Making the robot requires a lot of work, but it is worth the effort to create a real sensation at a party, and assuredly this mechanical man will be the talk of the community.

You will have plenty of fun with the smoke-belching robot, which may be equipped with as many fun-making gadgets as you can devise.

In making the robot, the frame must, of course, be fitted to the wearer, and should be made as large as possible to permit freedom of movement.

The helmet, collar, coat with sleeves, and the legs are separate units for ease in putting on and taking off. The sleeves are made up of cardboard tubes with rubber joints. They are supported at the shoulder on a curved piece of sheet iron as shown. The wearer draws on the legs with shoes attached and adjusts them to his belt. Next he gets into the coat through the open back, which is attached by means of screw eyes in slots, a quarter turn locking each. An amusing feature will be a crank at the back, operating a holiday rattle on the inside. On the front of the coat other devices can be installed, such as radio dials, ammeters, push buttons, etc. The last could be made to sound a real buzzer, with a flashlight battery fastened to the frame of the coat inside.

The tent costume is a frame worn in the same way as the alarm-clock and covered with unbleached muslin.

It is light, roomy and well ventilated.

When not moving about, the entire weight rests on the floor.

Insert a panel of mosquito netting as indicated to permit sufficient visibility.

For the alarm-clock framing, use 3/4 or 1/2 in. white pine, and cover with heavy cardboard, cutting an opening at the tp for the head, and another at the bottom which is large enough to pass over the entire body.

The frame is provided with shoulder straps for comfort.

Give the clock a coat of ivory brushing lacquer and paint the numerals in black.

Hands are cut from plywood and also painted black.

The alarm bell is made from a cardboard disk having a number of V-cuts as shown. When the edges are drawn together and fastened with heavy gummed paper on the inside, the correct shape will be formed.

The bell is fastened to the wearer's head by means of the crown of an old derby.

The Roman gladiator costume is also great for Halloween.

The helmet is the crown of an old derby hat surmounted with a curved wooden crest and ostrich plumes.

The crest is scroll-sawed from 3/4 in. white pine and tacked from the inside. Drive in large headed tacks through a strip of reinforced cardboard.

A convincing coat of mail is made by sewing scales of gilt paper on an undershirt, the scales overlapping each other. Sew on paper or leather epaulets, and make a belt of red and black oilcloth.

The skirt should be an accordion-pleated one with a red hem.

The simplest costume is that of the baby, and at the same time it is extremely effective, because it will completely disguise the age and sex or anyone. The flesh-tinted cheesecloth covering for the face rounds the mature contours into those of a child, and while the wearer can easily see and breathe through the cloth, the other guests cannot penetrate the disguise.

Use white cheesecloth and give it the lightest flesh tint with commercial dye. When dry, stretch over the features and knot at the back, as shown. Then paint in eyes, eyebrows, nostrils and mouth with water colors, giving a touch of rouge on the cheeks. Brush the natural hair back to permit a high forehead, attach a blond curl of false hair and cover the head with a frilly cap tied under the chin.

Two girls give this, wearing a costume made as follows:

• Make a white cloth sack, like a pillow slip, but rounded off at the upper corners to slip over the head, coming down to the shoulders.
• Around the bottom of this gather a white cloth skirt, reaching below the knees, trimmed with black.
• The arms are kept down close to the sides, under the skirt.
• Make holes for the eyes and mouth, marking around the eyes with black crayon.
• Mark around the mouth with red.
• On the head sew hair of strips of black cloth, having a long braid in front of each shoulder.

When they come onto the stage they keep faces to the audience, moving forward and slightly sidewaise; when leaving the stage, back off, making several bows.  This does not give a back view and reveal the fact that there is no hair on the back of the head.

Singing should be spooky, and the singer under the cloth will make it so.

Tune: There's Music in the Air

We are not ghosts or goblins,

Neither are we elves or sprites;

We are the Goofy Goblins,

Out to see the mystic sights.

We have heard of Hallowe'en

Many thrilling forms are seen,

And the Goofy Goblin pair

In the revels wish to share.

2nd verse:

We thought you'd like to meet us,

'Cause we are so cute and gay;

We often help the sad folks

Drive their gloom and cares away.

Neither witch nor seer are we.

Yet we often prophe-sigh.

And we swear by our right feet,

(bring right feet down with a stomp)

You'll all live until you die.

3rd verse:

Beware of naughty witches

Sneaking 'round on Hallowe'en,

For they and their big black cats

Often get to acting mean;

But the Goofy Goblin two

Only good will bring to you,

And a sight of us, folks say,

Will drive rheumatiz away.

(bow proudly)

Tune: "Twinkle, Little Star"

1st verse:

Welcome, welcome Hallowe'en,

Welcome ghosts and witches mean;

Queer sounds wailing on the air,

Jack o' Lanterns ev'rywhere;

Tricks and charms for every one,

Hallowe'en is lots of fun.

2nd verse:

Through the shadows black bats fly,

In the forest hoot owls cry;

Lean ghosts in their robes of white

Scamper slyly through the night;

With hobgoblins everywhere

Little folks had best beware.
