American Articles Now Com
pare FavorabIy With Best
Foreign Articles.

Why should foreign manufacture
ers have an almost exclusive mon
opoly Of supplying the American
market with pottery, earthenwarc
and china, including plates, dishes.
pitchers, placques, ETC., showing
historical scenes. places, events and
statesmen Of this country? There
was an excuse for this state of
things when the art of pottery in
this country was still in its infancy,
But now there is absolutely no
reason why these articles, com
memorating American events.
scenes and persons, should be sup
piled by English, Japanese, German
and Austrian potterieS. For the
ceramic art in this country has
made giant strides in recent years
and 10 producing work that can
well bear comparison with the best
foreign article.
The earliest pottery with printed
designs of American subjects was
! made at Liverpool, England, to.
! ward the latter part of the last, or,
more properly, the eighteenth cen
fury. The art of transfer printing
on earthenware had been practiced,
to a limited extent, for about forty
years before the English potters
! turned their attention to the Amer.
lean market.
Liverpool ware is distinguished
black prints of copperplate engrav,
ings, usually under the glaze, or
frequently covered with a gloss
which gives them the appearance
of having been applied beneath the
glaze. Occasionally these prints
were retouched by hand with color,
but the majority Of pieces which
have come down to us are printed
In black, an occasional one being
found in green or brown.
The three predominating articles
decorated in this fashion consisted
of pitchers more properly called
jugs), bowls and mugs. Plates, tea.
pots and an occasional piece of
some other pattern sometimes turn
up. The pitchers are mainly of
one form; tall, gracefully curving
body, with sharp, pointed lip. whose
upper line is a continuation of the
horizontal line of the rim. The
handle is a plain oval, starting on
a level with the top Of the body and
terminating about the center of the
side. They are called Colonial -
The bowls are also plain and sim
pie in outline and differed only in
size, and the mugs were stiffly
cylindrical in form and usually
about six inches in height, evidently
intended as receptacles for ale or
other beverages.
The decorative subjects on this
cream ware are varied in character,
including maritime emblems and
ships, Biblical designs, Masonic de-
vices, political capricatures. One of
the most familiar designs found on
cream ware pitchers shows the por.
traits Of Samuel Adams and John
Hancock placed side by side. and
around the medallion is printed:

the Prescribed Patriots Of America,
Liberty, Virtue, Peace, Justice and
Equity to All Mankind"

COST Of HEL|UM
FOR A|RSH|P
IS HUGE
One Filling for Shenandoah
Is 1925. 900 Now and
Has Been Higher.
By FRANK SAVAGE,
international News Service.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Before
purchasing a dirigible for private
pleasure purposes. it might bead
visabie to run a calculating eye
down the right-hand side of these
figures.
Helium is being produced at
relatively cheap price at present,
only six.and-a-half cents a cubic
foot, while last year it was up
around ten cents per cubic foot, ac-
cording to figures pust made avail
able by the American Chemical
Society.
Since air ships like the Shenan-
doah use about five million cubic
feet, the cost of the gas is now a
mere $325,OOO. while hitherto 1t
amounted to approximately $500, 900.
II one has a few hundred thou
sand to get rid of he can invest 1t
In helium-inflated dirigible and
then land on some nice convenient
picket fence or spearIpointed flag
staff.
Use of helium exclusively-for the
present at least-in Government
and commercial airships is urged,
1t being declared that the last three
grave disasters have occurred to
ships using hydrogen and the acct
dents have been primarily due to
fire.
In the reference to the relative
safety Of hydrogen and hellum
statement declares ut is time for
the facts to be thoroughly known
and appreciated" Hydrogen could
be used later for "freighters" when
we are more accustomed to aerial
navigation, it is suggested.
The statement points out that
the United States has a virtual
monopoly on this valuable new gas,
that there Is belt" through the
southwest and the Middle West
dotted with wells from which the
gas containing helium can be ex-
tracted In commercial quantities,
and that this advantage should be
conserved by the United States
through \ prohibiting expectation.
The wells are regarded an invalu.
able possession in war time, since
helium is noninflammable and there
| fore immune to incendiary shells.
Since helium costs considerable
money, some Ingenious methods
have been devised to compensate
for changing loads and other vari-
able factors affecting the lift" in

She Never Complains.
Mrs. Annis Lewis first came to
this institution two years ago, suf-
fering from diabetes, and it was
found. necessary finally to remove
her right leg at the hip. She re-
covered sufficiently to return to her
home, but a few months later dia-
betes again asserted itself, and she
became a patient at Providence
once more. Every known method
was resOrted to in attempts to save
the remaining limb, but finally it
had to be taken, off at the hip.
Since then, Mrs. Lewis has been
confined to a wheel chair. Only
she herself, the physicians, and the
nurses know what she has under
gone in physical and mental torture.
But no one ever has heard a word
of complaint. She is the sunshine
and inspiration of the wards and
hospital, reading her prayer book
ceaselessly and spending hours OF
the day in our chapel praying for
the sick and afflicted. The Sisters
OF Charity, who direct Providence,
say that because of her many ard

You will be surprised at the amount. of muck that will come out with the soda solution. Flush the system out with clear water, go over the hose con nections and put in new ones, if they seem to be required.
 Next tackle the fuel system. Discon- meet the line connections at tank, vacuum tank, carburetor. Wash all strainers and sediment cups in clean gasoline. If you suspect scale in the main tank, agitate 1t and drain out the contents into vessel After the scale has settled, the gasoline may be poured back, Into the tank.
