[Illustration: Fig.2 Fig.3 The Stone Chipped into Shape]
The characteristic notches shown in the completed arrow, Fig. 3,
are chipped out by striking the piece lightly at the required
points with the edge of an old hatchet or a heavy flint held at
right angles to the edge of the arrow. These heads can be made so
that they cannot be distinguished from the real Indian arrowheads.

** An Opening Handle for a Stamp Pad [23]
A stamp pad is a desk necessity and the cleanliness of one depends
on keeping it closed when it is not in use. The opening and
closing of a pad requires both hands and consequently the closing
of a pad is often neglected in order to avoid soiling the fingers.
This trouble can be avoided if the pad is fitted with a small
handle as shown in the sketch. Take the ordinary pad and work the
hinge until it opens freely.
[Illustration: Handle on Cover]
If necessary apply a little oil and spread the flanges of the
cover slightly.
Saw off the top of a common wood clothespin just above the slot,
saving all the solid part.
