How to Waterproof a Tent Various methods of waterproofing canvas are used. The method which gives a green color is to soak the cloth Ilk an ammoniacal solution of copper, then lightly waxing it The plain wax process rubs paraffin wax into the i cloth either directly or by dissolving the wax in turpentine, a pound to a gallon. This makes the tent rather heavy and stiff and Increases its liability (to catch fire. Another way is to dissolve softIn hot water, adding £ solution oriron sulphate to precipitate the iron oxide as iron soap, then mixing this precipitate with linseed oil to form a waterproof coating.--Detroit News.

Nine towns and settlements bear that name, three of which are in the one county of Shelburne.' By JULIAN STREET Y DEAR Mrs. Plamondln: How kind, how Very kind of you to. ask me to your place in the country for the coming week-end! Your Invitation reached me a little more than two weeks ago, and I suppose I ought to have answered sooner. In fact I know I ought to have. But for reasons which I shall explain I have kept putting It off. # Having failed to answer promptly, I suppose I ought now to telegraph. In fact I know 1 ought to^ A telegram might ease matters quite a bit. I could say I had just got back from Europe and found ,your letter. But there s the rub! My dear old father, Fabian P. Otis, was always the soul of honor in spite of that troupe about his bank, and he taught me from infancy never to lie if there was a chance of my being found out. If I wired that I had been in Europe you might meet somebody who had seen me In the past fortnight, or you might have been in town yourself and caught sight of me somewhere--for though I am harder up than I ever thought a member of the Otis family could be, I have devised some little economies which enable me to get about as much s's'fever, and I still go to the best places. Father, I know* -would wish it so, for though he believed in thrift, he always said there was nothing too good for an Otis. You will probably remember that Just after the bank trouble, when father was being prosecuted, the papers used to say there was nothing too bad for an Otis, but that was mere hysteria, and the whole thing Is mostly forgotten already. Moreover I want to say (hat in spite of father's jail sentence it wasn't his fault about the bank. People came 1n and drew out money against father's advice, and after a while the money was gone, so what could father do but shot the doors? However, I hadn't meant to go into these matters. I was coming to the reason why I hadn't telegraphed you. That lias something to do with father, too. I wish you could know him, but of course he isn't getting around these days. He was such a fine man, Mrs. Plamondln. He did everything for his family, even when he bad to borrow money from his bank to do It. That's one of the things they blamed him for. Imagine! And yet at the same time, by a kind Of paradox in his nature, father always tried to teach us children thrift - I still have the copy books he gave iqe when I was learning to writes They are full of quaint old maxims of the pre-Braln Trust era which I had to copy in a careful spencerian hand--things like, "From saving comes having," (and "Economy is the parent of Integrity, of liberty and of ease." Of course we now realize that the people who wrote such maxims didn't know what they were talking about. Benjamin Franklin and Aesop are merely funny, and I was much interested to hekr, the other day, that there's going to be a new Brain Trust copy-book with maxims containing the b&t modern thought on economics, and that to symbolize the spirit of the age the writing will be backhand. My sister is grown up now and of course she doesn't wear pigtails. I don't think you've met her, and there's no chance of your meeting her for at least another year, even if she gets the full deduction for good behavior. In her case it was not the bank. Her trouble was that she had always been told there was nothing too good for an Otis, -so she went ahead on thpt basis and got into a kind of scrape. Well, what I was coming to Is this: that in spite of the fact that I still go to the best places, those old copy-book mnvims rirle ron a bit at times.

Sheldon, Gray slake off completely no matter how much you read the Washington dispatches. That's why I'm not telegraphing you. A stamp costs only three cents and the right sort of telegram would cost at least fifty. I have enough of father in me to realize that the differential is forty-seven cents. Not much money, you will say, and In a sense you are right. Yet even under present conditions, forty-seven cents is worth about thirty cents, and thirty cents will take care of the hat-check girl in one of the best places with a nickel to spare. I can remember just when I first thought of practicing little economies like this. Last year, after father left town, I decided to have his mattress made over, and what do you think I found, Mrs. Plamondin? Money, quite a bit of money. It was the money that made the mattress so hard. I decided to invest it, and so I went' downtown and called on one of fa-: ther's old banking friends who is still banking although scared to death, and asked him about Investments. raji: At first he wouldn't tell me anything. He kept trying to change the subject,' wanting to play tick-tack-toe and show me card tricks. When I kept asking him about Investments he said bankers weren't allowed to give advice about such matters. Bishops, bartenders, musicians and masseurs can give aj]_ the investment advice they want tft but my understanding is that bankers can be put In jail for doing such a thing. I told him I had come to him not as a banker but as a friend, so at last he sent his secretary out of the office, locked the door, pulled down the shades and whispered a tip. . And what do you suppose h« told me to buy, Mrs. Plamondin? He said to buy Chateau Latour 1929, or Cllquot 1923. I am passing the tip on to you, dear lady, because It comes from one of the most conservative and able bankers In the country, and It may repay you for any slight Inconvenience caused hy this tardy reply to your Invitation. Now as to Ihe Invitation, I am awfully sorry to say I shall not be coming to you for the week-end. I could easily pretend that 1 had a previous engagement, but I like you, Mrs. Plamondln-- I really do, in spite of yow painting your fingernails red--and I much prefer to be candid with those I like, red fingernails or no red fingernails. The plain truth is that I just don't want to come, Let me add, though, that this Is in no way your tyult. Why don't I want to come? Because of the way I'm made. Because your household is so well ordered. Because you like to have everything planned and running on schedule, and I don't So there you are, dear Mrs. Plamondin; and do ring me up some day when you're in town--not too early, mind---• and invite me to lunch. It is odd, now that I have made this simple statement of the case, to reflect on how I dreaded doing it. It really wasn't so difficult after all. Ah, how often life is l<Jke that How often we dread something we must do, only to find, when we do It, that it isn't really so bad. For two weeks your letter has been kicking around my desk, unanswered, among the bills, also unanswered-- another of my little economies. The longer it lay there the worse it looked. There's a cigarette hole burned in it, andit is all streaked and bulgy where someone used It as a mat for a wet glass. Is there anything more repellent, I ask you; than a rumpled, messy letter, with a cigarette hole in it, staring up at one and demanding to be answered? Now, thank heaven, I can tear it up!
