FROM SINK TO STUDIO


This is the rise taken by certain
kinds of soap. including our old fav-
orite Ivory and some others of simi-
lar consistency. After it was discov-
cred how admirably some Of these
soaps could be used for small sculp-
lures the Proctor and Gamble Com
pany offered prizes of $3.50, $3.50 and
Sl00 to sculptors whose work should
be judged for beauty, art qualities and
| technique. The art center of New
| York will loan these pieces for exhb-
it in any educational displays any
where in the United States for per-
iod of six months. Is this not the ac-
me of "artful' advertising?
COCOANUT FOOD FOR
BABIES
A medical research develops the
fact that the pulp of young cocoanuts
contains all the ingredients of moth
ers milk and that Hawaiian babies are
frequently weaned from mothers milk
to cocoanut pulp. Further experiments
by the Pan-Pacific Research Insti-
tute in Honolulu are to be made look
ing into the possibility of dehydration

KEEPING A SECRET
The ability to keep secret their
search for five lost mail bags, made
the postal authorities of Syracuse, N.
Y, save 100000 of negotiable secur-
tiles to their owners for the bags
lay buried in snow within a few feet
of crowds that pass by the thousands
daily right in front of the terminal
station. None but postal employees
engaged in the search and not pen
ny was lost.
WHY RUN INTO TROUBLE?
The World Press Congress which
was to have met in Spain or Italy this
summer has called off the date or at
least has shifted the place of meet
ing which will be announced later.
Conditions are too unsettled in eth
er of these countries to b. n 'iting
to world conference.

CHURCHES HAVE THEIR
SEASON TOO
The church attendance in St. Pet
ersburg, Fla, has passed the overflow
stage. 1t has become deluge. Sev-
eral of the larger churches, with seat
ing capacity of 1000 are compelled to
hold services, one following the other
with exactly the same program, to
two packed congregations. Another
plan of the Congregational church just
put in operation is to sell 500 pews at
$50 each for the season and devote
the money to pay an indebtedness on

ENDOWMENT FOR SULGROVE
MANOR
In less than two years since they
pledged themselves to maintain Sui
grave Manor, the Colonial Danes an
nounce the endowment fund of $780,
900 necessary for its upkeep to be en-
tirely subscribed and from now on the
preservation of this historic spot will
be passed from the English society to
them. The manor was a gift from the
British Peace Committee in commem-
oration of the Tooth anniversary Of
peace between the nations. Americans
helped in the restoration and take it
over entirely now
ALWAYS IN THE LEAD
In all modern home conveniences
America leads. 1t is surprising howev-
er that in the matter of telephones
which is a necessity in our country
there should still be such disparity
with England as the last tabulation
shows. In the United States we have
143 telephones per thousand people,
in England only Fl per thousand.
There is right now, however cam
paign to improve their notoriously in
ferior telephone system and to enlarge
the number of users by this means.
Radio users are increased by leaps and
bounds so that report on this recent
acquisition to home comfort or enter
tainment would vary~v by thousands
from week to week At the present
remarkable price of SIPS radio sets bid
fair to become as universal i'll use as
the piano and phonograph.

HISTORIC FLAG ON
WILSON'S TOMB
The flag that was carried at the
head of the first contingent of Ameri-
can troops parading in London after
the entry of the United States into the
world war will be placed above the
tomb of Woodrow Wilson. The flag
was saluted at that time, the summer
of 1917 by King George who said these
were the first foreign soldiers to
march in the British capital since
1888. This flag was subsequently car
RED by engineers of the 18th regiment
throughout the war.
Thus it is seen to be most fitting
emblem for Wilson's tomb, or as an
emblem to have found its fit resting
place there.
