DESIGNS.
ENTUR|ES
OLD
Printed at Present Time From
Types Of Blocks Used From
100 to 400 Years Ago

Ornamenting plain woven fabrics
Is q very ancient undertaking.
IN the history OF labor-saying
devices, hand printing followed
painting and, 50 perfect did this
process become four or five hun.
dred years ago. that some fabrics
imported today are printed from
blocks 400 years old. 200 years old
and many 100 years old.
These fabrics are just 40 well
liked today as they were when
these blocks were first cut, which
speaks well for the beauty and
practicabllity Of their designs.
All of which by introducing q few
remarks on chintz.
English speech appropriates the
word "Chintz's from the Hindus
who sold hand-printed fabrics 70
the early navigators OF sailing yes
sells or merchants with caravans.
The vagueness probably started IN
those far-off days, for while the
Hindu merchant knew perfectly
well that his own word chhint
meant spotted, the Dutch, Portu-
guese or English ships captain
may have thought that II referred
quite as much to the elaborate
border with which the fabric was
often edged.
Al chinz design need not be -
stricted TO such formal motifs. az
for instance, the Engl sh daisy. II
legitirnately names any small spotted
design, just as chstah, also from
chhint, means the spotted Indian
leopard trained to hunt somewhat
as our dogs are trained. Because
OF the character of chintZ designs
they have been so long appropriated
for the bedroom and the nursery
that they now have q sbed-oOil.y
or nursery look ard are relegated
to those uses.
One prevalent misconception which
seems pretty well fixed in the lar
guage of textile makers. Ii that any
print on q light weight. closely
woven, cotton cloth IS q chintz. and
they call this type IT cloth "chintz
CLOTH, while prints on heavier goods
they call cretonnas.
OF course. use determines mean
Ing. and. IL this use of chintz for
the fabric instead of the design per-
sists It will eventually mean Just
what men determine It shall mean
Of Its origin.
There Is, however, 50 marked an
effort on the part OF well-trained
and persons Of general
culture to accept the word chintz
as naming the design itself. that
this use of the word seems about
inevitable.
Another stumbling block Is in the
term glazed chintz.. Glazing a
fabric Is like vanishing an oil
painting to brighten its colin -
Glazing makes colors stand out dis
tinctly. In the ease Ct glazed ca N
brics. It also takes away much Of
their poor cottony lock. Glazing or
half-glaz ne, semi glnzing.s is ordi-
narily only applied to the thin. plain
" woven. cotton clothes on which
chintz designs are printed. Tine
growing use cf glazai chiRtzes ne
counts for the careless use Of
glazed chintz'' for the plain fabric
although this carries no design

SUCKER LISTS IN 1900 B C.

Hopes of curing the public of it's perennial temptation to star in the sucker role seems rather remote when it is learned that the populace appar ently has changed little in that res pect in the past thirty centuries.
 It has just been discovered that chapter on how to change an old man into a young man of twenty" is con- tained in the oldest treatise on medi- cal science in the world, the Edwin Smith papyrus, evidently by one of the quacks who infested even the ancient medical profession.
 The search for the fountain of per petual youth, which led noted dis coverer to his doom, and which has led the ex-kaiser and some other per- sons of note to the monkey gland school, probably is as old as history and as hopeless.
 If the archeologists continue their researches with sufficient zeal and pertinacity, they no doubt will discov- er that there were ancient promoters of salted gold mines and even fake oil wells, notwithstanding that oil ap- pears to be a modern discovery. In any event, the same impulses moved the people of old as those today. Sol Omon is quoted as saying that ''all is vanity and veXatious in spirit" and we know that there were dollar chas- CTS even in ancient times. Socrates got in bad with the Athenians and had to take the fatal hemlock for his pains because he charged the people of his day with forgetting the solid virtues in quest of material things.
 Quacks and wild caters of all kinds piled their arts and now we find that they had their papyrus sucker lists.
 When we reflect that the people of the United States are mulcted to the tune fo S2,000,000,000 a year by slickers in a variety of come-on and confidence games, ranging from fraud ulent stock sales to such gold brick schemes as amount virtually to high way robbery, we wonder sometimes whether the public wants to be warn ed and protected against the sharks. At any rate of progress that has been made since 1900 B. c. we may enter tain the hope that mankind will be out of the babe in the woods class about the time all the oil is gone and gold is cIassed with the baser metals.

DANGEROUS THEORIES

An increasing flood of literature is being turned loose with a view to establishing new theories o1 dealing with criminals, based on al legged new developments in psychol ogy, psycho-analysis and other allied sciences and pseudo-sciences dealing with mental processes.
 Some of these theories are doubt less more or less sound, having truly scientific foundatoin, but some others are not only foolish but positively dangerous to society through denying the criminals ac countability for his acts.
 One recent crew is that every thing one does is done by compul sion, based on heredity, physical and mental condition, environment and former experience. Taking this statement broadly and literally il is probably true.
 The factor not sufficiently stress ed in this formula, however, is that of experience. If criminals eX perience is that no punishment ordi narily follows the commission o1 crime, naturally he will not feel any great necessity for exercising selfre straint. If, on the other hand, his experience in observing the conse ouences of crime is that sure pun ishment follows, it is very likely tha he will make some effort to over come his criminal impulses, 1 No one can escape the fact tha we have a most deplorable situa ton in this country, with respect tt crime, which continues to increase especially themore serious crimes of murder, assault, burglary ant others which positively menace tn lives and property of peaceable citi zens every hour.
 If swift and certain punishmen were meted out to these major crim inals, thereby making the exaction of law and order a part of thei experience, we should have to dea with fewer "complexes," "compul sions" and "neuroses."

WHAT CHILDREN THINK

We hear a great deal about the waywardness of children of the present, but it occurred to the Rev. Clinton D. Cox of Chicago to get the viewpoints of youngsters them selves, which he did from 175 boys through asking them to write free ly their ideas on What's wrong with the home?"
 Among the answers given by these boys, who ranged from fl to IS years of age, were the following:
 "A boy wants mother who can keep a secret and not tell the neighbors everything about him."
 ''The girls word is taken and the boys word is always doubted"
 Home is court room and ev. cry member of the family tries to take 9 hand in raising the boy"
 Parents never admit it when they are wrong"
 People who led the widest lives before marriage are the strictest parents
 Mothers try to hold other boys up as models too much"
 These are only few of the an swers, but they indicate that boys believe there are a good many faults on the parents side cf the case

ARTISTS AND OTHERS

Artistic temperamentS have of ten clashed with the ideas of those ] who pay for the artists services and the following quotation gives one side of such situation, in which the employer said:
 You can not bring your great gifts to light alone; you show your greatness only through the oppor- tunities we give you. Now you ought to be a little more submis- sive, not so arrogant and head strong. I consider you have neg lected my wishes and worked for the fulfilment of your own" After hearing this the artist, a sculptor, left his unfinished work and his employer in high indigna- ton.
 Those who have followed the con- troversy between Gutzon Borglum and the Stone Mountain Memorial Association might we'll imagine the above as referring to that recent unpleasantness. But not so.
 The words quoted are those of Francis I of France to the Floren- tine sculptor Benvenuto Cellini in 1545
 Cellini wrought in marble, bronze, silver and gold and his works are among the most notable of the Italian Renaissance But he had a most fiery temper, which led him continually into trouble, often into jail, once nearly to the scaffold.
 Aside from his artistic labors, he appears to have been concerned principally with hatreds of men and loves of women He wounded sev. eral adversaries and killed at least three of them His Memoirs, writ ten in an extremely self-assertive style, set forth one of the most sin. gular careers in the history of fine art

WORLDS GREATEST MOTHER

Touched by the horrors of the frightful tornadoes which brought death and destruction to Illinois and other states of the cyclone belt re. gently, the people of other sections liberally responded to appeals for aid.
 But, as always, it was the noble Red Cross that took the lead in re lieving distress and bringing order out of chaos. Henry M. Baker national director of disaster relief for that organization, declared the recent storms to have been the worst in American history-then he set about with characteristic eff ciency and precision to clear up the wreck
 Not only must temporary relief be provided, but means of perma nent rehabilitation must be. furn ished to thousands left without a thing with which to begin life anew But the Red Cross never falters no matter how tremendous the task It is not faltering now.
 Every member who answers the annual roll call must feel renew ed pride in the magnificent work being done. Again the Red Cross has confirmed it's right to the proud title of "the greatest mother in the world"

 While there are exceptions, young persons will usually acknowledge their shortcomings and accept re. proof without resentment if they feel that the parent is right and fair. But it is often difficult for parent and child to see things from the same angle.
