Londoners were startled by the amaz-

deposit, the richest yet, had been dis
covered by four men in the bleak ra-
vines of the Transvaal.

be heard and before many months

Great Discovery Made.
And Honeyball was one of the he
roes of the rush, rich and famous.
And deservedly, for with his three
companions Honeyball prospected in
the wild ravines and baboon-infested
plains.
Then the great discovery in the Wit
waterstrand district was made. Cold,
conglomerate beds of it, were found.
And in spite of the amount of pre-
cious metal the Rand mines have given
up since they were discovered nearly
half century ago, the amount still
there, waiting to be dug out, is still
measured in billions by mining ex-
perts. But Honeyball is living in a

Seattle. - Two young honeymoon
couples who eloped from California
arrived in Seattle in time to be served
with summonses in a $4,000 damage
action-just IL days after their double
wedding at Reno, New.
All the way from Wheeling, W. Va,
Albert A. Heunisch motored to Oak
land to claim his seventeen-year-old
bride, Sylvia. With him he brought
his college chum, William B. Dawson
of Pittsburgh, Pa, who was to have
been "best man."
1t was "love at first sight" when
Dawson met Sylvia's girl chum and
the four decided to make it double
elopement and wedding.
Driving to Seattle on their double
honeymoon to visit Heunisch's uncle

Mrs. John B. Wright, the honeymoon

men at North Bend on request of au-

to be responsible"

Why Birds Do Not Get Lost

The migration Of birds, even
across seas, is often explained
, as instinct" but it is more than
that. Their uncanny ability to
find their way from their win
ter to summer home, and vice
versa, is said to be due to the
training of the young birds by
the older ones, and to the keen
sense of direction possessed by
birds.

prominent in the general decorative
scheme are repeated in the ceiling,
this will tie it up with the rest of
the room.
The beamed ceiling may be paint
ed or stained to match the wood
work. If establishment is desired,
an interesting pattern may be stem
cilled ON the beams in colors ap-
propriate to the motif of the design.
Directions for painting ceilings,
including surface preparation and
finishes, are the same as for walls.
Gloss paint, however, are not sat

have the property of giving reflec-
tions of the light sources and are
consequently hard on the eyes.
If you have felt at all dissatisfied
with any of the rooms in your house
and can find no outstanding reason
for the fault, look to the ceiling.
Consider it as one of the important
parts of the room and study it's
decoration very carefully. If it is
out of key with the decorative
scheme, it's in appropriateness will
be felt, although the trouble may
not at once be determined.

TO BONE A LEG OF LAMB

Many people always have leg of
lamb boned for roasting. They say
it is surprising how many attractive
servings can be made from either a
hot or cold boned leg that can be
sliced evenly from end to end. Any
butcher can bone a leg of lamb for
you, or you can do it yourself. The
United States Department of Agri-
culture tells how it is done.
'In boning, first take out the ir-
reguar itch to pelvic bone at the
large end. Cut into the meat on the
thinnest or 'stifle' side and lay back
a flap of meat deep enough to expose
the leg bone and permit its removal.
You will have pocket here for stuff
fling, or the leg may be sewed tOgeth-
or and roasted without stuffing. A
good sharp, thin knife is needed for
boning."
Anybody can carve a roast pre-
pared in this way, and serve it much
more quickly than the ordinary leg
roast. For sliced cold cuts the meat
is much more shapely than when the
leg is carved with the bones in.

Christmas takes rank above all
the sacred festivals. In England the
Christmas is ushered in with the
celebration of various old games.
The Yule log and the Christmas
candles are lighted. There are songs
and stories and all kinds of merri-
ment. The singing of carols is not
forgotten. All the churches, homes,
and sanctuaries robe themselves in
evergreen. holly, ivy and laurel. In
keeping with this Christmas spirit
the music classes have been singing
the lovely old carols and the Christ
mas atmosphere fills every nook
and corner.
All the rooms have beautifully
decorated Christmas trees. These
are indeed a Shrine of Beauty"
Grades and s have decided to
place their tree at the entrance so
that the community can share the
beauty of it's illumination.
There will also be Christmas par
ties at the school Tuesday after
noon. Gifts will also be exchanged.
We are sorry to report that Ruth
Morrison has the measles. Her class
mates will be glad to see her back
in school soon. Betty Donoho is al
so absent due to illness. We miss
Betty, too, and hope she will soon
recover.
A gloom of sadness was cast over
the school when we learned of Ma
jcr Princes death. Physical educa-
tion under his efficient leadership
has made rapid strides along the
path of advancement. His influence
will be carried over into the tomor-
row.
Our course in basketry closes
Thursday night. This has proven to
be one of the most successful adult
classes at Lincoln.
Prof. John A. Ruth will spend the
Christmas holidays at Allentown.
Our school will close Tuesday, De-
cember %, and reopen Monday,
January 5.
The P. T. A. notices made by the
3rd and 4th grades were very good
and we think the following verse
voices the wishes of both pupils
and teachers:
when Christmas candles shed
their glow
Upon the wintry scene;
When homes are decked with mis-
tletoe
POinsettia, evergreen;
When peace, good will, and hap
piness.
Der all the earth abound;
May all these gift sthat cheer and
bless
Your heart and home surround"

STYLISH SATIRE

The more some women attempt to
put on style the more it looks like
a takeoff. A modern definition of a
lady is woman who covers as much
as possible with as little as possible
and is as modest as possible with
the remaining exposed portion. Some
of the new tight-fitting dresses are
inclined to show the seat of wOm-
ans emotions and some women seem
to wear decollete to show their heart
is in the right place. But they
should worry; they're comfortable
and cool!
But the trouble with most girls
wearing long skirts is that when
you see them coming down the street
they look like somebody shaking a
rug. And most mothers would rath-
er see their daughters than their
daughters skirts sweeping the floor.
Still, as the sage of Atlanta says:
"Those lengthy skirts are
Not so bad,
They're only long in
Spots, m'lad!"

ulated by the quantity of light that
comes into the room, either artifici-
ally or through the suns rays. A
room that lacks the sun will need
the high reflective qualities of
cream, yellow, buff or a delicate
pink, but the room that is naturally
bright may be a pale green, light
blue, or even a delicate gray over
head.
Ordinarily the ceiling color should
blend in with the walls. One of the
best arrangements is to use a much
lighter shade of the wall color. For
example, if your walls are painted
green, light green is excellent for
the ceiling, or if the walls and
woodwork are of warm gray, pale
gray will blend in very nicely from
the ceiling. Sometimes it is possible
to use contrasting colors harmon
iOusly, such as pale maize ceiling
above sky blue walls.
There are exceptions, however, to
the rule that the ceiling should be
lighter in color than the walls. In
the case of an extremely high cell
ing, warm advancing" color, sew
eral tones darker than the wall, will
appear to reduce the height of the
room.
Where the ceiling is too low for
the spirit of the room, ivory is a
good color to use, but in modern
houses a feeling of warmth is de-
sirable. Therefore, the formal at
mosphere should be avoided. In
large room, a plain one-tone ceiling
is likely to suggest baroness and
frigidity, and it is better to break
up the space by Come such method
as paneling with a narrow and sim
pie stencil border, about a foot in
from the wall. Or if the ceiling area
is excessively large, it may be
broken up into stencilled panels.
