 Belmont Aviation Field, l.. l., Oct. 29.-America'S hope of retaining the Gordon-Bennett trophy in the Coupe Internationa1e D' Aviation, was dim med, today, when Walter Brookins, in a Wright flyer, came down in an accident.
 shortly after the accident to Brook ins, the Wrights announced that they would make no effort in the Gordon Bennett race. It was probable that John B. Moissant, the cross channel flyer, would therefore be substituted third member of the American

 Up to noon, the fastest time in the race had been made by Claude Gra- hame-White, in his 100 horsepower BIeriot. He completed the 100 kflo- meter course (62.14 miles) in hour, one minute, seconds and 60 1OOths, at the rate of 60.0S miles an hour.
 The accident to Brookins was thrilling. The Dayton youth, in his Baby Grade" Wright racer, was out for 8 trial spin. Directly in front of the grandstand his machine plung- ed suddenly to earth and lay, a pile of debris, until the stoical Wilbur Wright had 1t loaded on a dray and carted away.
 Le Blanc's accident, though wit messed by few people, was equally thrilling. He was hurting through the air at the rate of 70 miles an hour, when, the French speed hend discovered that his mechanism had not obeyed his orders and that he had an insufficient amount of gaso- line to complete the race. With a courage that might have won medals in a. battle, Le Blanc drove his ma chine, hoping against hope that he might have enough to last out the race. Then the gasoline gave com pletely out His aerop1ane crashed with terrible force, into a telegraph pole. smashing it asunder. Le Blanc, with less than half a lap to go, had lost the trophy he was so confident of winning.

This was Alex OgiIvie in a Wright racer, his elapsed time being hours, minutes, 36.6O He was compelled to alight for an hour be- cause of defective ignition But for the hour he was aloft, Ogilvie's time almost equalled that of Grahame- White

 At this hour there was great ex- citement in the American quarters on Hangar Row. John B. Moissant, the secured a place on the American speed team, by reason of Brookins' accident, was working with feverish anxiety to repair his B1eriot racer for the event. The daring little Amer1- can was keyed up to a high point and declared that he was ready to risk his life in an effort to gain the trophy for America. Further down the TOW, Charles K. Hamilton was nervously pacing in front of his racer, anxiously awaiting the moment when enter the race. Hamilton declared that, if there was the slightest chance, he intended to lower Grahame- Whites record.

have somber greens, gray green's anu
blue green's for shadowy greens.
AS suns color, yellow, is the very
essence of warm light just so is white,
cold light. Therefore, any colors hav-
ing yellow tendencies are warm colors,
opposed to the cold colors which, on
the other hand, are those colors having
blue tendencies.
Another point to remember Is the
difference between harmonizing and
contrasting colors. Harmonizing col
ors, you will find, are those that have
relative values of warmth, or those
that have relative values of coldness::
And those colors which have an equal
somberness, often called dead colors,
are colors that are said to harmonic
when they are brought together. Op-
posed to them are colors used IN con-
trast.
However, all good decoration requires
contrast as we'll as harmony in its color
schemes. When you have a room to
paper, carpet to select, curtain to
buy or a house to decorate, bear IN
mind Mother Natures great house, the
world and all its rooms, hills, valleys.
seashore, lake sides, forests and
streams. 1t is natures way that is
suggestive.
The application of suitable color will
help to tighten dark room, to darken
a room too light, to make cold room
appear warm and a warm room colo'
as when blue tones are brought into
south room and yellow tones into one
with a northern exposure.
It is just as important that the right
colors should be placed in room as
it is that the right colors should De

Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-02

m HE crusade against crude colors
and ill-chosen decoration has
u been taken up today with an en-
thusiasm that promises to lift home
decoration to the plane it should oc-
cupy, says Gardner Teall in The House
Beautiful. He continues this line of
thought by saying that our children
are becoming educated to a color sense
that no one even bothered to think of
a few years ago, when to most people
red meant any old red and blue was
blue. Consequently the homes of
few years ago were lacking in the re-
finement of color schemes.
Now the interior decorator has the
same problems that the exterior dec
orator has of blending color and pro-
ducing harmony. For instance, If he
starts in to decorate a room according
to a green color scheme he will not
select a single shade of green and at
tempt to arrive at any pleasing effect
by it's sole employment to the exclu-
sion of contrasting shades and colors.
No; he will produce harmony in his
decoration somewhat as the painter
produces harmony in his picture by
giving the matter the thought and
study it deserves.
It will help the decorator to learn
what the painter already has found
out, that colors nearer the light bright
en-, those away from it darken. Yellow
Is sunlights color; therefore If you
would have sunny green's you must
have yellow greens, or If you would

AS example, old gold velvet might do
where old gold denim would be out or
place.
We associate dainty colors with bed
rooms, reception parlors, music rooms
strong colors with mems rooms, smok-
ing rooms, halls. Try to have this
keynote color one that you will not tire
of and one that has a harmonic rela-
tion to the rooms adjoining. Often a
room that looks fairly well by day will
not be pleasing at night and vice
versa. These are things which every
housewife has to consider in planning
home decorations.
Let us suppose that you had bed
room to furnish, and for which you
wish to plan a color scheme. If your
room Is in a cold climate it will re-
auire one sort of color. if in a warm
climate, another. That is if your room
is in a warm climate, your color
scheme should be planned for cool
colors. Cool effects for bedrooms. But
a room should only be part yellow ana
should have the necessary complement
of cool green, the green of the water
cress Thus a room with white wood
work, papered in yellow and white,
with furniture of green wicker, green
and white rugs for floor coverings,
green, yellow and white chamber set,
yellow counterpane, white muslin cur
tains, over curtains if any, with pat
terms of yellow and green, and pic
lures framed in dark green will be a
delightful color scheme of any bed
room where one inclines to yellows.
The bits of green introduced and even
blue also, if you like. gives just the
touch of color needed to keep an all
yellow room from being monotonous:
If you are in doubt what shade of
green goes with yellow, find jonquil
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-02
Economy of space by using disappearing beds

and the yellow of the flower and the
green of it's stem will be the green you
require.
There was a time when green and
blue seemed impossible, and yet our
fields are full of blues and greens to-
gether OF course the blue used with
green must be the right blue. A room
of blue entirely is cheerless and cold.
But as a dominant note for color, blue
is excellent when frightened and
warmed by the introduction of bits of
other color, preferably rich green's and
bright warm colors.
The color of the decorations in a
mans room should be strong and sim
pie, while those of a woman's room
may have frilly muslins and light pinks
and light blues, colors that in mans
room are out of keeping. What ever
room it may be, some selected color
ought to predominant in the decora-
tions. Many persons have no interest
in color as a decorative factor beyond
a commonplace idea that they like red

The Dining Room

The dining room should be large
enough to permit a person to pass
around the table comfortably. 1t
should be light and sunny, easily heat
ed and ventilated. The most essen
tial pieces of furniture are table of
generous width. capable of being en-
larged, comfortable chairs. and side
board, if one cares for the sideboard.
1t is not absolutely necessary.
If the room is large enough and the
purse admits, a cabinet with glass
fronts and sides to hold dainty bits Of
china and glass ware will brighten
up the dining room more than anything
else. If there be no room for a cab
met, a corner cupboard and some
shelves are an addition. Plate rails
are much liked by some people, but
the plate rail is not used so much now
as formerly. Pictures that suggest
pleasant subjects are always desirable.
A few ferns and Towering plants add
brightness and beauty to the dining
room. Cut flowers on the table should
be found in the dining room. 1t Is
there the family are oftenest together.
Flowers so used can be removed be-
tween meals to some other part of the
house, thus giving double pleasure.
