BABY ON TRAIN.

from Mrs. J. L., Alexandria, Va
This is in answer to the request
Of Mrs. P. R. l.. about how to keep
8 baby from falling out of a berth
on a train. This spring we took
our 13-month-old baby to Michi-
gan. We had compartment one
way and a double bedroom coming
back, and I would advise trying to
get this kind of reservation If at
all possible as it makes caring for
a baby so much easier. We found
1t a very simple matter to barri-
cade the baby in the upper berth.
In the compartment there was a.
lattice-work webbing of heavy bur-
lap which covered the entire length
OF the berth except for an opening
where the ladder went up. This
opening we shut off with a large
suit case which we strapped onto
the rail SO it could not fall over on
the baby.
However, a blanket pinned to the
burlap webbing and wrapped over
and pinned to the rail at top and
bottom of the upper berth works
just as well, if not better. The dou-
bic bedroom had openings at both
ends, SO two blankets were neces-
sary. Our baby slept as peace
fully and as safely as if he were
IN his crib at home.

PFIZE CONTRIBUTION
Bv Michael Murray, |.

Catholic University Campus School.
James Mulquin has one of the
most interesting hobbies I have ever
heard Of. Jimmy" as every one
calls him, is in the seventh grade
at Catholic University Campus
School. His hobby is collecting mill
tary insignia. and so far he has
over 200.
They are mostly Army insignia
although there are few Navy ones
too. The cloth ones Jimmy keeps
in scrapbooks and the metal ones or
a long pad, pinned down. When
he showed them to me at his home
at 2218 Randolph street NE, he
would tell me exactly where this
group was fighting and what this
other group had done. He keeps UP
with them all very well.
Jimmy says this hobby is fast be-
coming very popular and will some
day be in the No. spot in hobbies
preceded only by stamps and coins
I could not close this without men
ton of Jimmy's military equipment
which includes British and American
helmets, hand grenade, cartridge
belt, a ships clock and many other
things which are strewn about his
room. I truly think that he knows
as much about the services as any
soldier, sailor or Marine.

Handy Hose Hound
For Your Lawn Is
Simple to Make
BY ELma Waltner.

Dogs can be trained to do a good
many stunts, from playing dead to
carrying things in their mouths. Our
faithful little friend Pal is an es-
pecially patient dog, so much so that
he is willing to sit day after day
and nights. too, if you like-holding
the garden hose in his mouth.
It's no trick to make him. Hunt
up an old apple box, knock off the
wood from one end and you have
the necessary lumber all ready ex-
cept for scraping of the label and a
little sanding.
Enlarge the pattern by using l.
inch squares and drawing into each
larger square that part of the design
that appears in the corresponding
smaller square. Using this method
you should have no difficulty in
keeping correct proportions, even if
drawing isn't one of your major &C
complishments.
Having prepared your pattern. cut
it out and draw around the outline
on the wood. Be sure to lay the
pattern on the wood in such a posi-
ton that the wood grain runs along
the length of the pup.
Cut out the figure with a scroll
or jigsaw and sand it quite smooth.

The Art Word
Pennell Prize Print Exhibition
At the Library of Congress-

American Revolution" There are
others of the same order and nc
less we'll rendered-life has many
sides. OF the abstract puzzle pic
lures, of which there are more than
heretofore. little need be said. They
meet the eye of the visitor in the
first section of the exhibition in
serigraphs, the name now given to
silk screen prints-a method well
adapted to commercial purposes but
rarely as pleasing artistically as the
color wood block or etching we'll
handled
That there are in this collection
numerous prints artistically pleas
ing as well as technically good goes
without saying. Ogden Pleissner, for
instance, has contributed a BEAU
tiful etching of mountain range,
The Aleutians," which has dignity
and beauty as well as strength-that
strength sought by the Psalmist
when he lifted up his eyes to the
hills. Canyon Crest" by Harold
Doolittle; Desert" by George
Pierce; "Alexander,s Cider Mill" by
Chauncey Ryder, are all memorable
for both sincerity and beauty. There
are others in this same category.
Palenske is represented by an etch-
ing of a great eagle attacking a
small flock of canvasbacks: Richard
Bishop shows well-etched plate of
wild ducks in fight, and from Ben
son B. Moore of Washington has

Most of these exhibits are great

interesting comparisons.
Two of the greatest woodcuts Of
the 18th century are on view; they
were formerly owned by the Bare

"Cruciflxion,' with design of OBJ
vious balance, and a Lament" are
printed in several colors, red, green
and brown, still strong and clear
after 500 years.
Several decades later than these
is an extremely rare example OF
primitive French art, a richly col
ored woodcut of Christ Appearing
to Mary Magdalen," done about 1900
1t is more knowing in technique
although no more reverent, than
the earlier German prints.

there are Italian prints of this sub.
ject, of approximately the same pc.

inhabited by fearsome monsters.
Durer was the peerless master O.
the woodcut, and is represented here
with six prints from his "Grea,
Passion" series. Another unusua
German item is a chiaroscuro prin

Uncle Rays Corner

In this month Of May we can look
back 40 years to another May when
q great scientist tested q flying
machine. His name was Samuel
Pierpont Langley, and he was secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institution.
Langley was at the time only q
few months short Of his SD BIRTH
day. The fact he was willing to
make such tests at his age proved
that the spirit of youth was still in
him.
Going back to that time, we find
that people knew almost nothing
about airplanes. A few men had
tested gliders, and an Englishman
named Stringfellow was said to have
flown an 8-pound airplane model
by Its own power in 1848. Yet no
one had shown that q long, steady
flight Of an airplane could be made.
The world had not heard of the
Wright brothers or Of Glenn p.
Curtiss.
Langley had studied the problems
Of night and on May 6, 1896, he
brought forward = little plane with
two pairs Of wings. The spread Of
the larger pair was just under Is
feet. II was not meant to carry q
pilot, but was built to prove that q
larger plane Of the kind could carry
one or more persons.
There were two propellers be-
hind the front wings, and these
were driven by little steam engine
with one and q half horsepower. A
catapult was used to launch the
craft from . houseboat on the Po-
tomac River. In steady, curving
graceful flight this machine new
$500 feet before the water was used
up In the steam boiler. Then II
landed gently In the river, In what
was called "a three-point landing"

From these the visitor receives an
impression of America today-a
portrait" which, in some instances
gives the visitor pause and some
times reinsurance.
Among the five prints receiving
first awards are two of exceptional
interest These are wood engrav-
ing by Thomas w. Mason, entitled
Near Lyme, Sunset" and an en-
craving on metal, Flight Into
Egypt" by Carl v. Schultheiss.
There are few that have done wood
engravings from nature with the
f1rmness and at the same delicacy,
as has Mason, and perhaps fewer
still who have engraved on metal
more skillfully than his confrere
Schultheiss. Their ways are quite
different but their purpose the same
A mong Greatest of All Time
Scarcely had this exhibition opened
when honorary and associate men,
bers of the Society of American
Etchers received copies of the
Schultheiss plate, beautifully print
ed, and accompanied by an intro
duction to the engraver and ap-
probation of his work by the So
cietys president, John Taylor Arms
In this Mr.. Arms placed the en-
rgraver among the greatest of all
time, because of his technical skill
and ability to imbue his works with
spiritual quality 1T takes courage -
he said, for a modern artist to go
to the Scriptures for his subject
matter, so completely have the old
masters made that field their own"
To which he added, "At time when
the whole future of state, we have
come to call civilization, hangs in
the balance, it is both refreshing
and inspiring to have an artist lead
us back for a moment to the Bible
story and all that it means"
Carl SchultheiSs was born in
Nuremberg in 1885. 1t was there
in boyhood that he became familiar
with the engravings by Schongauer
and Durer. In this field he has had
no other teachers. Comparatively
early in life he married and came
to this country and here in 1924 his
son Peter now serving in the Army
of the United States in Europe was
born. Nuremberg, by report, now
lies in ruins and doubtless many
of the works of the greatest print
makers have been destroyed. But
their ideals and spirit live on, to
inspire and to teach-the heritage
is safe, the beauty which they mani
tested in their works is, as ever,
immutable.
This exhibition in the Library of
Congress will continue until the last
of June if not longer.

Alexander Graham Bell watched
this model airplane fly above the
Potomac, and said. "Its motion was
so steady that I think q glass OF
water on its surface would have
remained unspilled."
The fight, and one made with
another model later in the same
year, pointed the way to successful
airplane fight. Langley felt that
he had done enough and that others
could build larger, man-carrying
planes in years to come. He was
urged, however, to 60 on with the
work and the Government provided
him with $4,000 for the purpose.
After much labor Langley and his
assistants prepared a large airplane
with a gasoline motor which would
provide So horsepower. This motor
weighed 100 pounds.
Two tests were made in 1908 with
the large airplane, both of them
failures. Charles M. Manley was the
pilot. He escaped serious injury,
but the plane plunged into the Po-
tomac soon after it was catapulted
In one case it flew $50 feet.
Many persons living at that time
spoke about "Langley's folly" They
said it was foolish for men to try
to travel in heavier-than-air flying
machines. They did not know that
the Wright brothers and others soon
would prove how wrong they were
In 1914 the machine used in DR.
Langley's tests was repaired BY
Glenn Curtiss. Pontoons were addec
and q few other small changes were
made. Then Glenn Curtiss flew Il
with success over Lake Keuka ir
New York. Eight years before DR.
Langley had died. but his wori
lived after him and he Is honoret

Cause I guess I always knew
That no matter how alone was,

I used my imagination
And upon it built my dreams.

My happiest hours were those I spent
In my childhood dreams each day
