hold the glass, print and
backing. The A-inch rabbet
is recessed to a depth of % of
an inch. The glass is held in
place with glaciers points
little triangular metal tabs you
can get at any hardware store.
A16x20-inch sheet of cardboard
is slipped in behind the
mounted print, and fastened
with GLACIERS points. After the
print has been placed in posi-
ton and covered with the
cardboard, gummed paper or
cellulose tape is run along the
edges to make the seal COM
plete or, if you prefer, the en-
tire back may be covered with
a sheet Of heavy brown paper
secured with glue. OF course,
the dimensions Of the frame
can be changed to fit your
needs.
Temporary Frame Differs
The temporary exhibition
frame is made of much heav-
ier material and considerable
manual skill is required in
putting it together. We have
borrowed a feature of the
Photographic printing frame to
facilitate changing prints. The
revolving wooden Stats which
lock the frames back in posi-
ton can be swung aside at the
touch of a finger to release the
print-a much handler method
than the old way Of drawing
out innumerable metal points
or brads each time a print is
to be replaced.
To build this frame, use
strips of the maple wood lax
Ax21 inches for the long side
and the same measurements
for the short side except in
the length which should be
171a inches. The rabbet is
16x20 inches with a recess of
15/16x3s inch, allowing room
for the insertion of A-inch
beads which hold the glass
permanently in position.
The joints are mitered and
double-splined for great rigid
ity. Corner irons are coun-
terSunk and screwed into posi-
tion to add to the stability of
the frame. Number 700 1ax34-
inch brass mirror plates are
installed for both horizontal
and vertical hanging.
Use PIywood
Plywood, 1s inch thick, is
used for the back which is
locked securely against the
print by wooden Stats which
pivot on copper rivets. These
frames may be taken down,
prints switched and rehung
in a matter of a few seconds
and are far and away the best
exhibition frames we have
seen. The wood is allowed to

This handsome study of a

itself. 1t is the writer's recol-

gull was projected from a
4x5-inch film that included a
number of gulls wheeling
about over the surface Of the
water. 1t was possible to pro-
ject the image Of this particu-
lar bird separately. The gull
was most gracefully poised in
such a manner as to reveal the
entire under surface of the
body, its extended wings and
retracted legs.
In the projection Of this

str,Q N M a

Property rights of married wo-
men in this state are protected by
the so-called community property
law.
The law is based on recognition
of the married woman as an indivi-
dual personality. and that most pro-
perty acquired by the spouses dur
ing marriage is actually due to a
Joint contribution of both husband
and wife
Once these principles are accept
ed it follows that neither the hus-
band nor wife has a superior posi-
ton in regard to their community
property, which is generally the
property acquired after marriage as
result of the labor of either hus-
band or wife or both Consequent
ly, neither party can give away the
community property against the
wishes of the other spouse.
. Wife's Approval Needed
Someone has to manage the pro-
perty. so by statute the husband is
made the manager. but like the ma
mayer of business, he merely ma
nages, not owns Ordinarily the
husband cannot deed or mortgage
the real property unless the wife
joins but he can sell their personal
property without her consent.
Only eight states. all of them in
the west or south are community
property states The system is of
Germanic origin, from where it
spread to Spain and from there to
Mexico and some southwestern
states Washington adopted the
system, probably from the early Ca
lifornia code.
