/ OF golden oak, all considerably bat
tered-and a plain iron bed.
The legs of the table had to be
sawed of a little to modernize the
piece. Old fashioned curved arms
supporting the dresser mirror were
removed. and the mirror was hung
separately. Brass handles on the
drawers were replaced by modern
knobs, and the holes that remained
were filled with putty.
Bed, dresser and chair were
enameled a mellow ivory and
trimmed with a narrow stripe Of jade
green. The table was coated with
jade green enamel to give the room
accent. and to break up the con-
ventional furniture "set" which
sometimes proves monotonous. Any
number of cool color schemes might
have been used in this case: beige
and turquoise, white and vermillion,
canary and light green. ivory and
French blue, or many other COM
binations.
Does your living room suffer from
drabness? Opportunities for remak-
ing old furniture with paint are
limitless. End tables. and those
small coffee tables so much in vogue
at the moment, are excellent for in

hand stores have inexpensive ones,
or they may be made by remodeling
old tables.

maker who made an amazingly love

carved leg from a discarded piano.
The plywood was mounted inside
the frame and fastened securely to
the piano leg base. The old surfaces

WHEN FARM RELIEF SUCCEEDS

There is a growing feeling on the
part of those in a position to know
the facts. that government farm re-
lief measures have made their most
conspicuous success when they have
sought to help the farmer help him
self-and, have come nearest to fail
ure when they have simply tried to
change condition through legisla-
tive, judicial or executive fiat.
It's an old axiom that doing a
thing for person isn't nearly so
worthwhile as showing him how to
do II on his own hook, and that is
as true of agriculture as anything
else. When official agencies have
worked to build and strengthen the
farmer-owned cO-Operatives, which
represent concentrated individual eff
fort. they have produced excellent
results.
The co-operatiyes have the great
virtue of permanence. They are not
subject to change as is an admins
tration or a political party. They
are immune to political considera-
tions-they don't depend on votes for
their existence. They can deter
mine upon a policy. and pursue II
one year, five years, or twoney years
IL II is advisable.
The soundly managed cO-Opera-
tiyes, consequently. are getting
somewhere. They are winning out
along dozen fronts-winning in
their fight for stabler markets. bet
ter prices. and fairer break for
the farm producer. They eminently
deserve the great measuer Of agri-
cultural. public and official support
they have been given by those who
understand their motives and their
methods.

 "Pheasants, quail and often rab. bits are particularly partial to hay clover or alfalfa fields for nesting sites," Superintendent Clark states "Often the dense growths of grass afford better conceaiment for nest {. ing operations than any other GOV. or available. Mother pheasants, feeling secure from the view oi natural enemies in these hiding places. oftoh hug nests closely rather than to flush at the ap. proach of Q tenn of horses drawing . moving machine. With their at. tontion concentrated on the noise of the machine and the horses passing by the low. sweeping knivcs extending out from tho mower arc upon them with little warning.
 "The flushing bar is means of frightening the birds from their nests before the sharp cutting blades can reach thcm. A h0ris zontai bar is attached to the tongue Of the mower in front of the horses and extending out to their right, eight feet or so In ad- vancod of the knives. Buriap bags, weighted at the bottom, or chains, arc suspended from the bar 70 aS to brush over the grass and thus flush nesting birds before the knives sinsh through the nesting sitc.

 A few of the smallor towns showed slight, deoreaseg, but those wore aii places, whore fewer than 50 examinations were given during May of last year, and many Of those to out.of-state drivers, who now come under the reciprocity ruling.
 Taking the period from January 1st to May 3ist the record is oven morS cheering than for the month ai0ne.

the matter lies a spirit Of wanton de-
structiveness. perhaps plus q fanatic
wish to inflict an irreparable injury,
a sort OF sadistic impulse that expresses
itself upon the inanimate rather than
upon human sensibilities.
The word vandalism" is derived from
the acts of the old Teutonic tribes that
ranged through Southern Europe in
early times. destroying evidences Of cul-
ture and infiicting punishment upon
their enemies through their works Of
art. Sometimes vengeance was the mo-
tive. but in the main it was hostility
to a higher civilization than their own
that prompted these deeds Of barbar-
ism. Sculptures, paintings. books were
destroyed, a heavy loss to posterity. To-

The mutilated book in q library. the

survival of this ancient spirit Of revolt
against art and learning and spiritual

over the ills Of the human flesh are
yet to be won. Laboratory research
has in very recent years solved patho-
logical problems previously regarded as

marvellous strides in the correction Of
disorders and the elimination Of dis
ease breeding conditions. It is esti-
mated that there are more people in
the world today than ever before.
Certainly with all the ills and afiic-

there are not such wholesale epidemics
