N..C ;' Dear Sir: A certain paint manu facturer advertised " Waldorf-Astoria painted throughout with my "paint" A part of the basement was so paint ed; not satisfactory; painted Devoe next time. ' There's a certain paint a big con cern, very proud and ambitions, that hated to see so big a Job of another paint; so It went for that business. That former point waa about two thirds not paint but this proud and ambitious paint was only about one third not paint It succeeded in get ting a trial: 25 gallons, 5 kits of S gallons each. When the painter had used ..one kit, he called the manager; not satis factory; 4 of the kits returned. A paint one-third not paint is not good enough to displace Devoe. . - This was several yeare ago. That proud and ambitious paint is better now; It is nearer honest;, it isn't short-measure at all and only 15 per cent adulterated.

In the second place they suggest a closing of all low dives and brothels where the vagrant tramp, and idle negroes consort and where their imaginations they being peculiarly a race of Imagination and emotion are Inflamed by whisky, co caln, and lewd pictures.

CC.'I'j t l..: L....:.l l'Ossihle l.Vll.f fur Future Dlinluibh ing 'Supply of High Grade -..a Hard Wood. " - No set of men appreciate the se riousness of the timber supply ques tion more than those engaged in the manufacture of furniture and surely no Industry is better prepared to meef'the condition of the lumber mar ket than they . Furniture manufac turers have realised tor some years that a pinch in the hard wood mar ket is sure to come and they have sue ceeded admirably In coping with the situation by the economical- use of material by the practice of veneering, and the- successful imitation of the highest price hard-woods, at the same time keeping up the standard of their product -:, -Y V;. ",: During the last tew years the great increase In the price of hard-woods used in ffte manufacture of furniture, has created a strong demand tor wood which can be used in imitation of blsh-priced hard-woods. The " two woods that are most often successful ly imitated are mahogany and oak DSrtienlarlv the Quartered oak in the golden and darker finishes. - Almost without exception, the manufacturer markets these imitations either as im itations or under some" registered trade name, and does not pretend to -deceive his customers. -Tor imitating mahogany, cherry was formerly , used, almost entirely but the diminished supply and the Increased price of thla . wood , have lead the manufacturers to . seek wood-which would lend itself more readily to the stain than cherry and, at the same time, show the grain and hold, the gloss. For these reasons, birch,' especially curly blrchl maple, beech; and gum, are- extensively used for all parts of furniture. Even In the" better grades of mahogany furniture,- birch and maple stained to a majg.gany finish are often used for the posts and frames, while genuine mahogany ,Iu the form of veneer is used for panels, tops and rolls, - - In making Imitation quartered oak almost any wood can bb" used,' since in this " case, ' the original grain ' of the wood Is first covered with a "fill er" and then the quarterljig Is print ed on in dark ink by the impression of actual quartered 4ak rollB orr'by a transfer from quartered dak pre pareL by special -' processes. , The kinds w wood commonly used for this work,' are, birch, niapte, poplar, and plain sawed oak. After the wood has been finished and polished, the imitation appears so real (bat only an expert can detect the difference. There are certain woods used in furniture construction which are ex tremely expensive, owing to. the dif ficulty of obtaining pieces with a good grain of sufficient size for working Such a wood for Instance is Circas sian wslnut . This wood which comet from the Ural Mountains is largely used in the form of veneers for cjialr backs, panels, bnd tops in bed room suites, table tops, etc.; the balance of the piece of furnlturebelng conipoi ed -either of American or black wal nut (natural finish) or of satin wal nut commonly known as red gum. This red gum, While. It .does not often show the beautiful grain of the panel Is so near the color of plain Circas sian walnut, that only close scrutiny can detect the difference In the wood Ine Ar.iir.al and the Hunters Were Al T-:tn ty Surprise.

On Wednesday afternoon aud again at night a number of the parents--of the school children met with the teachers and the superintendent, In the High School building, to talk over questions concerning the pupils the school, and the home.. Mr.- Craven explained briefly the necessity for Intelligent co-operation ' on the part of the home with - the ' school for anything like satisfactory results. Somewhat In detail he ex plained some of the conditions for - study as, he-sees It bodily, health ' and comfort; pure food and fresh air; freedom from noise and confusion; 1 time and place tor study; regular hours for study, exercise and sleep. The school furnishes the above con- -i ditlons but the homeln many" In stances does not and therefore the . result upon the child is hurtful. While he discussed to an extent theother phases of the conditions for study, Mr. Craven dwelt particularly on two . of them: regular hours for study, aud a place free from noise tv-'i r.fus--" lonTTThe habit Of tryiti;; to t' ty a round the sitting room rirfc ...t oou versation ' and music- going on e'raiiJj- means little or no real real study :n . the part of the child, and he cannot be blamed when progress Is not made . under such conditions. Studying to gether or in crowds at a neighbor's is also a farce, and to be condemned. Thinking educates and nothing else r does, it is personal and no one can do- it for another. Studying is think- ' , lng and one must study" hlone and for himself. - - - - , Mrs. C. L.
