It was nearing the Fourth of July and Tommy, Billy, and I went to Ohinatowrn to' get some fireworks. When we came home we took our 1:-ackages to Tommy's house to leave 'till the Fourth. Of course, we had to exam-'ne our supplies, so we opened each package and in one we found some fuses. Then Tommy lit a punk just to See if it was any good, Immediately it began to sputter. Siame of the sparks flew into the pile of fire- works, and off went all our tre-asures, To say the least, it 'was the most unusual display of fireworks I have ever witnessed. Fire crackers were bursting to right and left, pinwh-els spun h'ther and thither across the floor, skyrockets played tag under and on the couch, and some made a bee-line for the curtains. Then, oh dear, the bombs caught fire and burst with la dull boom, sparklers were showering stars, while the Ro- man canfdles splendidly sent up their balls of red, green and gold light, I rushed to the garden and w'th- out ceremony dragged the hose into the house, while -at the doors and windows, the amazed neighbors stood looking in. Fortunately no serious harm was done to the house and furniture. We had enaugh Hre- works for one week so when Fourth of July actually came we spent a quiet day. Gigli AN ENTERTAINING INVENTION Patricia Stanley A-8. To my mind a very great and bene- ficial invent'on is the diving suit. Wihe-n we -think of all the things we can learn and gain -by it, we can appreciate its value. Through it mil- lions -of do'lars of treasure lost by early Splanish and English adven- turers have been located. We can locate and recover valuable cargoes of sunken ships, The fines-t pearls and coral and also best sponges can be secured and important repairs on cables can be done with much less trouble and expense than otherwise. Strangest and most wonderful sea cre.a.ures and sea plants can be brought to lght and given over to science. lnclced, 'there are sfo many wonderful things that can 'be done by the diving suit that we can not name them all. -Some day we may know the ocean as we.l as the land, Wlho knows? Anyway, we are ap- parently coming to it 'by the aid of the diving suit and are grateful for its help, --.-.Q....1... A BOY'S DAY Sigmund Kurtz, SA, When a boy reaches the age of thirteen or fourteen his lheafd is in a wh rl wiith wireless, school, base- ball, Boy S-couts, parties, hikes and a hundred things more. As soon as he arises in the morn- ing he hears the strident call of the woodpile, Then there are a long string of errands which allows him just fifteen minutes to get to school where he spends five hours at the rockpile of knowledge. After school comes more errands and jobs from which he is at Last re- l'eved by the c-all of supper, When the dishes are cleared away then comes the best time of the boy's day. He draws up a nice easy chair by the warm cheerful fire, and down from the shelf comes a boy's book, On, Joy! he may travel with Jimmy May to Florida, or dig buried treasures with Tom lSawyer, or tramlps the snow covered regions with Connie Morgan or go up' the Amazon with High Benton or split h s sides laughing -over Penrod and Sam,
