Se a Utilizing the Beauty of Ancient Paneling Paneling in Tudor days was a ne- cessity, not a luxury, and there was continual activity in the building line, says an article in Arts and Decoration Magazine. In many instances the changes and alterations are closely as- sociated with the history of the fam- ily who were the owners of the build ing. At the time of Henry VII the inte- rior of many of the famous houses throughout the land was much changed and there seemed a greater desire for smaller and more private rooms. The great hall usually con- tained the finest examples of wood carving, but in Elizabethan times the long gallery and smaller rooms suc- ceeded it and the beauty of the panel ing was frequently hidden by richly colored and magnificent tapestries. Much of this fine work has with- stood the wear and tear of centuries by pure accident, in many case’ be- ing covered by thick coats of plaster which has seemed to an erstwhile owner more attractive than the som- ber wall covering. The clever an- tique dealer of today takes a portion from one house, a door from another and a wall from a third and, if cor- rect in period, puts them together to form a room that breathes the mel lowness and charm of antiquity. No Mere Lion’s Roar Could Frighten Him Mrs. Jones had been selected from several aunts to take Donald to the zoo. She was perfectly satisfied, as she always enjoyed being with Don- ald. He was a soft-voiced boy of three with curly hair, sparkling eyes and sunny smile. The smile was much in evidence as they made their tour of the zoo. More than one animal provoked the child's laughter. But when they got to the lion's cage the beast was carrying on so angrily that Mrs. Jones expected her nephew to be frightened. Up and down paced the tawny animal, shak- ing his head from side to side, swish: ing his tail against the iron bars of the cage. And suddenly he let out x bellowing roar that shook the build- ing. The aunt was terrified. “Nice kitty,” gurgled Donald, bis sunny smile breaking forth again. Birds Public Benefactors Contrary to popular opinion, says the biological survey, various birds eat even the hairy types of caterpillars. like those of the tussock gypsy and brown tail moths, and the tent cater- pillars. That bureau has found for ty-five specier of birds which feed ex- tensively on the alfalfa weevil, while sixty-six attack the cotton boll-weevil Orioles will pick weevils out of the squares or flower buds of the cotton while swallows feed on them when in flight and extending their range. Mal. lard ducks have been effectively used in ponds for mosquito control, Red- eyed vireos seem to be attracted by fall webworms, while cutworms form a large part of the diet of starlings, crows and jackdaws. Blackbirds help to keep down the number of worms and many other pests. Spar rows and other birds have been ob served to clean up infestations of termites. Birds should be regarded as an ever-present force that should be kept at a maximum efficiency by pro ice may be utilized whenever possible Products In an English school, the examiner asked one of the children to name the products of the Indian empire. The child was well prepared, but verv nervous. “Please, sir,” the answer ran, “India produces curries and pepper and rice and citron and chutney and—and—" There was a long pause. Then, as the first child remained silent, the lit- tle girl raised her hand. The exam: iner nodded. “Yes, you may name any other prod pete of India.” “Please, sir,” the child announced proudly, “Indigestion.”—The Furrow. A Hammerstein Joke it was at a dinner party in London pefore the war. Lady Cunard was seated between Mr. Asquith, then Brit: ish prime mirister, and Sir Thomas Beecham, the musician, who derives his wealth from a famous pill.

This is what she read: “] see you are seated between the prime minister and the prime admin ister.” Dangerous Jobs Firing a railroad locomotive stands fifth among the most dangerous Amer- ican occupations in a table prepared by the labor bureau, says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
