METAL PLATING ON PAPER
Simple Method. Originating In Spain,
is Said to Have Given Most
Excellent Results.

An interesting method of metal
plating is announced from Spain,
where large number of small dec
orative articles that are manufac-
tured in clay, glass, wood and papier
mache are now being incased in a
thin Skin" of metal, which greatly
improves the appearance and per-
manence of the articles.
The method employed is simple
A small compressor supplies air at
a pressure of about seven atmos-
pheres to a receptacle filled with
metallic powder generally lead) 4,
At the moment the metallic powder
energies from the jet it is melted by
an oxy-hydrogen flame, and a spray
of molten metal encases the object
to be "metalized," which is placed
on a revolving platform. The OBJ
ject then goes to the electrolytic
bath and receives its new skin of
copper, silver or gold. Glass articles
are first treated by a sand blast TO
insure the necessary roughness for
the adhesion of the lead.

decays and makes ready for a splendid
hole to form.
Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing well, No part of a re-
paired highway should be left until its
surface has been thoroughly and even
~ compacted and shaped to let all the
water run off. And when, as will most
always happen, ruts and depressions
make their appearance, they should be
smoothed down, filed, and well COM
Dacted so that water may not remain

NIT further damage by the traffic.
When using the road drag, use it
properly at the right time. Don't go
out when the road is too wet or too
dry. Take it when the mud will make
a good mortar and win puddle down
like the little girls mud cakes or the
mason's mortar.

NO GREAT WHITE WAY IN ROME.


New Workers who were aggrieved
by the darkening of their "Great
White Way" as Broadway is called,
because of last winters coal short
age, might have comforted them
selves by considering how much bet

Romans. 1t is a curious fact that,
while the people of Rome had elab-
crate systems of Lighting for their
homes, it does not seem to have oc-
CURED to them to brighten their
streets. Roman history and litera-
ture contain no mention of street
lights. On the other hand there is
ample evidence that the streets were
exceedingly dark and dangerous as

Romans of prominence and property
stirred after nightfall without
armed guards who carried torches.
Rome maintained a force of 5000
policemen, who also acted as fire.

MACADAM ROAD PROVED BEST
There Are Several Varieties, Changed
to Suit Localities and circum-
stances Everywhere.

For over century now the macadam
road has been in use and has proved
itself TO be the best all-round road
that can be built, In fact, SO good is it
that all military roads in the war area
In France are OF this type. There are
several varieties of it, changed to suit
localities and circumstances. The regu-
lar, water-bound maeadam is, with
out doubt, the best and safest for
horses. But we cannot build for horses
alone, It is necessary to preserve the
broken stone road against the auto
mobile tires, otherwise the road sur
face would soon go to pieces.

 Do you remember-and it's not so many years ago either-when every one in America was singing, whistlins or humming that wonderful melody, Kiss Me Again. Victor Herbert never did anything better-nor any thing that has had a more enduring hold on the music-loving public. In the new group of Columbia Records we find this exquisite gem of melody sung by the noted soprano. Hulda Lashanska. Hulda Lashanska has risen so swiftly to fame and has such a wonderful soprano voice that to have her sing such song on a record to the marvellous range of tone and to the beautiful quality of this young American singers voice.
 A brace of home coming popular hits just out is recorded on another titles are "Mother, Here's Your Boy.- and "The Navy Will Bring Them Back" sung by the Sterling Trio and by Arthur Fields and the Peerless Quarettte respectively. Whether or not you have a .boy who is coming back, these stirring songs will thrill you to the core.

North America cultivated corn in about every region where it could be raised by their methods. In other words, corn occupied about as large Q place in the culture of the Inians as it does in our own. Long before the day of Christo- pher Columbus some Indian genius began to tame the wild ancestor of maize, a process which was carried ultimately to such a pass that there is still some doubt as to the identity of the parent plant. Virtually all the known varieties of corn also had been developed before 1492. In fact, as corn is cultivated today on our farms, the methods used are essentially the same as those devised by the untutored h. dians of pre- historic days.
 It behooves us then, we who have so thoroughly and grossly assimilated

CORN WAS DISCOVERED
 BY AMERICAN INDIANS
(American Museum Journal)


 When Columbus found America he discovered some new foods destined to take the most important places in the dietary of the world. l say discovered, but in reality he plagiarized or simply appropriated them. for the discoveries had been made by the ancestors of the American Indians many centuries be- fore Columbus was born.
 When We are reminded that more than 90 of the worlds important food plants were already in cultivation here in 1492. We can form some realization of our cultural obligations to the abori- ginal American race. Of these foods none take so high a place as Indian corn. In addition to being one of the best of the worlds foods, it is the one cultivated plant that seems most at home in our country. It is the greatest cultural triumph of the American race and it's origination makes strong claim to the highest place in the worlds great deeds of culture.
