A TOY ELEVATOR.
If there, is a kitchen porch to your
house, it will be easiest to build the
toy elevator to run from the ground
up to that porch, as ilfliBtrated in Fig.
1; and if you live, in an upper story
of an apartment building, yoUr ele-
vator can be made to run to A much
greater height, which, of course, will
be a great deal more fun.
Figure 2 shows a large detail of the
supports for the elevator cables aaA
guides. Cross strips A, B and C
should be 18 or 20 inches long, about
^ inches wide, and 1 inch thick. At a
distance of about 1 inch from one‘end
of strips A and B, screw a screw-eye
into one edge, and 8 inches from
these eyes screw a second screw-eye
(D, Mg. 2). Screw-eyes with ft-inch
eyes are large enough. A dozen of
these can be bought at the hardware
store for 5 cents. The elevator guides
are fastened to them. Besides the
screw-eyes you must have two clothea-

line pulleys. These will cost 5 cents
each. Screw one pulley into the edge
of strip B, half-way between the two
Bcrww-eyes D (E, Fig. 2), the other
into an edge of strip C at the same
distance from the end that you have
placed the pulley in strip B (F, Fig.
2).
Nail strip A to the porch post as
close to the ground as you can get it,
strip B to the same face of the same
poet, about 10 inches above the porch
railing, and strip C to the opposite
face of the post at the same height
as strip B. Nail these strips securely
so they will be firm.

other into the efact center of the top
of the box (H), to tie the hoisting

FIGURES—fAND FIGURES '
At the banquet given in Chicago
by the Brewers’ association to Mr.
Vopica, the newly appointed United
States minister to the Balkan States
and one of their own number, the
spe&kers^attempted to show np their
business as one of the financial props
of the country.
Among the statements made were
these: ,
1- The brewere own and operate
1.400 extensive plants, manned by 67,-
000 wage earners on whom 300,000 de-
pend for legitimate livelihood and sup-
port.
2. The brewers of thin country
have an Invested capital of $670,000,-
000, and the value of their annual
products is $375,000,000. They pay out
in wages and Salaries annually $63,-
000,000.
0. They use , annually $100,000,000
worth of grain and otidr materials.
Granting that these figures ere cor-
rect let us remember that the account
between tin nation and the brewers
has a debit as well as a credit side.

A PERTINENT QUESTION.
Under the caption "Alcohol Causes
Most Woe,” tie Chicago Tribune re-
cently culled attention to tie
report of tie court of domestic rela-
tions just given to the public. "Un-
impeachable figures, incapable o
mendacity,” It says, shows that tit
“demon rum” is the cause of 46 per
cent- of the breaking-up-of-family
cases. . f j ,■
The report advocates a law compell-
ing keepers of prisons and workhouses
to pay a portion of the earnings of de-
serters to their wives and children.
Why not urge a law which will reduce
the number of deserting husbands 46
per cent? As Jack London points ont
in his biographical story, “John Bar-
leycorn,’’ men drink because alcohol
Is everywhere “accessible.” Why not

ble' to the state? To a voting citiien
and a taxpayer this question seems
in order, and one that will not down
until satisfactorily answered.
LIQUOR AT A8BURY PARK,
Asbury park, where, in November#
the National W. C. T. U. held its
fortieth annual convention, has a resi-
dent population of 25,000, and more
than a million people visit the city
each summer. Its founder made In
every deed a restriction against the
manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquor, although as far as he knew,
there was not at that time another
seaside resort or incorporated town on
the American continent or in Europe
where in the deeds the sale of liquor
was prohibited. Croakers and timid
ones predicted that a total abstin-
ence seaside resort only fifty miles
from New York could never be a suc-
cess. The result has proved the con-
trary. Asbury Park is the social and
commercial center of the north New
Jersey coast
