Choosing New Wall Coverings.

As the walls occupy such large pro-
portion of the room space, the impor-
lance of their covering is the most oh.
vious. Much of ones comfort depends
upon the color chosen as a covering, for
colors exert a powerful effect on the
Imagination and indirectly on the health.
Under no consideration should the color
of room be left to caprice; it should
always be selected carefully in relation
to daylight exposure, artificial lighting
and the other furnishings.
There are three or four general rules
concerning coIors that can be safely
followed. These have to do with the
quality and quantity of light. As TO
quality, light may be either cold or
warm. The rays if direct give CHEEKY
result in room.
1t is plain to be seen that it would
be unwise to make a north room more
cherries by covering the walls with
blue or green. Either of these colors
may be used in rooms with any other
exposure. where there is a little sun
light to neutralize their dizziness. Tones
of yellow and red are successful in rooms
that have only the north exposure
Yellow papers are almost magical IN
the effect they produce, for when used
in north room they defeat the gloom

CARRANzA LOSES 600 MEN.
Result of an All-Day Engagement Near
Pared0n.

Laredo. Tex, July six hundred
Carranza troops were killed in an all-day
battle Monday in fruitless attempt to
capture Paredon, Villa stronghold
about 80 miles northwest of Monterey
according to reports reaching here yes
terday. Eighteen thousand men are said
to. have been engaged in the battle, with
total casualties on both sides of 1000
Carranza reinforcements renewed the at
tack Yesterday
Ii was estimated that Villas losses
equalled those of Carranza. About 5000
Carranza troops under General Jacinto
Trevino advanced Monday morning along
the railroad from Villa Garcia, midway
between Monterey and Paredon. The ad-
vance followed a Sunday truce during
which both sides buried the dead which
during the two weeks of incessant fight
ing around Villa Garcia had fallen so
thickly as to menace health.
The Carranza officers estimated that
Villa had nearly 10000 men concentrated
near Paredon under Generals Urbana and
Chao. Their purpose was to halt a Car
rama advance on Torreon, about 300
miles west Of Monterey.
Infantry, cavalry and artillery on both
sides began the battle about Paredon
early Monday. AT night the Carranza
charges ceased and General Trevino was
reported to have failed TO gain ground.
Yesterday mornings reports said, how
ever, that he had received reinforcements
estimated at 5000 men and was renew
ing the attack on the Villa army.

BANKERS AND FARMERS.
Two Days Conference Between Them Be-
ing Held in Chicago.

Chicago. July 7.-Bankers, farmers
educa tors from various state agricultural
schools and experts from the federal
department OF agriculture met here to-
day for the first session of two days
conference on the relations between bank
ers and farmers. Consideration of eco
nomic and practical difficulties in the ex.
tension of the work OF the agricultural
commission on the American Bankers
association was taken up.
f. h. Mumford dean Of the college OF
agriculture of the University of Mis-
souri,. said that the farmers problem was
essentially economic.
1.-THE solution of the economies OF ag-
riculture as related 10 the actual bus
mess of farming, will carry with it the
solution Of many of the other problems
OF the rural community he said. But
because European countries produce a
much larger yield per acre than the
United States, il does not necessarily
follow that the American farmer would
find il profitable or possible TO produce
Yields as large or 20 bring under cultiva-
ton land relatively so poor. The factors
of labor, price of product and many 9th
er conditions must be recognized. But
taking all factors into account, il re-
mains true that the American farmer
can largely irarease his profits, better
maintain the fertility Of the soil and in
cidentally materially increased crops"
Professor Mumford pointed out that
the American farmers as class have
been too slow TO adopt new methods and
told OF the difficulties facing the agricul-
tural colleges when the institutions try
10 get the results Of their experiments
adopted generally. He said that the
bankers OF the country ARE particularly
well situated TO help in advancing the
cause OF better agriculture, and added;
Recent Investigations have clearly in
dieated that agriculture in America u
under capitalized. The very first step in
farm betterment required a much larger
amount Of capital IN our agricultural
operations than has been utilized In the
mast half century. FERTILIZERS cannot be-
pnrehs sed without money and money
cannot BE- obtained except through the
bankers. Neither can the American
farmer buy the best types Of domestic
animals without money. The real reason
in many cases why agricultural improve
ment has not been more rapid IL because
the farmer either has not been able 10
get money or aid not feel justified IN Dor
rowing al current rates.
The bankers Of America then can pro
mote the cause Of better agriculture by
cooperating with the agricultural col
legss. BY promoting the locsting Of coun-
~ agricultural agents and by loaning

mess, while another color would seem
absolutely futile. Rooms with plenty of
sunlight may be treated with colder
blues and greens.
All wall coverings should be tested
under artificial light, for gas and cleo
tricity play the strangest tricks with
color. Delicate shades of blue frequent
ly change into sickly green, and spoil a
color scheme.
A wall covering should also be chosen

room The rarest old mahogany furni-
ture will lose its charm if it is placed
in a room with red paper. If one boasts
of fine Oriental rugs a paper that will
bring out their rich eolorings should be
selected A brown wall paper or textile
win heighten the soft brown and yellow
ish tints of the finest rugs.
A plain paper or one with quiet self
tone pattern is the only kind that makes
successful background for pictures. The
soft neutral tone Of cartridge paper is
splendid setting for ornaments and
pictures, while soft brown is safe
choice OF paper for the average room, as
against it almost any picture, be it oil
painting, water color, portrait, etching
OF photograph, appears to advantage.
Gray is also a good and restful color
to live with. happy and popular com
bination is the gray wall covering with
white woodwork 1t is an admirable idea
for the city apartment, where there is
none too much light
If a room is TO contain no pictures
a wall paper of prominent design may
be safely used, but this must be most
carefully selected. For there are many
grotesque papers put upon the market
sure to attract the inexperienced dec.
orator. If room is to contain numer-
GUS pictures, a plain background is the
thing.
The use of solid, flat tones on room
give a look of apparent size. Size may
also be obtained by using light paper
on small room.
There has been some discussion as
TO the use of fantastical paper on the
nursery walls. IL is far more healthful
and restful 10 have just deep frieze
or border of fairy tale scenes than to
have the whole room covered with the
very stimulating designs.

State Department Declares

STARVATION REPORTS
NOT EXAGGERATED
Armed Intervention by U. S,
Predicted-But Little
Prospect of Peace

Washington, July 7.-Starvation and
famine reports from Mexico are not ex-
aoperated. This is the information
which was given the state department
Yesterday by private citizen who has
lately Travelled through northern Mexico.
Secretary Lansing announced the general
nature OF the information given him, but
did not disclose the name of the individ-
ual giving it.
Significance is attached to the fact
that the department regards the infor-
nation as of sufficient Importance to
make it known 1t tends to contradict
statements given out by some of the
Mexican leaders, who would have the
American public believe the stories Of
distress among the Mexican people over
drawn.
The impression is growing here that
If this government takes any new course
of action with respect to Mexico the
president will justify it largely on the
ground that the American people cannot
Sit still and see vast population strick-
On win famine right at the door Of the
United States.
II il considered not unlikely that when
President Wilson returns from his saca
ton he will give renewed attention to
Mexico with view to forcing the fac
tions to abandon the warfare which is re-
sulting in untold suffering to the millions
Of the population who are not in arms
and are at the mercy of the armed sol
diery and banditti
How long the president will feel he
ought to wait on the fractional leaders be-
fore actually resorting to armed inter
vention is something which it is doubtful
it any of his subordinates know. At
least they profess ignorance.
The conference of Villa chieftains here
yesterday, including Diaz Lombardo, min
lister of foreign affairs for the Villa gov
eminent; Enrique G, Llorente, who rep
resents the villa faction in Washington;
Manuel BoniIla, special envoy OF Villa in
and General Felipe Angeles,
is understood to be for a double purpose.
One object is to put a peace proposal up
to Carranzs, which, ii he rejects it, will
seem TO put on him the onus of con-
tinuing strife. A second object is TO set
forth peace plan sufficiently in line
with the demands of the Wilson admin.

For Toothache, Grab Toe.

If your tooth aches hang on to your
toe. 1t depends on the toe you grip, and
il the grip is tight enough, advises the
Utica Press. You may not believe the
toe-grip will do any good, but dentist
read a paper the other day before the
annual convention of the Northern Ohio
Dental association and told about his
discovery of the relation of the nerve
centers or zones to each other, and how
it enables him to produce local anes-
thetic in almost any part OF the body
by exerting pressure on other parts, usu-
ally joints of the fingers and toes. He
claims it is possible for the patient to do
the pressing himself. The right thumb
governs the right front tooth, the fore
finger the wisdom tooth, and the sec
ond finger the first molar. The discovery
is known as zone-therapy, and if it will
stop toothache it is bound to be popu-
