avio persons with slate and pencil about a quarter of the slate is marked off by a line at each end and in each of the compartments so marked off are made a number of dots about the size of a pinhead those at one end representing japs and the a hers rus the number of japs and rus may be large or small as agreed on but must be equal at one end of each compartment is a small square which serves as a battery each play er in turn places the point of his pen cil in his own battery and then draws a line quickly in the direction of his enemy s men the line must have no angles in it but must be straight or curved thoe dots through which h the line passes are considered consider cd dead men and he who first kills all of the enemy s men is the winner son sam times the players are r required to sh shut u their eyes or turn away their heads when drawing their lines literary characters furnish each guest with paper and anell slowly read a list of familiar characters cha char rafters arters in

soft green turf ten tell yards or thirty feet is quite long enough tor for it the racers kneel down on all fours and form in line at the starting point with their backs toward the winning post at the signal off they go each one crawling backward the race Is not always to the swift it Is net at all easy to keep la in a straight line and every time tinie a racer turns to look oer oner his shoulder

distance from the rear wheels to the top of your eighteen inch stick on one end ot of the cord tie the weight and tie the other end to the center of the rear axle now turn the rear wheels backward and you will see that cord will wind around the axle run the cord over the top of the up right eighteen inch stick and turn tho the whee s backward until the cord wind ing around the rear axle draws dra M

turn around the axle and the wheels and the auto will run swiftly across the floor stopping stepping only when the weight rests against the floor or auto body or when the cord Is all unwound from the
