ROME, October 81, 1912
The Archaeological Congress at Rome

decided that it's next meeting shall be held

The archaeological committee of Rome
accordingly drew up a project for the
souvenir. This labor of love, unfortunate
ly. proved fruitless, for the Roman city
council considered that the book intended
was too elaborate and expensive. and re-
fused to sanction it's production, So the
members of the congress were condemned
to forego their souvenir.
However, an official suddenly remem-
bered that somewhere in the council

INFLUENCE OF COLORS
ON HEALTH AND TEMPER
Most Popular Customs Based
Upon a Sound Scientific

PARIS, November 1. 1912
The dependence Of bodily health upon
light Of varying colors, or, at least, the
responsiveness of the physical organism
to changes of color is a belief that Is re-
fiected in the customs of many people
From the earliest times 1t has been the
practice of the Chinese to clothe victims
Of smallpox in carmine. In Tonkin and
Australia children with measles are paint
ed red; while in Spain the traditional pre-
scription for the same 11nalady is red
shirt and red sirup. According to
writer in the Revue. these customs have
to a certain degree sound scientific
basis. Experiment has established that
red light is beneficial for certain skin
diseases; blue and violet light are ef-
fective in killing germs; green brings
with 1t calm and sleep. Unfortunately,
according to DR.. Laumonier. the results
are not constant, and up to the present
no regular scheme of the effects OF vari-
Gus colored lights can be drawn up.
Generally speaking. red excites, as Is
proved by an interesting experiment de-
scribed by the doctor. Beneath glove
of colorless glass a spider and wasp
will live in amity, but when the giope is
changed to red they Immediately engage
in mortal combat. Hence the predomi-
nance of red in the martial adornment of
sayages and the red tunics and trousers
of the modern soldier. When the effects
of the different colors are more nrmly es-
tablished DR.. Laumonier foresees kind
of color Utopia. The hospitals of the
coming state will have the walls of Its
wards distempered with the color appro-
nriate to each malady. Schoolrooms and
lecture halls are to be painted green FL
nally, the exchanges and the houses Of
parliament will be designed with mauve

CHICAGO, November 15.-So much

the judges settled the contest by tieing

These mysterious noises are also de-

conference was held at Oxford recent

spoke from the government point of view.
and men and women who have had long
experience in the service of missionary
societies presented the problem in the
different forms in which they had met
with 1t abroad.
Prof Cairns of Aberdeen were among
those who dealt with the question In its
widest aspects.
All the speakers insisted on the urgency
Of the appeal which is made to western
women by the needs of eastern women
and girls, who are emerging from the
seclusion OF centuries into the freedom
brought to them by western civilization.
What kind of training shall be given to
these women as they come forward to
take their place in the new national
movements? Shall they receive a merely
western education and bring to their ma
tion an ideal of human life which Is not
interviewer with the old national ideals,
or shall they add to these the new social
and intellectual freedom and the strong

Christian education can give?
