Many who enioy doing this work, however, find that, when applying a second color, the paint brush in untrained hands leaves wavy, crooked lines instead of straight ones. If this be your experience, re member that adhesive tape may be used as a straight edge stencil to give clean, straight lines and edges. Ordinary zinc oxide tape, common ly referred to as ZO (zinc oxide) adhesive tape, may be applied di rectly to the surface to be painted and arranged in the desired design. If edges of tape are in close con tact with the surface, no paint will flow under, and a first rate paint ing job can be done by a novice. * * * For the Meatless Meal Corn chowder Stuffed peppers with cheese Fried tomatoes Spanish slaw Baked peach dumplings Non-stimulating drink see Old-Fashioned Applesauce Cake Cream together a Vi cup butter and \\\ cups sugar (beet or cane); add one egg, beaten.

PHOTOGRAPH SHOT ON HARDEST STEEL Image Reproduced by the “Munroe Effect” PAUL IN THE83ALON1CA / ^ v Acts 17:1-11 •. • -r-. —* Rev. Samuel D. Price, D.D., Associate General Secretary of the WorUFs Sunday School Association Consternation filled the minds of the magistrates in Philippi the morning after the jail delivery, when Paul and Silas were released by a miracle at the midnight hour. These rulers seat sergeants to instruct the jailer to release these prisoners. Then Paul stood on the dignity that was rightly his.* He insisted that these chief qjen copse in person and acquit him for they had already don4 great violence to their own law by beating a Roman citizen who, as yet, had not had a trial. Then the magistrates came with great fear and humbly asked Paul’s pardon as they invited him to carry on his mission of preaching the Gospel elsewhere. In rather easy stages, of about thirty miles each, Paul went to Amphipolois, Appolonia and Thessalonica, the modern Salonica where numerous events took place during the recent World War. There the custom was followed of beginning work in the Jewish synagogue, and he addressed audiences on three successive Sabbaths declaring the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ “whom I proclaim unto you.’* Many devout Greeks snd not a few chief women believed. Then the Jews were aroused with jealousy lest their hold on their own community be lessened. They gathered “certain vile fellows of the rabble” and soon had plenty of trouble started by those who loved to have part in a fight These fellows rushed to the house of Jason where Paul had lodged, intending to drag him out for very rough handling. Paul, however, was not there at the time so they laid hold on Jason to make him the object of their rage. A most high compliment was paid to the evangelists when the matter was presented to the rulers. It was declared: "These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also” and Jason was their host. The best that they could do was to bind Jason over to keep the peace, and court was closed. Paul was no sooner well started in successful work than he had to move on. The brethren now advised Paul and Silas to leave even that night for Beroea. about forty-seven miles further on. The story is somewhat different in this new preaching station. The Beroeans had a mind to learn if there was more of truth than they possessed. So they first listened to Paul and then turned to their Scriptures, our Old Testament, and examined the various prophecies concerning the coming of the Messiah that Paul indicated. After the most exact research they found that in Jesus Christ every reference was perfectly fulfilled. “Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honor able estate, and of men, not a few" This word Beroean has come to mean those who are careful Bible students and is familiar, especially in the literature of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It was not long before those who had stirred up trouble for Paul in ' Thessalonica came to Beroea and started another round of strife, just t by way of jealousy. Crowds were soon on the side of the misery lovers, ; and it again seemed wise for Paul to go forward. He left both Silas and Timothy there and sailed for Athens, in Greece.

Munroe, veteran explosive expert of the United States bureau of mines here. An incidental result of the work ' is proof that the black# In a photo graph print are due to varying thick- ' nesses of finely divided silver, the thicker the deposit the darker the 1 shadow in the photograph. How Photograph Was Mado. ? The steel photograph was made re- :centl£ by G. St J. Perrott, superin tendent of th# bureau of mines experi ment station at Pittsburgh and sent I by him to Doctor Munroe. To make -it a photograph ~of Doctor Munroe was Slaid on a piece of steel about two inches in diameter and an inch thick. On top of this was placed a disk- shaped piece of the nitrogelatin explo sive, which was then fired. Though ;the paper photograph was completely •destroyed, when the steel cooled suffi ciently to be handled the profile of 'Doctor Munroe was found impressed QjrVfe surface. Where the photograph ,had been black, that is, in the shad ows, the surface of the steel was raised, and' where there had been lights the steel was incised. Another example of the effect that is in Doctor Munroe’s possession now was made by W. 0. Snelling, director of research of the Trojan Powder com pany. In this case the words “Munroe Effect" were impressed into the sur face of a block of the explosive, so that t£e letters were In intagUo. When this was exploded on t disk of the Steel the letters appeared on it How ever, they wefe also In intaglio on the i This is (be opposite from what would be obtained with a die, for then the Intaglio letters on the die would come out in relief on the fin ished product. Doctor Munroe explains the effect by saying that when the detonation of the explosive occurs, tbs satire amount- of the solid Is converted IP gas. This volume of gas, however, momentarily has the same size and shape a» the original block of the ex plosive and Is therefore extremely com pressed. Where there was a cavity in the original explosive is the line of least resistance for the escape of the rapidly moving gas molecules. In seeking to escape they collide with each other, producing a vast number of tiny molecular drills, which bore into the hardest steel. Blew Safe by Method. Using the same principle, Doctor Munroe once blew a bole In a safe with a hollow cylinder of dynamite. He took a bundle of sticks of dyna mite, then, by pushing a tin can through the center, he pushed out the center sticks and bound together the other ones so as to form a ring. This he exploded In a vertical position upon .a safe. The result was a bole In the top of the safe corresponding to'the hollow center In the ring of dyna mite sticks. This hollow cylinder had acted as a gun to fire the gas mole cules thdottgh the steel. Any thin object, such as a leaf or photograph, can b« reproduced on steel in this way, said Doctor Munroe, and so a permanent record can be ob tained. The explosion has the effect of greatly magnifying slight differ ences in thickness, such as between the layers of silver in the shadows and I highlights of the photograph.

This woman *has not missed a bargain-sale in the city for years. She has kept up with everything that made de mands on her; society, lodges, church duties, dinners to raise money for the heathen, sick kin folks, funerals of neighbors and friends, clubs, where the one that made the most noise was the most popular! And, a thousand other activities in wholly unnecessary en deavor, besides her preparing three daily meals,—going to bed last, and getting up first—and making the neighborhood’s troubles her very own. This patient hasn’t been sick an hour in twenty-five years 1 What humanity needs is a mon key-wrench, with which to be fastened down to common-sense. Even an asbestos nervous system housed in galvanized iron, would break to pieces under the fearful mental gymnastics of to-day.
