On the contrary, red absorbs the light,

electric light, seems to turn into a
murky red-black—a color for murder-

KEEP YOUR MACHINE FIT.
"Give your sewing machine a
chance to save you work," is the ad-
vice of Miss Hazel Manning. The
spring sewing will be naore easily done
if the sewing -machine is in shape.
The equipment for the upkeep of
the machine may consist of: cleaning
cloths, a can of the best grade oil, a
• brush t free the "feed" from line, a
screw ifiiver, a wrench, and an inex-
pensive strap -cutter and punch to re-
pair the "belt."
• "Oil can make or mar your ma-
aejaine," says MiSs Manning. "Poor oil
!save a tendency to gum and to make
it run hard, The gummy substance
can -be removed hest by dropping a
little alcohol into the oil holes and
running the machine for a short time
unthreaded, A reliable oil should then
be used. Ordinarily, once a month is
often enough for oiling, but a machine
that is in constant use should be oiled
sparingly every day. It is the quality,
not the quantity, of oil that is import -1
ant," she declares.
cleaning, silk or linen cloths are
preferable to those of cotton or woolen
titi the latter leave loose threads and
lint on the machine.
Always close the machine when
through tieing it. Dust tends to col-
lect in the oil and causes the machine
'to work very hard and even to squeak.
In such cases, remove the head of the
machine -from its table and soak for
twenty-four hours in kerosene. At the
end of this time it should be wiped
thoroughly, replaced, and oiled.
Poor stitehing may be due to difs
ferent causes. .Ski -stitching," de-
clares Miss Manning, "may mean that
the needle is too flne for the thread, is
bent, or is incorrectly threaded or set,
If the stitch underneath is poor, it
means that the top tension noeds ad-
justing. If the stitctbing on top is not
satisfactory, the bottom tension is at
fault. Needles are eas sebent, if the
thread is pulled ard instead of
backward undera, e presser -foot when,
the material is removed from the ma-;
chine."

SUCCESS OF BRITISH'
EXHIBITS IN CANADA
Considerable attentlen was paid. a
the time of announcement, to the del,
cisinn of organized United Kingdom
industries to be represented at the
Canadian National Exhibition of 1923,
The Britieh industries, the iargest and
most powerful organization of manu-
facturers and producers In the world
which stands primarily for Vhe objee
tive of the development of inter -Em-
pire trade. It induced a number of
firms, of its membership, to be repre
sented In exhibits, • and in addition,
several individual business houses, fol-
lowing its lead, organized their separ-
• ate exhibits. The entire representa-
tion of British industries constituted.
, • • •
a comparatively small exhibit, but It
• -was in the nature of an experiment, or
rather, it would be more exact to say
that the • leaders of the Federation.
were content to let it go as a small'
exhibit ,to prove the value of such and.
permit it to grow with future years.
A lengthy and comprehensive re-.
port published by the Federation testi-
fies to the outstanding and unqualified
success from the British 'exhibitors'
point of view. The Federation, as an
organization seeking the best interests
of British manufacturers and -the de-
velopment of Enipire ,markets, is en-
tirely satisfied with the results
achieved, and individual exhibitors
are enthusiastic over the aUCOeSS Of
their` single representatns. The.
opinion is unanimous that consider-
able advantageous, trade may be de
veloped by this means.
The Benefits of the Exhibits.
The benefits of the representation Of
British industries have been many and
varied in the view of the Federation.
The exhibits were viewed by at least
a quarter of a million, people and
elicited a more than ordinary public
interest. Trade inquiries were nutner,
ous, and nearly all exhibitors reps.&
sented on the ground reported orders
and inquiries of the greatest import-
ance. The decisioia was general
among 13ritiSh rr.anufacturers that
there were wide possibilities of ex-
tending trade with Canada, a situation
of which inany of them had previously
been entirely ignorant.
The whole report is a pleasing testi-
mony to the great value of the Cana-
dian National Exhibition as a trade
medium. It styles it unique, and dif-
ferent from exhibitions held else-
where. It. emphasizes the fact that it
is the largest annual exhibition_ in thc.
world, and the difficulty, those unfaa
miller with the country or the exhibi-
tion, to realize this and lust -what it
means. It stresses particularly the
growing international chara.cter of the
Canadian exhibition, the representa-
tion from the -United States, France,'
