WASTE NOT, WANT NOT.
It is verynecessary that small re-
pairs be made whenever their need is
apparent, for "A stitch in time al-
ways saves nine," A neglected dwell-
ing soon gets a run -down -at -the -heel
appearance, and the value depreciates
rapidly.
Whenever papering is to be done,.
clean off the old paper by moistening
with a whitewash brush dipped in hot
water. Let soak awhile and the paper
will come off quite readily. Then, with
plaster of Paris mixed with milk to
prevent it setting rapidly, or fibre
plaster which is mixed with water
and hardens so that it is of board -like
solidity—fill up any cracks and any
places where the baseboard has
shrunk away from the plaster.
Smooth off these places with a little
sandpaper when they are dry, and a
much better papering job will be pos-
sible.
Specify that your paper hanger will
cut and match the paper at the cor-
ners of the room; otherwise there e will
be a twisted and broken appearance
in a short time, because of the some-
what uneven settling of the walls, and
the fact that the paper was not
crowded closely into the angle.
Where worn door sills, splintered
boards, or warped places in the floor
show themselves, attend to the repair
as soon as possible. Mark the warp-
ed places with a small lead pencil
mark as to where nailing is necessary.
To nail when the warping is present,
will nearly always break the tongue
of the board or split it in the middle.
When the heating plant is going, the
floor will dry out—the boards will
come back where they belong, and
then the pencil marks will indicate
just where the nailing should be done.
Replace worn
p or broken boards at
once. A skillful carpenter or even a
handy -man can cut there out and re-
place them.
The wood finish of some ready -built
houses has a cheap appearance be-
cause of its thinness and its quality.
This effect may be relieved by pur-
chasing suitable moulding at a lumber -
mill. Have a earpenter take the meas-
urements and attend to the mitering
of the corners. Nail this moulding
carefully in place about the doors
and windows. Putty nail heads, and
when the room is painted, or painted
and enameled, the appearance will be
wonderfully improved.

possible. And it is possible now, only because
the Chevrolet Car and Chevrolet business prin-
ciples have been so universally and so favorably
received. Chevrolet production has, as a result,
rapidly grown in volume until now Chevrolet
is the world's largest manufacturer of quality
automobiles.
Chevrolet quality is more than apparent. For,
the more closely Chevrolet is examined and the
more severe the tests demanded, the more con-
vincingly is Chevrolet quality demonstrated and
proved.
Moreover, day by day continuous service brings
out another economy equal, if not greater in

Tit 1118 boglntng of the Year,
n of
iVIaxeh, after it practice wlalclll1as pre^
vaned for nearly (wo handred years,
and accompanied by the elaborate
ceremonial which has become tradi-
tional, the Newfoundland sealing fleet
left the port of St, John's foa' the
Banks on its annual expedition, The
sturdy craft from the Newfonnalland
port were joined by ethers from St,
John, New Brunswick,' and Halifax,
Scotia, and altogether some ten
vessels set out to'eugageln the 1024
baht,
The sealing industry, exploiting the
rich resource lying oft uie coasts of
the island, is one of the most ancient
06 the • economlo activities' of New•
foundland, originating in the year
1760, when the first expedition to the
Banks took place. The commence•
meat was on a very small gibd desul-
tory scale, and for some years the an-
nual catch did not exceed three or
four thousand skins per season. With
the increasing demand for oil and
skins, however, the industry grew, and
mora and more men and vessels earns
to engage exclusively In it By the
beginning of the nineteenth century
the annual catch exceeded 60,000
skins.
The Growth of the Industry.
Of late years, due to the heavy toll
exacted and the indiscriminate killing
engaged in, the seal catch of New-
foundland has fallen off somewhat.
The industry is, in fact, In the process
of being intelligently built up again
,at the present time under the conser-
vative spupervislon of the Newtonnd-
land Government. In the old days a
single vessel has brought into St
John's a catch of 42,000 shins, and a
total of nearly 700,000seals have been
taken by the entire Newfoundland
fleet in a single Season. As recently
as 190S, the catch numbered 213,868
seals, and that of the following year
260,320. The total catch in 1022 and
1023 was in the neighborhood of -127,-
000,
f127,-
000, worth about $200,000. That of
the present year is expected to be
worth a little more.
In line with every other phase of
continental life, the sealing excursion
from Newfoundland has been con-
siderably modernized. The vessels
engaged in the chase became larger
and larger each year until they were
almost entirely superseded by fast
steamers, which not only facilitated
the methods of the hunt but rendered
it less arduous and hazardous. To-
day, though there are a few sailing
vessels 1a the expedition, the stainer
is the most Important factor and ac-
counts for, live•sixths of the Catch.
Even so the dangers attendant upon
Um annual visit to the ice floes have
by no means been entirely eliminated,
and itis no uncommon occurrence for
a vessel to return to port with Its crew
depleted.
The Introduction of the Aeroplane.
In the past few years the annual ex-
pedition has been further brought up
to date by the introduction of the aero-
plane into its work. Previously the
locating of tlie seal herds was done by
men in the rigging of the ships, with
a range of vision naturally limited.
Tho plane now does this "spotting"
for the fleet, having a visionary range
of flfY miles. This machine has
proved invaluable not only In locating.
the schools, but in assisting In finding
the bundles of shins at the end of the
season which have been left the ice -

The Newfoundland Government at
the present time to endeavoring to
once more build up the seal herds, and.
affording them a manner of protection.
One method of doing this Is limiting
the hunt to one expedition per year.
Once the fleet returns to port, no mat-
ter what the extent of the catch, it
never sets out a second time in the
same year, but waits until the follow-
ing spring. This spring excursion has
become traditional in point of time
and ceremonial, and each March the
hardy fisher folk of the island set out,
just as their forefathers have done for
nearly two hundred years back, to on.
