Oct. 7-14-21) ' Early Use of Mal^gany There exists today, preserved in the cathedral at Ciudad Trujillo, formerly Santo Domingo, a rough hewn mahogany cross inscribed: "This is the first sign planted in the center of this field, to mark the beginning of this magnificent temple in the year 1514." That inscription is the earliest record of the use of mahogany. The cathedral that houaes it, completed in 1940, is itself richly embellished with carved mahogany, some of which is considered the finest in the world, and is stfll in splendid condition after over four centuries in the tropics. First known European use of mahogany was for the chanting desk, choir stalls, shelves and desks in the great library of tne Escorial, begun by Philip II of Spa& ifi 1563 and completed in Pastel Dreseee Pastel dresses can be worn with bright blue, beige, tan, grey, red, green, black, and white, usually with purple or navy blue shoes, and sometimes with brown. Safest Playground Colors Beauty can take the beast out of potentially dangerous play equipment for children. Safety experts point to a recent study made by a paint manufacturing concern which shows that beautifying playground equipment also can serve to make it safer. Slides should be painted green, which counteracts excessive sunlight. Steps leading to the top of the slide should be yellow to draw the child's attention and mabe him more careful tftien climbing up. Youngsters are less likely to be struck by seats or rings of swings if seats ana rings are painted yellow, giving greater visibility. Green is best for, uprights and overhead bars. Fin Hazard in Sprayers Spraying of quick«drying lacquers, paints and similar finishes h the home has become a Common practice iand has created new home fire and **plosion hazards. These liquids £ve off vapors which aref^ flammable which, when mixed with air in proper proportions, form mixtures which are ready to ignite in the presence of a source of ignition' such as a lighted pipe, cigar, cigarette or a static spark. This hazard may be guarded against by adequate ventilation. However, the application of these quick-drying finishes, either by sprayers operated by hand or by those attached to vacuum sweepers, should be carried ee eut «< doors if possible. t "• Art tf Maklag WmI Kattni Tt SubrcriDe for Tne Plaindealer ilNrtiimwl Rom where 1 sit... 6y Joe Marsh. Get The Truth! Called on ay good friend "Cappy" Miller, who edits the County Bee, the other day. And hanging up on the wall of Cappy's office is this ikfin for his paper: V. "Remember there are wu sides . .ftp every question. Get both sides. Be truthful." \ A good slogan. not just for a 4_aewspaper--for people, too. Because there'll always be two sides |lo every question: the side of those vote one way, and those who another--the side of those enjoy, a temperate beverage like beer or ale, and of those who swear by nothing but cider. And from where I sit, once yorfVe got both sides--and faced then tnithfally, yoa realise that these differences of opinion are a precious part of what we call Democracy-- the right of the individual tp vote as he believes, to speak his mind, to choose his own beverage of moderation, whether beer or cider. Soap-Making at Home Not so many years ago all soap the family used was made at home. Soap making, like many of the common household duties of the past, has, for the most part, been taken out of the home. Today the process of soap making, once so familiar to. all housekeepers, is known to comparatively few. However, a considerable saving in the family budget could be effected by utilizing all scraps of fat and turning them into soap. Soaps for all purposes can be made in the home, even toilet soap. of Copyright, 1948, United States Brewers Foun+tfion Kensington Stone The famous "Kensington Stone Minnesota contains a message ostensibly written by a party of Vikings in 1362. It tells, in Norse characters, that a band of Swedish and Norwegian explorers, had reached what is now Minnesota and then had run into serious trouble, presumably with the Indians. The stone was discovered in 1898 near Kensington, Minn., by Olaf Ohman, a Swedish farmer.
