Glass Chalkboard,

Christmas note: Why not one of
the new chalkboards, installed as a
decorative and useful part of the
wall Of the nursery?
1t Is not just a blackboard, 1t is
a piece of specially treated plate
glass, designed to provide a durable
blackboard and at the same time
lessen the eye strain in children of
school age. The glass blackboard
has less glare and is made not only
in black but in green and ivory.
The lighter colors are used to bet
ter advantage with artificial iuumi-
nation, 1t is said. Of course, with
the ivory and green glass boards,
your youngSter would use dark
chalk-which, being somewhat novel,
might make for ambitious efforts,
who can tell? Anyway, the light
colors are more decorative for walls
than plain black, we think.
The new boards are non-porous.
non-absorptive and chemically re-
sistant. Like ordinary plate glass,
they are sanitary, odorless and nom
staining. Also, they are durable. If
an unusual strain or shock should
smash them, they would crumble
instead Of splintering like ordinary
plate glass. The glass board is in
stalled by cementing to the wall and
reinforced with metal or wood frame
molding nailed to the wall.
Lest you think the whole idea
strictly luxury item, we hasten to
give the price-s1 a square foot.
which means a 5-by-3-foot board
for about SIS, plus cost of install
lation, of course. Plenty of young
sters would welcome such a Christ
mas gift.

Advice on Brickwork

Good workmanship is essential for
good brickWork The brick should
be laid level with uniform mortar
joints not exceeding three-quarter
inch in thickness. Joints should be
filled solid with mortar and be
weathered or tooled Bricks which
are sound, hard burned, free from
cracks and uniform in size should
be used. Good bricks also will not
absorb too much water.

BY THE OLD CABINETMAKER.

Pine is the wood of our early set
tiers. 1t was used perhaps more
than any other one wood because
it was available, it worked easily and
was durable. Many houses were built
in that early day of pine and some
of them are still standing
In referring to John and Priscilla
Alden's house, history quotes a poem,
Solid, substantial, of timber hewn
from the frs of the forest" Pine
belongs to a very large family.
There are many species ranging
from shrub to the great white pine
we see growing in forests and as
ornamental trees, particularly in the
New England States and the North
ern Middle West. Many fine white
pines grow to height Of 100 feet.
1t usually has limb growth quite
close to the ground. When the trunk
is sawed, this limb growth, because
it grows we'll through the trunk, is
evident in the board and is actually
a knot. This is one of the beauties
of pine. especially as cabinet wood
and for beautiful panel work. Not
all white pine is knotty. Good clear
white pine is available, but Is not
as interesting for cabinet wood. 1t
does, however, make beautiful trim
in houses.
White pine is soft wood, and,
of course, white in color. The set
tiers used pine for benches, Bible
boxes and numerous other household
articles. Today pine is used in ex-
cellent reproductions of both early
American pieces and 18th century
English furniture. Beautiful panel
wood with lovely holdings and den-
tils is made Of pine, and thousands
of feet of pine al used for the
simpler panelwork in recreation
rooms.
The Redwood.
Redwood is one of natures won-
ders. King of all plant life, it is
related to the evergreen family and
to cypress. 1t is considered to be
among the oldest of living things
1t is believed that these trees were
their present size thousands of years
ago. Redwoods grow in a mild
climate and today are found only
in California. Botanists tell us that
in past ages they grew in the Mid
die West, but were destroyed by
violent climatic changes. RedwoodS
are truly giants, growing to height
of nearly 300 feet and more than 80
feet in diameter.
1t is a soft wood, reddish in color
and rather light in weight. 1t is
not affected, as many other woods
are, by dampness and moisture, and
is excellent for shingles. weather
boarding and dozens of other out
door uses. 1t works very easily and
to those who enjoy the pastime of
redwood is perfect. 1t is
not a cabinet wood, except the
stump growth. which is cut into
and has a beautiful burl
figure. This burl is used extensively
for inlays in furniture. on the drawer
fronts Of bureaus, chests, dressing
tables, bed panels, sideboards, china |
cabinets, occasional pieces and for |
decorative inlays on radio cabinets. |
Modern furniture designs are great
ly enhanced by the beauty of the
redwood burl, and this fact has cre-
ated good demand for it. The |
ourl. when finished, is a deep rich |
reddish brown and is exceedingly |
handsome in contrast with woods
Of lighter color.

PHOENIX, Oct. 4 UP)-A new
twist in state political circles was
seen today in the election of cat
tlemen as chairman of both the
Democratic and Republican state
central committees in Mondays
state conventions.
Dan c. Mckinney, Tucson, was
elected chairman of the Democratic
party organization and Llyod D.
Lakin of Phoenix was named head
of the Republican state central COM
mittee. Mckinney was Sidney P.
Osborn's campaign manager during
the primary election.
Both party conventions were
harmonious.
Mckinney bore the endorsement
of Osborn, who won the Demo
cratic gubernatoral race, while
Lakin was elected without opposi-
ton thereby seemingly having the
support of Jerrie w. Lee, COP
candidate.
The Democratic convention pass
ed resolutions endorsing the cop
per tariff board, approving an ini-
tiative amendment to the state con-
stitution to exempt irrigation and
power districts from taxation, and
pledged party congressional mem
bers to vote for reclamation pro-
ject appropriations.
Democratic spokesmen, including
Gov. r. T. Jones, pledged support
CT the party ticket and indicated
close harmony will mark the fall
campaign. A committee was to be
appointed by Mckinney to investi-
gate Irregularities in nomination

f1dence of the membership as any
other committee. I sincerely regret

Kennedy included Representatives
