DESIGNED HER OWN ROOM
How One Girl Carried Out Ideas as t.
the Furnishing and Col
orlng.

Her brown study was the name a
girl gave to a little room she had
made into snuggery of her own,
where she could read and work and
have coy chats with her friends, 1t
was the brown study because brown
was the prevailing color, enlivened
with yellow. This girl did most Of the
work herself, tinting the walls soft
yellow tan, with a picture molding
painted cream color near the ceiling.
The floor was stained slightly DARK
er shade than the walls, and on it were
laid rag rugs of browns, tans and vel
lows The girl braided these rugs
from white material she had dyed her.
self so that they would be just the
shades she wished.
So far 1t was all plain brown, cream
and buff. Now for variety and color
she chose a lowered cretonne with
design Of little yellow roses. With
this she made slip cover for little
low rocker, valance for the top Of

the sill, curtain run on brass rod
instead of her cupboard door which
she had taken off, and slip cover for
her lounge. She preferred the slip
covers for her chair and sofa because
they could be sent to the wash oeca-
sionally, so keeping her room fresh
and bright. She framed an oblong mir
ror IN the yellow rose cretonne, and
painted a bureau, small kitchen
table, and two kitchen chairs in cream
colored paint. On the table she placed
her blotter with its dull-brown cor
ners and over the table hung her book.

had room to enjoy.

SEE THAT THE FRUIT IS RIPE
Bananas and Apples Especially Are
Unfit to Eat II They Have Least
Suspicion Of Greenness.

A fact Of special interest at this
time of year is that some of the com.
monest fruits contain starch instead
of sugar until they have fully ripened.
Raw starch is very indigestible, which
explains the frequent necessity for
"green-apple medicine"
Most conspicuous in respect to their
starch content are bananas and APP
pies. Reports from the National Blu
reau Of Chemistry show that Baldwin
apples examined contained more than
4 per cent of starch while green, less
than one-quarter Of | per cent. when
ripe, and none at all when oyerripe.
The percentage of sugar. on the other
hand, had Increased more than four
times, showing that all the starch had
been converted into sugar during the
ripening process. Bananas show SINH
lar changes as they ripen.
These facts teach US that only thor
oughly ripe fruits are most suitable
for eating raw; that scarcely ripeAsd
apples and bananas. like gooseberries
and currants. are best adapted to cook
ing; and that all persons who eat raw
fruits should chew them thoroughly
on account OF the starch they are LA

: mus Midget had to face alone an op
portunity and a question. such as are
given to few men to solve.
Should he try to save those black
dots alone, and run the risk Of losing
his life and all chance that they
might be saved? Or should he return
to the station, call GU the rest Of the
crew and do what would then be easy
WITH Lyle gun and breeches buoy
easy If the wind would let a shot
carry?
The final outcome is proof enough
that 1t was no selfish fear of his own
life that caused him to hesitate-rath-
er was 1t nice balancing Of POSSIBLE
tiles. If he lost his own life in trying
to aid single-handed and alone, he lost
also all chance Of the life crews
knowing Of the wreck in time. If he
returned to the station to bring help,
1t must be three hours before an at
tempt at iescue could be made-and
would the wreck last three hours?
A problem, truly, and one to be
solved with all the force Of the worst
storm on record breaking and smash

cries for aid in his ears, and only the
small and pitiful chance of one mans
strength against the strength Of the
sea and wind before his eyes.
But Rasmus Midget was not
member Of the Gull shoal station-one
Of the famous crews OF famous
service-for nothing. 1t took him but
a few minutes to realize that there
was not one hour of life, let alone
three left in that swiftly dismantling

Brew Makes
a Hit In TOnOpah

Max Stenz, of the Carson Brewery
yesterday shipped carload of beer
to Tonopah and is preparing to make
more shipments to different sections
OF the south. Because of the extra
quality of the Tahoe brew, which
the local brewery1s making, it has
tlckled the palates- of users Of the ar
ticle and created great demand for
it. Heretofore shipments of the beer
have been prohibited to the southern
country by reason OF the excessive
freight rates. but with recent decis-
ions of the State Railroad Commits
sion. lowering the rates. it has been
made possible to land the beer in
that section in competition with lor-
eisn beers, and mindful of its quality
the public prefers it to the others.
There is also a demand for the
beer from Elko, Winnemucca and
Fallon country, but because of the
high freight rates, it is impossible
to ship it there at the present time.
This matter. however, is being con-
sidered by the commission, and when
a better rate is secured which is very
probable, those sections will also be
supplied with the Tahoe brew

To Be Tried In

Frank Romero, charged with muir

weeks ago. was given a hearing be-
fore Mrs. Anna NJ Warren. federal
commissioner. at Wadsworth ye5-
terday, and held to answer to the
federal grand jury. Romero was
taken to Reno by T. l.. Hawkins,
deputy marshal.
Romero's case was thrown into the
Federal court when he asserted that
he was an Indian and not Mexican
as had been supposed. The federal
government assumes jurisdiction OF
all cases where one Indian commits
an offense against another when the
offense is committed on reserva-
ton.
The body OF Sadie Mason was
found on reservation ground near
Wadsworth She had been murdered
her skull having been crushed by a
rock. Romero was her last known
companion and was arrested and
placed in the county Jail.
