injury, Bessie was run down and

LACQUER WARE
Of JAPANESE
HIGH ART
Makers ContriVe Products So
CunningIy They Defy Compe-
tition Even by Chinese

Old Japanese lacquer ware-tfat
is, not the imitation modern com
mercial article-made in almost
every variety of color and design
and so cunningly and beautifully
manufactured as to defy competi-
ton on the part, not only of
European and American, but
strange to say-of the most skilful
Chinese artificers-is much in de-
mand at art and curio and antique
shops and the fine old pieces com.
mand high prices.
1t may be well to mention that
the lacquer ware exported from
Japan is, generally speaking, that
kind into which a preparation of
gold powder enters. and which is
known to the japanese as makiye.
The groundwork of lacquer con.
sists in the sap of the urushi tree,
the fruit Of which produces the
vegetable wax. The Japanese dis
tinguish between the male and
female urushi tree, the former bear.
ing no fruit.
The varnish is taken from the
tree when it is from four to eight
years old; at the last named period
it is cut down. The drawing Of the
sap Is begun in the middle Of sum
mer, and continues till about the
month of November.
A few words on the mode in
which designs in lacquer are
worked.
The first step is to trace on an
extremely thin paper the pattern
or design. and the tracing is then
gone over with a composition Of
lacquer varniSh and vermillion. 1t is
then laid on whatever it is pro-
posed to impart the design to, and
well rubbed over with q bamboo
spatula.
The paper is now removed ard
the outline impressed upon the ma.
terial.
When this industry is carried on
in hot weather, the varnish dries
very quickly, and consequently
where the pattern is a good deal
involved, small portion only OF
the design is executed at one time,
and the gold powder, which enters
largely into most or the lacquer
ware, is applied 60 each part as it
is being executed.
IN doing this portion Of the work
a large and very soft brush is used.
and by means of this the gold
powder is well rubbed in with the
lacquer or varnish.
The work Is then left to dry for
about twenty-four hours after which
the pattern is lightly rubbed over
with charcoal, by which process
the skillfM workman secures even
ness of surface.
The work is next rubbed with
polishing powder, and carefully
wiped.
After all the finishing work has
been done. such as the tracing Of
leaves on trees. the petals OF
flowers. the wings Of birds and
after all has dried well, a lacquer
varnish known as yoshimo urushi
is well rubbed in. and the whole is
then polished with horn dust,
which polishing process is done with
the finger and is continued until
the gold glitter shows out well.

"He wanted to know how typhoid

I told him of three definite types.
The treatment for the disease caused
by one type of germ would not be
the correct treatment for the disease
caused by another type"
DIR. Fainan said that after Shep.
herds last lessons three tubes Of
typhoid germs were missing.
Then followed DR.. Faiman's yer.
sion of the letter story-the letter in
which Shepherd was said to have
shown his first interest in germs and
asking about courses in bacteriology.
Shepherd says this letter never ex-
listed.

Asked About Records.
Then he turned the. converse
ton casually to the way the uni.

kept a file of correspondence.
told him we did and showed it to
him.
There's q letter here some

he proceeded to run through the
files until he came to the di-
vision where he found his original
letter written to the university. He
folded It up and put it in his

right with me-"
Questioning by q States attor-

CONF FORT IN AUTO
IS HARD PROBLEM
Many Factors Considered by
Engineers TackIing
Question.

The problem Of determining NEAR ms
for improving the riding comfort of
automobiles is being given serious
study by automotive engineers. To
arrive at solution many factors must
he weighed, as physical effects. mental
reactions and the properties of springs.
tires, steering mechanisms and other
parts OF the car. as well as vibration
and noise.
The action Of simple single springs
and of the combination of front and
rear springs on automobiles IN inn
portant factor in riding comfort was
analyzed in a comprehensive paper on
spring dynamics read before the re-
cent semi-annual meeting of the So
ciety of Automotive Engineers by o.
Stromberg Motor Devices Company.
Discomfort Analysed.
Discomfort felt by the PASSENGER. he
found, was due TO force impressed on
his person by upward movements of
the car body and by the rate of
change of the force. An upward force
Of more than 800 pounds was dis
tinctly uncomfortable. but smaller
forces. changing rapidly or repeated
for A long time. also became uncom-
Portable and tirfng.
The more flexible the spring the
more efficient it is in decreasing the
upward force against the car body
and the rate of increase of pressure
against the passenger. The amount
of force and its rate of application are
increased markedly by either stiffness
or friction in the springs. Increas sc
in car speed does not greatly increase
the upward force. Auxiliary springs
add stiffness and friction and change
the initial detection of the main
springs
When the front wheels of q car pa ss
over road bump the short stiff
front springs lift the front end of the
frame and tend to rotate it around a
point in the frame about one-third of
the distance back from the front axle
TO the rear axle, at the same time de
pressing the rear springs. If the
speed of the car is such that the rear
wheels strike the bump while so de
pressed. the resulting reaction is
greater and the body rises higher and
quicker.
The ra pidity of pitching of the body
is determined mainly by the flexibility
Of the front springs. and the author
strongly advocated the use of longer
and more flexible front springs with
more clearance between the front axle
and frame, so that the axle would moi
ordinarily strike the bumpers that
limit the spring action.
Pitching Period Varies.

should be chosen. Some hardy folks,
well used to sleeping in the open,
ca n slumber soundly in sleeping ba &
on the ground. but for the occa Sional
camper a light bed will be found most
desirable.
A folding canvas and .~plenty of
lightweight blankets will solve this
problem best. Newspapers spread first
on the cot will keep the chill night
air from beneath and will add much
TO the warmth of the sleeper.
Shelter should be selected carefully.
1t will vary with the scope of the
trip and the length of time the Cd amper
intends to spend away from the home
f1reside. 1t should be chosen with A

Some campers may fine the small
pup-tent satisfactory. but one of larger
dimensions in which the camp bed
may be wholly sheltered will prove
more suitable TO the needs of the
average tourist. The lean-to tent which
may be attached TO the auto is one
very generally used. The fact, how
ever. that the car cannot be moved
while it is set up, must be taken into
consideration. The lean-to tent should
be pitched with the roof slanting to-

Mosquito Nets.

Another desirable type Of tent is
the "A" tent with the ground cloth
sewed as a part of the walls. When
the tent is unpacked for the first
time, the way the manufacturer has
packed it should bel noted. and it can
then be repacked compactly for easy
carriage. One should not forget bon

Another way of dealing successfully
with the mosquito bane is to fasten
two sticks crossed at the top and
bottom of the cot and drape mosquito
netting over these supports.

be worn by the camper: tor econo-

Woolen wear is a protection against

for complete comfort it should not be

A sweater and waterproof gar
