each five or !ix feet long and an
inch or an inch and lone-half
'wide. Strips made, of pieces of
newspaper pasted together will
do very nicely.
Paste, one strip, end to end,
making a loop or band as shown
in Figure 1. Of the second
strip, make a similar hand, hut
before pasting, turn one of the
cuds over giving a half twist
to the strip. This loop I is shown
in Figure 2. The third strip is
prepared in the same way, ex
cept that before pasting, you
must turn one -of the ends all of
the way around as in Figure 3.
This is the part you must keep
secret -the fact tnat there is half
a tvist in the second lortp and a
whole twist in the third. -
Cut .the Jtrst band in two, fol
lowing the dotted line shown in
the, illustration. You Vvill, of
course, get two hands, each half
awide as the original. Do the
same with' tne second and in
stead' of two bands you will
have one, twice as long as the-
' "original and half as fi lc.
So far, if is a pretty good trick.
To cap the tiirhax, cut "the. third
'' band. You will get two bands,
looped together.

SCIENTIFIC FARMING
No more the fafmer has to rise
Before the break of day
To plow and sow and rake and mow
'And till the waving hay.
The plow is rusting in the bam;
He's left the harrow flat j
" All toil he's sprned, for he has learned
A trick worth two of that. :
For in the autumn of the year,
When motor parties fare.
In' winding trains along the lanes
To get the country air,
The farmer sets beside the road
A bountiful supply
Of produce which the idle rich
Immediately buy. . .
They throng about the rustic shelves
.... He strings along the way; , .
They grab whate'er is vended there,
And gracious how they pay! , V
And when the village savings bank
Is groaning with his wealth,
When flies the snows, the farmer goes
To Europe for his health. ,
And how, you ask, can this be done
When" in the gentle spring
The farmer and his hired hand
Do not a single thing? . .,, . f.
The answer is an easyone. . , ii
And so we jot -it "down", ..'
The truck supply the suckers buy
Is all sent out from town.

WHY?
Do We Have Surnames?
In early times the names given
by parents to their children were
usually descriptive of some pe
culiarity already existing or which
it was hoped might become char
acteristic. The names of the Jew?,'
Greeks and Romans 'were almost
invariably of this nature. Thus!
Eve means life-giving; Jacob sig-,
nifics a supplanter: David is, "well-'
beloved," while Lazarus means
one destitute of help. In the
Greek, Alexander is a helper;
Hector, a defender; and Charity1
signifies love or beauty. In Latin, i
Augustus meant grand or vener-
able; Clement, mild-tempered, and'
Felix, happy. . .
So also ' it)'- English names,
whether of! Celtic, Anglo-Saxon,
Danish ..or Norman origin. Cad-I
wallader. for example, means val
iant; Griffith, good faith; Llewel
lyp, lipn-jike;. Alfred is "all
teace;." Bernard, bear's heart;
Edward," happy-keeper; Gilbert,
bright, and Richard, powerful.
These names were all of a per
sonal nature, 'having nothing in
common with thejiames of others.
In this respect they corresponded
to the English Christian or
"Chritianed" , names of modern,
times, and to the forename o
other countries. As population
increased, however, it was found
that something more was required"
to .distinguish between two or
more persons who were named
alike, and the practice of giving
a supplementary nani! or adding
something to jjhe proper nanie
came into vogue. These additions
were called "super" or "sur
names." -
At first, - however, these sur
names were "not handed down
from a father to son, but were
changeable at the will of the own
er. Nor was a man confined to
the -use of one surname. In the
"Domesday Book.jT for , instance,
there is the case (f the Earl of
Clare, who- had five surnames in
addition to., his title, and ' Lord
Coke stated: it is requisite that
special heed be taken of the name
of fjaptism; for a man cannot
have two baptismal names, though
he may have divers surnames."

a 1 1 -1 : j
There was great rejoicing m the lit
tle village in the pond when Brownie
Beaver returned ith the g-.d news
that there would be no more hunting
and fishing. And when old Gran
daddy Beaver said that everybody
ought to take a holiday to celebrate
the occasion, all the villagers said- it
was a fine idea.
So they stopped working, for once,
and began to plan the celebration.
They thought that there ought to
Me Crow looked around
be swimming races and tree-felling
contests. And Brownie Beaver said
that after the holiday was over he
would suggest that someone be
chosen to go down and thank Farmer
Green for putting the notice on the
tree.
The whole village agreed to
Brownie's proposal and they voted
to see who should be sent. Brownie
Beaver himself passed his hat around
to take up the votes. And it was
quickly found that every vote was
for Brownie Beaver. He had even
voted for 'himself. But no one seemed
to care about that.
Then the swimming races began.
There was a race under water, a race
with heads out of water and an
other in which each person who took
part had to stay beneath the surface
as long as he could.
That last race caused some trouble.
A young scamp called Slippery Sam
won it. And many people thought
that he had swum up inside- his
house, where he could get air,, with
out being seen. But no one' could
prove it; so he won the race, just
the same. ,
Next came the tree-felling cotesL
There were six, including Brcjvnie
Beaver, that took part in it. Gran
daddy Beaver picked out six trees, of
exactly the same size. Each person
in the contest had to try to bring
his tree to the ground first. And
that caused some trouble, too, be
cause some claimed that their trees
wtere of harder wood than others
and more difficult to gnaw while
others complained that the bark of
their trees tasted very vitter, and tf
course that made their task unpleas
ant. Those six trees, falling one after
another, made such a racket that
old Mr. Crow heard the noise miles
away and flew over to see what was
happening. .
After, everybody crept out of his
hiding-place,, some time afterward
(everyone had to hide for a while,
you know), there was Mr. Crow sit
ting upon one of the fallen trees.
"What's going on?" he inquired.
"You'ra not going to cut down the
whole forest, I hope."
Then they told him about the ce
bration. And Mr. Crow began To
laugh.
VWhat are you going to do next?"
he asked.
" "We're a-going to send Brownie
Beaver over to Pleasant Valley to
thank Farmer Green for his kind
ness in putting an end to hunting and
fishing," said jld Grandaddy Beaver.

"And he's a-going to ' start right

, Mr. Crow looked around. And
there was Brownie Beaver, with a
lunch-basket in his hand, all ready to
begin his long journey.
"Say good-bye to him then," said
Mr. Crow, "for you'll never see him
again."
"What do you mean?" Grandaddy
Beaveft. asked. And as for Brownie
he was so frightened that he
dropped his basket right in ;the
water.
"I mean " said Mr. Crow "I

lace, it was not Farmer Green, but
