Lighting Scheme Factor
in Wall Paper Choice
BY GRACE E. HADLEY

County Home Demonstration AGENT
Now that housekeeping season is
at hand, many housewives are looking
forward to redecorating their homes.
1t isn't always the woman who
spends the greatest sum on her house
who has the most attractive one, nor
is it the woman who can have every
thing new that deserves the most
credit, but the woman who reads,
thinks, and plans is the woman who
spends to the best advantage and has
the most restful home.
The walls of room should serve
for background of furniture, pic
lures and people; therefore the plain
or small figured paper in an average
sized room, is most satisfactory.
A room with many openings, namely
doors and windows, should not have
large figured paper. A not too prom
inent stripe often adds to the height
of a low ceiling room.
The lighting of a room should al
ways be taken into consideration when
selecting wall paper. A room with a
north exposure, or one in which the
windows are shaded by porch should
have a warm brown, or even straw
colored paper to give the appearance
of warmth as we'll as make the room
lighter.
Woodwork should be taken into con-
sideration too, in selecting paper. A
dark, dingy woodwork will often cause
such striking contrast that the eff
feet will not be pleasing. Brilliant
greens, blues and reds in paper grow
tiresome as we'll as fail to furnish a
fitting background. Beautiful greys
in combination with a little soft rose
and indistinct gold in the form of an
all over conventionalized design, are
very artistic and pleasing.
Small all over floral designs for bed
rooms are most attractive as we'll as
quite helpful in carrying out a color
scheme.
Remember, in buying wall paper.
that it is something you will be as
ISOLATED with 365 days in the year.
Therefore, select intelligently-don
wait until the last minute, then rush
down town when you are too tired to
think.

CHARTER FOR LOCAL
BOY SCOUTS PLANNED

The next few weeks will see the Of
fetal recognition of Richmond Boy
Scout troops. under the leadership of
Secretary Oryille Brunson, who has
charge of the movements in Rich
mond.
Three or four troops are ready to
apply for their charters and become
official Boy Scout troops of the nation
al organization known as the Boy
Scouts of America.
Because very few Richmond men
know the true value and work of the
Boy Scout organization, including
himself, Mr.. Brunscn has obtained
the service of Howard Vance of Indi-
annapolis, to come to Richmond every
Tuesday to instruct the Richmond
scoutmasters These meetings will
not only be open to scoutmasters, but
also to members of the scout COM
hittees, and any one interested in the
work. They will start next Tuesday.
Ten Richmond churches are trying
to organize troops of Boy Scouts.
Other churches are expected to take
up the work later. The Grace Meth
odist church probably will be the first
Richmond church to send for char
ter at this time.
Before this time several churches
had formed individuals troops which
for the most part have become mac
tive. AT one time there were three
registered troops in Richmond.
Charles Halle was scoutmaster OF
troop for some time. Louis kinney
organized a troop at the First English
Lutheran church, and Samuel s. vi
gran, present scoutmaster, organized
Troop 3, the only one to continue for
any length of time. Before the organ
ization of these troops, the First Meth
odist church, through Paul A. Beckett,
organized the first registered troop re-
ported in Richmond About the same
time the st. Paul Lutheran organized
a troop.

Farmers Busy Getting
Ready for Spring Work

Wayne county farmers are preparing
for a big spring drive while waiting
for the ground to dry out from the
soaking rains of last week, says
County Agent j. c. Kline.
Treatment of oats for smut, treat
ment of other seed for plant diseases,
getting farm tools ready for use, and
putting in of garden stuff are being
carried out all over the county.
Part of the county's clover was
sown during the dry, warm weather of
two weeks ago and the rest will go
in just as soon as possible. Spring
wheat will be the next crop sown.
There is not much of this, however.

Overcoming Hay Fever.

Hay fever Is gradually becoming bet.
ter understood. From the public health
reports, it appears that recent inves-
LEGATIONS have shown only one person
In a hundred to be susceptible, while
the susceptibles differ widely in the ef-
fects produced on them by the various
plant pOllens that give rise to the dis
ease. In the eastern and southern
United States pollen Of the rag
weed finds the greatest number Of
sensitive subjects. the spring type OF
hay fever being therefore the most
common. The smaller number Of per-
sons who are affected by grass pollen
have the autumnal type Of fever. Some
persons have both the spring and the
autumnal fevefs, and about 8 per cent
Of the susceptibles are sensitive not
only to the ragweed and grass pollens,
but to various other pollens, including
some tree pollens. Such unfortunates
are liable to hay fever attacks through
most Of the. year. Some patients
are affected only when the specific pol
len Is at its greatest abundance, but
others have the disease during the en-
tire season OF the plants pollination.
