Boom as in the phrase. rubber

pears to have originated in the west,
somewhere about 1878. Its original
reference was to rapid movement pro-
ducing roaring sound. When jim
of logs breaks up the logs are borne
violently down stream, and are then
said to be booming. SO it seems prob
able that the expression originated in

A house built in Brooklyn was des-
ienated. as far as could be, to counter
act the lack Of sunlight, which the
hoase's situation made unavoidable
The chief means for giving the i'm
preston OF sunshine were yellow tint
ed walls and amber glass skylights
Monotmy in the yellow tones was
avoided because the location of each
room offered some peculiar problem
which was best solved by tint DIFF
