A modern cottage for use of the
janitor of Selah (Wash.) School was
built recently by the manual train
ing class under the direction of a
carpenter employed for the purpose.
In addition to the experience in
practical instruction gained by the
pupils, the project resulted in a
saving of 5000 in the cost of the
building.
A commission has been appointed
by the department of public in
struction of Cuba to organize a plan
of instruction for backward child

be taken at the same time for the
provision of special training for
teachers of such children.

Virginia'S Cedars
5000 OOOOO 900 o

Virginia cedar trees are bidding
for public favor in cedar chests that
are being shipped by train loads
from the Lane national industry at
Altavista, Virginia, to merchants
and dealers in all parts of the Uni
ted States. Already more people
know about cedar by reason of these
chests than through knowledge of
the Temple of Solomon, the Wise
King, who logged in the forests of
Lebanon, and took cedars to Jeru-
salem to use in building his house.
Cedar heart-woOd chests are rec
commended by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture on account
of the protection they furnish for
clothes that are stored during differ
ent periods of the year. The Depart
ment is carrying on a campaign this
spring in combating the moth worm.
1t is said this pestilential beast"
destroys S200,000,000 worth of mems
-wOmen's and children's clothing
and other garments and furs in a
year.
King SOlomon's temple was a nice
rOOst for his lady friends and it was
all fixed up with inlays of ivory and
gold-the most interesting place in
its day-but not as large as the Lane
factory, down in Virginia, and
mere trif1e as contrasted to a mod
ern skyscraper, or a beach hotel.
Solomon, and his two King Hir-
ans helped to put cedar on the map,
with the result that the wood was
well known in early times when the
Cavaliers were making merry in our
own "Ole Virginny."

the guest of honor testing all and

In the syndicates and association
displays there were everything from
enlarged cut-Outs of comic strip
characters to photographs of lovely
ladies in fashions of silk, rayOn,
wool, cotton and linen. No phase of
