League OF Nations Day

Remarkable Interest Is Shown In
Nation Wide Celebration

More than 4,000 cities, towns and
villages from Halifax to Vancouver
took part in celebrating League of
Nations Day throughout Canada
this month. Committees were active-
ly at work in larger and smaller cen-
tres for many weeks on the details
of the big undertaking, the most
prominent and influential citizens be-
ing only too glad to help in the or-
fanization.

Church, state and “society were
heart and soul behind this big effort
in all cities and towns and through-
out the countryside. One remarkable
feature of the occasion was the
prominence given to it by religious
bodies. Protestant and Roman Cath:

brunette obtained $5,000 in a lone
hold-up of the Colorado State Bank

A very gratifying feature of the

Plaster Need Painting

It is seldom one sees a cement,
concrete, stucco, plaster or brick
surface painted. It seems to be the
general asumption that these sub-
stances are amply able to protect
themselves from weather and other
destructive conditions.

But that is a mistake. It is well
known that cement is a moisture ab-
sorbent, and it isn’t true that the
moisture does not harm it. It is al-
most as important to prevent rain
from penetrating the surface of these
rough mineral outsides as it is to
protect wood and fron from rain.

But just any kind of paint will not
do. It must be a special cement paint
having a chemical composition not
affected adversely by lime or alka-
lies.

It is important that owners of

and uring
buildings, grain elevators, residences,
garages, silos, etc., with absorbent
outside surfaces, should realize the
advantages of painting them—that
they will last longer, look better and
need fewer repairs after being so
treated.

A Wonderful Discovery

most every day it happens. “Hap-

word to use, however, for it is dis-
covered that such “accidents” (an-
other wrong descriptive word), are
usually the result of want of com-
mon horse sense.

Anybody should know ‘that to
place highly inflammable substances
like turpentine and benzine by a hot
or even warm stove is more than
likely to cause an explosion. “She
was heating a pot of varnish on the

Electric Death-Ray

An invisible electric death-ray has
been discovered by a German physi-
cist. The apparatus is fitted with
valves like those used in an ordinary
radio set, of so small a size that it
will fit .in a cigar box, with which he
could send out ultra-short waves of
@ Jength less than three metres.

These waves will kill instantan-
eously germs, insects, and even small
animals which come within their
reach.

“My assistant and I,” said the in-
yentor, “are now engaged in perfect-
ing the apparatus.

“Our death wave is not dangerous
to living beings apart from those
which come within its carefully lim-
ited sphere of action. Flies and in-

"|sects which pass across this. field

drop dead. Mice are killed in a few
seconds. Rats are dead within three
to five minutes.

“If we succeed in perfecting our
apparatus we shall be in a position.
without in any way injuring the tis-
sue of the human body, to kill dis-
case-causing bacteria within the hu-
man body.”

Building Up Flying Tradition
Canadian Aviators At Northern Out-
posts Are Making History

Some of the most heroic chapters
in Canadian history have been
written this winter by the little band
of flying men who hold their aero-
planes in readineess at the outposts
of the north. It is this unexpected
and unpremeditated use of the com-
mercial aeroplanes which has not
only exalted the pilots to dizzy
heights in the hearts and imagina-~
tions of the people, but has secured
for the business of aerial navigation
a solid friendship which must con-
tinue to grow with the passage of
time. There is being built up in
northern Canada a flying tradition
comparable on more than even terms
to the British tradition of the seas or
the record of the old Mounted Police.

“aw, what's the use o’ studying all
this stuff?” will not arouse a vague
query of what indeed, is the use, in
the mind of his elders. In the case
of history, at least, results will be ex-
tremely practical, as well as merely
disciplining the mind—and keeping
the same small boy out of mischiet
during certain hours of the day.

Since history was first recorded,
nations have risen and fallen. They
have risen when they have ob-
served certain laws of growth, and
they have fallen when they have dis-
carded them. Over and over again,
in dizzy succession, wars haye ap-
peared, provoked by the same causes
and preceded by the same lines that
characterized the guild system of the
Middle Ages. In spite of tremendous
contributions to knowledge that are
constantly being made; history con-
tinues placidly and irrestibility to re-
peat itself, with the same successes
and the same mistakes.

There must be certain elements
of worth in these historical move-
ments or they would not be recur-
ring again and again. There must
be dangeer signals on the paths that
lead to disaster. The statesman must
be quick to recognize both in a care-
ful study of history, and hasten to
apply them to the problems of the
day in an eminently practical way.
Then there will be no question as to
why history is studied.

When applying Shellac to knols
and sappy places, do not apply it in
100 heavy a condition. Apply it thin
and brush well into the knots and
other places that require shellac.

It is quite common to s¢e painters
spreading shellac, not only over
knots, but two or three inches be-
yond. This is bad practice and should
be avoided, Use a small sash-tool for
knotting and confine the shellac to
the surface of the knot,

On woodwork that is to be finish-
ed in white, or in any light shade,
use white shellac for the knots.

Before priming a surface be sure
that it is thoroughly dry and in pro-
per condition to receive paint.

When painting, always have &
clean rag to keep the hands clean
and remove spots from windows,
hardware fittings, etc.

A small quantity of raw linseed
oi] rubbed over the hands before
commencing work will prevent the
paint drying hard on the skin and
make it easier to wash off,

Do not use a cheap primer. It
may be cheap as to first cost, but it
wil Ibe costliest in the end.

Avoid using dry colors mixed by
hand, for priming coats. Dry colors
cannot be thoroughly incorporated
with oil without the aid of machin-
ery. A hand-mixed paint made from
dry colors will invariably peel, be-
cause only the outer particles of the
pigment are properly soaked with
the oil, and when this oil is absorb-
ed by the new wood there is left only
a dry, porous coating, which will
peel away from the surface as soon
as the finishing coats start to con-
tract in drying.

It is far more economical to ap-
ply one well rubbed out coat of floor
pint to verandah and steps once a
year, than it is to defer the ,ob for
two or three years, and be under the
necessity of applying two or three
heavy costs.

With the once-a-year “lick” the
perch will look fresh all the time,
and be easy to wash sind keep clean
but with the “wenr-it-down to the
boards” policy it will Jook shabby
and down-at-the-heel most of the time.
More than that, the verandah that is
painted every year will consuine less
piint by far than the one jtnat is
painted only once in three years.

The Cost Of Chirdbion

ert Hafield, on “The Corrosion of
Ferrous Metals,” the startling state-
ment was made that, according to his
estimates, 29,000,000 tons of steel
were lost by rusting in 1920. At zu
pounds a ton this would represent
for the year the huge bill of 580,00v,-

Pictures and Mirror:
Give Finishing Touch

Pictures serve an admirable pur-
pose in the decoration and furnishing
of the small home.

By the very nature of their loca-
tion on the wall they occupy none of
the floor space that is 50 valuable in
the small dwelling. If a little room
has been rather crowded with furnl-
ture, pictures on the wall carry the
eye upward and bring the attention
from the lower part of the room to
the upper, where there is a greater
appearance of space.

Then, too, the subjects of the pic-
tures may be chosen with a view to
increasing the apparent size of the
room. Pictures with a rather deep
perspective give the eye a fecling ot
looking into the scene, down a corri-
dor, into a valley, along a river, or
otherwise creating an appearance of
distance,

To do this remoyes much of tho
cramped feeling that invades a small
room overcrowded with furniture.

The choice of color in pictures also
will haye much to do with the
decorative scheme of the room, and
the same effect of spaciousness can
be created with the judicious use of
rairrors.

Home Decorations

A little money goes a long way in
furnishing a home if it is wisely
spent. A plain painted waljl in a
light, pleasant color, or light-color-
ed or neatly patterned pa-

the corrosion. These figures refer tu
the whole world, but, as the “Elec-
triéal Review” pointed out, the major
part, say 450,000,000 pounds woulda
probably have to be debited to the
British Empire, a sum equal to near-
ly half our total war indebtedness to
the United States,

Clean Up Every Yard

The pupils of the schools should be
thoroughly sold on the idea that they
have a definite part in the work of
cleaning up and painting up. Many a
father will reward his boy handsome-
ly for having the cleanest and neat-
est backyard in the neighborhood.

The girls will find a new delight in
putting the flower beds in order,
washing the woodwork, and other-
wise helping mother to make the en-
tire interior spick and span.

Every yard shoul& have the weeds
removed. The lawns should be mow-
ed and raked, the shrubbery pruned,
the hedges trimmed, and all rubbish
carried away or burned,

If there are any little depressions
in the yard which accumulate water,
fil] them up. A pool of stagnant wa-
ter a foot square can easily give
birth to a swarm of fever carrying
mosquitoes.

wee community cleaning that lasts
requires the paint brush even more
thao the scrub brush. Walls and oth-
er surfaces which are properly paint-
ed, enameled or varnished, are wash-
able. They are easier to keep clean.

Good paint and varnish reduce the
labor of keeping clean, promote
health, inspire pride of ownership,
multiply the joys of living and in-
crease property values. There is no
better time to paint up than when
you are cleaning up, and there's little
hope of keeping your premises
cleaned up unless they're painted up.
