than two years ago 1t complained of
undue interference from WFLA-WSUN
and won an order from the courts re-
quiring that its previous service area
be "measurably re-established. BY
using the new system, WFLA-WSUN
hopes to accomplish this, without SUI
fering serious reduction In its oper-
ating power
The Florida station Is located at the
foot of the peninsula and most OF lts
signal strength in the past has oeen
dissipated over the water. VILLA
WSUN's power was reduced by the
commission from 1000 watts night ana
$500 watts day service to ESQ watts
night and 500 watts day. pending IN
stallation of the new aerial. II the
tests, to be conducted late this month
under the personal direction OF Mr.
Wilmotte, prove successful the station
will be permitted to return to the high
er power.
Tends to Increase Strength.
Experiments conducted abroad, 1t Is
said, have shown that the new antenna
tends to increase the strength of sta
ton in a given direction without actual
increase in wattage. The aerials OF the
new system consist of two vertical radi-
ators of fabricated steel towers 200 feet
high and set in place on a special
swivel insulator. Three guy wires with
tnterlocking insulators hold the verti-
Gals in place. The radiators are set
exactly quarter wave apart, with the
transmitting station about midway and
slightly back of the direct line between
the towers. A transmission line, COM
prising three wires properly spaced in
accordance with the transmitting wave
length, feeds the respective towers.
The field pattern of the station, by
this method can be diverted to any
desired direction.
Station WHIT at Waterloo, Iowa, also
has applied to the commission for au-
thor1ty to install such an antenna,
conditioned upon its removal to Des
Moines. The station is charged with
interfering with a station in Memphis.

used as tables or trunks, as seats or
safes, or even as hunks. These first
chests were massive containers, often
lavishly carved. 1t is this type OF
chest which fits into dining rooms. not
the simpler kind, such as cedar chests.
Fashions fluctuate concerning what
shall be featured at any one time in
such accessories as china and other
ceramics, silver or glass, etc. Just
now glass is at high mark of favor.
Beautiful silver is slowed out OF sight,
except when in use, while glass, often
Of unequal beauty or value, is in evi-
dence. 1t is true that some Of the
glassware now glistening in dining
room decoration is rare and costly, but
many ornamental pieces have the sole
charm of color or clearnesS, and for
the vogue this is sufficient-that is,
provided the shape is graceful and the
pieces belong to the group known as
tableware, or dining room pieces.
China, like silver, is little used for
decorative purposes 1t will come into
its own again and plate rails will
f1aunt all sorts of quaint and queer
pieces. Even in china and ceramics
the dining room types alone should
be featured.
Pewter is distinctly dining room
ware. 1t was seldom out of style, as
antiques were in demand and little
else was available. Today, however,
exquisite pieces are being manufac-
tured and this metal is in a heyday OF
popularity.

~ INING ROOM decoration is in
teresting in its union of glass,
silver, porcelain, pewter, pic
~ lures and textiles with furni-
ture, in all of which things
there are certain restrictions. Every
thing, in one way or another, should
be associated with this particular room
and its definite use. The dining room
which is a separate room by courtesy
of thought alone, and which must be
equally sitting room. or living room, or
even chamber, loses its individuality.
1t is unlike the room which is kept
for its prescribed object. 1t is this
latter dining room only which can be
own by rights. All the others cannot
fail to be tinged in treatment with
the secondary type of decoration.
In the true dining room the furni-
ture should all be elements of utility
The dining table and various types of
serving tables, sideboardS and buffets,
lowboys and highboys, provided they
are used as buffets or linen chests,
tea wagons, curate5' assistants china
closets and chairs so purpoSely suited
to their especial use that they go by
the name of dining room chairs-all
these are some Of the furniture pc
culiar to the furnishings Of this espe-
cial place.
EXtraneous pieces of furniture should
be eliminated. but before doing this
they should be carefully considered in
their relation to the uses of the room.
1t may be said that chests belong to
a peculiar classification. since they can
be used in practically any and all
rooms of a house. They were the
original containers which might be

why not stay and make your home

Mrs. Jerry isn't here" replied Jerry,

ed to come way up here. 1t Is very nice
here and should love to have you and
Mrs. Paddy for neighbors, but it isn't
SO well suited to me as it is to you.

certain roots and grasses that do not
grow here, and / know that I should
feel dreadfully shut in with all these
trees around. What suits one doesn't
suit another and 1 guess that is just
as well or we all would want the same
things"
True, Jerry, true" replied Paddy
This is home to Mrs. Paddy and my
self. 1t suits us perfectly. But 1t didn't
suit Honker or he would have remained
1t wasn't home to him. and if I could
go UP where his home is I probably
wouldn't be any better suited than he
was here. So I understand how you
feel. Take my advice and don't start
too soon. Give those hungry neighborS
Of ours who have been hanging around
here hoping to get Goose time to
scatter"
This was good sense. SO Jerry waited
until the next day. Then he said good
by to Paddy and Mrs. Paddy, swan to
the dam, made his way around the end
of it and started down the Laughing
Brook. The water was not quite SO
swift as when he had come up. Some
times he could swim a little way. Some
times he had to climb to the top of
steep bank and make his way along
that. Sometimes there were long
stretches with no places in which to
find safety should an enemy appear.
How he would hurry then! All the time
he felt the urge to get home to the
Smiling Pool The call of home was in
his heart and was not to be resisted. 1t
seemed to him that he couldn't get
home quickly enough He was in such
a hurry that he forgot to. be as watch
full as he should have been and the re-
suit was he almost ran right smack

One. way to get rid Of your troubles
temporarily is forcibly to put them out
of your mind 1t seems that we all have
certain ability to do this. Some per-

others in the exercise of this psyche

I have said gesture for a reason.
Dissertation would be good device If
it rendered a wholesome lasting service.
Unfortunately, 1t is a rather tentalt8-

When you force yourself no longer
to take cognizance of your conflicts
(troubles) you may be sure that these
same troubles will come back at you
with a force equal to that which you
used in getting them temporarily out
Of mind.
You may gain glimpse Of the un-
conscious strivings of your repressionS
by studying your unusual dreams. Or
you may try to explain what, besides
overeating. causes sleepless nights.
Still better, try to figure out what
causes the ''blues" from time to time.
Dissociated conflicts or memories
may take hundreds of forms. That's
why psychology as a science of the
mind is SO hard to explain. We forget
that there are many rooms in the
house of the mind And we also forget

~ ENG as slippery as an eel" is
- certainly not a compliment to
a human being, but 1t IS quite
- another story for the eel. This
family is an extremely old one
and members of it may be found in
fresh and brackish waters in all parts
of the world except the Pacific Coast
of North America and the islands OF
the Pacific They have been introduced
into the upper Great Lakes as well as the
upper Mississippi, where they have
flourished.
There are three abundant Species
those found in America, those in Eu-
rope and the other one in Japan. They
look alike, in size color, form, and have
the same food value.
While they live in fresh water and
reach their full size there, they must
seek the salt water in which to spawn.
About September great numbers Of
them will be seen headed for the sea.
The females are larger than the males.
In the deep water the females will de-
posit thousands Of minute eggs each.
For one year the eggs will float at the
surface, then they will hatch into
transparent, band-shaped young, called
elvers They are SO clear that they
have been spoken of as ghost fishes"
They gradually become firm and take
on the true form and color Of the eel
Two years after the mother placed
her eggs in the sea her children will be
making a mad dash for fresh waters.
AS they seek the fresh waters they
have been known to surmount almost
unbelievable barriers. They crawl over
slippery rocks, creep through wet grass
and even leap locks in canals in order
to reach their goal. When great schools
of them are seen they have been spoken
of as "eel fairs"
During the day they lie buried deep in
the mud. At night they come out of
hiding to hunt. They are among the
swiftest of swimmers, and not only are
greedy, but pugnacious. Numbers of
them band themselves together and lift
great stones by getting under them and
giving them a push. They are seeking
the scrimp and crayfish, which they
dearly love. Fish, dead or alive, and

Flowerlike Appliques for Dress
BY MARY MARSHALL.
.LowERLIKE appliques that are

-LOWERLIKE appliques that are
- very easy to make, cut from a
remnant of silk or satin and ap-
piled one on each side of the
bodice, two or three on the
sleeves and 10 or a dozen on the skirt.
We saw the very new and intriguing
dress that gave the suggestion, but It
took a clever little French dressmaker to
point out the fact that the idea was
one that could be copied by any in
genious amateur dressmaker.
The sketch shows the original and
the small design shows how the ap-
pliqueS are cut. They may be made of
taffeta or satin or silk crepe and ap-
piled on almost any sort of sheer ma
terial. They are very effective when
made of taffeta and applied to silk or
cotton net or other very sheer material
They can be used effectively, too,
on organdie, which is to be most i'm
portant evening dress material this
coming Summer. II you are wearing a
sheer dress over q colored taffeta or
silk crepe slip it's clever idea to have
the applques made of the same ma
terial as the slip foundation.
If the applques are made of taffets
or other firm silk they need not be
turned in at the edges. Simply cut out
pieces of the silk little larger than the
appHques and baste into position where
you want the apphques to appear. Cut
a paper or paSteboard pattern precisely
the size and shape of the design and
laying this over the applique pieces,
lightly trace the outline. Then stitch
along this traced line with matching
silk and trim evenly a fraction of an
inch from the stitching. If you prefer
to turn the edges under, cut the pieces
about Il inch larger than the designs,
turn under Is inch, baSte and press and
then sew down with very fine blind
stitches.
