'J'here are some places about a house 
where materials of a low first cost may 
be used with economy in the long run. But 
screen cloth for windows, porches and 
doors is not one of them. Don’t take 
chances with your protection against 
insects. 
Jersey Copper Screen Cloth will give you 
the maximum of service at a minimum 
of expense. It is made of copper 99.8% 
pure. It cannot rust as do iron and steel. 
It will not disintegrate as do cloths made 
of uneven alloys. It is not soft like or¬ 
dinary copper cloth, because it has been 
made stiff and strong by a special Roeb- 
ling process. 
While the first cost of Jersey Copper 
Screen Cloth is slightly higher, the differ¬ 
ence is insignificant when compared with 
its durability, also the cost of paint, re¬ 
pairs and extra labor, which must be ex¬ 
pended on some other kinds of screen 
cloth is avoided. 
Use Jersey Copper Screen Cloth (16 
mesh, dark finish) for your door; window 
and porch screens. Look for the red and 
black tag when you buy custom made 
screens or screen cloth from the roll. 
If you cannot readily obtain Jersey Cop¬ 
per Screen Cloth in your locality, wtite 
us. We will send you on request a book¬ 
let “A Matter of Health and Comfort”, 
' regarding screen cloth which you will 
find worth reading.

PLANNING the MODERN KITCHEN 
The three plans on this page show an ideal arrangement of 
kitchen equipment as designed for a typical kitchen by the 
Home Assistant Association of New York 
The proximity of work table to stove on one side and 
preparation table, work table and sink on the other makes 
a compact, step-saving disposition of all the equipment 
In city homes and apartments where space is at a premium 
it is necessary to use every inch of shelving and to have it 
conveniently located and designed for a definite use 
no silver and china are brought into 
the kitchen, but washed and replaced 
ready for use again in the pantry, the 
serving dishes, etc. being placed directly 
in the warming oven, which has doors 
on both sides, where they may be 
easily reached in serving hot foods from 
the stove. 
Wherever possible, the use of a com¬ 
bined dish and serving cupboard, which 
opens through to the dining room is a 
valuable element in the plan of any 
average sized kitchen. A relatively close 
position for the stove and sink at 
opposite ends of the cupboard with 
the dining room door nearby, afford 
maximum ease in serving a meal and 
cleansing dishes. A warming compart¬ 
ment is often built into the cupboard 
successfully.

Ming have seemed remote since they 
preceded the wares of the Ch’ing Dy¬ 
nasty of the reigns of the familiar 
K’ang Hsi, Yung Cheng and Ch’ien 
, Lung emperors, they are, from the 
; Chinese point of view, comparatively 
i itiodern. 
, In his introductory chapter Mr. Hob¬ 
son says: 
’ “In the long vista of Chinese history 
' which stretches back in an unbroken 
I line far beyond our era, the Ming 
, dynasty seems relatively near and 
modern. The supreme periods of the 
linajor arts had passed. The great 
painters of the T’ang (618-906 A. D.) 
and Sung (960—1279 A. D.) dynasties 
were already invested with the halo of 
antiquity; and though there were still 
names which added lustre to the annals 
of Chinese art, the Ming dynasty is 
best known to us for the development 
of one of the minor crafts. 
“The porcelain of Ching-te Chen, 
with which the name of China is uni¬ 
versally associated, reached its full 
maturity under the Mings; and later 
generations had little to add to its 
development except perfection of detail. 
Chinese writers and collectors of 
after times speak of the Ming porce¬ 
lains with deep respect; and some of 
the Ming reigns have been unanimously 
voted the classic periods of porcelain 
manufacture.” 
It is, indeed, only recently—and Mr. 
Hobson has had much to do with 
bringing this about—that Ming wares 
have begun to be understood, that we 
have realized the superiority of the 
finest Ming pieces to those of other 
periods. Mr. Hobson says: 
“It would now seem that we have to 
deal with two distinct types of (Ming) 
porcelain, the one a finely potted, deli¬ 
cately finished article. . . .and the other 
a thick and heavy, or at any rate 
roughly finished, ware suitable for 
transport by sailing ship or caravan to 
Western markets. The extremes of 
these two groups are certainly as the
