PAINTING on SIX, Satin or veIvet

To paint on silk, satin and velvet
in water cOlors, use the colors in the
ordinary water colors in the usual
way, but instead of water use gum
arabic dissolved in a little warm wa.
ter. The liquid should not be too
thin. Use Chinese white to make the
colors lighter if necessary, after they
are mixed with the solution. Care
should be taken not to have too much
color on the brush otherwise the paint
will run into the silk.

Ralph McGinnis, of this city, who
is taking law course at the Michi-
gan State University at Ann Arbor,
Michigan, has been selected as coach
of the Michigan base ball team for
this season. This will not interfere

Ann Arbor, Mich, March 25-
Ralph McGinnis, former star athlete
of the University of Iowa, is schedul-
ed to coach the Michigan all-fresh
base ball team this season.
McGinnis has been given temp0r-
ary charge of the freshmen until the

was captain of the Iowa foot ball
team two years so and is now taking
his law work at Michigan.
One hundred and fourteen fresh
men have already handed in their
names at athletic headquarters with

A Personal Appeal.

If the preacher at the tabernacle
should hold up a flag-an American
f1ag-and ask you to come up that
your home and country needed you, q
shout that would almost raise the
roof of the old tabernacle would go
up from the men, women and chill
dren, and you would come forward in
enthusiasm to defend that home and
country. Now, wouldn't you, my
brother? But the appeal that falls
on deaf ears night after night to-
come up and accept Jesus Christ is
just as important to you and to your
country as the first call above men
tiened. A christian nation is just as
good safeguard against a foreign or
any other foe as great army. The
best preparedness for you, my broth
er is christian life. 1t is not only
good for you here but it is equally
good for the hereafter. The history
of the world shows that the chris
tlan nation is the most powerful. 1t
is safe from foes without and dis
sentions and rebellions within Then,
if you are wanting to strengthen this
great country of ours the best thing
for you to do is to accept Jesus Christ
and live a christian life. You can
best preserve, protect and defend
your country by such life for above
all nations the christian nation stands
and the gates of hell shall not pre-
vail against it.
