can add q scientific touch to
their Christmas fireside deco
rations In this guided missile
age.
For q few dollars worth Of
chemicals purchased at the
local drug store. you can
make your fireplace a con-
versation piece for your
amazed holiday guests.
Watch their faces light UP
when the log you've thrown
on the FIRE suddenly hlaxes
up In violet or emerald green
or even blue flames.
It takes q few days pre-
paration and exercise OF
ordinary caution in using the
chemicals. but it's worth the
effort.
Many Decorations
Some Of the decorations
into which you can put this
Christmas chemical magic
are pine cones. yule logs,
colored fire mixture and IRE
logs made from newspapers.
First Of all. select q place
In which to work that will be
inaccessible to the children
or any pets you have. Apply
the same rules you use in
keeping poisonous medicines
out Of the reach Of tiny
hands.
Then. select the containers
In which to mix the chem
icals--one for each chem
ical. Use crockery or wooden
containers. DO NOT put the
chemicals in metal utensils,
as some of them are corrosive
to metals.
To protect your hands, don
o pair Of household rubber
gloves.
The proportion in which
you mix them, according to a
spokesman for q leading
pharmaceutical house here,
will not harm the skin II you
accidentally come in contact
with the chemical but they
all have a drying effect. he
said.
Safest proportion to use Is
about one-hah pound Of
chemical 10 one-half gallon
Of water.
But remember, MIX EACH
CHEMICAL SEPARATELY.
The home is not the place to
try any fancy chemical labo-
ratory experiments. There
are enough chemicals you
can buy to produce each and
every color in the spectrum.
Here is the color guide:
Potassium chlorate, violet
flames; Strontium nitrate.
red: Potassium nitrate. yell
low: Copper nitrate. emerald
green: Lithium chloride, pur-
pie; Barium nitrate. apple
green: Borax. vivid green:
Calcium chloride. orange:
Copper sulphate, blue: Call
cium chloride table salt,
yellow: Copper chloride.
blue-green and Sodium chlo-
rate. yellow.
The easiest OF the decora-
tons to color are the pine
cones. Put a few cones in q
cheesecloth bag: dip into the
liquid (ehemical water, and
soak thoroughly. Drain well.
Spread out on thick layers
Of newspaper to dry. Cones
may take from three TO four
days to dry thoroughly.
A little more work is in
volved in coloring your yule
logs. but you'll be glad when
you throw them on the FIRE
on Christmas morning.
Select small logs. Paint
the log with a chemical solu-
tion Of two parts chemical
to five parts shellac: or the
log may be soaked in a solu-
ton Of one pound Of chem
ical TO one gallon Of water.
and then let dry for at least
4e hours.
Dry Naturally
AL objects dipped in the
chemical colorings should be
allowed to dry naturally in
q hot attic or storeroom. Keep
away from direct heat or a
tightly enclosed place such
as an oven. The CELEBRATES

Oyster Production
Dips in Maryland.
Price Sets Record

ANNAPOLIS. Aug. 16 (R.-
Maryland oyster production de-
clined last year, but watermen
got a better price for their
diminished supply of bivalves
than ever before.
Chairman John P. Tawes Of
the Tidewater Fisheries Com
mission reported yesterday that
oyster production for the fiscal
year ending June 80 was 1915
1913 bushels. a decline of $780,
70l bushels from the previous
year.
These figures are for taxed
oysters and do not include ex-
ports estimated at about l00,-
900 bushels each year.
Mr.. Tawes said oysters
brought an average Of $3.75
per bushel last year, a 50-cent
increase over the previous ALL

preceding year.

Potomac Flow
AT Minimum
.0fSewageP Plan

The flow Of the Potomac
River past Washington has
dropped to GAS million gallons
a day in the last few days be-
cause of the continuing drought,
according to District Sanitary
Engineer David v. Aud.
This is the minimum flow
engineers have been using to
design sewage disposal facilities
for this area.
If all the proposed disposal
systems were in operation a
drop below the 645 million
gallon daily flow would leave
the river unable to assimilate
effiuent from all the plants.
Mr.. Aud said that under
the present circumstances, how
ever. with the river already
being "choked to death" by
pollution, he was mot alarmed"
Dy the low now.
THE river is polluted right
now. and that won't be cor
rected until all the planned
disposal facilities are built" he
declared.
He acknowledged that the
river might turn septic in spots
with the low flow. but said no
water samples have been taken
so far which show a complete
depletion of oxygen. which is
one factor in pollution.
Bacteria counts, another poll
luton factor. have been un-
usually good recently. Mr.. Aud
reported. This is because in
dry weather there are no heavy
sewage overflows which occur
every time there is a heavy

Ask Drought Aid.
Stanley Advised

RICHMOND. Aug. is R.-
Gov. Stanley has been advised
to seek Federal drought dis
aster aid for the entire State
with particular emphasis on %
counties where farms were re-
ported in extremely critical
condition
The Virginia. United States
Department of Agriculture dis
aster committee recommended
that the Governor request a
three-point Federal relief plan
for the State.
Under this proposed plan,
farmers in the drought areas
would be assisted by the Gov
eminent by receiving a SOFA
ton discount on the purchase
OF feed grains for cattle.
The second step would have
the Farmers Home Administra-
ton open its low-interest credit
program to these drought
stricken farmers.
The third proposal was that
these farmers be permitted to
Craze their cattle on areas
placed in the soil bank. If such
permission is granted, the
farmers would have to pay Sc
an acre to the Federal Gov
eminent for all the land they
placed in the soil bank.
Committee members we're far
from optimistic that Federal
aid would be granted. They
pointed out that six other
States have been turned down
for Federal drought aid.
The counties named were
Amelia, Albemarle, Caroline.
Charlotte, Clarke, Cumberland.
Fairfax, Fauquier, Fluvanna.
Greene. Hanover, King will
