A pint of denatured alcohol is obtained, and an old phonograph record, which is broken up into many small pieces, is dropped into the alcohol. This can be done best in a fruit jar. The cap is screwed down tightly and the mixture al lowed to stand for a few days until the pieces of record have been thoroughly dissolved. The mixture is stirred well be fore it is used and is applied with a brush. The work must be dofie fast, as the paint dries rapidly, leaving & black film on the surface. Two coats are sufficient for any material. The application stiffens the cardboard considerably and produces a fine dull finish. One pint of the mixture will cover from 15 to 30 9q. ft., and some times more. * * * Rifle Range Target in Golf Net Improves Player’s Accuracy To teach accuracy in driving, a steel golf-practice nrt has been installed in a Los Angeles dub.

Tins j particular than had to, walk nearly 20 jj miles every day in order'to get through*! his round, which consisted of a very j scattered district indeed. After n f*w questions the novelist j ascertained that the postman had do- j livered letters on the saiqe round for. I over fifty years, excepting during a fortnight’s holiday each year. “Oh,”' exclaimed the novelist, "what a change a fortnight'* holiday in the year must be for you after your tedious work, tell rue how do you spend it T “Well,” answered the postman, "haV-, iug almost nothiug to do at home, f’ go the round with the other uran.” 1 Conscience Drives lifeTS^.
