The wheel of time will turn back
ward for the members of the Angus

bone-fide "kiddie party" at the Club

bring their favorite dollies if they
wish. A prize is TO be awarded the
girl who presents the most youthful
appearance and those who excel in
certain of the jolly games are also

striking effect might be obtained
by painting the treads of the back

the risers red to match the trim Of
the house. A fower-bordered brick

Distinctive Forms Of Decoration

IT. HE motorist riding through
the country sees all sorts of
houses. but the only ones
which really arrest his attention
are those which have certain dis
tinctive touches, here and there,
giving them individuality and
character.
Many of these individual touches
are given or are emphasized
through the medium Of paint. The
painted wooden house always has
been popular in this country, and
its popularity is on the increase
because more small houses are be-
ing built than ever before, by peo-
pie of modest means. And the
small house is both economical and
attractive when built of wood and
harmoniously decorated.
Such delightful effects may be
achieved with paint. One distinct
lively decorated house has been
painted orange, while it's gables,
dormers and other windows have
been outlined In black and the
wood Of the easements painted a
rich cream. Plain wooden shut
tsrs painted green against a white

ceiling height is nine feet.
There are four rooms inside
living room, kitchen and two
bedrooms. The minimum hall
space has been used. The main
room has an open fireplace and
convenient closet in the corner
beside it.
The kitchen is well equipped
and large enough to take a
breakfast set. Meals may also
be set on a gateleg table be-
fore the fireplace in the living
room or served out on the
porch in fine weather. This
porch, by the way. might well
be enclosed as sunroom and
used as an emergency sleeping
room.
The bedrooms are well set
off from the rest of the house
and each has a good sized
closet and two windows. The
bathroom is located so as to
be equally accessible to either.

Near Chichester, England, recently
the ancient law of treasure trove was
called in a legal case. A governess,
walking along Selsey beach, had
found an armlet half buried in the
sand-a worthless old ornament, she
thought, of no interest or value. But
investigation by her employer re-
.vealed that the armlet was of pure
gold, and subsequent examination by
scientists proved that It was British
In workmanship and probably 1000
years old-a rare relic of the pre-
Roman period in the British isles
No one knew what legal disposition
Of the armlet was to be made, until
attorney for the British museum
proved that under the old treasure
trove law it must be turned over to
the government, the government how
ever, being obliged to pay the finder
30 per cent of its value. But its
value. said the scientists, was meal
culable. After an interesting court
case a Jury of Chicester farmers
awarded the girl EGO (about $1OO)
and the British museum took the
Jewel.

SOMETHING NEW
UNDER THE SUN

An unusual use Of telephone service
was recently demonstrated in Rich
mond, Va, when J. c. Lawrence, presi-
dent of large rubber company, "at-
tended" a conference in that city by
long distance telephone from Chicago.
Mr.. Lawrence was unable to reach
Richmond in time to attend a sales
mems conference in the Offices of
Richard Gwathmey C Co., local dis.
tributors for his firm, because Of a
train wreck Not wishing to delay the
conference, he Immediately arranged
with the telephone company for long
distance line to Richmond.
The telephone company arranged
paratus, including eleven headsets, at
Richmond, the headsets being so con-
nected that each man at the confer
ence could hear Mr.. Lawrence from
Chicago
The conference was conducted by
Richmond Company. MI. Toone con-
versed with Mr.. Lawrence, and then
Mr. Lawrence made his talk, which
continued for forty-seven minutes.
All the statesmen heard clearly, and
the conference was considered as sue
cessful as if Mr.. Ii wrence had been
there in person. All questions of the
statesmen were relayed by Mr.. Toone,
as he was the only member Of the
conference in Richmond equipped to
talk to Mr.. Lawrence.
1t is believed that this is the first
conference held over so long tele.
phone circuit, and requiring special
facilities. It's importance was due to
the fact that the Richmond company
was making it's annual special drive
for business. and MI. Lawrence wanted
to discuss the rubber situation with
them.

This month sees the opening of the
Eastern Shore League. Circumstances
are such in this organization as to
make constant changes in the lineup
Of the different teams. There is no
club that is supported by the gate re-
ceipts. Deficits invariably SAGE all
the towns of the circuit when the gate
money is considered. Consequently,
club owners have to recuperate by the
sale of those players who show ability
enough to attract higher class organi-
cations. Many men are disposed OF
along this line, and their places have
to be filled. Then, again, much ex-
perimentation goes on, unsatisfactory
material is unloaded, and changes are
made continuously up to the end of
the season.

The base ball season so far is not
running true to the winters dope;
that is, in the American League.
Representatives, saw the Athletics
leading from the start, but they are
now struggling along in sixth place.
Washington, the 1925 champions are
having hard time to maintain place
il the first division. New York seems
to have the edge on the rest, and is
knocking the ball hard. The Morale
Of this team is wonderfully helped by
the return to form of "Babe" Ruth.
This player is reported to be himself
again and has reached the conclusion
that team cannot be built around
one big man. He, therefore, is work.
ing with the rest and has fitted him
self as cog into the wheel of the
machine, and is not trying to be the
whole works. He is now not trying
to knock them 'em out of the lot, but
is bending his energies toward team
work. The result is New York is at
the top, because of his helping out
tactics.

"WHITE METAL" HOAX
is UPSET BY TESTS


Washington. - The mysterious
white metal" which many mineral
prospectOrs in the West consider to
have strange properties Of hardening
iron and steel when heated in con-
tact with those materials. has no ex-
istence In fact, states the bureau Of
mines. Department of Commerce, fol-
lowing repeatedly experiments with
purpOrted specimens Of metal submit
ted for examination.
There il legend that Mexicans
and other old settlers In the south
west knew of an "Ore" which was
packed around pieces of iron and steel
that they wished to harden. The
metal was heated in wood fire in
contact with the ''Ore" and then
Quenched In water. Axles of spring
less wagons so treated were said to
have been made glass hard and to
wear two or three times as long as
ordinary a%les. and tires so treated
were described as ringing like bell"
when suspended and struck with a
hammer. This action was said to be
due to white metal" that was ex-
tracted from the lore" and alleged
with the iron by the treatment.
The tests by the bureau and other
laboratories. following the claimants
procedures, usually have shown no
hardening effect, although in q few
tests some hardening Of iron or steel
was produced due either to case hard
ening from heating the metal in con-
tact with carbon, protected from Oxi-
dalton by coating Of flux, or In
some instances to the formation Of
crude silicon alloy. Many ordinary
fusible rocks. and even fluXes with
out rock, will give these same re-
suits.
The bureau of mines is forced to
conclude, therefore, that the various
unsubstantiated claims that have been
made were due to careless tests, to
erroneous conclusions from these
tests, or to an attempt to defraud.
