The painted rocks OF Gitchie
GuInie had nothing on the new
spring silks.
They're all decorated with pic
lures and every picture tells a
story.
They're hieroglyphics that is 70
say. And those old hieroglyphics rs
everybody knows meant things. A
picture stood for a word or a lot
of words and people who are skilled
in reading them can figure these
meanings out.
TO be sure, the meaning may not
amount to much. The pictures cop
led, for instance, from the ancient
Persian prints generally have some
such significance as:
This piece of goods was made by
John Smith," or whatever the an"
cient Persian artificer's naule hap
pened to be.
But it's different with the Old
Russian and Hindu and especially
the very old Egyptian prints CO.

case OF the Egyptian stuff, to one
who understands them, these pic
turings make good sense.
Suppose, for example, a society
woman richly gowned in n OF
these Egyptian silks, chances to
meet a learned Egyptologist-the
latter will be able to take a look and
then read her dress right off.
Not Very Popular
This sort of thing promises to be
SO weird and exciting that there's
expected to DO little demand for
plain silks. even in the most raw
iShing colors.
A feeble attempts being made to
popularize single-color prints on
white backgrounds but they're not
making much of a hit-much too
tame and respectable in comparison
with the Tut-ankh-Amen patterns
the coming seasons to behold.

EVERYDAY HINTS

stop IN this shop a minute with me, will you? I have to
BUY some hair nets. Seems to me I'm always buying them. One
strand breaks and of course the net is useless. Do you have the
same trouble, Mary?''
Yes, but | think I've found a solution to it. Did you
every try mending a broken thread in your hair net with a hair
from your combings? Try it next time one breaks and see
il you don't think it's a good scheme9"
"Your are the most ingenious person, Mary. You seem to
have a solution for every problem from a broken hair net
to a broken heart. Now tell me some more of your household
hints. What do you do when you wash your black silk hose
to keep them from turning dingy?'
"You have an exalted opinion of my knowledge, you old
dear, but l can tell you how to wash your black silk hose so
as to keep the color in them. Try washing your black silk hose in
blue water. You will find this will preserve the color and
keep them from getting that rusty, faded appearance. Of
course you always wash new stockings before You wear them,
don't yon2 It will practically double the life of your hose
if you do.''

Literature Dept.
Event interesting

Miss Elizabeth vermlIye gave the
second in a series Of lecture on THE
Bible as Literature" being auspiced
by the department of literature of
the Woman's Club, IN the High
school library yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. A. c. Clarke spoke a few words
of greeting, after which Miss Ver-
milye taking as the specift topic,
How the Bible, As We Have 1t,
Came to Be-" gave in interesting
outline, what the speaker said were
not radical views, but the concensus
Of conservative thought and study.
AS literature, the English Bible is
a masterpiece. 1t teaches man the
most effective wav to civilize and
humaniZe his kind, tc elevate and
purify public morals to efficiently
maintain the precei'ts of law and or
der and to improve all the relations
of social and domestic life.
Miss velmiiye beautifully told the
story of the poetic philosophical
drama of Job. Why good men sun
fer was not answered accurately in
that book, the speaker said.
There + many discrepancies in
the Bible. due no nopbt to eros in
translating. Surprisingly enough
there are few errors in the hand
wrought copies. This is accounted
by the fact that the early scribes,
especially among the Hebrews, were
required to throw away the skin of
vellum, upon which they made a
mistake. All erasure was a disgrace,
and only the finest writer's were ded-
icated to the sacred task of compil-
ing the Holy Book. There are over
500 translations OF the Bible and it
is mostly in the translation from the
Hebrew that the discrepancies are
found. Hebrew is a marvellous Ian
guage, but because Of the absence OF
vowels, it is an impossible language
to translate without error.
The speaker, concluding, said
there is nowhere to be found such
a series of beautiful ideas and adj
mirable moral maS;ms, as in the
English Bible. out chief classic, the
Book of which Macaulay said: "If
everything else in our language
should perish, it would alone suffice
10 show the whole extent of the
beauty and power of that language"
Miss Vermiiye maintained the fine
impression made on the occasion
of her first appearance here. The
next lecture, which will be given
March 81, will be looked forward to
with much pleasure.

NUTRITION WORK PUSHED:
REPORT MADE ON SCHOOL 9

A report of the conditions found
in No. 9 school in connection with
the weighing of the children in the
nutrition work which is now under
way, was submitted to the Board OF
Education at an adjourned meeting
last night, BY NJ. r. Letter, at the
request of Christian Andersen, q
member OF the board. The report
which explains itself follows:
"Mr. Chris Andersen,
Member Board of Education,
City.
MY Dear Mr.. Andersen:
I'm reply to your request for q
report Of the weighing and measGr-
ing done at No. 3 school by the
nurses employed by the Woman's
Club, I submit the following:
NO. OF children weighed and
measures $50
mo. of children found to be IN
der weight and under-nour-
lshed
percentage .26.5
This means that 156 children can
not compete in their class work with
properly nourished children and ac-
counts in a large measure for the
large number OF backward children
in this school. This means that these
children are costing the city more
than their share for their education
because they must remain in school
longer than the others and also be-
cause they lose so much schooling
on account Of sickness.
II understand that after weighing
and measuring the children in No.
z school, the nurses concluded that
at least twenty-five per cent of the
children of the city must be under
weight, that is I'VE 1000 children in
our city suffering from this cause.
Il have talked with the nurse that
does this work in one OF the schools
of Newark and she tells me that
nos Of the parents buy the milk
for their own children hence the ex-
pense in this direction is small. Only
the poorest need to be provided for.
IF the Board OF Education can
see their way clear TO give this a
trial by employing at least one
nurse for this work the Woman's
Club have 1925 to help it along and
the Anti-Tuberculosis League will
give the service OF n Of their
nurses two days per week.

ten weeks old and weighs twelve

weighed eight and th~ree-fourths at

He has never had a natural move

anything better for me to do?"
Answer
There is apparently nothing wrong
with your milk except that it may be
too high in fat for tine baby. He has
gained about an average of six

that probably your best relief will

Dessert
By BERTHA f.. EHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia University

What to have for dessert IS one of
the questions a housekeeper has to
answer daily.
If the meal has been heavy, des-
sert should be light.
If fish has been served, fruit is &C
ceptable.
Never serve a custard or very soft,
smooth dessert when the meat or
fish has been boiled.
Prepared gelatin buildings are a
great convenience. The lemon flavor
is a good foundation for a snow pud-
ding. Sage, tapioca, rice, cornmeal
and farina are excellent for pud-
dings. combined with apples. canned
fruit and the dried sweet fruits, like
figs. prunes and dates. Fritters are
-favortteS with most people, and, in
cold weather. griddle cakes and
waffles.
The commonest complaint against
pie and steamed buildings is that
they cause stomach difficulty, but
too oHen reason is that we eat them
after a very sufficient meal.
