In the success of a magazine is the enthusiasm of 
its readers. In the past many new names have been 
added to our list as a result of the enthusiasm of our 
subscribers, hence we have evolved a plan by which Holidays 
they may be benefited in return for the aid they give 
us in increasing the circulation of “American Homes

Simply send us the names of the people whom you 
think will be interested in “American Homes and

the names sent to us, we will extend the subscription 
of the person who sent us the list for four months. 
Thus if we receive three new subscriptions from 
any list we will extend the subscription of the person 
who sent us the list for a full year. 
Always be careful to write your own name and 
address on each list you send us. Send as many 
names as you wish, the more names you send us the 
larger the number of subscriptions we will probably 
receive and consequently the longer will be the period 
for which your personal subscription will be extended.

school. They form a mysterious Egyptian society, whose object is to emulate 
the resourcefulness of the ancients. Their Chief Astrologer and Priest of the 
Sacred Scarabeus is gifted with unusual powers, but his magic is explained so 
that others can copy it. Under the directions of the Chief Engineer, dams. 
bridges and canal-locks are constructed. The Chief Admiral and Naval Con- 
structor builds many types of boats, some of which are entirely new. The
