About Cretonnes

There are 50 many things to re-
member when you buy cretonne that
1t is q wonder, really. that you ever
buy any Of it.
To begin with. there is that ever
troubling question Of color schemes.
Troubling, that is. II you let It be SO.
In these days 1t need not be so, for
the designs in icretonne are SO varied
that one can always find the right
coloring. But still you must know
what colors you want, and that Is
something some persons apparently
find dificult.
You must remember, in choosing
your color scheme in cretonnes, that
only certain colors harmonize or may
be used together. Just now there is
a fad for green interiors, and 30
we have a suggestion Of coloring that
has not been to the fore for several
years. For we are planning green
color schemes again. AS things go
now, we consider green and yellow
admirable together. Green and GER
tain shades Of blue. too, are charm
ks
and refreshing. but the green and
blue would be cold in a room with a
north exposure.
Then there is the color scheme Of
raspberry and mulberry together,
with q background OF gray.
There are various color schemes en-
employing brown or tan. These in
clude combinations with blue and
combinations Of several tones Of the
same color.
And there are the rose and gray
combinations that are in good style
at the moment. 49,
All these combinations are recog-
nized in the new chintzes. Tho green
color schemes are not usual enough
yet to have produced many cretonnes.
Yet, II we have . real return of the
vogue for green, we shall probably
have all sorts of cretonnes to ut in
with it. There are already some
charming springlike things showing
yellow flowers or birds on a gray
ground with tracery Of green foliage.
When you buy cretonne, after you
have thought out your color schemes
definitely, the next thing is the
quality Of the fabric. Don't buy q
transparent cretonne for window cur
tains, That is, don't buy q cretonne
through which you can see the light
when you hold the cretonne up before
a window or a lamp. Such q Gre
tonne loses all its life in the day
time. It is all right at night, when
no light Is shining in the windows.
and such light as you have strikes
it from inside, shines against it tn
stead Of through it. But when the
daylight behind such a cretonne is
bright the cretonne loses all color and
hence all character.
Therefore. put the cretonnes you
buy through the acid test Of holding
them up before a bright light.
II you cannot find any cretonne you
like that will stand this test there
is one way around the difficulty. You
can buy the transparent, himsier Gre
tonne and line It. This lining makes
it opaque and is really az good as the
heavier. non-transparent sort ..
Moreover. the lining adds to the
color Of the cretonne. It is best to
make the lining 4 warm color in q
cold room-one with q north ex-
posure. Yellow or rose would prove
very good with curtains showing
yellow or rose in their design. In a
warm room, with a south or west
sunny exposure. gray or blue Innings
might be used, and so might green.
Again. be sure to make the color of
the lining emphasize the color

w WHAT has the government
IN dons in the interests OF
wv helium? Rather, what Is
helium and why is the gov
eminent mentioned at all in the Ques-
ton Of helium? What has the govern
ment done?
To the layman the questions, in his
viewpoint, should be answered quick
ly and concisely. To the mind that
understands the sciences part of the
question at it's best is hard to bring
to an understandable public view
point.
Helium is one of series of very
rare inert gases. 1t is new incom-
bustible gas, which promises and has
proved in recent tests to make dirigi-
,bles safe from fires from infiammable
gases in the air. Helium is. next to
hydrogen. the lightest of known sub
stances. The gas. although twice as
heavy as hydrogen. has in balloons
buoyancy or ascensional power of 92.6
per cent as compared with the latter.
In its physical behavior helium Is
the nearest approximation to the
ideal perfect gas. 1t is monatomic
and liquefies at even lower tempera-
lures than hydrogen. Helium has
been proved to be the end product of
the emanations of radioactive sub
stances, but the origin of its presence
in natural gas has not been estab-
lished. The low dielectric strength
of helium permits electric discharges
to pass through it with much greater
ease than through most rare gases.
and its conductivity for heat is very
high.

ginning to face serious threats Of
starvation through depletion Of their
food supplies when the reindeer was
brought in"
The movement to introduce rein
deer into Alaska was started by DR..
Sheldon jackson, pioneer Alaskan
missionary. He and his associates
appealed to Congress for an ap-
propriation for the purpose. But
Congress thought the suggestion a
Customary one and failed to ap-
prove it Then DR.. jackson per-
suaded the newspapers to make
appeals for popular contributions
with the result indicated above.
After it was proven that the sug-
gestion was not impracticable. Con-
gress made an appropriation for fur
thering the venture. and has since
made annual appropriations for its
support. These have averaged about
$1,000 q year, with a special one oS
$4,000 for scientific work. The total
cost to the government Of introduce
ing reindeer culture in Alaska has
been about $335,000. All told. only
1889 head Of stock were imported
into the territory. The last importa-
lions were made in 1902. The Alaskan
reindeer stock came from Siberia. In
addition to the more than 100000
there now, approximately 1906 have
been killed for food or for shipment
to the states. 1t is estimated that
the total increase from the original
reindeer herds has totaled a worth of
about 100000, which means that
in about thirty years the cash invest
ment made by the government has
grown nearly 1000 per cent in value.
While the government keeps strings

tween the ages of IA and Is years,
when granted a permit to work, must
attend the part time school five hours
each week. The maintenance of the
above school is subsidized by the
state for IS per cent of the cost Of
instruction. The whole spirit and
purpose of the school is to make
available TO employed youths that
type OF education which they most
need from a civic, social. physical,
and vocational point of view.
This is primarily a problem of sup
plying that type of education which
best meets the needs of each tndi-
vidual pupil. This is often the sub
ject in which he was deficient in the
regular school, or some deficiency in
the academic branches which his en-
ployment brings into prominence. The
instructor studies the individual pu-
pills and tried to supply, not the edu-
cation which is merely good, but that
which is imperative if he is to become
a self-supporting, law-abiding citi-
zen. Children, rather than school
subjects, are being taught In so do
ing the existing special classes and
departments of the school system are
at the disposal of these children.

INDIAN BOYS To
APPEAR IN REAL
VAUDEVILLE ACT

A dramatic act unique in its con-
ception and promising to be one of
the most entertaining features ever
placed before a Phoenix audience
will be presented at the Columbia
theater on the nights of January IL,
13 and IA, when 25 Indians from St.
Johns Franciscan mission will pre-
sent a melange of music and COM
edy which is being prepared as a
vaudeville number for the best cir
cults.
The act, which is being prepared
under the direction of Ralph Allen,
formerly of the Orpheum and Pam
tages circuits who was in charge of
the Elks annual show in 1920, will
include selections by the famous ST
Johns band songs, limitations of
bird calls, whistling, Indian dances,
war cries and humorous skits, all of
which will be given by Indian boys
of the troupe, none of whom are more
than 25 years old.
The act is being arranged as a As
minute turn, and is crowded for
eyery minute with life and action.
The Indians have shown unusual tai
ent. according to Allen, and it is
confidently expected that the act will
prove of such attractiveness that no
difficulty will be experienced in win
ming for it the approval of vaude-
VILE managers. All the proceeds from
the entertainment will go to the mis-
sion, which is providing food, shelter,
education and medical attendance for
500 Indian boys and girls of the Pima
and Papago reservations.
The Indian actors are members of
the Pima. Papago Apache, Maricopa,
Yuma and several other tribes, and
in everything concerning their alb
original customs they will present
their exhibitions as only real Indians
can. Talent of an exceptional order
has been uncovered il rehearsing the
boys, all of whom are fresh from the
reservations, and an entertainment
of real worth is promised when the
curtain goes up on the opening
number.

SHRINERS WELCOME
The NEW YEAR WITH
GAY ENTERTAINMENT

Old 1921 received a merry start on
his way at the Shrine auditorium
last night. and the baby year was
welcomed by Shriners with all the
noise and ceremony befitting such an
event. In an auditorium beautifully
decorated with Shrine streamers Of
orange and green, hung by soft
shaded lanterns and made sweet by
the breath of flowers, fully 300 mem
bers sat through an evening of fun
and pleasure which has seldom been
duplicated in the city.
The dinner tables dainty with car
nations and shaded lights, were
grouped around the dancing floor. on
which many stunts" were carried
out during the long evening. Lovely
women in lovely gowns with gay
little paper hats set coquettishly on
their heads We'd with more soberly
garbed men to see which could pro-
duce the most noise. Noise makers
were passed out early in the evening
horns, whistles, whirligigs, and
rattles, and these were used to ac-
centuate the applause OF the many
acts. and to render the gay holiday
spirit more pronounced.

NEW DAIRY LAW
PASSED BY CITY

Phoenix already strick milk or
dinance has been reinforced by new
law, passed last month, which makes
it compulsory for dairymen to brand
all cows which have reacted to the
tuberculin test and segregate them
from the rest of the herd. Although
the law was passed a few weeks ago
it virtually did not go into effect be-
fore January 1, after which date it
is to be vigorously enforced.
The branding of all tubercular cows
with a '"T' on the right jaw will
obviate all chances of their being
mixed In with the healthy members
of the herd ana as a consequence
there will be no chance of Phoenix
people being sold infected milk.
Refusal on the part of dairymen to
comply with the new ordinance will
result in the immediate revoking of
their licenses to sell milk in Phoenix.
The original milk ordinance specifies
that dairy stock be tested for tuber-
culosis once year.

leak downward and oil upward. In
order to he an ideal device it must
do this without eXerting too much
pressure against the cylinder wall
and the pressure must be evenly dis
tributed all around. The ring must
fit the cylinder perfectly; it must fit
its groove in the piston so that 1t
will be neither too tight nor too loose
Such piston rings will run perhaps
10000 or 10000 miles, but a time
must come when the rings no longer
make a gas tight joint. 1t then is
necessary TO find out why the rings
no longer fit well. The average re-
pair man will tell you that when
wear takes place only the rings be-
come worn, so thai all that is neces-
sary to put the engine in first class
shape is to replace the piston rings
How the repair man knows is one of
the mysteries Of this world. The fact
is that no one can tell whether tho
rings are worn or whether the CYL
inders are worn or just what the con-
dition of these parts is unless the
parts themselves are examined and
measured.
1t is natural to suppose that after
the engine has become worn over a
long period The wear is not confined
TO any one part. Experience has
shown that cylinders become worn
just as readily as the rings. But the
average repairman assumes that for
his especial benefit the cylinders
have worn uniformly round, which,
strange to say, does not happen in
service. Cylinders wear oval or they
score or they have high spots here
and there. They are not perfectly
round after 10000 or 10000 miles.
At the same time that the cylinders
do not wear round they also do not
wear uniformly along the length. The
piston rings do the wearing, and the
rings only travel a certain distance
in the cylinder. This is called the
ring travel. The wear then takes
place for a certain vertical distance,
leaving at the top and bottom of the
cylinder a bore. practically equal to
the original bore of the cylinder.
There may be some wear at top and
bottom, but it is exceedingly slight
compared with the ring travel wear.
In attempting to install oversize
rings in a cylinder that is worn the

into the original bore, for in what
other way can you get the ring into
the worn area of the cylinder? II the
ring ends are filed, the ring then is
made smaller and it is no longer an
oversize.
This explains a great deal Of trou-
BILE owners have because so-called
oversize rings were installed in the
cylinders. In the first place, the CYL
inders should be made true either by
grinding or some other process, and
new rings obtained to fit the new
bore. In this way only can one be
sure of perfect fit. To say that
new rings will lap themselves into an
oval bore is wrong, for they will not.
nor will new rings in worn cylinders
take the shape presented by score
marks or hard spots in the cylinder
metal.
The type Of ring has something to
do with results, but not so much as
the average shop is inclined to think.
The fit OF the ring in the cylinder
means more than the design of the
ring itself. Patent rings are help
ful. but a patent ring poorly fitted

Dancing acts and singing acts fol-
lowed each other in rapid succession,
and at 10 o'clock the diners had
progressed far enough in their dinner
to be permitted to leave their tables
and dance. Walters, imbued with
the festal spirit, hurried to and fro
with heads crowned with green

the swaying dancers, every now and

sharp report as someone touched it

cluded a Spanish dance, Scotch dane
es with the bag pipes much in evil
dence, a Chinese dance and an Orien-
tai dance, interspersed with singing
acts of various kinds. A fetchingly

several singing and dancing acts, and
Of course there was Eddie Talbert.
At midnight the New Year was
welcomed in with cheering and song,
and the dancing went on until an

ART-T|ME SCHOOL
BIG OPPORTUNITY To
WORKING CHILDREN
BY EARL RoSEN5ERRY, Teacher
Of Part Time School, Phoenix
Public Schools

Within recent years many states
have come to feel that their educa-
tional responsibilities toward their
children have not terminated with
the issuance Of a working permit, and
that whether at work or in school, the
minor is the educational ward of the
state until he is properly fitted for
life, or has reached an age of discre-
tion. The longer we keep our chill
dren in contact with the public school
the safer will be our civilizatio This
principle is already noticeable in the
constant raising of the compulsory
age limit, until in California, New
York and other states a boy or girl
must either be in full day school at
tendance until he is IS years of age,
or working, and, If working, he or she
must spend four to eight hours per
week in school during the working
day.
There is no provision for an idler
in this scheme. The youth must be
working and attending part time
school or return to full time school
when his employment ceases.

vides that working boys and girls be-

sort will elevate your engine into
