Pictures.

The pictures in a house are usually
the oldest medley imaginable. More
than any other one thing. they ex-
press the complexity of the elements
that go to make up the average
American family. They are not the
conscious choice of any one or even
any two or three people; they have
just happened. But the mistress Of
the house exerts a constant pressure
on them. II is she Who says where
they shall hang, who changes them,
perhaps deliberately, perhaps because
q frame or a glass breaks at house
cleaning time. 1t is she who has
chosen, or who plans to choose. the
paper against which they hang.
Only the rich or the lucky in this
country have originals in oils or
water colors to any great extent
Some Of US have one or two cherished
treasures of that sort, sometimes
really good. sometimes very bad but
copies. engravings. etchings and
photographers. However, in this
form we have all the world of art to
choose from. and queer collect ion
is the result almost everywhere. For
those of US who can find the time to
read them there are books that will
help US to understand. not only the
pictures which we go to galleries to
see but the copies Of great pictures
which we wish to frame and hang on
our own walls and live with One

WRAPPED ICE REDUCED
ICE CHEST EFFICIENCY,

Wrapping Ice in Newspapers to re-
tard melting is the result of mistak-
en- idea and prevents free circulation
of cool air through the refrigerator
chambers, according to home eco
nomic specialists from the College OF
Agriculture. This suggestion is in
cluded among a number given by the
specialists to housewives on the care
O fthe refrigerator during the summer.
This piece Of household equipment is
often neglected, they say, with the re-
suit that ice is wasted and unpleasant
odors and disease germs permitted to
contaminate the food.
"a thorough study Of the construc-
ton Of the refrigerator and circulation
Of air through it until all the details
concerning it as we'll known is the
first requisite in proper management
of the ice chest.
"The first step in keeping the re-
frigerator clean and sanitary is to use
clean ice if it can be obtained. The
next is to clean up at once any food
spilled on the walls or shelves of the
refrigerator. Washing the, refrigera-
tor once each week with sold water
and soda and wiping it dry after
cleaning are necessities.
1.-THE drain pipe also needs particu-
lar attention and should be removed
twice each week, cleaned with hot
soap suds and scalded. 1t should not
be replaced until cool.
"Have the iceman leave one or two
large pieces of Use rather can several
smalled ones as the larger pieces last
longer
Keep the ice box well filled. Cool
ing off warm refrigerator wastes a
large amount of ice. Keep clean,
stoppered bottles Of drinking water on
ice rather than use ice to cool the
water.
"Know before you open the door Of
the refrigerator just what you wish to
remove, take it out quickly and close
the door,"

The first purely scientific and psy-
Geological stud poker game in the his
tory Of that uncertain game was
staged the other night at Columbia
University; and by two Of its most
learned professors, Prof. Albert John
son. NJ. A., and Prof. Joseph Holmes,
NJ. A., research directors of the uni
versity's famous psychological labora-
tory. They proved beyond any gamble
in the world that science has 1t all
over marked cards or any other of the
sure-thing methods practiced by snaps
heretofore. Six students who at some
time in their lives had become ac-
quainted with the game were given
special dispensations to play ten-cent
limit stud poker in the very heart of
the university in order to demonstrate
how a recently perfected little ma
chine registers every emotion no mat
ter how skilled one may be in conceal
ing it from his face. The professors
proved beyond a doubt that the better
the hand the faster revolved, the cyl
inders, which were showing the effect
of the game upon the subjects heart.

: Letter.
!, by
Lucy Jeanne Price

New York. - Every once in while
1t actually happens - the story Of the
impoverished artist to whom comes
fame and fortune just as he is about to
be turned starving into the streets.
And so 1t happened to Frank Schwartz
He had Just two more days to stay in
his two room flat on East Nineteenth
street, when the postman brought him
the letter announcing that he had won
the 921 Grand Prix de Rome with his
\ canvas 'Heroism." His story is the
kind you find more often in romantic
fiction. There was the time when he
attended art school in Chicago and
had an offer of a position as instructor
there. But the war interviewed. After
the war he was i'll. AS soon as he was
able, he used to make the rounds of
the district tea rooms with bristol
board and pencil, offering to do heads
Of the patrons. They were highly lean
days, but when the competition was
announced for the rix de Rome, the
artist put aside all ofihis pot boilers
and worked at his painting. He had no
money for his rent, so devotedly did
he give himself to this one piece of
work. But my landlord, is a good
scout" he says, and let me stay. Fin
ally he couldn't wait any longer and
had to get out within the next two
days, when this letter came. My land
lord will be pretty nearly as glad as
l. He knew what / was working for"
The prize carries with 1t a three years
course at the Academy Of Architecture
and Sculture in Rome.
