Used Eggs To Mix Coiors

Many pictures which pass as oil
paintings We're not done with oil at
all. according to the directors OF
the Foss Art museum at Harvard
AS early as the Twelfth century eggs
were used for mixing paint in Italy
and for hundreds of years painters
all over Europe did their work with
pigments so made.
The white OF the eggs repla cod
vegetable gums as a binding medium
for many of the pigments; often
the white and yoll were mixed with
water and fig juice. forming a tenn
pcra, from which fine colors were
ground and laid on white plaster
covered surfaces.
In the perfection of the art the
yolk alone was used, and the quality
of that article wa closely examined

Germany Has Traffic Troubles

Germans are the greatest Jay
walkers" in Europe. Automobiles
have been so few In the larger Ger
man cities. and for the most part
the streets are so broad, that
pedestrians have paid little attention
to traffic. Accommodating drivers
have limited their speed and move
ments to suit the public, which
walked all over the streets
But the times are changing. With
the stabilized mark motor cars are
appearing in large numbers, and the
German cities have been forced to
study methods practiced abroad in
controlling traffic. Several police
officers have recently returned from
the United States and England,
where they observed modern methods
of control.
Already in Berlin the police have
instituted reforms. but as the officers
entrusted with traffic control are in
experienced. the first effects have
been a decided slowing down of
pedestrians and motor traffic on
crossings in the central section of
the city. and much dissatisfaction.
The control is still in the arguing
stage. Motor car drivers argue with
the crossing policemen and the
policemen talk back, while impatient
pedestrians and lines of vehicles
await signals to move on.
