NOVEL CLUBHOUSE
BUILT IN TREE Eight American boys recently decided that they needed a club-house. They wanted their club to be something removed from the commonplace, so they racked their brains in search of an idea which would give their headquarters distinction.. Finally they decided to put it up in a tree. So they scoured the neighbourhood for odds and ends of lumber and dragged thorn to a selected spot where several trees were so located that they offered a good natural foundation for the building. They first made a sturdy platform, its ends supported by the trees. This was used for the floor of their house. With no more worries about floor or foundation, it was not so difficult to erect the walls and nail down the roof. The structure is furnished with a stove, oil lamp and chairs. The job was completed in a month.
