Progressive Tightening.

In tightening opposed nuts, such as
those holding the bearing caps in
place, one nut should be drawn up a
little and then the opposite one
tightened a little. 1t is wrong to
tighten one nut fully and then proceed
with the other, as this method tends
to spring the metal and cause poor
contact.

A child born today will be strong in
mind and joyous in disposition. You
are capable and resolute if today is
your birthday. You have the tenn
permanent and intellect of the sci
entists. Life strikes you as a mathe-
matical proposition and you accept it
and enjoy it as an experience. Even
the things you do not understand you
classify and name and enter in your
memory as mysteries which you are
too busy to solve for the moment-but
which might promise some interesting
sport for your declining years. You
never doubt eventual simplicity of So
luton.
Your mind is clear. cold and logical
neither brilliant nor rapid-but ex-
tremely accurate In measurement and
estimate.
You are kind and congenial in man
ner and on the whole intensely ir-
ritating to sensitive people who
almost never intimate-not even with
yourself. In fact, 1t is doubtful
whether you are capable of breaking
the strict rule of your personal pri-
vacy.
You have a fine command of Ian
guage and a gift of expression, pow
erful in its frankness and courageous
in it's simplicity.
You are ina ginatively creative. but
you have profound appreciation Of
the fine arts and particularly of music
because you reverence them as feel
ings Of a life which is completely

You are neither affectionate nor

How to Stock Up on Chinaware

a plating, and far less durable than
the china itself. For these reasons it
Is absolutely necessary that all china
ware be washed with the greatest
care II you wish to preserve its
beauty, and Of course you do.
Never allow china to stand long
before being washed, especially after
having been used for serving salads,
gravies, or saited food. and do not
allow the dishes to stand in water.
Hot water, or water containing alkali,
strong soaps. washing powders, soda.
or any cleaning preparations, are apt
to ruin the decorations. and remove
all gold outlines.
The most skillful methods known to
experts in the china industry are
used In the effort to make decorations
permanent. but were the decorations
to be subjected to the same degree of
heat as the china, they would entirely
disappear in the firing kim, Gold
decorations have to be fired at a low
er temperature than other colors be-
cause gold melts at a lower degree OF
heat than other color ingredients.
Lukewarm water with the purest of
soap, IL soap Is absolutely necessary,
is all that ever should be used in
cleaning fine china. Only few pieces
at a time should be placed in the pan,
and they should be washed quickly,
rinsed in clear, lukewarm water, and
dried Immediately with a warm towel.

roentinr over the fact that beautiful
china. after only few years. or
months of use, has become too shabby
to appear on the dinner table. Grand
mothers china is compared with the
modern make, and the manufacturer
with the owner. Give your china
proper care and it's decorations will
neither fade nor wear of.
Many people make the mistake Of
supposing that thin china breaks
more easily than thick, heavy pieces,
but the fact Is, that the lasting quali-
ties Of china are not necessarily de-
termined by its thickness or weight.
A hne quality of porcelain will not
break easily, and IL nickeled will not
show as badly as when the same thing
happens to soft china.
All decorations on china are simply
