A Proclamation

Transcending in value every Other
estate which people or an individ
ual may prize and hold dear is the
possession Of q thankful heart and q
hopeful spirit. In their train follow
peace and serene contentment; with
them abide happiness and comfort;
when adverse forces oppress US they
tighten the load and direct US through
the dark shadows: in time of anguish
they mellow the poignancy OF grief,
and through them we meet all obstacles
successfully.
As . means of giving expression
to nations gratitude and thankfulness
the custom of observing one day in
each year as Thanksgiving Day has
been established, and it is in acco r.
dance with this ususge and in har-
mony with the Proclamation OF the
President that hereby designate and
set apart Thursday, November 26,
1914, as q day Of Thanksgiving and
Of special prayer.
In these momentuous days, when SO
many OF the peoples of the earth have
entered the lists of battle, when our
sister nations are so enshadowed
by the reek of powder and aflame
with the fires OF war. it seems
especially fitting that all American
citizens should offer up to God heart
felt gratitude for the blessings Of
peace and prosperity which He has
vouchedsafed unto us, and let us de-
vouly pray that the early cessation
of hostilities may be effected and
peace once again reign over the world.
In testimony whereof, have here.
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal Of the State of
South Dakota, this tenth day of Nov
ember A. D. 1914, at the capitol in

means for producing of the most novel.
beautiful, economical and easily attained effects
ever obtained on any wood for interior trim. It's
extreme simplicity is of the chief factors in
its success. The only tools necessary are a gaso-
line torch, such as is used by plumbers painters
ordinary steel wire brush and small scrub
bling brush.
In selecting cypress for sug work, care should
be taken to that the wood is fiat grained, with
very little edge grain and that II is perfectly dry.
The only defects to be avoided splits, large
season checks and unsound knots On account of
the slightly uneven surface It Is difficult to glue
the edges of two boards together as may be done
with oak, mahogany ETC., and for this reason IL is
better to limit paneling to twelve or, preferably,
ten inches. Another reason is that it will take
huge logs to produce very wide boards showing
fat grain figure the full width.
The torch used should have as large and as
hot blue flame as possible, since speed in burn
ing the wood is important If the surface can be
charred 30 quickly that the heat does not go
through the board the result will be much better
and much time will be saved. The of two
torches at one time arranged handle so that
the flames are couple of inches apart, will also
facilitate the work.
Since the burning is for the purpose of coloring
the hard parts of the outer grain only, II is Inn
portant not to burn too deeply. II the charming is
carried too far the soft parts will be burned clear
through to the next hard grain and the effect will
not be nearly so good
The mill work should be done and the individual
pieces burned and brushed out before they are put
into place. because Of the tendency of the wood to
warp when subjected to the intense heat of the
gasoline fame-equaling about 1000 degrees.
Warping under such conditions Is perfectly natural
and unavoidable and need cause no worry. Wood
that Is considered absolutely dry still contains as
much moisture ordinary indoor atmosphere,
or about IL per cent. The heat has the effect OF
driving this moisture from the burned surface of
the wood through to the reverse side, thereby
causing shrinkage of face and a swelling
OF the other. The result is that the charred face
becomes concave and the other face convex. BY
setting the board aside Immediately after the
burning and allowing It to stand for two or three
days. II will re-absorb enough moisture TO balance
up with the atmosphere and thus straighten out
1t Is then ready for the rubbing process
It Is advisable to do the burning in narrow two
three inch strips the full length OF the board
rather than to start at the top and work over the
full width The one thing to avoid is overburn-
ing. The ultimate color effect is not controlled
nearly 30 much by the burning by the brush

New Colors in Modern Dress

Where the question OF womans dress is con-
cerned there is perhaps no more interesting fea-
ture than the study of color for year by year we
realize mere fully what immense scope there
is for artistic skill in this direction and what
real delight the production of beautiful color
schemes can be.
Look back through the past decades and notice
how greatly ideas this particular subject have
varied, says The London Globe" Early in the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries the dress of the
day more wonderful in its combinations OF
rich hues than at any other time. The Renais
period brought with it the use of puppies
and reds, and lovely tones of green and brown
that lavishly used for the fur-edged and be-
jeweled robes of the great ladies and the embroid
cred doublets of the gentlemen, while from Italy
came the exquisite brocades and stamped velvets
that were manufactured in Florence and Venice
more beautiful in color and design than any ma
terial that had ever before been seen, and which
with all our modern knowledge we still CODY
faithfully and find as lovely anything of pres
entday workmanship.
Later came the delicate silks and satins of
Georgian days, with new tones of mauve blue and
pink that originated in France. and the combina-
ton of all kinds Of soft shades especially grays
and dull blues, that for over hundred years held
their place In favor with both men and women.
Eventually there arrived the early Victorian
era, with its crude tones of red green and yelows
and the use of much black and the weaving of
dress materials that are almost an eyesore to
twentieth century notions but to which all the
same we are indebted for much that we admire
today.
The post-impressionism OF the art world is re.
sponsible for many of our color schemes today
just as the pre-Raphaelite school originated the
cult of red hair and the green and clinging gown
We clothe ourselves according to the latest no
lions that advancing civilization brings in its
train. and chop and change from one theory to
another until one can only wonder what next"
and wait with mild establishment for the latest
freak of fashion.

Have Pretty Shoes.

Women should be as particular
about their footgear as they are about
the way they wear their hair. The
question is in many ways as impor-
tant. 1t Is so negligent TO wear dingy
shoes, especially as there is no excuse
for il II the shoes are kept in trees
when not being worn from the time
they are first bought they will keep
their shape. II is too often the case
that shoes become creased after they
have been removed from the feet.
Even the poorest girl can afford a
ten-cent bottle or box Of polish to keep
her shoes black. The minute the
heels begin to wear down they should
be taken to the shop to be straight
ened These are simple points, yet
they make all the difference in the
world to the appearance of a girls

His following weeks experience
with that dollar he found to be quite a

when he had handled all his wages
himself. So on the following Saturday
night he reversed things. giving Bird

OF artistic delight But the supply of driftwood
limited and its evolution from fresh wood
through the action Of the sun and the sea covered
long period of time Then it occurred to them
that the thing to do to find a way to hurry
the process to gain the same result by other
methods-in other words, to produce artificial
driftwood
Finally they discovered that charred wood with
the char brushed out. left the same result as
erosion by the sea-and thereupon was born the
"sugthnish."
Just how 1t was done only the Japanese them
selves knew, and they couldn't be coaxed or
bribed into divulgng the secret For long time
1t the general impression that the work was
done with acids and that the secret lay in the
knowledge of when and how to stop the action OF
the acids.
Finally an American the noted Oriental scholar
and traveller, John 8. Bradstreet of Minneapolis,
got on the right track. What he did not find out
In Japan he shrewdly guessed at, and upon his re-
turn to America satisfied himself by numerous
experiments that he had found the correct method.
But that was only half Of the game. The other
half was to discover American wood capable
of taking the sugi finish.
The Japanese sug which is rather soft and
easily worked differs from most conifers or cone
bearing trees in that 1t is not resinous according
to the generally accepted term 1t is close grained
and when cut into hatsawed boards shows a
beautiful figure. The spring growth is much
harder than the summer growth, so that when
fire is applied to sugi board a degree of heat
which completely chars the softer grain will mere
" discolor the harder grain. Then when the
burned pieces are rubbed until all the charred
portions are removed, the darkened grain is left
standing out like an embossed surface against the
lighter colored soft grain
During the worlds fair few japanese carpen-
ters were brought to this country to aid in the
construction Of certain of the exposition buildings
When these carpenters became familiar with
American woods, they indicated strong prefer
ence for cypress, which they stated possessed al
most exactly the qualities of texture and
workability as their native sugL
Here was Mr.. Bradstreet's tip He Immediately
began TO experiment with cypress and the results
convinced him that II the ideal wood.
Not only is cypress free from resin and pitch a
condition which Is necessary TO the success Of the
sugi treatment, but by reason OF the unusual de-
gree OF difference between the hardness OF the
spring and summer growths. II presents q superior

never be used. They cheaper the work and the
results are far from pleasing.
Not only is sugifnished cypress one OF the most
distinctly beautiful of all woods as an interior
trim for buildings but because of the and
cheapness with which the process be
ployed and the pleasing and novel effects that
be obtained It's for special furniture and in
Vulnerable small articles will undoubtedly cause
1t to become extremely popular with the amateur
as we'll as the professional craftsman.

One fact is assured. which is that
the French are not making any prom
ises for the future about their clothes;
the speculation comes from the Amer
leans. who find much to analyze and
philosophize over in French clothes.
We have adopted many footlight
clothes for the street and worn many
things that should have been kept for
the glare Of the calcium and not ex-
posed to the glare OF the sun, but,
after all, we are not ready for the i'm
practicable dreams of artists. The
clothes made by Bakst are impossible
except for the stage, and one would
take issue with them surely unless
they retained some line or period.
So far the world OF dress owes moth
ing to artists who are not practical
workers Even our best colorists are

their lives TO the task OF dressing
women.

Figured Fabrics In Fashion.
The trail OF the futurist is over with
the materials Of this spring There is
no denying that. Last year we looked
aghast at the red and blue flowers
we we're asked TO wear IN the name Of
Bulgaria and at the way the so-called
futurist craze died out as quickly as
it came. We did not like this zig
tagging OF triangles and circles OF
colors that were patched together
without regard to harmony or good
taste.
All revolutions. even when they last
but a few weeks, are apt to produce
some change somewhere. For one
thing, they make the mind more com
placent about something less violent
and they open the eyes and minds 10
a different point OF view. This was
the effect of the riot of color that
broke out last spring. II was subdued
by sane and sound principles of dress,
