Hooded Warbler.
Wilsonia citrina.

Wilsonia citrina.
w YARBLERS belong to q fam
"A I lily that is a little diff
wv fcult for the beginner to
identify. For one reason,
the birds are small, very
active and much given to treetops.
Some Of the males wear a Joseph
coat Of many colors," and the females
look very different from their mates.
There are l55 known species. Seventy
four are found in North America and
IS in the United States.
To avoid their enemies they migrate
at night. They are not gifted singers
and are shy little creatures. A fash
ing or red light does not confuse
them, but steady white light does,
and many a little bruised body is
found In the dawn, mute evidence
that the flyer crashed into a building,
whose fog g-piercing beacon Is for
guiding mail flyers safely home.
All warblers are our friends. They
have appetites that seem entirely too
large for the size of a bird, and it
is found that the hooded warbler
can catch two insects per minute,
and he does not keep union hours,
either.
Hooded warblers seem to be look
ing through their black hats. Their
foreheads and cheeks are a bright
yellow. Their crowns are black, con-
nected behind with the black of their
threats. The coat, wings and tail
are olive-green. with yellow under
parts. The females have a little
necklace of black instead of the hood.

Upright, adjustable brackets, mount
ed on each side of the bath room
mirror. 66 inches from the floor, will
be comfort when shaving. A large
bath, with deep-colored tile, may re-
quire center ceiling fixture similar
to the one recommended for the kitch-
en-. An outlet, set SO to 48 inches
from the floor, is handy.
In the sewing room a central fix
ture and light on the machine, or
q no0r lamp, are best. An outlet for
a pressing iron is convenient.
Lights that have low brightness
are best for the children's room, where
delicate eyes are sensitive to glare.
A small lamp fastened under the bed,
with the switch near the head, floods
the floor witA light without disturbing
the sleeper.
The telephone table should have a
lamp on the stand, or a wall lamp,
to enable one to find the numbers
conveniently.
Lamp Shades.
When selecting lamp care should
be taken that it harmonizes with
the shade selected, both as to size
and as to material. The shade of
parchment or painted paper should
be used with the lamp made of heavy
pottery or Of an antique jar or bottle.
Shades Of delicate silks and laces are
reserved for lamps of the finest china,
and Oriental jars are best topped
with shades composed Of panels or
Oriental embroidery.
When planning the shades for the
base be sure that they harmonic, as,
for example, keep them in the same
period. If the base is Colonial period
use a Colonial period shade. On the
other hand If the shade is modern
the base should be modern. Besides
being desirable in color and material
and in period style the shade and
base must harmonic with the room.
A shade fiat and reasonably open will
give forth more light over q larger
area than will smaller one. Avoid
straight-sided shades, as they concen-
trate the light in one small spot in
stead of diffusing it over a large work.
ing area, and for the same reason
they should be large.
The ideal shade is made of parch-
ment or a light tone of silk, either
Of which permits a generous share
of light to filter through. If the
shade Is made Of dark or heavy mate
rial, the lining should be white or
pastel. Paper, cotton, linen and silk
are satisfactory materials for shades.
Materials should be translucent
enough to permit the greatest amount
OF light to pass through and still not
show the bulb outline. If silk shades
are used, remember that often a bet
ter effect can be obtained by COM
bining colors than by using one color.
A white or cream lining will permit
the pasasge and the reflection of light
much better than vii la lining in color.
Flattering Light.
Shades in soft beige, sand, yellow,
pale peach, ivory and parchment tones
give the most f1attering light and the
greatest amount of light. These colors
harmonic with any color scheme.
Pale colors reflect light and therefore
are more economical than deep colors
such as red, blue, orange and green,
which absorb 1t. II you wish to use
these colors for shades to accent room
color schemes, 1t is best to use them
In bindings and trims.

ing old fashion thick gravey with
it, and was rescuing some Of the loose
gravey with peeces Of bread on a fork
saying, This is swell gravey but 1t
would taist even sweller if people was
aloud to get it up with their fingers
instead Of their forks.
Why would it for godness sakes
pray? ma said, and I said, Because it
would seem more like you was neerer
to it.
Then suppose the next step would
be to get rite down and lick it up like
an uncultured wild animal. ma said.
Not sounding like such fearse ideer
but me not saying so. and pop said,
You see, Benny, it's like this, self dis
sipling is one Of the earmarks, hall
marks and trademarks of higher civil
iZation. do you understand what self
diSSipling means?
Yes sir, not doing what you feel like,
I said, and pop said, Quite, and I can
simpathize with the itching in your
fingers when you find yourself face to
face with a flock of lushious gravey
and a peece Of bread. What your
whole instructive nature cries out for
you to do. is this, isn't it? he said.
And he took peece of bread and
swobbed it around in his own gravey
and ate it, and I said, Yes sir, this.
And I quick swobbed a peece in my
gravey and ate it. ma saying, Say,
what's going on here?
And yet, in the advanced state of
civilization wich sissiety has reached,
it is not the thing to do, at least on
this side of the Atlantic Ocean, pop
said. In France, understand, adults
as we'll as Children capture their gravey
in manner wich seems primitive to
us. For instants If was a French
father instructing his small son in
gravey imbibing. would counsel you
to do it in this manner, wich according
to our standards you must never do,
he said.
And he quick swobbed another peece
and ate it, and I said, And If was
your French child could do it this
way too.
And hurry up did it again just in
time before ma took both our plates
away and claimed there wasn't any,
thing funny to laugh about.

"Just the same, when this hunt is
over I am coming back here for a
look in that nest. II there isn't some
thing gray up there I can't see
straight"
II believe you are right" said the
other as he backed of in order to get
better view, "but it probably is
Gray Squirrel. He has been scared
by the Dogs and is hiding up there.
Come one, Bill! We want to get that
Fox started again. If a Fox could
climb tree should think the rascal
might be up there. I hear he killed
no less than IL full-grown hens yes

one of the red raScals to kill like that
before"
The two hunters moved of. Gray
Fox had had q bad few minutes. a
very bad few minutes. He breathed
among the trees, that persistent Dog
with them. He would have breathed
easier still could he have known Just
why 1t was that that nest had not
been shot into. 1t was because none
of those hunters had ever seen any
but q Red Fox. They knew nothing
about Gray Foxes. No Fox that they
had ever seen could climb tree like
that.
You see, Gray Fox was the first Of
his family in that section and he had
been there only few days. The hunt
ers and the Dogs knew nothing about
him or his ways, and q nest high up
in big tree was the last place in the
world that they would have dreamed
a Fox would or could hide in. So Gray
Fox was lucky, more lucky than he
deserved to be. But those few bad
minutes had made him very nervous.

properly diffused and controlled light,
which encourages correct posture,
preventing stopped shoulders. spinal
curvatures and the more serious eye
defects. There should be ample light
for mother as she sews, and COM
fortably lighted reading centers for
other members Of the family.
In the living room, as well as in
all rooms, convenient outlets should
be provided, so that portable lamps
may be changed as the occasion de-
mands. Double outlets between OPEN
ings will avoid the running of cords
around doors and openings. Placed
18 inches from the floor, cords and
outlets are easily concealed, are less
expensive to install and are more con-
venient.
In the dining room, the light should
illumine the table, the diners, and at
the same time direct a certain amount
to the walls and ceiling. If a center
fixture is used, 1t should be placed "a
to 35 inches above the table top. It
should be shaded to prevent glare. II
wall brackets are used, they should
also be shaded. An additional outlet,
placed at the end of the table at the
center, is handy to use for plugging
in appliances for table use. Switches
should be placed so that they may be
controlled from either the living room
or the kitchen entrance.
Plenty of light is required in the
kitchen. A diffused glass fixture with
100-watt inside frosted lamp, or q
150-watt daylight lamp in the center
of the ceiling will furnish ample light.
The daylight lamp gives natural
color to foods, and is especially fine for
ironing and close work. In large
kitchens two ceiling lights may be
needed. The sink is best lighted with
bracket hung so inches from the
floor, with 50-watt inside frosted or
60-watt daylight lamp with dense
white shade. The range and other
working centers may be lighted in this

In the Basement.
The basement lighting should be
controlled from the kitchen or head
OF the stairs. Fruit, furnace and laun-
dry rooms should have their own
lights, with pull chains or switch con-
trolls at the entrance. Ironing boards.
tubs and washer are lighted EFFICIENTLY
by a 150-watt daylight lamp in an
incloSed glass fixture in the ceiling.
Outlets are necessary for laundry
equipment.
A shaded ceiling fixture will give
good general light to a bed room. The
switch control should be near the
door. Well-lighted mirrors are neces-
sary. This may be secured by wall
brackets, dressing table lamps, or at
tachable brackets clamped to each
side of the mirror. A lamp on the
bedside table is useful and a shaded
lamp at the head Of the bed provides
comfort for reading in bed.
Closets are lighted by q bracket

Navy and black are the leading
colors for Spring. White and nat

And accessories are made to match.
Always fattering in the Spring, navy

combination for Easter.

To get this effect the waist of the

from science. From the very begin

fact, it is much more difficult, ac-
cording to life insurance companies,
to rear a boy than a girl, from the
standpoint of health. A study of the

Y YOUR home lighting should be
" considered as whole, being
sure that the lights do not
L detract, but add attractive
ness to the rooms. A great
deal Of thought must be spent on the
placing Of lights for the greatest de-
gree of comfort in their use.
Many people will choose a lamp
that is too low for reading and too
glaring for a recreation lamp. Glare
is q sworn enemy to good lighting.
One Of its chief sources. is unShaded
bulbs. A frosted bulb will give forth
a softer light-than an unfrosted one.
Buy those that are frosted inside, as
they reduce the glare and are prac-
tically as efficient as the clear kind.
The ones that are frosted outside also
reduce glare, but they absorb light.
More than one lamp is desirable in
q room, but the number and size
should be governed by the size of the
room. Numerous lamps make small
room appear clumsy. Choose few, but
let them be treasures that you will en-
Joy living with.
Notice how the light rays fall upon
floors and walls; how the shadows are
cast over other sections of the ROOM
The manner of the change the light
has upon the room Is more important
than the lamp itself, since it must
give light and cheer in the absence
Of the sun.
Each lamp should be considered for
two general purposes-for giving light
and as spot of color, or color accent
to q room. From these two general
purposes arises an invitation to ones
imagination to plan and design nu-
merous harmonies in the lighting
scheme Of room in relation to the
other furnishings, and in relation to
other lamps in the room.
For the general illumination of a
room, indirect. table or floor lamps are
fine. To get the most efficiency from
them the ceiling of the room in which
they are used should be white or light
colored. These lamps work on the
principle of throwing the light, by
means Of a reflector, to the ceiling,
which In turn sends back a soft, gen.
eral light over large area.
Many Of them serve double pur-
pose; that is, they have an upper light
for wide illumination and a lower one
for reading. For those joyous occa-
sions when company is gathered, gen.
eral lighting for games and entertain
ment may be provided by properly
shaded central fixture, with the as
sistance Of portable lamps. For those
who do not care for a central fixture
the general lighting may come from
wall brackets and table and floor
lamps.
Correct home lighting should fol-
low these four perfectly clear prin-
ciples Of illumination: Q) Be sure
that each room has sufficient light for
o person to see clearly without strain.
ca Be sure that all lights are prop
erly shaded to avoid glare, which Is
one form Of excess light. (3) Avoid
strong shadows on working areas. a.
Adapt the light to the purpose.
For Different Rooms.

activities include reading, writing,

tions, as well as the entertainment

Suez Canal.
T THE northern, {

7 The northern, or northwest
n ern, end Of the Red Sea is the
~ city Of Suez. 1t is the home
4 4 of more than 10000 persons,
and serves as coaling station
for seagoing vessels: but its chief fame
comes from the fact that 1t is located
at one end of q great waterway-the
Suez Canal.
If it were not for the Suez Canal
goods could not be carried from Eu-
rope to Asia by an al-water route
without much longer trip. A voy-
age would need to be all the way
around Southern Africa; or across the
Atlantic. through the Panama Canal
and across the Pacific.
The Suez Canal was built almost
half q century before the Panama
Canal. In sense, it took the place
Of a canal which existed thousands
Of years ago-back In the time of
ancient Egypt.
The Kings of olden Egypt ordered
a waterway to be cut from a branch
of the Nile River to the Red Sea, and
through the labors of great armies of
workers it was done.
