whittle one end down to a handle;
then take the child that needs the
curfew and bend bim over a barrel.
Now take the piece of siding in tho
hand and use it for a clapper. Put
it on hot. Divide the strokes ev
enly and see that none miss. Good
for a boy or girl up to the agi ol
sixteen, and applications are war
ranted to cure the most severe ta8
of street loafing that exists. The
music this curfew makes is finer
than singing 'where is my wander
ing boy tonight?' "
