One of the most convenient devices
for keeping all sewing equipment in
place is sewing screen. 1t consists
Of two panels (2S inches high and 1874
inches wide made Of by Pinch plank
hinged together and each panel COW
cred with burlap. A pocket is fastened
to the bottom of each panel on the in
side, and hooks are placed on the bot
tom of the cross pieces to hold the nee
essary equipment. Pegs or nails driven
into the top of one Of the cross pieces
will hold the spools. A drop shelf at
tached to the upper part of our panel
makes good work table, and groove
in the top of the cross pieces will hold
buttons. This folding sewing screen
is light in weight, requires little space
and can be easily carried to the porch
or lawn for sewing work.
The following supplies are conven-
lent to have at hand in the screen be-
fore beginning to sew:
Needles of good make and assorted
sizes. Sizes z, s, 8 and 10 are most
used.
Threads, also of good make and as
sorted sizes. A spool each of Nos. so,
20 and 100, and basting thread should
be on hand.
A plain, substantial thimble. Cellu-
loid or aluminium makes q good, mex
pensive thimble; brass one is not de-
sirable because it may stain your thin
ble-inger if it gets moist with perspira-
ton, and may poison you if there is
sore place on your finger underneath
it.
A pair of sharp shears, with blades
about five inches long, for cutting
cloth.
A pair of small, sharp scissors with
good points, for cutting threads, re-
moving hastings, etc.
An abundance of medium-sized,
sharp-pointed pins. Fine pins are easier
to use than coarse ones.
A small pincushion.
A tape measure.
A few pieces of cardboard to use as
cages.
A pencil.
An emery bag for polishing needles

and smoothing them when they become
rusty or sticky.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture says that such screen
can be made of the following:
Ten feet of lumber ~ by IL inches.
Six 11A-inch (butt) hinges with
screws to be used in joining the panels
and fastening the drop shelf to the
cross pieces.
One handle with screws for the top
of screen.
One hook and eye to fasten the
panels when they are folded and
closed
Two yards Of burlap, denim or cam
vas, is inches wide.
One dozen brass cup hooks.
One yard cretonne for pockets.
One yard one-half-inch elastic for
top Of pockets.
Four dozen upholstering tacks for
lacking burlap.
Sandpaper and stain.
Selecting coIors.
Care should be taken in selecting
good colors in materials both for peck
cts and for outside covering. The col
'ors in the cloth should harmonic with
the color of the stain for the wood.
Oftentimes very good dyes and wood
stains can be made from nut hulls,
roots, berries and bark of trees. The
cloth, not being the same texture, will
take the dye in little different shade
of the same color than thes woodwork
if the identical banks or shells are
used for making the stain for the
frame.
Wood Stains.
To make a good brown stain for the
frame cover three pints of bruised
green walnut hulls with three pints of
water and allow to stand for twelve
hoNrs. Strain through double cheese
cloth and add one ounce of permanga-
nate of potash. This stain may be
made in larger quantities and used for
floor stain. 1t gives rich brown floor
finish. If a semi-waXy. appearance is
desired, one quart of paraffin oil can
be added. A similar stain can be pur-
chased on the market at reasonable
price.

Bees Never STING Some People.

Jack Beaten asks this question in
Adventure Magazine. He says:
II never had much fear of bees even
as kid. One Fourth Of July when I
was about fourteen, experimental
with several bee hives and some can
non crackers. The operation is sim
pie. Slip up to the hive and insert the
cannon crackers in the main entrance,
light, and run like -. Only forgot
to run. Well, the bees came out of the
hive all right and, believe, they
stung every one within a half-mile but
me. Why?
another time I was raking hay
field with a two-horse rake, one of
those wide affairs. The rake raked up
a nice-sized nest Of ground bees. The
field was fenced and the gate was
barely wide enough for a team to pass
through. The team passed through all
right, but the hayrake and 1 didn't.
No sir, we stopped real sudden like.
The horses were a mass of. bees and
was very well covered myself. There
were bees on my neck so thick had
to claw chem off. But not one stung
me. Why?"

CRIME ON MOTOR
CAUSE OF DECAY
Greasy Accommodations Injurious
to Various Connections and
Also to Insulation.

The motorcar's spring cleaning
should not stop with the body, top and
cushions. An engine and chassis COW
cred with grease and dirt is costly
encouragement to delaying simple ad-
justments which will save money in
repairs.
Clean the engine, springs, transmits
sion housing and other parts which ac-
cumulate sticky CRIME with kerosene,
to which some gasoline may be added.
Use wooden backed scrubbing brush
with no metal on it. Metal may touch
electric terminals and cause a spark
which will start a fire. A much bet
ter job will result if the drip pan is
removed while the engine is cleaned.
Cleaning Saves the Engine.
In addition to looking better and be-
ing easier to repair, clean engines
hose connections, electric insulation
and gaskets will not deteriorate nearly
SO quickly.
With the springs cleaned, oiling sug-
gests itself. Be sure the grease cups
on the springs are full and screwed
down so there will be pressure. That
is not enough to save rusted spring,
however. Jack up the chassis and ap-
ply lubricant with a paint brush or
squirtgun.
If the leaves of springs are rusted
together, they usually may be pried
apart with screwdriver while the car
is lacked up. Repair men diagnose as
a frozen" spring condition in which
all leaves are rusted into what appears
to be solid mass. Soak the frozen"
spring in kerosene and try the screw
driver again next day.
Take Baiky Spring Apart.
If the spring still balks, the best
way is to remove 1t, take it apart,
clean the leaves with kerosene, lubri-
cate them with graphite and grease
and reassemble them.
Spring covers of leather and metal,
oil retaining cups and high pressure
lubricating systems are among recent
improvements which simplify care Of
springs. The various covers keep out
dirt and keep in lubricants so that
springs rarely need attention. High
pressure devices range In design from
those in which screw pressure exerts
terrific force to handy affair like a
pistol which "shoots" grease when the
trigger is pulled.

In New Guinea Old People Are
Summarily Dispatched.
Community Reruses TO Allow Them to
Become Burden and They Are
q Put Away With Expedition.

Tribal law and custom in New
Guinea and the Bismarck archipelago,
particularly in the matter of killing
is constantly coming into conflict witt
the white mans law and offers one
Of the most difficult problems that the
white administrator is faced with solv-
in. The general attitude of Melanesi-
ans in regard to old people is a case
in point. AS old people approach de-
crepitude, they become burden upon
the village and every opportunity is
taken to get rid of them. In some of
the islands farther south off Australia,
a general day is appointed for their
ceremonial burial. Whether they hap
pen to be dead or not makes no diff.
ference. Sometimes the old people
actually march off to their own funer-
ais, accepting their fate as the inevi-
table conclusion Of old age; they even
consider that it is the duty Of affec.
tionate children to honor them by thug
putting dramatic end to their lives,
after they have passed the period Of
their usefulness. They are placed in
a grave with tremendous ceremony
the whole village taking part, and the
earth is firmly stamped down over
them, to the beating of many drums
In the Bismarck archipelago, old peo.
pie are occasionally taken into the
bush, shut up in some isolated hut
with small supply Of food and thus
abandoned to slow death by starvation.
A peculiar case once presented itself
for settlement on the west coast of
New Ireland. A boy Of nine was
brought in for trial, accused Of the
murder Of his grandmother. He had
been taken aside, so he said, by
party of the elders of his village, who
said:
"Why, you are growing up now to
be big fellow! 1t is certainly shame
full that you should be a drain on the
food stock Of the village We have
altogether too many people dependent
on US here. There are yourself and
great many other boys like you.
and then there Is that grandmother Of
yours. She does nothing but eat and
eat, and it has finally come down to
this: We have not enough food for
all you people who loaf on the COM
munity. If your grandmother was
dead, we might Le able to find enough
food for you"
Pointing her out where she lay, a
withered old crow, asleep on the
ground hundred yards away, they
handed the ak to the boy and told
him that if he struck just where the
front bone on her neck stuck out,
and struck hard enough, she would
instantly be killed. Terrified by the
ordeal he had just been subjected to,
dragged away from his playmates and
confronted with the sinister and low.
ering elders, he took the ak, rushed
over to the old woman and killed her
as he had been instructed, with one
blow. He was then promptly handed
over to the police by the chiefs, who
seized on the occasion thus to rid
themselves of two drains on their food
supply.-From On Crime and Punish.

a smooth batter about the consistency
of thick cream. If the whites were
beaten separately, fold them in last.
The waffle irons should be thorough

Place spoonful of batter in each

one side until the edges seem to be
browning, then turn the iron and bake
the other side until delicately brown.

Arnold of Hartford ana L. c: Con-
would be better off. He said that
there are too many probation officers
who want to show their authority and
many of them are not living up to the
oath of their office.
The object Of many of them, the
speaker said, is to increase their pay
or else attempt to keep their position
forever by having more children on
their probation list.
Speaking of the Hartford court,
Judge Pallotti said that it was much
more expensive than the old one.
There is a detention room which costs
money to operate, it is necessary to
hire stenographer, to have a ma
tron and an assistant matron as we'll

before the legislature at some session
looking for money and claiming that
It is housing the juvenile court with

Closing his remarks, the speaker as
serted that unless the cities, judges
and people are careful the legisla-
ture may take away some of the
power granted to juvenile courts.
