ICE CUBE SUGGESTIONS

Nothing is so refreshing these hot
summer days as cool drink and the
discriminating hostess will use tall
glasses, maybe the colored ones so
much in vogue now, maybe a glass
slipper gayly colored. For those of
us who are fortunate enough to have
a mechanical refrigerator and can
! make ice cubes, there are any num-
Der of novel ways of using the ice.
Why not color the water in the cube
pan with some vegetable coloring or
place a cherry in when the cubes are
halfway frozen, or a sprig of mint?
One hostess who is always trying
new things told me she froze ginger
ale into ice cubes and in any drink
as fruit punch, lemonade and such
il added a piquant and delightful
favor. Grape juice frozen into
cubes makes a delightful addition to
any beverage.-The Pathfinder.

in a fat condition when they start
to lay and keeping them in this
condition. Thin birds usually molt.
The pullets should be housed when
the first one starts to lay. The hOus-
es should be cool in summer and
moderately warm in winter.
A feeding program to maintain
egg production and at the same
time keep up body weight is neces-
sary. Anything that will keep the
birds well and hearty will help to
prevent the winter molt. The fall or
winter mott is often a blessing in
disguise. The flock that goes into a
neck mott will, of course, drop off
in production. While in the mOlt
they gain in weight and are in much
better condition to produce strong,
healthy chicks. The flock that mOlts
during the winter will lay eggs lat
er the following fall when eggs are
high in price. So, do all you can to
prevent the molt but don't get dis
couraged if one occurs in the early
hatched pullet flock.

FRENCH ISLANDS WATCHED

In 1853, when MOntcalm fell on the
Plains of Abraham and the army of
Wolfe captured the Gibraltar Of
America, France lost her colonial
possessions in North America-all
but two tiny islands, st. Pierre and
Miquelon, off the coast of Newfound-
land. Not long ago Walter e. Edge,
American ambassador to Paris, in
formally requested the French gov
ernment to give him statistics as to
the liquor trade of these islands. The
foreign minister. replied that no such
figures yere available, but it is un-
derstood that the ambassador was
assured that the French government
would in the future keep an eye upon
the shipments of liquor to and from
st. Pierre and Miquelon.-The Path

HOME EDUCATION
'THE FLOWER OF THE FLOCK"
Janette Stevenson Murray

DHhNNAO wv NAA2OAA A4 III Aelg
"My sister, Clara, two years
younger than l, was a beautiful
child" said a woman well known for
her wide experience and broad SYM
pathy. CLARA was round and rosy,
/ with brown curls, lovely blue eyes
and a pink and white complexion. /
was exactly the opposite, thin, tall,
dark and sallow, with stringy hair.
"If went out without my sister, I
was happy, but there was never any
chance for me when with Clara.
People always looked at her and
exclaimed, oh, what a lovely child! =
and never seemed to know that l
was present. l would so home just
heartbroken, feeling that l never
wanted to go anywhere again. This
made my childhood most unhappy
for l couldn't help resenting the fact
that Clara received all the attention.
Mother was very wise. She never
made any comparisons, and if refer
ence was made to my plainness, she
always said that actions went far
ther than looks. AS we grew older,
l surpassed Clara in school and so
drew a small. share of attention
which helped to bring me to more
peaceful state of mind"
This wOman's most vivid recollec-
tions of her childhood seemed to be
of the unhappiness that she had'eX-
perienced through jealousy. Another
friend of mine who had suffered sim
ilarly because of a beautiful sister
said her family didn't seem to un-
derstand how deeply the contrasts
and comparisons made hurt her, and
the feeling she had towards her sis
ter-was really deplOrable; She grew
almost to hate her.
1t is the parents who are usually
responsible when there is a family
jealousy, when a child, because of
the beauty or accomplishments of
another, becomes difficult, suspici
Gus, inclined to "carry a chip on his
shoulder" or to have an inferiOrity
complex. 1t is very easy to arouse
this jealousy by giving undue atten-
tion to one member of a family who
happens to be more gifted or finer
looking than the others.
The following story by pre-schoOl
study group leader suggests a wiser
way of treating "the flower of the
flock"
I'VE had guests from Chicago the
other night A young niece with her
husband and three little girls-Peg-
gy, five; Joan, three and a half; a
baby, seven months.
Having heard a great deal from
the relatives of the smart and lively |
Joan, we had eyes only for her when .
they arrived. She lived up to her
reputation, and we thought her a
wonderful child. But we soon began
to be interested in what the father
and mother were saying about Peg
gy- how when only two years old,
she had remembered putting her
mothers diamond ring under table
cover several weeks before, how she
often brought back unusual stories
from the Sunday school.
After the departure of our guests,
found myself thinking of the retir-
ing Peggy really more than of the
VlVdclOuS JOauS IN IdcC recalled
that very little had been said of
Joan. Could it be that these parents
had learned to apportion the atten-
ton given to the two children? Ger
tain it was that much of our atten-
lion had been wisely redirected by
hem thus preventing the younger
child from becoming too forward or
vain and the older one from feeling
neglected and jealous"

CAMOUFLAGING THE RADIATOR
HELEN B. AMES


The radiator is a feature that is
often overlooked in the decorative
scheme of "a room. Sometimes il
stands out so prominently that it
completely spoils the symetry OF
the room and the harmony of the
furnishings. If, however, it is paint
ed to match the walls or the wood
work, or hidden beneath an attrac-
tive cover, it will blend into the
background and seem a part of the
wall instead of a separate and con-
spicuOus. unit.
Bronzed and -silvered radiators
can easily be repainted with fiat
paint or enamel. They should first
8 be wiped with gasoline to remove
& dust and dirt, as the paint will last
longer and look better if the surface
is clean. Refinishing with fiat paint
will require two coats. For an
enamel finish you will need two
coats of fiat paint or enamel under
coating, and a third coat of enamel
If your walls are sponge-stippled
or glazed in two colOTs, matching
pattern will be the best possible
! eamouflage for the radiators. Both
of these finishes are very simple to
apply. Sponge stippling is done with
a deep sea wool sponge, cut fiat on
one side The radiator is first paint
ed with two coats of fiat paint of
the same color as the wall back
ground, using an ordinary paint
brush. Then the second color is
tamped on with the fiat side of the
sponge These stipples or blOtches
should have no definite outline, as
the charm of the finish lies in the
irregularity of the pattern.
For a glazed or blended finish, the
second coat of background color
should be thicker than the first, and
stippled with a stubby brush while
still wet. When dry, the radiator is
ready for the glaze coat. This con-
sists of a clear glazing liquid which
has been colored with paint to
match the wall. 1t is wiped off with
IA piece of soft cheesecloth immedi-
ately after application, enough of
the paint being left in the curves of
the radiator, and to a lesser degree,
on the surface, to give an "antiqued'
appearance. Gray green or ivory
blended with raw sienna, van dyke
brown, or burnt umber are effective :
combinations.
If you want something more elab- !
crate, you can have a polychrome
finish in three or more colors, such ,
as blue and shell pink or brown and |
1.-TWO shades of green, blended over !
a cream background. The first COM
bination is suitable for a dainty !
bedroom while the second will lend
itself more appropriately to the liv-
ing room or dining room. In apply
ing this Vari-colored finish, a sepa-
rate container and a separate brush
should be used for each color.
In wood-paneled room, the rad
GATOR may be brought into perfect
harmony with the walls by applying
a stain-in-varnish finish. If this fin
ish is to cover bronze or aluminium
paint, it will require an undercoat
of fiat paint.
All of these treatments are as
gractical and decorative for metal
radiator covers as they are for the
radiator itself.

Gas Mystery Is S0lUed.

sick and many collapsed for no apparent rea-

mystery became deeper and a source of real
worry as time went on and more than so
men were overcome and collapsed
After all other theories had failed. it was
decided that the trouble must be from gas.
and the aid of the Pittsburgh Experimental
Station of the United States Bureau of Mines
was sought.
Experts in gas from the laboratories visited
the construction work and found that the air
in the change house tested almost per cent
carbon monoxide, a percentage sufficient to
cause collapse in a few minutes of a man at
all physically exhausted from his work.
Having found the trouble, the source of the
gas was the next step. The power plant is
being constructed on Brunot Island which Is
at the confluence of the Monongahela and the
Allegheny Rivers
This island or rather the end of the island
on which the power plant is being erected, has
been made from cinder dumping In some
cases the cinders are 40 feet thick.
Through improper and incomplete combus-
ton much unburned carbon still remained in
the cinders, and this has been smouldering for
some time, being in active combustion up to
a few months ago.
One part of the construction work entailed
the building of tunnel under this mass of
cinders and under the river over to the city
proper. In order to carry on the work ii was
necessary to employ fairly heavy air pressures,
and this air escaped to some extent up through
the interstices and cracks in the cinder bed,
much as air is forced through blacksmiths
fire. The pressure of the air brought the
monoxide lying in the air pockets up to the
surface and into the closed building, where the
air soon became dangerously poisoned
Once the trouble was found it a short
matter to remedy the defect in the construc-
ton of the change house which permitted the
collection of the gas and to take preventive
measures to assure that no more workmen
become i'll. SD .u vqs .,nr a. ..,.asn,
