We will illustrate with the letter b The code reads L R R L. At night this would be flashed: light, then red, red again, then light. On the kite signal we would run up the light signal, then the red, red again, and then the light. Just so with the wig wag. The wig wag flag would be waved to left then two to the right then one to the left and back again to center. If we were spelling out B O Y, a little pause would be made after B had been signalled, then left, right, or light, red would be signalled, and after a slight pause again, the three reds or three waves of the wig wag flag to the right. A little longer pause between words and then the next word would follow.

Swings. A swing can be attached to the kite line by six suspension cords, [Fig. 178]. The boy in overalls is a pleasing figure, [Fig. 179]. The framework is of light kite sticks and the figure is cut out of light cardboard, but must be reinforced with light sticks across the body to prevent collapse. A stick across back of the arms and two down the legs from this will be sufficient. The sunbonnet baby is good, [Fig. 180]. The sunbonnet in white and the dress red with pink slippers is effective.
