine I" he said. "I can see some
folks who won't need any medicine
this spring! But don't stay in your
wet clothes when you get home!','
And their clothes were wet!, They
walked eight, miles in the. rain,
through the suburbs and into the
country. When they got home they
left their shoes at the kitchen door
and undressed jon newspapers spread
over the bathroom floors. A warm
tub, a shampoo and dry clothes, and
six rosy-cheeked girls set the dinner
tables in their homes, none -the
worse for wear, and with ferocious
appetites. Each and every one de

slightly lower than the breast, the
arm bent, the elbow near the body;

the eye. Advance the right foot two
soles' length in front of the left hel.
Bend both knees, poising the weight
of the body equally between the two
legs. This is the position far all

on a good guard, attack and de
fence, swift advance and sudden re

lean back causes the lunge to become
a jump.

Control of these two positions was

WHY?-
Is the Balance Wheel of a Watch
Made of Different Metals?
Copyright, 1920, by The Wheir
Syndicate,
The balance wheel is the heart
of a natch. Upon it depends the
operation of the other parts of the
complicated mechanism. ' Unless
this wheel is perfectly constructed
and made so as kto withstand
varying changes in temperature
it will not pulsate accurately and
will soon cause the watch to vary
so that it loses or gains time.
a On account of the different
temperatures which the ordinary
watch must withstand, it is neces
sary 1 that the balance wheel be
made of metals which expand and
contract at rates whielj offset
each other. For tlu's reason the
wheel itself is inade of finely tem
pered steel, while, set around the
rim in such a manner as to pre
serve perfect balance, are bits of
brass which act as a check upon
the expansion or 'contraction of
the steel. When it is remembered
that the balance wheel of a watch
pulsates back and, - forth . some
432,000 times a day and that the
delicate mechanism must be so
adjusted as to withstand changes
of temperature y ranging from
body heat to a number of degrees
below zero, it will be seen that
precautions such as the use of at
least two metals are essential to
the operation of a. watch which
will keep perfect time. ,

Somewhere in Omaha is a heavy
set, pedigreed Airedale dog, who
escaped from the crate in which he
was being shipped from Canada to
II. A. Russell, Hillsdale, Ore., by a
friend. '
Instead of the canine buddie he
expected to receive from Canada-
land, Mr. Russell was presented with
an empty crate at the end of the
journey. He has wired the Humane
society in Omaha offering $50 re
ward for the recovery of his dog.
A. C. Watkins, messenger for the
express company, told Humane socie
ty officials that the dog chewed his
way to freedom from the crate,
t "He just worked a board loose
and trotted down the street," says
AI Lipinsky, loader for the firm.
Anyway, Mr. Russell wants his dog.
