Hand Painting of China
Stages Current Revival

China painting, an accomplish
ment boosted by almost every young
woman around 1900 when it was at
it's peak, is coming back, says Mrs.
Jessie L. Wood, Michigan artist.
'China painting is being taught in
the schools and more space is being
devoted to it in the art magazines"
says Mrs. Wood, veteran teacher
of china painting, but now painter
in oils. "But in 1900 we did mostly
flowers. Now the work is in con-
ventional designs.
cts true there were some hor-
rible things perpetrated in the name
of art by some of the china paint
ers, but probably the fad served
good purpose in arousing an interest
in art and making the young girls
appreciate paintings they saw. Min
eral paints are used and china is
a difficult medium on which to work
because of it's rapid drying. The
painting was dried in kilns and the
colors were always changed by the
heat. Some results were lovely. I
still have a set of china and many
painted pieces from that time"

Auto Liability Insurance

Motorists who carry liability insur-
ance not only should know the
amounts of the coverage limits, but
they also should understand exactly
what those limits mean. For ex-
ample, let it be assumed that a mo-
torist carrying a standard limit
S., 000-$10, 900 policy is involved in an
accident in which more than one per-
son in the other car is killed or in
jured and a judgment of $4,000 is
rendered against the assured. As
sumo further that, as frequently &C.
curs-three persons are injured and
judgments in their favor are rem
dered in the amounts of $1,000, So, 900
and 1000. The assured carrying a
SIS, 000-$10,000 liability policy must
pay $4,000 of the $1,000 judgment
himself because the policy sets forth
definitely that the limit for one per-
son cannot exceed $1,000. Motor
lists should know that this is not a
"trick" feature nor is it found in the
policy of any single company. It is
standard in all liability policies.

Russian Determines Ages
OF Children by Fingers

MOSCOW.-A method of determin-
ing the age of children through
X-ray photographs of hands is
claimed by Prof. V. Kuznetsoff, So
Wet medical expert, who was re-
Gently awarded the degree of doc
tor of medical science by the board
of the Second Moscow Medical in
stitute.
Professor Kuznetsoff photographed
the hands of $50 children and report
ed that the ages of juveniles be-
tween 10 and IA may be determined
almost unerringly through changes
that take place in phalanges of the
fingers. He is now trying to ex-
tend his method to determining age
up to the eighteenth year.

Good Care of Clothes
Will Cut Living Costs

There's q tidy amount OF pin
money to be picked up by thrifty
wives right in Friend Husbands
clothes closet. Not in the pockets
of the suit he will wear tomorrow,
however, but merely in the care OF
the same.
Since most of the nations 81 AGO.
600 wives take care of their hus-
bands clothes anyhow, they might
as well save from $40 to 500 year
on hubby's wardrobe yet keep him
better groomed than ever by follow
ing a few simple rules, according
to Tony Williams, New York de-
signer who creates wardrobes for
goodly section of the nations best
dressed men.
Suits last from Is to 40 per cent
longer and hold their creases better
if they are always hung, preferably
on shaped wooden hangers, he points
out. Suits are made of wool not
only because it is an exceptional in
sulator against both heat and cold
but because it springs back into
shape when allowed to hang, he ex-
planned.
Trousers should always be hung
from the bottom, if possible. Their
weight helps pull them back into
perfect shape. It is also worth the
trouble to brush the dust and dirt
out of trouser cuffs before hanging,
he declares.
A press will last longer if the suit
is allowed to hang for a day after
pressing, as this sets the crease
firmly. Suits themselves will last
longer if they get a days rest be-
tween wearings, even if the Old Man
has only two outfits.
When sending the Mister's shoes
to be repaired, it is well to remem-
Der that rubber heels are not only
more comfortable and longer wear
ing than leather, but hold shape and
remain trimmer. A survey re-
veals that IS per cent of the nations
males prefer them anyhow.
BY keeping a sharp eye on Hub
by's ties and occasionally pressing
them and removing a spot, wives
can help him always to have the
fresh appearance of man who is
definitely on his way to success.

England's Patriotic Village

Rhuddlan, England, is a village
both patriotic and lucky. In the
days of Edward I it was an armed
camp. Ever since, it had taken the
lead among English counties for pa
triotism and fervor in time of war.
In the World war it gave a quarter
of it's population to the army, and
those who were too old to fight took
munition jobs. Of the 1000 inhabi-
tants, 221 joined up and 22O returned.
So Rhuddlan is both patriotic and
lucky. In the present war, every
young man in the village able to
fight has gone. More than a quarter
of the total population of 1,700 is in
khaki. Not youth between II and
Is is left in the village nor is there
a conscientious objector.

Autos Silence Is Important

One of the most appealing features
of a new car is its silence. Keeping
it noiseless is matter of correct
maintenance right from the start for
it is a fact that body bolts are in
clined to loosen most rapidly when
the car is new. They should be tight
ened at the end of the first 500 miles
and again at 1880. The task re-
quires but few minutes and costs
little enough to justify having it
done.
