authority for your statements?
MR. E. c. NJ, Alexandra.
Answer
I have also been told that bricki
were shipped here from England by
people that I am sure felt that they
were well informed, and that was the
prevailing opinion up until few years
ago. Recent careful excavation on
some of the more important estates
has shown evidence that the bricks
were made there and architects and
historians feel that it is logical that
they were. After all there must have
been plenty of things to fill up those
tiny vessels coming to the Colonies
without filling them with bricks. 1t
is probable that the brickmakers and
brick masons were from England and
Holland, as there is nothing provincial
about the workmanship. The clay
of Virginia and Maryland is excel
lent for brick making also: but the
real evidence is in the actual discovery
of the pits and kilns.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
There is an old tool shed with
cement floor at the end of our gar
den that We wish to make into a
playhouse for the children. 1t has
but one very tiny window Our prob
lem is to plan for light and furnish
ings. Have YOU any suggestions?
HELEN H. G., Edgemore, Md
Answer-I would use old-fashioned
whitewash for the walls, unless you
wish to go to the expense of wall
board. It is inexpensive, easy to apply
and spiders. bugs and ants do not
like its 'limey" smell. Paint the
floor with cement paint, two coats, in
a good clean green. Rather than
bother with more windows, I should
put in large double doors, that will
swing wide to expose the whole in
terror, 80 that sunlight, air and
mothers eye" can penetrate the far
corners. For furniture. a table and
several chairs built to fit the children,
and a cabinet for toys and dishes.
They will make all the rest out Of
everything they can find.

Color Is Held
Sure Cure
For Blues
Department Stores
Offer Wide Scope
At Small Cost.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

COLOR is the word. It's on every
ones lips-anyway you want to
look at it. It's on cheeks and eyes,
hair and nails. It's in the home, on
the children, even on the conserva-
tive male-yes, look at his ties, his
spring and summer suits and shirts.
Color is a definite language and it
has its individual, psychological reac-
tions. That in itself is a pretty
involved subject and we will treat
it at some length some other time.
But for the present suffice it to say
that there is nothing like color to lift
you out Of the blues" In fact, blue
in all its brighter variations. is said to
be swell antidote for the blues.
There's nothing like color to lift
you out of the doldrums, nothing like
color to make you feel more gay, Moth
ing like color to make life seem more
interesting; and incidentally nothing
like color to make you seem more in
teresting to others. 1t does take charm,
hobbies and any number of things to
make one "a colorful person." but
surrounding yourself with color may
go long way toward winning that
reputation for you.
I still feel that not every woman
can wear every color. at least not
with equal effectiveness. But per-
haps you can wear more colors than
you suspect. Department stores are
offering all sorts Of service at no extra
cost. Whether you are purchasing a
readymade costume or the material
if you are clever enough to make it
yourself, ask for cosmetic specialist.
She'll come up with her complete
paraphernalia. give you a makeup
for the particular color you have in
mind and then you can judge for
yourself!

ERRED IN NAMING TULIPS
Austrian Ambassador to Turkey
Misled by Interpreter.

Tulips are tulips by mistake, says
Nature Magazine. Busbequius, Aust
tria's Ambassador to Turkey, in the
middle of the 18th century, found them
grown extensively. In fact, the Grand
Vizier Ibraim Pasha kept tulip gar
dener and listed 1923 varieties in his
garden.
Writing home about these plants,
the Ambassador referred to the flower
which the Turks call tulipam." How
ever, he apparently was confused by
an interpreter who was describing the
flowers as similar to the fez in shape,
using the word ''tulband," which
means the cloth from which the
Turkish headgear is made. Tulips
are known to the Turks by the Persian
word "lale"

MOCK CONVENTION PROCEDURE URGED

Explanation of procedure at party conventions and the outline of how nominations are made formed the basis for a talk by Mrs. Harry s. Coe last night at meeting of the Women's Republican Club at the Steele building.
 The speaker related that Con- necticut is one of the few states which does not have the direct primary, thus that nominations must be. made by conventions of delegates selected for the purpose. She discussed the increase of Wa terbury's voting districts from 20 to 32, which currently is in effect and which will cause changes in voting procedures of the past, next fall.
 Mrs. Phoebe Emmons, who pre- sided, remarked concerning the public speaking classes planned by the New Haven County Republican Women's. Association at the Y. w. c. A., New Haven, the first of these today and weekly thereafter for five sessions. Those wishing to register were referred to Helen M. Smith, of I'll Broad street, Milford. The classes will be conducted by Mrs. Joseph Franklin and coached by Mrs. Alice w. Russ.
 It was suggested by Mrs. Coe that the local club stage limitations of the various kinds of conventions at future meetings in order to become familiar with the procedure.

DOM CIOVANNINI
 HIGHLY PRAISED
Local Man Carved Best Set of Reproduction of
 Seven DWarfs

c. A. Meade, travelling representa- tive for the Walt Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," to- day credited a Waterbury youth with having carved the best set of reproduction of the principal figures in the picture that he has seen all over the country.
 The figures were carved by Dom Giovannini of Country Club road. The figures are about five inches high, and are beautifully colored.
 Pictures in 8 child's Snow White book were used as a model by MT. Giovannini. He carved the figures from ply-wood, using a small saw purchased in the five and ten cent store.
 The carvings present Snow White as her winsome self, as well as the seven dwarfs, Doc, Happy, Grumpy, Sleepy, Nosey, Sneezy and Dopey.
 MT. Giovannini, who left the army year and half ago, is now em- ployed by local automobile firm. The carvings which have won such high praise, he says. are only mod els, and he plans to make set of figures several feet high to put on the lawn of his home.
