The annual campaign is conducted
by approximately 1890 workers. These
are organized in five main divisions.
First comes the special gifts division,
with two subdivisions. One works with
the big givers. The other works with
wealthy individuals who can reasonably
be cxpected-because of their promi-
nence in the community and their civic
esponsibility-to give more than they
have in the past. Then there is the
employees division, with six subdivi-
sions. There is one group each to can
vaSs the factories, stores, railroads
State, Federal and city employees, banks
and brokerage houses, and public utili-
ties. Next is the branch house division
which. works through the local Offices
of foreign corporations. This group OBJ
tanned nearly $4,000 this year. Next is
the downtown division with Is sub
divisions or teams. These make can
vases of the Offices. Last Is the resi-
Dental division with 38 teams. These
make a door-to-door solicitation.
Money is also raised in the churches
and schools, but in the latter largely as
a missionary endeavor rather than for
the actual amount realized, The pur-
pose is to train the pupils in the object
/ of social work and to get them into the
habit of making slight self-sacrifices
for the benefit of the unfortunate. The
Council of Social Agencies and the
Community Fund directors present facts
as they are. There are none of the
morbid, grossly exaggerated accounts OF
social conditions which sometimes ac-
companied the old individual appeals

as going to the dogs, but only stress

on with full brush, and not brush
ed on to the surface. In fact, the
less brushing the better the re-
suits. Where runs or says occur
such places may be gone over with
a little lacquer thinner, which will
level out the imperfections.
Over previously well coated sur
face of like color one coat of lac
quer will be sufficient. New York
will require two or three coats, de-
pending upon the type of wood be-
ing finished. Badly marred and
worn surfaces will need two coats.
Applying Paint and Enamel
The surface preparation for
painting and enameling has already
been described. 1t is possible now
TO obtain enamels which dry in four
hours, giving an exceptionally hard.
durable and most desirable coating
in a gloss or semi-fiat finish. En-
amel, like lacquer, must be flowed
on, whereas paint requires careful
brushing out to a uniform, smooth
coat Usually fiat paint or enamel
Undercoating is used for the first
AWO N0etNo OAl lACM GucAlAGlllAlE WOl Is
finishing up with the enamel coat.
Two coats of enamel-or one of fiat
paint and one of enamel-will be
satisfactory on old furniture.
New wood that is being painted
will require a primer This con-
sists of thin coat OF paint which
soaks into the wood, making d
ground for the actual finish. In
painting, thin coats are preferable
to heavy ones, using an additional
coat if necessary for a completely
satisfactory finish. Ample time must
be allowed, between coats, for dry
ing.
After the selected finish is dry, if
further decoration is desired, there
are any number of methods to
choose from. DecalcOmania trans
fers of subjects suggesting repro
ductions of water color handpaint-
ings may be applied, even by the
most unskilled, to pieces of furnt-
ture, lampshades, bottle vases, &c.
II more appropriate patterns can be
found among stencils this medium
of decoration, too, is quite easily
managed.
Antinuing furniture after it has
been painted is another effective
method of establishment This is
done with raw or burnt sienna,
burnt umber or paint in a darker
shade than the body color. The
chosen antiquing material is added
to a glazing liquid and then applied
on the surface, in small sections
with a brush. 1t is Immediately
wiped off lightly with cheesecIoth,
allowing enough of the glaze coat
to remain in such places as the
corners of fiat surfaces, around
grooves of chairs and table legs,
knobs on drawers, etc, to supply
effective contrast. When the an
tique coating is properly applied a
most desirable weathered effect
will result.

seen in many a moon, worn the other
evening by a stunning brunette who
was dining at the Pickwick Arms in
Greenwich. Thoroughly feminine. it
reflected all of the most interesting

chiffon of an exquisite shade of char
treuse green fashioned it and the sheer
supple material lent itself beautifully
to the flowing dOwn-in-back move
ment of the tiers. They flared smart
ly and gave the frOck its decided chic.
The lower tier with its backward dip
effected the longer-in-back hemline,
while the upper tier above the mar

waistline. Other interesting features
we're the becoming Vionnet neck, the

devotion to the great reform to blind him to the fact That
other questions calling imperatively for solution
True there are other questions of vast Importance be-
fore the people, but Governor Smith has made the CUES
ton of modification with the idea to ultimate repeal OF
the prohibition policy the paramount issue
He recognizes it as such, and his campaign manager
former Republican and president of the Associa-

Raskob recognizes SUCH In fact this former Re-
publican campaign manager for Governor Smith,
declared that he welcomed the opportunity of aiding
Smith because it afforded chance to help in Kidding the
country of the "damnable prohibition law"
No doubt Senator Sheppard is actuated by party
loyalty Surely he must know that those who boost

Where Labor Prospers

The increased productivity of American workers under
prohibition is according to greatest economists the
most significant factor in production upon which
our current prosperity rests and which makes possible
the payment of high salaries to workers Not only
have salaries increased since prohibition
adopted standards of living have also risen through
out the country
In spite of increased cost of living the latest figures
of the Labor Department show that the worker could
buy 3O7 per with each hour at work than he
could in the prewar license 1913 usually taken
standard wet year.

Empringham Again!

The annual TRADE against prohibition by the so-called

appearance in the public press last week The public

serve that it attracts less attention with each succeeding

public that the Episcopal Church had declared against
the prohibition policy and favored the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment and modification of the Volstead
law Empngham made the first pages under head
lines. But when his little organization promptly
repudated by the leading Episcopal clrgymen of the
