CHINESE PEACE STICKS IS A HOPPING GOOD GAME
I
Here's a game from China a
great favorite with the almond-eyed
lads for many years.
Lay ten sticks or lathes in a row
in front of each player. At the
signal "Go I" the players start
hopping over the sticks on one foot
When a player has hopped over the
last stick, he picks it up and throws
it away, then without putting down
his other foot, starts back again. At
the beginning of the row, he picks
up the last stick and throws it
away, and so goes back and forth
until the last stick is gone.

Beware Poison Ivy
. The changing of the plants from
the green of summer to autumnal
colorings of brilliant reds and yel
lows will take many people to the
woods to gather briKht-Colorcd
specimens. One of the first plants
to respond to the change of season
is the poison ivy.
Poison ivy usually grows as an
erect, low shrub, varying in height
from a few inches above the ground
to two feet, or if it be of n climb
ing nature, it will ascend trees to
considerable hciRlits. The poison
ivy always has three leaflets and
late in the summer it bears clusters
of vhite fruits. It is by these that
one may distinguish it from the
Virginia creeper, with which it is
often confused. The Virginia
creeper has five leaflets and purple
black berries.

which ovorr boy aboula know who waou
to laam to pUr football right.)
A football team without a for
ward pass cannot hope -in these days
to win games. Every team should
have a good passer who has speed
and accuracy.
For the forward pass the ball
should be gripped in the palm of
the hand with the fingers extended
around it, and clamped over the
lacing. The thumb should be
stretched around as far as possible
to the other side-lace. The little
finger should come up to a point
about the middle of the ball. All
the others should be behind it, well
spread out so that they may be used
in throwing the ball forward.
AflPT tflff hall hilfl Km.ii rirnnnrlw
placed in the right hand it should
be carried straight back over the
right shoulder to a point about a
foot behind the shoulder and about
head high. Then it should be
passed forward directly over the
shoulder, fingers pulling downward
to make it spiral.
The passer should try to make it
easy for the receiver bv throwing
the ball as easily as possible, so that
it falls into his arms instead of
shooting into them. In order to
Kerfect this he must throw the ball
igher, which requires more skill.
Such a pass is a great deal easier to
catch than a low, fast pass, and is
also harder to block or intercept.
