lief. Then the whole work is gilded
colored and lacquered. In fiat lacquer
work a design is simply painted on
the surface, and the whole is coated
with the lacquer. Another style is
called "incised."' In making incised
work a coating of lacquer is applied
to the wood. Portions of it are then
scraped away, and the main design is
blocked out. Finally various colors
are applied to the ridges thus formed.
The experts tell-Feal lacquer in two
ways. They touch it with their
tongues, or smell it. Few amateurs
know real lacquer when they see it,
or have penetrated the mystery of the
stun. If you are paying good money
for supposedly lacquered piece of
furniture be sure to buy it from
thoroughly reliable firm.
The modern housewife sees real
gum lacquer chiefly on furniture,
though in ancient times it was used
on armor. sword scabbards, horse
trappings. carriages, etc.
Many varieties of lacquer may be
genuine. Persian lacquer is very fine
and may be used with any color
Coral lacquer is a coral red. and ap-

carved vases. The colors you will find

red, black, gold and apple green.

Lacquered Furniture.

LACQUER is one of our heritages
from ancient China. Yet for 300 years
the material has been familiar in Eng
land.
Buying lacquered furniture requires
not only some experience in distin-
gushing the fine old work from its
modern limitations. but should be re-
inforced with knowledge of the
process of lacquering itself.
Lacquer is not just peculiar form
OF varnish or carriage paint. as some
have thought. 1t isn't really a paint
at all. but a sort of reSinouS gum, the
sap of a tree, which has the peculiar
property of being almost immune to
temperature. weather conditions and
hard usage. 1t is extremely durable
in texture and much stronger than
any known manufactured varnish.
Real lacquer is usually applied only to
wood which has been thoroughly
treated to prevent warping or shrink
ing underneath.
The color of lacquer is usually
either black or red. Good Oriental
lacquer has a brilliant ground. with 81
metallic luster that's as smooth as
glass. Imitation lacquers. however
good" they may be. are dull in com
harrison. Combination shades of the
Oriental lacquer are also apt to be
brilliant in tone.
The pieces of oriental lacquer work
which one most frequently sees are
decorated in various ways. Gold. sill
yer and mother of pearl are combined
an designs and inlays. Metallic pow
ders and dusts are also used in no end
of various ways. The secrets of this
sort of decoration are handed down
from generation to generation In The
East and are guarded closely.
In raised lacquer work the different
larts VI the design are built up IN ~

The flag whose SD birthday was

Hispaniola, or Little SPAIN, and
placed by the discoverer under the

On his second voyage Columbus

later a traveller, exploring the ruins
of the old town, wrote to Washington

A Scarf to Match the Coat Lining
BY MARY MARSHALL.

sketch shows a long plaid silk scarf
with fringed ends which was made
to go with one of the new navy blue
goats. The coat is lined with silk to
match the scarf. If you make your
own clothes, this is q trick worth re-
Numbering. Or if perchance you
have q. last years Spring coat or
jacket to be refined. get the tailor
to use some interesting plaid or strip
ed silk and get enough of it to make
a scarf.
Scarfs for Spring are of many
sizes and shapes. Some are quite
long. Some measure a. full yard in
width and are over a yard and a half
in length. There are some scarfs a
yard square edged with fringe. For
evening wear many women are
choosing the new scarfs of printed
net in tones to harmonic with the
frocks with which they are worn.
This is an excellent time for the
ingenious woman to make use of all
sorts of interesting bits of fabric she
has treasured away--pieces of batik,
lengths of printed silk or cotton
brought by friends returning from
Java, Ceylon, Sumatra and other in
teresting places that we never even
hope to visit. At present there are
scarfs of almost every size. and If
there are materials that have not
been used in the making of scarfs for
the Spring, it is because the scarf
makers have not thought of it.

Officiating Children.

This subject was discussed only re-
Gently in, this column but the letters
on this lamentable habit continue to
pour In. Many mothers have written
of their personal experience and these
are always helpful if only to show
that what helps one child in con-
quering the habit is of no avail
with another; in fact, dirt eating is
evidence Of some abnormality, but the
cause of the abnormality differs in
different children.
Here are some interesting ideas
which by their very variety may clear
up the situation for other mothers,
Dirt eating may be evidence of
hook worm" Naturally, If one
even suspected that the child might
be infected with hook worm, it would
be wasted energy to do anything until
this condition had been treated medi-
cally and through an improvement in
the child's diet. Then one could cope
with the dirt eating habit, providing il
arose from this cause.
Another interesting theory is that
it is caused by a lack of common salt
One mother says that after sailing
her boys food much more literally
he entirely lost any craving for dirt.
She cites the case of animals which
will go many miles to get salt bearing
foods; seemingly caused by the same
craving that perhaps drove this child
to eat dirt.
Another mother says her boy was
cured when the doctor gave him
medicine which contained an abun.

erals could best be administered in
the form of whole grain cereals. vege-
tables and fruit, plus plenty of fresh
! milk and eggs.
| Most of these theories turn in a
circle and come back to the prime
cause, which in most cases is diet
lacking something. When a child
develops any abnormal desire for food
other than the wholesome ones serv,

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
adverse, and will continue so until
sunset. when they change slightly for
the better. During the day there will
be sensed feeling of pessimism, NOR
bidneSs and general dissatisfaction. 1t
would be we'll to restrain this line Of
thought as much as possible and to
take careful stock not of what you do
not possess but of that which you do
possess. So much unhappiness is
caused in this world by dwelling on
things which we ought to have and
by thinking too little of belongings
and friends which we actually do en-
joy. No speculation or risk should be
INDUCED in. as the signs denote disas-
trous results. 1t is also a bad day for
travelling. In the evening there will
be measure Of success attending any
social or family reunions, as the signs
although not actually favorable, are

which sometimes make children so

virtues will more than compensate

and contact. A girl, on the other
hand, will be rather retiring, but

will prove to be charming and intel
ligent. She will very often give her

which you may mingle. You are

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. ID.

A front page item tells how a num-
Der of persons were restored from
carbon monoxid poisoning-the gas
escaped from a coke fire in the build
ing where they were sleeping-by Il
new kind of pulmotor through the
use of which the victims are made to
inhale a mixture of about "95 per
cent of oxygen and other chemicals
to combat the poisonous gas The
item mentions that it was almost an

restored.
So much for publicity for the i'm

Now. let us see what the facts are.
the "other chemicals" in fact is

Carbon monoXid is colorless and

CINE which produces too frequent
fatalities when uniformed persons

bile or other gasoline engine in a
closed room. 1t is carbon monoXid
which makes coal or coke gas so
deadly. And carbon monoxid is the
letnal lngredlent or Illuminating gas.
This carbon monoXid may be pro-
duced wherever any kind of fuel
burns with a restricted supply of air.
In ordinary air there is no trace of
carbon monoXid.
Carbon dioxid is produced when
any fuel burns with a free supply of
air. Carbon dioXid is produced by
oxidation or combustion of food and
tissue fuel in the body, and it is given
off largely in the exhaled air. Carbon
dioxid is commonly called carbonic
acid gas it is the gas which gives
