SILVERPLATING AN AUTO.

Silverplating the trimmings of an
automobile may be done without the
use of electric current, and in many
cases without the removal of the
part, by the use of a preparation
which can easily be made.
Nitrate of silver crystals are dis
solved in water until the water will
dissolve no more. The solution is
then changed into silver chloride by
the addition of strong salt water. The
solution should be mixed in a glass
vessel and on the addition Of the salt
water, the silver chloride will be pre-
cipitated to the bottom.
The silver chloride is separated by
fiitering through filter paper. The
precipitate should be washed several

Famed in history and song, rich in
tradition and natural beauty, cradle
OF liberty, scene of dissensions, home
of illustrious leaders and noble dead,
Virginia, in the Spring Of her glory,
opens her arms to a million American
tourists!
In the Valley of the Shenandoah and
amid the Blue Ridge Mountains are
trekking the modern caravans, paying
homage TO Natures handiwork and
pausing here and there at spots hal
lowed by the acts of man. Wild flow
ers and fragrant apple blossoms, over
shadowed by the verdant tops of fas-
cinating hills, lie in the paths TO Nir-
ginia's historic sites.
Never before have these places been
made so easily accessible to the motor
ist Never before has Virginia drawn
such an army of tourists bent on ex-
ploring her hidden treasures. The
lonesome trail and the wooded path
are gradually being made a part of
Virginia s history and in their stead
are coming. even in the interior, the
wide, smooth roads Of the motor age.
Motor Trip Is Delight.
A motor tour in the heart of Vir-
ginia is a privilege and a delight.
Many new roads TO old landmarks are
being opened up, and so the motorist
who would tour profitably and en-
ioyably may look TO these columns
Of The Star from week TO week for
selected tours into Virginia, Mary
land and other neighboring States.
The trip this week is into the beauti-
full Shenandoah Valley-from Wash
ington to Staunton.
BY the accompanying map the
motorist will note there is a wide
choice of routes. One of the newest
and one that is highly recommended
by the touring experts of the Amer
lean Automobile Association, is the
route by way of Leesburg. Washing

times by filtering with clear water
and should then be allowed to dry
thoroughly. When dry, the silver
chloride Is mixed with three parts
(by weight) of fine salt and two parts
of cream of tartar.
To use, a cloth wet with water is
dipped into the powder and applied
to the parts TO be plated. After the
silver plating is formed, polishing ma y
be done with chalk or whiting. An
occasional application of the prepara-
ton will keep the parts bright and
new-looking in appearance.

BETTER THAN CALOMEI
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are Harmless Substitute

Dr.. Edwards Olive TabIets-the
substitute for caIomel-are a mild
but sure laxative, and their effect on
the liver is almost instantaneous.
These little oilve-colored tablets are
the result Of Dr.. Edwards determi
nation not to treat liver and bowel
complaints with calomeI.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or calo-
mel. They take hold of the trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure
tho liver at the expense Of the tee n I?
CalomeI sometimes plays havoc with
the gums. So do strong liquids. 1t
is best not to take caIomel. Let Dr..

place.

BRIGHT COLOR OF MALE BIRDS
SERVES AS THEIR PROTECTION
Construction of Eye Makes Gaudy Hues Less Easy to
Detect-Dull Females Inconspicuous to Diff
ferently Constructed Human Eye.

Denying the plausibility of the long
accepted notion that bright feathers Of
male birds serve to attract their
mates, DR.. Austin H. Clark Of the
United States National Museum, here,
has announced that the structure Of
birds eyes and direct observation Of
their relation to their environment in
dicate that both the bright colors of
the male and the modest hues Of the
female hide the wearers from their
Sharp-eyed enemies.
The idea that our most conspicuous
birds are hidden by their brilliant
coats appears paradoxial, but DR..
Clark points out that the conspicuous
ness depends on who does the looking.
The secret lies in the construction of
the birds eye. 1t differs chiefly from
our own and other mammals eyes. he
says, in being built about a lens of
shorter focus. The image projected by
the lens of a birds eye therefore lies

shifting back and forth. Beyond this
plane the landscape become blurred,
and tends to be reduced to the average
color of all it's various elements, so
that the creature least conspicuous to
a mammal is the one most nearly like
the average color.
The dull-coated female bird, which
stays near, the nest is therefore pro-
tected by her color from attack by
mammals, DR.. Clark maintains, while
the brightly-colored male, living in the
tree tops and perching on the ends of
branches, is protected by the gaudier
hues from attack from other birds
with their wonderfully perfect eyes.

DICTATOR ACKNOWLEDGES HIS
IGNORANCE

A glaring instance of ignorance and
incompetence comes from Gov. Hunt
when he called on Judge White this
week for information on the legal
status of Arizona and it's claims to
the waters of the Colorado. The gov
ernor has heretofore made it plain
that he knows all about the Colorado
issue and has repeatedly uttered his
ultimatum, going so far as to tell the
whole world to go to the hot place,
If it did not wish to accept his dicta-
tion. He has John w. Murphy, At
torney General of Arizona, who knows,
or ought to know, as much as any
litigant in the state about Arizona and
its inherent rights to the Colorado.
Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly
to be wise.'

INFORMATION FOR sTocKMEN

Frequent droughts constitute the
chief menace to the livestock industry
of the Southwest. Careful manage
ment, with foresight and planning in
good years, is essential to meet these
emergencies and place the industry
on more stable basis.
Overstocking has been one Of the
main factors in starvation losses. In
average years the range should be
so stocked that 10 to Is per cent of
the palatable herbage of important
range plants is left unused. This will
safeguard the range and allow some
leeway in years a little below the
average.
The breeding herd of cattle should
be limited to the number the range
can support in "lean'' rather than the
"fat" years. Any excess forage in
good years can be used by surplus
livestock which can be disposed of
readily in time of drought.
The loss during the critical spring
period may be Offset to large extent
by reserving some winter range for
use by poor cattle during that period.
The ideal arrangement would be a
division of the range into summer and
winter grazing areas.
Breeding cows will do better on the
range if calves are weaned in the
fall at to months of age instead
of being allowed to follow the cows
all winter.
Poor animals should not be requir-
ed to travel long distances to water.
Watering places for cattle should not
be over miles apart on compara-
lively level range, or more than 11a to
8 miles on rough range.
Supplemental feeding will assist in
materially keeping down the loss.
Cottonseed products, irrigated land
and dry-land forage crops, and native
range plants that may be specially
prepared are the principal feed avail
able. Dry-land forage crops may be
raised in good years on favorable
areas in the Southwest and these may
be harvested and stored for use dur
ing critical times.
Careful handling of the cattle as
well as segregating the weak animals
and feeding them according to their
needs will prove advantageous
Sheep are more readily handled
than cattle and there is usually a
better market for this class of live
stock.
