Young artists, not gaining distinction

quote as showing that mastery per-

celebrated Japanese artist Hokusai
wrote about himself: Prom the age Of

A party of chauffeurs We're walking

picked up handful of sand and said
Why is it that one beach is firm

it, The sand i'll your hand answers
that question" the second chauffeur
replied. See how 1ue it is" The
sand WAS, indeed, as fine as dust, as
fine as taleum powder. The finer Il
sand is the more closely it will pack
and, by consequence. the hrmer sur
face il will offer. went on the second
chauffeur. This fine sand here makes
Il roadbed many feet in depth--a road
bed YOU couldn't pack more closely If
you rolled it hundred years with Il
hundred ton roller. Study the sand at
Long Branch or Asbury Park. 1t is
prettler than thi, 1t is made Of sep
arate grains that YOU can readily dis
tinguish. Each is perfect cube, white
or black or red-a beautiful clear col
ored shape that it is a pleasure to look
at. Each is about fifty times bigger
than the Cape May grains; hence the
sand of Asbury Park or Long Branch
won't pack down. won't make IL firm
roadbed. There is only one place III
the country where HE sand is finer
than at Cape May, and that place is

OF pure air In any case, pure air is
more to be sought than a high temper

This may be insured by proper con

perfect ventilation. The walls and

Another factor affecting the free
dom of Il pggery from moisture is
the material used in The construction
OF walls and floor. Wood. although not
very durable. is quite likely the best
suited for the walls. Cement blocks
or hollow cement walls are likewise
said to he very satisfactory Wooden
floors are Il constant source of annoy

which they wear out and the prac-

An effective system OF ventilation is
