inexpensively. In fact, on rare oc-
casions one might be so lucky as
to obtain them for nothing. Com
mercial plants today use metal

method is much faster, and If a
company can be found which has
not disposed of all its old stones.
! they may be acquired for little or
nothing. A few years ago large COM
mercial establishment was changing
over to metal plates and didn't
know what to do with the very
large stock of stones on hand. In
order to get rid of them, they had
them built into wall around the
grounds.
However, whether new or used,
the stones must be prepared for use
by grinding the surfaces. This is
known as granting" and is accom-
plished by rubbing one stone on
another with wet carborundum pow
der between.
After the surface has been grained,
the design may be applied with
either crayon or photographic ink,
called "tusche.' There is no use
practicng on paper with tusche be-
cause the feel is entirely different.
The crayon feels about the same on
either paper or stone.
When the design has been ap-
piled. the stone is etched with the
proper acid solution which renders
the surface imperviouS to ink on the
portions not previously drawn upon.
The crayOn or tuSChe is removed
with water and turpentine mix
ture, and photographic crayon ink
is applied to the.'wet stone with
a roller. All is now ready for
printing.

pensive item needed for lithography

are already few presses in Wash

AS stated before, the books will
give detailed instruction, and the
outline here is intended only tc

simple to be used by any one, ano

The graphic arts are not widely
followed as hobbies. This is largely
because those with considerable tai
ent make art their vocation rather
than their avocation and those with
only slight ability feel their work
would be too poor to bother with It.
This is unfortunate, as there are
many forms of art through which
the amateur could express himself
and find thereby that needed re-
Taxation for which all hobbies are so
highly priced.
A few weeks ago Autograph COL
lecting was described in this column
with the promise that production
would be outlined later AS men,
toned then, the first steps are the
same for both the budding collector
and the embryo artist. The work of
professional photographers should be
seen and some good books on the
subject should be read
The Public Library has many
books on TYPOGRAPHY. Some sug-
gestions are The Invention of

Cthe inventor of the process :;
"Lithography for Artists by Bolton
Brown: How to Make Litho-
graph" by Stow Wengenroth. and
Creative Lithography and How to
Do It." by Grant Arnold. If these
should all be out, the advisers at
the library will be glad to suggest
others. Any Of these books will give
detailed instructions on the process.
and the last-named should prove
particularly helpful.
Having studied the theory of
TYPOGRAPHY, the next step will be
to go TO the Congressional Library
any week day and ask to see some
of the works of your favorite
photographer, Look these over and
try to see how the artist achieved
his effects.
The third step will be to buy some
photographic crayonS. All lith-
ographic equipment is best bought
directly from photographic supply
house. The crayons come in many
degrees Of hardness; try a No

crayons must be sharpened before
using and this can best be done
with very sharp knife or razor
blade, slicing from the tip back

Meistrell has been interested in dog

his first subject, and she turned in
an astoundingly good record, 1t was

phase OF war service by finding
supposedly wounded soldiers at a
meeting of the Long Island Train
Ing Club. This club, too, has Or
eanized a class in war work, and 1t
is expected that most Of the coun-
try's AZ training clubs will follow
suit before the year is out.
In England a call was made re-
Gently for dog volunteers for the
army. The breeds particularly
wanted were collies. airedales. Lab
rador and golden retrievers. These
dogs will be trained at the War Dog
School at Aldershot.
Since obedience training Is the
basis of all subsequent training, the
1000 dogs which have obtained
obedience titles in this country may
will serve as nucleus and an eX-
ample for further training OF dogs
