Briefly the boomerang is so shaped that the air resists one part of it more than, another, o that it has to travel in a curved path after its speed has slowed down below a certain rate. As it travels in a curve it more or less comes back to the place from which it started. start-ed. It is interesting to know that it hai been brought to perfection amotif til natives of Australia, who are almost al-most the lowest race of mankind. Dear Miss Drools : Can you tell me why Boston is called the Hub of the universe? Thank you. LOTTIE, Parowan, Utah. Oliver Wendell Holmes, himself a Bostonian, said in satire that the Bostonians thought the dome of the state house was the centre of the earth, and that Boston therefore mu3t be the Hub. It might be added that Boston-iansMiave Boston-iansMiave a well grounded reason for i being proud of their city. Boston has I always been a leader in great move- ! ments. When only a small town Har- I vard, the oldest college in the United ' States was founded there. The best in music, art and literature are also. j found in this city. Hope to hear from you again. . ! Dear Miss Brooks : Can't you suggest a name that wouli I be appropriate for a jolly club of I girls which lee are organizing? We are all young girls, none over eighteen, j and are simply out for a good time j we 'mill tell jokes, play games, male j candy, and enjoy ourselves. We thought of "The Aint We Cot Fwt j Club," but it is most too long and j slangy. Please tell us something ap- j propriate. I THE BUNCH. Paysm. I think for a jolly club of girls ! which you describe, the name "Mine- J haha,"meaning, as you no doubt know, j "Laughing Waters," would be very ! pretty and appropriate. What do you I think? j Miss Helen Brooks : Please tell me vhal tribe of Indians the Indian head on our Buffalo nickel represents, if any. F. J., Payson, Utah. It was James Fraser who made the design of the Buffalo nickel. The head is a composite made from five different models, and is the sculptor's ideal of an American Indian. Before the work on the relief was even begun portrait busts were made from each of the models, then portrait reliefs. This means that ten distinct portraits were completed before our new coin design was started.

Dear Miss Brooks: I am going to write and ask Vou help me and I do hope my letter Won I find the Waste basket. Miss Brooks, what can a girl do to have friends like the other girls and be popular? All the other girls that I know here have boy friends and are always going out with them for auto rides and to shows and parties, etc., but it seems I never am asked to go anywhere, and the other girls make fun 6f me. . They say it is because I am loo cold and call me a prude, and that if I would warm up a little I could have friends, too; but Miss Brooks, my mother always told me it was not right for a girl to let the boys kiss and hug her because if she did she would always be sorry when the right man came along. ..My mother died a year ago, and it is so hard to have no one to go to. Father doesn't seem to understand and I have no sisters. Do please tell me what to do. ALONE, Idaho Falls. My dear little girl, I surely would like to be of help to you because 1 know just how hard it is for you to see your girl friends enjoying themselves them-selves while you must sit alone for the reason that you want to live up to the dear mother's teachings and not allow the boys to take liberties. There is only one thing you can do, and that is to continue to be the dear sweet girl I am sure you are, and though you may miss out, in these temporary pleasures, one of these days a boy will come along who will appreciate your unspoiled sweetness because his mother will have taught him as yours has taught Jjou that it is worth while not to play at the game of love. You will be like a peach fresh picked from the tree, while these other girls will have all the bloom rubbed off. Be jolly and gay with others, and I'am sure you will find before long that there are boys who appreciate the girls who do not care for hugging parties. Write me again when you feel like it. My Dear Miss Brooks: We have a new arrival in our fam-'b fam-'b -the first, and we are so proud. He is the dearest little boy you ever saw, and has dark hair and eyes like his daddy. We just can't think of :i name good enough for him. Won't you please tell us a few that you like ? A name is something that has to be carried all through life and we want to get something that he will lil(e, too. Thank you so much for your trouble PERPLEXED, Pocatello. How happy you must be with the new little life to take care of. I don't wonder you want a nice name, and I'm goinS to tell you the ones that are really my favorites, but of course tastes are so different that one cannot' tell what will suit some one else I like them short, don't you? Frank Carl, Kent, Shirley, Kenneth,' Alan Uwenj Do you like any of these? And I think the custom of naming a child after the mother's maiden name it it is appropriate, is a very nice one I hope this may be of help to you, and kiss the darling baby for me.
