Lessons In Mystifying Hindu Magic Are Started By Wizardo "T"HE Mystery of the Hindu I Bands" and "The X-Ray Thimbles" are the two mystifying secrets in store for Wizardo Magic club members in today's lesson number one. Both of these clever stunts were performed for me by a Hin du mystic on a street corner in Bombay, India! Nearly everyone has heard of the famous "Hindu Rope Trick" and the amazing miracles performed by Hindu mystics and it was in the hope of learning some of their treasured secrets that I visited Bombay. My quest was not unrewarded. Walk ing through the streets one eve- ' ning, an ancient Hindu pulled me aside and, for a slight fee, ex plained the tricks in our lesson today. Jn teaching you magic I will follow this plan: First I will ex plain the "EFFECT" or how the trick will appear to your audi ence. Second, the "APPARATUS" or the materials you will need to make and perform the trick and, third, the "SECRET" written in our secret code so that only club members can find out how it's done. Is that clear? O. K., here we go! EFFECT: Magician displays three large bands of paper, about two inches wide and four feet around. Taking a pair of scissors, he remarks (the magicians' "pat ter," or what you are to say while performing each trick, will al ways be printed in blackface type) : "If 1 were to set a doughnut on end and slice it in half I would have two doughnuts. If I cut this band of paper around through the center, I will make two bands. Wouldn't it be nice if they made dollar bills in circles like these bands and we could all double our wealth?" AS YOU say this, insert scis sors in the center of one band and cut around it through the middle. When you finish, the band will separate into two separate bands. (See figure 1.) The magician now takes a sec ond band and cuts it in the same manner, saying: "In India, however, the natives have great respect for the old saying, 'A chain is as strong as its weakest link so when they cut their bands they work a little 'Hindu magic and join them to gether!" As you say this finish cutting the second band and to the sur prise of your audience, instead of falling apart in two -:parate bands as in the first case, they are mysteriously linked together.' (See figure 2.) Now pick up the third band and as you begin to cut it say: "Of course they aren't very modern in India, and some of the natives have never seen a chain bo aa they cut their bands they work a little 'rope magic' instead of 'chain magic and nine times out of ten this is what happens!" Finish cutting the third band and it falls apart forming one large circle. (See figure 3.) As you finish cutting each band. . nass it out among your audience for examination and try as they will, thev will be unable to solve this baffling mvstery. APPARATUS: All vou need for the prenaration of this trick is a long sheet of wraoping naper, about four feet in length. Tf you haven't any wrapping paner handy right now, use a niece of news paper to practice the trick with. Now get a pair of scissors, some clue, your secret code and here's the secret of the "Hindu Bands,1 SECRET: If you use newft naner ti nractice this trick with. I suggest that you paste two sheets toother so as to make the bands at least four feet in cir cumference. The larger the bands. th better the trick looks. Now, lay the naper flat on your table and cut three strins about tw". inches wide. Ymi are eoinc to BUFGO the ORVP of OPOFO FfiDFBF GIZ- OOnn to TT?NO iht VTTRYf?

You wiH now see why it is bet ter to have the bands as long as possible. If the bands are about four feet in length it is almost impossible for vour audience G1FOOGPO GJEFG. Magicians, performing this trick on the stage, make the bandB out of cloth, which is, I believe, the best method of working this trick. When you arrange your bands on the table before performing the trick, be sure to place them in the proper order in which you will use them for the trick. Now for trick number two, "The X-Ray Thimbles." EFFECT: Magician displays five ordinary thimbles. Four of these thimbles are the same size and large enough totfit over the fifth thimble. Placing the thimbles on a table, the magician explains that these thimbles are made out of "magic metal" and that it is possible for all magicians to see through them. To prove this, he requests, that while his back is turned, some member of the audi- ence hide the small thimble under neath anyone of the four large thimbles. When this has been done, the magician turns to the table and without touching the thimbles immediately points out the one covering the small thimble. This trick can be repeat ed several times without fear of detection. APPARATUS: Five ordinary thimbles is all you need to pre pare this clever stunt. If you haven't these thimbles at home, go to the dime store and pur chase four large size and one very small thimble. That's all you need and here's the secret: SECRET: Pictured above in figure four are the thimbles used in this trick. The secret lies in the YEYGP FTUSS GPETVSO JPEWP the audience PEXOF.

Summer Kitchen Problems Eased With Use of Assorted Cold Plates TO THE wife and mother in the home, hot weather presents many problems. It is too hot to stay in the kitchen and cook and yet the family must be fed. Meal planning is more difficult in the summer, because appetites lag a little and the family is a little harder to please. If we are wise we will cut our working time in the kitchen in the summer months to a minimum and we can easily do this, if we will get ac quainted with and use "ready-to-eat" meats. Science and thought have put on the market for us today many little cans and packages that eon tain good wholesome ready pre pared meats. Many of us house- wives have formed the habit of thinking of these small packages and cans of meat as suitable only for picnics and midnight suppers. There are decided advantages in buying these ready prepared meats. They come to us free of excess fat, the bone and gristle removed. There is a big variety of these meats from which to choose; there is corn beef, as well as corn hash, sliced dried beef, hamburger steak, tripe, roast beef, luncheon beef, boneless chicken, cooked brains, sliced smoked beef, veal loaf, beef loaf, ham loaf, ehil! eon carne, lamb tongue, Mexican style tamales, potted ham, potted tongue, potted chicken, deviled tongue, ox tongue and Vienna style sausage. There are numerous and unusual ways to serve these meats. Each and BASS a PUED I AG of your LIAD , and ZSAO a FPIDG BEOWO to the VIGGIT OXZO IYGPO FTUSS GPETVSO.

By Faay Fuller) By Jenny Reed Home Economics Editor every one can be served just as it comes, or for variety, it may be combined with other foods to make an appetizing dish. During the summer months, the house-wife should prepare as many one-dish meals as possible. The idea of the one-dish meal is to prepare and serve in ne dish a food that makes a complete meal. This means combining the meat and vegetables in one dish. This saves much dish washing. The ready-to-eat meats lend themselves beautifully to one-dish meals. Scalloped veal loaf is as delicious a meat dish as one could desire. To prepare this, butter a baking dish. Cover the bottom of the dish with a layer of cooked spaghetti. Dice the contents of a can of veal loaf and make a layer of it, then top with another layer of spaghetti Sprinkle one-half cup diced cheese over the top and moisten with a ean of tomato soup. Bake 20 minutes in a mod erate oven. Dried beef prepared encasserole with hard cooked eggs and a thin white sauce Is something that wsil piease the whole family. Apples stuffed with Vienna sausage and baked until tender is something new. Try stuffing green peppers and tomatoes with Vienna sausage or corned beef for a change, Co.'n beef made into patties and served with a hot meat sauce is good. Baked potatoes with veal loaf are good- To prepare them scrape Our Feathered Friends CJfei, .f .-7fn, 4-r CQQVmS By H. R.

Jellied tongue is one of the most popular of the ready-te-eat meats. It comes all prepared for slicing for the table. The tongue is beautifully molded n gelatine and when sliced and arranged on a platter with tiny molds of cur rant or crab apple jelly and garn ished with radishes or celery, it cannot fall to evoke praise from the entire family.
