change had come: athletics, in other
years spotlighted at the center Of the
stage, languished suddenly, threatened
with abandonment; students working
for senior honors forgot them; every

as you would of flour for thickening.

can be picked off, and the seams care
fully scraped to remove any excess of
white lead. The old way was to tie
the mended article together before
putting it away to dry, but this is not
easy to do.
If the above directions are care
fully followed, a fairly permanent
cement is obtained, and the dish may
be considered once more as a useful
member of cupboard society.
Riveting Requires Skill.
Professional china members use
rivets of silver or copper wire in adj
dition to a cementing process. This
riveting requires special equipment
and special skill and is beyond the
average housekeeper. Nevertheless, it
is we'll for her to know that such
work can be done if the dish is valu-
able and worth putting into the hands
of skilled workman. An expert in
this business can often supply mis-
sing pieces, with the design restored
if need be, and glazed to appear
practically the same as the original.
The home worker can supply mis-
sing pieces with fair success if they
are not too large. For this, plaster-of-
paris is worked up with good quality
of liquid glue or other kinds of liquid
cement until the mass is as stiff as
putty. Work some of the material into
the space to be filled, mold into place.
and rub with a wet finger tip until
smooth. The material used acts as it's
own cement.
When the plaster-of-paris piece is
perfectly dry, it may be tinted with
artists oil paints to look like the rest
of the dish, and with little care any
interrupted design may be continued
or replaced Over such painting as
this, when it has thoroughly dried, it
is we'll to apply coat of light-colored
waterproof varnish or enamel.

He's a great lecturer, but he's pacifist

friend Of Dora's. They say he encour-
aged her to make this break and led
the subject around so she could do 1t,
and then called on her for an opinion,
as the highest-stand student In the
class. She got up and claimed there
wasn't any such thing as legitimate
cause for war, either legally or moral
ly, and said it was sign of weakness
in nation for 1t to believe that it did
have q cause for war.
"Well, 1t was too much for that lit

Japan and Mexico to make war on us,

admit there was proof they mean to
conquer us when they get through with
the others, and that they've set out to
rule the world for their own benefit,
and make whoever else they kindly
allow to live. work for them.
"She said 1t might be true. but since
nothing at all could be a right cause
for war, then all this couldn't be a

Among the household crafts which
are well worth developing is the art
of repairing china. In other words, e
you are unfortunate enough to break
your favorite pitcher or one of great
grandmOther's plates, don't fail to pick
up the pieces, for the Office of home
economics of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has found out
how you may put them together again.
Obviously the first difficulty is to
get cement which will be permanent
enough to stand washing and reason
ably careful handling and which will
not be affected BY climatic conditions
The Department of Agriculture, after
comparative tests, recommends what
is known as "grandmother's white
lead" process.
Cementing Material.
The cementing material in this case
is white lead such as is used by
artists working with oil paints. 1t may
be rubbed with the finger on the raw
is to be cemented into place, but be-
fore the white lead cement is applied
it is well to rub down the edges a
very little with emery paper to make
room for the thin layer of white lead
so that the dish when completed will
not be distorted in shape. Care should
be taken not to use too much white
lead
Melted sealing wax is dropped here
and there on each side of the seam to
hold the piece firmly in place so that
it will not slip out of place. If the
dish is broken in several pieces, one
piece after another can be added in
the same way. The dish should then
be set away and left for eighteen
months or two years to give the white
lead time to harden thoroughly. At
the end of that I me the sealing wax

It's the same story over again.
Women suffer from ailments for years.
They try doctors and different medi-

take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

That's the truth of the matter. If you

women have, you ought to try this med

or old, as it contains no harmful drugs.
