loafing competitor of the fishermen
along the North Carolina beaches
has forced the owners of nets to
arise at 8 a. m. or before day
break. Colonies of pelicans. noted
for their capacity for storing fish.
have taken up their residence on
the marshy islands along the coast.
These swoop down upon the nets at
daybreak and play havoc with the

Rooms which are furnished in
colonial style are almost always
satisfactory. They are especially
fascinating II the furnishings are
supplemented by characteristic ac-
cessories and pieces of needlework.
Take. for example, colonial bed.
rooms. They are already pleasing
in themselves. but they can be
made still more enjoyable by the
addition of such articles as cross
stitched samplers. rag rugs or car
pets. hooked rugs. little footstools
with cross stitched tops. and ap-
propriate bed and window hangings.
Each of these articles is easy
enough to make. when those which
are ready made are unobtainable
or of a prohibitive price. 1t is
usually difficult to find an original
colonial sampler. for instance. but
it is not at all hard to make q
good copy of one. II can be given
the semblance of antiquity by be-
ing dipped in diluted coffee. The
cross stitching is usually done in
light weight worsted. The patterns
worked out on the samplers gen.
orally consist of alphabets in large
and small letters. or some quaint
little verse, or fragments taken
from the Scriptures. a stiff little
border is worked around the edge,
and various little patterns-birds,
beasts, flowers. fruits. etC.-are
scattered here and there, wherever
space permits.
The work is done on coarse linen
on crossstitch canvas. The shape Is
square or perpendicularly oblong-
not panel shaped, but almost square
Patterns and letters may be copied
from books which contain cross
stitch designs. The colors used in
most of the eighteenth century
samplers (such as We have been
desCribinG). are black. greens. vel
lows and blues. with blues pre-
dominating. These eighteenth CEN
tury samplers are more interesting
than those. of the seventeenth CEN
tury. which are more like charts of
various kinds Of stitches.
PieCed and patchwork quilts.
though they are quite different. are
both adaptable to colonial bed
rooms. The entire surface of a
picced quilt is composed of con-
tiguous pieces of material which
are hand stitched together in a Ee-
cmetriCal pattern. The surface of
a patchwork quilt is decorated with
appliaued patches of another color
and material. at definite intervals.

Bingham, Missouri Artist; Has
Works in Many Columbia Homes

General George C.. Bingham, the Mis-
souri, artist, who numbered among his
intimate friends several Columbians. in.
cluding c. b. Rollins. ST., and Il. B.
Price, ST.. has many of his works decorat.
ing Columbia homes.
Bingham came 10 Missouri when he
was years old, aad lived at franklin in
Howard County. When he was 4 wears
old he drew things with bits Of pencil
and chalk; when he was only 8 years old
he made childish drawings on buildings.
and when II years old he could copy en-
cravings. For his paints he used vcget.
able dyes mixed with brick dust and oil.
Ii was in 1920 that Chester Harding
came TO paint the porirai, of Daniel
Boone, and young Bingham watched the
work Of this man with absorbing inter
est.
Bingham was still Young when his faith
er died. After that time he made cigars
for awhile and when he was 10 wears old
he was apprenliced to cabinet maker in
Boonville. 1t was there that he studied
law, but he met man named Harding
who encouraged him To paint and he
abandoned his law studies.
As proof of the artists versatility he
started to write the story of his life and
the uncompleted manuscript is noted for
its clear and charming style. As an ar

tist he was noted not only for his por-
trait painting but for his delineation of
contemporary life.
His iirst serious work was portrait of
Judge David Todd which was DESTROYED
in the University of Missouri fire in
1892. In 1884 and 1887 he came to CO.
lumbia and painted many portraits, among
them those of Col. Caleb Stone, Major
James ). Rollins, Judge Warren Woodson
and Josiah Wilcox.
James Rollins was his friend and ad-
mirer and in 1885 sent him to ST. Louis
10 study art. The year after iha, he mar
ried Elizabeth Hutchinson Of Boonville,
and built house in Arrow Rock which
is still standing.
1t was during the war that Bingham
painted one Of his most famous pictures
Order Number H. He could not pro-
cure canvas large enough for the pic
ture and he first painted it on table
cloth. II was later transferred to canvas.
Order Number II was an order given BY
General Ewing in 1868 ordering all the
inhabitants of Jackson County and some
OF the surrounding country to be driven
from their homes. Its object was to put
an end 10 predatory raids of Kansas .red-

Frons The Trtbu,le.s Nashsnaton Bnreea

From The Tribaic's Washington Barcua
WASHINGTON, Nov. t3.-Ihe re-
quest OF private operators engaged in
the intercoastal trade to the Shipping
Board to withdraw all government ton
mage employed in coastwise operations
was refused to-day by the board, which
held that the provisions of the mer-
chant marine act made it necessary
that all ports be given adequate ship
ping facilities.
Accompanying the request Of the
private operators was showing that
the coastwisc trade was already over
tonnaged, and that the four govern
ment ships would be withdrawn in jus
tice to the privately operated feet.
The board took the matter under
consideration and appointed Commits
sioner Chamberlain to hold hearings
These hearings developed considerable
information which was supplemented
BY questionnaires sent to all com.
panes engaged in the intercoastal
business. The facts were written into
a comprehensive report to the board
by Commissioner Chamberlain. After
careful consideration the board adopt
