You Can Do !
To Tell a (lard
Ask a person to *elect any
yard from, a deck and have him
place it on the top of the deck.
Then ask him to cut the cards.
You then look at all the cards
lend then quickly throw out the
one that was selected. This is
bow it is done: Notice card at
bottom of the deck before start-
ing the trick. The card selected
will follow this card.

Vanishing Card
Performer shows a pack of
cards in case, He seemingly with-
draws the deck, announces he
will magically make a card leave
die deck invisibly. He requests
that five cards be drawn, These
cards are placed face down on
the table so no one sees them.
Performer now picks them up
and asks someone in the audi-
ence to write down their names
as he calls them off, After the
Cards are listed, he puts them
In the deck. Someone now looks
through the deck attempting to
end these five selected cards.
Only four are found in the deck.
Performer then opens the case
in which the cards came . . .
the missing card is found to have
left the pack and gone back to
the case. This is how it is done
When the performer withdrew
pack from the case, all he did
was to leave one card in it, sec-
retly knowing its suit and de-
nomination. When performer
Leads the names of the five
cards, in place of one of the
actual cards really selected, he
mentions the name of the card
which has been secretly left in
the case. *
Card Pass
Hold a pack of cards in the
left hand, between the thumb
alnd the second, third and fourth
lingers, the first finger being at
the end of the pack, with the
nail inserted where you wish to
:make the pass. The right hand
now passes toward the pack
(with the "thumb underneath)
end as it does so the first lin-
ger of the left hand pushes down
the lower half of the pack into
the right hand, where it is in-
stantly palmed and replaced on
top of the right half. This may
sound rather complicated, but
after a little practice it is quite
easy. * * *
Red and Blacks
One of the .most amusing of
all card tricks can be done with-
out practice, and without slight
of hand. This is known gas Reds
and Blacks. Before doing the
prick, separate all the red cards
into one pile and all the black
cards into another. Now put
r
us.

thein together. Ask someone to
note whether it is drawn from
the top or bottom part of the
pack. Now, after looking at the
card, have it replaced in the
deck. When it is replaced make
sure that it is put in the oppo-
site part of the deck from where
it was taken. Obviously if a red
card was taken, .it will be found
in the blacks, and if a black
card •among the red.
* * *
The Card in the Glass
The performer shows an emp-
ty glass and then covers it with
a piece of newspaper. A card is
selected from the pack and af-
ter it is returned mysteriously
leaves the deck and appears in
the glass. This is how it is
done: Paste a piece of news-
paper on the pack of a duplicate
of the card you intend to force.
With a small piece of wax, stick
it to the back of the piece you
cover the glass with, with card
on under side. A little tap will
release it when it drops into the
bottom of the glass.
* * * • •
Telephone" Card Trick
Have a deck of cards shuffled.
Turn your back and go into an-
vther room. Have someone lay
the cards on the table in two
`rows, the bottom having one
card less than the top row. For
example; if ten cards are put in
the top row the bottom row
should have nine. Tell some-
one to take eight cards from the
top row (you may use any other
number) and then; take as many
cards from the bottom row as
there are left in the top row.
Then have the rest of the top
row taken away. The number
of cards left will now be seven.
The number of cards left will
always be just one less than the
number first taken from the top
row. This is one of the very few
card tricks you may perform
over the telephone. Call up a
friend and try it.
* * *
Mind Reading Trick
Get two decks with same
backs. Spread one deck face up
on a table so the sun light will
get at it for two days which
will turn the faces slightly yel-
low. Now have a bunch of cards
selected from one deck, ex-
change the decks and have the
cards returned to. the new deck.
You may easily locate and pick
outeachchosen card.
* * * •
Flower Stunt
Have a package of fifteen or
more spring flowers in clips. Al-
so a fish bowl or jar and a large
handkerchief. Show the hand-
kerchief and bowl. Pick up the
handkerchief with the flowers
under it. Drape it over the bowl
and release the flowers. Draw
the handkerchief off quickly and
the bowl is seen full of flowers.
* * ' *
Bill and "Anon Trick
Borrow three or four bills and.
place them in a paper bag. Burn
the bag. Have a lemon freely
chosen by a spectator. Cut the
chosen lemon open with a knife
and take gout the bills. This is
how it is done. Procure a one
pound, flat bottom, paper gro-
cery bag. In one side starting
an inch and a half from the top,
cut a slit about two inches long.
• Holding the opened bag with
the cut slit at the back, borrow
a few bills and fold them to a
quarter of their length. Place
them in the bag (pushing .them
through the slit into the palm
of the, other hand) and fold the
top over to close the bag. Now
set the bag on the front of your
table. Have a lemon chosen
from severalin a dish. Cut a
slot in the lemon ` to show it is
a real lemon. Show the .lemon
on all sides. Borrow a handker-
chief and place the lemon under
' it in the hand which contains
the palmed bills. Push the bills
into the slot in the lemon and
then lay the lemon on the table
with the slot' and bills at .the
rear. Pick up the paper bag
and crush .and burn it. Then
pick tip the lemon and cut it in
half and take out the bills.

How Can I?
By Anne Ashley
Q. What is a remedy for en- -
larged pores?
A. Mix 6 ounces of elder
flower water, Ye ounce eau de
cologne, 1 dram tincture, of ben-
zoin, 10 grains tannic acid, and
apply twice daily. Get the ap-
proval of your physician or
druggist before using.
Q. How can I' make the sur-
face of aluminum look like
new?
A. By pouring a few ounces
of vinegar in each aluminum
utensil. Heat it and then scour
the surface.
Q. How can I remove per-
spiration stains from garments?
A. By mixing one part of
oxalic acid to twenty parts of
water and applying with a
small brush.
Q. How can I prevent tearing
when lossening the leaves of
head lettuce?
A. Cut out the core, place in
a bowl under the .cold water
faucet, and turn water on full.
The lettuce will loosen and can
be' easily pulled to pieces.
Q. How can I keep clothing
free from moths? '
A. The odor of branches of
the arbor vitae is very pleasant
and wholesome, and will keep
the clothing that is to be packed
away free of moths.
Q. How can I make a sub-
stitute for soap?
A. In an emergency, oatmeal
is an excellent substitute for
soap. Place a small quantity in
a . cheesecloth bag and wash just
as if using . a bar of soap.
Q. How can I clean willow
furniture?
A. Use a solution of salt and
water. Apply to furniture with
a stiff brush, scrub well and
then dry thoroughly. The fur-
niture will also last longer
through this method of cleans-
ing. •
Q. How can I bleach a straw
hat.that is badly sunburned?

phur.
Q. How can I make fried po-
tatoes a nice golden brown?
A. By sprinkling a little flour

Q. How can I test the fresh-
ness of an egg when purchas-
ing?

the quality or age of an egg.
Q. How can I remove stains
from the finger nails?
A. Squeeze one teaspoonful
of lemon juice into one cup of
warm water, dip the fingers in-
to it, and let them remain for
a few minutes. This will also
soften the cuticle.
What You'd Find on
The Planet Marrs
Seen through a telescope,
Mars is not so red as it appears
to the naked eye. One of the
best observers of it has compared
it to an opal in the diversity of
aspect that it shows to different
observers from different points
of view. No other planet has
been so subjected to controver-
sy over what appear., on its sur-
face. This is partly due to its
being the only planet whose
surface is without, doubt open
to our viev, and in a situation
where it can be minutely
studied, and partly to the fact
that the controversy involves
questions concerning life and
intelligence;• which are always
of intense 'human interest. Mat-
ters of this vital sort are never
accepted without dispute. That
is one way of getting at the
truth. In the intensity of the
discussion the question of the
existence of the phenomena and
that of the meaning ascribed to
thein are sometimes tlneces-
warily made to depend upon
each other. In the ease of Mars
it may well be that there is
less difference of opinion as to
what is really seen on its sur-
face than as to the meaning of
the phenomena.
There are recorded observa-
tions made of Mars as . early as
272 B.C., more than two thous-
and years ago, and it has been
nearly two hundred and fifty
years since the snow-caps were
first seen. Through the telescope
not only the snow-caps are
plainly visible at the proper
'seasons, but there are also vis-
ible dark patches over the sur-
face, showing a variety of color,
and in certain parts changing
somewhat as the seasons
change. It is one of these
patches, the outline of which
suggests a somewhat twisted
eye, that is known as the "eye
of Mars." The main surface of
the planet is reddish yellow in
color; the patches on it are vari-
ously described as gray, gray-
ish green, or blue, colors which
in combination could easily
HIGH JUMPER — Lt. Henry P.
Nielsen plans to make a 19 -mile
parachute jump next fall from
the •highest altitude ever reach-
ed by man. He plans to ascend
almost 100,000 feet over New
Mexico in a pressurized sphere -
:hoped gondola attached to a
giant plastic balloon. From there
he will make a free jump
through the thin air, opening
his parachute,,at J15,000 feet.
Nielsen is already co -holder of
the existing altitude record for
parachute jumps, 45,200 feet,
set in Novmeber, 1954.
take on a tone of any of them
according to the eye of the ob-
server.
The water is supplied by the
melting of the caps of snow at
the poles during Martian sum-
mer, the expanding of the lines
of vegetation seeming to oc-
cur at periods corresponding to
the time required for the water
of the . melting snow to reach
the oases, The pressure of this
vast sytem of artificial water-
ways covering' a large part of
the surface of Mars makes it
seem probable that "Mars is in-
habited by beings of some sort
or other," that these beings are
not men such as we know any-
thing about, but that "there
may be a local intelligence
equal to or superior to ours."
These conclusions concerning
what is seen on Mars are not
held by any one to be complete-
ly proved, but are thought by
their author to follow reason-
ably from the phenomena as
observed... .
It is pleasing, however, to
contemplate the idea of there
being on Mars, or on any other
planet, • an active • intelligence'
of any sort resembling what we
have here on earth, and it is.
not etrange that such a wide-
spread popular inteeest should
attach to Mars, in view of what
has been sugested by the mark-
ings on its surface. — :From

Traced By A Hair
A single hair can trap a mur-
dered, for no two persons have
exactly the same.
A hair can indicate the race,
sex, age, physical condition, and
sometimes the occupation of the
person to whom it belongs.
The hair of a white man dif-
fers in shape and structure from
that of a Negro or Chinese. By
its diameter, length and coarse-
ness it indicates whether it be-
longed to man or woman.
If the root is still adhering
it will show whether it fell out
or was torn out. The hair
readily shows whether the per-
son to whom it belonged had
taken a poison like arsenic.
Finally, hair will absorb li-
quids and gases with which it
comes into contact and will re-
tain the smell 'of fire, smoke
from coal, wood or leaf fires,
and even fog. It will retain fine
sawdust, metal dust, salt, soot
and other substances which will
show the occupation of the per-
son from whorn it came.
Sidney Fox, who was execut-
ed at Maidstone in April, 1929,
killed his mother to gain the
insurance and set fire to her
room to cover his crime. He
then raised the alarm and swore
that he had never entered the
room. He had a thick shock of
hair and suspicion was first at-
tracted to him when a woman,
seeking to console him, remark-
ed, "That boy's hair is full of
smoke!"
A classic case was the hold -
1 p of the Southern Pacific Ex-
press af Siskiyou Tunnel in Oc-
tober, 1923, when the engine
driver and guard and two other
men were killed by three bro-
thers.
A suit of overalls was found
and after examining them an.
expert said, "The man who
wore these overalls was left-
handed, a brown -haired lumber-
jack not more than 25 years old,
about 5 ft. 8 in. in height,
thick -set. He was clean-shaven
and had been working recently
in North West Oregon or West-
ern Washington among trees.
A hair or two on the over-
alls, some chips of wood in the
right-hand pocket, and stains
of wood pitch were the clues
from which this description was
deduced. Its absolute accuracy
trapped the killers.
