Painting. Furniture
BY UAN0LYN SHEKWIN BAIL-I
 Getting Ready

StAAAfS 4N@e0J Snowy January days are j1st right for doing the new furniture decoratng. Painted furniture is rare and ex- pensiye. Why not paint your own ? All you need IS a paint scraper, a sheet of sandpaper, shellac and prepared paint of the eolofs you want, a coarse and a fine brush, and some of your school stencil patterns.
 If it is an old chair or table, remove the paint or varnish, first, with the scraper, and afterward smooth it down with sandpaper.
 The First Steps
 Before painting, wood needs coat or to of filler. Your sfellac acts as filling. Put it on quickly, for it dries in jify and you do not want. 1t to dry in streaks. After one coat of shel- lac has dried, sandpaper the surface lightly and apply another. Keep this up until all the cracks in the wood are filled.
 CoIors and Painting
 It will be only fun to paint your furniture. Select white, yellow, blue, CT a soft green. All these celors and more, too, come in the small cans of ready mixed paint, Apply the paint with large, thick. brush as evenly as you can The thicker the brush, the less apt the paint Is to sp2tter Use two coats at least, and let the paint dry thoroughly
 Putting on the Design
 Designed stencil patterns are to be had at an art shop very cfeaply. Choose fruits or flowers.
 The decoration of a chair is best applied to the back and arms, that of . table around the edge. Fasten the cardboard stencil pattern securely with small thumb tacks to the piece of furniture, and apply the coiors through tIle holes il the pattern, using dif- ferent brush, or a clean one for each color. A fine brush Is necessary for this work, and it IS 2 good plan to have d cup of turpentine handy in casE

UNCLE JE0'e TALK TO WIDE.
 AWAKES

Do you know how Jack Frost and Old Sol tthe sun) work together for good.
 You are now skating upon pond where there Is no water in summer. It Is one Of Natures shallow bowls which is not water tight in summer. but after Jack Frost has frozen the earth the drains are ali stopped. and then he freezes the water and keeps 1t there till spring, when Old Sol, having got the best of him, loosens up the drains and away the water goes free to water herbage and to make waterways for fish and reptiles to dis port themselves in and for wild anil mals and birds to drunk and bathe in: and in the bowl over which you now skate may grow next season a fine Erop of grass or bedding.
 Where ponds are shallow Jack Frost makes them his for more than six months in the year; and then the Sun takes the water out of them by evaporation and at mid summer they are dry because the water is needed elsewherea Later the Wind. which al- ways acts as the carrier, brings the rsin-clouds back and these shallow bowls are again filled and Jack Frost makes them fast with ice and thus the skating season is reestablished.
 When we see these dry holes in hot weather we say the water has dried up, but it hasn't for 1t is only the earth that is dried up. The water has simply been taken ap by the Sun and carried away by the wind for use else where. Thousands Of tons of water floats above Us as mist or clouds, and high temperature Cor the sun) takes it up: and low temperature which makes it fall.
 Jack Frost and Old Sol have alter hating tasks 70 keep the earth the year round as it should be.

James Speed, Kentucky editor Of
the Southern Agriculturist, spent
three days at Boone Tavern last

Altho Mr.. Speed delivered a talk

in the Agricultural school, he came
TO Berea especially TO secure ma
terial for some articles for the

PROFESSOR LEWIS ADDRESSED
ANTI-T0BACC0 LEAGUE


A well attended meeting Of the
Berea Anti-Tobacco League was
conducted Sunday afternoon at 800
o'clock in the Parish House. Miss
Lena Roberts, the president Of the
or ganization, is again able TO take
charge Of the work Of the League
after an absence Of about two
months, due TO illness. Every mem
bcr Of the League was glad TO see
Miss Roberts once more in the off,
cial chair.
Professor Lewis addressed the
League. In his spe 'ch he pointed
out how that only a comparatively
short time ago the oes, people OF the
community, even the deacons OF The
churches, used liquor and served IL
to their friends without comprnc-
tion Of their conscience. But as The
discourse continued, he related how
these same people several years lat
or ceased using liquor and forbade
its use by any member OF their con-
gregation. John Barleycorn has
been deported. The next most con-
spicuous evil which Is facing the
people OF America today is the TO-
bacco habit. We admit that some Of
the best OF our people use IL. There
is maxim, however, that the future
can be Judged largely by the past.
n this is true, may we not justly
expect the good people OF our land 10
discontinue the use OF tobacco with
in few years, as our good people
Of the previous era discontinued the
use Of liquor when they became en-
enlightened on the subject. Profess
sor Lewis's entire speech was very
vivid and interesting, and was thoro-
ly appreciated and enjoyed by all.
The Anti-Tobacco League play
writing contest has closed and Mr..
Wisdom Bilbrey won first place.
The judges after reading the play
were astcnished that student could
write such a production. The play
ers have been chosen. giving a fair
representation to each department.
The play will be given in the Taber-
nacle near the middle Of March.
The membership of the League is
growing steadily. The students Of
all departments are taking a decided
interest in this important work.
The next regular meeting of the
League will be held in the Parish
House Sunday afternoon, February 1
at $3.50 o'clock. An instructive and
interesting program has been pre-
pared. A hearty invitation is ex-
tended TO all the students of the in
stitution, and TO the people Of the
village who are interested in this
work. Visit the League February 4,
and see what it is doing.

ers for towns and countryside.
The college and the whole South
are fortunate in having for lis presi-
dent DR.. w. d. Weatherford, student
secretary for the southern states for
more than % years. No one else In
the South knows the people and
their educational needs better. He
knows these things at 0rst hand.
His work has carried him over all
the region. mountains and lowlands
TO cities and hamlets. colleges and
cotton fields. II has brought him
into intimate relationship with
leaders in religion, business, social
service, education and other walks
M life. This intimate knowledge OF
the people, their history, traditions,
needs. possibilities, Is one OF the
greatest qualifications for practical
constructive service that any man
can have.
To this qualification must be add
ed others: a passion for developing
the spiritual life among the rural
people; his great success in intro
ducing men TO Christ; his ability 10
sense great opportunity and hold
Up before people a great ideal, and
his long experience in planning and
carrying \out the most practical,
constructive educational and social
service programs.
The work done in recent years at y
Blue Ridge bears evidence OF his
executive ability and statesmanlike
vision. He has gathered about him
there a group OF highly trained, lev
el-headed, consecrated men who
know how TO teach and who per-
form miracles in training and In
spring men and women for effective
religious work.
In matters Of race relationship his
voice is the clearest and the most
authoritative yet raised in the
South. He is a personal friend Of
practically all the leaders OF both
races, and has their confidence as
few other men have.
The people OF the Southland may
expect TO See revival in construc-
tive social and Christian work due
to the efforts OF the men who consti-
tute the faculty OF this new institu-
ton led by its recently chosen pres
ident.

PRESIDENT FROST WRITES

NcW nOTh, Jan. ~.
Dear Citizen Readers:
Some OF you will be glad TO learn
a little Of what Mrs. Frost and I are
doing and seeing on our far-reach-
ing travels this winter.
We went East by the Chesapeake
and Ohio, and left Mrs. Todd in
Washington where her daughter,
Margaret, and son-in-law, Harold
Hoagland, are employed in Govern
ment offices. There we stayed one
day, and visited our son WeslSy's
office in the Department Of State,
where he is Assistant Trade Advisor
surrounded by economists and sta
tisticians and reports about the agri-
culture. manufacture and trade OF all
countries in the world. To see the
maps and correspondence and COM
mittee rooms you~would think Uncle
Sam intended at least 10 know what
is going on and where are CHARGES
10 extend American business.
In New York we got an inside
room at great hotel where we have
stopped before, and were able TO get
our quiet sleep right in the midst Of
the most noisy and busy city in the
world. New York is the home Of
Will Embree, whom all Berea knows,
and Of Rogers, our great inventor.
And here we saw Miss Stoughton,
once my secretary, and John Michel,
the Greek patriot who was Berea
student last year, and Is now con-
nectcd with a Greek newspaper and
committees working 10 help the peo-
pie oppressed by the Turks. In New
York everything costs about twice
what il does in Berea, but there
seems TO be plenty Of people TO buy
all the expensive things. The high
wages seem TO stir people up TO ex-
travagance. New York is a city Of
fine weather. Il was bright and
comfortable all the time except a
warm rain one day. We had some
spare hours TO walk up Fifth avenue
and see the fine clothes, and acres Of
other luxuries for which we have no
desire.
