some help. I graduated from a
school of design in Philadelphia,

hand-painted fabrics, and since the

it is one of the best ways to do it..

work so nicely that you really fee.
you have accomplished something.
A friend of mine painted Turkish
towels last year for gifts; he used
a stencil and they turned out beau
tifully. He got rose stencil and
laid it on the towel and then used
regular stencil brush (flat, stubby
kind. In this case, he didn't thin
the paint but the towels were very
absorbent and the rough texture
blended the outline.
I believe if you will follow these
directions you will have considerable

VENETIAN BLINDS.
MIRROR INQUIRY?
From Mrs. H. B. F., Bethesdd.)
A few days ago a lady inquired
about the merits of wood, steel or
aluminium Venetian blinds. If she
would call me at Oliver 1914 would
be glad to make suggestions. We
have installed custom m-made steel
blinds all over our new house and
are satisfied in every way. The sales
man suggested dark tapes on white
blinds but I ordered white instead
and you've no idea how much bet
ter they look from outdoors.
We would like to fasten a plate
glass mirror over our mantel but
we've heard that the wall might be-
come damp and ruin the silver on
the mirror. Has any one ever had
this experience?

Furlouqhs Pilots
By the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Air-
plane reservations, almost i'm
possible to obtain last summer,
have been going begging for
the last few days, with num-
ber of planes leaving La Guar
dia Field with empty seats.
Major airlines agreed today
that with the exception of the
holiday rushes there had been
q slump in travel during the
last few months, but none was
prepared to say definitely
whether crashes were a factor
in the decline.
Most Of them attributed the
empty seats to more and larger
planes and the seasonal lull in
air travel.
American Airlines said 1t had
furloughed $50 first officers of
planes, effective January 10,
because Of the delay in receipt
of additional equipment, but
it hoped to be able to recall
all of the men later.

The National Federation of Amer

ican merchant feet has dropped
54 per cent from its postwar peak
of 43,319 900 deadweight tons. 1t
predicted an additional SO per cent
decrease by the end of l947.
The federation said the 80 per
cent decrease, reducing the fleet
to 17,50O,000 tons, would be largely
attributable to the resurgence Of
the foreign tramp feet which can
now operate at cost level COM
pletely out of our class
The statement added that a re-
daction to 100000 tons in the
future was almost inevitable m-
less certain political and economic
disabilities can be corrected"
IA fleet of this size" the state
mhnt said, would be far below the

Federal School Aid
For South Is Urged
|By Howard President
pr. Mordecai johnson, presiden,

DR.. Mordecai Johnson, president
Of Howard University, yesterday
called for Government support Of
education to remedy a situation
which results in i, 100, 900 Negro chill
dren yearly going without schooling
DR.. johnson, VINO spoke over Sta
ton WWDC on the Americans All''
program, declared educational op-
portunities for many white as well
as Negro children In Southern
States were below par because the
ability Of the States to pay for pub
lie education was the lowest in the
Nation.
He declared the time has come for
the. Federal Government "to estab-
lish q minimum annual classroom
expenditure below which the educa-.
ton of no American child shall fall.
It can make an annual appropria- :
tion designed to help the States, by
progressive steps, to bring up to
that minimum every classroom in
the Nation that is below it,"
The Howard University head said
Army ofiicials recorded that 35.5 per
cent of Negro registrants in the
draft could not pass the Army S
standard minimum intelligence test.
He pointed out that Is out of every
100 colored registrants from Mis-
sissippi could not write their names
and had to sign papers with a
cross.
DR.. johnson said that of ''9,00o,-
600 colored Americans in 18 States
there were only 10000 candidates for
high school graduation"
Noting that teachers in colored
schools average $232 year in Mis-
sissippi and $371 in South Carolina,
DR.. johnson asserted Government
aid to raise these salaries was ma
tional necessity.
A paper about Howard University
was read by DIR. James M. Nabrit,
jr.. secretary of the school, on the
program. The Americans ALP
presentation is sponsored by the In
stitute on Race Relations.
