TRAFFIC TALKS
THE SCHOOL TEACHERS DUTY

With the coming of Spring and
the release to the road of fully
thirty percent of the cars owned,
the need for iastructing school child
ren in traffic regulations becomes
imperative.
The logical place for tiis instruc-
tion is the school. The teacher
should set aside a period each day
for teaching children just what is
expected of them on the streets and
roads. If possible, all instruction
should be positive, few "don'ts" and
many dos. A book of traffic
regulations may be obtained from
any police station. Not only should
these future citizens know the law
as pedestrians but they should know
also what consideration and cooper
alton they have the right to expect
from the motorist. They should
be taught from the standpoint that
they are the future motorists.
The first few warnings should be
general and in the form of rules,
instead of seedlings or preachings.
Children should never run sud-
denly into the street to chase a
ball or an animal or another COM
panion. Wherever there are traffic
signals they should be obeyed to
the letter, and even then the child

Special care should be suggested
for wet days when slippery pave
ments make even the best brakes
unreliable. If possible, children
going to school in congested dis
tricts should pass in groups and all
older children should convoy the

Even when a street is CLOSED"

alert because even where CONNER
cial vehicles are barred it is some
times necessary for other cars to

Children are apt to become so
accustomed to the blowing of horns
that they pay little or no attention
to them. No signal from motor
vehicle should pass unnoticed. Hang
ing on behind drays and trucks
should be discouraged. Hiding in
the spare tire, and hopping off in
the path of another oncoming car
should be forbidden. A combina-
tion English composition, spelling

STENCILLED WALL
DECORATIONS
By Marie Hulser.

In almost every home there are
probably plain, uninteresting wall
spaces that need enlivening with
decoration of some sort OF the
numerous attractive wall finishes
available for this purpose, one of
the most practical and inexpensive
is the stencilled ornament. Stem
Cling is becoming an established
mode of decorating walls, doors
and sometimes floors and ceilings,
since it is within the ability of
those who are ordinarily skillful
with brush and color, and since
there are stencils to suit individual
taste, and designs available appro-
pirate to any type of room from the

on these before any work is begun.
The purpose of the stencil is decor

THIS YEARS GRADUATES

A great army of young people
are now coming out into the world,
ready for the battle of life. An
equally great army have finished
some particular course in their
schooling, and will go on further in
their preparation.
This is a great turning point in
the life of boy or girl. The diplo-
ma handed to them stands for eff
forts and sacrificess. In many
hours when their friends and asso-
ciates have been idly playing, they
have kept on digging at their books
and papers. Now the reward comes
to them, in the form of the state
ment that they have performed
certain work in the acquisition of
knowledge, and hence are better
fitted to meet the problems of life.
Students grow mature under this
experience of graduation. A few
weeks before, they still had the stu
dent outlook, care free and boyish
and girlish, not quite realizing that
life brings responsibilities. At the
graduation time the vista of the
work of life ahead begins to loom
before them. Resolves of serious
ness and achievement enter into
their minds.
The students owe much to the
community that has given them this
chance. 1t has been accomplished
as the result of an incalculable
amount Of self denial People have
willingly gone without things they
wanted and needed, so they could
pay taxes for schools, give benefac-
tions to colleges, provide for the
expenses of their own students. A
student ought to be filled with zeal
to make a fitting return to the peo-
pie of Milford and his own state
and nation.
And we all owe something to
these students. They have made a
serious effort to conform to our re-
luirements. They take their part
in the great army of people who
Ire trying to make better COM
nunity and country, and we look

"POnr Finish0

HOur FINISH"
New styles in decoration may be
achieved through the pour" finish
developed recently in the treatment
OF inexpensive pieces of pottery,
glass vases, crockery and small
objects such as lamp bases. The
term pour" finish was coined as a
result of experiments made with
the new lacquer finishes. which
provide a wide latitude in their
application. Pour" finish is be-
ing now used by women in all parts
of the country. With it, striking
tints and an amazing richness of
effect can be obtained. We all know
the value of color properly placed
and how even a vase or a Iamp-
shade brilliantly hued can change
the entire atmosphere of a room
which previously was not distin-
guished by its attractiveness. In
using the pour" finish two or three
small cans of different colors and
larger empty receptacle are the
only equipment required. The ar
ticle to be finished is first thorough
ly cleaned and one color poured
over it and allowed to drip off into
the empty receptacle. While the
lacquer is still wet, another color
is poured directly over the first.
The excess material is allowed to
run off into the receptacle and the
article set aside to dry. The two
colors will blend, producing striped
and mottled finishes. The addition
OF more than two colors will, Of
course, produce more variegated
patterns. The results of this finish
are striking in the extreme. Inex-
pens1ve vases and small bits of pot
terry can be bought and transformed
into things of beauty.
The new finish is made possible
because of the beauty of color OBJ
tanned with lacquer and the very
short time required for drying. In
fact, for the ordinary finishing Jobs
the house, quite apart from
decorative effects which it
is desired to achieve, a new era
has been created due entirely to
the quick drying properties of the
new type of finishes and the pecul-
Iarly durable effects which thew
offer, in conjunction with the fact
that they are not susceptible to
grease, water, acids and absence of
The pour" finish like so many
1ew things made possible by the
acquers permits any woman to

wall, or in panels low down, the
height of the children. For the in
formal breakfast nook, or in the
kitchen, single spot designs OF
steaming teapots and cups and sau-
GERS, are quaint and pleasing.
The size of stencil ornament
must be carefully figured in proper
ton to the size of the room or the
panel to be decorated. For large
wall space large stencil is requir-
ed, and for the small or panels a
small stencil. But stencils can also
be used to increase or decrease the
apparent size of a room. By cor
rect placing of a narrow border a
ceiling can be made to appear high
er, and by deep border design
placed low on the wall the height
is usually decreased.
Ordinary stencils, which contain
a pattern or design cut through for
the purpose of transferring an i'm
preston to a surface, are applied
to the wall after the ground color
and glazing coat have dried. Begin
to transfer the stencil on the right
hand or center of the wall, holding
it with the left hand, or using thumb
tacks or a gelatin paste to keep it
in place. In applying the paint the
brush is held at right angles to the
wall and tapped rather than rubbed
over the stencil, as a brush is or
used. Swing the brush
back and forth so that the paint
will penetrate through the stencil
holes to the wall.
Successful stencil transferring re-
quires tidiness in keeping the back
Of the stencil pattern and the fing-
ers clean of paint, so that the wall |
will not become soiled. After each /
the pattern should be |
wiped clean, using benzine when |
aver necessary. Also, if the paint !
S too thin, or if the brush is too |
'ull of paint the design will not be
'lean cut, but the edge will blur.
Che best effects are secured by US
ng an almost dry brush.
For the small house it is suggest
ID that too elaborate treatment be
voided. Also brilliant colors in
uantity are out of place. The stem
il design will be more successful
kept from being obtrusive, sim
ly adding the necessary pattern
nd color that brings beauty to
lain walls.

THERE is NO WET-AND-DRY
ISSUE

Humorists use their splendid gift
to create understanding of import
ant truths. One of these men is
Strickland Gillian, of Washington,
who was the creator of one of the
most popular quips of American
humor, "Off Agin, On Agin, Gone
Agin." He recently made an ad-
dress before the Kiwanis Club at
Atlantic City, in which he stated
truth which underlies, and will
control the action of whoever may
succeed Calvin Coolidge as Presi-
dent of the United States, towards
Prohibition and it's enforcement
Read it carefully, and think over
the facts so forcefully put by Mr..
Gillian in his speech, for it is the
whole truth told plainly.
"It amuses to see that some peo-
pie seem to think there is a wet
and-dry issue before them in this
COLulIS CctllpctA5ns hCl = 10 nOuGy
brethren and sistern! The dry
plank is in the Constitution. And
no matter if the man elected next
fall believes he is a wet, the minute
his hand is laid on the Book, in
the presence of the oath-giving
Chief Justice, that old document
will rip the wet courage from the
heart of the president-elect, and he
will be loyal to the constitution!
No matter what anybody thinks, the
President will be dry as long as the
is. There is something
uncanny about the presidential job
. nobody ever got past that oath
with the slightest trace of disloy-
atty in him. The old boys who built |
that bunch of words known as the
of the United States
put something vital and compelling
and inescapable into it. So no
