Red Makes You Angry, Blue is
Soothing.
Paris Medical Experts Claim to Have
Found Cure for Divorce as Re-
suit of Experiments with
. CoIorS -

Paris. = Medical experts of the
french capital have found the latest
cure for divorce. It is result of ex-
perlments in colors made by eminent
medical men, who declare that red
wall paper, red clothes and red glass
windows make persons angry. Blue,
ON the other hand, is soothing to the
nerves of excited and "touchy" hus.
bands and wives.
A Paris husband who had been hav-
ing trouble with his wife consulted
one OF these experts as last chance
before seeing a lawyer. The doctor
visited the mans Office and saw bril-
liant crimson carpet on the floor. A
large Oil painting, the prevailing tone
or which was red, hung on the wall
At the home he found red wall pa
per, red curtains and red furniture.
Red said the doctor, "excites
your temper and your wife's too. Try
some other color Put blue wall paper
IN the house and throw away every
red piece of furniture you have"
The husband obeyed the doctors
orders and since then there has been
no trouble in that family.
You remember the old crusade over
blue spectacles? Everybody wore
them once. They were thought to
hold wonderful power to ease pain,
toothache and other troubles.
The principle was the same that is
being used in Paris now, but the doc
tors of 30 years ago had not quite
solved the secret of the effect of blue
light on the human brain.
They were going it blindly-just
like the farmer who put green goggles
on his COW and fed her shavings.
But now science has found the real
reason for the effect of red and blue
on peoples overworked minds.
There's a quality in the red and
blue rays that doctors call an actinic
quality.
When you look at anything bright
red, the red rays of light quicker than
the mind can conceive, travel to the

providing that nothing he should say
might be construed as criticism of his
predecessor.
"The principal aim of a librarian is
to get the books under his charge into
the hands Of the people who want
them with the greatest degree of ia,
cility commensurate with proper pre-.
servation Of the books themselves" !"
declared Librarian Legler.
LAS rapidly as the finances will al

livery stations. The number of branch
libraries ought also to be increased.
Free home delivery has been tried in
few cities, but it is not yet necessary
for Chicago and does not compare
with other and more urgent needs
for what money Chicago has to ex.
pend on its public library. With the
help of the school officials it is ou1

more liberal privileges, it would
seem to me, may be extended to card
holders. Elsewhere it is not an un.
usual custom for patrons of public Ii
braries to be allowed the right OF
taking out two or three, or even more,
books at one time on one card, pro.
Widing they do not attempt to monopo.
lie books for which there appears to
be widespread demand. Here, I am
told, the holder of card may take
out only one book at a time 1 think
that system may be changed with due
regard for the convenience of all con
cerned.
"The general trend everywhere also
appears to be toward increasing the
freedom of admission to book stacks
However, want to make it clear that
whatever changes I recommend will
be only after careful consideration
and after obtaining the consent of the
trustees"
Recently Mr.. Legler refused an Of

public library and he also refused an
offer to become New York state Ii

ton. The body was removed from the base of
the oak about Is years ago. 1t never should have
been removed.
1t is said that Washington selected the place
where his body now lies and left instructions
that one day the change of sepulcher should be
made. The oak which guarded the first grave
must have been standing for three centuries
The view from the place is inspiring enough to
eHklndle the eyes of dead man. The view from
the new tomb is fine in its way, but it is as moth
Ing to the grand sweep of river hilltops and for
ests which moves before the eye from the place
where Washington slept for 80 years.
Hundreds of visitors go to Mount Vernon
daily. They peer into the tomb and then
stralghtway go to the house. There is an inter-
est, or course, which must attach to any of the
belongings of Washington, but it seems to be
legltlmate matter of regret that of the thousands

Indoors at Mount Vernon everything is dead;
outdoors everything is alive The forest and

tents of the house are as dust
There is a real interest however, in the
library of the old home. In the main the books
are simply copies of those which were on the
shelves in Washington's time. The originals as

country. There two originals however

;Wo OF the reforms which book lovers
nay expect to follow shortly upon the
advent of Henry E. Legler, who has en-
sered upon his new duties as public
librarian of Chicago. The former
Wisconsin newspaperman, who is the
administrative head of Chicago's pub

work to earn the $4,000 salary the

It costs pretty penny to join the Metropolitan
club and to pay the dues and to live the life of
the organization. The initiation fee at the Cosmos
club is rather small and the dues light but
there are scores of members of the Metropolitan
club, "the club of the nobs," who willingly would
pay twice or thrice the Metropolitan's initiation
fee and the Metropoltan's dues if the expenditure
could gain them admission to the club where the
"cranks" foregather.

world subjects upon which you cannot get an
expert opinion in the Cosmos club.
