Colors Affect the Brain.

People to whom certain colors repre- sent sounds or emotions have long been laughed at, but scientific work on the suns rays is proving them to have jus tification for their theories. Red, it appears, is the most exciting and stimulating of all colors and has d special effect on the activity of the brain. Blue, which so many people i'll an age of great nervous strain and ten. sion find soothing, is so in reality.

Life In the Garden of Eden.

The inhabitants of Eden plainly liv- ed without toll. They were born to that leisure for which we strive so fiercely in this workaday world. So far as the man was concerned. the sting of the expulsion was the fact that he had to go forth and eat bread in the sweat of his face. Jehovah did not enforce this sentence at hard labor by putting guard over Adam. Eve was not placed in charge. nor yet the willy serpent. The offender was merely driven forth from the garden that was full of trees. The trees had made it paradise. Every tree that was pleas ant to the sight and good for food was there. The inhabitants walked about in the comfortable shade ard ate. When thirst arose there were the juices of fruits and palm wine. The spon- taneous products of the garden even supplied the first demand for clothes. On that bitter day of expulsion these erstwhile happy harvesters of treetops were driven forth from this rich, and fruitful shade, driven to the fields to eat the herb of the field and to win bread by the sweat of their faces Atlantic Monthly.

FALLS VILLAGE

The cantata, "Jerusalem'' was sung by the choir of the Methodist church, Sunday evening, to the delight of a large congregation. The presentation was a credit to all who participated and especially to the pastor, Rev. c. ", Bryant, who trained the singers for the occasion. The particularly beautiful feature of the affair was the disclosure | of the Star of Bethlehem. While the I quintette were singing Beautiful Starr all the lights were suddenly ex- tinguished and at the same instant the immense star in the east, high up in the church was illuminated. The effect was surprising to most of the audience, and highly pleasing to all. The quin- tette members were Messrs. A. s. Davis, Louis Davis, Alfred Abbe, Fran cis Abbe and Mrs. Bruno Heinz. The choir members who sang the cantaia besides the above were Mrs. G. w. I Bryant, Miss Hanchett, Mrs. Davis, Miss Bessie Davis, Mrs. McClelland, Mrs. Sanford, Mrs. Zamboni, Miss Eleanor Tracey, Mary Dean, Winifred Smith, Dora Heinz. .,a .s .. .'.. . biS' 1ooCll, ,ISdClleT ut blle aIluuU school is spending her vacation at her home in Bristol. .s --...... ... -.,

The unhappiest natures know are the natures of keen emotion and swift perception. who yet have not the gift of expressing what they feel for any artistic medium. It is these, alas, who cumber the streets and porticos of literature. They are attracted away from homely toll by the perilous sweet ness of art, and when they attempt to express their raptures they have no faculty or knack of hand.-A. c. Ben son in Century Magazine

DEFENDS LEGISLATION
WHICH AIDS INDUSTRIES
Davies Says Laws Are Not Menace
to Business. but Rather Will
Greatly Help It.
Special TO The Washingtou Herald.
WilliamstOWn Mass Dec

Special to The WashingtOB Herald.
williamstOwn, Mass. Dec. IT.-Joseph
E. Davies, United States Commissioner
OF Corporations, explained and defended
the administrations Industrial legisla-
ton In a speech before the students OF
Williams College here today.
In a short review OF the development
of the relationship OF government and
business, Mr.. Davies led up TO the con-
ditions that necessitated the enactment
of the Sherman law. which he called the
declaration of Industrial and financial in
dependence" Then he showed how the
legislation suggested by President VIII
son supplements and strengthens this
law.
Mr.. Davies spoke optimisticaIly OF the
future declaring business men are daily
growing more conscious OF their duty to
society and that the wise business lead
ers of today are seeking more not to
avoid the law, but TO adhere strictly
to il; not only to understand its letter.
but to interpret the spirit of its purpose. 4"
The Federal Trade Commission Is one
OF the most promising of the recent legis-
lative accomplishments. according to Mr.
Davies, who explained that the commits
sion. made up Of practical business men.
would be able to help enforce Industrial
equity where courts of law have failed.
Its knowledge Of the situations in
volved would certainly be cosxtensive
with the knowledge of the Department
OF Justice" he said. "and In the course
OF time its experience would be much
greater. Its recommendations would
be accepted by the public, and would
give greater reinsurance than II made
by an individual aloae. regardless Of
the great extent of his ability or prob
ity."
OF present business conditions he
said:
"Of the 3O5.OOO corporations OF the
United States, $4,000 have a capital.
surplus, and undivided profits OF Sl.0O0,-
900 or less. But 1900 corporations have
capitalization Of $5,0OO.OO0 or over.
And yet 100 OF these corporations own
one-seventh OF the total property value
Of the nation"
The cries OF certain Industrial lead
ers that the legislation is a menace TO
business is a false note. according to
Mr.. Davies, ard in summing up his
explanation he concluded:
This is the contribution to the
preservation OF industrial and financial
freedom. which is due to n greater de-
gree than to any other single contribut-
ing cause to the constructive states

States"
