claring the situation appeared hope

the President thought that would solve
the problem. There was no informa-
ton concerning the Presidents reply,
but officials familiar with events of
the last week were Of the opinion to-
night that the President may have
time to go into the situation.

announced a building program which
he said, he would start last Monday.
The start was postponed at the re-
quest General Goethals said, Of Chair
man Denman, who asked a short delay
to give the Shipping Board time to go
over the plans. Mr.. Denman has de-
clared he asked for no delay. but did
ask that the general submit in detail

sponsible for the expenditure of the
millions OF dollars appropriated, want
ed to know how II would be spent.
For week. members of the board
and General Cocktails have been go
ing over the program. Although Chair
man Denman has announced that prog
ress was being made. and that a COM
pleted program. on which everybody
would agree. was in sight, there have

To Make Book Plates.

One way to make effective book
plates Is to have a stencil, through
which you can work up the slips in
water-colors. Stencils are cut from
oiled stencil paper or board, but II
you are going to make very many.
1t might be well to have metal stem
Gil cut, as the paper or cardboard win
soon wear out. Look through the maya
zines for some appropriate design or
group and trace 1t to your stencil pa
per. Cut 1t up into little portions, as
you would 5igsaw puzzle, so that all
the design is In parts, all joined by
small bridges" to each other. Cut
out the design, leaving the bridges
firm, with a sharp knife, holding the
stencil over glass or marble as you cut.
When complete proceed to color
through the stencil onto thin cardboard
or water-color paper. A dozen or so OF
these book plates at a time will not be a
strenuous task and the result will
easily repay labor
