“Oh, several of us can do that,” Katherine declared. “We’ve played ball with the boys. But now you’re getting close to what I was driving at. We’ll proceed to gather a supply of ammunition.”

“Oh, I get you,” said Estelle. “You mean——”
“Rocks,” cried Marie, getting the word in ahead of Estelle.
“That’s it,” Katherine admitted. “We’ll shower rocks at anybody that makes us any more trouble.”

“And a hard one,” Marion supplemented.
“I have another idea,” Helen announced, and everybody turned attention to her. “I have some heavy rubber bands in my grip. I always carry them because they come in very handy sometimes.”
“What can you do with them?” Estelle asked.
