FEBRUARY MAWS
RANGED fROM 76 TO 8
The C. I. A. demonstration car, sta-
tioned at the depot for several days
white it was being fitted up with Ute
College of Industrial Arte exhibit, was
taken away- Monday night to Dallas,
from where it was sent on to Hous-
ton to pick up the A. and M. exhibit
ears and the rest of 'the train, -the
sleeper. dTner. lEjnbnstraffon care, ,ete.'
Pref—C. A. Tripp, head of the exten-
sion department, accompanied the car,
.Miss Floris Culver of the department,,
and Mrs( C. A. 'ITipp, who is to accom-
pany Mr. Tripp, Joined hi min Dallas
on tlie car Tuesday.
The demonstration car ii fitted up
handsomely, the exhibit So ’ arranged
ttiat every article and class of articles
may be examined by visitors from the
120 odd towns through which the train
will pass. .Mr, Tripp is deserving of
special mention for the aucoessful ef-
fort lie has made to make the exhibit
as attra^teye stel vveLL-placed as it Is,
and Denton citizens who saw tlie same
stuff in about the same arrangement at
the Dallas Corn Show recently declar-
ed that the C. I. A. exhibit w>s by far
the best-arranged and most attractive,
fur that reason, of the college "exhibits.
.Mr. Tripp himself made the handsome
fumed oak glass-front frames in which
the greater part of the exhibit is
cdunra.Zhei* WML
qf them on the walls of the car, against
a background -of tan of a shade that
-Tihtrasts well witli the frames and
makes the arrangement Uiuruvigtdj ar-
tistic. T|ie frames are nearly square^
about two and a half bydwe- and a
quarter feet, and about a third of a
foot thick. In the first one, entering
the car, is one of the most interesting
of all the exhibits shown, Thp njethod
of instruction in the civic improvement
department, which comes under Mr.
McGinnis at the College, being aptly
conveyed:' hr tlie frame are probably
a dozen pictures—all of thenv-excei-
tent—of
come in
stranger
.under the picture tells exactly what is
needed to make the home an ideal one
fromlhei standpoint of exterior beauti-
fication. In the centre is a piclure of a
FfTHage in’Denton wgTdi fully comes
up to the ideas of fibuse and grounds
decoration as taught by Yfrr MrGtnnK
In another frame is shown the de-
signing and stenciling work, with eacii
step in the process, and the finished
work of different years’ instruction.
Included also is-a tooled leather and
ctit leather exhibit’-. In another frame,
is "ft well-chosen set of designs illus-
trating the interior decorating work,
with a hoiisftreeioc-scheme and finish-
ing design. >

in the .laundry woxlTYi-auir is an in-
teresting series of lessons. Fiamml and
silk Komis is shown new, an dthen in
stages, as it comes from the wash tubs
where different methods are used. Tlie
last piece, drawn up fully ah inch and
a half from its original length, shows
most elTejrtively tlie “wrongest" way to
wash, those materials, with the other
methods of graduating had judgment on
toe first one or two, which are plainly
the best, as- toe shrinkage is scarcely
observable and the color unchanged.
Under ea«h piece is told- what soap,
bluing and method of washing—tem-
perature of washing and rinsing water,
etc., was used. In the same depart-
ment exhibit, is shown goods vvater-
proufed and (i.re proofed, and the dif-
ferent methods used to set color in
delicate fabrics, with the "before and
after" stages. -’ .
The house-planning department
shows a model house, ttie interior and
exterior, all of ‘ the designing of the
plans of which was done by a C. 1. A.
student whose name is attached. Last
year the house-planning exhibit was
very favorably commented on al many
stops, and after the demonstration cari
-had returned home, a letter came l*
Miss .Martha T. Bell asking for more
information concerning toe model
house" design which had accompanied
the exhibit, the writer wishing to
it in toe building of a home.
•The wood-finish ing frame, of
manual arts department, showed
treatment of different woods, compar-
ihg the oak and ash after a number of
treatments. Mr. Tripp explained that
the ash, properly (or improperly!)
treated is often sold for oak.
Tito domestic science department has
an exhibit of the most temptingly dis-
played canned fruits, of all kinds and
aseortifients.
The display frames toccupy one side
of toe car wall, while on the other side
are the displays which require a wider
extent of car rbom The first is *

rangement for a farm garden. 7'he

worked out, and from a tank at the
back of the car Ute model can b4

tank and Irrigation canals. AD. Tripp
