HOW WALLPAPER IS PRINTED

The continent began to decorate its domestic walls with papers of colored designs in 1909, and Eng land in the seventeenth century, writes J. J. Almond in The Austra- lian Home Beautiful. But centuries earlier than this-before the birth of Christ, indeed-China was using wall paper It was from China that merchants and missionaries brought the gaily decorated sheets of wall paper that were first used in Eu- rope Up to less than one hundred years ago. machine printing, as we understand it today, was unknown. Among the earlier processes was block (handl printing, and this method is still used for some high grade borders and wallpapers.
 In hand printing, colors are ap- piled from wood blocks-pear wood being used as the least likly to warp. \ design having been drawn in colors, a separate block is cut for each color, and small pieces of brass are cut to the required shape and hammered into wood for small lines, etc. Sometimes part of the pattern is printed by machine and shading is done by use of .aerograph.
 In 1887 the first rotary machine was used and It's development has produced the modern machinery which prints literally by the mile.
 It is in watching the great mod ern machines turning out their miles of printed papers that the fascination lies. These machines, so complicated in their construction but so simple in their operation, are the outcome of years of experiment and inYen- tion and the expenditure of great sums of money. for wallpaper print ing like other branches has advanc- ed with the ages.
 There are three types of machine printed wallpapers: fn Pubs, where the pattern is printed in water-coior direct on to the pulp; (2) grounds, where a coating Of color is applied before the pattern Is printed thereon in water-color; and (3) sanitary papers, which are printed in oil color.
 In the coating of grounds the sur face is roughly covered with color by felt roller. This is evenly dis tributed by brushes, and an auto matic carrier takes it to the drying room where it is rolled into reels ready for the printing machine.
 It Is worth noting here that no arsenics or other poisons are used in the manufacture of wallpapers.
 The designer of wallpaper has problems peculiar to his own craft and, as in every branch of art, there are always opportunities for 3 frs class artist to achieve distinction. The pattern must be pleasing in it. self, fashionable, and capable of be-
 
 is, producing the effect of horizon tai, vertical, or diagonal lines when hung. A complicated design may cost anything from five hundred to one thousand dollars to produce.
 The printing is done from rollers of seasoned wood for pubs and grounds and copper for the sanitary type. Naturally great exactitude must be observed, as some of the water-color machines take up to twenty rollers in the printing of a design,
 The rollers having been prepared, the artist must decide on the color fngs. Assuming it is a six-color pat

NEWTON'S HUMILITY

Celebration of the 2OOth anni- yersary of the death of Sir Isaac Newton recalled many personal anec- dotes of the great natural philoso- pher. In spite of his towering genius and scientific attachments, Newton was one of the most humble of men.
 As a boy he confessed he was liar from industrious and stood very low in his class" In fact it appears that in his earlier years he had what would be called today al, ''inferiority complex" he lacked confidence in himself. The turning point of his career is said to have been when he mustered courage to whip a larger boy who had attacked him without proyocation. This suc- exertions and he became head hoy of the school.
 Late in life, after he had given to the world the results of his mon umental labors, Newton said: 'I do not know how I appear to the world. but to myself I seem to have been only like a little boy play ing on the seashore, now and then finding a smoother pebble or a pret- tier shell than before, while the great ocean of truth lay all undis- covered before me-

Mr.. Ufford declared, the whole struc-
ture of the Community Chest will be
threatened because OF the inability
properly to finance its member agencies.
Because the Community Chest failed
to reach its goal by approximately
$l85 900, including deficit Of $137,0
carried forward from 1881, Mr.. Ufford
explained, the member agencies we're
forced to reduce their respective budg-
cts by per cent. Under this reduc-
ton, he said, the Associated Charities,
which also disburses the funds of the
Citizens Relief Association, will have
available from the Chest 1928, ,846. The
expenditures for the first quarter, ac-
cording to Mr.. Ufford amounted to
Sl28 ,366.75 and the estimates of SOL 400
for April will bring the total to $780,
1868, leaving a balance, which, at the
present rate of expenditure will be ex-
hausted by July Is, or at the lates.,
August /.
Washington is one of the few cite,
Mr.. Ufford said, that has no munici al
appropriation for general relief OF tne
poor IN their own homes. Ci..es H.
New York, Philadelphia and Baloi.--o c,
which before the depression relied on
private benevolence, he de larea, crG
hnding it necessary to draw urcn ,hc
public purse to meet critical SltuaG.on.
Public Funds Lacking.
Unlike many other muntc Lies"
he said, Washington gives no relief W
the poor in their own nc les tnrodan
public funds, except in the form o. a.
IoWanceS under the act for the I.o-.-e
care OF dependent children adopted III
1925. In other words, emergency relief
for men out of employment or destitu-
ton due to illness or other cause mist
be met from private funds.
With the growth of Washington, and
because of large colored population,
many of whom are unskilled and of
low wage earning capacity, the burden
upon the private family agency, such
as the Associated Charities, in times
like the present is extremely heavy.
There is limit even to community
fund raising. and the fact that the
Community Chest failed this year to
reach its goal is an indication that its
budget cannot be indefinitely expanded"
In view of this situation, Mr.. Ufford
said the board of managers Of the As
sociated Charities in May, 1880, recon-
mended to the Commissioners that the
act which now empowers the Board of
Public Welfare to board children COM
mitted to its care in foster homes would
also empower the board to provide sup
port for children in their own homes.
Such an amendment, he pointed out,
would enable the board to care for
children during a probationary period
or until such time as the board could
determine whether the family should be
held together under the home care act
or broken up because Of the unsuitable
ity of the home as a place Of training
for the children.
