HOWARD LAW SCHOOL RAISES STANDARDS. Washington, D. C.—The Howard University Law School began its first year under Dean Mason N. Richardson, who was elected last spring upon the resignation of the late Dean Benjamin F. Leighton, with the formal opening Saturday night, October 1, at which time announcement was made of the enlarged program of instruction and the raising of standards looking to the placing of the Howard University Law School in rank with the great law colleges of America. At the opening, Dr. J. Stanley Durke, president of the university, addressed the body of students and the large number of Alumni of the Law School upon the subject of "Life and Law." "Work-Immortality rather than self-Immortality," was the idiom of life which he urged upon the students. He impressed upon them the possibilities of life manifesting its greatness through work consummated under the benign influence of law. Prof. Andrew Wilson, who presided in the place of Dean Richardson who was absent due to illness, announced the enlarged program that would mark the work of the new school year. He invited attention to the additions to the faculty, the recating of the curriculum along lines approved by the Association of American Law Schools, and made special reference to the reorganization of the Moot Court in which the work this year will be more important than it has ever been. Following the announcements by the acting Dean, the professors who were present offered in turn a brief word as to their special subjects. A feature thoroughly enjoyed was the rendition of two violin solos by Miss Clementine Hart, daughter of Prof. W.H.T. Hart, of the faculty. Many improvements have been THE BROAD AX 35th street and Grand boulevard. Phone, Douglas 4013. The Fort Dearborn Hospital is a worthy institution and the efforts to raise money for its support will not slacken until it is placed on the map in first class shape or anchored on a solid foundation. This coming Tuesday evening, October 18, another great mass meeting will be held at the Wendell Phillips High School, 39th street and Prairie avenue, in the interest of the Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses. made in the Law School, both in the raising of the standards of the school and of the physical structure of the building. The raising of the academic standards for admission calls for an accurate system of checking up the claims of applicants and of keeping their records after they have been allowed to register. No applicant can enter the Schools of Law now unless he can show a transcript of four years of accredited secondary work or its equivalent as measured in Carnegie units. In 1924, the requirement will be two years of standard collegiate training. During the summer a complete new heating system has been installed under the direction of the secretary-treasurer of the University. In the place of the old gas lights bright; new electric lights hang from the ceilings in all the rooms, while new sanitary arrangements on all floors and in the basement are provided. For the office of the secretary new furniture has been provided. It was hoped that the planned construction of a new story to the Law School building to provide for additional classrooms would have been completed during the past summer, but on account of the contractors not being able to finish the work by the opening of the school year this improvement has been postponed until the coming summer. Thus, the Howard University Law School, already secure in its title to a place among the A-No.1 law schools of the country, has boldly announced its intention to move on to a seat in the front row of the assemblage of legal learning. Mr. Frank Hoover of Middleton, Wis., master of Capital City Lodge of Madison, Wis., attended the Grand Lodge. He is a business man of that city, owning and conducting one of the best restaurants in that part of the country, known as the Middleton Motor Club. While here he met many of his old friends.

Hampton, Va.-White and colored women in Virginia, as well as in other Southern states, are so much in earnest about doing the right thing that they are able to speak frankly to each other concerning their common problems. The recent fourteenth annual meeting of the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, presided over by Superintendent Janie Porter Barrett of the Virginia Industrial School for Colored Girls, which was held in Lexington, laid special stress on the value of interracial co-operation. President Barrett, who has served the Federation in this capacity from the beginning, said: "The interracial movement being launched in different States is most important. There will never be a time when goodwill between the races will be more needed than now, and I know of no group in a better position to stand by that movement than you women of the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. I feel that I can count on you to throw your whole strength with this movement. "You and I have learned from experience how much can be accomplished by white and colored people trusting each other and working together. The Virginia Industrial School is an example. Neither the white nor the colored women could have done that piece of work alone, but together we have done work which is acceptable to the community, the State and the country. "You and I' are in a position to speak for the sincerity and the loyalty of some of the white men and women who are as anxious as we are to right wrongs, for we have tested them. We can never stand by and hear white people denounced as a whole because of the wrongdoings of some, without telling of those we know in the North and in the South who are working unceasingly for justice and fair-play for all." White and colored men and women spoke before the Federation women who are trying to get a common platform upon which the churches and clubs can work to develop community programs. Virginia citizens, both white and colored, through this Lexington meeting, had their attention directed to some serious problems in child-training and health conservation. The Federation, on invitation, visited the Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University. THE NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS OF THE PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB.

Recently “the members of Royal Eagle Court No. 44 royally celebrated its first anniversary of one year, al- though Royal Eagle Court No. 44 is next to the baby court in’ Chicago, Royal Eagle has the largest member- ship and the largest treasury, and also has a host of true friends. This is largely due to the popularity of the Ancient Matron, Sister Daisy Car- thell, who manages so successfully. And every member loves her and is ready and willing to help her at any time. The Royalty of the Heroines in all of their splendor was present with velvet robes and golden crowns. ‘The magnificence of it was dazzling to all.

Thompson to attend the In- ternational gathering at New York to represent them they sent a man who ‘stood out in bold relief by way of representation of the people who sent him. We gather from the press re- ports and-from private sources that at no time during the session would he be denied. In the face of opposi- tion from those who would cover up Mr. Thompson bored right into such ‘an extent that he became one of the real figures of the Convention. © The timorous delegates who would hesi- tate to speak found in Col. Thomp- son an advocate worthy of his stcel. Some of, the blind enthusiasts might think daggers at Col. Thompson but no one can deny that he has faith- fully performed the duty which he was sent to care for. His insistence for business methods for this great organization should be most helpful indeed, and in faet, he should have been elected to sce to it that the fi- nances were correctly applied. The way to make the great movement sound and sceure is to place all the safe guards possible around its finan- ces. Mr. Thompson, it seems, forced the publication of the financial report and on the strength of that fight lacked only a few votes of being elected to the office of Yice-Presi- dent. He reaffirms his faith in the movement, but advocates a radical change in its business methods and for the local division to stand intact for the great principles of the U.N. 1.

Mrs. Lou Ella Young, 3556 Giles ave, is preparing to make a long visit with friends through southern Illinois as well as East St. Louis, and St Louis, Mo. Mrs. Young will leave in a few days. \ Among the Chicago delegates on Tuesday were Mr. J. W. Moore, Hor- ace Cooper, R. J. B. Ellington, W. D.

FRILLS OF FASHION When it comes to suits we find satin and canteau occupying the first attention of the Parisian designers. These frocks are made on redingote lines. A smart method of applying a flower to a hat is to put a big one on the very edge of a wide brim, fastening it securely and pulling some of the pearls over, some under the brim. Flowers of silver tissue give an interesting note to a black lace evening frock. They are sold as corsage flowers, and may be used to give a lit of freshness to a frock that is n use. Some of the most effective of the redingote dresses are carried out in dark taffeta over an organdle foundation. A charming model of this kind had wide cuffs, huge collar and foundation of pale gray organdle, while the redingote itself was made of dark blue taffeta. The kimono sleeve is now more than ever in favor. But the 1921 kimono wishes a new interpretation of its own style, and, instead of being exceedingly wide under the arm, is quite snug. Quite a hard task for the home dressmaker, but decidedly chic and stylish. Capes are made of oblongs of silk fabrics of some sort, bordered along one long and two short edges with fringe as wide as the cape itself. This is really a cross between a cape and a scarf, for it is wrapped about the shoulders, one long, unfringed edge at the neck and folded across the chest. A smart cape of this sort is made of black tricot, lined with gray chiffon, and with heavy gray silk fringe. Profitable Eggshells In no instance are the shells of the eggs used by the Italian vendors of ice cream sold in the London streets broken. They are placed at each end and blown by the mouth the perfect shells being sold to the proprietors of shooting galleries. 1 [Name] HON.

Gross tonnage is obtained by dividing the whole cubical capacity of a ship by 100, that many English cubic feet representing a ton. Net tonnage is the gross tonnage less deduction for machinery, crew and other spaces not used for passengers or cargo. Deadweight tonnage or tonnage capacity is the number of tons which can be carried in the holds when the vessel is charged to the load-water line. Displacement tonnage used with reference to warships is the actual weight of sea water displaced by the vessel when charged with all its weight to the load-water line. Shell-Cracking Bird. Certain species of birds which inhabit eastern Africa possess the largest and strongest beaks known to ornithologist. One of these is the open-bell or shelf ibis. It is a long-legged, stork-like bird, which has a beak like a nutcracker. The parts of the bill cannot be closed in the middle. It eats frogs and fishes, but its favorite food is fresh water molluscs, the shells of which it can crush with the powerful beak. And He Meant So Well I was escorting two girl friends home from a dance one night, when we noticed a wide-open window in a house we were passing. Thinking to avert a possible burglary, I stuck my head inside and shouted, "Say, good people." But that was as far as I got, for a bucketful of water struck me full in the face and a furious female voice shouted, "I told you what you'd get if you didn't get home before ten!"—Chicago Journal! Arrow Deadly as Bullet. A mounted Indian or white man with bow and arrows sometimes could kill more buffaloes than a man could kill with a rifle, says the American Forestry Magazine. At close range the arrow was as deadly as the bullet, it made less noise, and arrows could be discharged three or four times as rapidly as bullets from muzzle-loading guns. 1910 the 14th Ward; Who Is Very Popents and Who Is Being Urged By Enter the Race for One of the it in 1922. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1921 LOW SQUARE HEEL New Note in Stylish Footwear for the Street. Young Girls Are Wearing This Model for Dancing, in Satin to Match Gowns. A new note in footwear is a low square leather heel for street wear, which big city shops report as a "best seller." This fashion is said to be inspired by the low-heeled slippers worn in a successful musical comedy. The young girls are wearing the low-heeled model for dancing, in satin to match their gowns; a touch of the Victorian, in harmony with wider and beruffed skirts. The favorite for street wear seems to be this low-heeled model in patent leather. The fringed tongue, which originally was used only on brogues, has been adopted for afternoon and evening wear. White kid oxford with French heels are shown with the fringed tongue, and the latest adaptation is seen in a black satin slipper with a solid black satin piece, the ends of which are fringed with cut steel beads. These are items that are well to remember when one is shopping for one's midsummer and fall footwear. There has been a new feature in the decoration of hand bags, in the use of the seed bead in the making of the solid beaded bag. But used with this is the large nailhead bead. From abroad come interesting ideas of the exploitation of the black and white vogue in the neckwear field for the coming season. Organdie is still the chief fabric medium, and touches of black are given by means of black organdie appliques usually in straight narrow bands as often as edging, and by chainstitch embroidery in black. Gauntlets continue to be in the glove field, these being shown in plain styles as well as in a wide range of fancies. Stiff cuff gauntlets being shown by some of the importers do not enjoy the same popularity as the soft cuff variety. NEW SHADE OF RED IN PARIS Name in Doubt, But May. Be "Pill" er "Pillar"—Cardinal With Dash of Pink. "Is it pill box or pillar box?" The question refers to the bright red shade that is being much exploited. Pillar box is correct volunteers a writer in Women's Wear, although the shorter term, probably a corruption of the original, is frequently heard. The Parisians are in doubt. Over there they ask whether the Americans used a pill box of characteristic red shade, evidently believing that the word had its origin here. The term "pillar box red" is said to have been coloned by an American silk buyer, named for the post boxes of Paris, which are not the vermilion red that we sometimes see on iron in this country. "Cardinal with a dash of pink" seems to be a fair description of this very bright red shade, although the pill or pillar box red that is used in millinery is said to have just a hint of the fuchsia tone in it. This exquisite new red—which is neither cerulea nor flame, but something of both—is the newest color to which Paris gives her favor. Overhaze Economy Rubbers wear out more quickly at the heels than in any other parts. To prevent this, cut heavy cardboard to exactly fit the heel and place them there when the rubber is new. You will be surprised to find how much longer the rubber will last. Taffeta The taffeta evening freck with the taffeta wrap to match is worn much by young women this season. One finds the skirts of the frocks quite full and not too short, capiline sleeves and a touch of ribbon flower somewhere. VELVET HATS IN LIMELIGHT First of the Splendid Rich Fabric Now Making its Appearance in Paris. Plain materials are having a great vogue and the only dressmaker of any importance in Paris who dares to use prints to any extent is Paul Poiret. He uses most extraordinary patterns in dress silks, the designs seemingly more suited to a carpet than to a dress. The first velvet hats are beginning to make their appearance. Reboux is having success with hunter's green velvet hats trimmed with a natural coque, all in the burnished green effect. Reboux also is using a sort of triple crepe for covering large sailor shapes. This crepe is fluted to cover the brim and there is only the simplest of ribbon band trimming. Everything to match is an important note in present Paris fashions. The crepe de chine dress is often accompanied by a hat trimmed with the same material. And it is not unusual to see hat, cape and dress all of the one material. ```markdown ``` A well-combed head of hair always lends itself to a charming collage. It makes but little difference whether one has a natural wave, a permanent wave or straight locks, if they are well combed they can be dressed to enhance the charm of any woman. Force of Gravity. Force of gravity varies according to height above sea level and distance from the equator. As the force of gravity is 82.1612 feet a second in New York, 82.1528 feet a second in San Francisco and 82.1184 in Key West, an object would weigh most in New York and least in Florida. CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAMPING OR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, IS STILL WENDING HIS WAY THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST. Oklahoma City, Okla.—"Is President Harding going to do the right thing by us?" "Damino!" are the question and answer you hear daily, and I am not prepared to say. It will soon be a year since he was elected president of the United States, and we all rolled up our sleeves and went to work for him. I wrote, I spoke and I prayed, and then I was ready to lay aside my religion long enough to do the other thing if it became necessary. You all know the results from last November, and now I am not any more in a hurry than he was, but I would like to be knowing something. It takes a man, and a real man at that to be president of the United States, and I am praying that our President stand in the shoes of a man, and has on his top the real man. There are a few office seekers from the South, as full of race prejudice as hades is full of fire. They want the offices to be dished out by the Republican party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, but they are unwilling to sit in a convention with black men, and the Democrats declare they do not want him in their conventions or party, and the question comes now "To whom shall we go?" I mean if President Harding and his party should turn us down. I have talked with Hon. Chas. Cottrell, and he says the President is in all the right thing, and I will just say "God grant it" and keep my mouth closed and my pen still a little while longer, and if he turns us down we will be in a heluva fix, and you must not tell my pastor that I told you this for he will turn me out of church. I want to get to heaven when I die and have my funeral preached in a Baptist church. Since I wrote to you the last time I have been trying to serve the Lord. I have been to Chicago, and had the pleasure of meeting the people at Quinn Chapel, and they gave me a royal reception the first Sunday morning in October. They were out in large numbers, and I tried to bring to them the Word, the message from Heaven. Dr. H, E. Stewart, is indeed a fine and deserving man, and is doing a great work in Quinn Chapel. I want to congratulate Bishop Coppin for sending him there. He had an eye to the best interest of the church. It is one of the best churches in Chicago, and our people built it from the ground up. Wonderful indeed the work we have done. I have been invited by Dr. D. W. Cook, to speak for his people when I am in Chicago, and I think I will let him know when I am going to be there, because I am sure that I will meet some of my friends who would like to hear me, for I have been informed that some of the officials of Bethel have declared that they did not want me in their pulpit, and I have wiped my feet, and declared that I will stay out. Rev. S. L. Birt is struggling and trying to reach the people and do the right thing. I hope they will rally to him, and that he will be able to erect that fine church which the congregation needs. Bethel has had a hard lick, and we want it to come back to where it was some time ago. There is no reason why it should not. The people are there, and the strong pastor must reach out and get them, not by force, but by the word of God. I am sure that with Jesus there, success is assured, and without Him nothing but failure. But why take up time in this direction? I had the pleasure of going out to Hope Presbyterian church. I did not know anything about this church. I knew that the Rev. W. Edward Williams was in Chicago, but I did not know that he was doing such a work in the city. He has a great following of young people, and I here feel to congratulate him. It is a practical church and practical people. They are getting out a magazine known as Hope Presbyterian, and it is a literary gem, brim full of information. Sunday night I made it over to the Chicago & Alton, got in a bed car, RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY MAJOR R. R. JACKSON. Whereas, it is customary for the Third Ward Regular Republican Organization to espouse by endorsement, action and unstinted support, a candidate for Congress, representing the 1st Congressional District, and Whereas Congressman Madden has by his intelligence, diplomacy and intimate knowledge of state, municipal and national affairs, reflected the highest degree of credit upon this organization and rendered a stewardship for which no apologies have to be made, and Whereas, his vigorous support of all matters arising in Congress, which reflected the policies and principles of went to sleep and do not know when we left Chicago, nor do I know anything else until we were nearing St. Louis, and in there I went to see about Prof. Aaron E. Malone, the wizard, and found that he is improving. His wife was as usual right by his side, and the nurse was also there, and the nurse told me that he was "convolating," or something like that. She meant to say he was getting better or well, so Editor Murphy of the Afro-American, Baltimore, told me, for Murphy was right there by his side. I was surprised to meet this veteran newspaper man, and I asked him for a few points in writing, and he told me. You will recall when I left the farm to become a writer, and while my salary has been small, and I have been hungry at times, and rent has gone unpaid until I could catch up, yet I have been pegging away, and getting a little better hold. It is just the same old struggle in life, and the editor continues to send me a check and uses my writing, I am going to continue to try my hand, although I do not know what I am going to do this winter. I will not cross the bridge before I get to it. From St. Louis, I found my way to Kansas City, going to the Wheatley hospital for a few minutes and then to the home of the Rev. Dr. W. T. Osborn, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. church. He received me with open arms, and told me to be right at home, and his wife prepared one more royal meal for me. This is how I spent the day. I got in company with the Rev. D. Dawson, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, and he toted me around to see friends. Over to see Mrs. Norene Davis, where we had some fine corn cakes. When it was time for him to go home, then I got myself together and beat it to Atchison where the Baptists were holding their session, and where I was received with open arms by the Rev. C. R. Tucker, who is destined to be one of the Bishops of the A. M. E. church, who has left Oklahoma and gone to that place with Bishop Parks. He is doing great work there and making new friends. I was delighted to see this young son of thunder and spiritual preacher, and to see his large congregation. I met all the Kerfords except Lloyd and he had gone to get him a wife. God bless him, and may they live long. I have spoken of the Kerfords, but perhaps you do not know them. They form the firm of George W. Kerford Quarry Company, and you will find them in Duns. The firm is George W., Lloyd, Clarence Kerford and the mother of them a silent member of the firm. The father started the business, educated his boys and died, and with his trained sons, with practical education, they took hold making improvements until it is a wonderful business bringing in upwards of $20,000 every month, and the boys work together like the works in a well regulated clock or watch. We are making wonderful progress in this world of ours. I beat it to Leavenworth, then to Kansas City, and from there right on down to see Dr. H. W. Conrad to talk to him about the worms. You see Dr. George C. Hall and Dr. H. W. Conrad have waged war against worms, bugs or anything else that would attempt to take my life. They want me to remain a little longer. Dr. Hall is a wonderful man, and he has something which he is going to give to the world, soon, and I hope you will enjoy it. He is going to make places for thousands of our young women. He has not authorized me to tell you yet, but just as soon as he tells me I can tell what he told me, I will let you have it in full. I have been taking lessons so I may tell you all about it. I am still taking the medicine he gave me, and it is meeting with success. I will be through Chicago, for I have been invited to Wheeling, West Virginia and will go there. CHARLES E. STUMP. the Republican Party, has in the highest degree voiced, the wishes of his constituents, and Whereas, his entire private and public life has been one of loyalty, devotion to duty and for the uplift of suffering humanity, therefore. Be it resolved, that the regular Third Ward Republican Organization, in meeting assembled, do hereby endorse Congressman Martin B. Madden for nomination at the Primary in 1922, to succeed himself, and pledge its unqualified support by all honorable means to insure his re-nomination and election.

St. Swithin Myth Disproved. A record was kept from 1840 for twenty years for the purpose of testing the truth of the popular belief that if rain fell on St. Swithin's day it would rain for forty days after. The result of this test shows that the greatest number of rainy days had occurred in these two decades in years when St. Swithin's day was dry. Indian Name of Quaint Old City. The Indians called a strait "Kebec" and the name was given to the site of the present city of Quebec from the peculiar configuration of the St. Lawrence river at that point, for the river there grows narrow and from its deep waters rises the bold height on which the ancient city stands. The French-Canadian still pronounces the name Kebec. Anything to Please. Adv. Wanted—Girl for general housework, any old kind; family of three adults.

Geraniums should be kept moist, but should not be given too much water at a time. They need a sunny window. The plants should be kept in a fairly even temperature, and it should be borne in mind that they must have plenty of air, for they won't thrive in a "stuff" room. Light and sun are necessary for all plants, and there is always more danger of getting too little than too much.

Forest Fire Spread Delays During the occurrence of great forest fires in Idaho, in August, 1910, the smoke was carried over the whole of the northern United States and southern Canada and far over the oceans. It was observed 500 miles from land. These fires caused "dark days" over a greater area than in any other case on record in this country. Few Insects Harmful to Man. Relatively speaking, very few species of insects are harmful in any way to man and his works. The injurious species amount to less than 1 per cent of the whole. On the other hand, a great many species are beneficial to mankind. Pollination of crops like clover would be impossible without insect visitations, and the same is true of many garden flowers and important fruits. English Poetry and Prose. If there is anything in literature as wonderful as English poetry it is English prose. Like the twin pillars of a mighty temple stand those two great books, the Bible of 1611, the Shakespeare of 1622, and no other country can show their equal—George Sampson. Olive Oil in Babies' Diet. Dr. E. E. Graham of Philadelphia recommends the addition of olive oil to the diet of babies in their first two years. It is ingested well by most infants and supplies them with additional fat.

We knew there was something wrong with the blamed thing—Boston Transcript. J. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1921. Left to Peta Some animals fare very well as beneficiaries under wills. It was a Parisian woman, a few years ago, who left 10,000 francs to her cat. On the death the money was to be spent on elementary schools. The feline has since died and the money distributed according to directions. In numerous instances fortunes have been left to found homes for cats and dogs. Sometimes these wills have been dictated by love of animals, while in others alas, they have been written merely for the purpose of "getting even" with grasping relatives. Regiment Proud of Long Service. The Third infantry, the oldest regiment of our army, which dates from 1784, has developed its arms to show its early service in Mexico. One interesting device used by this regiment is a baton crossed with an oldtime bayonet back of the shield. The baton which figures prominently in the regiment's history was made from the flagstaff of the capitol of the City of Mexico and was taken when the city was captured. It is still one of the most highly prized possessions of the regiment. Had No Rights at All. Paul and Anthony own a wagon in partnership. Sometimes Paul exerts a little more authority than is pleasing to Anthony. On one of these occasions Anthony sought his mother and, after yelling his troubles, added: "Mother, Paul treats me like the ugly sisters treated Cinderella." Indians Have Curious Numeration. The Indians of Gulana have a curious system of numeration. They count by the hand and its four fingers. Thus, when they reach five, instead of saying so, they call it a "hand." Six is therefore a "hand and first finger"; seven, a "hand and second finger." Ten is "two hands." But 20, instead of being "four hands," is a "man." Forty is "two men," and thus they go on by twenties. Forty-six is expressed as "two men, a hand and first finger." Electricity and Chinese Demona. Word has come from Shanghai that employees of the China Electric company recently called in a native priest to drive away the demon in an electric buzz saw which had cut off two of the operator's fingers. After the ceremony the workmen returned to their tasks contentedly. The manager of the plant felt that, despite the superstition displayed, these Chinese workmen were accepting electricity in their own way—North American. "Crenuscular" Sun Rays The beams of light sometimes seen radiating from the sun when not far from the horizon are called "crepuscular rays." They are due to rays of light passing through breaks in the clouds and made visible by dust or fine drops of water in the air. Their apparent divergence is an effect of perspective. The phenomenon is popularly described as "the sun drawing water"; sailors speak of the "sun's backstays," while Homer wrote of the "rosy-fingered dawn." Her Probable Intention Wright had been sent to the bank with his weekly amount, and when he returned he did not have his book. His mother asked him where it was. After quite a little hesitation he confided to her in a whisper, "Well, mother, the girl took it and kept it. I think she wanted to weigh it." Invaluable Coating for Tubes In the process of J. Marcusson, a resinous coating is given tubes or hollow bodies of cement, concrete or mortar by action of formaldehyde on phenols or other like compounds. The coating gradually becomes insoluble on exposure to air, and is thus given resistance to the action of mineral or fatty oils. Spread of Bathing In Europe Bathing came to Europe as one of the good results of the Crusades. The Knights of the Cross found baths in general use among the Saracens, and seeing what good things they were, on returning from those wars took the initiative for their introduction. In this they were highly successful first in England and from that to other countries. So popular did the bath become that it became customary to have one before ceremonies such as marriage or knighthood, and the people have been ever since learning the value of keeping their skins clean.

In rooms where the floor is not covered with a soft carpet the moving of chairs is often the cause of a good deal of noise. The trouble may be remedied in this way: From thick felt cut small rounds to glue on to the feet of the chairs. These can be secured from an old hat or cut from an odd piece of floor covering. The chairs can then be moved about quietly even on the hardest floors.
