r i i 1 I 14 For Boys Sports that Make Men Athletics Pillow Joust FRANCIS ROLT-W HEELER. Even in June there are pt to be wet days when tome of the outdoor sports cannot be played. In sum mer, too, it is worth while to have some new sport that can be played : small indoor space. Pillow ,ist is one of these. As the name suggests, it is a joust, or tournament, like those which knights in armor used to run in the middle ages. The only armor need ed for this joust is a pillow, made of (he strongest ticking you can get and tairly tightly stuffed with hay or Straw. Hay is the best. On the floor, or on the ground, mark two parallel lines a yard apart and eight feet long, or even 10. This makes a lane a yard wide. Each of two boys fastens one of these pil lows to the top of his head, firmly, , and they take up positions at oppo site ends of the line. At the word "Go" they put their heads down and charge at their opponents. Four or five steps bring the collision. If one of the jousters is knocked head over heels backward, that counts one; if he is knocked on either side of the line, so that he is forced to step outside it, he is "unhorsed," which counts two, and if by constant hutting he is driven back along the land to the point from which he started to run, he is "conquered" and :he count is three. The arms must be folded before beginning to run, and kept folded all the time. Either player who unfolds his arms is counted as "disarmed" and loses one point. The tilt can be run at any part of the body, and, as the lane is a yard wide, one or the other player can Swerve to one side and butt side wayl, just as a jouster would ma neuver his horse. Do not make the ruB any longer than 10 feet or so much speed will be got up that the "butt" might be too hard. A scream ingly funny variation of this is to tie the feet together loosely, so that one can just shuffle along, and joust as before. (Tomorrow T u n g s t e n Bulbs.) Light I M.TPTL.-.

Answered for Girl Physical Training Director. CAROLINB M. WEIRICH. "What are you going to choose as your subject for your composition on 'A Life Vocation?'" asked Zelda. She and her chum were walking through the corridor of a Junior High school having just finished a lesson on vocational guidance. "Foolish question to ask me," said the other. "My subject is 'The Physical Training Director' for that's what I'm going to be." "You'll have to go to school a long tiYnel" - "I know. I want to go to Welles ley. But it takes five years after fin ishing high school to complete the course, there, in the department of hygiene and physical education. Mother's afraid she can't afford it." "Couldn't you get a course in the university here?" "I could, but I'd rather go to the Central School of Hygiene and Physical Education of the Y. W. C. A. Their course takes only two years. I can live and go to school there quite reasonably." "Are you sure you can get in?" "Pretty sure. One must be a high school graduate and must have a doctor's certificate. They say, too, that every gymnasium teacher should have a sense of rythm and a nerve system responding readily to quickness and muscular accuracy. "Even after being admitted, a girl is on probation The school is intended to train only those girls who show special ability and have ambition, personality and physical endurance. "Do you know," continued Helen, "I expect to make a big salary some day, and I'll enjoy the work. Teach ers are needed everywhere, in play grounds, social centers, Y. W. C. A.'s. public schools and camps. Most teachers, if they are any good, start at a salary of $1,100, many are mak ing $2,500" and others, even more." "You seem pretty well up on your subject" agreed Zelda. "Want to hear about my plan" (Tomorrow The Circulating Li brary.)

The street was full of people, and every one was gay. The Twins and their -Father had gone only a little way up the street when an old wo man met them. She had a pole on her shoulder, and from it swung a little fire of coals in a brazier. She had a Htle pot of batter and a little jar of sweet sauce, a ladle, a griddle and a caketurner! "Would you like to make some cakes?" she said to Take. The father gave the old woman ome money out of his sleeve. She set the brazier on the ground. Then Take tucked her sleeves back, put the griddle on the coals, poured out some batter, and cooked a little cake on one side until it was brown. Then she turned it over with the cake turner, and browned it on the Other side. Then, she put it on a plate and put the sauce on it. My, my I but it was fun I The first cake she made she-gave to her Father. He ate it all up. Then he said, "Honorable daughter, the cake is the very best I ever had of the kind. I am sure your honorable brother would like one too." The Japanese are so very polite that they often call each other "hon orable" in that way. They even call things that they use "honorable," too! So Take said very politely, "Hon orable Brother, would you like one of my poor cakes?" "I should like a cake very much," Taro said. Take poured out the batter. She watched it carefully, to be sure it did not burn. When it was brown enough she gave it to Taro. Taro ate it all up. Then, he said to Take, "Honorable Sister I should like to eat six." The Father laughed. "If you stay here to eat six cakes, we shall not sell the doll's garden," he said "Take must have one cake for her self and then we will go on." Take baked a cake for herself and tte it. She called it a "poor" cake aloud but inside she thought it was the very best cake that any one ever made! When she had finished, she and Taro and the Father bowed politely to the old woman. , "Sayonara," they said. That means "goodby." The old woman bowed. "Sayon ara," she called to them.

They soon found the doll's gar- Gen. In it were many tiny pine trees like theirs at home. There were little plum trees, and bamboos, and a tiny teahouse in it. There was a pond with a little bridge, to. "Oh!" cried Take, "if it only had little bells on the plum trees, this would be the very garden I sang about to Bot' Chan; woudn't it??" She stooped down and peeped un der the little trees. (Right reserved by Houghton Mifflin Co.) WHY? Can't We See in the Dark? (Copyright, 1920. by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc When we state that we "see" an object we are accustomed to believe that we actually see the thing itself whereas, as a matter of fact, all that our eye takes in is the light which is reflected from the object. This light, by reason of the varying shadows and intensities, gives us our im pression of what the object looks like which is the reason that the same thing will often appear to be different to a number of per sons. Because light is a necessary adjunct of "sight," it follows that the absence of light or darkness will nullify the sight and make the things which surround us totally invisible. Without light, our eyes are useless and even the light itself is scarcely more necessary than reflection, as may be proved by looking into a mirror and then into a sheet of plain grass. The former, on ac count of the reflection obtained by the coating of mercury at the back, reflects, the light. The latter reflects only a portion of it from its polished surface and the image which we see is in the nature of a vision, lacking the depth and the prospective attain able in the mirror. If anyone could invent a scientifically per fect black paint which would ab sorb all light and reflect none, he would solve the riddle of in visibility, for it would be im possible to see such objects even in the brightest of sunlight.. Tomorrow's question WHY are hat-bands placed on hats? I'M THE GUY! I'M THE GUY who never knows when it's time to go home. If the chairs are comfortable where I'm calling for the evening and I'm in no hurry to leave, why should I tear myself away just so people can go to bed? Their yawning doesn't annoy me unless it starts me yawning too. If they run out of conversation I can always find plenty to talk about; it doesn't bore me to talk. It's not my fault that they have to get up early in the morning or were fl 40-Inch Plain Georgette Crepe 40-Inch Figured Georgette Crepe 36-Inch Kimona Silk 36-Inch Fancy Plaid Taffeta 36-Inch Fancy Stripe Taffeta TTvn T Tm7 up late the night before or that I picked the wrong night to call. I call when I feel like it and stay as late as I please. And I call for my own pleasure, not theirs. And if I'm calling late in the aft ernoon, why should I hurry away just because my hostess has a meal to prepare or expects other company for it? If she wants to be polite she can ask me to stay. That's usually what I'm sticking around for, any way. (Copyright, Thompson Service.) Feature What Do You Know? (Here' thane to make your mtt worth money.
