Will you do 2 You can to make her feel at home? "Indeed we will," chorused Elsa and Jean, cheerily. Outside the Director's office, how- ever, they looked glum as they talked over their new roommate. - They really didn't want a third girl in their room. "It doesn't look like the home of a mi , , anyhow," said Jean. "We'll have to change it some to make it Hke home for her." "And we'll have to change some of our ways, too, I suppose,' added Elsa. The new irl, named Marie, was rather pretty, though shy. Elsa and Jean tried to entertain her as they believed a missionary's daughter should be entertained. There were long, uplifting conversations, lengthy religious readings. Still the new girl seemed almost afraid. The two were somewhat relieved, therefore, when they received a notice that Marie was to change her room that week. "Well," said Jean wearily, "at least no one can say that we didn't try to please her." The afternoon that Marie moved, Francis Martin, who worked part time in the Director's office, met Elsa and Jean in the main hall. "I see you are yotir new roommate," ghe said. 'She gave the funniest reason, too. Said she couldn't stand living with a couple of such studious young mis~d sionaries. Knowing you giris--" "But--but--she's a missionary's daughter herself!' "Missionary nothing! Didn't the Director tell you? She must have for- gotten. That other girl didn't come." This is the fourth Another one next week. "Triple Shower" Of all the tricks that are described in the ten lessons of "Easy Juggling" the "triple shower' is the hardest to do. But don't let that discourage you. With practice you can do the stunt. Take a ball in your right hand, which i§ your "starting hand" in all Juggling if you are right-handed. Toss the ball into the air so that it curves over and drops to the left hard. But its course should not be the are of the balls In the '"'wheel" described in our last lesson. Instead,' the ball should be tossed so that it does not start falling till it is almost directly over the left hand. Note the course of the ball in 1. Toss the ball from the left hand to the right. Usually, if a person is right-handed it is more difMoult to con the ball with the left hand than it is with the right; at first, that is. Practice enables you to control perfectly with your left. Work In Second Ball The next step 1s to work in the sec- ond ball. At this point you will see the stunt is called a "shower" The paths of the balls cross. Take one ball in the right hand. We will call it A ball. The other ball, in the left, is B ball. Toss A up first. Just as it 1s about to fall to the left hand, toss B up. The balls will be in the position shown in figure 2. B ball will cross the course of A. The balls should be thrown up about fwo feet. When A is caught in the left B ball will be at the highest its course, and about to drop right hand. Toss A up again, it follow B's course. When A reaches the highest point of its path, B will have landed in the right hand. It or Pi PFN / A | 3 di FIGIL should be tossed up immediately to make way for A. You'll have to speed up consider- ably when you work in the third ball. For the sake of giving yourself more time to shift your hands throw the balls higher into the air--three feet. When starting with three balls, hold two of them, A and B, in the right hand. The third ball, C, 1s held in the left. The first ball tossed up 1s A. It takes the path of the ball in figure 1. Speed Is Necessary 'When A is about to fall to the left hand, toss up C, making it cross A's course underneath (figure 3). Catch A ball in the left hand. By the time ball C has reached the highest point of its path, toss up ball B, making it follow the course of A. Catch C In the right hand. Catch B in the left. Now, instead of balls A and B being in the right and C in the left, as they were at the start, their positions have been transposed. Shift A and B back to the right hand and C to the left, Repeat the pass. Keep on until you can pass the balls continuously. This is the last of the ball-tossing stunts in "Easy Juggling." In our next lesson I shall tell how to fuggle long objects, such as sticks, bottles, or Indian clubs.

PERHAPS A FROZEN GASOLINE PIPE v 8. O. writes: My car stood out during a very cold evening, but the | engine started all right and"ran for about two minutes, when it stopped and I could not get it going again, although I tested the spark and had a full tank of gas. I had to have it towed three miles to a garage, but when I went there the next day, the engine started im- mediately, kept running ani has not bothered since. What caused this $rouble and is it likely to come on again? Answer: Here is a possible ex- planation. Water, somewhere in the fuel line, became ice, while the car was standing, thus preventing further flow to the carburetor. The engine when started, operated only until the gasoline in the carburetor bowl became exhausted. When the car was garaged, the ice In the fuel line melted and the gasoline supply to the carburetor was re- established. Probably you have not exposed the car to cold to the same extent since, but we advise you carefully to drain all parts of the 1 fuel system of collected water, and thus avold further experiences of a similar kind. ------ | ALCOHOL-WATER FREEZING ' POINTS E. S. D. writes: I notice that | authorities differ as to the freezing | points of alcohol-water mixtures. What are the facts as to this mat- | | | | | ter? | | Answer: The differences in the tables given by reliable authorities | may be accounted for by the fact | that one may give the temperatures at which ies crystals just begin to | form and another may give those | at which all of or a large propor- | tion o! the water present has | crystatized into ice. A table re- | cently given out by the Bureau of | Standards Quotes the following Fahrenheit temperatures for the commencement of ice formation in | mixtures containing' the following percentages of denatured alcohol, 10% +27; 20% +19; 309% +10; 409% --2; 609% --18. Thess tempera. tures range from 3 degrees at the warm end to 16 degrees at the cold end higher than the 8. A, E. figures and are very conservative, but it is believed that the 8. A. E. freezing points are perfectly safe to use so far as the danger of bursting sadiators, etc,, is concerned.

Lay it up for the winter and drive, in perfect comfort, a Ford Coupe or Sedan. Winter driving is treacherous -- and costly. It takes its toll in big repair bills and frequent "break downs." The Ford in winter days, will not only go where your big car cannot but it will take the drifts and icy ruts with less effort, less strain and far less wear and tear, PUT the big car up for the winter. Drive a Ford--as many prominent poste are doing--all through the hard winter months. tit take the hard knocks--Ilet it stand out in stormy weather; let it "buck" the drifts-- and be- hind the closed windows, drive all winter in comfort.
