ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
E. A. T. — -No. 1. We do not know what powder Miss Gilpin refers 
to for cleaning pipes but it is probably powdered zinc and can be found in 
a drug store. This is used in the same manner that she mentions so is prob- 
ably the same. 
No. 2 — The china will fire all right after having been painted any length 
of time. 
No. 3 — The powdered flux should have no different effect on the color 
than the tube flux has. The trouble is probably from some other reason. 
No. 4 — -You can make green gold by mixing silver and gold and it can be 
applied over the roman gold. 
A. G. C. — ^We have never heard of the sunshine china. It is probably 
a name that some teacher has given a color combination. One teacher has 
an orange lustre lining under her saucers and placed them on a coffee tray 
which reflected the orange giving it a bright effect and she called it her sun- 
shine set. Perhaps this is what you refer too. 
C. D. — ^If your design is in gold it would be best to apply the lustre 
over the entire surface and then apply the design over the fired lustre. Some 
good effects may also be had by applying color over the fired lustre but the 
color remains on the surface, it does not sink into the glaze. If you apply 
the lustre and wipe out the design it would probably be best to fire it before 
applying the design, it would be hard to apply the design and not injure the 
lustre unless the design is very simple.
