Beautiful and inexpensive Christmas decorations* can be made from leaves, seed pods and branches gathered free of cost along any highway or country lane. Branches can be made into frosty centerpieces or mantle decorations; and bearded grasses, pine cones, hedge apples and ethers of nature's ornaments can take on the glitter and glamour of fairyland. Gladys Daniels of the staff of the home economics department, University of Illinois College of A g r i c u l t u r e , r e c o m m e n d s t h i s method for frosting' Christmas trees and decorations. You will need a can of white enamel, a o n e - i n c h p a i n t b r u s h , m i c a Christmas snowflakes and plenty of old newspapers. Spread the ^papers over a big area to guard against spattering and dripping paint. Beginning at the bottom of the branch and working toward the tips, paint the entire surface. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle generously with Christmas snow. A great deal of the snow will fall onto the papers, but you can gather it up and use it again. Apply as much paint and snow as possible to give sparkle. After the paint has dried, you can paste on silver, gold or colored sequins for a really dazzling effect. Tiny Christmas balls about an inch in diameter can be tie! to the branches too. j A small tree* three or four feet high, either evergreen or deciduous, may be mounted oh a wooden block and treated in this manner.

Knives and forks were not used in China. Instead, the people were remarkably skilled in the use of "chop sticks" held between the thumb and fingers of the right hand, which conveyed to the mouth food already cut into small pieces. There were many rules of -etiquette, and to place the chopsticks across the top of the bowl meant that the guest wished to leave. The Chinese considered knives and forks barbaric. "We sit at table to eat," they said, "not to cut up caroasses." Cooking was already a fine art, and a banquet was not complete without the "five flavors," the sweet and sour, the salty and spicy, and the bitter. PHOSPHATE EXCEEDS VARIOUS NEEDS IN _ ILLINOIS SOILS V More I}linoiis land is deficient in phosphate than in either limestone or potash, report A. U. Thor and W. J. Armon, soils specialists at the University of Illinois. Soil testing records tor 1051 indicate that 08 percent of Illinois soils lacked adequate phosphate, 43 percent lacked lime and 40 percent lacked potash. The phosphate deficiency represents almost 17 million acres. To correct this deficiency, it would take over 3 million tons of 0-20-0 superphosphate for a four-ytfSir rotation, or nearly 10 million tons of rock phosphate for an 8-10 year period. In order to determine phosphate, and other plant food needs, Thor and Armon recommend that each farmer use the services offered by his accredited county soils laboratory or the central laboratory located at 218 Davenport hall, Urbana, in getting tests made. There are now 96 accredited soil testing laboratories in Illinois, in addition to the central laboratory at Urbana. MAYAN HOMEMAKERS The Bock House For Children reports that, as always, woman was the homemaker in the Mayan civilization in Central America (about 3500 B.C.--1490 A.D.). It was she who prepared anil cooked the maize. It was she who shelled the ear, placed the grains in a solution cf lime and water over night, cleaned and ground them between rubbingstones in the morning, and baked the maize meal into round cakes. It was she who invented new maize dishes and combined the meal with meat, beans, or calabash seeds. The Mayas also faised sweet potatoes, tomatoe3, squashes and beans, and had plums and pears for fruit. For meat, they hunted the wild boar and deer, raised a breed of doga for eating, tamed the wild turkey or kept herds of deer. On ceremonial occasions they usee a drink called balche, made from honey of a stingiest bee, kept In loaf wooden tubes as hives; tat their favorite beverage was spiced with cMli. -iq tnpitre-u tmnsfrog; si 93Bjjns s,tfvn» jo luearad OM)-£)U»A»8^ "' Worwick's McHenry Camera Center Cameras Bought, Sold and.
