Lacquer s of our heri from ancient China. Yet for 300 the material has been familiar in F Tand Ruying lacquered furniture requires ot only some experience in distin- wishing the fine old work from its modern_ imitations, but should be re- inforced with knowledge of the process of lacquering itself. 1 acquer is not just & peculiar form nish or iage paint, as some thought. It isn't really a paint but a sort of resinous gum, the a tree, which has the peculiar property of being almost immune to temperature, weather conditions and hard usage. Tt is extremely durable n texture and much stronger than #ny known manufactured varnish. Real lacquer is usually applied only to wood which has been thoroughly treated to prevent warping or shrink- ing underneath. The color of lacquer is usually either black or red.

The coat is lined with silk to match the scarf. If you make your own clothes, this is a trick worth re- membering. Or if perchance you have a last year's Spring coat or ket to be relined, get the tailor to use some interesting plaid or’ strip- ed silk and get enough of it to make a scarf, Scarfs for Spring are of many B and shapes, Some are quite long. Some measure a full yard in width and are over a yard and a half in length. There are some scarfs a yard square edged with fringe. For evening wear many womnen are choosing the new scarfs of printed net, in tones to harmonize with the frocks with which they are worn. ' What Do You Know About It Daily Science Six. 1.

The modern housewife sees real gum lacquer chiefly on furniture, though in ancient times it was used on armor, sword scabbards, horse trappings, carriages, etc. Many varieties of lacquer may be genuine.

This fact depended upon the fact in physics that in a narrow strip of water like a canal the boat could not travel faster than the first forward wave of water caused by the motion of the boat, unless a vast amount of energy were expended pulling the boat. On the old Glasgow Canal. in 1830, and there- about, boats of light wrought iron, 60 feet long and only 6 feet wide, were constructed which were started at low speed. then suddenly jerked by the horses on the towpath to the top of the wave, which they continued to vide for the whole trip. * These boats were known as the fast passenger beats, and traveled at the incredible speed of eight miles an hour.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are adverse, and will continue so until sunset, when they change slightly for the better. During the day there will be sensed a feeling of pessimism, mor- bidness and general dissatisfaction. It would be well to restrain this line of thought as much as possible and to take careful stock not of what you do not possess but of that which you do possess. So much unhappiness is caused in this world by dwelling on things which we ought to have and by thinking too little of belongings and friends which we actually do en- joy. No speculation or risk should be indulged in, as the signs denote disas- trous results. It s also a bad day for traveling. In the evening there will be a measure of success attending any social or family reunions, s the signs. although not actually favorable, are benign. < Children born tomorrow will, so far as physical conditions go, he ah- normal duptmg infancy, although those whose alimentation is care- fully regulated will have the best chance of attaining normaley in later Years. In character a boy will be brusque. rather uncouth and with- out any of those pleasing manners which sometimes make children so attractive. He will, however, be frank. truthful and loyal, and these virtues will more than compensate for the lack of a polish which can be, and will be, acquired by experience and contact. A girl, on the other hand, will be rather retiring, but once her reserve is penetrated she will prove to be charming and intel ligent. She will very often give her thoughts no tongue, but she will be a great thinker and have an opinion, and an intelligent one at that, too, | on any subject that comes within her daily scope.

Many mothers have written of their personal experience and these are always helpful if only to show that what helps one child in con- quering the habit is of no avail with another: in fact, dirt eating is evidence of some abnormality, but the cause of the abnormality differs in different children. Here are some interesting ideas which by their very variety may clear up. the situation for other mothers. Dirt eating may be evidence of “hook worm.” Naturally, if one even suspected that the child might be infected with hook worm, it would be wasted energy to do anything until this condition had been treated medi- cally and through an improvement in the child's diet. Then one could cope with the dirt-eating habit, providing it arose from this cause. Another interesting theory is that it is caused by a lack of common salt. One mother says that after salting her boy's food much more liberally he entirely lost any craving for dirt. She cites the case of animals which will go many miles to get salt-bearing foods; seemingly caused by 'the same craving that perhaps drove this child to eat dirt. Another mother says her boy was cured when the doctor gave him medicine which contained an abun- dance of minerals. I believe the min- erals could best be administered in the form of whole grain cereals, vege- tables and fruit, plus plenty of fresh milk and eggs. Most of these theories turn in a mutton for boiling, cook with it halfa |carrot and a small onfon stuck with a | clove and use the pot liquor. thick- ened with barley, for lunch the next day.

When a child develops anv abnormal desire for food other than' the wholesome ones serv. ed him. one should change and cor- et his diet. 1o matter how: good one thinks TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 1926 FLAGSTAFFS OF WASHINGTON NY GIRTON WALKER.
