Consider the Farmer
BY jim RHODYE

IF SPORTSMEN would stop
a moment to think about it,
they would suddenly realize
that the farmers of this ma
tion-if they chose to take
such automatically could end all
hunting and fishing in the United
States. The only areas not affected
by any such movement, were It
ever to come, would be so infini-
tesimal as to be hardly worth con-
sidering.
Henry F. Davis, public relations
manager for the Remington arms
company, puts the case concisely
and graphically in a recent Rem.

ANSWER: l suppose the pieces
are made of white wood, such as
maple, and the varnish has been
scuffed off. I believe you will find
it more satisfactory to do a good
job rather than touch up the pieces
with preparations for hiding the
damage. However, perhaps you
would rather do it this way. If so,
ask your hardware dealer for one
or two of the new products made
for concealing scratches and other
blemishes on furniture or ask at
a furniture store.

FIRST AID to the
.sesIaA AILING HOUSE
by Roger c. Whitman

QUESTION: Our wallpaper is
coming loose above our radiator
We papered three years ago this
spring. We took all the old paper
off and then gave the walls good
coat of glue sizing. Could you sug-
gest something we could use that
will not loosen the paper? 1--WE
have vapor heat.)
ANSWER: AS you say the paper
loosened above the radiator, but
evidently did not loosen anywhere
else, make the guess that the
heat was in the radiator at the
time of papering, and the heat
dried out the glue size too quickly
so that the paper did not make a
good bond. If you are planning to
repaper, make sure that the radi-
ator is cold at the time you paper
that part of the room.

Ohio Legislature
Gets Bill To Return

trial Department" would replate
the well established college Of edu
cation and Industrial Arts which
has been in legal operation as 8
state supported college since 1914
The measure would reduce the
number of trustees appointed h
the governor from eight to five
and would increase the AMF
Church elected representatives
from one to three with the presi
dent of the church college as az
ex-otficer and Eotingl mdnsber
Thus the AME would have no:u
members on a nine member ste
board.
The business manager of thu
College would be replaced by
superintendent who would be the
executive of the state depart
ment who would take over tho
powers of the president of tho
college. This means that the AMF
church school of the state school
Senator Boyd said he had followed
the recommendation of Norman
MCGEE of Cleveland in drafting
his bill. MCGEE is the attorney
, for the Wherefore University
church board of trustees and spon-
sor of the opposition of the state
college.
This bill, according to a college,
administration spokesman, would
deprive the state which has pro-
perry and facilities valued at more
than $5,ooo,ooo from having
college at Wherefore and subor
dinates it to the position of
mere auxiliary of the church sch
DOL which has four buildings on an
immediate campus Of Ia acres. The
state would furnish the money
and facilities without any insti-
tutional status in the direction
and operation in educational a.
fairs.
The bin would also prevent the
granting of any degree by the
state college and subject its cour-
ses to the dictation Of the leader
ship of the church school.
